Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Agreement.

SECTION 2. EXERCISE OF OPTION.

(a) Right to Exercise. The Option shall vest during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, provided that the Option shall not be exercisable, to the extent vested, until the earlier of a Company Event or an Incorporation. The Option shall be subject to the provisions of the Notice and the Plan relating to the exercisability or termination of the Option in the event of a Company Event. The Participant shall be subject to reasonable limitations on the number of requested exercises during any monthly or weekly period as determined by the Manager. In no event shall the Company issue fractional Shares.

(b) Method of Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice in a form determined by the Board of Directors from time to time or by such other procedure as specified from time to time by the Board of Directors, which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the whole number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, and such other provisions as may be required by the Board of Directors. The exercise notice shall be delivered in person, by certified mail, or by such other method (including electronic transmission) as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors to the Company accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price and all applicable income and employment taxes required to be withheld.

(c) Taxes. No Shares will be delivered to the Participant pursuant to the exercise of the Option until the Participant has made arrangements acceptable to the Board of Directors for the satisfaction of applicable income tax and employment tax withholding obligations and such other tax obligations of the Participant as may be incident to the receipt of Shares. Upon exercise of the Option, the Company or the Participant’s employer may offset or withhold (from any amount owed by the Company or the Participant’s employer to the Participant) or collect from the Participant an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax withholding obligations. Furthermore, in the event of any determination that the Company has failed to withhold a sum sufficient to pay all withholding taxes due in connection with the Option, the Participant agrees to pay the Company the amount of such deficiency in cash within five (5) days after receiving a written demand from the Company to do so, whether or not the Participant is an employee of the Company at that time.

SECTION 3. CONDITIONS TO EXERCISE AND ISSUANCE OF SHARES.

The Participant understands that neither the Option nor the Shares exercisable pursuant to the Option have been registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws and are subject to the Bylaws of the Company as they may be amended from time to time. As a condition to exercise of the Option, the Participant shall make such representations and warranties as are required by Section 9(b) of the Plan and take such other actions as the Board of Directors requests in its reasonable discretion as a condition to the issuance of Shares to the Participant and the admission of such Participant as a shareholder of the Company.

SECTION 4. METHOD OF PAYMENT.

Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Participant; provided, however, that such exercise method does not then violate any applicable law: by cash, check or wire transfer.

SECTION 5. RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE.

The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of the Shares subject to the Option upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable laws. If the exercise of the Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Sections 6, 7 and 8 of this Agreement is prevented by the provisions of this Section 5(a), the Option shall remain exercisable until one (1) month after the date the Participant is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the expiration date set forth in the Notice (the “Expiration Date”).

SECTION 6. TERMINATION OR CHANGE OF CONTINUOUS SERVICE.

(a) Subject to Section 5, in the event the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates, the Participant may, but only during the Post-Termination Exercise Period set forth in the Notice, exercise the portion of the Option that was vested at the date of such termination (the “Termination Date”) to the extent such portion is not forfeited in accordance with the terms of

the Notice. The Post-Termination Exercise Period shall commence on the Termination Date.    no event, however, shall the Option be exercised later than the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice. In the event of the Participant’s change in status from Employee to Consultant or from Consultant to Employee, the Option shall remain in effect and the Option shall continue to vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice. To the extent that the Option was unvested on the Termination Date, or if the Participant does not exercise the vested portion of the Option within the Post-Termination Exercise Period, the Option shall terminate.

(b) If the Participant commences working on a part-time basis, then the Board of Directors may adjust the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice in accordance with the Company’s part-time work policy or the terms of an agreement between the Participant and the Company pertaining to his or her part-time schedule. If the Participant goes on a leave of absence, then the Company may adjust the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice in accordance with the Company’s leave of absence policy or the terms of such leave.

SECTION 7. DISABILITY OF PARTICIPANT.

Subject to Section 5, in the event the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of his or her Disability, the Participant may, but only within twelve (12) months from the Termination Date and in no event later than the Expiration Date, exercise the portion of the Option that was vested on the Termination Date to the extent such portion is not forfeited in accordance with the terms of the Notice. To the extent that the Option was unvested on the Termination Date, or if the Participant does not exercise the vested portion of the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall have the same meaning as defined under the long-term disability policy of the Company or the Related Entity to which the Participant provides services regardless of whether the Participant is covered by such policy. If the Company or the Related Entity to which the Participant provides service does not have a long-term disability plan in place, “Disability” means that the Participant is unable to carry out the responsibilities and functions of the position held by the Participant by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment for a period of not less than ninety (90) consecutive days.

