	  	NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT            

 

 THE OPTION IS SUBJECT TO, AND MAY BE EXERCISED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF
THE PLAN. ONLY CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN ARE INCLUDED IN THIS AGREEMENT. A COPY OF THE PLAN IS ATTACHED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY. 
 Rovi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the Optionee agree that the terms and conditions set forth herein shall apply to the stock options granted to the Optionee, on the
date of grant, for the number of Optioned Shares and exercisable at the Option Price, all as identified in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Notice”) to which this Agreement is attached. All capitalized terms not defined herein or in
the Notice shall have those meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. 
 1. Term of Option and Exercise of Option. Subject to the provisions
of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Optionee’s not experiencing a termination of employment of other business relationship during the vesting period, this Option may be exercised by the Optionee during a period of
seven (7) years from the date of grant in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Notice (the “Expiration Date”) unless sooner terminated or cancelled in accordance with the Plan. If this Option expires on a stock exchange
holiday or weekend day, this Option will expire on the last trading day prior to the holiday or weekend. The schedule set forth in the Notice refers to the earliest dates on which this Option may be exercised with respect to the percentages of
Optioned Shares determined in accordance with such schedule as of such dates, and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, this Option may be exercised with respect to all or any part of such percentages of the Optioned Shares at any
time on or after such dates prior to the Expiration Date. The Optionee must be and remain an employee, consultant, director or independent contractor in service to the Company, or of any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation of the Company
(as such terms are defined in Sections 424 (e) and (f) of the Internal Revenue Code), during the entire period commencing with the date of grant of this Option and ending with each date determined in accordance with the exercise schedule
set forth in the Notice in order to exercise this Option with respect to the Optioned Shares first becoming exercisable on such date. Optionee shall be solely responsible for exercising this Option, if at all, prior to its Expiration Date. The
Company shall have no obligation to notify Optionee of the Option’s expiration. 
 2. Leave of Absence. During any authorized leave
of absence, the vesting of the Option shall be suspended after the leave of absence exceeds a period of thirty (30) days. Vesting of the Option shall resume upon the Optionee’s termination of the leave of absence and return to service
to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries. The vesting schedule of the Option shall be extended by the length of the suspension. 
 3.
Termination by Reason of Death, Disability or Retirement. If the Optionee’s employment or other business relationship with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of the Optionee’s death, Disability or
Retirement, this Option may thereafter be exercised, but only to the extent it was exercisable on the date of the Optionee’s death, Disability or Retirement, by (i) in the case of death, the legal representative of the Optionee’s
estate or by any other person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by reason of such death or (ii) in the case of Disability or Retirement, Optionee, for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of death, Disability or
Retirement, as applicable, or until the Expiration Date of the Option, if earlier. The Administrator shall have sole authority and discretion to determine whether the Optionee’s employment or other business relationship has been terminated by
reason of Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Optionee’s jurisdiction that would likely result in the treatment that
applies to this Option upon termination of Optionee’s employment or other business relationship by reason of Retirement (“Retirement Treatment”) being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the Retirement Treatment provided in
this Section 2 will not apply and the treatment provided in Section 4 of this Agreement will apply instead. 
 4. Termination for
Cause. If the Optionee’s employment or other business relationship with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries is terminated for Cause, then this Option, to the extent not vested as of Optionee’s termination date, shall immediately
terminate and be of no further force and effect. In the event of termination for Cause, this Option may thereafter be exercised, to the extent that was vested on the date of the Optionee’s termination, for 30 days from the date of such
termination or until the expiration of the stated term of the Option, if earlier. 
 5. Other Termination. Unless otherwise determined by
the Administrator, if the Optionee’s employment or other business relationship with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason other than death, Disability, Retirement, or for Cause, then this Option, to the extent not vested
as of Optionee’s termination date, shall be forfeited immediately upon such termination, and Optionee shall have no further rights with respect to this 

  
 1 

 
Option or the shares of stock underlying that portion of this Option that have not yet vested. Accordingly, this Option may thereafter be exercised, to the extent it was exercisable on the date
of such termination, for three (3) months from the date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of the Option, if earlier. In jurisdictions requiring notice in advance of an effective termination of the employment or
other business relationship with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, Optionee shall be deemed terminated upon the actual cessation of providing services to the Company notwithstanding any required notice period that must be fulfilled before a
termination of the employment or business relationship can be effective under applicable laws. 
 6. Non-transferability of Option. This
Option shall not be transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and this Option may be exercised during the Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee. Any purported transfer or assignment of this Option shall be void and
of no effect, and shall give the Company the right to terminate this Option as of the date of such purported transfer or assignment. 
 7.
Method of Exercise. This Option may be exercised with respect to all or any part of the Optioned Shares that are exercisable at time of exercise, by providing irrevocable instructions to a designated brokerage firm specifying the number of
Optioned Shares as to which this Option is so exercised, and making full payment to the Company in cash, electronic transfer or by check of the Option Price for the Optioned Shares with respect to which this Option is exercised and any applicable
withholding taxes in accordance with Section 8 below. 
 If the Company’s outstanding Common Stock is registered under
Section 12 (g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), at the time this option is exercised, then the Option Price also may be paid as follows: 

