GRANT OF OPTION

 

2.1         Grant
of Option. In consideration of Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or any Affiliate
and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant
Date”), the Company irrevocably grants to Participant the Option to purchase any part or all of an aggregate of the number
of shares of Stock set forth in the Grant Notice, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, subject

the Option shall be an Incentive Stock Option to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

2.2         Exercise
Price. The exercise price of the shares of Stock subject to the Option shall be as set forth in the Grant Notice, without commission
or other charge; provided, however, that the price per share of the shares of Stock subject to the Option shall not
be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Option
is designated as an Incentive Stock Option and Participant is a Greater Than 10% Stockholder as of the Date of Grant, the exercise
price per share of the shares of Stock subject to the Option shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of
Stock on the Grant Date.

 

2.3         Consideration
to the Company. In consideration of the grant of the Option by the Company, Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient

and its Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time
for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between

PERIOD OF EXERCISABILITY

 

3.1         Commencement
of Exercisability.

 

(a)          Subject
to Sections 3.2, 3.3, 5.11 and 5.17 hereof, the Option shall become vested and exercisable in such amounts and at such times as
are set forth in the Grant Notice.

 

(b)          No
portion of the Option which has not become vested and exercisable at the date of Participant’s Termination of Service shall
thereafter become vested and exercisable, except as may be otherwise provided by the Administrator or as set forth in a written
agreement between the Company and Participant.         

 

(c)          Notwithstanding
Section 3.1(a) hereof and the Grant Notice, but subject to Section 3.1(b) hereof, in the event of a Change in Control the Option
shall be treated pursuant to Section 13.2 of the Plan.

 

3.2         Duration
of Exercisability. The installments provided for in the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice are cumulative. Each
such installment which becomes vested and exercisable pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice shall remain
vested and exercisable until it becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof.

 

3.3         Expiration
of Option. The Option may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following events:

 

(a)          The
Expiration Date set forth in the Grant Notice, which shall in no event be more than ten (10) years from the Grant Date;

 

(b)          The
expiration of three (3) months from the date of Participant’s Termination of Service, unless such termination occurs by reason
of Participant’s death or disability; or

 

(c)          The
expiration of one (1) year from the date of Participant’s Termination of Service by reason of Participant’s death or
disability.

 

3.4         Special
Tax Consequences. Participant acknowledges that, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time
the Option is granted) of all shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options, including the Option (if applicable),
are exercisable for the first time by Participant in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the Option and such other options shall
be Non-Qualified Stock Options to the extent necessary to comply with the limitations imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code. Participant
further acknowledges that the rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking the Option and other “incentive
stock options” into account in the order in which they were granted, as determined under Section 422(d) of the Code and the
Treasury Regulations thereunder. Participant also acknowledges that an Incentive Stock Option exercised more than three (3) months
after Participant’s Termination of Employment, other than by reason of death or disability, will be taxed as a Non-Qualified
Stock Option.

3.5         Tax
Indemnity.

 

(a)          Participant
agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company, any Affiliate and Participant’s employing company, if different, from
and against any liability for or obligation to pay any Tax Liability (a “Tax
Liability” being any liability for income tax, withholding tax and any other
employment related taxes or social security contributions in any jurisdiction) that is attributable to (1) the grant or exercise
of, or any benefit derived by Participant from, the Option, (2) the acquisition by Participant of the Stock on exercise of the
Option or (3) the disposal of any Stock.

 

(b)          The
Option cannot be exercised until Participant has made such arrangements as the Company may require for the satisfaction of any
Tax Liability that may arise in connection with the exercise of the Option and/or the acquisition of the Stock by Participant.
The Company shall not be required to issue, allot or transfer Stock until Participant has satisfied this obligation.

 

(c)          Participant
hereby acknowledges that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Liabilities
in connection with any aspect of the Option and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the
grant or any aspect of any Award, including the Option, to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax Liabilities
or achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if Participant becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between
the date of grant of an Award, including the Option, and the date of any relevant taxable event, Participant acknowledges that
the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax Liabilities in more than one jurisdiction.

EXERCISE OF OPTION

 

4.1         Person
Eligible to Exercise. Except as provided in Section 5.3 hereof, during the lifetime of Participant, only Participant may exercise
the Option or any portion thereof, unless it has been disposed of pursuant to a DRO. After the death of Participant, any exercisable
portion of the Option may, prior to the time when the Option becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof, be exercised by the
deceased Participant’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s
will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.

