Purpose of Plan
This Fourth Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan) of GoodRx Holdings, Inc. (as defined below, the Company), adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on January 31, 2020, for executives, directors, consultants, other service providers and key employees of the Company, is intended to advance the best interests of the Company by providing those persons who have a substantial responsibility for its management and growth with additional incentives by allowing them to acquire an ownership interest in the Company and thereby encouraging them to contribute to the success of the Company and to remain in its employ or to continue to provide services to the Company. The availability and offering of equity awards under the Plan also increases the Companys ability to attract and retain individuals of exceptional managerial talent upon whom, in large measure, the sustained progress, growth and profitability of the Company depends. This Plan is a compensatory benefit plan within the meaning of Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, unless and until the Companys Common Stock is publicly traded, the issuances of shares of the Companys Common Stock in respect of Awards granted under the Plan are, to the extent permitted by applicable federal securities laws, intended to qualify for the exemption from registration under Rule 701 of the Securities Act.

(b) Form of Option. Options granted under this Plan shall be nonqualified stock options and are not intended to be incentive stock options within the meaning of Code §422 or any successor provision. The Options issued hereunder are intended to avoid the treatment as deferred compensation of the Participant under Code §409A (or Treasury Regulations or other official IRS guidance issued under Code §409A).

Options shall be exercised in whole or in part by written notice to the Company (to the attention of the Companys Secretary) accompanied by payment in full of the Option exercise price. Payment of the Option exercise price shall be made in cash (including check, bank draft or money order) or, in the discretion of the Board, by (i) delivery of a promissory note, (ii) surrendering Common Stock that has been owned by Participant for at least six months and that has a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price, (iii) by delivery of an irrevocable undertaking by a broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price, or (iv) any combination of the foregoing (in each case, if in accordance with policies approved by the Board).
(f) Terms of Options. The Board shall determine the term of each Option, which term shall in no event exceed ten years from the date of grant.

The Board may provide that settlement of Restricted Stock Units shall occur upon or as soon as reasonably practicable after the vesting of Restricted Stock Units or shall instead be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the election of Participant, in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code.
(d) Voting Rights. A Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units unless and until such shares are delivered in settlement hereof.
(e) Dividend Equivalents. To the extent provided by the Board, a grant of Restricted Stock Units may provide a Participant with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents may be paid currently or credited to an account for such Participant, may be settled in cash and/or shares of Common Stock and may be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which the Dividend Equivalents are paid, as determined by the Board, subject, in each case, to such terms and conditions as the Board shall establish and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.
ARTICLE VI

The holders of such Awards shall supply the Company with such certificates, representations and information as the Company shall request and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company in obtaining such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval.