a. in shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by the Optionee for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the
Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at fair market value on the exercise date; 
 b. through a
special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee (i) is to provide irrevocable instructions to a designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased Optioned Shares and remit to the Company, out of the
sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Option Price payable for the purchased Optioned Shares plus all applicable federal and state income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Company
by reason of such purchase and (ii) to instruct the designated brokerage firm to provide directives to the Company to deliver certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to effect the sale transaction;

 c. through a special margin commitment procedure pursuant to which the Optionee elects to exercise his or her vested Optioned
Shares and then pledge those Optioned Shares purchased into a margin account with a brokerage firm as security for a loan from the brokerage firm in an amount equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Optioned Shares. The brokerage firm is then
irrevocably committed to forward sufficient funds to the Company to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased Optioned Shares plus all applicable federal and state income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Company
by reason of such purchase. The Optionee is required to provide written directives to the Company to deliver concurrently certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm; or 

d. any combination of the foregoing. 
 As soon as practical after receipt of notice of exercise, the Company shall, without transfer or issue tax or other incidental expense to the Optionee or his or her successor, transfer and deliver thereto
at the office of the Company or such other place as may be mutually agreeable a certificate or certificates for such shares of its Common Stock, or initiate electronic delivery of such shares to the designated brokerage firm; provided, however, that
the time of such delivery may be postponed by the Company for such period as may be required for it with reasonable diligence to comply with applicable registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any applicable listing
requirements of any national securities exchange, and requirements under any other laws or regulations applicable to the issuance or transfer of such shares. 
 8. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any change in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, recapitalization, mergers, consolidations,
split-up, combinations or exchanges of shares and the like, the aggregate number or class of shares subject to this Option immediately prior to such event shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board of Directors in accordance with the terms of the
Plan.

 9. Withholding and Employment Taxes. 

(i) Optionee is responsible for, and by accepting this Option agrees to bear, all taxes of any nature, including withholding taxes,
interest or penalties arising out of the grant of this Option, the vesting or exercise of this Option or the subsequent sale of the Optioned Shares, or any violation of Code Section 409A that impacts this Option, that are legally imposed upon
Optionee in connection with this Option, and the Company does not assume, and will not be liable to any party for, any cost or liability arising in connection with such tax liability legally imposed on Optionee. The Company has not provided any tax
advice with respect to this Option or the disposition of the Shares. Optionee should obtain advice from an appropriate independent professional adviser with respect to the taxation implications of any aspect of this Option, including the grant,
vesting or exercise of this Option or the subsequent sale of any Shares. 
 (ii) In the event that the Company or the
Optionee’s employer, including any Subsidiary qualified to deduct tax at source (the “Employer”), is required to withhold any amount (including in connection with income tax, employment or payroll taxes, social security contributions
or other similar amounts, with such obligation in aggregate referred to herein as the “Withholding Obligation”) as a result of any event occurring in connection with this Option, the Optionee shall make a cash payment to the Company as
necessary to cover all applicable Withholding Obligations at or prior to the time the event giving rise to the Withholding Obligation occurs; provided that (a) the Company has the right to withhold a portion of the Optioned Shares otherwise to
be delivered upon exercise of this Option having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the Withholding Obligation in accordance with such rules as the Company may from time to time establish, (b) the Company or the Employer has the right,
and the Optionee in accepting this grant explicitly authorizes the Company, to deduct an amount equal to the Withholding Obligation from the Optionee’s compensation or (c) the Company may establish alternative procedures to ensure
satisfaction of all applicable Withholding Obligations arising in connection with this Option. The Optionee will receive a cash refund for any payment of cash or fraction of a surrendered share not necessary to satisfy the Withholding Obligations.

 (iii) Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for any tax-related item legally due by Optionee is and
remains Optionee’s responsibility and that the Company and or the Employer (a) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any such tax items in connection with any aspect of this Option, including the grant,
vesting or exercise of this Option or the subsequent sale of the Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option; and (b) do not commit to structure the terms or any aspect of this Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for
such tax items. The Company may refuse to honor the exercise of this Option and refuse to deliver the Optioned Shares if Optionee fails to comply with Optionee’s obligations in connection with the satisfaction of the Withholding Obligations.

