(a) The expiration date set forth in the Grant Notice; provided that such expiration date shall not be
later than the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date;
(b) Except as the Administrator may otherwise approve, the ninetieth (90th) day following the Cessation Date by

(c) Except as the Administrator may otherwise approve, immediately upon the Cessation Date by reason of Holder’s
Termination of Service by a Company Group Member for Cause; and
(d) The expiration of twelve (12) months from the Cessation Date by reason of Xxxxxx’s Termination of Service due to death or Disability.
Section 3.4 Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:
(a) The Company Group has the authority to deduct or withhold, or require Holder to remit to the applicable Company
Group Member, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including the employee portion of any FICA obligation) required by Applicable Law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising
pursuant to this Agreement. The Company Group may withhold or Holder may make such payment in one or more of the forms specified below:
(i) by cash or check made payable to the Company Group Member with respect to which the withholding obligation
arises;
(ii) by the deduction of such amount from other compensation payable to Holder;
(iii) with respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the exercise of the Option, with the consent of
the Administrator, by requesting that the Company Group withhold a net number of vested Shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise of the Option having a then current Fair Market Value not exceeding the amount necessary to satisfy the withholding
obligation of the Company Group based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in Holder’s applicable jurisdictions for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such taxable income;
(iv) with respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the
exercise of the Option, with the consent of the Administrator, by tendering to the Company vested Shares held for such period of time as may be required by the Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences and having a then
current Fair Market Value not exceeding the amount necessary to satisfy the withholding obligation of the Company Group based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in Holder’s applicable jurisdictions for federal, state, local and foreign
income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such taxable income;
A-3
(v) with respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the exercise of the Option, through the delivery
of a notice that Holder has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to Shares then issuable to Holder pursuant to the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net
proceeds of the sale to the Company Group Member with respect to which the withholding obligation arises in satisfaction of such withholding taxes; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the applicable Company Group Member at such
time as may be required by the Administrator, but in any event not later than the settlement of such sale; or
(vi) in any combination of the foregoing.
(b) With respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the Option, in the event Holder fails to provide
timely payment of all sums required pursuant to Section 3.4(a), the Company shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to treat such failure as an election by Holder to satisfy all or any portion of Holder’s required payment
obligation pursuant to Section 3.4(a)(ii) or Section 3.4(a)(iii) above, or any combination of the foregoing as the Company may determine to be appropriate. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any certificate representing
Shares issuable with respect to the exercise of the Option to, or to cause any such Shares to be held in book-entry form by, Holder or his or her legal representative unless and until Holder or his or her legal representative shall have paid or
otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state, local and foreign taxes applicable with respect to the taxable income of Holder resulting from the exercise of the Option or any other taxable event related to the Option.
(c) In the event any tax withholding obligation arising in connection with the Option will be satisfied under Section
3.4(a)(iii), then the Company may elect to instruct any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell on Holder’s behalf a whole number of Shares from those Shares then issuable upon the exercise of the Option
as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the tax withholding obligation and to remit the proceeds of such sale to the Company Group Member with respect to which the withholding obligation arises.
Xxxxxx’s acceptance of this Option constitutes Holder’s instruction and authorization to the Company and such brokerage firm to complete the transactions described in this Section 3.4(c), including the transactions described in the previous
sentence, as applicable. The Company may refuse to issue any Shares to Holder until the foregoing tax withholding obligations are satisfied, provided that no payment shall be delayed under this Section 3.4(c) if such delay will result in a
violation of Section 409A.
(d) Xxxxxx is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the Option, regardless of any
action any Company Group Member takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Option. No Company Group Member makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in
connection with the awarding, vesting or exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of Shares. The Company Group does not commit and is under no obligation to structure the Option to reduce or eliminate Xxxxxx’s tax liability.
ARTICLE IV.

for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.

Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all Applicable Law, including, without limitation, the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and any and all regulations and rules promulgated thereunder by the
Securities and Exchange Commission and state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Option is granted and may be exercised, only in such a manner as to conform to
Applicable Law. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to Applicable Law.
Section 5.9 Amendment, Suspension and Termination. To the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement

Plan or this Agreement, if Holder is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Option, the Grant Notice and this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of
the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent
necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
A-7
Section 5.12 Not a Contract of Employment. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon
Holder any right to continue to serve as an employee or other service provider of any Company Group Member or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company Group, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or
terminate the services of Holder at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between a Company Group Member and Holder.
Section 5.13 Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and
this Agreement (including any exhibit hereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Holder with respect to the subject matter hereof, including
in any relevant employment or similar agreement or offer letter between Holder and a Company Group Member or any exhibit thereto.
Section 5.14 Section 409A. This Option is not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred
compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A. However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, if at any time the Administrator determines that this Option (or any portion thereof) may be subject to
Section 409A, the Administrator shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Holder or any other Person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement,
or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate for this Option either to be exempt from the
application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
Section 5.15 Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision of the Grant Notice or this Agreement
is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of the Grant Notice or this Agreement.
Section 5.16 Limitation on Holder’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests
other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself,
has any assets. Holder shall have only the right to receive Shares as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the Option, as and when exercised pursuant to the terms hereof.
Section 5.17 Counterparts. The Grant Notice may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by
way of any electronic signature, subject to Applicable Law, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
Section 5.18 Broker-Assisted Sales. In the event of any broker-assisted sale of Shares in connection
with the payment of withholding taxes as provided in Section 3.4(a)(v) or Section 3.4(c) or the payment of the Exercise Price as provided in Section 4.4(c): (a) any Shares to be sold through a broker-assisted sale will be
sold on the day the tax withholding obligation or exercise of the Option, as applicable, occurs or arises, or as soon thereafter as practicable; (b) such Shares may be sold as part of a block trade with other Holders in the Plan in which all
Holders receive an average price; (c) Holder will be responsible for all broker’s fees and other costs of sale, and Xxxxxx agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale; (d)
to the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed the applicable tax withholding obligation or Exercise Price, the Company agrees to pay such excess in cash to Holder as soon as reasonably practicable; (e) Holder acknowledges that the Company or its
designee is under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price, and that the proceeds of any such sale may not be sufficient to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligation or Exercise Price; and (f) in the event the proceeds
of such sale are insufficient to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligation, Xxxxxx agrees to pay immediately upon demand to the Company Group Member with respect to which the withholding obligation arises an amount in cash sufficient to
satisfy any remaining portion of the applicable Company Group Member’s withholding obligation.
A-8
Section 5.19 Incentive Stock Options. Holder acknowledges that to the extent the aggregate Fair Market
Value of Shares (determined as of the time the option with respect to the Shares is granted) with respect to which Incentive Stock Options, including this Option (if applicable), are exercisable for the first time by Holder during any calendar year
exceeds $100,000 or if for any other reason such Incentive Stock Options do not qualify or cease to qualify for treatment as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code, such Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified
Stock Options. Holder further acknowledges that the rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking the Option and other stock options into account in the order in which they were granted, as determined under Section 422(d) of
the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Xxxxxx also acknowledges that an Incentive Stock Option exercised more than three (3) months after Holder’s Termination of Service, other than by reason of death or disability, will be taxed as a
Non-Qualified Stock Option.
Section 5.20 Notification of Disposition. If this Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option,
Holder shall give prompt written notice to the Company of any disposition or other transfer of any Shares acquired under this Agreement if such disposition or transfer is made (a) within two (2) years from the Grant Date or (b) within one (1) year
after the transfer of such Shares to Holder. Such notice shall specify the date of such disposition or other transfer and the amount realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by Holder in such
disposition or other transfer.
