Initial Grant As soon as practicable after the effective date of this Agreement and subject to Board and all other required approvals, the Company shall grant to the Executive under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) a non-qualified stock option to purchase a number of shares of the common stock of the Company equal to 5.15% of the Company’s fully-diluted common stock (excluding the effects of any conversion of the (i) debt issued in connection with the Initial Financing, (ii) the investor convertible subordinated debt issued in January 2014 or (iii) any other convertible debt that is issued prior to the thirty-six (36) month anniversary of the Effective Date) with a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock (as determined by the Board pursuant to the Plan) at the time of grant. The Initial Grant shall be granted pursuant to and governed by the terms of a stock option award agreement in a form provided by the Company at the time of grant; provided, however, that the form shall provide for cashless exercise of the option in an amount sufficient to satisfy the option exercise price. Provided the Executive remains continuously and actively employed with the Company through the applicable vesting date, the Initial Grant will be vested and exercisable with respect to (i) 10% of the underlying common stock as of the Effective Date, (ii) 25% of the underlying common stock on the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date, and (iii) the remaining shares of underlying common stock in substantially equal monthly installments over the 36-month period that commences on the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initial Grant shall be fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to, but contingent upon, the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined above), provided the Executive remains continuously and actively employed with the Company through the date of such Change in Control.

NOTICE OF STOCK OPTION GRANT Name: Address:
Stock Option Grants Pursuant to the following terms and conditions, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in Holdings’ stock option plan and Holdings agrees as follows:
i. Holdings shall establish a stock option plan (“Stock Option Plan”) providing for grants of options (the “Stock Options”) to purchase the common stock of BD Investment Holdings Inc., par value $0.01 (the “Buyer Common Stock”) in amounts not less than (i) 2% of the Buyer Common Stock (on a fully-diluted post-exercise basis) in the aggregate per year for all executives, employees and financial advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Executive selected by the Board after consultation with, and based on the recommendation of, the CEO, for the calendar years beginning on January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009 and (ii) 2.5% of the Buyer Common Stock (on a fully-diluted post-exercise basis) in the aggregate per year for all executives, employees and financial advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Executive, selected by the Board after consultation with, and based on the recommendation of, the CEO, for the calendar years beginning on January 1, 2010 and January 1, 2011.
ii. Beginning in January 2008, each annual Stock Option grant shall be made between the first and fifteenth business day of the year, unless the CEO, in his sole discretion, shall agree with the Board to a later date during such year (the “Default Date”). If the Board does not approve Stock Option grants in the amounts set forth in Section 4(c)(i) by the Default Date, then Stock Options in such amounts shall be granted pro-rata to existing option holders and employee stockholders as of such date of grant, except that the CEO’s share of such Stock Option grants shall be reduced by 75% and the other four most highly compensated executives’ share of such Stock Option grants shall be reduced by 50%.
iii. The per share exercise price of each Stock Option shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Buyer Common Stock on the date of grant. Each Stock Option granted shall vest in five equal tranches on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant subject to the option holder’s continued employment as of each such vesting date; provided, however, that all Stock Options shall automatically vest in full upon a “change in control” (as defined in the Option Plan, it being understood that an IPO shall in no event constitute a change in control). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, following an IPO, no additional Stock Options shall be granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan.
iv. Upon termination of his employment, the portion of any Stock Option granted to the Executive which has not yet vested shall terminate. In the event the Executive’s employment terminates for any reason other than for Cause, the Executive may exercise any vested portion of any Stock Option held by him on the date of termination provided that he does so prior to the earlier of (A) ninety (90) days following termination of employment and (B) the expiration of the scheduled term of the Stock Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive’s employment is terminated due to death or disability (as defined in Section 5(b)), then the Executive or, as applicable in the event of death, his beneficiary or estate, may exercise any vested portion of any Stock Option held by the Executive on the date employment terminates for the shorter of (A) the period of twelve (12) months following the termination date and, (B) with respect to each Stock Option individually, the expiration of the scheduled term of such Stock Option. Upon a termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company for Cause, all Stock Options shall be forfeited immediately.
v. Holdings, the Company and the Executive agree to cooperate to structure the Stock Option Plan so as to minimize or avoid additional taxes and interest that would otherwise be imposed on the Executive with respect to options granted under the Stock Option Plan pursuant to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code as amended (the “Code”); provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to grant the Executive a “gross-up” or other “make-whole” compensation for such purpose.
Date of Grant The date that the Option is granted (the “Date of Grant”) is set forth above.
Grant of Stock Options This non-qualified Stock Option is granted under and pursuant to the Plan and is subject to each and all of the provisions thereof.