6.9 Participant Acknowledgments. In connection with the grant of any Award as set forth herein, each Participant acknowledges and agrees, that as a condition to any such grant:
(a) Except as required by applicable law, the Company will have no duty or obligation to disclose to any Participant, and no Participant will have any right to be advised of, any material information regarding the Company or its subsidiaries at any time prior to, upon or in connection with the repurchase of any Employee Shares upon the termination of such Participants employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or as otherwise provided under this Plan or any written agreement evidencing the grant of any Option or the issuance of any shares of Common Stock.
(b) Such Participant will have consulted, or will have had an opportunity to consult with, independent legal counsel regarding his or her rights and obligations under this Plan and any written agreement evidencing any grant of any Award and he or she fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein and therein.
(c) Prior to the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in respect of any Award, such Participant will deliver to the Company an executed consent from such Participants spouse (if any) in the form of Exhibit 2 attached hereto. If, at any time subsequent to the date such Participant is issued any shares of Common Stock in respect of any Award, such Participant becomes legally married (whether in the first instance or to a different spouse), such Participant shall cause his or her spouse to execute and deliver to the Company a consent in the form of Exhibit 2 attached hereto. Such Participants failure to deliver the Company an executed consent in the form of Exhibit 2 at any time when such Participant would otherwise be required to deliver such consent shall constitute such Participants continuing representation and warranty that such Participant is not legally married as of such date.
(d) The information, observations and data (including trade secrets) obtained by Participant while employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries concerning the business or affairs of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (Confidential Information) are the property of the Company or such subsidiaries. Therefore, Participant agrees that Participant shall not disclose to any person or entity or use for Participants own purposes any Confidential Information or any confidential or proprietary information of other persons or entities in the possession of the Company and its subsidiaries (Third Party Information), without the prior written consent of the Board, unless and to the extent that the Confidential Information or Third Party Information becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Participants acts or omissions. Participant shall deliver to the Company at the termination or expiration of Participants employment with the Company and its subsidiaries, or at any other time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer files, disks and tapes, printouts and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) embodying or relating to Third Party Information, Confidential Information, or the business of the Company or any if its subsidiaries which Participant may then possess or have under his or her control. If a written employment or service agreement in effect on the date of determination between a Participant, solely in Participants capacity as an employee, consultant or other agent of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof and not in Participants capacity as an equityholder of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, on the one hand, and the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, on the other hand, contains covenants relating to confidential information similar to the restrictions contained in this Section 6.9(d), such other covenants shall apply with respect to such Participant in lieu of the covenants set forth herein.
(e) As a condition to exercise of any portion of any Option or Legacy Option held by Participant or the issuance of any shares of Common Stock by the Company under the Plan in respect of any Award: (i) Participant shall execute a counterpart to the Stockholders Agreement binding Participant to the terms and conditions contained therein, and (ii) if Participant is married at the time of exercise, Participant shall deliver to the Company a counterpart to the Stockholders Agreement executed by Participants spouse binding Participants spouse to conditions contained therein. In addition, if Participant becomes legally married (whether in the first instance or to a different spouse) subsequent to exercise of any portion of any Option or Legacy Option held by Participant or subsequent to the issuance of any shares of Common Stock by the Company under the Plan in respect of any Award, but prior to the Termination Date, Participant shall cause Participants spouse to execute and deliver to the Company a counterpart to the Stockholders Agreement binding Participants spouse to the conditions contained therein. Following Participants execution of a counterpart to the Stockholders Agreement, in the event of a conflict between the Stockholders Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement shall prevail.
6.10 Repurchase Option.
(a) Repurchase Option. If a Participant is no longer employed (or in the case of a Participant who was not an employee, the date on which such Participant is no longer acting as a director or officer of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries) by the Company or its subsidiaries for any reason, the Employee Shares (whether held by such Participant or one or more transferees of such Participant, other than the Company or any Investor (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement)) will be subject to repurchase by the Company and the Investors (each of the aforementioned solely at their option and the latter on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage of ownership of the Companys Common Stock on a fully diluted and as-converted basis) pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6.10 (the Repurchase Option).
(b) Repurchase Price. Following the Termination Date of any Participant, the Company and the Investors may elect to repurchase all or any portion of the Employee Shares held by such Participant at a price per share equal to (i) in the event of such Participants termination for Cause, at the lower of Original Cost or Fair Market Value (as of the Termination Date) and (ii) otherwise (including, but not limited to, a resignation other than for Good Reason and termination without Cause), at Fair Market Value (as of the Termination Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (a) Participant has previously received a dividend payment on account of Common Stock that was unvested at the time such dividend was declared (including, but not limited to, shares of Common Stock received on account of the exercise of unvested Options, shares of Common Stock received pursuant to the grant of an Award under the Plan designated as Restricted Stock, or otherwise), and (b) those shares of Common Stock do not subsequently vest prior to the time that the repurchase provisions in this Section 6.10 apply, then the repurchase price for any shares of Common Stock otherwise subject to this Section 6.10 shall be further reduced by the amount of such dividend.
(c) Repurchase Procedures. The Company may elect to exercise the Repurchase Option to purchase any amount of the Employee Shares subject to the Repurchase Option by delivering written notice (the Company Repurchase Notice) to the holder or holders of the Employee Shares and the Investors no later than the later of (A) 90 days after the Termination Date and (B) 90 days after the acquisition of the Employee Shares subject to repurchase. To the extent that any portion of the Employee Shares are not being repurchased by the Company, the Investors may elect to exercise the Repurchase Option to purchase up to their respective pro rata share of the remaining Employee Shares by delivering written notice (an Investor Repurchase Notice and together with the Company Repurchase Notice, a Repurchase Notice) to the holder or holders of the applicable Employee Shares within 10 business days of the expiration of the latest period during which the Company was entitled to deliver the Company Repurchase Notice. Each Repurchase Notice will set forth the number of Employee Shares to be acquired from such holder(s), the aggregate consideration to be paid for such Employee Shares and the time and place for the closing of the transaction. If any Employee Shares are held by any transferees of a Participant, the Investors and the Company, as the case may be, will purchase the shares elected to be purchased from such holder(s) of Employee Shares, pro rata
