(Base and Upside Options)

Stock Incentive Plan. The meaning of capitalized terms may be found in Section 7.

The Company and the Employee hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Grant of Options

(a) Confirmation of Grant. The Company hereby evidences and confirms its grant to the Employee of (x) Options to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock that are designated as “Base Options” on the signature page hereof (the “Base Options”) and (y) Options to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock that are designated as “Upside Options” on the signature page hereof (the “Upside Options”). The Options are not intended to be incentive stock options under the Code. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to, and the terms of the Options are subject to, the terms of the Plan. In consideration of the receipt of the Options granted pursuant to this Agreement, the Employee agrees to be bound by the covenants set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement; it being understood that the Employee shall be required to comply with such restrictive covenants, to the extent permitted by applicable law, even if the Employee has vested in, exercised, or forfeited all of the Options, or sold the shares underlying the Options.

(b) Option Price. Each share covered by a Base Option or Upside Option shall have the Option Price specified on the signature page hereof for Base Options and Upside Options, respectively.

Section 2. Vesting and Exercisability

(a) Vesting.

(i) Base Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(b) or 6(a), the Base Options shall become vested in four equal annual installments on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Vesting Commencement Date, subject to the continuous employment of the Employee with the Company from the Vesting Commencement Date until the applicable vesting date.

(ii) Upside Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(b) or 6(a), the Upside Options shall become vested and exercisable, (x) in four equal annual installments on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Vesting Commencement Date but only if (y) as of such date or a later date prior to termination of the Upside Options, the Investors have earned an Investor Return of at least three times (3x) on all of their Aggregate Initial Investment, subject to the continuous employment of the Employee with the Company from the Vesting Commencement Date through such date.

(b) Discretionary Acceleration. The Board, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the vesting or exercisability of all or a portion of the Options, at any time and from time to time.

(c) Exercise. Once vested in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Options may be exercised at any time and from time to time prior to the date such Options terminate pursuant to Section 3. Options may only be exercised with respect to whole shares of Common Stock and must be exercised in accordance with Section 4.

(d) No Other Accelerated Vesting; No Other Entitlements. The vesting and exercisability provisions set forth in this Section 2 or in Section 6 or expressly set forth in the Plan, shall be the exclusive vesting and exercisability provisions applicable to the Options and shall supersede any other provisions relating to vesting and exercisability, unless such other such provision expressly refers to the Plan by name and this Agreement by name and date. As a condition to the grant of these Options, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that these Options (together with any other previously awarded Options evidenced by an Option Agreement executed by the Company) are in full and final satisfaction of any and all entitlements to equity awards from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that the Employee now has or prior to the date hereof has ever had (including under any prior commitment or grant by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and, to give full effect to this Agreement, the Employee hereby releases any and all right, claim or action that the Employee may have or have ever had as to any such equity compensation.

Section 3. Termination of Options

(a) Normal Termination Date. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 3(b) or Section 6, the Options shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Normal Termination Date”), if not exercised prior to such date.

(b) Early Termination. If the Employee’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, any Options held by the

Employee that have not vested before the effective date of such termination of employment shall terminate immediately upon such termination of employment and, if the Employee’s employment is terminated for Cause, all Options (whether or not then vested or exercisable) shall automatically terminate immediately upon such termination. All vested Options held by the Employee following the effective date of a termination of employment shall remain exercisable until the first to occur of (i) the 90^th day following the effective date of the Employee’s termination of employment (or the 180^th day in the case of a Special Termination or Retirement), (ii) the Normal Termination Date or (iii) the cancellation of the Options pursuant to Section 6, and if not exercised within such period the Options shall automatically terminate upon the expiration of such period.

Section 4. Manner of Exercise

(a) General. Subject to such reasonable administrative regulations as the Board may adopt from time to time, the Employee may exercise vested Options by giving at least 15 business days prior written notice to the Secretary of the Company specifying the proposed date on which the Employee desires to exercise a vested Option (the “Exercise Date”), the number of whole shares with respect to which the Options are being exercised (the “Exercise Shares”) and the aggregate Option Price for such Exercise Shares (the “Exercise Price”); provided that following a Public Offering notice may be given within such lesser period as the Board may permit. The Exercise Shares shall be subject to the Subscription Agreement to which the Employee is then a party, or if the Employee is not then a party to a Subscription Agreement, as otherwise provided to the Employee in the form then customarily used by the Company. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, and subject to such other terms, representations and warranties as may be provided for in the Subscription Agreement, (i) on or before the Exercise Date the Employee shall deliver to the Company full payment for the Exercise Shares in United States dollars in cash, or cash equivalents satisfactory to the Company, in an amount equal to the Exercise Price plus any required withholding taxes or other similar taxes, charges or fees and (ii) the Company shall register the issuance of the Exercise Shares on its records (or direct such issuance to be registered by the Company’s transfer agent). The Company may require the Employee to furnish or execute such other documents as the Company shall reasonably deem necessary (i) to evidence such exercise, (ii) to determine whether registration is then required under the Securities Act or other applicable law or (iii) to comply with or satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act, applicable state or non-U.S. securities laws or any other applicable law.

