The Option is subject to the terms of this Non-Statutory Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) and the Plan, and shall be subject to the execution and return of this Agreement by the Optionee to the Company within 30 days of the date hereof (including by utilizing an electronic signature and/or web-based approval and notice process or any other process as may be authorized by the Company). This Option is a non-qualified stock option and is not intended by the parties hereto to be, and shall not be treated as, an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning attributed to such terms under the Plan, unless the context requires otherwise. By executing this Agreement, the Optionee acknowledges that his or her agreement to the covenants set forth in Section 7 is a material inducement to the Company in granting this Award to the Optionee.

The terms and conditions of the Option granted hereby, to the extent not controlled by the terms and conditions contained in the Plan, are as follows:

1. No Right to Continued Employee Status or Consultant Service

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon the Optionee the right to the continuation of his or her Employee status, or, in the case of a Consultant, to the continuation of his or her service arrangement, or in either case to interfere with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates to terminate the Optionee’s Business Relationship (as defined in Section 7).

2. Term of Option

As a general matter, the Option will expire on the Expiration Date set forth above and be deemed to have been forfeited by the Optionee. As provided below, the Optionee’s right to exercise the Option may expire prior to the Expiration Date if the Optionee’s Business Relationship Terminates, including in the event of the Optionee’s Disability or death. This Agreement shall remain in effect until the Option has fully vested and been exercised or any unexercised portion thereof has been forfeited by the Optionee as provided in this Agreement. No portion of this Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date, or such earlier date as may be applicable, except as provided herein.

3. Vesting of Option

Except as otherwise provided in Section 6 of this Agreement, if the Optionee continuously maintains his or her Business Relationship from the Date of Grant, then the Option shall vest and become exercisable in the numbers and on the dates specified in the Vesting Schedule set forth above. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or as otherwise determined by the Committee, if the Optionee’s Business Relationship Terminates for any reason prior to the Vesting Dates set forth above, the portion of the Option that has not previously vested as of such date shall terminate upon such Termination and be deemed to have been forfeited by the Optionee.

4. Exercise

Prior to the Expiration Date and at any time during the Optionee’s Business Relationship, the Optionee may exercise all or a portion of the Option, to the extent vested, by giving notice in the form, to the person, and using the administrative method and the exercise procedures established by the Committee from time to time (including any procedures utilizing an electronic signature and/or web-based approval and notice process), specifying the number of Shares to be acquired. The Optionee’s right to exercise the vested portion of the Option following the date that the Optionee’s Business Relationship Terminates will depend on the reason for such Termination, as described in Sections 5 and 6, below.

The Optionee must pay to the Company at the time of exercise the amount of the Option Price for the number of Shares covered by the notice to exercise (“Aggregate Option Price”). The Aggregate Option Price for any Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be paid in any or any

2

combination of the following forms: (x) cash or its equivalent (e.g., a check); or (y) if permitted by the Committee, the transfer, either actually or by attestation, to the Company of Shares that have been held by the Optionee for at least six (6) months (or such lesser period as may be permitted by the Committee) prior to the exercise of the Option, such transfer to be upon such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee; or (z) in the form of other property as determined by the Committee. Any Shares transferred to the Company as payment of the exercise price under an Option shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the last business day preceding the date of exercise of such Option. In addition, (x) at the discretion of the Committee at the time of exercise, the Optionee may provide for the payment of the Aggregate Option Price through Share withholding as a result of which the number of Shares issued upon exercise of an Option would be reduced by a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the Aggregate Option Price and (y) Options may be exercised through a registered broker-dealer pursuant to such cashless exercise procedures that are, from time to time, deemed acceptable by the Committee. If requested by the Committee, the Optionee shall deliver this Agreement to the Company, which shall endorse thereon a notation of such exercise and return such Agreement to the Optionee. No fractional Shares (or cash in lieu thereof) shall be issued upon exercise of an Option and the number of Shares that may be purchased upon exercise shall be rounded to the nearest number of whole Shares.

5. Termination of Service

If the Optionee incurs a Termination for any reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, without Cause, other than as a result of the Optionee’s death or Disability, then the portion of this Option that has previously vested but has not been exercised shall terminate at the end of the day that is ninety (90) days following the date of Termination of the Optionee’s Business Relationship. If the Optionee incurs a Termination for Cause, then this Option and all rights attached hereto shall be forfeited and terminate immediately upon the effective date of such Termination for Cause.

6. Death or Disability of the Optionee

Upon the Optionee’s Termination by reason of Disability or death prior to the Vesting Dates set forth above, the portion of the Option that would have vested on the next applicable Vesting Date shall immediately vest as of the date of such Termination.

Upon the Optionee’s Termination by reason of Disability, the vested portion of the Option shall remain exercisable until the first to occur of (a) the end of the day that is one (1) year after the date of the Optionee’s Termination for Disability or (b) the Expiration Date of the Option. If the Optionee incurs a Termination by reason of death, then, the vested portion of the Option shall remain exercisable until the end of the day that is one (1) year after the date of the Optionee’s death, even if such period extends past the Expiration Date. Until such termination of the Option, the vested portion of the Option may, to the extent that this Option has not previously been exercised by the Optionee, be exercised by the Optionee in the case of his or her Disability, or, in the case of death, by the Optionee’s personal representative or the person entitled to the Optionee’s rights under this Agreement.