according to the number of Employee Shares held by such holder(s) at the time of delivery of such Repurchase Notice (determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest share). If Employee Shares of different classes are to be purchased pursuant to the Repurchase Option and Employee Shares are held by any transferees of a Participant, the number of shares of each class of Employee Shares to be purchased will be allocated among such holders, pro rata according to the total number of Employee Shares to be purchased from such Persons.
(d) Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Section 6.10 will take place on the date designated in the applicable Repurchase Notice, which date will not be more than 90 days after the delivery of such notice. Each Investor will pay for the Employee Shares to be purchased by it by delivery of a check payable to the holder of such Employee Shares. The Company will pay for the Employee Shares to be purchased by it by first offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owing by such Participant to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, now existing or hereinafter arising (irrespective as to whether such amounts are owing by the holder of such Employee Shares), and will pay the remainder of the purchase price by, at its option, delivery of (A) a check payable to the holder of such Employee Shares, (B) if payment in accordance with clause (A) would result in a breach or default under the Companys debt financing agreements, if any, a subordinated promissory note with a maturity date that does not exceed three years from the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Section 6.10, payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest during the term of the note and bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of five percent (5%) and the then applicable short term federal rate, or (C) a combination of both (A) and (B), in the aggregate amount of the purchase price for such shares. Any notes issued by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.10(d) shall be subject to any restrictive covenants to which the Company or its subsidiaries are subject at the time of such purchase. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all repurchases of Employee Shares by the Company will be subject to applicable restrictions contained in the corporation law of the Companys jurisdiction of incorporation and in the Companys and its subsidiaries debt and equity financing agreements. If any such restrictions prohibit the repurchase of Employee Shares hereunder which the Company is otherwise entitled to make, the Company may make such repurchases as soon as it is permitted to do so under such restrictions. The Investors and/or the Company, as the case may be, will receive customary representations and warranties from each seller regarding the sale of the Employee Shares, including, but not limited to, representations that such seller has good and marketable title to the Employee Shares to be transferred free and clear of all liens, claims and other encumbrances.
(e) This Section 6.10 shall terminate automatically and shall be of no further force and effect upon the earlier to occur of a consummation of a Public Offering or a Sale of the Company.
6.11 Adjustments. In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend or stock split, or combination or other change in the shares of Common Stock, the Board may, in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of rights under outstanding Awards, make such adjustments in the number and type of shares authorized by the Plan, the number and type of shares covered by outstanding Awards and the exercise prices of outstanding Options and Legacy Options as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable, but only if such adjustment to the Option and Legacy Option would not cause the Option or Legacy Option to be treated as providing for the impermissible deferral of compensation pursuant to Code §409A (or Treasury Regulations or other official IRS guidance issued under Code §409A).
6.12 Rights of Participants. Nothing in this Plan or in any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participants employment or service at any time (with or without Cause), nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company for any period of time or to continue his present (or any other) rate of compensation, and except as otherwise provided under this Plan or by the Board in the applicable Award Agreement, in the event of any Participants termination of employment or service (including, but not limited to, the termination by the Company without Cause) any portion of such Participants Award(s) that were not previously vested and (in the case of Options) exercisable shall expire and be forfeited as of the date of such termination. No terminated employee or other service provider shall have a right to be selected as a Participant or, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant.
6.13 Amendment, Suspension and Termination of Plan. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time and may amend it from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem advisable; provided that no such amendment shall be made without stockholder approval to the extent such approval is required by law, agreement or the rules of any exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed, no such amendment, suspension or termination shall materially impair the rights of Participants under outstanding Awards without the consent of the Participants affected thereby and, subject to Section 6.11, no such amendment shall increase the number of securities that may be issued by the Plan without the approval of the holders of at least 80% of the preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share. No Awards shall be granted hereunder after the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the Plan (as amended and restated).
6.14 Amendment, Modification and Cancellation of Outstanding Awards. The Board may amend or modify any Award in any manner to the extent that the Board would have had the authority under the Plan initially to grant such Award; provided that no such amendment or modification shall materially impair the rights of any Participant under any Award granted prior to the date of such amendment or modification without the consent of such Participant. With the Participants consent, the Board may cancel any Award and issue a new Award to such Participant.
6.15 Other Amendments. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, and in addition to the powers of amendment and modification set forth herein, the provisions hereof and the provisions of any Award granted hereunder may be amended unilaterally by the Board from time to time (but the Board shall have no obligation to do so) to the extent necessary (and only to the extent necessary) to prevent the implementation, application or existence (as the case may be) of any such provision from causing any Award granted hereunder to be treated as providing for the impermissible deferral of compensation pursuant to Code §409A (or Treasury Regulations or other official IRS guidance issued under Code §409A).
6.16 Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board, the members of the Board (or any committee appointed thereby) shall be indemnified by the Company against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which they or any of them may be party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Award granted thereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding; provided that any such Board member shall be entitled to the indemnification rights set forth in this Section 6.16 only if such member has acted in good faith and in a manner that such member reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful, and further provided that upon the institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, a Board member shall give the Company written notice thereof and an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before such Board member undertakes to handle and defend it on his own behalf.
6.17 Remedies. Each of the Company, any Participant and the Investors will be entitled to enforce its rights under this Plan specifically, to recover damages and costs (including reasonable attorneys fees) caused by any breach of any provision of this Plan and to exercise all other rights existing in its favor. Each Participant and the Company acknowledges and agrees that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Plan and that any party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or deposit) for specific performance and/or other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Plan.
6.18 Notices. Any notice required or permitted under this Plan or any agreement executed and delivered in connection with this Plan shall be in writing and shall be either personally delivered, or mailed by first class mail, return receipt requested, to any Participant at the address indicated in the Companys records for such Person, and to the Company at the address below indicated:

