amended (the “1991 Plan”). The Program is intended to carry out the purposes of the 1991 Plan and provide a means to reinforce objectives for sustained long-term performance and value creation by awarding each non-employee director
of the Company with stock awards, subject to the restrictions and other provisions of the Program and the 1991 Plan. The Program shall be effective as of December 9, 2003 (the “Effective Date”).

 3.3 Terms of Options. 
  
 (a)
Each Nonqualified Stock Option granted pursuant to the Program shall constitute a Discretionary Stock Option under Section 5 of the 1991 Plan. The provisions of separate Nonqualified Stock Options need not be identical, but each Nonqualified
Stock Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Nonqualified Stock Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions as set forth in this Section 3.3 and Section 5 of the 1991
Plan.

Nonqualified Option is granted. 
  
 (d) The
purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to a Nonqualified Stock Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and 

  

 2 

 
regulations, either: (i) in cash at the time the Nonqualified Stock Option is exercised; or (ii) at the discretion of the Board, either at the time
of grant or exercise of the Nonqualified Stock Option (A) by delivery to the Company of shares of Common Stock that have been held for the period required to avoid a charge to the Company’s reported earnings and valued at the fair market
value on the date of exercise, or (B) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board in its discretion; including but not limited to payment of the purchase price pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T
as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board which results in the receipt of cash (or a check) by the Company before Common Stock is issued or the receipt of irrevocable instruction to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales
proceeds before Common Stock is issued. 
  
 (e) A
Nonqualified Stock Option shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Eligible Director only by the Eligible Director, and after the death of the Eligible Director, the Nonqualified Stock Option shall be exercisable by the person or persons to
whom the Eligible Director’s rights under such option pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 
  
 (f) Each Nonqualified Stock Option that is granted to an Eligible Director who has as of the date of grant provided three (3) years
of prior continuous service on the Board as an Eligible Director shall be fully vested as of the date of grant. Each Nonqualified Stock Option that is granted to an Eligible Director who has not as of the date of grant provided three (3) years
of prior continuous service as an Eligible Director shall be fully vested as of the date upon which such Eligible Director has provided one year of continuous service on the Board as an Eligible Director following the date of grant of such
Nonqualified Stock Option. If the Eligible Director’s relationship as a director of the Company or an Affiliate is terminated by reason of the Eligible Director’s death or disability (within the meaning of Title II or XVI of the Social
Security Act or comparable statute applicable to an Affiliate and with such permanent and total disability certified by (i) the Social Security Administration, (ii) the comparable governmental authority applicable to an Affiliate,
(iii) such other body having the relevant decision-making power applicable to an Affiliate, or (iv) an independent medical advisor appointed by the Company, as applicable, prior to such termination), then the vesting schedule of each
Nonqualified Stock Option granted to such Eligible Director shall be accelerated by twelve months for each full year the Eligible Director has been affiliated with the Company and/or an Affiliate. 
  
 (g) The Company may require any holder under this Article
III, or any person to whom a Nonqualified Stock Option is transferred under Section 3.3(e), as a condition of exercising any such option: (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to such person’s knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative who has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, and that such person is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser
representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Nonqualified Stock Option; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that such person is acquiring the Common Stock subject to the Nonqualified Stock Option
for such person’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Stock. These requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such 

  

 3 

 
requirements, shall be inoperative if: (x) the issuance of the shares upon the exercise of the Nonqualified Stock Option has been registered under a
then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); or (y) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such
requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities law. 
  
 ARTICLE IV 
  
 RESTRICTED
STOCK UNITS 
  
 4.1 Annual Grants. On March 15,
2004, each person who is at that time an Eligible Director shall automatically be granted, without further action by the Company, the Board, or the Company’s stockholders, Restricted Stock Units to acquire a number of shares of Common Stock
(rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) $100,000, by (y) the closing market price of a share of Common Stock on the business day immediately preceding the date of grant (rounded to two
decimal places); thereafter, on March 15 of each year after the Effective Date, each person who is at that time an Eligible Director shall automatically be granted, without further action by the Company, the Board, or the Company’s
stockholders, Restricted Stock Units to acquire a number of shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) $100,000, by (y) the closing market price of a share of Common
Stock on the date of grant (rounded to two decimal places). Should the date of grant set forth in this Section 4.1 be a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, such grant shall be made on the next business day. Restricted Stock Units shall
constitute stock bonuses under Section 7 of the 1991 Plan. 
  
