regard, the Corporation and the Participant desire to restrict the sale of the shares of the
Corporation’s Common Stock issuable to the Participant upon exercise of the option granted

conditions hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this

of the Corporation’s Common Stock (the “Option”). The Option Period shall commence on

US$1.65 per share.
2. Vesting and Exercise of Options. Except as otherwise provided hereunder, the
Option shall vest and be exercisable from time to time in accordance with the following schedule
(purchases may be cumulative); provided, that as of each such date the Participant is
still employed by or providing services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary:
On or after 2009-12-30 the right to purchase up to 25% of the shares subject to the Option
may be exercised; and

3. Termination of Options.
(a) The Option may not be exercised after the expiration of the Option Period and is only
exercisable as provided in Section 4 of this Agreement. The Option hereby granted shall
terminate and be of no force or effect upon the expiration of the Option Period. In addition,
if the Participant has a Termination of Service during the Option Period for any reason, the
unvested portion of the Option shall terminate.
(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement and in the 2007 Plan, the
Participant may exercise the vested portion of the Option in whole or in part at any time or
from time to time from the Grant Date until the first to occur of:
(i) three (3) months following the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service
for any reason other than death or Disability;
(ii) one (1) year following the date of the Participant’s death, if an employee,
director or consultant at the time of death (during which one year period the Option may
be exercised (to the extent otherwise exercisable) by the person to whom the
Participant’s rights hereunder shall have passed by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution (hereinafter, a “Successor”));
(iii) one (1) year following the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service
due to Disability; or
(iv) the expiration of the Option Period.
4. Exercise of Options.
(a) Notice of Exercise. The Option may be exercised by written notice to the
Corporation at the address set forth in Section 10 hereof, or such other address to
which the principal office of the Corporation may be relocated, which notice shall: (i) be
signed by the Participant (or, if applicable, by the Participant’s Successors); (ii) state the
number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised; and (iii) contain such
other information as the Committee may require.
(b) Payment of Option Price. Payment in full of the Option Price shall be made at
the time of the written notice of exercise of the Option: (i) in cash or by check payable to the
order of the Corporation; (ii) by delivery of shares of Common Stock already owned by and in the
Participant’s possession; or (iii) any combination thereof. Shares of Common Stock which the
Participant previously held and surrendered in accordance with rules and regulations adopted by
the Committee for the purpose of making full or partial payment of the Option Price shall be
valued for such purpose at the Fair Market Value thereof on the date the Option, or portion
thereof, is exercised.
(c) Conditions to Exercise. As a condition to the exercise of the Option and the
issuance of shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock upon exercise thereof, the Corporation may:
(i) require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or
appropriate to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and make any
representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Corporation;
and
(ii) obtain such agreements or undertakings from the Participant, if any, as the
Corporation may deem necessary or advisable to insure that the Participant is bound with
respect to any transfer or other restrictions that may be contained in any agreement
among, or restricting the rights of, the Corporation’s Common Stock stockholders at the
time of exercise, or with respect to any restrictions imposed upon stockholders by
underwriters in connection with a public offering referred to in Section 9.
2
(d) Certificates. As soon as practicable after each of the Participant’s notice of
exercise described in Section 4(a) above and the Option Price have been received by the
Corporation, the Corporation shall deliver to the Participant a stock certificate registered in
the Participant’s name representing the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Option.
(e) Acceleration. If, within the one-year period following a Change of Control,
there is a Termination of Service with respect to the Participant due to a Termination Without
Cause, the Option vesting schedule set forth in Section 2 above shall be accelerated by
a period of 12 months measured from the date of such Termination of Service.
5. Representations of Participant. The Participant represents and agrees as
follows:
(a) Ownership of Shares. Following exercise of all or a portion of the Option, the
Participant will be the owner of the Award Shares issued, free and clear of any liens or
encumbrances, except for restrictions set forth in the 2007 Plan, any agreement among the Common
Stock stockholders, or otherwise referenced herein. The Participant agrees that this Agreement
shall be applicable to such Award Shares.
