Option Agreement 
 THIS AGREEMENT (this “Option Agreement”), is made effective as of [●] (the
“Grant Date”), by and between Knowlton Development Parent, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the BCBCA (the “Company”), and [●] (the “Optionee”). Capitalized terms
used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings so indicated in the Knowlton Development Parent Inc. Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). 

R E C I T A L S: 

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant the option
provided for herein to the Optionee pursuant to the Plan and the terms set forth herein. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of the Option. The Company hereby grants to the
Optionee the right and option to purchase, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Option Agreement, [●] Shares (the “Option”), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan. The Option shall be
divided into two tranches as follows: (a) one-third (1/3) of the Option shall be subject to time-based vesting criteria and shall be referred to as the “Time Vesting Option,” and (b) two-thirds (2/3) of the Option shall be subject to performance-based vesting criteria and shall be referred to as the “Performance Vesting Option”. At any time, the portion of the
Option that has become vested and exercisable is hereinafter referred to as the “Vested Portion,” and any portion of the Option that is not a Vested Portion is hereinafter referred to as the “Unvested
Portion.” 
 2. Option Price. The purchase price of the Shares subject to the Option shall be US$[●]per Share (the
“Option Price”), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan. 
 3. Vesting of the Time Vesting Option.

 a. General. Subject to Section 3(b) hereof, twenty percent (20%) of the Time Vesting Option shall vest
on each of the first five anniversaries of the Vesting Commencement Date, subject to the Optionee’s Continued Service through each applicable vesting date. The Vesting Commencement Date shall be [●]. 

b. Accelerated Vesting Upon a Sale of the Company. The Time Vesting Option, to the extent not then vested or forfeited, shall
accelerate and become fully vested immediately prior to and contingent upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, subject to the Optionee’s Continued Service on the date of consummation of such Sale of the Company. For the avoidance of
doubt, an IPO is not a Sale of the Company. 












 4. Vesting of the Performance Vesting Option. 

a. Vesting Prior to an IPO. If an IPO has not occurred, the Performance Vesting Option shall vest immediately prior to and contingent
upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, subject to the Optionee’s Continued Service on the date of the consummation of such Sale of the Company and the achievement of the performance goals set forth in Section 4(a)
and Section 4(c) below. Any portion of the Performance Vesting Option that does not vest upon a Sale of the Company shall be immediately forfeited for no consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, no portion of the Performance
Vesting Option shall vest prior to an IPO unless and until a Sale of the Company occurs. 
 i. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance
Vesting Option shall vest only if, upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, the Sponsors have received Proceeds that result in achievement of a MOIC equal to one and one-half (1.5) or greater, subject to
the Optionee’s Continued Service through such Sale of the Company; 
 ii. an additional twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance
Vesting Option shall vest only if, upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, the Sponsors have received Proceeds that result in achievement of a MOIC equal to two (2) or greater, subject to the Optionee’s Continued Service through such
Sale of the Company; 
 iii. an additional twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance Vesting Option shall vest only if, upon the
occurrence of a Sale of the Company, the Sponsors have received Proceeds that result in achievement of a MOIC equal to two and one-half (2.5) or greater, subject to the Optionee’s Continued Service
through such Sale of the Company; and 
 iv. the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance Vesting Option shall vest only if,
upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, the Sponsors have received Proceeds that result in achievement of a MOIC equal to three (3) or greater, subject to the Optionee’s Continued Service through such Sale of the Company. 

b. Vesting Following an IPO. Following an IPO, the Performance Vesting Option shall vest as set forth in this
Section 4(b) and, with respect to the portion of the Performance Vesting Option eligible to vest pursuant to Sections 4(b)(iii), (iv), (v) and (vi), subject to
Section 4(c) below. 
 i. Twelve and a half percent (12.5%) of the Performance Vesting Option shall vest on the
earlier of (x) the first anniversary of the IPO and (y) immediately prior to the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, subject to the Optionee’s Continued Service through such applicable date; 

ii. an additional twelve and a half percent (12.5%) of the Performance Vesting Option shall vest on the earlier of (x) the second
anniversary of the IPO and (y) immediately prior to the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, subject to the Optionee’s Continued Service through such applicable date; 

iii. an additional eighteen and three fourths percent (18.75%) of the Performance Vesting Option shall vest on any Measurement Date upon
which the Sponsors have received Proceeds that result in achievement of a MOIC equal to one and one-half (1.5) or greater, subject to the Optionee’s Continued Service through such Measurement Date; 