 

4.2         Partial
Exercise. Any exercisable portion of the Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised in whole
or in part at any time prior to the time when the Option or portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof. However,
the Option shall not be exercisable with respect to fractional shares of Stock.

 

4.3         Manner
of Exercise. The Option, or any exercisable portion thereof, may be exercised solely by delivery to the Secretary of the Company
(or any third party administrator or other person or entity designated by the Company; for the avoidance of doubt, delivery shall
include electronic delivery), during regular business hours, of all of the following prior to the time when the Option or such
portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof:

 

(a)          An
exercise notice in a form specified by the Administrator, stating that the Option or portion thereof is thereby exercised, such
notice complying with all applicable rules established by the Administrator. The notice shall be signed by Participant or other
person then entitled to exercise the Option or such portion of the Option;

 

(b)          The
receipt by the Company of full payment for the shares of Stock with respect to which the Option or portion thereof is exercised,
including payment of any applicable withholding tax, which shall be made by deduction from other compensation payable to Participant
or in such other form of consideration permitted under Section 4.4 hereof that is acceptable to the Company;

 

    	 	A-3	 

     

    

 

(c)          Any
other written representations or documents as may be required in the Administrator’s sole discretion to evidence compliance
with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other applicable law, rule or regulation; and

 

(d)          In
the event the Option or portion thereof shall be exercised pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof by any person or persons other than Participant,
appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option.

 

Notwithstanding any of
the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to specify all conditions of the manner of exercise, which conditions may vary
by country and which may be subject to change from time to time.

 

4.4         Method
of Payment. Payment of the exercise price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of Participant:

 

(a)          Cash
or check;

 

(b)          With
the consent of the Administrator, surrender of shares of Stock (including, without limitation, shares of Stock otherwise issuable
upon exercise of the Option) held for such period of time as may be required by the Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting
consequences and having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised
portion thereof; or

 

(c)          Other
legal consideration acceptable to the Administrator (including, without limitation, through the delivery of a notice that Participant
has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to shares of Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that
the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the
Option exercise price; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company at such time as may be required
by the Company, but in any event not later than the settlement of such sale).

 

4.5         Conditions
to Issuance of Stock. The shares of Stock deliverable upon the exercise of the Option, or any portion thereof, may be either
previously authorized but unissued shares of Stock or issued shares of Stock which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such
shares of Stock shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any shares of Stock
purchased upon the exercise of the Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the conditions in Section 11.4 of the
Plan and following conditions:

 

(a)          The
admission of such shares of Stock to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Stock is then listed;

 

(b)          The
completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares of Stock under any state or federal law or under rulings or
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall,
in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable;

 

(c)          The
obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Administrator shall, in its
absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable;

 

    	 	A-4	 

     

    

 

(d)          The
receipt by the Company of full payment for such shares of Stock, including payment of any applicable withholding tax, which may
be in one or more of the forms of consideration permitted under Section 4.4 hereof; and

 

(e)          The
lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Administrator may from time to time establish
for reasons of administrative convenience.

 

4.6         Rights
as Stockholder. The holder of the Option shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company,
including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of any shares of Stock purchasable upon the exercise
of any part of the Option unless and until such shares of Stock shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such
holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company).
No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the shares of Stock are
issued, except as provided in Section 13.2 of the Plan.

OTHER PROVISIONS

 

5.1         Administration.
The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration,
interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions
taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be final and binding upon Participant,
the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee or the Board shall be personally liable for any action,
determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Option.

 

5.2         Whole
Shares. The Option may only be exercised for whole shares of Stock.

 

5.3         Option
Not Transferable.

 

(a)          Subject
to Section 4.1 hereof, the Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator,
pursuant to a DRO, unless and until the Option has been exercised and the shares of Stock underlying the Option have been issued,
and all restrictions applicable to such shares of Stock have lapsed. Neither the Option nor any interest or right therein shall
be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition
by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition
be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings
(including bankruptcy) unless and until the Option has been exercised, and any attempted disposition thereof prior to exercise
shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence.