(b) No Registration of Shares. The Participant acknowledges that, in addition to
the restrictions on transfer contained in this Agreement, the Participant has been informed by
the Corporation that, inasmuch as the Award Shares have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) such securities must be held indefinitely unless
subsequently registered or an exemption from registration is available. The Participant further
acknowledges that the Corporation is under no obligation either to register the Award Shares or
the Option or to take any action to make available any exemption from registration or to supply
any information to facilitate sales of such securities. The Participant represents and warrants
that the Award Shares will be acquired by the Participant for investment and not with a view to
the distribution thereof and that, under no circumstances, shall such securities be transferred
in violation of federal or state securities laws. The Participant further agrees that there
shall be either lodged with any stock transfer agent for the Corporation or noted on the stock
transfer records of the Corporation a stop transfer order against the Award Shares and that
there shall be imprinted upon the certificate or certificates issued to the Participant
evidencing such Award Shares a legend reading substantially as follows:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933 OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT AND LAWS OR
THE AVAILABILITY OF AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
THEREOF. THE ISSUER HEREOF MAY, AS A CONDITION TO ITS EFFECTING ANY TRANSFER
HEREOF, REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO IT TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH
TRANSFER DOES NOT VIOLATE SAID REQUIREMENTS.” |
6. Corporation’s Right to Repurchase Award Shares following Termination of Service.
(a) If there is a Termination of Service with respect to the Participant for any reason at
anytime (including, without limitation, the Participant’s death or Disability), then the
Corporation shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase any Award Shares at a
purchase price per share determined as set forth in Section 6(b) below.
(b) The Corporation’s right to repurchase Award Shares following the Participant’s
Termination of Service as provided in Section 6(a) above may be exercised in whole or in
part by the Corporation, if at all, by the Corporation’s delivery to the Participant, within one
hundred twenty (120) days following the Termination of Service, of written notice of the
Corporation’s election to exercise. Such notice shall set forth the number of Award Shares to
be purchased and the date and
3
time of closing of the purchase; provided that the date specified for closing shall
not be less than ten (10) days nor more than thirty (30) days from the date of the notice of
election to exercise. To the extent the Corporation does not initially elect to purchase all of
the Award Shares hereunder in its first written notice of election to exercise, the Corporation
may, within the 120-day period specified herein, elect to exercise its right to purchase any
remaining Award Shares by delivering to the Participant an additional written notice(s) of
election to exercise in the manner provided above; provided, however, that
unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the closing date for all purchases under this
Section 6 shall be on the closing date set forth in the initial notice. On or before
the closing set forth in the notice(s) of election to exercise, the Participant shall deliver to
the Corporation the certificates representing the Award Shares being purchased, duly endorsed
for transfer to the Corporation, together with such additional documents or instruments of
transfer as the Corporation may request, in accordance with such notice. The Corporation shall
thereafter promptly send to the Participant payment for such purchase by check or wire transfer
based on a per share purchase price determined as follows:
(i) Termination of Service for Any Reason Other than Termination for Cause.
If the Participant’s Termination of Service is for any reason other than a Termination
for Cause, including, without limitation, the Participant’s death, Disability,
Termination Without Cause, or voluntary quit, then the per share purchase price of the
Award Shares shall be their Fair Market Value.
(ii) Termination of Service Due to Participant’s Termination for Cause. If
the Participant’s Termination of Service is due to a Termination for Cause, then the per
share price of the Award Shares shall be the Option Price per share paid by the
Participant for such Award Shares, as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends,
recapitalizations or the like.
7. Corporation’s Right of First Refusal.
(a) If at any time the Participant proposes to Transfer (as defined in Section 7(g)
below) any Award Shares (including, without limitation, any securities acquired upon conversion
thereof or by way of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or the like), then the
Participant shall promptly give the Corporation advance written notice of the Participant’s
intention to make the Transfer (the “Transfer Notice”). The Transfer Notice shall
include: (i) a description of the Award Shares to be transferred (the “Offered Shares”),
(ii) the name(s) and address(es) of the prospective transferee(s), (iii) the consideration, and
(iv) the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed Transfer is to be made. The
Transfer Notice shall certify that the Participant has received a bona fide firm offer from the
prospective transferee(s) and in good faith believes a binding agreement for the Transfer is
obtainable on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Transfer Notice shall also
include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement
relating to the proposed Transfer. In the event that the transfer is being made pursuant to the
provisions of Section 7(e), the Transfer Notice shall state under which specific
subsection the Transfer is being made.
(b) The Corporation shall have the right, but not the obligation, for a period of thirty
(30) days from receipt by the Corporation of the Transfer Notice to elect to purchase the
Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as
described in the Transfer Notice. The Corporation may exercise such purchase option and
purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares by notifying the Participant in writing before
expiration of such thirty (30) day period as to the number of such Offered Shares that the
Corporation wishes to purchase. If the Corporation gives the Participant notice that it desires
to purchase such shares, then payment for the Offered Shares shall be by check or wire transfer,
against delivery of the Offered Shares to be purchased at a place agreed upon between the
parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor, which shall be no later than sixty
(60) days after receipt by the Corporation of the Transfer Notice, unless the
4
Transfer Notice
contemplated a later closing with the prospective third-party transferee(s) or unless the value
of the purchase price has not yet been established pursuant to Section 7(c).