  
 2 













 iv. an additional eighteen and three fourths percent (18.75%) of the Performance Vesting
Option shall vest on any Measurement Date upon which the Sponsors have received Proceeds that result in achievement of a MOIC equal to two (2) or greater, subject to the Optionee’s Continued Service through such Measurement Date; 

v. an additional eighteen and three fourths percent (18.75%) of the Performance Vesting Option shall vest on any Measurement Date upon which
the Sponsors have received Proceeds that result in achievement of a MOIC equal to two and one-half (2.5) or greater, subject to the Optionee’s Continued Service through such Measurement Date; and 

vi. the remaining eighteen and three fourths percent (18.75%) of the Performance Vesting Option shall vest on any Measurement Date upon which
the Sponsors have received Proceeds that result in achievement of a MOIC equal to three (3) or greater, subject to the Optionee’s Continued Service through such Measurement Date. 

Any portion of the Performance Vesting Option, other than the portion of the Performance Vesting Option that is eligible to vest pursuant to Sections
4(b)(i) and (ii), that does not vest upon the Final Performance Measurement Date shall be immediately forfeited for no consideration. 

c. IRR Vesting Requirement. Notwithstanding Sections 4(a) and 4(b), no portion of the Performance Vesting Option (other than the
portion of the Performance Vesting Option that is eligible to vest pursuant to Sections 4(b)(i) and 4(b)(ii)) shall vest unless, upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company or a Measurement Date, as applicable, the Sponsors have received Proceeds
that result in achievement of an IRR of at least eight percent (8%). 
 d. Calculation of IRR and MOIC. It is understood and agreed
that the determination of IRR and MOIC shall be made on an “as if” basis prior to the actual receipt of Proceeds, and the outstanding portion of the Performance Vesting Option shall become part of the Vested Portion immediately prior to
the receipt of such Proceeds, on the basis of the Proceeds to be received by the Sponsors (including after giving effect to vesting of the Performance Vesting Option as a result thereof under this paragraph), and shall be treated as such in
connection with such receipt of Proceeds. As a result, the calculations described in this Section 4 shall be made in terms of amounts to be received by the Sponsors and the portion of the Performance Vesting Option that will become part of the
Vested Portion, all computed on an “after-vesting” basis as to the Performance Vesting Option. All calculations of MOIC and IRR approved by the Board shall be final and binding upon the Optionee and all other interested parties. 

5. Forfeiture; Expiration. 

a. Termination of Service. 

i. Upon the Termination Date, the Unvested Portion of the Option shall be cancelled and forfeited without consideration therefor; provided
that, in the event of a 

  
 3 













 
termination of the Optionee’s Service by the Company without Cause, a pro rata portion of the Time Vesting Option otherwise scheduled to vest on the next annual vesting date (if any) will
immediately vest pro rata based on the number of days worked by the Optionee during such annual vesting period divided by 365. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Optionee’s Service is terminated by the
Company for Cause or the Optionee resigns at a time when the Optionee’s acts or omissions constitute grounds to terminate the Optionee’s Service for Cause, without regard to any applicable cure rights or notice periods, the Vested Portion
of the Option also shall be cancelled and forfeited on the Termination Date without consideration therefor. 
 b. Breach of Restrictive
Covenants. Any outstanding portion of the Option, including the Vested Portion, shall be cancelled and forfeited without consideration therefor if the Optionee breaches any provision of Section 9 hereof or any
restrictive covenants in any other agreement between the Optionee and the Company or an Affiliate (any such provision, a “Restrictive Covenant”). 

c. Expiration of Option Term. Any unexercised portion of the Option shall expire upon the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date.

