 DIRECTORS’ STOCK OPTION GRANT 

Terms and Conditions 
  

	1.	Restrictions on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised (i) unless such exercise is in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and all applicable state
securities laws as they are in effect on the date of exercise, and the requirements of any stock exchange or national market system on which the Company’s Common Stock may be listed at the time of exercise, and (ii) until the Plan, or any
required increase in the number of Shares authorized under the Plan, is approved by the Stockholders of the Company. Notwithstanding anything else in this Grant or the Plan, this Option shall expire on the Expiration Date set forth on the first page
of this Grant and must be exercised, if at all, on or before the Expiration Date. In addition, no part of this Option will become exercisable prior to six (6) months following the Date of Grant. 


 

	2.	Termination of Option. Except as provided below in this Section, this Option shall terminate and may not be exercised if Optionee ceases to be a member of the Board of the Company (a “Board Member”).
The Committee shall have discretion to determine whether Optionee has ceased to serve as a Board Member and the effective date on which such service terminated (the “Termination Date”). 


a) Termination of Status as a Director. If an Optionee ceases to serve as a Board Member, he or she may, but only within three
(3) months after the date he or she ceases to be a Board Member of the Company, exercise his or her Option to the extent that he or she was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may
the Option be exercised after the Expiration Date. To the extent that Optionee is not entitled to exercise an Option at the date of such termination, or does not exercise such Option (which he or she is entitled to exercise) within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 
 b) Disability of Board Member. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(a)
above, in the event Optionee is unable to continue his or her service as a Board Member with the Company as a result of his or her total and permanent disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”)), Optionee may, within six (6) months from the date of such termination, exercise his or her Option to the extent such Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in no event may the Option be exercised after the Expiration Date. To the extent that Optionee is not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if Optionee does not exercise such Option (which he is entitled to exercise) within
the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 
 c) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of Optionee: 

(i) If Optionee dies during the term of the Option, is a Board Member at the time of death and has been in Continuous Status as
a Director (as defined in the Plan) since the date of grant of the Option, the Option may be exercised at any time within six (6) months following the date of death by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise
the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent the Optionee is entitled to exercise the Option at the time of death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Option be exercised after the Expiration Date. 

(ii) If Optionee dies within three (3) months after the termination of Continuous Status as a Director, the Option may be
exercised at any time within six (6) months following the date of death by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent the Optionee is entitled to
exercise the Option at the date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Option be exercised after the Expiration Date. 








	3.	Manner of Exercise. 

  

	 	a)	Exercise Agreement. This Option shall be exercisable by delivery to the Company of an executed written Directors Stock Option Exercise Agreement (the “Exercise Agreement”) in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A, or in such other form as may be approved by the Committee, which shall set forth Optionee’s election to exercise some or all of the Option, the number of Shares being purchased, any restrictions imposed on the Shares and such other
representations and agreements regarding Optionee’s investment intent and access to information as may be required by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws. 


 

	 	b)	Payment. Payment of the exercise price upon exercise of any Option shall be made (i) by cash or check; (ii) provided that a public market for the Company’s stock exists, through a “same day
sale” commitment from the Optionee and a broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an “NASD Dealer”) whereby Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the
Shares so purchased to pay for the exercise price and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the exercise price directly to the Company; (iii) provided that a public market for the Company’s
Stock exists, through a “margin” commitment from the Optionee and an NASD Dealer whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the Shares so purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a
loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the exercise price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the exercise price directly to the Company; (iv) where permitted by applicable law, by tender
of a full recourse promissory note secured by collateral other than the Shares having such terms as may be approved by the Committee and bearing interest at a rate sufficient to avoid imputation of income under Section 484 and 1274 of the Code,
provided that the portion of the exercise price equal to the par value of the Shares must be paid in cash or other legal consideration; or (v) in any combination of the foregoing. 


 

	 	c)	Withholding Taxes. Prior to the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of this Option, the Optionee shall pay in cash any applicable federal, state or local income and employment tax withholding obligations of the
Company, if applicable. 

  

	 	d)	Issuance of Shares. Provided that such notice and payment are in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, the Company shall issue the Shares registered in the name of Optionee or
Optionee’s legal representative. 

  

	4.	Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner other than (i) by will, or (ii) by the laws of descent and distribution, provided however, a U.S. Optionee may transfer a
vested portion of the Option for no consideration to or for the benefit of one or more members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family (including, without limitation, to a trust for the benefit of the Optionee’s Immediate Family) (a
“Transferee”), subject to such limits as the Committee may establish, and such Transferee shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to the Option prior to such transfer. The Optionee will continue to be treated as the
holder of the Option for purposes of the Company’s record keeping and for other purposes deemed appropriate by the Company, including the right to consent to amendments to this Grant Notice; notwithstanding that the economic benefits and
dispositive control has been transferred to the Transferee. Optionee agrees, on behalf of each Transferee, to exercise the Option upon the direction and arrangement of payment by such transferee and further agrees to forward all information provided
by the Company (including but 









	 	
not limited to those required under the U.S. securities laws) with respect to the Option to the Transferee. In the discretion of the Committee, the foregoing right to transfer shall apply to the
right to transfer ancillary rights associated with the Option. The term “Immediate Family” shall mean the Optionee’s spouse, qualified same-sex domestic partner, parents, children, stepchildren, adoptive relationships, sisters,
brothers and grandchildren (and, for this purpose, shall also include the Optionee). Optionee acknowledges that the Optionee will continue to be liable for any taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of the Option. 


 

	5.	Changes in Capitalization; Change of Control. 

  

	 	a)	Adjustment of Shares. In the event that the number of outstanding Shares is changed by a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure
of the Company without consideration, the number of Shares subject to this Option shall be proportionately adjusted, subject to any required action by the Board or stockholders of the Company and compliance with applicable securities laws; provided,
however, that no certificate or scrip representing fractional Shares shall be issued and any resulting fractions shall be ignored. 

  

	 	b)	Change of Control. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a merger in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger with a wholly-owned subsidiary or where there is
no substantial change in the stockholders of the Company and the obligations of the Company under the Plan are assumed by the successor corporation), the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any other transaction described
under Section 424(a) of the Code wherein the stockholders of the Company give up all of their equity interest in the Company (except for the acquisition of all or substantially all of the outstanding shares of the Company), this Option shall
accelerate and become vested in full prior to the consummation of such dissolution, liquidation, merger or sale of assets. 

  

	 	c)	Acceleration Upon Unfriendly Takeover. Notwithstanding anything in Section 5(b) hereof to the contrary, if fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company become
beneficially owned (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission) by a person (as defined in Section 2(2) of the Securities Act and in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) in a transaction or series of
transactions expressly disapproved by the Board, then this Option shall automatically and immediately accelerate and become vested in full. 

  

	6.	Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Grant shall be submitted by Optionee or the Company forthwith to the Board or the committee thereof that administers the Plan, which shall review
such dispute at its next regular meeting. The resolution of such a dispute by the Board or committee shall be final and binding on the Company and on Optionee. 

  

	7.	Optionee Acknowledgments. Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and the prospectus relating to the Plan, represents that Optionee has read and understands the terms and conditions thereof,
and accepts this Option subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Grant. Optionee acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon exercise of this Option or disposition of the Shares and that Optionee should consult a
tax advisor prior to such exercise or disposition. 

  

	8.	Entire Agreement. The Plan, the prospectus relating to the Plan and the Notice and Exercise Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. This Grant, the Plan and the Exercise Agreement constitute the entire
agreement of the parties and supersede all prior undertakings and agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof. 


These terms and conditions apply to grants made on or after May 31, 2015.
