Trade Secrets and Confidential Information will not include any information that has been published (other than a disclosure by Participant in breach of this Agreement) in a form generally available to the public prior to the date Participant proposes to disclose or use such information. Trade Secrets and Confidential Information will not be deemed to have been published merely because individual portions of the information have been separately published, but only if all material features comprising such information have been published in combination.

(f) “Work Product” means all inventions, innovations, improvements, technical information, systems, software developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, service marks, trademarks, trade names, logos and all similar or related information (whether patentable or unpatentable, copyrightable, registerable as a trademark, reduced to writing, or otherwise) that relates to the Company Group’s actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services and which are conceived, developed or made by Participant (whether or not during usual business hours, whether or not by the use of the facilities of the Company Group, and whether or not alone or in conjunction with any other Person) while employed by, or providing services to, any Company Group Member (including those conceived, developed or made prior to the date of Participant’s employment by or services with any Company Group Member) together with all patent applications, letters patent, trademark, trade name and service mark applications or registrations, copyrights and reissues thereof that may be granted for or upon any of the foregoing.

ARTICLE III.

PERIOD OF EXERCISABILITY

3.1 Commencement of Exercisability.

(a) Subject to Participant’s continued employment with or service to a Company Group Member on each applicable vesting date and subject to Sections 3.2, 3.3, 6.9 and 6.16 hereof, the Option shall become vested and exercisable in such amounts and at such times as are set forth in the Grant Notice.

(b) Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or as set forth in a written agreement between Participant and the Company, any portion of the Option that has not become vested and exercisable on or prior to the date of Participant’s Termination of Service (including, without limitation, pursuant to any employment or similar agreement by and between Participant and the Company) shall be forfeited on the date of Participant’s Termination of Service and shall not thereafter become vested or exercisable.

3.2 Duration of Exercisability. The installments provided for in the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice are cumulative. Each such installment that 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. Once the Option becomes unexercisable, it shall be forfeited immediately.

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;

(b) Except as the Administrator may otherwise approve, the expiration of one (1) year from the date of Participant’s Termination of Service by reason of Participant’s death;

(c) Except as the Administrator may otherwise approve, upon Participant’s Termination of Service for Cause; or

(d) Except as the Administrator may otherwise approve, in the event of Participant’s Termination of Service for any other reason, the expiration of 90 days from the date of Participant’s Termination of Service.

A-3

3.4 Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(a) The Company Group has the authority to deduct or withhold, or require Participant to remit to the applicable Company Group Member, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including the employee portion of any FICA obligation) required by Applicable Law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising pursuant to this Agreement. The Company Group may withhold or Participant may make such payment in one or more of the forms specified below:

(i) by cash or check made payable to the Company Group Member with respect to which the withholding obligation arises;

(ii) by the deduction of such amount from other compensation payable to Participant;

(iii) with respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the exercise of the Option, with the consent of the Administrator, by requesting that the Company withhold a net number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Option having a then current Fair Market Value not exceeding the amount necessary to satisfy the withholding obligation of the Company Group based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in Participant’s applicable jurisdictions for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such taxable income;

(iv) with respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the exercise of the Option, with the consent of the Administrator, by tendering to the Company vested Shares held for such period of time as may be required by the Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences and having a then current Fair Market Value not exceeding the amount necessary to satisfy the withholding obligation of the Company Group based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in Participant’s applicable jurisdictions for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such taxable income;

(v) with respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the exercise of the Option, through the delivery of a notice that Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to Shares then issuable to Participant pursuant to the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company Group Member with respect to which the withholding obligation arises in satisfaction of such withholding taxes; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the applicable Company Group Member at such time as may be required by the Administrator, but in any event not later than the settlement of such sale; or

(vi) in any combination of the foregoing.

(b) With respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the Option, in the event Participant fails to provide timely payment of all sums required pursuant to Section 3.4(a), the Company shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to treat such failure as an election by Participant to satisfy all or any portion of Participant’s required payment obligation pursuant to Section 3.4(a)(ii) or Section 3.4(a)(iii) above, or any combination of the foregoing as the Company may determine to be appropriate. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any certificate representing Shares issuable with respect to the exercise of the Option to, or to cause any such Shares to be held in book-entry form by, Participant or his or her legal representative unless and until Participant or his or her legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state, local and foreign taxes applicable with respect to the taxable income of Participant resulting from the exercise of the Option or any other taxable event related to the Option.