4. MANNER OF EXERCISE.
4.1. Stock Option Exercise Notice and Agreement. To exercise this Option, Optionee (or in the case of exercise after Optionees death or incapacity, Optionees executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) must deliver to the Company an executed Stock Option Exercise Notice and Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex A, or in such other form as may be approved by the Board from time to time (the Exercise Agreement) and payment for the shares being purchased in accordance with this Agreement. The Exercise Agreement shall set forth, among other things, (i) Optionees election to exercise this Option, (ii) the number of Vested Shares being purchased, (iii) any representations, warranties and agreements regarding Optionees investment intent and access to information as may be required by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws in connection with any exercise of this Option, (iv) any other agreements required by the Company, and (v) Optionees obligation to execute and deliver certain Stock Powers and Assignments Separate from Stock Certificate to the Company.

4.2. Limitations on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised unless such exercise is in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, as they are in effect on the date of exercise.
4.3. Payment. The Exercise Agreement shall be accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price for the shares being purchased in cash (by check or wire transfer), or where permitted by law:
(a) by surrender of shares of the Company held for at least six months by the Optionee that are free and clear of all security interests, pledges, liens, claims or encumbrances and: (i) for which the Company has received full payment of the purchase price within the meaning of SEC Rule 144 (and, if such shares were purchased from the Company by use of a promissory note, such note has been fully paid with respect to such shares) or (ii) that were obtained by Optionee in the public market;
(b) provided that a public market for the Common Stock exists, subject to compliance with applicable law, by exercising as set forth below, through a same day sale commitment from Optionee and a broker-dealer whereby Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise this Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased sufficient to pay the total Exercise Price, and whereby the broker-dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the total Exercise Price directly to the Company; or
(c) by any combination of the foregoing or any other method of payment approved by the Board that constitutes legal consideration for the issuance of Shares.

5
amendment by the Company or the Board, be reformed to comply with the requirements of Section 25102(o) and/or Rule 701.

Optionee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), any state securities commission or any stock exchange to effect such compliance.
6. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. This Option may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee or in the event of Optionees incapacity, by Optionees legal representative.

