 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Stock Option Agreement
(this “Agreement”) shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan. 
 2. Option. 

(a) Grant. This Option entitles you to purchase up to the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on the first page of this Agreement
at an exercise price per share (the “Exercise Price”) as set forth on the first page of this Agreement. Your Option shall expire at the close of business on the expiration date set forth on the first page of this Agreement (the
“Expiration Date”), subject to earlier expiration as provided in Section 3 below. Your Option is not intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

 (b) Payment of Option Price. Subject to Section 3 below, your Option may be exercised in whole or in part
upon payment of an amount (the “Option Price”) equal to the product of (i) the Exercise Price multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock to be acquired, unless otherwise determined by the
Committee. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination of the following, at your election: (A) cash or check; (B) at the discretion of the Committee on a case by case basis, by surrender of other shares
of Common Stock of the Company that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares as to which this Option is being exercised; or (C) at the discretion of the Committee on a case
by case basis, by a cashless exercise or promissory note program approved by the Committee. 
 3. Vesting; Expiration; Exercisability.

 (a) Vesting. Your Option may be exercised only to the extent it has become vested. Subject to your continued employment or
engagement by the Company or another member of the Company Group (as defined on Exhibit B attached hereto) on each applicable vesting date, and except as may otherwise be provided herein or in the Plan, twenty percent (20%) of the Option
shall become vested on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “First Vesting Date”), and the remaining eighty percent (80%) shall become vested ratably on each of the subsequent four anniversaries following the First
Vesting Date. The Option shall not vest at any time after the termination of your employment or engagement with the Company. 
 (b) Change
in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, and irrespective of whether outstanding Options are being assumed, substituted, exchanged or terminated in connection with the transaction,
the vesting of your Option shall accelerate such that all unvested Options shall become exercisable and vested to the extent not then otherwise vested. The portion of your Option that has not yet become vested shall become vested as provided herein
due to a Change in Control if and only if, as of the date of the consummation of such Change in Control, you remain employed or engaged by the Company or another member of the Company Group from the Commencement Date through and including
such Change in Control. In any event, any portion of your Option which has not been exercised prior to or in connection with the Change in Control shall expire and be forfeited for no consideration, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. 

(c) Expiration of Option. In no event shall any part of your Option be exercisable after the Expiration Date. 

  
 2 













 (d) Early Expiration upon Termination of Employment. Any portion of your Option that
was not vested and exercisable as of the date on which your employment or service with the Company or another member of the Company Group terminates shall expire and be forfeited on such date. Any portion of your Option that was vested and
exercisable as of such termination date shall also expire and be forfeited as of such termination date, provided, however, (i) if such termination was by reason of Participant’s death or Disability (as defined in the Plan), then the
portion of your Option that was vested and exercisable as of such termination date shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (w) one hundred twenty (120) days following the effective date of such termination and (x) the expiry of
the Option on the Expiration Date; and (ii) if such termination was by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Plan), and the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company a general release of claims against the Company and the
Company Group, in form and substance acceptable to the Committee, and such release has become irrevocable, then the portion of your Option that was vested and exercisable as of such termination date shall remain exercisable until the earlier of
(y) sixty (60) days following the effective date of such termination and (z) the expiry of the Option on the Expiration Date; 