 

(b)          During
the lifetime of Participant, only Participant may exercise the Option (or any portion thereof), unless it has been disposed of
pursuant to a DRO; after the death of Participant, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time when such portion
becomes unexercisable under the Plan or this Agreement, be exercised by Participant’s personal representative or by any person
empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s will or under the then-applicable laws of descent and distribution.

 

    	 	A-5	 

     

    

 

(c)          Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Agreement, Participant may, in the manner determined by the Administrator, designate a beneficiary
to exercise the rights of Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to the Option upon Participant’s death.
A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all
terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, except to the extent the Plan and this Agreement otherwise provide, and to
any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. If Participant is married or a domestic partner
in a domestic partnership qualified under Applicable Law and resides in a community property
state, a designation of a person other than Participant’s spouse or domestic partner, as applicable, as his or her beneficiary
with respect to more than 50% of Participant’s interest in the Option shall not be effective without the prior written consent
of Participant’s spouse or domestic partner. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives Participant, payment shall
be made to the person entitled thereto pursuant to Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to
the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by Participant at any time provided the change or revocation
is filed with the Administrator prior to Participant’s death.

 

5.4         Tax
Consultation. Participant understands that Participant may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of the grant, vesting
and/or exercise of the Option, and/or with the purchase or disposition of the shares of Stock subject to the Option. Participant
represents that Participant has consulted with any tax consultants Participant deems advisable in connection with the purchase
or disposition of such shares of Stock and that Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

 

5.5         Binding
Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of the Option contained herein, this Agreement will be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

 

5.6         Adjustments
Upon Specified Events. The Administrator may accelerate the vesting of the Option in such circumstances as it, in its sole
discretion and consistent with the Plan, may determine. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Stock
contemplated by Section 13.2 of the Plan (including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such Stock), the Administrator
shall make such adjustments the Administrator deems appropriate in the number of shares of Stock subject to the Option, the exercise
price of the Option and the kind of securities that may be issued upon exercise of the Option. Participant acknowledges that the
Option is subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and Section 13.2
of the Plan.

 

5.7         Notices.
Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary
of the Company at the Company’s principal office, and any notice to be given to Participant shall be addressed to Participant
at Participant’s last address reflected on the Company’s records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 5.7, either
party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice which is required to be given
to Participant shall, if Participant is then deceased, be given to the person entitled to exercise his or her Option pursuant to
Section 4.1 hereof by written notice under this Section 5.7. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when
sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly
maintained by the United States Postal Service.

 

5.8         Titles.
Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

 

    	 	A-6	 

     

    

 

5.9         Governing
Law. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance
of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.

 

5.10       Conformity
to Securities Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary
with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all Applicable Law and regulations and rules promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Option is granted and may be exercised, only in such a manner as to conform
to such Applicable Law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent
necessary to conform to such Applicable Law.

 

5.11       Amendments,
Suspension and Termination. To the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise
modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Administrator or the Board; provided that, except
as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, no amendment, modification, suspension or termination of this Agreement shall adversely
affect the Option in any material way without the prior written consent of Participant.

 

5.12       Successors
and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth
in Section 5.3 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors
and assigns.

 

5.13       Notification
of Disposition. If this Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option, Participant shall give prompt notice to the Company
of any disposition or other transfer of any shares of Stock acquired under this Agreement if such disposition or transfer is made
(a) within two (2) years from the Grant Date with respect to such shares of Stock or (b) within one (1) year after the transfer
of such shares of Stock to Participant. Such notice shall specify the date of such disposition or other transfer and the amount
realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by Participant in such disposition or other
transfer.

 

5.14       Limitations
Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject
to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Option and this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth
in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act)
that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall
be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

 

5.15       Not
a Contract of Service Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to continue
to serve as an employee or other service provider of the Company or any of its Affiliates or interfere with or restrict in any
way with the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or to terminate
for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, the services of Participant’s at any time.

 

5.16       Entire
Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto) constitute the entire agreement of
the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to
the subject matter hereof.

 

    	 	A-7	 

     

    

 

5.17       Section
409A. This Option is not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section
409A of the Code (together with any 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 date hereof, “Section 409A”).
However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement (or any Exhibits hereto), if at any
time the Administrator determines that the Option (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall
have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Participant or any other person for failure
to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement (or any Exhibits hereto), or adopt other policies
and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator
determines are necessary or appropriate either for the Option to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with
the requirements of Section 409A.