 6. Period of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the Optionee may exercise all or any part
of the Vested Portion at any time prior to the earliest to occur of:

b. the date that is twelve (12) months following the date of termination of the Optionee’s Service due to death or Disability; 

c. the date that is ninety (90) days following termination of the Optionee’s Service by the Company without Cause; and

 7. Exercise Procedures. 

a. Notice of Exercise. Subject to Section 6 hereof, the Vested Portion may be exercised by delivering to the
Company at its principal office written notice of intent to so exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (such notice, a “Notice of Exercise”). Such Notice of Exercise shall be accompanied by payment in full of
the aggregate Option Price for the Shares to be acquired upon exercise and applicable withholding tax. In the event the Option is being exercised by the Optionee’s representative, the Notice of Exercise shall be accompanied by proof
(satisfactory to the Board) of the representative’s right to exercise the Option. The aggregate Option Price for the Shares to be exercised shall be paid in cash or its equivalent (e.g., by cashier’s check) unless otherwise permitted by
the Board, in its sole discretion. 
 b. Rights of Optionee; Method of Exercise. Neither the Optionee nor the Optionee’s
representative shall have any rights to dividends, voting rights or other rights of a

shareholder with respect to Shares subject to the Option until (i) the Optionee has given a Notice of Exercise of the Option and paid the Option Price and the applicable withholding tax for
such Shares, (ii) such Shares have been issued, (iii) the Optionee has executed a joinder to the Shareholders Agreement, such joinder substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and (iv) if applicable, the Optionee
has satisfied any other conditions imposed by the Board pursuant to the Plan. In the event of the Optionee’s death, the Vested Portion shall be exercisable by the executor or administrator of the Optionee’s estate or the person or persons
to whom the Optionee’s rights under this Option Agreement shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, as the case may be. Any heir or legatee of the Optionee shall take rights herein granted subject to the terms and
conditions of this Option Agreement and the Plan. 
 8. Shareholders Agreement; Call Rights. All Shares acquired upon exercise of
this Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Shareholders Agreement, including, without limitation, the repurchase rights set forth in Article VI therein. 

9. Restrictive Covenants. 

a. [Non-Competition and] Non-Solicitation. 

i. [Non-Competition. The Optionee agrees that the Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly,
without the prior written consent of the Company while a service provider of the Company and during the twelve (12)-month period following the Termination Date, engage in activities or businesses (including, without limitation, by owning any
interest in, managing, controlling, participating in, consulting with, advising, rendering services for or in any manner engaging in the business of owning, operating or managing any business) in all or any part of North America or any other country
or region in which the Company or its Affiliates conduct or solicit business or, as of the Termination Date, are planning to conduct or solicit business (the “Territory”) that (i) are principally or primarily in the
business of product development, formulation and manufacturing for established and emerging beauty, personal care and home/industrial care companies, (ii) otherwise directly or indirectly compete with the business of the Company and its
Affiliates or (iii) involve any prospective business which is actively sought or being sought by the Company and its Affiliates. In the case of the immediately preceding clauses (ii) and (iii), the other business must directly or
indirectly compete with the business of the Company and its Affiliates at some point during the Optionee’s Service and the prospective business must be actively sought by the Company and its Affiliates at some point during the Optionee’s
Service. Furthermore, in the case of the immediately preceding clauses (ii) and (iii), the Optionee must have had access to and/or obtained knowledge of Confidential Information (as defined below) concerning, and/or been involved with, the
business or prospective business at some point during the Optionee’s Service (the “Business”).] 
 ii. Non-Solicitation of Customers, Prospective Customers and Suppliers. The Optionee agrees that the Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company while a service
provider of the Company [and during the twenty-four (24)-month period following the Termination Date (the “Non-Solicitation Restricted Period”)]: (x) canvass or solicit the business of,
or procure or assist the canvassing or soliciting of the business of any Customer, Prospective Customer or Supplier with whom or which the Optionee materially interacted during the Term or about whom or which the Optionee

received Confidential Information during the Term for any purpose which is in competition, in whole or in part, with the Business; (y) procure or assist the procurement of any business from
any Customer or Prospective Customer with whom or which the Optionee materially interacted during the Term or about whom or which the Optionee received Confidential Information during the Term, for any purpose which is in competition, in whole or in
part, with the Business, in all or part of the Territory; or (z) interfere or attempt to interfere with the Business or persuade or attempt to persuade any Customer, Prospective Customer or Supplier with whom the Optionee materially interacted
during the Term or about whom the Optionee received Confidential Information during the Term to discontinue or alter in an adverse manner such Person’s relationship with the Business. 