(e) Procedure for Exercise. You may exercise all or any portion of your Option, to the extent it has vested and is exercisable, at any
time and from time to time prior to its expiration, by delivering to the Company’s Corporate Secretary an Exercise Notice in the form attached to this Option, and a duly executed joinder, in form and content acceptable to the Company, to all or
portions of any stockholders, financing, or other agreement as determined by the Committee, together with payment of the Option Price in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(b) above. As a condition to any exercise
of your Option, you shall make all customary investment representations which the Company requires. The Company is not obligated, and will have no liability for failure, to issue or deliver any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Option
unless such issuance or delivery would comply with applicable laws, with such compliance determined by the Company in consultation with its legal counsel. As a condition to the exercise of your Option, and as further set forth in Section 7 of
this Agreement, you agree to make adequate provision, acceptable to the Company, for federal, state, local and non-U.S. income an employment tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the grant,
vesting or exercise of this Option, or disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of this Option, whether by withholding, direct payment to the Company, or otherwise. Further, if you (or any other person) is exercising this Option
in connection with or following the termination of your employment or engagement with the Company or another member of the Company Group, as a condition to exercise of your Option and the issuance of shares of Common Stock hereunder, you shall
execute and deliver to the Company a general release of claims with respect to the termination of your employment or engagement with the Company or another member of the Company Group in form and substance provided to you by the Company at that
time. 
 4. Conformity with Plan. Your Option is intended to conform in all respects with, and is subject to all applicable provisions
of, the Plan (which is incorporated herein by reference). Inconsistencies between this Option and the Plan shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Plan. By executing and returning the enclosed copy of this Option, you acknowledge your
receipt of this Option and the Plan and agree to be bound by all of the terms of this Option and the Plan. 
 5. Rights of
Participants. Nothing in this Option shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any member of the Company Group to terminate your employment or engagement at any time (with or without Cause), nor confer upon you any
right to continue to be employed or engaged by the Company or another member of the Company Group for any period of time or to continue your present (or any other) rate of compensation or benefits. In the event of any termination of your employment
or engagement with the Company or another member of the Company Group (including any termination of your employment or engagement by the Company or another member of the Company Group without Cause), any portion of your Option that was not
previously vested and exercisable shall expire and be forfeited, except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan. Nothing in this Option shall confer upon you any right to be selected again as a participant under the Plan, and nothing in the Plan
or this Option shall provide for any adjustment to the number of shares of 

  
 3 













 
Common Stock subject to your Option upon the occurrence of subsequent events, except as provided in Section 7 or the Plan. Also, to the extent applicable, the Exercise Price has been set in
good faith compliance with the applicable guidance issued by the IRS under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. However, there is no guarantee that the IRS will agree with the valuation, and by signing below, you agree
and acknowledge that the Company shall not be held liable for any applicable costs, taxes or penalties associated with this Option if, in fact, the IRS were to determine that this Option constitutes deferred compensation under Section 409A of
the Code. You should consult with your own tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of such a determination by the IRS. 
 6.
Withholding of Taxes. The Company shall be entitled, if necessary or desirable, to deduct and withhold from you, from any amounts due and payable by the Company to you (or secure payment from you in lieu of withholding), the amount of any
withholding or other tax due in connection with the issuance, vesting, ownership, modification, adjustment, disposition, exercise or otherwise with respect to your Option or the securities issuable under your Option, and the Company may defer the
issuance of shares of Common Stock under your Option unless you make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for your payment of such amounts or indemnification of the Company with respect to such matters. In the event that the Company does not
make such deductions or withholdings, you shall indemnify the Company for and remain responsible for any amounts paid or payable by the Company with respect to any such taxes, together with any interest, penalties and additions to tax and any
related expenses thereto. 
 7. Adjustments. In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend or stock split, or
combination or other change in the shares of Common Stock, the Committee shall make such adjustments in the number and type of securities authorized by the Plan, the number and type of securities covered by your Option and the Exercise Price
specified herein as the Committee may determine to be appropriate and equitable.