(b) Restrictions on Exercise. Notwithstanding any other

provision of this Agreement, the Options may not be exercised in whole or in part, and no certificates representing Exercise Shares shall be delivered, (i) unless (A) all requisite approvals and consents of any governmental authority of any kind shall have been secured, (B) the purchase of the Exercise Shares shall be exempt from registration under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws, and applicable non-U.S. securities laws, or the Exercise Shares shall have been registered under such laws, and (C) all applicable U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax withholding requirements shall have been satisfied or (ii) if such exercise would result in a violation of the terms or provisions of or a default or an event of default under, any of the Financing Agreements. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents or approvals referred to in clause (i) (A) of the preceding sentence, but shall otherwise have no obligations to take any steps to prevent or remove any impediment to exercise described in such sentence.

Section 5. Employee’s Representations; Investment Intention. The Employee represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(a) (i) the Employee has carefully reviewed the information and materials furnished to the Employee in connection with the offer of the Options pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) the Employee has had an adequate opportunity to consider whether or not to accept the grant of Options offered to the Employee and agree to the covenants set forth in Exhibit A hereto, (iii) the Employee understands the terms and conditions that apply to the Options (including the Employee’s agreement of the covenants set forth in Exhibit A hereto) and the risks associated with an investment in the Options and (iv) the Employee has a good understanding of the English language;

(b) the Employee is accepting the Options (and agreeing to the covenants set forth in Exhibit A hereto) voluntarily, and, if applicable, the Options satisfy any obligation of the Company or its Affiliates to sell or grant equity in the Company or its Affiliates to the Employee;

(c) the Employee shall be required to comply with the restrictive covenants set forth in Exhibit A hereto, to the extent permitted by applicable law, even if the Employee has vested in, exercised, or forfeited all of the Options, or sold the shares underlying the Options;

(d) the Employee can afford to suffer the complete loss of the Options;

(e) the Options have been, and any Exercise Shares will be, acquired by the Employee solely for the Employee’s own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof; and

(f) the Employee represents and warrants that the Employee understands that none of the Exercise Shares may be transferred, sold, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless the provisions of the Subscription Agreement shall have been complied with or have expired in accordance with their terms.

Section 6. Change in Control

(a) Vesting. In the event of a Change in Control, all then-outstanding Base Options shall immediately become fully vested.

(b) Election to Exercise. The Company will notify the Employee in writing of a Change in Control at least ten business days prior to the closing date of the Change in Control. At the Employee’s written election to the Company no later than three business days prior to the closing date of the Change in Control, all or any portion of the outstanding Base Options and, to the extent they will become vested in the Change in Control, Upside Options may be exercised by the Employee, and, if exercised, such Options will terminate immediately prior to the Change in Control and the Employee will receive the Change in Control Price for any Exercise Shares acquired upon exercise of such Options and if the Change in Control Price is solely cash, then this payment will likewise be solely in cash. In connection with any exercise under this Section 6(b), (i) the Employee will have the ability to request that a number of shares be withheld from such exercise to satisfy the payment of the Exercise Price of such exercised Options and (ii) no later than the closing date of the Change in Control, the Employee will pay to the Company in cash (or, at the Employee’s written request, have withheld from any cash paid to the Employee in respect of such Exercise Shares in the Change in Control) any required withholding taxes or other similar taxes, charges or fees associated with such exercise of the Options.

(c) Cancellation. Except for any Options exercised under Section 6(b) and as otherwise provided in Section 6(d), all (x) Base Options outstanding at the Change in Control and (y) Upside Options, if any, that become vested in the Change in Control pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) or Section 2(b), shall be canceled in exchange for a payment (determined in accordance with the Plan) having a value equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the product of the Change in Control Price multiplied by the aggregate number of shares covered by all such Options immediately prior to the Change in Control over (ii) the aggregate Option Price for all such shares, to be paid as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 30 days following the Change in Control (or, if

applicable, on such later dates in conformity with the payment of the proceeds payable to the holders of Common Stock (as permitted under Section 409A of the Code)). If the Change in Control Price is solely cash, then the payment described in the preceding sentence will likewise be paid solely in cash. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6(d), if at the time of the Change in Control the Board reasonably determines in good faith that any Upside Options will not vest after giving effect to the Change in Control pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), such Upside Options shall be cancelled upon the Change in Control without payment of consideration therefor.