A-4

(c) In the event any tax withholding obligation arising in connection with the Option will be satisfied under Section 3.4(a)(iii), then the Company may elect to instruct any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell on Participant’s behalf a whole number of Shares from those Shares then issuable upon the exercise of the Option as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the tax withholding obligation and to remit the proceeds of such sale to the Company Group Member with respect to which the withholding obligation arises. Participant’s acceptance of this Option constitutes Participant’s instruction and authorization to the Company and such brokerage firm to complete the transactions described in this Section 3.4(c), including the transactions described in the previous sentence, as applicable. The Company may refuse to issue any Shares to Participant until the foregoing tax withholding obligations are satisfied, provided that no payment shall be delayed under this Section 3.4(c) if such delay will result in a violation of Section 409A.

(d) Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for, and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company Group from, all taxes and social security or national insurance contributions owed in connection with the Option (including the grant or exercise of the Option or the acquisition or disposal of any Shares), regardless of any action any Company Group Member takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Option. No Company Group Member makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of Shares. The Company Group does not commit and is under no obligation to structure the Option to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability.

ARTICLE IV.

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

5.1 Confidential Information.

(a) Participant shall not disclose or use at any time, either during his or her service as an employee or other service provider of any Company Group Member or thereafter, any Trade Secrets and Confidential Information of which he or she becomes aware, whether or not such information is developed by Participant, except to the extent that such disclosure or use is directly related to and required by Participant’s performance in good faith of duties for the Company Group. Participant will take all appropriate steps to safeguard Trade Secrets and Confidential Information in his or her possession and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. Participant shall deliver to the Company at the termination of his or her employment or services, or at any time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) relating to the Trade Secrets and Confidential Information or the Work Product of the business of the Company Group that Participant may then possess or have under his or her control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participant may truthfully respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process, but shall give the Company the earliest possible notice thereof.

(b) All Work Product that Participant may have discovered, invented or originated during his or her employment by, or service to, any Company Group Member(s) prior to such employment or service, that Participant may discover, invent or originate during his or her employment or service or at any time following the termination of his or her employment with, or service to, the applicable Company Group Member(s), shall be the exclusive property of the Company Group, and Participant hereby assigns all of his or her right, title and interest in and to such Work Product to the Company or the applicable Company Group Member, including all intellectual property rights therein. Participant shall promptly disclose all Work Product to the Company, shall execute at the request of the Company any assignments or other documents the Company may deem necessary to protect or perfect its (or any Company Group Member’s as applicable) rights therein, and shall assist the Company, at the Company’s expense, in obtaining, defending and enforcing the Company’s (or any Company Group Member’s, as applicable) rights therein. Participant hereby appoints the Company as his or her attorney-in-fact to execute on his or her behalf any assignments or other documents deemed necessary by the Company to protect or perfect each Company Group Member’s rights to any Work Product.

5.2 Restriction on Competition. During Participant’s service as an employee or other service provider of any Company Group Member and thereafter through the date that is twelve (12) months following the Cessation Date (as applicable, the “Restricted Period”), Participant shall not operate, have any ownership interest in, enter the employ of, provide consulting services for or to, serve as a board member of, or render services or advice in any similar capacity to, any contract research organization that provides clinical trial management, laboratory, imaging, regulatory, monitoring, data management, biometrics or medical writing services or support of clinical trials or development programs sponsored by the pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical device companies or industries (any of the foregoing, a “Competitive Business”) in North America and elsewhere in the world where the Company Group engages in business, or reasonably anticipates engaging in business, on the applicable Cessation Date (the “Restricted Area”), or perform management, executive or supervisory functions with respect to, join, control, render financial assistance to, receive any economic benefit from, exert any influence upon, participate in, render services or advice to, any business or Person that engages or could reasonably be

A-7

expected to engage in a Competitive Business in the Restricted Area; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 5.2, ownership of securities having no more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding voting power of any Competitive Business which is listed on any national securities exchange shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Section 5.2 as long as the Person owning such securities has no other connection or relationship with such competitor.

5.3 Non-Solicitation and Non-Interference with Customers, etc. During the Restricted Period, Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, induce or attempt to induce any Person that is, or was at any time during the twelve (12) month period preceding the Cessation Date, a customer, supplier, manufacturer or other material business relation of any Company Group Member to cease doing business with any Company Group Member or in any way interfere with the relationship between any Company Group Member and any such customer, supplier, manufacturer or other material business relation, or solicit, directly or indirectly, for any competitive purpose, the business of any such customer, supplier, manufacturer or business relation of any Company Group Member.

