AGREEMENT |
1. Grant of Option. The Administrator grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Share Option Grant in Part I of this Option Agreement, an Option to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Share Option Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Share Option Grant (the “Exercise Price”), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan prevail.
If designated in the Notice of Share Option Grant as an Incentive Share Option, this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Share Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code. Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds the US$100,000 rule of Section 422(d) of the Code, this Option will be treated as a Nonstatutory Share Option.
2. Exercise of Option.
(a) Right to Exercise. This Option is exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Share Option Grant and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.
(b) Method of Exercise. This Option is exercisable by (i) delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), or in a manner and pursuant to procedures as the Administrator may determine, which will state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company and (ii) paying the Company in full the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Shares being acquired, together with any applicable tax withholding.
This Option will be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of a fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price, together with any applicable tax withholding.
No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the issuance and exercise of Shares complies with Applicable Laws. Assuming compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares will be considered transferred to Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to the Shares.
3. Method of Payment. The aggregate Exercise Price may be paid by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of Optionee:
(a) cash;
(b) check;
(c) to the extent permittd by the Administrator and not prohibited by Section 402 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002, a promissory note;
(d) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, other Shares, provided such Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which the Option will be exercised (such Shares will be repurchased by the Company at a repurchase price equal to their Fair Market Value);
(e) if the Shares are publicly traded, and to the extent not prohibited by Section 402 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002, in accordance with any broker-assisted cashless exercise procedures approved by the Company and as in effect from time to time;
(f) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, by asking the Company to withhold Shares from the total Shares to be delivered upon exercise equal to the number of Shares having a value equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares being acquired;
(g) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or
(h) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by the Administrator and Applicable Laws.
4. Restrictions on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised (a) until such time as the Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company, or (b) if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Laws. The Company will be relieved of any liability with respect to any delayed issuance of shares or its failure to issue shares if such delay or failure is necessary to comply with Applicable Laws.
5. Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution or, upon notice to and consent of the Company, to family members (as defined in the Plan), and may be exercised only by Optionee or Designated Beneficiary. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement are binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Optionee.
6. Term of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Share Option Grant, and may be exercised during the term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.
7. No Rights as Shareholder. Until the issuance of the Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry in the register of members of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder exists with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. Subject to the requirements of Section 8 and Section 11 below, the Shares will be issued to Optionee as soon as practicable after the Option is exercised in accordance with the Option Agreement. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance except as provided in the Plan
8. Tax Obligations.
(a) Withholding Taxes. Optionee agrees to arrange for the satisfaction of all national, federal, provincial, state and local taxes (including income and employment taxes) required by Applicable Laws to be withheld with respect to the grant and exercise of the Option. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise. In this regard, Optionee authorizes the Company or his/her actual employer to withhold all applicable tax withholding legally payable by Optionee from Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation payable to Optionee by the Company or his/her employer or from any equivalent cash payment received upon exercise of the Option. Alternatively, the Company or the employer may permit Optionee to satisfy such withholding or payment on account obligations, in whole or in part (without limitation) by paying cash. In addition, if permissible under local law, the Company or the employer, in their sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as they may specify from time to time, may (a) withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld, and/or (b) sell or arrange for the sale of a sufficient number of such Shares otherwise deliverable to Optionee through such means as the Company may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld. Optionee shall pay to the Company or to the employer any amount of tax that the Company or the employer may be required to withhold as a result of the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.
(b) Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option granted to Optionee is an ISO, and if Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (i) the date two (2) years after the Grant Date, or (ii) the date one (1) year after the date of exercise, Optionee must immediately notify the Company of the disposition in writing. Optionee agrees that Optionee may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by Optionee.
(c) Code Section 409A. Under Section 409A of the Code, an Option that vests after December 31, 2004 that was granted with a per Share exercise price that is determined by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) to be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date (a “discount option”) may be considered deferred compensation. For an Optionee subject to U.S. income tax, an Option that is a discount option may result in (i) income recognition by Optionee prior to the exercise of the Option, (ii) an additional twenty percent (20%) tax, and (iii) potential penalty and interest charges. Optionee acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not guaranteed that the IRS will agree that the per Share Exercise Price of this Option equals or exceeds Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date in a later examination. Optionee agrees that if the IRS determines that the Option was granted with a per Share exercise price that was less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date, Optionee will be solely responsible for any and all resulting tax consequences.
9. No Guarantee of Continued Service. OPTIONEE 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 AFFILIATE EMPLOYING OR RETAINING OPTIONEE) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS OPTION AGREEMENT, 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 OPTIONEE’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE AFFILIATE EMPLOYING OR RETAINING OPTIONEE) TO TERMINATE OPTIONEE’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.
10. Notices. All notices or other communications which are required or permitted hereunder will be in writing and sufficient if (i) personally delivered or sent by telecopy, (ii) sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier or (iii) sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

The Administrator has the power to determine what constitutes a breach or threatened breach of this Option Agreement or the Plan.

Should the Company fail to register any grant, vest, exercise of Option, or fail to issue the Shares to Optionee due to any restriction or limitation under the Securities Acts or such other rules and regulations, Optionee shall hold the Company, its Affiliates, or any of its or their officers and directors free from any liability for any of the foregoing failure.

25. Other Agreements.
(a) Optionee understands and acknowledges that (i) the Plan is entirely discretionary, (ii) the Company and his/her employer have reserved the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, (iii) the grant of an Option does not in any way create any contractual or other right to receive additional grants of Options (or benefits in lieu of Options) at any time or in any amount and (iv) all determinations with respect to any additional grants, including (without limitation) the times when Options will be granted, the number of Shares offered, the exercise price and the vesting schedule, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.

If the Company posts these documents on a website, it will notify Optionee by e-mail.
26. Resale Restrictions. Optionee hereby agrees that in connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Act, including the Company’s initial public offering, Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in any transaction prohibited by the underwriter, or sell, make any short sale of, contract to sell, transfer the economic risk of ownership in, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer for value or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to any Shares without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters, for such period of time after the effective date of such registration statement as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters. Such period of time shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days and may be required by the underwriter as a market condition of the offering; provided, however, that if either (a) during the last seventeen (17) days of such one hundred eighty (180) day period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs or (b) prior to the expiration of such one hundred eighty (180) day period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the sixteen (16) day period beginning on the last day of the one hundred eighty (180) day period, then the restrictions imposed during such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall continue to apply until the expiration of the eighteen (18) day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event; provided, further, that in the event the Company or the underwriter requests that the one hundred eighty (180) day period be extended or modified pursuant to then-applicable law, rules, regulations or trading policies, the restrictions imposed during the one hundred eighty (180) day period shall continue to apply to the extent requested by the Company or the underwriter to comply with such law, rules, regulations or trading policies. Optionee hereby agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. To enforce the provisions of this Section, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares until the end of the applicable stand-off period.