If Optionee is no longer employed (or in the case of an Optionee who was not an employee, the date on which such Optionee is no longer acting as a director or officer of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries) by the Company or its subsidiaries for any reason, the Shares (whether held by such Optionee or one or more transferees of such Optionee, other than the Company or any Investor (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement)) will be subject to repurchase by the Company and the Investors (each of the aforementioned solely at their option and the latter on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage of ownership of the Companys Common Stock on a fully diluted and as-converted basis) pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 10 (the Repurchase Option).
10.2. Repurchase Price. Following the Termination Date of any Optionee, the Company and the Investors may elect to repurchase all or any portion of the Shares held by such Optionee at a price per share equal to (i) in the event of such Optionees termination for Cause, at the lower of Original Cost or Fair Market Value (as of the Termination Date) and (ii) otherwise (including, but not limited to, a resignation other than for Good Reason and termination without Cause), at Fair Market Value (as of the Termination Date).
10.3. Repurchase Procedures. The Company may elect to exercise the Repurchase Option to purchase any amount of the Shares subject to the Repurchase Option by delivering written notice (the Company Repurchase Notice) to the holder or holders of the Shares and the Investors no later than the later of (A) 90 days after the Termination Date and (B) 90 days after the acquisition of the Shares subject to repurchase. To the extent that any portion of the Shares are not being repurchased by the Company, the Investors may elect to exercise the Repurchase Option to purchase up to their respective pro rata share of the remaining Shares by delivering written notice (an Investor Repurchase Notice and together with the Company Repurchase Notice, a Repurchase Notice) to the holder or holders of the applicable Shares within 10 business days of the expiration of the latest period during which the Company was entitled to deliver the Company Repurchase Notice. Each Repurchase Notice will set forth the number of Shares to be acquired from such holder(s), the aggregate consideration to be paid for such Shares and the time and place for the closing of the transaction. If any Shares are held by any transferees of Optionee, the Investors and the Company, as the case may be, will purchase the Shares elected to be purchased from such holder(s) of Shares, pro rata according to the number of Shares held by such holder(s) at the time of delivery of such Repurchase Notice (determined as
8
nearly as practicable to the nearest share). If Shares of different classes are to be purchased pursuant to the Repurchase Option and Shares are held by any transferees of Optionee, the number of Shares of each class of Shares to be purchased will be allocated among such holders, pro rata according to the total number of Shares to be purchased from such Persons.
10.4. Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Section 10 will take place on the date designated in the applicable Repurchase Notice, which date will not be more than 90 days after the delivery of such notice. Each Investor will pay for the Shares to be purchased by it by delivery of a check payable to the holder of such Shares. The Company will pay for the Shares to be purchased by it by first offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owing by such Optionee to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, now existing or hereinafter arising (irrespective as to whether such amounts are owing by the holder of such Shares), and will pay the remainder of the purchase price by, at its option, delivery of (A) a check payable to the holder of such Shares, (B) if payment in accordance with clause (A) would result in a breach or default under the Companys debt financing agreements, if any, a subordinated promissory note with a maturity date that does not exceed three years from the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Section 10, payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest during the term of the note and bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of five percent (5%) and the then applicable short term federal rate, or (C) a combination of both (A) and (B), in the aggregate amount of the purchase price for such Shares. Any notes issued by the Company pursuant to this Section 10 shall be subject to any restrictive covenants to which the Company or its subsidiaries are subject at the time of such purchase. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all repurchases of Shares by the Company will be subject to applicable restrictions contained in the corporation law of the Companys jurisdiction of incorporation and in the Companys and its subsidiaries debt and equity financing agreements. If any such restrictions prohibit the repurchase of Shares hereunder which the Company is otherwise entitled to make, the Company may make such repurchases as soon as it is permitted to do so under such restrictions. The Investors and/or the Company, as the case may be, will receive customary representations and warranties from each seller regarding the sale of the Shares, including, but not limited to, representations that such seller has good and marketable title to the Shares to be transferred free and clear of all liens, claims and other encumbrances.
10.5. This Section 10 shall terminate automatically and shall be of no further force and effect upon the earlier to occur of a consummation of a Public Offering or a Sale of the Company.
11. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. Optionee shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any Shares unless and until such Shares are issued to Optionee. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Optionee will have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Shares from and after the date that Shares are issued to Optionee pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Exercise Agreement until such time as Optionee disposes of the Shares or the Company and/or its assignee(s) exercise(s) the Repurchase Option or rights under the Stockholders Agreement. Upon an exercise of the rights under the Stockholders Agreement or Repurchase Option, Optionee will have no further rights as a holder of the Shares so purchased upon such exercise, other than the right to receive payment for the Shares so purchased in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement, and Optionee will promptly surrender the stock certificate(s) evidencing the Shares so purchased to the Company for transfer or cancellation.
9
12. ESCROW. As security for Optionees faithful performance of this Agreement, Optionee agrees, immediately upon receipt of the stock certificate(s) evidencing the Shares, to deliver such certificate(s), together with two (2) copies of a blank Stock Power and Assignment Separate from Stock Certificate in the form attached to the Exercise Agreement (the Stock Powers), both executed by Optionee (and Optionees spouse, if any) (with the transferee, certificate number, date and number of Shares left blank), to the Secretary of the Company or other designee of the Company (the Escrow Holder), who is hereby appointed to hold such certificate(s) and Stock Powers in escrow and to take all such actions and to effectuate all such transfers and/or releases of such Shares as are in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Optionee and the Company agree that Escrow Holder will not be liable to any party to this Agreement (or to any other party) for any actions or omissions unless Escrow Holder is grossly negligent or intentionally fraudulent in carrying out the duties of Escrow Holder under this Agreement. Escrow Holder may rely upon any letter, notice or other document executed with any signature purported to be genuine and may rely on the advice of counsel and obey any order of any court with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and will not be liable for any act or omission taken by Escrow Holder in good faith reliance on such documents, the advice of counsel or a court order. The Shares will be released from escrow upon termination of both of the Stockholders Agreement and Repurchase Option.

AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS OF OPTIONEE: By signing this Stock Option Exercise Notice and Agreement, Optionee hereby agrees with, and represents to, the Company as follows:
2. | Terms Governing. I acknowledge and agree with the Company that I am acquiring the Purchased Shares by exercise of the Option subject to all other terms and conditions of the Notice of Stock Option Grant and the Stock Option Agreement that govern the Option, including without limitation the terms of the Companys Third Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, as it may be amended (the Plan). |
3. | Investment Intent; Securities Law Restrictions. I represent and warrant to the Company that I am acquiring and will hold the Purchased Shares for investment for my account only, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the Purchased Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). I understand that the Purchased Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from such registration requirement and that the Purchased Shares must be held by me indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or I obtain an opinion of counsel (in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel) that registration is not required. I acknowledge that the Company is under no obligation to register the Purchased Shares under the Securities Act or under any other securities law. |
4. | Restrictions on Transfer; Rule 144. I acknowledge that the Purchased Shares are subject to the restrictions on Transfer set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant and the Stock Option Agreement that govern the Option. I will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Purchased Shares in violation of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 144 under the Securities Act described below Rule 144) or of any other applicable securities laws. I am aware of Rule 144, which permits limited public resales of securities acquired in a non-public offering, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, which include (without limitation) that: (a) certain current public information about the Company is available; (b) the resale occurs only after the holding period required by Rule 144 has been met; (c) the sale occurs through an unsolicited brokers transaction; and (d) the amount of securities being sold during any three-month period does not exceed specified limitations. I understand that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the Company has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future. |
5. | Access to Information; Understanding of Risk in Investment. I acknowledge that I have received and had access to such information as I consider necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to invest in the Purchased Shares and that I had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the issuance of the Purchased Shares. I am aware that my investment in the Company is a speculative investment that has limited liquidity and is subject to the risk of complete loss. I am able, without impairing my financial condition, to hold the Purchased Shares for an indefinite period and to suffer a complete loss of my investment in the Purchased Shares. |
6. | Stockholders Agreement; Repurchase Option; Market Stand-off. I acknowledge that the Purchased Shares remain subject to the Stockholders Agreement, as amended, the Companys Repurchase Option and the market stand-off covenants (sometimes referred to as the lock-up), all in accordance with the Notice of Stock Option Grant and the Option Agreement that govern the Option |
7. | Form of Ownership. I acknowledge that the Company has encouraged me to consult my own adviser to determine the form of ownership of the Purchased Shares that is appropriate for me. In the event that I choose to transfer my Purchased Shares to a trust, I agree to sign a Stock Transfer Agreement. In the event that I choose to transfer my Purchased Shares to a trust that is not an eligible revocable trust, I also acknowledge that the transfer will be treated as a disposition for tax purposes. As a result, unfavorable tax consequences may occur. |
8. | Investigation of Tax Consequences. I acknowledge that the Company has encouraged me to consult my own advisor to determine the tax consequences of acquiring the Purchased Shares at this time. |
2
9. | Other Tax Matters. I 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 my tax liabilities. I will not make any claim against the Company or its Board, officers or employees related to tax liabilities arising from my options or my other compensation. In particular, I acknowledge that my options (including the Option) are exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code only if the exercise price per share is at least equal to the fair market value per share of the Common Stock at the time the option was granted by the Board. Since shares of the Common Stock are not traded on an established securities market, the determination of their fair market value was made by the Board and/or by an independent valuation firm retained by the Company. I acknowledge that there is no guarantee in either case that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with the valuation, and I will not make any claim against the Company or its Board of Directors, officers or employees in the event that the Internal Revenue Service asserts that the valuation was too low. |
10. | Stock Powers. As security for my faithful performance of this Agreement, including the Notice of Stock Option Grant and the Option Agreement, I (and my spouse, if any) have executed and deliver herewith two copies of the Stock Power and Assignment Separate from Stock Certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (with the date and number of shares left blank) (the Stock Powers). |
11. | Confidentiality. To the extent not covered by an existing agreement concerning confidentiality or non-disclosure between me and the Company, I agree that I shall at all times hold in strict confidence and not disclose to any individual or entity, and shall not use for any purpose other than for the benefit of the Company, all non-public information of the Company received by me (including without limitation information disclosed to me in connection with the Option Agreement, exercise of my option, or my being an option holder or stockholder of the Company) except upon the prior written authorization of the Company. |
12. | Escrow. Immediately upon receipt of the stock certificate evidencing the Shares, I will deliver such certificate to the Escrow Holder to be held in escrow in accordance with the terms of the Notice of Stock Option Grant and the Option Agreement and this Agreement. |
13. | Consent of Spouse. As a further condition to the Companys obligations under this Agreement, I deliver herewith the Consent of Spouse attached hereto as Exhibit 2 executed by my spouse (or appropriated marked and executed by me if I do not have a spouse). |
14. | California Corporate Securities Law. THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES WHICH ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT HAS NOT BEEN QUALIFIED WITH THE COMMISSIONER OF CORPORATIONS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THE ISSUANCE OF THE SECURITIES OR THE PAYMENT OR RECEIPT OF ANY PART OF THE CONSIDERATION THEREFOR PRIOR TO THE QUALIFICATION IS UNLAWFUL, UNLESS THE SALE OF SECURITIES IS EXEMPT FROM QUALIFICATION BY SECTION 25100, 25102 OR 25105 OF THE CALIFORNIA CORPORATIONS CODE. THE RIGHTS OF ALL PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT ARE EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED UPON THE QUALIFICATION BEING OBTAINED, UNLESS THE SALE IS SO EXEMPT. |
15. | Tax Withholding. As a condition of exercising the Option, I agree to make adequate provision for foreign, federal, state or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the grant, vesting or exercise of this Option, or disposition of the Purchased Shares, whether by withholding, direct payment to the Company, or otherwise. |