To the extent that the Option was unvested on the date of death, or if the vested portion of the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

SECTION 9. TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION.

The Option may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that the Option may be transferred during the lifetime of the Participant to the extent and in the manner determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant may designate one or more beneficiaries of the Participant’s Option in the event of the Participant’s death on a beneficiary designation form provided by the Board of Directors. Following the death of the Participant, the Option, to the extent provided in Section 8, may be exercised (a) by the person or persons designated under the deceased Participant’s beneficiary designation, or (b) in the absence of an effectively designated beneficiary, by the Participant’s legal 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. The terms of the Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and transferees of the Participant.

SECTION 11. RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER OF SHARES.

(a) General. The Participant shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any Shares issued hereunder without the written consent of the Board of Directors, which written consent may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion.

(b) Bylaws. Shares issued hereunder shall be subject to any transfer restrictions which are included in the Bylaws of the Company.

(c) Market Stand-Off. In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company or the Company’s successor in an acquisition or otherwise (collectively, the “Successor Entity”) of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, including the Successor Entity’s initial public offering, the Participant or any holder of the Shares acquired under this Agreement shall not directly or indirectly sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Shares acquired under this Agreement (or other equity securities of the Successor Entity) without the prior written consent of the Successor Entity or its underwriters. Such restriction (the “Market Stand-Off”) shall be in effect for such period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Successor Entity or such underwriters. In no event, however, shall such period exceed 180 days. The Market Stand-Off shall in any event terminate two years after the date of the Successor Entity’s initial public offering. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Successor Entity’s outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities which are by

reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such Shares thereby become convertible, shall immediately be subject to the Market Stand-Off. In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Successor Entity may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares acquired under this Agreement until the end of the applicable stand-off period. The Successor Entity’s underwriters shall be beneficiaries of the agreement set forth in this Subsection (c). This Subsection (c) shall not apply to Shares registered in the public offering under the Securities Act, and the Participant shall be subject to this Subsection (c) only if the directors and officers of the Successor Entity are subject to similar arrangements.

(d) Securities Law Restrictions. Regardless of whether the issuance of Shares hereunder have been registered under the Securities Act or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, the Company at its discretion may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of the Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on Share certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of the Company, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state or any other law.

(e) Rights of the Company. The Company shall not be required to (i) transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or transferred in contravention of this Agreement or its Bylaws or (ii) treat as an M owner of Shares, or otherwise to accord voting, distribution or liquidation rights to, any transferee to whom Shares have been transferred in contravention of this Agreement or the Bylaws.

(f) Administration. Any determination by the Company and its counsel in connection with any of the matters set forth in this Section 11 shall be conclusive and binding on the Participant and all other persons.

SECTION 12. ADJUSTMENT OF OPTIONS AND SHARES.

In the event of any transaction described in Section 10 of the Plan, the number and kind of Shares for which the Option is exercisable shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 10 of the Plan. In the event that the Company engages in a Corporate Transaction or a Change in Control occurs as described in the Plan, the Option shall be governed by Section 11 of the Plan.

SECTION 13. TAX CONSEQUENCES.

(a) The Participant may incur tax liability as a result of the Participant’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. THE PARTICIPANT SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THE OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

(b) Notwithstanding the Company’s good faith determination of the Fair Market Value of the Shares for purposes of determining the Exercise Price Per Share of the Option as set forth in the Notice, the taxing authorities may assert that the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Date of Award was greater than the Exercise Price Per Share. Under Section 409A of the Code, if the Exercise Price Per Share of the Option is less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Date of Award, the Option may be treated as a form of deferred

compensation and the Participant may be subject to an acceleration of income recognition, an additional 20% tax (or 40% tax in the case of California residents), plus interest and possible penalties. The Company makes no representation that the Option will comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to prevent Section 409A of the Code from applying to the Option or to mitigate its effects on any deferrals or payments made in respect of the Option. The Participant is encouraged to consult a tax adviser regarding the potential impact of Section 409A of the Code.

SECTION 14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; GOVERNING LAW.

The Notice, the Plan, and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Participant’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and the Participant.

Should any provision of the Notice, the Plan, or this Agreement be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be enforced to the fullest extent allowed by law and the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain enforceable.