 

5.18       Limitation
on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This
Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as
creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant shall have only the
rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect
to the Option, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to options,
as and when exercised pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

5.19       Consent
to Personal Data Processing and Transfer. By acceptance of this Option, Participant acknowledges and consents to the collection,
use, processing and transfer of personal data as described below. The Company, its parents, its Subsidiaries and the Participant’s
employer (all together, the “Company Entities”), hold certain personal information, including the Participant’s
name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee tax identification number, employment
history and status, salary, nationality, job title, and any equity compensation grants or Shares awarded, cancelled, purchased,
vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”).
The Company Entities will transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management
of the Plan. The Company Entities may also make the Data available to public authorities where required under locally applicable
law. These recipients may be located in the United States, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Asia or elsewhere, which
Participant separately and expressly consents to, accepting that outside the Participant’s location, data protection laws
may not be as protective as within. The third parties are currently assisting the Company in the implementation, administration
and management of the Plan. However, from time to time and without notice, the Company Entities may retain additional or different
third parties for any of the purposes mentioned. Participant hereby authorizes the Company Entities and all such third parties
to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering
and managing participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration
of the Plan on behalf of Participant to a third party with whom Participant may have elected to have payment made pursuant to the
Plan. Participant may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consent herein in writing
by contacting the Company through its local H.R. Director; however, withdrawing the consent may affect Participant’s ability
to participate in the Plan and receive the benefits intended by this Option. Data will only be held as long as necessary to implement,
administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan and any subsequent claims or rights.

5.20       Rules
Particular To Specific Countries.

 

(a)          Generally.
Participant shall, if required by the Administrator, enter into an election with the Company or an Affiliate (in a form approved
by the Company) under which any liability to the Company’s (or an Affiliate’s) Tax Liability, including, but not limited
to, National Insurance Contributions (“NICs”) and the Fringe Benefit Tax (“FBT”), is transferred
to and met by Participant. For purposes of this Section 5.20, Tax Liability shall mean any and all liability under applicable non-U.S.
laws, rules or regulations from any income tax, the Company’s (or an Affiliate’s) NICs, FBT or similar liability and
Participant’s NICs, FBT or similar liability that are attributable to: (A) the grant or exercise of, or any other benefit
derived by Participant from the Option; (B) the acquisition by Participant of the shares of Stock on exercise of the Option; or
(C) the disposal of any shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option.

 

(b)          Tax

GRANT OF OPTION

 

2.1           Grant
of Option. In consideration of Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or any Affiliate
and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant
Date”), the Company irrevocably grants to Participant the Option to purchase any part or all of an aggregate of the number
of shares of Stock set forth in the Grant Notice, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, subject

the Option shall be an Incentive Stock Option to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

2.2           Exercise
Price. The exercise price of the shares of Stock subject to the Option shall be as set forth in the Grant Notice, without commission
or other charge; provided, however, that the price per share of the shares of Stock subject to the Option shall not
be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Option
is designated as an Incentive Stock Option and Participant is a Greater Than 10% Stockholder as of the Date of Grant, the exercise
price per share of the shares of Stock subject to the Option shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of
Stock on the Grant Date.

 

2.3           Consideration
to the Company. In consideration of the grant of the Option by the Company, Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient

and its Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time
for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between

PERIOD OF EXERCISABILITY

 

3.1          Commencement
of Exercisability.

 

(a)          Subject
to Sections 3.2, 3.3, 5.11 and 5.17 hereof, the Option shall become vested and exercisable in such amounts and at such times as
are set forth in the Grant Notice.

 

(b)          No
portion of the Option which has not become vested and exercisable at the date of Participant’s Termination of Service shall
thereafter become vested and exercisable, except as may be otherwise provided by the Administrator or as set forth in a written
agreement between the Company and Participant.         

 

(c)          Notwithstanding
Section 3.1(a) hereof and the Grant Notice, but subject to Section 3.1(b) hereof, in the event of a Change in Control the Option
shall be treated pursuant to Section 13.2 of the Plan.

 

3.2          Duration
of Exercisability. The installments provided for in the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice are cumulative. Each
such installment which becomes vested and exercisable pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice shall remain
vested and exercisable until it becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof.

