 2. Manner of Exercise 
  
 (a) The Optionee may exercise this Stock Option only in the following manner: from time to time on or prior to the
Expiration Date of this Stock Option, the Optionee may give written notice to the Committee of his or her election to purchase some or all of the vested Option Shares purchasable at the time of such notice. This notice shall specify the number of
Option Shares to be purchased.

for the Option Shares may be made by one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Committee; (ii) by the Optionee delivering (or attesting to the ownership of) shares of Stock

exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company to pay the option purchase price, provided that in the event the Optionee chooses to pay the
option purchase price as

and other agreements as the Committee shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; or (iv) a combination of (i), (ii) and (iii) above. Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. 
  
 The delivery of certificates representing the Option Shares will be
contingent upon the Company’s receipt from the Optionee of full payment for the Option Shares, as set forth above and any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Company may require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Stock to be
purchased pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options under the Plan and any subsequent resale of the shares of Stock will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 
  
 (b) Certificates for the shares of Stock purchased upon exercise of this Stock Option. shall be issued and delivered to the
Optionee upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Committee with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations m connection with such issuance and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the Committee as to such
compliance shall be final and binding on the Optionee. The Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Stock subject to this Stock Option unless and until this Stock
Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall have issued and delivered the shares to the Optionee, and the Optionee’s name shall have been entered as the stockholder of record on the books of the Company.
Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and other ownership rights with respect to such shares of Stock. 
  
 (c) The minimum number of shares with respect to which this Stock Option may be exercised at anyone time shall be 100 shares, unless the number of shares
with respect to which this Stock Option is being exercised is the total number of shares subject to exercise under this Stock Option at the time. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date hereof.

  
 3. Termination as Director. If the Optionee ceases to
be a Director of the Company, the period within which to exercise this Stock Option may be subject to earlier termination as set forth below. 
  
 (a) Termination Due to Death. If the Optionee ceases to be a Director by reason of the Optionee’s death, this Stock Option shall become fully
exercisable and may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee’s legal representative or legatee for a period of twelve months from the date of death or until the Expiration Date, if earlier. 
  
 (b) Termination Due to Disability. If the Optionee ceases to be a
director by reason of the Optionee’s Disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), this Stock Option shall become fully exercisable and may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee for a period of one year from the date of
termination or until the Expiration Date, if earlier. 
  
 (c)
Other Termination. If the Optionee ceases to be a director for any reason other than death or disability, and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any portion of this Stock Option may be exercised by the Optionee, to the extent
exercisable on the date of termination, for a period of three months from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date, if earlier. Any portion of this Stock Option that is not exercisable at such time shall terminate immediately and be of
no further force or effect. 
  
 (d) Miscellaneous. The
Administrator’s determination of the reason for termination of the Optionee’s directorship shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and his or her representatives or legatees. Any portion of this Stock Option that is unvested after
the application of this Section 3 shall be canceled immediately upon any termination of directorship and shall not be exercisable by the Optionee. 

 4. Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Stock Option shall
be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan. Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein. 
  
 5. Transferability. This Agreement is personal to the Optionee, is
non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Stock Option is exercisable, during the Optionee’s lifetime, only by the Optionee, and
thereafter, only by the Optionee’s legal representative or legatee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee may transfer this Stock Option to members of his immediate family, to trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to
partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, 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 Stock Option. 
  
 6. Non-Compete Agreement. The Optionee is receiving the Stock Option
provided for herein in part because the Company has determined that the Optionee is a key contributor to the continued success of the Company. As such, the Optionee is privy to certain proprietary information which the Company considers to be
competition sensitive. The Company, therefore, would be materially harmed were the Optionee to leave the Company and perform services on behalf of a competitor. Accordingly, in consideration of the Optionee’s receipt of the Stock Option, the
Optionee covenants and agrees that, for a period of two (2) years following the termination of the Optionee’s affiliation with the Company (whether as an employee or non-employee director), the Optionee shall not, anywhere in the world, own,
manage, operate, join, control, promote, invest or participate in or be connected with in any capacity (either as an employee, employer, trustee, consultant, agent, principal, partner, corporate officer, director, creditor, owner or shareholder or
in any other individual or representative capacity) with any business individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity which is engaged wholly or partly in the design, manufacture, development, distribution, marketing or sales of any
products which compete with the Company’s then current lines of business. The Optionee agrees that this provision is reasonable in view of the relevant market for the Company’s products and services and that any breach hereof would result
in continuing and irreparable harm to the Company. The foregoing, however, shall not prevent the Optionee from making passive investments in a competitive enterprise whose shares are publicly traded if such investment constitutes less than five
percent (5%) of such enterprise’s outstanding capital stock. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 6, if Optionee is an employee or resident of a state in which non-compete provisions of the type set forth in the paragraph 6 are not
enforceable, then this paragraph 6 shall not apply, and instead, the Optionee shall be subject to the following non-solicitation obligation: Optionee, for a period of two years following the termination of Optionee’s affiliation with the
Company, shall not directly or indirectly (1) induce, solicit, request or advise any Customers (as defined below) to patronize any business which competes with any business of the Company for which Optionee has had any management responsibility
during his affiliation with Company; or (2) entice, solicit, request or advise any employee of business of the Company for which Optionee has had management responsibility during his affiliation with Company to accept employment (or other
affiliation) with any person, firm or business which competes with any such business of the Company. As used above, “Customers” means all customers of any business of the Company for which the Optionee had contact or management
responsibility during the last two years of his affiliation with Company. 

