	 	(iii)	a combination of Sections 3(b)(i) and (ii) hereof. 

 In addition, payment of the Option Price may be payable by one or more of the following methods either upon written consent from the Committee or if one or more of the following methods will not result in a charge to the Company’s
earnings for financial reporting purposes: 
  

	 	(iv)	by withholding Stock that otherwise would be acquired on exercise having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the aggregate Option Price,


  

	 	(v)	by tendering other Awards payable under the Plan, or

Value equal to the purchase price. 

  

	 	(vii)	Any combination of Sections 3(b)(i)-(vi) upon written consent of the Committee. 

  

	 	(c)	Compliance with Federal and State Law. The Company reserves the right to delay a Participant’s exercise of the Option if (1) the Company’s issuance of
Stock upon such exercise would violate any applicable federal or state securities laws or any other applicable laws or regulations, or (2) the Company reasonably determines that issuance of Stock would not be deductible under Code
Section 162(m). The Participant may not sell or otherwise dispose of Option Shares in violation of any applicable law. The Company may postpone issuing and delivering any Option Shares for so long as the Company reasonably determines to be
necessary to satisfy the following:

or state law, rule, or regulation;

	 	(ii)	its receiving proof it considers satisfactory that a person seeking to exercise the Option after the Participant’s death is entitled to do so; 

  

	 	(iii)	the Participant complying with any requests for representations under the Plan; and 

  

	 	(iv)	the Participant complying with any federal, state, or local tax withholding obligations. 

  

	 	(d)	No Fractions of Stock. The Company shall not be required to issue any fractional shares of Stock.

	 	(a)	General Rule. If the Company is obligated to withhold an amount on account of any tax imposed as a result of the exercise of an Option, the Participant shall be
required to pay such amount to the Company, as provided under Section 17 of the Plan. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant is responsible for the tax consequences associated with the grant of the Option and its exercise.


  

	5.	Changes in Company’s Capital Structure. 

  

	 	(a)	Adjustment in Authorized Stock. As may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee, in its complete and sole discretion, to prevent dilution or
enlargement of rights, the Committee shall make or authorize to be made an adjustment in the number and class of Option and/or the Option Price to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights, as a result of the following: 

  

	 	(i)	any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business; 

  

	 	(ii)	any merger or consolidation of the Company;

	 	(vi)	any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. 

  

	6.	Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete. The Participant agrees to, understands and acknowledges the following: 

  

	 	(a)	Confidential Information. The Participant will be furnished, use or otherwise have access to certain Confidential Information of the Company. For purposes of this
Option Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any and all financial, technical, commercial or other information concerning the business and affairs of the Company that is confidential and proprietary to the Company, including without
limitation, 

  

	 	(i)	information relating to the Company’s past and existing customers and vendors and development of prospective customers and vendors, including specific customer product
requirements, pricing arrangements, payments terms, customer lists and other similar information; 

  

	 	(ii)	inventions, designs, methods, discoveries, works of authorship, creations, improvements or ideas developed or otherwise produced, acquired or used by the Company;


  

	 	(iii)	the Company’s proprietary programs, processes or software, consisting of but not limited to, computer programs in source or object code and all related documentation and
training materials, including all upgrades, updates, improvements, derivatives and modifications thereof and including programs and documentation in incomplete stages of design or research and development; 

  

	 	(iv)	the subject matter of the Company’s patents, design patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, manuals, operating instructions,
training materials, and other industrial property, including such information in incomplete stages of design or research and development; and 

  

	 	(v)	other confidential and proprietary information or documents relating to the Company’s products, business and marketing plans and techniques, sales and distribution networks and
any other information or documents which the Company reasonably regards as being confidential. 