(d) Alternative Award. Notwithstanding Section 6(c), no cancellation, termination, or other payment shall occur with respect to any Option outstanding at the time of the Change in Control if the Board reasonably determines prior to the Change in Control that the Employee shall receive an Alternative Award to the extent permitted under, and meeting the requirements of, the Plan; provided that Section 8.2(b) of the Plan shall not apply to Upside Options. Any Alternative Award granted in respect of Base Options or vested Upside Options will be fully vested at the time it is awarded to the Employee.

(e) Limitation of Benefits. If, whether as a result of accelerated vesting, the grant of an Alternative Award or otherwise, the Employee would receive any payment, deemed payment or other benefit as a result of the operation of Section 6 that, together with any other payment, deemed payment or other benefit the Employee may receive under any other plan, program, policy or arrangement, would constitute an “excess parachute payment” under section 280G of the Code, then, notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, the payments, deemed payments or other benefits the Employee would otherwise receive under this Section 6 shall be reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate any such excess parachute payment and the Employee shall have no further rights or claims with respect thereto. If the preceding sentence would result in a reduction of the payments, deemed payments or other benefits the Employee would otherwise receive in more than an immaterial amount, the Company will (1) submit payment of the reduced payments to the Company’s shareholders for approval in the manner provided for in Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code and the regulations thereunder with respect to such reduced payments or other benefits (if the Company is eligible to do so), so that such payments would not be treated as “parachute payments” for these purposes (and therefore would cease to be subject to reduction pursuant to this Section 6(e)) and (2) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approval.

5.4 The Employee acknowledges and agrees that any copyrightable works included in the Developments are “works-made-for- hire” under the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976 (as amended) and the copyright laws of other relevant jurisdictions and that the Company will be considered the author and owner of such copyrightable works. The Employee hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers, conveys, and delivers to the Company all of the Employee’s right, title and interest in and to the Developments. The Employee understands and acknowledges that the Developments include, and the assignment in this Section 5 constitutes a present conveyance to the Company of ownership of, property and rights in existence as of or prior to the date of this Agreement, those currently being Created, as well as those which have not yet been Created.

5.5 The Employee hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers, conveys, and delivers to the Company, and waives and agrees never to assert, any and all Moral Rights (defined below) that the Employee may have in or with respect to any Developments, even after termination of Employee’s employment with the Company. As used herein, “Moral Rights” mean any rights to claim authorship of any Development, to object to or prevent any modification of any Development, to withdraw from circulation or control the publication or distribution of any Development, and any similar right existing under any law anywhere in the world.

5.6 The Employee agrees at all times during the Employee’s employment with the Company and thereafter to sign and deliver any and all further documents necessary or desirable to effectuate or evidence the assignments and waivers set forth in this Section 5 and to maintain, perfect, and enforce patent, copyright, trade secret and other legal protection for the Developments.

Section 6 Nondisparagement. While employed by the Company and thereafter, the Employee shall not, whether in writing or orally, disparage the Company, any Subsidiary, their respective Affiliates or their respective predecessors and successors, or any of the current or former directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, members, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, with respect to any of their respective past or present activities; or otherwise publish (whether in writing or orally) statements that tend to portray any of the aforementioned parties in an unfavorable light; provided that nothing herein shall or shall be deemed to prevent or impair the Employee from testifying truthfully in any legal or administrative proceeding if such testimony is compelled or requested (or otherwise complying with legal requirements).

Section 7 Remedies. The Company and the Employee agree that the provisions of this Exhibit A do not impose an undue hardship on the Employee and are not injurious to the public; that these provisions are necessary to protect the business of the Company, the Subsidiaries and the Company’s Affiliates; that the nature of the Employee’s responsibilities with the Company provide and/or will provide the Employee with access to confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets that are valuable and confidential to the Company, the Subsidiaries and the Company’s Affiliates; that the Company would not grant Options to the Employee if the Employee did not agree to the provisions of this Exhibit A; that the provisions of this Exhibit A are reasonable in terms of length of time, geography and scope; and that adequate consideration supports the provisions of this Exhibit A. In the event that a court determines that any provision of this Exhibit A is unreasonably broad, extensive or prohibited, the Employee agrees that such court should narrow such provision to the extent necessary to make it reasonable and permitted and enforce the provisions as narrowed. The Company reserves all rights to seek any and all remedies and damages permitted under law, including, but not limited to, any remedies provided for pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and related Award Agreements and any other injunctive relief, equitable relief and compensatory damages for any breach of the Employee’s obligations under this Exhibit A.