16. | IMPORTANT NOTE: I HAVE REVIEWED WITH MY OWN TAX ADVISORS THEFEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THIS INVESTMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. I AM RELYING SOLELY ON SUCH ADVISORS AND NOT ON ANY STATEMENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS OF THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENTS. |

The Exercise Agreement shall set forth, among other things, (i) Optionees election to exercise this Option, (ii) the number of Vested Shares being purchased, (iii) any representations, warranties and agreements regarding Optionees investment intent and access to information as may be required by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws in connection with any exercise of this Option, (iv) any other agreements required by the Company, and (v) Optionees obligation to execute and deliver certain Stock Powers and Assignments Separate from Stock Certificate to the Company.

4.2 Limitations on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised unless such exercise is in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, as they are in effect on the date of exercise.
4.3 Payment. The Exercise Agreement shall be accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price for the shares being purchased in cash (by check or wire transfer), or where permitted by law:
(a) by surrender of shares of the Company held for at least six months by the Optionee that are free and clear of all security interests, pledges, liens, claims or encumbrances and: (i) for which the Company has received full payment of the purchase price within the meaning of SEC Rule 144 (and, if such shares were purchased from the Company by use of a promissory note, such note has been fully paid with respect to such shares) or (ii) that were obtained by Optionee in the public market;
(b) provided that a public market for the Common Stock exists, subject to compliance with applicable law, by exercising as set forth below, through a same day sale commitment from Optionee and a broker-dealer whereby Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise this Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased sufficient to pay the total Exercise Price, and whereby the broker-dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the total Exercise Price directly to the Company; or

4.4 Tax Withholding. Prior to the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of the Option, Optionee must pay or provide for any applicable federal, state and local withholding obligations of the Company. If the Board permits, Optionee may provide for payment of withholding taxes upon exercise of the Option by requesting that the Company retain the minimum number of Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld; or to arrange a mandatory sell to cover on Participants behalf (without further authorization); but in no event will the Company withhold Shares or sell to cover if such withholding would result in adverse accounting consequences to the Company. In case of stock withholding or a sell to cover, the Company shall issue the net number of Shares to the Optionee by deducting the Shares retained from the Shares issuable upon exercise.
4.5 Issuance of Shares. Provided that the Exercise Agreement and payment are in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, the Company shall issue the Shares issuable upon a valid exercise of this Option registered in the name of Optionee, Optionees authorized assignee, or Optionees legal representative, and shall deliver certificates representing the Shares with the appropriate legends affixed thereto.

Any provision of this Agreement that is inconsistent with Section 25102(o) or Rule 701 shall, without further act or
5
amendment by the Company or the Board, be reformed to comply with the requirements of Section 25102(o) and/or Rule 701. The exercise of this Option and the issuance and transfer of Shares shall be subject to compliance by the Company and Optionee with all applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed at the time of such issuance or transfer. Optionee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), any state securities commission or any stock exchange to effect such compliance.
6. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. This Option may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee or in the event of Optionees incapacity, by Optionees legal representative.

(d) Optionee shall have provided the Company with written assurances, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, which may include without limitation an opinion of counsel, that the proposed disposition will not result in the contravention of any transfer restrictions applicable to the Shares pursuant to the provisions of the regulations promulgated under Section 25102(o), Rule 701 or under any other applicable securities laws or adversely affect the Companys ability to rely on the exemption(s) from registration under the Securities Act or under any other applicable securities laws for the grant of the Option, the issuance of Shares thereunder or any other issuance of securities under the Plan.

7.2 Restriction on Transfer. Optionee shall not Transfer any of the Shares (or any interest therein) which are subject to the Companys Repurchase Option or the Stockholders Agreement, except as permitted by this Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement.
7.3 Transferee Obligations.

In addition, upon request of the Company or the underwriters managing a public offering of the Companys securities (other than the initial public offering), Optionee hereby agrees to be bound by similar restrictions, and to sign a similar agreement as may be requested by the underwriters, in connection with no more than one additional registration statement filed within 12 months after the closing date of the initial public offering, provided that the duration of the lock-up period with respect to such additional registration shall not exceed 90 days from the effective date of such additional registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during the last 17 days of the restricted period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs, or prior to the expiration of the restricted period the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the restricted period, then, upon the request of the managing underwriter, to the extent required by any FINRA rules, the restrictions imposed by this subsection shall continue to apply until the end of the third trading day following the expiration of the 15-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event.

