AWARD AGREEMENT

     Section 1. Grant of Option. As of [Insert Grant Date], ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Micro Inc. (“Micro”) hereby grants to [Legal Name] (“Optionee”) a non-qualified stock option (the “Option”) exercisable in whole or in part, to purchase, pursuant to the terms hereof, X,XXX shares of Class A Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, of Micro’s common stock (the “Common Stock”), at a price of $XX.XX per share pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Micro Inc. 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein are used with the same meanings as in the Plan.

     Section 2. Non-Qualified Stock Option. This Option is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock option as that term is used in Section 422 of the Code.

     Section 3. Time of Exercise; Expiration. (a) This Option shall become exercisable set forth below:

          Shares           Vesting Date

 

 

     (b) The Option may not be exercised after 5:00pm (PST) in Santa Ana, California, on [Insert Date].

     Section 4. Manner of Exercise. This Option shall be exercised by Optionee (or other party entitled to exercise the Option under Section 6(b) of this Award Agreement) by delivering written notice to the stock plan administrator stating the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased and the address and Social Insurance number of the purchaser, together with payment of the purchase price for the shares of Common Stock being purchased in a manner permitted by Section 6(d) of the Plan and plus an amount sufficient to satisfy the tax withholding requirement set forth in Section 14(e) of the Plan, if necessary.

     Section 5. Nontransferability of Option. This Option shall not be transferable by Optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The terms of this Option shall be binding on the executors, administrators, heirs and Successors of Optionee.

     Section 6. Termination of Employment (as defined under Section 11 of the Plan).

(a) If your employment is terminated for any reason other than death, Disability, Retirement or Cause your vested Non-Qualified Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will expire 90 days from your termination. Unless the Committee otherwise provides, if your employment with us or any of our Affiliates is terminated for any reason other than your death, Disability, Retirement or Cause, your Non-Qualified Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will expire 90 days (or, if later, on the 15^th day following the end of any Micro-imposed restrictions in effect during such 90 day period on your ability to engage in transactions involving Shares (such 15^th day, the “Extended Date”)) following such termination, or the date your Options or Stock Appreciation Rights would otherwise expire by their terms, had it not been for your termination date. Your Non-Qualified Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights will be exercisable prior to the expiration date only if they would be exercisable on the date of your termination of employment. Any time you spend in the status of “leave without pay” extends the period otherwise required for purposes of determining the extent to which any Award or portion has vested or become exercisable or nonforfeitable.

     (b) If your employment is terminated as a result of your death, your vested Non-Qualified Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will expire five years from your date of death. Unless the Committee otherwise provides, if you die while employed by us or any of our Affiliates, your estate will have the right to exercise your vested Non-Qualified Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights through the fifth anniversary of your death, but not later than the date your Options or Rights would otherwise expire by their terms.

     (c) If your employment is terminated as a result of your death, your unvested Non-Qualified Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will immediately vest and will expire five years from your date of death. Unless the Committee otherwise provides, if you die while employed by us or any of our Affiliates, your unvested Non-Qualified Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will immediately vest. Your estate will have the right to exercise your newly vested Non-Qualified Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights through the fifth anniversary of your death, but not later than the date your Options or Rights would otherwise expire by their terms.

     (d) If your employment is terminated as a result of your Disability, your vested Non-Qualified Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will expire five years from your disability termination date.

     (e) If your employment is terminated as a result of your Disability, your unvested Non-Qualified Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will immediately vest and will expire five years from your disability termination date. You will have the right to exercise your newly vested Non-Qualified Stock

Options and Stock Appreciation Rights through the fifth anniversary of your disability termination date, but not later than the date your Options or Rights would otherwise expire by their terms.

     (f) If your employment is terminated due to Retirement, your vested Non-Qualified Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will expire five years from your retirement date. Unless the Committee otherwise provides, if you retire from employment with us or any of our Affiliates, you will have the right to exercise your vested Non-Qualified Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights through the fifth anniversary of your retirement date, but not later than the date your Options or Rights would otherwise expire by their terms. Unless the Committee otherwise permits, the Committee has determined that the term “Retirement” means that your employment has terminated other than by reason of death, Disability or Cause and that all of the following criteria have been satisfied at the time of termination: (1) you are at least 50 years of age, (2) you have completed at least five years of service with the Company and our Affiliates.

     (g) If your employment is terminated for Cause. In the event Awardee’s employment with Micro or an Affiliate is involuntarily terminated by Micro or an Affiliate for cause (“cause” shall mean Awardee’s commission of a felony, gross negligence, fraud or material failure to use his/her best efforts to perform his/her duties to Micro or an Affiliate, which material failure continues for a period of 30 days following written notice thereof from Micro or an Affiliate), Awardee’s unvested Non-Qualified Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right Award will be cancelled (forfeited) on such termination date. Upon Awardee’s termination for cause during the period before the Non-Qualified Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right Award has vested, Awardee forfeits Awardee’s rights to the then unvested Non-Qualified Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right Award.

