Unless otherwise defined in this Stock Option Award, the terms used in this Stock Option Award shall have the meanings defined in the Plan.

1.Vesting Schedule/Exercise Schedule; Termination Period.
Regular Vesting Schedule/Exercise Schedule: Subject to any acceleration provisions contained in the Plan or set forth below, this Option shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with the following schedule: 100% of the Total Number of Shares subject to this Option shall vest and become exercisable on the third annual anniversary of the Date of Grant; provided that this Option shall cease vesting immediately upon Participant's Termination of Employment; provided further that, notwithstanding any acceleration provisions set forth below, this Option shall not vest or be exercisable until the earlier of (i) the date, following the initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock, that Pfizer Inc. transfers shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company to holders of Pfizer Inc. common stock by means of (A) one or more distributions of Class B Common Stock of the Company by Pfizer Inc. to holders of Pfizer Inc. common stock, (B) one or more offers to holders of Pfizer Inc. common stock to exchange their Pfizer common stock for shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company, or (C) any combination of (A) and (B), and (ii) the date that is two (2) years after the Date of Grant.
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan, Shares scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in accordance with any of the provisions of this Stock Option Award unless Participant has continuously and actively been employed with, or providing services to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs. For non-U.S. Participants and for purposes of this Option and participation in the Plan, Termination of Employment will be deemed to be as of the date that notice of termination is provided (whether by the Company or Subsidiary or Affiliate for any reason or by Participant upon resignation), and will not be extended by any notice period or “garden leave” that may be required contractually or under applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator (or any delegate) shall have the sole discretion to determine when Participant is no longer employed or providing services for purposes of this Option and participation in the Plan.

If Participant does not exercise this Option within the termination periods set forth in this Section 1, this Option shall terminate in its entirety. Participant is responsible for keeping track of these exercise periods following Participant's Termination of Employment. The Company will not provide further notice of these exercise periods.

For purposes of this Award, “Good Reason” means Participant's resignation due to the occurrence of any of the following conditions which occurs without Participant's written consent, provided that the requirements regarding advance notice and an opportunity to cure set forth below are satisfied: (i) a material reduction of Participant's base compensation (other than as part of an across-the-board salary reduction applicable to all similarly situated employees); (ii) a material reduction of Participant's duties, authority, responsibilities or reporting relationship, relative to Participant's duties, authority, responsibilities or reporting relationship as in effect immediately prior to such reduction; or (iii) the Company (or a successor, if appropriate) requires Participant to relocate to a facility or location more than twenty-five (25) miles away from the location at which Participant was working immediately prior to the required relocation and such relocation increases Participant's one way commute by thirty (30) minutes or more during normal commuting hours and under typical traffic conditions.  In order for Participant to resign for Good Reason, Participant must provide written notice to the Company of the existence of the Good Reason condition within sixty (60) days of the initial existence of such Good Reason condition and not be required to provide for the acceleration of vesting described herein as a result of such proposed resignation.

(b)    Method of Exercise. This Option may only be exercised in a manner, and pursuant to such procedures, as the Administrator may determine from time to time, provided any such procedures shall including Participant's election to exercise this Option, the number of Shares in respect of which this Option is being exercised (the “Exercised

-4-


Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company. The exercise must be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Grant Price as to all Exercised Shares. This Option will be deemed to be exercised only upon receipt by the Company of Participant's election to exercise, the aggregate Grant Price for the Exercised Shares, and any payment or satisfaction in a manner acceptable to the Company of any applicable Tax-Related Items.