  

 3 








 The Company devotes significant financial, human and other resources to the development of its products,
its customer base and the general goodwill associated with its business, and the Company diligently maintains the secrecy and confidentiality of its Confidential Information. Each and every component of the Confidential Information is sufficiently
secret to derive economic value from its not being generally known to other persons. While serving on the Board and thereafter, the Participant will hold in the strictest confidence and not use in any manner which is detrimental to the Company or
disclose to any individual or entity any Confidential Information, except as may be required by the Company in connection with the Participant’s service on the Board. 
 All Company Materials are and will be the sole property of the Company. The Participant agrees that during and after his or her service on the Board, the Participant will not remove any Company Materials from the
business premises of the Company or deliver any Company Materials to any person or entity outside the Company, except as the Participant is required to do so in connection with performing the duties as a member of the Board. The Participant further
agrees that, immediately upon the termination of his or her service on the Board for any reason, or during the Participant’s tenure as a member of the Board if so requested by the Company, the Participant will return all Company Materials and
other physical property, and any reproduction thereof, excepting only the Participant’s copy of this Agreement. For purposes of this Option Agreement, “Company Materials” means documents or other media or tangible items that contain
or embody Confidential Information or any other information concerning the business, operations or future/strategic plans of the Company, whether such documents have been prepared by the Participant or by others. 
  

	 	(b)	Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete. For the period beginning on the date hereof and ending twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination of
service on the Board, the Participant will not directly or indirectly: 

  

	 	(i)	employ, recruit or solicit for employment any person who is (or was within the six (6) months prior to the date the Participant’s service on the Board terminated) an
employee of the Company; 

  

	 	(ii)	accept employment, serve on the board of directors of, or engage in a competing business which may require contact, solicitation, interference or diverting of any of the
Company’s customers, or that may result in the disclosure, divulging, or other use, of Confidential Information or Company Materials acquired during the Participant’s service on the Board; or 

  

	 	(iii)	solicit or encourage any customer, vendor or potential customer or vendor of the Company with whom the Participant had contact while serving on the Board to terminate or otherwise
alter his, her or its relationship with the Company. The Participant understands that any person or entity that the Participant contacted during the twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Participant’s termination of service on the
Board for the purpose of soliciting sales from such person or entity shall be regarded as a “potential customer” of the Company to whom the Company has a protectible proprietary interest. 

  

	 	(c)	Remedies for Violation. 

  

	 	(i)	Injunctive Action. The Participant acknowledges that if he or she violates the terms of this Section 6, the injury that would be suffered by the Company as a
result of a breach of the provisions of this Option Agreement (including any provision of Section 6 (a) or (b) hereof) would be irreparable and that an award of monetary damages to the Company for such a breach would be an inadequate
remedy. Consequently, the Company will have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce any provision of this Option Agreement,
and the Company will not be obligated to post bond or other security in seeking such relief. Without limiting the Company’s rights under this Section 6(c) (or Sections 6(a) or (b) hereof) or any other remedies of the Company, if the
Participant breaches any of the provisions of Sections 6(a) or (b) hereof, the Company will have the right to cease making any payments otherwise due to the Participant under this Option Agreement. 

  

 4 









	 	(ii)	Forfeiture of the Option and Repayment. In addition to the rights available to the Company under Section 6(c)(i) hereof, if the Participant violates the terms of
this Section 6 at any time, the Participant, without any further action by the Company or the Participant, shall forfeit, as of the first day of any such violation, all right, title and interest to this Option, any Option Shares then owned by
the Participant and any net proceeds received by the Participant pursuant to any sales or transfer of any Option Shares prior to, on or after such date, and the Company shall have the right to issue a stop transfer order and other appropriate
instructions to its transfer agent with respect to this Option and the Option Shares, and the Company further shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Participant of any fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf
of the Company in enforcing the Company’s rights under this Section 6. By accepting this Option, the Participant hereby consents to a deduction from any amounts the Company owes to the Participant from time to time (unless such amounts is
subject to Code Section 409A), to the extent of any amounts that the Participant owes the Company under this Section 6. In addition to any injunctive relief sought under Section 6(c)(i) hereof and whether or not the Company elects to
make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company does not recover by means of set-off the full amount the Participant owes to the Company, calculated as set forth in this Section 6(c)(ii), the Participant agrees to immediately pay the
unpaid balance to the Company. 

  

	 	(d)	Enforceability of Restrictive Covenants. The scope and duration of the restrictive covenants contained in this Option Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect
a legitimate, protectible interest of the Company. However, if one or more provisions of this Option Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law to any extent, such provision(s) shall, to that extent, be excluded from this Option
Agreement and the balance of the Option Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision(s) were so excluded to that extent and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms. 