 

3.3          Expiration
of Option. The Option may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following events:

 

(a)          The
Expiration Date set forth in the Grant Notice, which shall in no event be more than ten (10) years from the Grant Date;

 

(b)          The
expiration of one (1) year from the date of Participant’s Termination of Service, unless such termination occurs by reason
of Participant’s death or disability; or

 

(c)          The
expiration of one (1) year from the date of Participant’s Termination of Service by reason of Participant’s death or
disability.

 

3.4          Special
Tax Consequences. Participant acknowledges that, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time
the Option is granted) of all shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options, including the Option (if applicable),
are exercisable for the first time by Participant in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the Option and such other options shall
be Non-Qualified Stock Options to the extent necessary to comply with the limitations imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code. Participant
further acknowledges that the rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking the Option and other “incentive
stock options” into account in the order in which they were granted, as determined under Section 422(d) of the Code and the
Treasury Regulations thereunder. Participant also acknowledges that an Incentive Stock Option exercised more than three (3) months
after Participant’s Termination of Employment, other than by reason of death or disability, will be taxed as a Non-Qualified
Stock Option.

3.5          Tax
Indemnity. 

 

(a)          Participant
agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company, any Affiliate and Participant’s employing company, if different, from
and against any liability for or obligation to pay any Tax Liability (a “Tax Liability” being any liability
for income tax, withholding tax and any other employment related taxes or social security contributions in any jurisdiction) that
is attributable to (1) the grant or exercise of, or any benefit derived by Participant from, the Option, (2) the acquisition by
Participant of the Stock on exercise of the Option or (3) the disposal of any Stock.

 

(b)          The
Option cannot be exercised until Participant has made such arrangements as the Company may require for the satisfaction of any
Tax Liability that may arise in connection with the exercise of the Option and/or the acquisition of the Stock by Participant.
The Company shall not be required to issue, allot or transfer Stock until Participant has satisfied this obligation.

 

(c)          Participant
hereby acknowledges that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Liabilities
in connection with any aspect of the Option and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the
grant or any aspect of any Award, including the Option, to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax Liabilities
or achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if Participant becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between
the date of grant of an Award, including the Option, and the date of any relevant taxable event, Participant acknowledges that
the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax Liabilities in more than one jurisdiction.

EXERCISE OF OPTION

 

4.1          Person
Eligible to Exercise. Except as provided in Section 5.3 hereof, during the lifetime of Participant, only Participant may exercise
the Option or any portion thereof, unless it has been disposed of pursuant to a DRO. After the death of Participant, any exercisable
portion of the Option may, prior to the time when the Option becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof, be exercised by the
deceased Participant’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s
will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.

 

4.2          Partial
Exercise. Any exercisable portion of the Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised in whole
or in part at any time prior to the time when the Option or portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof. However,
the Option shall not be exercisable with respect to fractional shares of Stock.

 

4.3          Manner
of Exercise. The Option, or any exercisable portion thereof, may be exercised solely by delivery to the Secretary of the Company
(or any third party administrator or other person or entity designated by the Company; for the avoidance of doubt, delivery shall
include electronic delivery), during regular business hours, of all of the following prior to the time when the Option or such
portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof:

 

(a)          An
exercise notice in a form specified by the Administrator, stating that the Option or portion thereof is thereby exercised, such
notice complying with all applicable rules established by the Administrator. The notice shall be signed by Participant or other
person then entitled to exercise the Option or such portion of the Option;

 

(b)          The
receipt by the Company of full payment for the shares of Stock with respect to which the Option or portion thereof is exercised,
including payment of any applicable withholding tax, which shall be made by deduction from other compensation payable to Participant
or in such other form of consideration permitted under Section 4.4 hereof that is acceptable to the Company;

 

    	 	A-3	 

     

    

(c)          Any
other written representations or documents as may be required in the Administrator’s sole discretion to evidence compliance
with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other applicable law, rule or regulation; and

 

(d)          In
the event the Option or portion thereof shall be exercised pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof by any person or persons other than Participant,
appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option.

 

Notwithstanding any of the
foregoing, the Company shall have the right to specify all conditions of the manner of exercise, which conditions may vary by country
and which may be subject to change from time to time.

 

4.4          Method
of Payment. Payment of the exercise price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of Participant:

 

(a)          Cash
or check;

 

(b)          With
the consent of the Administrator, surrender of shares of Stock (including, without limitation, shares of Stock otherwise issuable
upon exercise of the Option) held for such period of time as may be required by the Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting
consequences and having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised
portion thereof; or

 

(c)          Other
legal consideration acceptable to the Administrator (including, without limitation, through the delivery of a notice that Participant
has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to shares of Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that
the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the
Option exercise price; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company at such time as may be required
by the Company, but in any event not later than the settlement of such sale).