(b)    consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless exercise program adopted by the Company in connection with the Plan and executed via a third party vendor; or
(c)    attest to, or surrender of, other Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of attestation or surrender equal to the aggregate Grant Price of the Exercised Shares, provided that accepting such Shares, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, will not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company.
Participant understands and agrees that any cross-border remittance made to exercise this option or transfer proceeds received upon the sale of Shares must be made through a locally authorized financial institution or registered foreign exchange agency, and may require Participant to provide such entity with certain information regarding the transaction.    
4.Tax Obligations.
(a)    Taxes and other Required Payments. Regardless of any action the Company or Participant's employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all applicable national, local, or other taxes or social contributions, withholdings, required deductions, or other payments, if any, that arise upon the grant, vesting, or exercise of this Option, the holding or subsequent sale of Shares, and the receipt of dividends, if any (“Tax-Related Items”), Participant acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Participant is and remains Participant's responsibility, and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Option, including the grant, vesting, or exercise of this Option, the holding or subsequent sale of Shares acquired under the Plan and the receipt of dividends, if any; and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of this Option or any aspect of this Option to reduce or eliminate Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items, or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant has become subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)    No Shares will be issued to Participant pursuant to this Option or payment will be made to Participant (or his or her estate or beneficiary) with respect to this Option unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company) have been made by Participant with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items obligations of the Company and/or the Employer with respect to this Option. In this regard, Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(i)    withholding from Participant's wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company or the Employer;
(ii)    minimum statutory withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company and executed by a third party vendor (on Participant's behalf pursuant to this authorization);
(iii)    minimum statutory withholding in Shares to be issued upon exercise of this Option; or
(iv)    surrendering already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the Tax-Related Items, so long as the surrender of such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company.
If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding Shares, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares purchased for tax purposes, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of Participant's participation in the Plan. Participant shall pay to the

-5-


Company or Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of Participant's participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by one or more of the means previously described in this Section 4. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
5.Rights as Stockholder. Until the issuance of the Shares subject to this Option (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a holder of capital stock shall exist with respect to this Option, notwithstanding the exercise of this Option. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 3.2 of the Plan.
6.No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE EMPLOYER) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THE OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS STOCK OPTION AWARD, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT'S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE EMPLOYER) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT'S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE (SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW).
7.Nature of Grant. In accepting this Option, Participant acknowledges that:
(a)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;
(b)    the grant of this Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Options, or benefits in lieu of Options, even if Options have been granted repeatedly in the past;
(c)    all decisions with respect to future awards of Options, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)    Participant's participation in the Plan is voluntary;
(e)    this Option and the Shares subject to this Option are extraordinary items that do not constitute regular compensation for services rendered to the Company or the Employer, and that are outside the scope of Participant's employment contract, if any;
(f)    this Option and the Shares subject to this Option are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(g)    this Option and the Shares subject to this Option are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, or end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or the Employer;
(h)    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; further, if Participant exercises this Option and obtains Shares, the value of the Shares acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the Grant Price;
(i)    Participant also understands that neither the Company, nor any affiliate is responsible for any foreign exchange fluctuation between local currency and the United States Dollar or the selection by the Company or any affiliate in its sole discretion of an applicable foreign currency exchange rate that may affect the value of this Option (or the calculation of income or Tax-Related Items thereunder);
(j)    in consideration of the grant of this Option, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of this Option resulting from termination of employment by the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and

-6-


whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and Participant irrevocably releases the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim; and
(k)    this Option and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a Change in Control, merger, take-over or transfer of liability.
8.No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant's participation in the Plan, or Participant's acquisition or sale of the Shares underlying this Award.

Participant understands that the Company and its Affiliates may hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant's name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company or any Affiliate, details of all Options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant's favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Personal Data”). Participant understands that Personal Data may be transferred to any Affiliate or third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in the United States, Participant's country (if different than the United States), or elsewhere, and that the recipient's country may have different data privacy laws and protections than Participant's country.

The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state, federal or foreign law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Exercised Shares will be considered transferred to Participant on the date this Option is exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares, subject to applicable law. The Company shall not be obligated to treat this Option as outstanding or issue any Shares pursuant to this Option at any time if the grant of this Option, the issuance of Shares pursuant to this Option, or the exercise of an Option by Participant, violates or is not in compliance with any laws, rules or regulations of the United States or any state or country.