 4.2 Terms of Restricted Stock Units. 
  
 (a) Each Restricted Stock Unit granted pursuant to this Program shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Restricted Stock Units need not be identical,
but each Restricted Stock Unit shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Restricted Stock Unit agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions as set forth this Section 4.2 and
Section 7 of the 1991 Plan. 
  
 (b) Each
grant of Restricted Stock Units made to an Eligible Director who has as of the date of grant provided three (3) years of prior continuous service on the Board as an Eligible Director shall be fully vested as of the date of grant and each grant
of Restricted Stock Units that is made to an Eligible Director who has not as of the date of grant provided three (3) years of prior continuous service as an Eligible Director shall be fully vested as of the date upon which such Eligible
Director has provided one year of continuous service on the Board as an Eligible Director following the date of grant of such Restricted Stock Units (in each case, such date of vesting the “Vesting Date”). If the Eligible
Director’s relationship as a director of the Company or an Affiliate is terminated by reason of the Eligible Director’s death or total and permanent disability (as certified by an independent medical advisor appointed by 

  

 4 

 
the Company prior to such termination) and in a manner constituting a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, then
a prorated number (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of unvested Restricted Stock Units, if any, shall vest immediately upon such death or disability, determined by multiplying the number of unvested Restricted Stock Units, if any, by a
fraction (rounded to two decimal places), the numerator of which is the number of complete months of continuous service during the one year period following the date of grant and the denominator of which is 12. 
  
 (c) A holder’s vested Restricted Stock Units shall be
paid by the Company in shares of Common Stock (on a one-to-one basis) on, or as soon as practicable after, the Vesting Date (the “Payment Date”), but in any event by the fifteenth day of the third month following the end of the tax
year in which such Restricted Stock Units vest, unless the Eligible Director has irrevocably elected in writing by December 31 of the year preceding the grant of such Restricted Stock Units to defer the payment of such Restricted Stock Units,
and any dividends paid thereon, to another date under one of the following options, which payment form or forms (including payment upon death or disability as provided above) shall be specified at the time of the deferral election (the
“Deferred Payment Date”): (i) full payment of the Restricted Stock Units in January of a year specified by the Eligible Director which shall be no earlier than the third calendar year following the calendar year in which the
date of grant occurs and no later than the tenth calendar year following such year, (ii) payment of the Restricted Stock Units in five substantially equal annual installments, commencing in January of the calendar year following the year in
which the Eligible Director with respect to whom the Restricted Stock Units were granted ceases to be an Eligible Director and ceases to otherwise provide services to the Company in a manner that constitutes a “separation from service”
(within the meaning Code Section 409A) for any reason, or (iii) payment of the Restricted Stock Units in ten substantially equal annual installments, commencing in January of the calendar year following the year in which the Eligible
Director with respect to whom the Restricted Stock Units were granted ceases to be an Eligible Director and ceases to otherwise provide services to the Company in a manner that constitutes a “separation from service” (within the meaning
Code Section 409A) for any reason. Shares of Common Stock issued in respect of a Restricted Stock Unit shall be deemed to be issued in consideration for future services to be rendered or past services actually rendered to the Company or for its
benefit, by the Eligible Director, which the Board deems to have a value not less than the par value of a share of Common Stock. 
  
 4.3 Dividend Equivalents. If an Eligible Director has elected to defer payment of his or her vested Restricted Stock Units as provided in
Section 4.2(c) above and the Company pays any dividends with respect to the Common Stock at any time during the period between the Payment Date and the Deferred Payment Date, the holder of such vested Restricted Stock Units shall be credited,
as of the dividend payment date, with dividend equivalents equal to the amount of the dividends which would have been payable to such holder if the holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of vested Restricted Stock Units
so deferred. Such dividend equivalents shall be deemed reinvested in the Common Stock on the dividend payment date and shall be paid by the Company in shares of Common Stock on the Deferred Payment Date. Such dividend equivalents shall constitute
stock bonuses under Section 7 of the 1991 Plan.

 ARTICLE V 
  

MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 5.1 Administration of the Program. The Program shall be administered by the Board. 
  
 5.2 Application of 1991 Plan. The Program is subject to all the provisions of the 1991 Plan, including
Section 11 thereof (relating to adjustments upon changes in the Common Stock) and Section 12 thereof (relating to Change of Control), and its provisions are hereby made a part of the Program, and is further subject to all interpretations,
amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the 1991 Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Program and those of the 1991 Plan, the provisions of the 1991 Plan shall
control. 
  