 

4.5          Conditions
to Issuance of Stock. The shares of Stock deliverable upon the exercise of the Option, or any portion thereof, may be either
previously authorized but unissued shares of Stock or issued shares of Stock which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such
shares of Stock shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any shares of Stock
purchased upon the exercise of the Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the conditions in Section 11.4 of the
Plan and following conditions:

 

(a)          The
admission of such shares of Stock to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Stock is then listed;

 

(b)          The
completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares of Stock under any state or federal law or under rulings or
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall,
in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable;

 

(c)          The
obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Administrator shall, in its
absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable;

 

    	 	A-4	 

     

    

(d)          The
receipt by the Company of full payment for such shares of Stock, including payment of any applicable withholding tax, which may
be in one or more of the forms of consideration permitted under Section 4.4 hereof; and

 

(e)          The
lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Administrator may from time to time establish
for reasons of administrative convenience.

 

4.6          Rights
as Stockholder. The holder of the Option shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company,
including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of any shares of Stock purchasable upon the exercise
of any part of the Option unless and until such shares of Stock shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such
holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company).
No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the shares of Stock are
issued, except as provided in Section 13.2 of the Plan.

OTHER PROVISIONS

 

5.1          Administration.
The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration,
interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions
taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be final and binding upon Participant,
the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee or the Board shall be personally liable for any action,
determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Option.

 

5.2          Whole
Shares. The Option may only be exercised for whole shares of Stock.

 

5.3          Option
Not Transferable.

 

(a)          Subject
to Section 4.1 hereof, the Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator,
pursuant to a DRO, unless and until the Option has been exercised and the shares of Stock underlying the Option have been issued,
and all restrictions applicable to such shares of Stock have lapsed. Neither the Option nor any interest or right therein shall
be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition
by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition
be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings
(including bankruptcy) unless and until the Option has been exercised, and any attempted disposition thereof prior to exercise
shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence.

 

(b)          During
the lifetime of Participant, only Participant may exercise the Option (or any portion thereof), unless it has been disposed of
pursuant to a DRO; after the death of Participant, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time when such portion
becomes unexercisable under the Plan or this Agreement, be exercised by Participant’s personal representative or by any person
empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s will or under the then-applicable laws of descent and distribution.

 

    	 	A-5	 

     

    

(c)          Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Agreement, Participant may, in the manner determined by the Administrator, designate a beneficiary
to exercise the rights of Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to the Option upon Participant’s death.
A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all
terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, except to the extent the Plan and this Agreement otherwise provide, and to
any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. If Participant is married or a domestic partner
in a domestic partnership qualified under Applicable Law and resides in a community property
state, a designation of a person other than Participant’s spouse or domestic partner, as applicable, as his or her beneficiary
with respect to more than 50% of Participant’s interest in the Option shall not be effective without the prior written consent
of Participant’s spouse or domestic partner. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives Participant, payment shall
be made to the person entitled thereto pursuant to Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to
the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by Participant at any time provided the change or revocation
is filed with the Administrator prior to Participant’s death.

 

5.4          Tax
Consultation. Participant understands that Participant may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of the grant, vesting
and/or exercise of the Option, and/or with the purchase or disposition of the shares of Stock subject to the Option. Participant
represents that Participant has consulted with any tax consultants Participant deems advisable in connection with the purchase
or disposition of such shares of Stock and that Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

 

5.5          Binding
Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of the Option contained herein, this Agreement will be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

 

5.6          Adjustments
Upon Specified Events. The Administrator may accelerate the vesting of the Option in such circumstances as it, in its sole
discretion and consistent with the Plan, may determine. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Stock
contemplated by Section 13.2 of the Plan (including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such Stock), the Administrator
shall make such adjustments the Administrator deems appropriate in the number of shares of Stock subject to the Option, the exercise
price of the Option and the kind of securities that may be issued upon exercise of the Option. Participant acknowledges that the
Option is subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and Section 13.2
of the Plan.

