Disability of Optionee. If Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of his or her Disability, Optionee may exercise the Option to the extent the Option is vested on the date of exercise, but only within twelve (12) months from the date Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider (and in no event later than the expiration date of the term of this Option as set forth in the Grant Notice). To the extent that Optionee does not exercise this Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

Disability or Death of Optionee. Except if Optionee is granted an option as an organizer of the Company, if Optionee loses his or its status as an Eligible Participant under the Plan by reason of death or if Optionee is disabled while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, or if Optionee dies or becomes so disabled during the three-month period referred to in Paragraph 5 hereof, this Stock Option shall automatically expire and terminate one (1) year after the date of Optionee’s disability or death or on the day specified in Paragraph 2 hereof, whichever is earlier. If Optionee is granted an option as an organizer of the Company, this Stock Option shall not expire as a result of such Optionee’s death or disability. After Optionee’s disability or death but before such expiration, the person or persons to whom Optionee’s rights under this Stock Option shall have passed by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, or the executor, administrator or conservator of Optionee’s estate, shall have the right to exercise this Stock Option to the extent that increments, if any, had become exercisable as of the date on which Optionee’s status as an Eligible Participant under the Plan had been terminated. For purposes hereof, “disability” shall have the same meaning as set forth in Section 14 of the Plan.

In the event of termination due to death or Disability of Optionee while in the employ of the Company, this Option shall become exercisable within 30 days of the termination due to death or Disability of Optionee and shall remain exercisable by Optionee or the person or the persons to whom those rights pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, if appropriate, by the legal representative of the Optionee or the estate of the Optionee at any time within two (2) years after the date of such death or Disability.

“Permanent Disability” shall mean “Disability” as such term is defined in any employment agreement between the Optionee and the Company, or, if there is no such employment agreement or such term is not defined therein, “Permanent Disability” shall mean a total and permanent disability as defined in the long-term disability plan of Laureate or the Subsidiary, as applicable, with which the Optionee is employed on the date as of which the existence of a Permanent Disability is to be determined.

If, before a Vesting Date, the Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Individual due to the Optionee’s death or Permanent Disability, the Optionee will vest on the Optionee’s termination date in the number of Shares subject to the Option that would have vested had the Optionee remained employed until the next scheduled Vesting Date.

Representations of Optionee. Optionee acknowledges that Optionee has received, read and understood the Plan and the Option Agreement and agrees to abide by and be bound by their terms and conditions. Optionee represents that Optionee is purchasing the Shares for Optionee’s own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution of any of such Shares.

Death of Optionee. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, if the Optionee of an Option dies while an Eligible Person or within three months after any Termination of Service other than for Cause or a Termination of Service by the Optionee (other than on account of death, Retirement or Disability), and has not fully exercised the Option, then the Option may be exercised in full, subject to the restrictions of Section 4(c) above, at any time within 12 months after the Optionee's death, by the Successor of the Optionee, but only to the extent that, at the date of death, the Optionee's right to exercise such Option had accrued and had not been forfeited pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement and had not previously been exercised.

Optionee’s Representations. In the event the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), at the time this Option is exercised, the Optionee shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option, deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

Death of Optionee. The Optionee may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive or to exercise any vested options that are unpaid or unexercised at the Optionee’s death. Beneficiaries may be named contingently or successively. A beneficiary designation must be made on a form prescribed by the Board of Directors and will not be effective until filed in writing with the Board of Directors.

The Optionee acknowledges that an Incentive Stock Option exercised more than three (3) months after the Optionee’s Termination of Service, other than by reason of death or disability, will be taxed as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