5.4 Non-Solicitation of Company Group Employees. During the Restricted Period, Participant shall not solicit, recruit or hire, directly or indirectly, any Person who at any time on or after the Grant Date is a Company Group Employee; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) a general solicitation to the public of general advertising or (b) Participant from soliciting, recruiting or hiring any Company Group Employee who has ceased to be employed or retained by any Company Group Member for at least 12 months. For purposes of this Section 5.4, “Company Group Employees” means, collectively, officers, directors and employees or substantially full-time consultants of the Company Group Members.

5.5 Non-Disparagement. Participant shall not at any time, either during or after his or her service as an employee or other service provider of a Company Group Member, (a) directly or indirectly, make or affirmatively ratify any statement, public or private, oral or written, to any Person that disparages, either professionally or personally, any Company Group Member or any affiliate or stockholder thereof, past and present, or any of their respective directors, officers, agents, attorneys, insurers, employees, stockholders, and successors, past and present, or (b) make any statement or engage in any conduct that has the purpose or effect of disrupting the business of any Company Group Member or any affiliate or stockholder thereof; provided that nothing in this provision shall in any way limit Participant’s right to (i) make truthful statements to correct any false statements made by any Company Group Member about Participant or (ii) provide truthful information to a government agency, to respond to a subpoena, or to testify truthfully under oath.

5.6 Understanding of Covenants. Participant agrees that the foregoing covenants set forth in this Article V (the “Restrictive Covenants”) are reasonable, including in temporal and geographical scope, and in all other respects, and necessary to protect the Company Group’s confidential information, goodwill, stable workforce and customer relations. Participant and the Company intend that the Restrictive Covenants shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each county or province of each and every state or jurisdiction within the Restricted Area and one for each month of the Restricted Period. Participant understands that the Restrictive Covenants may limit his or her ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the business of the Company Group, but nevertheless believes that he or she has received and will receive sufficient consideration and other benefits as an employee or other service provider of a Company Group Member and as otherwise provided hereunder to clearly justify such restrictions which, in any event (given Participant’s education, skills and ability), Participant does not believe would prevent him or her from otherwise earning a living. Participant agrees that the Restrictive Covenants do not confer a benefit upon the Company Group disproportionate to Participant’s detriment. Participant has independently consulted with his or her counsel and after such consultation agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and proper to protect the legitimate interest of the Company Group.

A-8

5.7 Enforcement. Participant acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants are an essential element of this Agreement and are being provided in consideration of the Option granted pursuant to this Agreement, and that any breach by Participant of any provision of this Article V will result in irreparable injury to the Company Group. The Participant acknowledges that in the event of such a breach, in addition to all other remedies available at law, the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond therefor. If, at the time of enforcement of this Article V a court of competent jurisdiction shall hold that either the duration or scope stated herein is unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration or scope under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration or scope and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period and scope permitted by Applicable Law. To the extent of any breach of this Article V by Participant, his or her Restricted Period shall automatically be extended by the length of such breach.

5.8 Forfeiture Upon Violation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that may provide to the contrary, in the event of Participant’s violation of any Restrictive Covenant within this Article V or any other agreement by and between Participant and any Company Group Member, as determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, then (a) the Option shall immediately be terminated and forfeited in its entirety and (b) Participant shall pay to the Company in cash any financial gain Participant realized from exercising all or a portion of the Option during the 12-month period immediately preceding (or at any time after) the date of such violation. For purposes of this Section 5.8, “financial gain” shall equal the sum of (x) any excess of the greater of (i) the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of exercise and (ii) the Fair Market Value per Share as of the time of Participant’s sale of such Shares, if any, over the Exercise Price, multiplied by the number of Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise (without reduction for any Shares surrendered) and (y) any and all dividends paid to Participant with respect to the Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise. By accepting this Option, Participant hereby acknowledges, agrees and authorizes the Company to reduce any amounts owed by any Company Group Member (including amounts owed as wages or other compensation, fringe benefits, or vacation pay, as well as any other amounts owed to Participant by any Company Group Member), by the amounts Participant owes to the Company under this Section 5.8. To the extent such amounts are not recovered by the Company through such set-off, Participant agrees to pay such amounts immediately to the Company upon demand. This right of set-off is in addition to any other remedies the Company may have against Participant for Participant’s breach of this Agreement or any other agreement. Participant’s obligations under this Section 5.8 shall be cumulative (but not duplicative) of any similar obligations Participant may have pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement with any Company Group Member.

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 any Company Group Member or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company Group, 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 a Company Group Member and Participant.