 10. Tax Status. The Optionee’s treatment of shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of this nonstatutory stock option may have
significant tax consequences. The Optionee acknowledges that he or she has been encouraged to obtain the advice of independent tax counsel regarding the income tax consequences of the receipt and exercise of the Option granted hereby and of the
disposition of Common Stock acquired upon exercise hereof. The Optionee acknowledges that he or she has not relied and will not rely upon any advice or representations by the Company or by its employees or representatives with respect to the tax
treatment of the options granted hereunder. 
 11. No Right to Continued Relationship, Optionee Acknowledgements. By accepting the grant
of this Option, Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time unless otherwise provided in the
Plan or this Agreement. Optionee acknowledges that all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company. Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with
Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of Employer to terminate Optionee’s employment or service relationship at any time with or without cause and it is expressly agreed and understood that employment is terminable at the will of
either party, insofar as permitted by law. Optionee agrees that this Option is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy,
end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments insofar as permitted by law. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon the Optionee any right to a continued employment with the
Company and its Subsidiaries or in any way limit the right of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate such relationship at any time. In the event that Optionee is not an employee of the Company, this Option grant will not be interpreted to form
an employment contract or service relationship with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary of the Company. Optionee acknowledges that the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, may increase or decrease in the future, and cannot be
predicted with certainty. In consideration of the grant of this Option, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this Option or diminution in value of this Option or Optioned Shares purchased through
exercise of this Option resulting from Optionee’s Termination of Employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of applicable laws).

 12. Compliance with Securities and Other Laws. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any
shares of its Common Stock hereunder for such period as may reasonably be required for it to comply with any applicable requirements of: (i) the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (iii) applicable state
securities laws; (iv) any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed; and (v) any other law or regulation applicable to the issuance of such shares. 

13. Notices. All notices and other communications of any kind which either party to this Agreement may be required or may desire to serve on the
other party hereto in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and may be delivered by personal service or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, deposited in the United States mail with the postage thereon fully
prepaid, addressed to the parties at their respective addresses set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. Service of any such notice or other communication so made by mail shall be deemed complete on the date of actual delivery as shown by the
addressee’s registry or certification receipt or at the expiration of the third (3rd) business day after the date of mailing, whichever is earlier in time. Either party may from time to time by notice in writing served upon the other as
aforesaid, designate a different mailing address or a different person to which such notices or other communications are thereafter to be addressed or delivered. 
 14. Data Transfer. Optionee explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Optionee’s personal data as described in this document by
and among, as applicable, the Employer or the Company, including any of its Subsidiaries, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan. Optionee understands that the Company, its

the Data by contacting the Stock Plan Administrator at the Company. Optionee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing
Optionee’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data, as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom Optionee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option. Optionee
understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage participation in the Plan. Optionee may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data, require
any necessary amendments to the Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting the Stock Plan Administrator in writing. Optionee understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect Optionee’s
ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusing to consent or withdrawing consent, Optionee may contact the Stock Plan Administrator at the Company.

which assumption will be binding on all optionees); (iii) a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but after which the stockholders of the Company (other than any stockholder which merges (or which owns or controls another
corporation which merges) with the Company in such merger) cease to own their shares or other equity interests in the Company; (iv) the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (v) any other transaction which qualifies as

 The Company and the Optionee agree that the Option described in this Notice of Stock Option Grant (the
“Notice”) is governed by the provisions of the Agreement attached to and made a part of this document. The Optionee acknowledges receipt of this Notice and the Agreement, represents that the Optionee has read and is familiar