iii. Non-Solicitation of Employees and Service Providers. The Optionee agrees that the
Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company while a service provider of the Company and during the [Non-Solicitation Restricted Period][eighteen (18)-month
period following the Termination Date]: (x) solicit the employment or service of, or otherwise induce or entice away from the employment or service of the Company or its Affiliates, any individual who, to the Optionee’s knowledge, is employed
by the Company or its Affiliates or any Person whose services are, to the Optionee’s knowledge, retained by the Company or its Affiliates at the time of the Termination Date or who was, to the Optionee’s knowledge, employed by the Company
or its Affiliates or whose services were, to the Optionee’s knowledge, retained by the Company or its Affiliates in the six (6)-month period immediately preceding the Termination Date (the “Restricted Persons”), whether
or not such Restricted Person would commit any breach of his or her contract of employment or services agreement by reason of leaving the employment or the service of the Company or its Affiliates; or (y) procure or assist any Person to offer
employment to or solicit the employment or service of, or otherwise entice away from the employment or service of, the Company any Restricted Person. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 9(a)(iii) shall not apply to any service or engagement as a result of an advertisement for service that is not
specifically targeted at such Restricted Person. 
 iv. [The provisions of Section 9(a) shall not be deemed breached as a
result of the Optionee’s passive ownership of: (i) less than an aggregate of two percent (2%) of any class of securities of a Person engaged, directly or indirectly, in activities that are competitive with the Business, so long as the
Optionee does not actively participate in the business of such Person; provided, however, that such stock is listed on a national securities exchange; or (ii) less than an aggregate of five percent (5%) in value of any instrument of
indebtedness of a Person engaged, directly or indirectly, in activities that are competitive with the Business.] 
 v.If a final and non-appealable judicial or arbitral determination is made that any of the provisions of this Section 9(a) constitutes an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against the Optionee, the provisions
of this Section 9(a) will not be rendered void but will be deemed to be modified to the minimum extent necessary to remain in force and effect for the longest period and largest geographic area that would not constitute such an unreasonable or
unenforceable restriction. Moreover, and without limiting the generality of Section 9(g), notwithstanding the fact that any provision of this Section 9(a) is determined not to be subject to specific enforcement, the Company will
nevertheless be entitled to recover monetary damages as a result of the Optionee’s breach of such provision.

 b. Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. 

i. The Optionee acknowledges that the Confidential Information obtained by the Optionee while employed by the Company and its
subsidiaries and Affiliates is the property of the Company or its subsidiaries and Affiliates, as applicable. Therefore, the Optionee agrees that the Optionee shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any unauthorized Person or use any
Confidential Information for the Optionee’s own purposes or any purpose other than the performance of his or her duties under this Option Agreement. 

ii.For purposes of this Option Agreement, “Confidential Information” means information, observations and data
concerning or relating to the business or affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates, including, without limitation, all business information (whether or not in written form) which relates to the Company, its subsidiaries or
Affiliates, or their customers, suppliers or contractors or any other third parties in respect of which the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates has a business relationship or owes a duty of confidentiality, or their respective businesses or
products, including but not limited to: technical information or reports; formulas; trade secrets; unwritten knowledge and “know-how”; operating instructions; training manuals; customer lists;
customer buying records and habits; product sales records and documents, and product development, marketing and sales strategies; market surveys; marketing plans; profitability analyses; product cost; long-range plans; information relating to
pricing, competitive strategies and new product development; information relating to any forms of compensation or other personnel-related information; contracts; and supplier lists. Confidential Information will not include such information
(i) known to the Optionee prior to the Optionee’s involvement with the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates or (ii) information rightfully obtained from a third party or that is generally known to the parties (other than pursuant
to the Optionee’s negligence or breach of this Option Agreement). Without limiting the foregoing, the Optionee and the Company each agrees to keep confidential the existence of, and any information concerning, any dispute between the Optionee
and the Company or its subsidiaries and Affiliates, except that the Optionee and the Company each may disclose information concerning such dispute to the court that is considering such dispute or to their respective legal counsel (provided that such
counsel agrees not to disclose any such information other than as necessary to the prosecution or defense of such dispute). 
 iii.The
Optionee agrees that the Optionee shall not disclose the terms of this Option Agreement, except to the Optionee’s immediate family and the Optionee’s financial and legal advisors, or as may be required by law or ordered by a court. The
Optionee further agrees that any disclosure to the Optionee’s financial and legal advisors will only be made after such advisors acknowledge and agree to maintain the confidentiality of this Option Agreement and its terms. 