 7. Miscellaneous 
  
 (a) Notice hereunder shall be given to the Company at its principal place of business, and shall be given to the Optionee at
the address set forth below, or in either case at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing. 
  
 (b) This Stock Option does not confer upon the Optionee any rights with respect to continuance as a Director of the Company. 
  
 (c) Pursuant to Section 14 of the Plan, the Committee may at any time amend
or cancel any outstanding portion of this Stock Option, but no such action may be taken which adversely affects the Optionee’s rights under this Agreement without the Optionee’s consent.

 4. Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Stock
Option shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan. Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein. 
  
 5. Transferability. This Agreement is personal to the Optionee,
is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Stock Option is exercisable, during the Optionee’s lifetime, only by the Optionee, and
thereafter, only by the Optionee’s legal representative or legatee. 
  
 6. Tax Withholding. The Optionee shall, not later than the date as of which the exercise of this Stock Option becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company or make
arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for payment of any Federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. The Optionee may elect to have the minimum tax withholding obligation satisfied, in whole
or in part, by (i) authorizing the Company to withhold from shares of Stock to be issued, or (ii) transferring to the Company, a number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the minimum required tax withholding
amount due. 
  
 7. Non-Compete Agreement. The
Optionee is receiving the Stock Option provided for herein in part because the Company has determined that the Optionee is a key contributor to the continued success of the Company. As such, the Optionee is privy to certain proprietary information
which the Company considers to be competition sensitive. The Company, therefore, would be materially harmed were the Optionee to leave the Company and perform services on behalf of a competitor. Accordingly, in consideration of the Optionee’s
receipt of the Stock Option, the Optionee covenants and agrees that, for a period of two (2) years following the termination of the Optionee’s affiliation with the Company (whether as an employee or non-employee director), the Optionee shall
not, anywhere in the world, own, manage, operate, join, control, promote, invest or participate in or be connected with in any capacity (either as an employee, employer, trustee, consultant, agent, principal, partner, corporate officer, director,
creditor, owner or shareholder or in any other individual or representative capacity) with any business individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity which is engaged wholly or partly in the design, manufacture, development,
distribution, marketing or sales of any products which compete with the Company’s then current lines of business. The Optionee agrees that this provision is reasonable in view of the relevant market for the Company’s products and services
and that any breach hereof would result in continuing and irreparable harm to the Company. The foregoing, however, shall not prevent the Optionee from making passive investments in a competitive enterprise whose shares are publicly traded if such
investment constitutes less than five percent (5%) of such enterprise’s outstanding capital stock. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 7, if Optionee is an employee or resident of a state in which non-compete provisions of the type
set forth in the paragraph 7 are not enforceable, then this paragraph 7 shall not apply, and instead, the Optionee shall be subject to the following non-solicitation obligation: Optionee, for a period of two years following the termination of
Optionee’s affiliation with the Company, shall not directly or indirectly (1) induce, solicit, request or advise any Customers (as defined below) to patronize any business which competes with any business of the Company for which Optionee has
had any management responsibility during his affiliation with Company; or 
  

 4 

 (2) entice, solicit, request or advise any employee of business of the Company for which Optionee has had management
responsibility during his affiliation with Company to accept employment (or other affiliation) with any person, firm or business which competes with any such business of the Company. As used above, “Customers” means all customers of any
business of the Company for which the Optionee had contact or management responsibility during the last two years of his affiliation with Company. 
  
 8. Effect of Employment Agreement. If the Optionee is a party to an employment agreement with the Company and any provisions set forth in
such employment agreement conflict with the provisions set forth in this Stock Option Agreement, the provisions set forth in such employment agreement shall override such conflicting provisions set forth herein. 
  
 9. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) Notice hereunder shall be given to the Company at its principal place of
business, and shall be given to the Optionee at the address set forth below, or in either case at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing. 
  
 (b) This Stock Option does not confer upon the Optionee any rights with respect to continuance of employment by the Company
or any Subsidiary. 
  
 (c) Pursuant to Section 14 of the Plan, the
Committee may at any time amend or cancel any outstanding portion of this Stock Option, but no such action may be taken which adversely affects the Optionee’s rights under this Agreement without the Optionee’s consent.