 THE OPTION IS SUBJECT TO, AND MAY BE EXERCISED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF
THE PLAN. ONLY CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN ARE INCLUDED IN THIS AGREEMENT. A COPY OF THE PLAN IS ATTACHED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY. 
 Rovi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the Optionee agree that the terms and conditions set forth herein shall apply to the stock options granted to the
Optionee, on the date of grant, for the number of Optioned Shares and exercisable at the Option Price, all as identified in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Notice”) to which this Agreement is attached. All capitalized
terms not defined herein or in the Notice shall have those meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. 
 1. Term of Option and Exercise of
Option. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, this option may be exercised by the Optionee during a period of seven (7) years from the date of grant in accordance with the schedule set forth
in the Notice. The schedule set forth in the Notice refers to the earliest dates on which this Option may be exercised with respect to the percentages of Optioned Shares determined in accordance with such schedule as of such dates, and, subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein, this Option may be exercised with respect to all or any part of such percentages of the Optioned Shares at any time on or after such dates prior to the expiration of such seven (7) year period. The
Optionee must be and remain a director of the Company, or of any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation (the “Subsidiary”) of the Company (as such terms are defined in Sections 424 (e) and (f) of the Internal
Revenue Code), during the entire period commencing with the date of grant of this Option and ending with each date determined in accordance with the exercise schedule set forth in the Notice in order to exercise this Option with respect to the
Optioned Shares first becoming exercisable on such date. 
 2. Leave of Absence. During any authorized leave of absence, the vesting of
the Option shall be suspended after the leave of absence exceeds a period of thirty (30) days. Vesting of the Option shall resume upon the Optionee’s termination of the leave of absence and return to service to the Company and/or its
Subsidiaries. The vesting schedule of the Option shall be extended by the length of the suspension. 
 3. Termination by Reason of
Death. If the Optionee’s business relationship with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of the Optionee’s death, this Option may thereafter be exercised, but only to the extent it was exercisable on the date of
the Optionee’s death, by the Optionee’s estate for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of death, or until the expiration of the stated term of the Option, if earlier. The Optionee’s estate shall mean the duly authorized
executor of the Optionee’s last will or the duly authorized administrator or special administrator of the Optionee’s probate estate or any other duly authorized legal representative of the Optionee’s estate or any person who acquires
the right to exercise this Option by reason of the Optionee’s death under the Optionee’s will or the laws of intestate succession. 

4. Termination by Reason of Disability. If the Optionee’s business relationship with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries is terminated by
reason of the Optionee’s Disability, this Option may thereafter be exercised, to the extent it was exercisable on the date of such termination, for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of such termination, or until the expiration
of the stated term of the Option, if earlier. The Administrator shall have sole authority and discretion to determine whether the Optionee’s business relationship has been terminated by reason of Disability. 

5. Termination for Cause. If the Optionee’s business relationship with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries is terminated for Cause, this
Option shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect. 
 6. Other Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the
Administrator, if the Optionee’s business relationship with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or for Cause, this Option may thereafter be exercised, to the extent it was exercisable on
the date of such termination, for twelve (12) months from the date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of the Option, if earlier. 
 7. Non-transferability of Option. This option shall not be transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and this Option may be exercised during the Optionee’s lifetime
only by the Optionee. Notwithstanding 

  
 1 

 
the foregoing, with the approval of the Administrator, the Optionee may transfer this Option, without consideration for the transfer, to members of Optionee’s immediate family, to trusts for
the benefit of such family members, to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, or to charitable organizations, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of
the Plan and this Agreement. Any purported transfer or assignment of this Option not in compliance with the foregoing shall be void and of no effect, and shall give the Company the right to terminate this Option as of the date of such purported
transfer or assignment. 
 8. Method of Exercise. This Option may be exercised with respect to all or any part of the Optioned Shares
that are exercisable at time of exercise, by providing irrevocable instructions to a designated brokerage firm specifying the number of Optioned Shares as to which this Option is so exercised, and making full payment to the Company in cash,
electronic transfer or by check of the Option Price for the Optioned Shares with respect to which this Option is exercised and any applicable withholding taxes in accordance with Section 9 below. 

If the Company’s outstanding Common Stock is registered under Section 12 (g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“1934 Act”), at the time this Option is exercised, then the Option Price also may be paid as follows: 

a. in shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by the Optionee for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the
Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at fair market value on the exercise date; 
 b. through a
special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee (i) is to provide irrevocable written instructions to a designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased Optioned Shares and remit to the Company, out
of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Option Price payable for the purchased Optioned Shares plus all applicable federal and state income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the
Company by reason of such purchase and (ii) concurrently is to provide written directives to the Company to deliver certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to effect the sale transaction; 

c. through a special margin commitment procedure pursuant to which the Optionee elects to exercise his or her vested Optioned Shares and
then pledge those Optioned Shares purchased into a margin account with a brokerage firm as security for a loan from the brokerage firm in an amount equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Optioned Shares. The brokerage firm is then irrevocably
committed to forward sufficient funds to the Company to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased Optioned Shares plus all applicable federal and state income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Company by reason
of such purchase. The Optionee is required to provide written directives to the Company to deliver concurrently certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm; or 

d. any combination of the foregoing. 
 As soon as practical after receipt of notice of exercise of this Option by Optionee, the Company shall, without transfer or issue tax or other incidental expense to the Optionee or his or her successor,
transfer and deliver thereto at the office of the Company or such other place as may be mutually agreeable a certificate or certificates for such shares of its Common Stock or initiate electronic delivery of such shares to the designated brokerage
firm; provided, however, that the time of such delivery may be postponed by the Company for such period as may be required for it with reasonable diligence to comply with applicable registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, any applicable listing requirements of any national securities exchange, and requirements under any other laws or regulations applicable to the issuance or transfer of such shares. 
 9. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any change in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, recapitalization, mergers, consolidations,
split up, combinations or exchanges of shares and the like, the aggregate number or class of shares to this Option immediately prior to such event shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board of Directors in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