 5.3 Amendment and Termination. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Board may, at any time, terminate, modify or suspend the Program; provided, however, that, without the prior consent of the Eligible Directors affected, no such action may adversely affect any rights or
obligations with respect to any Awards theretofore earned but unpaid, whether or not the amounts of such Awards have been computed and whether or not such Awards are then payable. Any amendment of this Program may, in the sole discretion of the
Board, be accomplished in a manner calculated to cause such amendment not to constitute an “extension,” “renewal” or “modification” (each within the meaning of Code Section 409A) of any RSUs that would cause such
RSUs to be considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A). 
  
 5.4 No Contract for Employment. Nothing contained in the Program or in any document related to the Program or to any Award shall confer upon any
Eligible Director any right to continue as a director or in the service or employment of the Company or an Affiliate or constitute any contract or agreement of service or employment for a specific term or interfere in any way with the right of the
Company or an Affiliate to reduce such person’s compensation, to change the position held by such person or to terminate the service of such person, with or without cause. 
  
 5.5 Nontransferability. No benefit payable under, or interest in, this Program shall be subject in any manner to
anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge and any such attempted action shall be void and no such benefit or interest shall be, in any manner, liable for, or subject to, debts, contracts, liabilities or
torts of any Eligible Director or beneficiary; provided, however, that, nothing in this Section 5.5 shall prevent transfer (i) by will, (ii) by applicable laws of descent and distribution, or (iii) to an Alternate Payee to
the extent that a QDRO so provides. The assignment of an Award to an Alternate Payee pursuant to a QDRO shall not be treated as having caused a new grant. If an Award is assigned to an Alternate Payee, the Alternate Payee generally has the same
rights as the Eligible Director under the terms of the Program; provided however, that (i) the Award 

  

 6 

 
shall be subject to the same vesting terms and exercise period as if the Award were still held by the Eligible Director, and (ii) an Alternate Payee may
not transfer an Award. In the event of the 1991 Plan administrator’s receipt of a domestic relations order or other notice of adverse claim by an Alternate Payee of an Eligible Director of an Award, transfer of the proceeds of the exercise of
such Award, whether in the form of cash, stock or other property, may be suspended. Such proceeds shall thereafter be transferred pursuant to the terms of a QDRO or other agreement between the Eligible Director and Alternate Payee. An Eligible
Director’s ability to exercise an Award may be barred if the 1991 Plan administrator receives a court order directing the 1991 Plan administrator not to permit exercise. 
  
 5.6 Nature of Program. No Eligible Director, beneficiary or other person shall have any right, title or interest in
any fund or in any specific asset of the Company or any Affiliate by reason of any award hereunder. There shall be no funding of any benefits which may become payable hereunder. Nothing contained in this Program (or in any document related thereto),
nor the creation or adoption of this Program, nor any action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Program shall create, or be construed to create, a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or an Affiliate and any
Eligible Director, beneficiary or other person. To the extent that an Eligible Director, beneficiary or other person acquires a right to receive payment with respect to an award hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any
unsecured general creditor of the Company or other employing entity, as applicable. All amounts payable under this Program shall be paid from the general assets of the Company or employing entity, as applicable, and no special or separate fund or
deposit shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts. Nothing in this Program shall be deemed to give any employee any right to participate in this Program except in accordance herewith.

  
 5.7 Governing Law. This Program shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. 
  
 5.8 Code Section 409A. To the extent that this Program constitutes a “non-qualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning
of with Code Section 409A and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date, this program
shall be interpreted and operated in accordance with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Program to the contrary, in the event that following the grant of any RSUs, the Board determines that any Award does or may
violate any of the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Board may adopt such amendments to the Program and any affected Award or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or
take any other actions, that the Board determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Program and any such Award from the application of Code Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with
respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

 GRANT OF NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION 
 (Under the Amended and Restated 1991 Equity Incentive Plan) 
  
                             , Amgen Inc. Stock Optionee: 
  
 AMGEN INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to its
Amended and Restated 1991 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), has this day granted to you, the optionee named above, an option to purchase
                     shares of the $.0001 par value common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) pursuant to the terms hereof. This
option is not intended to qualify and will not be treated as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (together with the regulations and other official guidance
promulgated thereunder). 
  