     (h) Except as the Committee may otherwise determine, termination of Awardee’s employment or service for any reason shall occur on the date such Awardee ceases to perform services for Micro or any Affiliate without regard to whether such Awardee continues thereafter to receive any compensatory payments therefrom or is paid salary thereby in lieu of notice of termination or, with respect to a member of the Board who is not also an employee of Micro or any Affiliate, the date such Awardee is no longer a member of the Board.

     (i) If you are employed outside the United States. Unless the Committee otherwise provides, in the event of your termination of employment for any reason other than death, Disability, Retirement or Cause, if you are employed outside the United States, your right to exercise any Non-Qualified Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights shall terminate, and such Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall expire and lapse, on the earlier of (x) the 90th day (or if later, the Extended Date) following the first to occur of (1) the time Micro or its Affiliate (your employer) gives notice to you of your termination of employment, or (2) you give notice to Micro or its Affiliate (your employer) to terminate your employment, or (3) if no such notice is given, on the date your employment with Micro or its Affiliate (your employer) is terminated (whichever the first to occur of (1), (2) or (3) collectively, “Notice/Termination”) or (y) the date such Option or Stock Appreciation Right would have expired had it not been for the Notice/Termination. You shall have the right to exercise such Option or Stock Appreciation Right prior to such expiration to the extent it was exercisable at the date of Notice/Termination and shall not have been exercised. You shall not be entitled and, by accepting the grant of any Non-Qualified Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any entitlement, by way of compensation for loss of office or damages for breach of contract or otherwise, to any sum or other benefit to compensate for the loss of any rights under the Plan.

     Section 7. Restrictions on Purchase and Sale of Shares. Micro shall not be obligated to sell or issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Option unless the shares are at that time effectively registered or exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     Section 8. Adjustment. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option and the price per share of such shares may be adjusted by Micro from time to time pursuant to the Plan.

     Section 9. No Rights Until Exercise. Optionee shall have no rights hereunder as a shareholder with respect to any shares subject to this Option until he or she becomes the registered holder of such shares.

     Section 10. Amendment. This Option may be amended as provided in the Plan.

     Section 11. Plan and Prospectus. This Option is subject to all the terms of the Plan and the related prospectus, a copy of which has been received by the Optionee.

     Section 12. Severability. The provisions of this Award Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

     Section 13. Acknowledgement.

	(a)		Nature of Grant.
			In accepting the grant, you acknowledge that:
	(i)		the Plan is established voluntarily by Micro, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, suspended or terminated by Micro at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Award Agreement;
	(ii)		the grant of the 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;
	(iii)		all decisions with respect to future option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of Micro;
	(iv)		your participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with your employer and shall not interfere with the ability of your employer to terminate your employment relationship at any time with or without cause;
	(v)		you are voluntarily participating in the Plan;
	(vi)		the Option is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to

Micro or your employer, and which is outside the scope of your employment contract, if any;

	(vii)		the Option is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;
	(viii)		in the event that you are an employee of a subsidiary or Affiliate of Micro, the option grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with Micro; and furthermore, the option grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with your employer or any subsidiary or Affiliate of Micro;
	(ix)		the future value of the underlying shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
	(x)		if the underlying shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value;
	(xi)		if you exercise your Option and obtain shares, the value of those shares acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the Option price;
	(xii)		in consideration of the option grant, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the Options or diminution in value of the Option or shares purchased through exercise of the Option resulting from termination of your employment by Micro or your employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and you irrevocably release Micro and your 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, then, by signing this Award Agreement, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such claim; and
	(xiii)		notwithstanding any terms or conditions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of involuntary termination of your employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), your right to receive options under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); furthermore, in the event of involuntary termination of employment (whether or not in breach

of local labor laws), your right to exercise the Option after termination of employment, if any, will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law.

     (b) Tax Reporting and Payment Liability. Regardless of any action Micro or your employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that Micro and/or your employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option grant, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option and the subsequent sale of shares; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.

          Prior to the exercise of the Option, you shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to Micro or your employer to satisfy all withholding and payment on account obligations of Micro or your employer. In this regard, you authorize Micro or your employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by you from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by Micro and/or your employer or from proceeds of the sale of the shares. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, Micro or your employer may withhold in shares, provided that Micro or your employer only withholds the amount of shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. Finally, you shall pay to Micro or your employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that Micro or your employer may be required to withhold as a result of your participation in the Plan or your purchase of shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. Micro or your employer may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.

     (c) Data Privacy Consent. You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, your employer and Micro for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be

You understand that you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative.