(a) Acknowledgements. Capitalized terms used in this Exhibit B and not elsewhere defined in the Stock Option Agreement to which
this Exhibit B is attached (the “Agreement”) shall have the meanings set forth in paragraph (j) of this Exhibit B. This Exhibit B is intended to apply in addition to and not in lieu of any similar covenant
or term in the Participant’s employment or services agreement, offer letter or similar document or other arrangement with the Company or any of its direct or indirect Affiliates or subsidiaries (the Company and its direct or indirect Affiliates
and subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein, the “Company Group”), and by signing the Agreement the Participant acknowledges and agrees to same. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant has been advised by the
Company that the restrictions and covenants contained in this Exhibit B, and the Participant’s agreement to such restrictions and covenants, constitute a material inducement to the Company to execute the Agreement, to provide the
Participant with the Option pursuant to the Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached and to issue the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise thereof. The Participant acknowledges that participation in the Plan and eligibility for the Option and
the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise thereof constitute sufficient consideration for the promises and agreements made by the Participant hereunder, which shall survive the termination of the Participant’s employment or service with the
Company Group. The Participant acknowledges that: (i) as a result of the Participant’s employment or service with the Company Group, the Participant has obtained and will continue to obtain Confidential Information (as defined below); (ii)
the Confidential Information, and each element or aspect thereof, has been developed and created by the Company Group at substantial time and expense; (iii) the Confidential Information constitutes valuable proprietary assets of the Company
Group, the Company Group’s reservation of rights and control of Confidential Information is of significant competitive importance and commercial value to the Company Group, and the Company Group will suffer substantial damage and irreparable
harm which will be difficult to compute if, during the period of employment or service or thereafter, the Participant discloses or improperly uses any such Confidential Information in violation of the provisions of this Exhibit B;
(iv) the nature of the Company Group’s business is such that it is highly competitive and could be conducted anywhere in the world and is not limited to any particular geographic scope or region(s); (v) the Company Group will suffer
substantial damage and irreparable harm which will be difficult to compute if, during the period of employment or service or thereafter, the Participant should solicit or interfere with any individual employed by or providing services to any of the
Company Group or their investment opportunities, acquisition targets, financing sources, suppliers or customers in violation of this Exhibit B; (vi) the provisions of this Exhibit B are reasonable and necessary for the protection
of the legitimate business interests of the Company Group; (vii) the provisions of this Exhibit B will not preclude the Participant from other gainful employment or service following the termination of his or her services to the Company
Group; (viii) the Confidential Information constitutes a protectable business interest of the Company Group; (ix) that Confidential Information is vital, sensitive, confidential and proprietary to the Company Group; and (x) a breach
by the Participant of this Exhibit B would result in losses to the Company Group for which remedies at law are inadequate, and would result in the expenditure of additional financial costs, loss of business advantage and opportunities,
potential liability under confidentiality obligations with third parties and potential civil and criminal penalties. 
 (b) Obligation to
Maintain Confidentiality. The Participant acknowledges that the information, observations and data obtained by the Participant during the course of the Participant’s service with the Company Group concerning the business and affairs of the
Company Group, including, but not limited to, information concerning acquisition opportunities in or reasonably related to the business of the Company Group (“Confidential Information”), of which the Participant becomes aware during
the Participant’s service with the Company Group are the property of the Company Group.

Therefore, the Participant agrees not to disclose to any unauthorized Person or use for Participant’s own account any Confidential Information without the Board’s written consent,

the Participant prior to the Participant’s commencement of service with the Company Group (other than Confidential Information disclosed to the Participant in confidence in connection with the Participant’s employment with Company or
another member of the Company Group), or (iii) is required to be disclosed pursuant to any applicable law or court order. The Participant agrees to deliver to the Company upon the Participant’s termination of service with the Company
Group, or at any other time the Company may request in writing, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports and other documents (and copies thereof) relating to the business of the Company Group (including, without limitation, all acquisition
prospects, lists and contact information) or containing Confidential Information which he may then possess or have under his control. 
 (c)
Third Party Information. The Participant understands that the Company Group will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty on the part of the Company
Group to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. The Participant will hold Third Party Information in strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than personnel, consultants,
attorneys, accountants and other advisors of the Company Group who need to know such information in connection with their work for the Company Group) or use such Third Party Information, except to the extent that (i) such Third Party
Information shall have become generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Participant’s acts or omissions in breach of this Agreement, (ii) such Third Party Information is required to be disclosed
pursuant to any applicable law or court order, or (iii) the disclosure of such Third Party Information is expressly authorized by the Board in writing. 

