“Company”) and the Participant agree as follows. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan. 

1. Grant of Option. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the
Participant the number of Options provided in the Grant Notice (with each Option representing the right to purchase one share of Common Stock), at an Exercise Price per share as provided in the Grant Notice. The Company may make one or more
additional grants of Options to the Participant under this Option Agreement by providing the Participant with a new grant notice, which may also include any terms and conditions differing from this Option Agreement to the extent provided therein.
The Company reserves all rights with respect to the granting of additional Options hereunder and makes no implied promise to grant additional Options. 

2. Vesting. Subject to the conditions contained herein and in the Plan, the Options shall vest as provided in the Grant Notice.

 3. Exercise of Options Following Termination. The provisions of Section 7(c)(iii) of the Plan are incorporated herein
by reference and made a part hereof. 
 4. Method of Exercising Options. The Options may be exercised by the delivery of notice
of the number of Options that are being exercised accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price applicable to the Options so exercised. Such notice shall be delivered either (a) in writing to the Company at its principal office or at
such other address as may be established by the Committee, to the attention of the Company’s General Counsel or its designee; or (b) to a third-party plan administrator as may be arranged for by the Company or the Committee from time to
time for purposes of the administration of outstanding Options under the Plan, in the case of either (a) or (b), as communicated to the Participant by the Company from time to time. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price may be made using any
of the methods described in Section 7(d)(i) or (ii) of the Plan; provided that the Participant shall obtain written consent from the Committee prior to the use of the method described in Section 7(d)(ii)(A) of the Plan. 

5. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. Following the exercise of an Option hereunder, as promptly as practical after receipt of
such notification and full payment of such Exercise Price and any required income or other tax withholding amount (as provided in Section 9 hereof), the Company shall issue or transfer, or cause such issue or transfer, to the Participant the
number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Options have been so exercised, and shall either (a) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Participant a certificate or certificates therefor, registered in the Participant’s
name or (b) cause such shares of Common Stock to be credited to the Participant’s account at the third-party plan administrator. 

 6. Company; Participant. 

(a) The term “Company” as used in this Option Agreement with reference to employment shall include the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 (b) Whenever the word “Participant” is used in any provision of this Option Agreement under circumstances where the provision
should logically be construed to apply to the executors, the administrators, or the person or persons to whom the Options may be transferred in accordance with Section 13(b) of the Plan, the word “Participant” shall be deemed to
include such person or persons. 
 7. Non-Transferability. The Options are not
transferable by the Participant; provided, however, to the extent permitted by the Committee in accordance with Section 13(b) of the Plan, vested Options may be transferred to Permitted Transferees. Except as otherwise provided
herein, no assignment or transfer of the Options, or of the rights represented thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall vest in the assignee or transferee any interest or right herein whatsoever, but
immediately upon such assignment or transfer the Options shall terminate and become of no further effect. 
 8. Rights as
Shareholder. The Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any share of Common Stock covered by an Option unless and until the Participant shall have become the holder of record or the beneficial owner of such share
of Common Stock, and no adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights in respect of such share of Common Stock for which the record date is prior to the date upon which the Participant shall become the holder of record or
the beneficial owner thereof. 
 9. Tax Withholding. The provisions of Section 13(d) of the Plan are incorporated herein
by reference and made a part hereof. 
 10. Notice. Every notice or other communication relating to this Option Agreement
between the Company and the Participant shall be in writing, which may include by electronic mail, and shall be mailed to or delivered to the party for whom it is intended at such address as may from time to time be designated by such party in a
notice mailed or delivered to the other party as herein provided; provided that, unless and until some other address be so designated, all notices or communications by the Participant to the Company shall be mailed or delivered to the Company
at its principal executive office, to the attention of the Company’s General Counsel or its designee, and all notices or communications by the Company to the Participant may be given to the Participant personally or may be mailed to the
Participant at the Participant’s last known address, as reflected in the Company’s records. Notwithstanding the above, all notices and communications between the Participant and any third-party plan administrator shall be mailed,
delivered, transmitted or sent in accordance with the procedures established by such third-party plan administrator and communicated to the Participant from time to time. 

11. No Right to Continued Service. This Option Agreement does not confer upon the Participant any right to continue as an
employee or service provider to the Company. 
 12. Binding Effect. This Option Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs,
executors, administrators and successors of the parties hereto. 
 13. Waiver and Amendments. Except as otherwise set forth in
Section 12 of the Plan, any waiver, alteration, amendment or modification of any of the terms of this Option Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by the parties hereto; provided, however, that any such
waiver, alteration, amendment or modification is consented to on the Company’s behalf by the Committee. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent
occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver.

that the Participant forfeit any gain realized on the exercise of the Options or the disposition of any shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of the Options, and repay such gain to the Company. In addition, if the Participant receives any

the Participant shall be required to repay any such excess amount to the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, all Options shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with applicable
law. 
 15. Governing Law. This Option Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Option Agreement, the Grant Notice or the Plan to the contrary, if any suit or claim is instituted by the Participant or the Company
relating to this Option Agreement, the Grant Notice or the Plan, the Participant hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the courts of Delaware. 

16. Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency
between the terms and provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Option Agreement (including the Grant Notice), the Plan shall govern and control. 

17. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s
participation in the Plan, on the Options and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any
additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