iv.If the Optionee receives a request to disclose Confidential Information or the terms of this Option Agreement pursuant to a deposition,
interrogation, request for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand, governmental or regulatory process or similar legal process, (i) the Optionee shall promptly


  
 7 













 
notify the Company in writing and consult with and assist the Company in seeking a protective order or request for other appropriate remedy, (ii) in the event that such protective order or
remedy is not obtained, or if the Company waives compliance with the terms hereof, the Optionee shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information or the terms of this Option Agreement which, based on the written advice of the
Optionee’s legal counsel, is legally required to be disclosed and shall exercise reasonable best efforts to provide that the receiving Person shall agree to treat such Confidential Information as confidential to the greatest extent possible
(and permitted under applicable law) in respect of the applicable proceeding or process and (iii) the Company shall be given an opportunity to review the Confidential Information prior to disclosure thereof. 

v.The Optionee further agrees that the Optionee will not use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former
employers or any other Person to whom the Optionee has an obligation of confidentiality, and will not bring onto the premises of the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer
or other Person to whom the Optionee has an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by the former employer or other Person. 

vi.The Optionee understands that nothing contained in this Option Agreement limits the Optionee’s ability to file a charge or complaint
with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state, provincial or local governmental agency or
commission (“Government Agencies”). The Optionee further understands that this Option Agreement does not limit the Optionee’s ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any
investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. This Option Agreement does not limit the Optionee’s right to receive an award for
information provided to any Government Agency. Further, the Company hereby provides notice to the Optionee pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §1833 that an individual may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law
for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (i) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state, provincial or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to any attorney; and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or
investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. Further, an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a
suspected violation of law may disclose the employer’s trade secrets to the attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the individual: (A) files any and all documents containing the trade secret under seal;
and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. The Optionee is advised to consult an attorney prior to disclosing any trade secrets or other Confidential Information as such immunity is only applicable in limited
situations. 
 c. Return of Property. The Optionee acknowledges that all notes, memoranda, specifications, devices, formulas,
records, files, lists, drawings, documents, models, equipment, hardware, software or other technology, intellectual property, or other property concerning or relating to the businesses of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and Affiliates,


  
 8 













 
in whatever form (including electronic), and all copies thereof, that are received or created by the Optionee (including but not limited to Confidential Information and Inventions (as defined
below)) are and shall remain the property of the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates, and the Optionee shall immediately return, or at the Company’s request immediately dispose of such property to the Company upon the termination of the
Optionee’s employment and, in any event, at the Company’s request. The Optionee further agrees that any property situated on the premises of, and owned by, the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, including disks and other storage
media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company’s personnel at any time with or without notice. 
 d.
Intellectual Property Rights. 
 i. The Optionee agrees that all results and proceeds of the Optionee’s services for the
Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, but not limited to, any and all trade secrets, products, materials, services, processes, know-how, designs, developments, innovations, analyses, drawings,
reports, techniques, formulas, methods, developmental or experimental work, improvements, discoveries, inventions, ideas, software, source and object codes, programs, data, information, matters of a literary, musical, dramatic or otherwise creative
nature, writings and other works of authorship, technology, intellectual property and other property) resulting from or relating to services performed for or on behalf of the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates and any works in progress for
the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, that were made, developed, conceived or reduced to practice or learned by the Optionee, either alone or jointly with others
(collectively, “Inventions”), shall be works-made-for-hire and the Company (or, if applicable or as directed by the Company, any of its
subsidiaries or Affiliates) shall be deemed the sole owner throughout the universe of the Inventions along with any and all trade secret, patent, copyright and other intellectual property rights of whatsoever nature therein (collectively,
“Proprietary Rights”), whether or not now or hereafter known, existing, contemplated, recognized or developed, with the right to use the same in perpetuity in any manner the Company determines in its sole discretion, without
any further payment to the Optionee whatsoever. If, for any reason, any Inventions shall not legally be a work-made-for-hire and/or there are any Proprietary Rights
which do not accrue to the Company (or, as the case may be, any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates) under the immediately preceding sentence, then the Optionee hereby irrevocably assigns any and all of the Optionee’s right, title and interest
thereto whether or not now or hereafter known, existing, contemplated, recognized or developed, to the Company (or, if applicable or as directed by the Company, any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates), and the Company or such subsidiaries or
Affiliates shall have the right to use the same in perpetuity throughout the universe in any manner determined by the Company or such subsidiaries or Affiliates without any further payment to the Optionee whatsoever. The Optionee shall promptly and
fully disclose to the Company all information known to the Optionee concerning any Inventions or other Proprietary Rights. To the extent the Optionee has any Proprietary Rights that cannot be assigned in the manner described above, the Optionee
unconditionally and irrevocably relinquishes, discharges and waives the enforcement of such Proprietary Rights. This Section 9(d) is subject to and shall not be deemed to limit, restrict or constitute any waiver by the Company of any
Proprietary Rights of ownership to which the Company may be entitled by virtue of the Company’s being the Optionee’s employer or otherwise by operation of law. 