If Optionee is no longer employed (or in the case of an Optionee who was not an employee, the date on which such Optionee is no longer acting as a director or officer of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries) by the Company or its subsidiaries for any reason, the Shares (whether held by such Optionee or one or more transferees of such Optionee, other than the Company or any Investor (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement)) will be subject to repurchase by the Company and the Investors (each of the aforementioned solely at their option and the latter on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage of ownership of the Companys Common Stock on a fully diluted and as-converted basis) pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 10 (the Repurchase Option).
10.2 Repurchase Price. Following the Termination Date of any Optionee, the Company and the Investors may elect to repurchase all or any portion of the Shares held by such Optionee at a price per share equal to (i) in the event of such Optionees termination for Cause, at the lower of Original Cost or Fair Market Value (as of the Termination Date) and (ii) otherwise (including, but not limited to, a resignation other than for Good Reason and termination without Cause), at Fair Market Value (as of the Termination Date).
10.3 Repurchase Procedures. The Company may elect to exercise the Repurchase Option to purchase any amount of the Shares subject to the Repurchase Option by delivering written notice (the Company Repurchase Notice) to the holder or holders of the Shares and the Investors no later than the later of (A) 90 days after the Termination Date and (B) 90 days after the acquisition of the Shares subject to repurchase. To the extent that any portion of the Shares are not being repurchased by the Company, the Investors may elect to exercise the Repurchase Option to purchase up to their respective pro rata share of the remaining Shares by delivering written notice (an Investor Repurchase Notice and together with the Company Repurchase Notice, a Repurchase Notice) to the holder or holders of the applicable Shares within 10 business days of the expiration of the latest period during which the Company was entitled to deliver the Company Repurchase Notice. Each Repurchase Notice will set forth the number of Shares to be acquired from such holder(s), the aggregate consideration to be paid for such Shares and the time and place for the closing of the transaction. If any Shares are held by any transferees of Optionee, the Investors and the Company, as the case may be, will purchase the Shares elected to be purchased from such holder(s) of Shares, pro rata according to the number of Shares held by such holder(s) at the time of delivery of such Repurchase Notice (determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest share). If Shares of different classes are to be purchased pursuant to the Repurchase Option and Shares are held by any transferees of Optionee, the number of Shares of each class of Shares to be purchased will be allocated among such holders, pro rata according to the total number of Shares to be purchased from such Persons.

10.4 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Section 10 will take place on the date designated in the applicable Repurchase Notice, which date will not be more than 90 days after the delivery of such notice. Each Investor will pay for the Shares to be purchased by it by delivery of a check payable to the holder of such Shares. The Company will pay for the Shares to be purchased by it by first offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owing by such Optionee to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, now existing or hereinafter arising (irrespective as to whether such amounts are owing by the holder of such Shares), and will pay the remainder of the purchase price by, at its option, delivery of (A) a check payable to the holder of such Shares, (B) if payment in accordance with clause (A) would result in a breach or default under the Companys debt financing agreements, if any, a subordinated promissory note with a maturity date that does not exceed three years from the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Section 10, payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest during the term of the note and bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of five percent (5%) and the then applicable short term federal rate, or (C) a combination of both (A) and (B), in the aggregate amount of the purchase price for such Shares. Any notes issued by the Company pursuant to this Section 10 shall be subject to any restrictive covenants to which the Company or its subsidiaries are subject at the time of such purchase. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all repurchases of Shares by the Company will be subject to applicable restrictions contained in the corporation law of the Companys jurisdiction of incorporation and in the Companys and its subsidiaries debt and equity financing agreements. If any such restrictions prohibit the repurchase of Shares hereunder which the Company is otherwise entitled to make, the Company may make such repurchases as soon as it is permitted to do so under such restrictions. The Investors and/or the Company, as the case may be, will receive customary representations and warranties from each seller regarding the sale of the Shares, including, but not limited to, representations that such seller has good and marketable title to the Shares to be transferred free and clear of all liens, claims and other encumbrances.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Optionee will have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Shares from and after the date that Shares are issued to Optionee pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Exercise Agreement until such time as Optionee disposes of the Shares or the Company and/or its assignee(s) exercise(s) the Repurchase Option or rights under the Stockholders Agreement. Upon an exercise of the rights under the Stockholders Agreement or Repurchase Option, Optionee will have no further rights as a holder of the Shares so purchased upon such exercise, other than the right to receive payment for the Shares so purchased in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement, and Optionee will promptly surrender the stock certificate(s) evidencing the Shares so purchased to the Company for transfer or cancellation.

Optionee and the Company agree that Escrow Holder will not be liable to any party to this Agreement (or to any other party) for any actions or omissions unless Escrow Holder is grossly negligent or intentionally fraudulent in carrying out the duties of Escrow Holder under this Agreement. Escrow Holder may rely upon any letter, notice or other document executed with any signature purported to be genuine and may rely on the advice of counsel and obey any order of any court with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and will not be liable for any act or omission taken by Escrow Holder in good faith reliance on such documents, the advice of counsel or a court order.
