The Option granted to you is effective as of the grant date set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Grant Date”). The Option is granted as a material inducement to you entering into employment with the Corporation (within the meaning of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4)).

2.NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION

The Option is not intended to be an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and will be interpreted accordingly.

3.OPTION PRICE

The exercise price of the option (the “Exercise Price”), as set forth in the Notice of Grant, is 100% of the closing price of a share of the common stock of the Corporation, $.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) as reported by the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”), on the Grant Date.

4.VESTING TERMS

CONFIDENTIAL

The Option will vest in four (4) equal annual installments, commencing on the first anniversary of the Grant Date and continuing to vest on each subsequent anniversary until fully vested on the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to the satisfaction of the Performance-Vesting Terms set forth in subsection (b) below.

(b)    Performance-Vesting Terms. In addition to the Time-Vesting Terms described in subsection (a) above, the Option shall vest and become exercisable only in the event the closing price of a share of the Common Stock reported on Nasdaq (the “closing share price”) during any thirty (30) consecutive trading days concluding on or prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Grant Date reflects an increase of at least thirty percent (30%) over the Corporation’s volume-weighted average closing share price for the thirty (30) consecutive trading days preceding January 13, 2021 (the “Stock Price Performance Hurdle”).

Any determination by the Committee or an Authorized Officer with respect to the foregoing shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all interested parties.

7.TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

CONFIDENTIAL

Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, if your employment by the Corporation terminates for any reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, other than death, Disablement (as defined in Section 9), or discharge for Cause, you may exercise any portion of the option that had vested on or prior to the date of termination at any time prior to ninety (90) days after the date of such termination, but in no event later than the expiration date. The Option shall terminate on the 90th day to the extent that it is unexercised. Subject to Section 10, the portion of the Option that is unvested as of the date of employment termination shall be cancelled on the date of employment termination, regardless of whether such employment termination is voluntary or involuntary.

For purposes of this Section 7, your employment is not deemed terminated if, prior to sixty (60) days after the date of termination from the Corporation or a Subsidiary, you are rehired by the Corporation or a Subsidiary on a basis that would make you eligible for future Corporation stock option grants, nor would your transfer from Corporation to any Subsidiary or from any one Subsidiary to another, or from a Subsidiary to the Corporation be deemed a termination of employment. Further, your employment with any partnership, joint venture or corporation not meeting the requirements of a Subsidiary in which the Corporation or a Subsidiary is a party shall be considered employment for purposes of this provision if either (a) the entity is designated by the Committee as a Subsidiary for purposes of this provision or (b) you are designated as an employee of a Subsidiary for purposes of this provision.

8.DEATH

Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, if you die while employed by the Corporation, the executor of your will or administrator of your estate may exercise the Option, to the extent vested, including any portion that becomes vested pursuant to Section 10, and not previously exercised, at any time prior to 365 days from the date of death or until the expiration date of the Option, if earlier.

Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, if you die prior to ninety (90) days after terminating your employment with the Corporation, the executor of your will or administrator of your estate may exercise the option, to the extent not previously exercised and to the extent the option had vested on or prior to the date of your employment termination (including any portion that becomes vested pursuant to Section 10), at any time prior to 365 days from the date of your employment termination or until the expiration date of the Option, if earlier.

The Option shall terminate on the applicable expiration date described in this Section 8, to the extent that it is unexercised.

including those that vest pursuant to Section 10, and not previously exercised, at any time prior to 365 days from the later of the date of your termination of employment due to your Disablement or the date of determination of your Disablement as described in this Section 9, but in no event later than the expiration date of the Option; provided, however, that while the claim of Disablement is pending, options that were vested at termination of employment may be exercised only during the period set forth in Section 7 hereof. The Option shall terminate on the 365th day from the date of determination of Disablement, to the extent that it is unexercised. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disablement” shall be determined in accordance with the standards and procedures of the then-current Long Term Disability Plan maintained by the Corporation or the Subsidiary that employs you, and in the event you are not a participant in a then-current Long Term Disability Plan maintained by the Corporation or the Subsidiary that employs you, “Disablement” shall have the same meaning as disablement is defined in the Intel Long Term Disability Plan, which is generally a physical condition arising from an illness or injury, which renders an individual incapable of performing work in any occupation, as determined by the Corporation.

10.QUALIFYING TERMINATION

You may exercise any portion of the Option that vests and becomes exercisable in accordance with this paragraph prior to ninety (90) days after the date your employment with the Corporation terminates (or such longer period as provided in Section 8 or 9, as applicable), but in no event later than the expiration date.