6.13 Acknowledgment of Nature of Plan and Option. In accepting this Option, Participant acknowledges that:

(a) the award of the Option (and the Shares subject to the Option) the Company is making under the Plan is unilateral and discretionary and will not give rise to any future obligation on the Company to make further Awards under the Plan to Participant;

(b) for labor law purposes, the Option and the Shares subject to the Option are not part of normal or expected wages or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for any Company Group Member or any affiliate thereof;

(c) Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(d) the Option and the Shares subject to the Option are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(e) neither the Option nor any provision of this Agreement, the Plan or the policies adopted pursuant to the Plan confer upon Participant any right with respect to employment or continuation of current employment and shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with any Company Group Member or any affiliate thereof, and any modification of the Plan or the Agreement or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of employment;

(f) if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value;

(g) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If Participant exercises the Option and obtains Shares, the value of the Shares acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the Exercise Price; and

A-11

(h) in consideration of the grant of the Option hereunder, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the Option, and no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Option resulting from termination of Participant’s employment by any Company Group Member or any affiliate thereof (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and Participant irrevocably releases each Company Group Member 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 Participant’s entitlement to pursue such claim.

6.14 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 Group holds certain personal information, including 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 Participant’s favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). Participant is aware that providing the Company with Participant’s Data is necessary for the performance of this Agreement and that Participant’s refusal to provide such Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. The Company Group will transfer Data to third parties in the course of its or their business, including for the purpose of assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. However, from time to time and without notice, the Company Group may retain additional or different third parties for any of the purposes mentioned. The Company Group may also make Data available to public authorities where required under Applicable Law. Such recipients may be located in the jurisdiction which Participant is based or elsewhere in the world, which Participant separately and expressly consents to, accepting that outside the jurisdiction which Participant is based, data protection laws may not be as protective as within. Participant hereby authorizes the Company Group and all such third parties to receive, possess, use, retain, process and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, in the course of the Company Group’s business, including for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing participation in the Plan, and 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 to whom Participant may have elected to have payment made pursuant to the Plan. Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting Participant’s local human resources representative. 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 human resources representative; 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 Participant’s participation in the Plan and any subsequent claims or rights.

6.15 Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including any exhibit hereto) 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, subject to the last sentence of Section 5.8 hereof.

6.16 Section 409A. This Award is not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A. However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, if at any time the Administrator determines that this Award (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 adopt other policies

A-12

and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate for this Award either to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

6.17 Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision of the Grant Notice or this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of the Grant Notice or this Agreement.

6.18 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 right to receive Shares as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the Option, as and when exercised pursuant to the terms hereof.

6.19 Counterparts. The Grant Notice may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by way of any electronic signature, subject to Applicable Law, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

6.20 Broker-Assisted Sales. In the event of any broker-assisted sale of Shares in connection with the payment of withholding taxes as provided in Section 3.4(a)(v) or Section 3.4(c) or the payment of the Exercise Price as provided in Section 4.4(c): (a) any Shares to be sold through a broker-assisted sale will be sold on the day the tax withholding obligation or exercise of the Option, as applicable, occurs or arises, or as soon thereafter as practicable; (b) such Shares may be sold as part of a block trade with other participants in the Plan in which all participants receive an average price; (c) Participant will be responsible for all broker’s fees and other costs of sale, and Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale; (d) to the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed the applicable tax withholding obligation or Exercise Price, the Company agrees to pay such excess in cash to Participant as soon as reasonably practicable; (e) Participant acknowledges that the Company or its designee is under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price, and that the proceeds of any such sale may not be sufficient to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligation or Exercise Price; and (f) in the event the proceeds of such sale are insufficient to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligation, Participant agrees to pay immediately upon demand to the Company Group Member with respect to which the withholding obligation arises an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any remaining portion of the applicable Company Group Member’s withholding obligation.

6.21 Incentive Stock Options. Participant acknowledges that to the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares (determined as of the time the option with respect to the Shares is granted) with respect to which Incentive Stock Options, including this Option (if applicable), are exercisable for the first time by Participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000 or if for any other reason such Incentive Stock Options do not qualify or cease to qualify for treatment as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code, such Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. Participant further acknowledges that the rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking the Option and other 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 Service, other than by reason of death or disability, will be taxed as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

A-13

6.22 Notification of Disposition. If this Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option, Participant shall give prompt written notice to the Company of any disposition or other transfer of any Shares acquired under this Agreement if such disposition or transfer is made (a) within two (2) years from the Grant Date or (b) within one (1) year after the transfer of such Shares 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.