 The provisions of your option are as follows:

  
 1. [select vesting schedule based on director’s length of service]
[Subject to the limitations contained herein, this option shall vest on [grant date]. [Subject to the provisions contained herein, this option shall vest on [one year from grant date], provided that from the date of grant of this
option through the vesting date, you have continuously served as a non-employee director of the Company (as that term is defined in the Plan).] 
  
 2. (a) The per share exercise price of this option is $        , being not less than the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the date of grant of this option. 
  
 (b) To the extent
permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, payment of the exercise price per share is due in full in cash or check upon exercise of all or any part of this option which has become exercisable by you. However, if at the time of exercise, the
Company’s Common Stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in the Wall Street Journal, payment of the exercise price may be made by delivery of already-owned shares of Common Stock of a value equal to the exercise price of the shares
of Common Stock for which this option is being exercised. The already-owned shares must have been owned by you for the period required to avoid a charge to the Company’s reported earnings and owned free and clear of any liens, claims,
encumbrances or security interests. Payment may also be made by a combination of cash and already-owned Common Stock. 
  
 3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this option may not be exercised unless the shares issuable upon exercise of this option are then registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or, if such shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Act. 

 
 [select section 4 with acceleration provisions if option not fully vested at date of
grant] 
  

 3 

 [4. The term of this option commences on the date hereof and, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the Plan, terminates
on                      (which date shall be no more than seven (7) years from the date this option is granted).] 
  
 4. The term of this option commences on the date hereof and, unless sooner terminated
pursuant to the Plan, terminates on                      (which date shall be no more than seven (7) years from the date this option is
granted). If termination of your relationship as a director of the Company is due to (a) your permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Title II or XVI of the Social Security Act or comparable statute applicable to an Affiliate and
with such permanent and total disability certified by the Social Security Administration, prior to such termination), or (b) your death, then the vesting schedule of unvested portions of the option will be accelerated by twelve (12) months
for each full year that you have been affiliated as a director with the Company. 
  
 However, in any and all circumstances and except to the extent the vesting schedule has been accelerated by the Company in its sole discretion during the term of this option or as a result of your permanent and total
disability or death as provided above, this option may be exercised following termination of your relationship as a director of the Company only as to that number of shares as to which it was exercisable on the date of such termination provisions of
paragraph 1 of this option. For purposes of this option, “termination of your relationship as a director of the Company” shall mean the last date you are a director of the Company. 
  
 5. To the extent specified above, this option may be exercised by delivering a Notice of
Exercise of Stock Option form, together with the exercise price to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the Company may then
require pursuant to section 5 of the Plan. 
  
 6. This option is not transferable,
except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during your life only by you except as set forth below: 
  
 (a) If you have named a Trust (as defined in the Plan) as beneficiary of this option, this option may be exercised by the Trust after your death; and

  
 (b) All or a portion of your option may be transferred to an
Alternate Payee (as defined in the Plan) if required by the terms of a QDRO (as defined in the Plan), as further described in the Plan. 
  
 7. This option is not an employment or consulting contract and nothing in this option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on the part of the
non-employee director on whose behalf the option right was created, to continue to serve as a director of the Company, or of the Company to continue such non-employee director’s service as a director of the Company. 
  
 8. Any notices provided for in this option or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be
deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to 

  

 4 

 
you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the address specified below or at such other address as
you hereafter designate by written notice to the Company. 
  
 9. This option is
subject to all the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto and its provisions are hereby made a part of this option, including without limitation the provisions of section 5 of the Plan relating to option provisions, and is
further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules, and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this option and those of the Plan, the
provisions of the Plan shall control. 
  
 10. The terms of this option shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws. 
  
 11. This option is not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, but rather is intended to be exempt from the application of Code
Section 409A. To the extent that this option is nevertheless deemed to be subject to Code Section 409A for any reason, this option shall be interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A and Department of Treasury regulations and
other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Grant Date. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event that following the Grant
Date, the Committee (as defined in the Plan) determines that this option may be or become subject to Code Section 409A, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and/or this option or adopt other policies and procedures (including
amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Plan and/or this option from the application of Code Section 409A and/or
preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to this option, or (b) comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

 GRANT OF NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION 
 (Under the Amended and Restated 1991 Equity Incentive Plan) 
  
                             , Amgen Inc. Stock Optionee: 
  
 AMGEN INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to its
Amended and Restated 1991 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), has this day granted to you, the optionee named above, an option to purchase              shares of the $.0001
par value common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) pursuant to the terms hereof. This option is not intended to qualify and will not be treated as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (together with the regulations and other official guidance promulgated thereunder). 
  