 

5.7          Notices.
Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary
of the Company at the Company’s principal office, and any notice to be given to Participant shall be addressed to Participant
at Participant’s last address reflected on the Company’s records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 5.7, either
party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice which is required to be given
to Participant shall, if Participant is then deceased, be given to the person entitled to exercise his or her Option pursuant to
Section 4.1 hereof by written notice under this Section 5.7. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when
sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly
maintained by the United States Postal Service.

 

5.8          Titles.
Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

 

    	 	A-6	 

     

    

5.9          Governing
Law. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance
of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.

 

5.10        Conformity
to Securities Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary
with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all Applicable Law and regulations and rules promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Option is granted and may be exercised, only in such a manner as to conform
to such Applicable Law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent
necessary to conform to such Applicable Law.

 

5.11        Amendments,
Suspension and Termination. To the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise
modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Administrator or the Board; provided that, except
as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, no amendment, modification, suspension or termination of this Agreement shall adversely
affect the Option in any material way without the prior written consent of Participant.

 

5.12        Successors
and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth
in Section 5.3 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors
and assigns.

 

5.13        Notification
of Disposition. If this Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option, Participant shall give prompt notice to the Company
of any disposition or other transfer of any shares of Stock acquired under this Agreement if such disposition or transfer is made
(a) within two (2) years from the Grant Date with respect to such shares of Stock or (b) within one (1) year after the transfer
of such shares of Stock to Participant. Such notice shall specify the date of such disposition or other transfer and the amount
realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by Participant in such disposition or other
transfer.

 

5.14        Limitations
Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject
to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Option and this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth
in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act)
that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall
be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

 

5.15        Not
a Contract of Service Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to continue
to serve as an employee or other service provider of the Company or any of its Affiliates or interfere with or restrict in any
way with the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or to terminate
for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, the services of Participant’s at any time.

 

5.16        Entire
Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto) constitute the entire agreement of
the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to
the subject matter hereof.

 

    	 	A-7	 

     

    

5.17        Section
409A. This Option is not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section
409A of the Code (together with any 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 date hereof, “Section 409A”).
However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement (or any Exhibits hereto), if at any
time the Administrator determines that the Option (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall
have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Participant or any other person for failure
to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement (or any Exhibits hereto), or adopt other policies
and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator
determines are necessary or appropriate either for the Option to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with
the requirements of Section 409A.

 

5.18        Limitation
on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This
Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as
creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant shall have only the
rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect
to the Option, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to options,
as and when exercised pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

5.19        Consent
to Personal Data Processing and Transfer. By acceptance of this Option, Participant acknowledges and consents to the collection,
use, processing and transfer of personal data as described below. The Company, its parents, its Subsidiaries and the Participant’s
employer (all together, the “Company Entities”), hold certain personal information, including the Participant’s
name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee tax identification number, employment
history and status, salary, nationality, job title, and any equity compensation grants or Shares awarded, cancelled, purchased,
vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”).
The Company Entities will transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management
of the Plan. The Company Entities may also make the Data available to public authorities where required under locally applicable
law. These recipients may be located in the United States, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Asia or elsewhere, which
Participant separately and expressly consents to, accepting that outside the Participant’s location, data protection laws
may not be as protective as within. The third parties are currently assisting the Company in the implementation, administration
and management of the Plan. However, from time to time and without notice, the Company Entities may retain additional or different
third parties for any of the purposes mentioned. Participant hereby authorizes the Company Entities and all such third parties
to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering
and managing participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration
of the Plan on behalf of Participant to a third party with whom Participant may have elected to have payment made pursuant to the
Plan. Participant may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consent herein in writing
by contacting the Company through its local H.R. Director; however, withdrawing the consent may affect Participant’s ability
to participate in the Plan and receive the benefits intended by this Option. Data will only be held as long as necessary to implement,
administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan and any subsequent claims or rights.

5.20        Rules
Particular To Specific Countries.

 

(a)          Generally.
Participant shall, if required by the Administrator, enter into an election with the Company or an Affiliate (in a form approved
by the Company) under which any liability to the Company’s (or an Affiliate’s) Tax Liability, including, but not limited
to, National Insurance Contributions (“NICs”) and the Fringe Benefit Tax (“FBT”), is transferred
to and met by Participant. For purposes of this Section 5.20, Tax Liability shall mean any and all liability under applicable non-U.S.