(d) Inventions and Patents. The Participant hereby assigns to the Company Group all right, title and interest to all patents and patent
applications, all inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports and all similar or related information (in each case whether or not patentable), all copyrights and copyrightable works, all trade
secrets, confidential information and know-how, and all other intellectual property rights that both (i) are or were conceived, reduced to practice, developed or made by the Participant while employed by,
or in service to, the Company Group and (ii) that (A) relate to the actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services of the Company Group, or (B) are or were conceived, reduced to
practice, developed or made using any of the equipment, supplies, facilities, assets or resources of the Company Group (including, but not limited to, any intellectual property rights) (“Work Product”). The Participant shall
promptly disclose such Work Product to the Company Group and perform all actions reasonably requested by the Company Group to establish and confirm the Company Group’s ownership thereof (including, without limitation, assignments, consents,
powers of attorney, applications and other instruments). 
 (e) Noncompetition, Nonsolicitation and Nondisparagement. The Participant
acknowledges that in the course of the Participant’s service with Company Group the Participant will become familiar with trade secrets and other confidential information concerning the Company Group and that the Participant’s services

person or entity to make, authorize, ratify or publish, any statements that in any way defame, criticize, malign, impugn, reflect negatively on, or disparage any of member of the Company Group or investors, or their respective employees, directors,
officers or managers, or that place any such persons or entities in a negative light in any manner whatsoever.     



(f) Reporting Exception. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits the Participant from reporting possible violations of federal law or
regulation to any governmental agency or entity, or making other disclosures, that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation (or similar state laws). The Participant will not need the prior authorization of the
Committee to make any such reports or disclosures and the Participant will not be required to notify the Company that the Participant has made such reports or disclosures, provided, that nothing shall waive any attorney client or similar privilege
of the Company Group. Nothing in this Agreement in any way prohibits or is intended to restrict or impede the Participant from exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement. The Participant will not be held
criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for any disclosure of a trade secret that is made: (A) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and
solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (B) in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. If the Participant files a lawsuit for retaliation by any of
the Company Group for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Participant may disclose the Company Group’s trade secrets to the Participant’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the Participant
(x) files any document containing the trade secret under seal and (y) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

 (g) Enforcement and Acknowledgments. 

 

	 	(i)	 If, at the time of enforcement of the provisions of this Exhibit B, a court or an arbitrator shall hold
that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated therein are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated
duration, scope or area and that the court or arbitrator shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law. Because the Participant’s services are unique and because the
Participant has access to Confidential Information, the parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Exhibit B. Therefore, in the event a breach or threatened breach of this
Agreement, the Company Group and its successors or permitted assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in
order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security).

its industry throughout the world, and (C) as part of his or her responsibilities, the Participant may be traveling around the world in furtherance of the Company Group’s business and relationships. The Participant agrees and acknowledges
that the potential harm to the Company Group of the non-enforcement of this Exhibit B outweighs any potential harm to the Participant of their enforcement by injunction or otherwise. The Participant
acknowledges that he or she has carefully read this Agreement and has given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon the Participant by this Agreement (including, but not limited to, this Exhibit B), and is in full accord
as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of Confidential Information. The Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject matter, time
period and geographical area.

breach by the Participant of any covenant set forth in this Agreement and/or this Exhibit B, upon written notice from the Company, (i) the Option (including, any Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise thereof (whether held by

 (i) Relief. The Participant further acknowledges that the other members of the
Company Group are third party beneficiaries of the Agreement and this Exhibit B and will be irreparably harmed if such covenants are not specifically enforced. Accordingly, the Participant agrees that in addition to any other relief to which

Participant from an actual or threatened breach of any such covenants. Participant also acknowledges that the remedies afforded pursuant to this paragraph (i) are not exclusive, nor shall they preclude any member of the Company Group from
seeking or receiving any other relief, including without limitation, any form of monetary or other equitable relief. Upon the reasonable request by any member of the Company Group, the Participant shall provide reasonable assurances and evidence of
compliance with the terms of this Agreement and this Exhibit B. In the event that injunctive relief or specific enforcement of the Participant’s obligations hereunder is required, the Participant will (i) indemnify and hold the
Company Group harmless with respect to any damages (whether actual or otherwise), actions, losses, costs and liabilities arising from the Participant’s breach of the Participant’s obligations under the Agreement or this Exhibit B,
including providing an accounting (and provide such information as is reasonably necessary for the Company to create or confirm such accounting) and disgorging any profits, gains or other windfalls resulting directly or indirectly from such breach,
and (ii) reimburse or pay on demand the Company Group, as applicable, for fees and costs incurred by them (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) in obtaining such injunctive relief or specific enforcement
