1.Incorporation of Plan. The rights and duties of the Company and the Participant under this Agreement shall in all respects be subject to and governed by the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is delivered herewith or has been previously provided to the Participant and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, (i) in the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained in the Plan and an express term contained in this Agreement, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan will govern and prevail, and (ii) the terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be in conflict or inconsistent with the Plan merely because they impose greater or additional restrictions, obligations or duties, or if this Agreement provides that this Agreement terms apply notwithstanding the provisions to the contrary in the Plan. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Plan.

2.Grant of Option; Term of Option. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants the Participant, as a matter of separate inducement and agreement in connection with his or her employment with or service to the Company or an Affiliate, and not in lieu of any salary or other compensation for his or her services, the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase all or any part of that number of shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) at the exercise price per Share (the “Option Price”) specified on the Grant Notice. The Option shall be designated as a Nonqualified Option or an Incentive Option as noted on the Grant Notice. If the Option is designated as an Incentive Option, (i) the Company makes no representation or guarantee that the Option will qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Code Section 422 and (ii) if such Option does not qualify as an incentive stock option under Code Section 422, the Option (or portion thereof) shall be treated as a Nonqualified Option. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Option will expire if not exercised in full before the Expiration Date (such term commencing with the Grant Date and ending on the Expiration Date being referred to as the “Option Period”). The Participant expressly acknowledges that the terms of the Grant Notice shall be incorporated herein by reference and shall constitute part of this Agreement. The Company and the Participant further acknowledge that the Company’s and the Participant’s signatures on the Grant Notice, or the Participant's electronic acceptance of the Option (using such procedures as required by the Company, including an online acceptance process through a website maintained by the Company or an agent designated by the Company), shall constitute their acceptance of all of the terms of this Agreement.

(a)Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the Option shall vest and become exercisable upon such date or dates, and subject to such conditions, as are described in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the terms of the Grant Notice. The Participant expressly acknowledges that the Option shall vest and become exercisable only upon such terms and conditions as are provided in this Agreement (including the terms set forth in the Grant Notice) and the Plan.

(b)To the extent that the Option is vested but is not exercised, the Option shall accumulate and be exercisable by the Participant in whole or in part at any time prior to the Expiration Date, subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. Upon the exercise of an Option in whole or in part, payment of the Option Price in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, and satisfaction of such other conditions as may be established by the Administrator, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Participant a certificate or certificates for the Shares purchased (or, in the case of uncertificated shares, other written evidence of ownership in accordance with Applicable Law shall be provided). The total number of Shares that may be acquired upon exercise of the Option shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Payment of the Option Price may be made in cash or cash equivalent; provided that, except where prohibited by the Administrator or any Applicable Law (and subject to such terms and conditions as may be established by the Administrator), payment may also be made (i) by delivery (by either actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant for such time period, if any, as may be determined by the Administrator; (ii) by shares of Common Stock withheld upon exercise; (iii) by delivery of written notice of exercise to the Company and delivery to a broker of written notice of exercise and irrevocable instructions to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the Option Price; (iv) by such other payment methods as may be approved by the Administrator and which are acceptable under Applicable Law; and/or (v) by any combination of the foregoing methods. Shares delivered or withheld in payment of the Option Price shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, determined in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

(c)If this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Option under Code Section 422, the Participant hereby acknowledges that there is no assurance that the Option will, in fact, be treated as an Incentive Option under Code Section 422 even if designated as such. To the extent this Option and any other incentive stock options of the Participant having an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $100,000 (determined as of the Grant Date) first becomes exercisable in any year, such options will not qualify as incentive stock options under Code Section 422.

(b)If the Participant's employment or service terminates as a result of the Participant's death or Disability, the Option may be exercised only to the extent vested and exercisable on the Participant’s Termination Date. The Option must be exercised, if at all, prior to the first to occur of the following, as applicable: (X) the close of the period of twelve months next succeeding the Termination Date; or (Y) the Expiration Date. Any portion of the Option that is not vested as of the Participant’s Termination Date shall be terminated as of such date. In the event of death, the Option may be exercised by the Participant's legal representative or legatee.

(c)If the employment or service of the Participant is terminated for Cause, the Option (whether then vested or unvested) shall lapse and no longer be exercisable as of the Participant’s Termination Date, as determined by the Administrator. The determination of “Cause” shall be made by the Administrator, and such determination shall be final and conclusive. Without in any way limiting the effect of the foregoing, for purposes of the Plan and the Option, the Participant’s employment or service shall be deemed to have terminated for Cause if, after the Participant’s employment or service has terminated, facts and circumstances are discovered that would have justified, in the opinion of the Administrator, a termination for Cause.

(d)Except as the Administrator may otherwise expressly provide or determine (consistent with Code Section 422, if applicable), the employment or service relationship of the Participant shall be treated as continuing intact for any period that the Participant is on military or sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence, provided that the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days, or, if longer, as long as the Participant’s right to reemployment is guaranteed either by statute or by contract. The employment or service relationship of the Participant shall also be treated as continuing intact while the Participant is not in active service because of because of temporary disability (any disability other than a Disability).

5.Effect of Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of a Change of Control, the Option shall be subject to such terms and conditions as are set forth in Section 14 of the Plan; provided, however, in the event that the Participant has entered into, or is a participant in, a change in control agreement or plan, employment agreement or similar agreement, plan or arrangement with the Company or an Affiliate, the Participant shall be entitled to the greater of the benefits provided upon a Change of Control of the Company under the Plan or the respective change in control agreement, employment agreement or similar agreement, plan or arrangement, and such change in control agreement, employment agreement or similar agreement, plan or arrangement shall not be construed to reduce in any way the benefits otherwise provided to the Participant upon the occurrence of a Change of Control as defined in the Plan.

6.No Stockholder Rights. Neither the Participant nor his or her legal representatives, legatees or distributees shall be deemed to be the holder of any shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, and shall not have any rights of a stockholder, unless and until (and then only to the extent that) the Option has vested and been exercised and certificates for the shares acquired upon exercise of the

7.No Right of Continued Employment or Service; No Right to Future Awards. Neither the Plan, the Option, this Agreement nor any other action related to the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate as an Employee, Director or Independent Contractor, or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate the Participant’s employment or service at any time. The grant of the Option does not create any obligation to grant further awards to the Participant under the Plan.

8.Nontransferability of Option. To the extent that this Option is designated as an Incentive Option, the Option shall not be transferable (including by sale, assignment, pledge or hypothecation) other than transfers by will or the laws of intestate succession or, in the Administrator’s discretion, such transfers (for no consideration) as may otherwise be permitted in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.421-1(b)(2) or Treas. Reg. Section 1.421-2(c) or any successor provisions thereto. To the extent that this Option is designated as a Nonqualified Option, the Option shall not be transferable (including by sale, assignment, pledge or hypothecation) other than transfers by will or the laws of intestate succession, except for transfers (for no consideration) if and to the extent permitted by the Administrator in a manner consistent with the registration provisions of the Securities Act. The Option shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by him or her or by his or her guardian or legal representative, and thereafter, only by the Participant’s legal representative or legatee. The designation of a beneficiary in accordance with the Plan does not constitute a transfer.