 10. Withholding and Employment Taxes. 
 (i) Optionee is responsible for, and by accepting this Option agrees to bear, all taxes of any nature, including withholding taxes, interest or penalties arising out of the grant of this Option, the
vesting or exercise of this Option or the subsequent sale of the Optioned Shares, or any violation of Code Section 409A that impacts this Option, that are legally imposed upon Optionee in connection with this Option, and

the Company does not assume, and will not be liable to any party for, any cost or liability arising in connection with such tax liability legally imposed on Optionee. The Company has not provided
any tax advice with respect to this Option or the disposition of the Shares. Optionee should obtain advice from an appropriate independent professional adviser with respect to the taxation implications of any aspect of this Option, including the
grant, vesting or exercise of this Option or the subsequent sale of any Shares. 
 (ii) In the event that the Company, including
any Subsidiary qualified to deduct tax at source, is required to withhold any amount (including in connection with income tax, employment or payroll taxes, social security contributions or other similar amounts, with such obligation in aggregate
referred to herein as the “Withholding Obligation”) as a result of any event occurring in connection with this Option, the Optionee shall make a cash payment to the Company as necessary to cover all applicable Withholding
Obligations at or prior to the time the event giving rise to the Withholding Obligation occurs; provided that (a) the Company has the right to withhold a portion of the Optioned Shares otherwise to be delivered upon exercise of this Option
having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the Withholding Obligation in accordance with such rules as the Company may from time to time establish, (b) the Company has the right, and the Optionee in accepting this grant explicitly
authorizes the Company, to deduct an amount equal to the Withholding Obligation from the Optionee’s compensation or (c) the Company may establish alternative procedures to ensure satisfaction of all applicable Withholding Obligations
arising in connection with this Option. The Optionee will receive a cash refund for any payment of cash or fraction of a surrendered share not necessary to satisfy the Withholding Obligations. 

(iii) Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for any tax-related item legally due by Optionee is and remains
Optionee’s responsibility and that the Company (a) makes no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any such tax items in connection with any aspect of this Option, including the grant, vesting or exercise of this
Option or the subsequent sale of the Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option; and (b) does not commit to structure the terms or any aspect of this Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for such tax items. The Company
may refuse to honor the exercise of this Option and refuse to deliver the Optioned Shares if Optionee fails to comply with Optionee’s obligations in connection with the satisfaction of the Withholding Obligations. 

11. Tax Status. The Optionee’s treatment of shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of this nonstatutory stock option may have significant
tax consequences. The Optionee acknowledges that he or she has been encouraged to obtain the advice of independent tax counsel regarding the federal and state income tax consequences of the receipt and exercise of the Option granted hereby and of
the disposition of Common Stock acquired upon exercise hereof. The Optionee acknowledges that he or she has not relied and will not rely upon any advice or representations by the Company or by its employees or representatives with respect to the tax
treatment of the options granted hereunder. 
 12. Not an Incentive Stock Option. This Option shall not be treated as an “incentive
stock option” as such term defined in Section 422 of the code. 
 13. No Right to Continued Relationship; Optionee
Acknowledgments. By accepting the grant of this Option, Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company
at any time unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement. Optionee acknowledges that all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon
the Optionee any right to a continued business relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries or in any way limit the right of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate such relationship at any time. This Option grant will not be interpreted
to form an employment contract or service relationship with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary of the Company. Optionee acknowledges that the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, may increase or decrease in the future, and
cannot be predicted with certainty. In consideration of the grant of this Option, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this Option or diminution in value of this Option or Optioned Shares purchased
through exercise of this Option resulting from Optionee’s termination of a business relationship by the Company (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of applicable laws). 

14. Compliance with Securities and Other Laws. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of its Common Stock hereunder for such
period as may reasonably be required for it to comply with any applicable requirements of: (i) the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (iii) applicable state securities laws; (iv) any applicable
listing requirement of any stock exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed; and (v) any other law or regulation applicable to the issuance of such shares.
