This Option is made and granted as a stand-alone award and is not granted under or pursuant to the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the terms, conditions and definitions set forth in the Plan shall apply to the Option as though the Option had been granted under the Plan (including but not limited to the adjustment provision contained in Section 8 of the Plan) as an “Option,” as such term is used in the Plan, and the Option shall be subject to such terms, conditions and definitions, which are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference. For the avoidance of doubt, the Option shall not be counted for purposes of calculating the aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued or transferred pursuant to Awards under the Plan. You hereby acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Plan and agree to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.

No portion of the Option which has not become vested and exercisable at the date of your termination of employment or other service with the Company shall thereafter become vested and exercisable (and any such unvested portion shall thereupon be immediately forfeited), except as may be otherwise provided by the Board or Committee, as applicable, or as set forth in a written agreement between the Company and you. This Option shall expire at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date or, if earlier, the earliest of the dates specified in whichever of the following applies: |

Exercise of Option. Subject to Section 3, this Option will vest and become exercisable as to 25% of the Optioned Shares on the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date and as to 1/48th of the Optioned Shares on the same day of each of the 36 consecutive months thereafter, provided that each Optioned Share which would be fractionally vested shall be cumulated and shall vest on the first vesting date upon which the whole Optioned Share has cumulated. However, during any period that this Option remains outstanding after your employment or other service with the Company ends, you may exercise it only to the extent it was exercisable immediately prior to the end of your employment or other service. The procedure for exercising this Option is described in Section 7.1(e) of the Plan (Method of Exercise). |