 The provisions of your option are as follows: 
  
 1. [select vesting schedule based on director’s length of service] [Subject to the limitations contained herein, this option shall vest on [grant
date]. [Subject to the provisions contained herein, this option shall vest on [one year from grant date], provided that from the date of grant of this option through the vesting date, you have continuously served as a non-employee
director of the Company (as that term is defined in the Plan).] 
  
 2.
(a) The per share exercise price of this option is $            , being not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant of this option. 

 
 (b) To the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations,
payment of the exercise price per share is due in full in cash or check upon exercise of all or any part of this option which has become exercisable by you. However, if at the time of exercise, the Company’s Common Stock is publicly traded and
quoted regularly in the Wall Street Journal, payment of the exercise price may be made by delivery of already-owned shares of Common Stock of a value equal to the exercise price of the shares of Common Stock for which this option is being
exercised. The already-owned shares must have been owned by you for the period required to avoid a charge to the Company’s reported earnings and owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests. Payment may also be
made by a combination of cash and already-owned Common Stock. 
  
 3.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this option may not be exercised unless the shares issuable upon exercise of this option are then registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or, if such
shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Act. 
  
 [select section 4 with acceleration provisions if option not fully vested at date of grant] 
  

 7 

 [4. The term of this option commences on the date hereof and, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the Plan, terminates
on                      (which date shall be no more than seven (7) years from the date this option is granted).] 
  
 4. The term of this option commences on the date hereof and, unless sooner terminated
pursuant to the Plan, terminates on                      (which date shall be no more than seven (7) years from the date this option is
granted). If termination of your relationship as a director of the Company is due to (a) your permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Title II or XVI of the Social Security Act or comparable statute applicable to an Affiliate and
with such permanent and total disability certified by the Social Security Administration, prior to such termination), or (b) your death, then the vesting schedule of unvested portions of the option will be accelerated by twelve (12) months
for each full year that you have been affiliated as a director with the Company. 
  
 However, in any and all circumstances and except to the extent the vesting schedule has been accelerated by the Company in its sole discretion during the term of this option or as a result of your permanent and total
disability or death as provided above, this option may be exercised following termination of your relationship as a director of the Company only as to that number of shares as to which it was exercisable on the date of such termination provisions of
paragraph 1 of this option. For purposes of this option, “termination of your relationship as a director of the Company” shall mean the last date you are a director of the Company. 
  
 5. To the extent specified above, this option may be exercised by delivering a Notice of
Exercise of Stock Option form, together with the exercise price to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the Company may then
require pursuant to section 5 of the Plan. 
  
 6. This option is not transferable,
except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during your life only by you except as set forth below: 
  
 (a) If you have named a Trust (as defined in the Plan) as beneficiary of this option, this option may be exercised by the Trust after your death; and

  
 (b) All or a portion of your option may be transferred to an
Alternate Payee (as defined in the Plan) if required by the terms of a QDRO (as defined in the Plan), as further described in the Plan. 
  
 7. This option is not an employment or consulting contract and nothing in this option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on the part of the
non-employee director on whose behalf the option right was created, to continue to serve as a director of the Company, or of the Company to continue such non-employee director’s service as a director of the Company. 
  

 8 

 8. Any notices provided for in this option or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given
upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the address specified below or at such other address as you hereafter designate
by written notice to the Company. 
  
 9. This option is subject to all the
provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto and its provisions are hereby made a part of this option, including without limitation the provisions of section 5 of the Plan relating to option provisions, and is further subject to all
interpretations, amendments, rules, and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this option and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan
shall control. 
  
 10. The terms of this option shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws. 
  
 11. This option is not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, but rather is intended to be exempt from the application of Code Section 409A. To the extent
that this option is nevertheless deemed to be subject to Code Section 409A for any reason, this option shall be interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued
thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Grant Date. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event that following the Grant Date, the Committee (as defined in
the Plan) determines that this option may be or become subject to Code Section 409A, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and/or this option or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures
with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Plan and/or this option from the application of Code Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment
of the benefits provided with respect to this option, or (b) comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
