NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 

Option    This Agreement evidences an award of an Option exercisable for that number of shares of Stock set forth on the cover sheet and subject to the vesting and other conditions set forth herein, in the Plan and on the cover sheet. This option is not intended to be an incentive option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and will be interpreted accordingly.
Transfer of Unvested Options    During your lifetime, only you (or, in the event of your legal incapacity or incompetency, your guardian or legal representative) may exercise the Option. The Option may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Option be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process. If you attempt to do any of these things, this Option will immediately become forfeited.
Issuance and Vesting   

Your rights under this Option grant and this Agreement shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the cover sheet so long as you continue in Service on the vesting dates set forth on the cover sheet. No additional shares of Stock underlying your Option will vest after your Service has terminated for any reason.

 

In the event of a termination of your service for any reason, the Option shall become vested at the date of termination for a pro rata portion based on the number of full months of the current year that has expired prior to the termination of the previously non-vested portion of the Option which would have been vested at the end of the year in which such termination occurs.

Corporate Transaction    Notwithstanding the vesting schedule set forth above, upon the consummation of a Corporate Transaction, the Option will become 100% vested if the Option is not assumed or if new common stock options relating to the stock of a successor entity are not granted with appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares subject to the Option and the exercise price.
Evidence of Issuance    The issuance of the shares upon exercise of this Option shall be evidenced in such a manner as the Company, in its discretion, will deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry, registration or issuance of one or more share certificates.
Forfeiture of Unvested Options    Unless the termination of your Service triggers other treatment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Plan, or any other written

agreement between the Company or any Affiliate, as applicable, and you, you will automatically forfeit to the Company the unvested portion of the Option in the event you are no longer providing Service for any reason.

Expiration of Vested Options After Service Terminates   

If your Service terminates for any reason, other than death or Disability, then the vested portion of your Option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the 90th day after your termination date.

 

If your Service terminates because of your death or Disability, or if you die during the 90-day period after your termination for any reason, then the vested portion of your Option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date twelve (12) months after the date of your death or termination for Disability. During that twelve (12) month period, your estate or heirs may exercise the vested portion of your Option.