(c) Should the purchase price specified in the Transfer Notice be payable in property other
than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Corporation shall have the right to pay the purchase
price in the form of cash equal in amount to the fair market value of such property. If the
Participant and the Corporation cannot agree on such cash value within thirty (30) days after
receipt by the Corporation of the Transfer Notice, the valuation shall be made by an appraiser
of recognized standing in the United States selected by the Participant and the Corporation or,
if they cannot agree on an appraiser within forty (40) days after receipt by the Corporation of
the Transfer Notice, each shall select an appraiser of recognized standing in the United States
and those appraisers shall designate a third appraiser of recognized standing in the United
States, whose appraisal shall be determinative of such value. The cost of such appraisal shall
be shared equally by the Participant and the Corporation. If the time for the closing of the
Corporation’s purchase has expired but the determination of the value of the purchase price
offered by the prospective transferee(s) has not been finalized, then such closing shall be held
on or prior to the tenth business day after such valuation shall have been made pursuant to
this Section 7(c).
(d) To the extent that the Corporation has not exercised its right to purchase the Offered
Shares within the time periods specified in Section 7(b), the Participant shall have a
period of thirty (30) days from the expiration of such right in which to sell the Offered
Shares, upon terms and conditions (including the purchase price) no more favorable than those
specified in the Transfer Notice, to the third-party transferee(s) identified in the Transfer
Notice. The third-party transferee(s) shall acquire the Offered Shares subject to the
Corporation’s continued right of first refusal under this Agreement and must agree in writing to
be bound with respect thereto. In the event the Participant does not consummate the sale or
disposition of the Offered Shares within the thirty (30) day period from the expiration of this
right, the Corporation’s first refusal right shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent
disposition of the Offered Shares by the Participant until such right lapses in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement. Furthermore, the exercise or non-exercise of the right of the
Corporation under this Section 7 to purchase the Offered Shares from the Participant
shall not adversely affect its right to make subsequent purchases from the Participant of
Offered Shares.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 7(a) and 7(b) of this
Agreement, the first refusal right of the Corporation shall not apply to: (i) the Transfer of
Award Shares to any spouse or member of the Participant’s immediate family, or to a custodian,
trustee (including a trustee of a voting trust), executor, or other fiduciary for the account of
the Participant’s spouse or members of the Participant’s immediate family, or to a trust for the
Participant’s own self, or a charitable remainder trust, or (ii) any sale of Award Shares to the
public pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act; provided, however, that in the
event of any Transfer made pursuant to one of the exemptions provided by clause (e)(i): (A) the
Participant shall inform the Corporation in writing of such Transfer prior to effecting it, and
(B) each such transferee or assignee, prior to the completion of the Transfer, shall have
executed documents assuming the obligations of the Participant under this Agreement with respect
to the transferred Award Shares in a form approved by the Corporation. Such transferred Award
Shares shall remain subject to the provisions of this Section 7, and such pledgee,
transferee or donee shall be treated as the “Participant” for purposes of this Agreement.
(f) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Participant will not sell, assign,
transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber or dispose of in any way, all of any part of
or any interest in the Award Shares. Any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or
other encumbrance or disposition of Award Shares not made in conformance with this Agreement
shall be null and void, shall not be recorded on the books of the Corporation and shall not be
recognized by the Corporation.
5
(g) For purposes of this Section 7, the term “Transfer” shall include any
sale, assignment, encumbrance, hypothecation, pledge, conveyance in trust, gift, transfer by
bequest, devise or descent, or other transfer or disposition of any kind, including, but not
limited to, transfers pursuant to divorce or legal separation, transfers to receivers, levying
creditors, trustees or receivers in bankruptcy proceedings or general assignees for the benefit
of creditors, whether voluntary, involuntarily or by operation of law, directly or indirectly,
of any of the Award Shares.
(h) All certificates representing the Award Shares, in addition to other legends that may
be required by applicable law or pursuant to agreement of the Corporation’s stockholders, shall
bear the following legend:
“THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN NON-QUALIFIED
STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE STOCKHOLDER AND THE CORPORATION.
COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
CORPORATION.” |
(i) The Corporation’s first refusal right hereunder shall terminate and be of no further
force or effect upon the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a bona fide, firmly underwritten
public offering of shares of the Corporation’s common stock at a public offering price which is
not less than $3.15 per share (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations,
subdivisions, recapitalizations or the like) and greater than $30,000,000.00 in the aggregate,
or (ii) the consummation of a Liquidation Event, as that term is defined in the Corporation’s
Certificate of Incorporation (as amended from time to time).