  

	 	(e)	Written Acknowledgement by the Participant. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may require the Participant, as a condition to the exercise of this Option, to
acknowledge in writing that he or she has not engaged, and is not in the process of engaging, in any of the activities described in this Section 6. 

  

	7.	Miscellaneous Provisions. 

  

	 	(a)	No Service or Employment Rights. No provision of this Option Agreement or of the Option granted hereunder shall give the Participant any right to continue to serve on
the Board or in the service or employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, create any inference as to the length of employment or service of the Participant, affect the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or service of
the Participant, with or without Cause, or give the Participant any right to participate in any employee welfare or benefit plan or other program (other than the Plan) of the Company or any Subsidiary. 

  

	 	(b)	Stockholder Rights. Until the Option shall have been duly exercised to purchase Option Shares and such shares have been officially recorded as issued on the
Company’s official stockholder records, no person or entity shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of such Option Shares, and adjustments for dividends or otherwise shall be made only if the record
date therefore is subsequent to the date such shares are recorded and after the date of exercise and without duplication of any adjustment. 

  

	 	(c)	Plan Document Governs. The Option is granted pursuant to the Plan, and the Option and this Option Agreement are in all respects governed by the Plan and subject to all
of the terms and provisions thereof, whether such terms and provisions are incorporated in this Option Agreement by reference or are expressly cited. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Plan. Any inconsistency between the Option Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in favor of the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan. 

  

 5 









	 	(d)	Investment Representation and Agreement. The Committee may require the Participant to furnish to the Company, prior to the issuance of any Option Shares upon the
exercise of all or any part of this Option, an agreement (in such form as the Committee may specify) in which the Participant represents that the Option Shares acquired by him or her upon exercise are being acquired for investment and not with a
view to the sale or distribution thereof. 

  

	 	(e)	Beneficiary Designation. The Participant may, from time to time, in accordance with procedures set forth by the Committee, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who
may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under this Option Agreement is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by
the Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Committee during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining
unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate or exercised by the Participant’s estate. 

  

	 	(f)	Administration. This Option Agreement and the rights of the Participant hereunder are subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended
from time to time, as well as to such rules and regulations as the Committee may adopt for administration of the Plan. It is expressly understood that the Committee is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or
appropriate to the administration of the Plan and this Option Agreement, all of which shall be binding upon the Participant. 

  

	 	(g)	No Vested Right In Future Awards. The Participant acknowledges and agrees (by executing this Option Agreement) that the granting of Options under this Option Agreement
are made on a fully discretionary basis by the Company and that this Option Agreement does not lead to a vested right to further Awards in the future. 

  

	 	(h)	Use Of Personal Data. By executing this Option Agreement, the Participant acknowledges and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of certain personal
data, including his or her name, compensation, nationality, job title, position, and details of all past Awards and current Awards outstanding under the Plan (“Data”), for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan. The Participant
is not obliged to consent to such collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data, but a refusal to provide such consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan. The Company, or its Subsidiaries, may transfer Data among
themselves or to third parties as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These various recipients of Data may be located elsewhere throughout the world. The Participant authorizes these various
recipients of Data to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Participant may, at any time, review Data with respect to the
Participant and require any necessary amendments to such Data. The Participant may withdraw his or her consent to use Data herein by notifying the Company in writing; however, the Participant understands that by withdrawing his or her consent to use
Data, the Participant may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan. 

  

	 	(i)	Severability. In the event that any provision of this Option Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect
the remaining parts of this Option Agreement, and this Option Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 

  

	 	(j)	Waiver; Cumulative Rights. The failure or delay of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision hereof shall not affect its right to require
performance of such provision unless and until such performance has been waived in writing. Each and every right hereunder is cumulative and may be exercised in part or in whole from time to time. 

  

	 	(k)	Notices. Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give the other shall be in writing and may be delivered personally or by mail, postage
prepaid, addressed to the Secretary of the Company, at its then corporate headquarters, and the Participant at the Participant’s address (including any electronic mail address) as shown on the Company’s records, or to such other address as
the Participant, by notice to the Company, may designate in writing from time to time. The Participant hereby consents to electronic delivery of any notices that may be made hereunder.