  
 9 













 ii. The Optionee agrees that, from time to time, as may be requested by the Company and at
the Company’s sole cost and expense, the Optionee shall deliver all documents and do any and all things that the Company may reasonably deem useful or desirable to establish or document the Company’s exclusive ownership throughout any and
all countries of any and all Proprietary Rights or to file applications, to register, prosecute, obtain, perfect, evidence, maintain, defend or enforce any Proprietary Rights, including, without limitation, the execution of appropriate copyright,
patent and other intellectual property applications or assignments. In addition, the Optionee shall execute, verify, and deliver assignments of such Proprietary Rights to the Company or its designees. The Optionee’s obligation to assist the
Company with respect to Proprietary Rights in any and all countries shall continue beyond the termination of the Optionee’s employment with the Company. 

iii. The Optionee hereby assigns to the Company all right, title and interest in or to the Proprietary Rights and relinquishes and waives any
and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, that the Optionee now or may hereafter have in or to any Proprietary Rights. 
 e.
Nondisparagement. The Optionee shall not at any time while a service provider of the Company and following the Termination Date, whether in writing or orally, malign, denigrate or disparage the Company, its subsidiaries or Affiliates or their
respective predecessors and successors, or any of the current or former directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, members, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, with respect to any of their respective past or present
activities, or otherwise publish (whether in writing or orally) statements that tend to portray any of the aforementioned parties in an unfavorable light. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 9(e) shall be construed
to limit or interfere with the Optionee’s right to engage in the activities set forth in Section 9(b)(vi). 
 f. Notification
of Subsequent Employer. The Optionee hereby agrees that prior to accepting employment with, or agreeing to provide services to any other Person during any period during which the Optionee remains subject to any of the covenants set forth in
Section 9(a), the Optionee shall provide such prospective employer with written notice of such provisions of this Option Agreement, with a copy of such notice delivered simultaneously to the Company. 

g. Remedies and Injunctive Relief. The Optionee acknowledges that a violation by the Optionee of any of the covenants contained in this
Section 9 would cause irreparable damage to the Company in an amount that would be material but not readily ascertainable, and that any remedy at law (including the payment of damages) would be inadequate. Accordingly, the Optionee agrees that,
notwithstanding any provision of this Option Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall be entitled (without the necessity of posting any bond or showing economic loss or other actual damage) to seek injunctive relief (including temporary
restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and/or permanent injunctions) in arbitration or in any court of competent jurisdiction, as applicable in accordance with Section 17, for any actual or threatened breach of any of the covenants set
forth in this Section 9, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies it may have. The preceding sentence shall not be construed as a waiver of the rights that the Company may have for damages under this Option Agreement or otherwise,
and all of the Company’s rights shall be unrestricted. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Option Agreement to the contrary, the duration of any restrictive covenant in Section 9(a) of this Option Agreement shall be tolled during
any period of violation of any such covenant, and the duration of the restrictive covenant shall be extended by the number of days which equals the aggregate of all days during which such violations occurred. 

  
 10 













 10. No Right to Continued Service. The granting of the Option shall impose no
obligation on the Company or any Affiliate to continue the Service of the Optionee and shall not lessen or affect any right that the Company or any Affiliate may have to terminate the Service of the Optionee. 

11. Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold automatically from any payment or Shares
deliverable under this Option Agreement, or require the Optionee to remit to the Company, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, provincial, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with
respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Option Agreement. 
 12. Transferability. Unless otherwise determined by the
Board, the Optionee shall not be permitted to transfer or assign the Option except in the event of death and in accordance with Section 6(i) of the Plan.

the Plan.