8. Change of Control. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, in the event of a Change of Control, the Corporation’s option to repurchase Award
Shares under Section 6 shall terminate simultaneously with the consummation of such
Change of Control if the Participant is actively employed with the Corporation on the date of
such Change of Control, but in such event the Award Shares held by the Participant shall remain
subject to the Corporation’s right of first refusal under Section 7 hereof, and may be
subject to restrictions on transferability to the extent required by applicable law.
9. Market Stand-Off. In connection with any underwritten public offering by the
Corporation of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under
the Act, including the Corporation’s initial public offering, the Participant or any person to
whom the Participant has directly or indirectly transferred any Award Shares under this
Agreement (a “Transferee”) shall not directly or indirectly sell, make any short sale
of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the
purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or
transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Award
Shares acquired under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Corporation or its
underwriters. Such restriction (the “Market Stand-Off”) shall be in effect for such
period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested
by the Corporation or such underwriters. In no event, however, shall such period exceed 180
days. The Market Stand-Off shall in any event terminate two years after the date of the
Corporation’s initial public offering. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, a
spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar
transaction affecting the Corporation’s outstanding securities without receipt of consideration,
any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of such transaction
distributed with respect to any Award Shares subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such
shares thereby become convertible, shall immediately be subject to the Market Stand-Off. In
order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Corporation may impose stop-transfer instructions
with respect to the Award Shares acquired under
6
this Agreement until the end of the applicable stand-off period. The Corporation’s
underwriters shall be beneficiaries of the agreement set forth in this Section 9. This
Section 9 shall not apply to Award Shares registered in the public offering under the
Act, and the Participant or a Transferee shall be subject to this Section 9 only if the
directors and officers of the Corporation are subject to similar arrangements.
10. Notices. Any notice given hereunder must be in writing and shall be deemed
given when either personally delivered or placed in the United States mail by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the parties to whom such
notice is being given at the following addresses:

11. Failure to Close; Remedies. In the event that the Corporation or the
Participant shall fail or refuse for any reason whatsoever to close the sale or repurchase of
Award Shares as the Corporation or the Participant is obligated by this Agreement, then the
other party to the sale or repurchase (the “non-defaulting party”) shall have the right to
exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:
(a) The non-defaulting party shall have the right to recover damages from the defaulting
party for any loss or damage, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, sustained by the
non-defaulting party as a result of such default.
(b) The non-defaulting party shall have the right to specifically enforce this Agreement by
seeking an injunction prohibiting the defaulting party from violating the terms of this
Agreement and requiring the defaulting party to purchase or sell the Award Shares, as the case
may be.
The rights and remedies of the non-defaulting party under this Section 11 are cumulative
and not alternative and shall be in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available
to the non-defaulting party at law or in equity.
12. Gifts. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted
so as to authorize or permit the Participant to transfer the Option by gift to any person or
entity.
13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the 2007 Plan contain the entire
understanding and agreement by and between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter
hereof and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements or instruments are merged
herein. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same is
in writing and signed by all parties hereto. No waiver by any party of any breach by the other
of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other breaches thereof
or the waiver of any such or other provision of this Agreement. Subject to the restrictions on
assignment and transfer set forth hereinabove, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto, their estates, personal representatives, successors and
assigns.
14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is declared invalid or
unenforceable as a matter of law, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect or impair
the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement or the remainder of
this Agreement as a whole.
7
15. Applicable Law. The validity, construction, interpretation or performance of
this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware.
16. Construction. Section headings and subheadings have been inserted herein for
convenience only and shall not be deemed to have any legal effect whatever in the interpretation
of this Agreement. As used herein, the singular shall include the plural, and the plural and
singular. The word “any” means one or more or all, and the conjunction “or” includes both the
conjunctive and disjunctive.
17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one
and the same instrument.
18. No Rights as a Stockholder Until Exercise. Under the 2007 Plan, neither the
Participant nor, if applicable, his or her personal representative, shall be nor have any rights
or privileges of a stockholder of the Corporation with respect to any shares of the
Corporation’s Common Stock which may be acquired upon the exercise of the Option, in whole or in
part, prior to the date upon which the Option is actually exercised for such shares in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4 hereof and the certificates representing
such shares are issued.
19. Tax Treatment. The Option is not deemed to be an Incentive Stock
Option and therefore does not qualify for special tax treatment under Section 422 of the Code.
8
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation and Participant have caused the execution of this
Agreement as of the date hereof, each intending to be legally bound hereby.
