Nonstatutory Stock Option Terms And Conditions
1. Option Price. The price to be paid for each share of Common Stock upon exercise of the whole or any part of this Option shall be the amount set forth as the Option Price on the face of this Certificate, which is not less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock of the Company on the Date of Grant.
2. Exercisability Schedule. This Option may be exercised with respect to the aggregate number of shares set forth in the Exercisability Schedule on the face of this Certificate at any time after the dates specified in such schedule, provided, however, that this Option may not be exercised as to any shares after the expiration of ten (10) years from the Date of Grant.
3. Method of Exercise. This Option may be exercised at any time and from time to time, subject to the limitation of Section 2 above, up to the aggregate number of shares specified herein, but in no event for the purchase of other than full shares. To exercise this Option, written notice of exercise shall be delivered to the Company specifying the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised accompanied by payment of the Option Price for such shares in cash, by personal or certified check or in such other form, including shares of Common Stock of the Company valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of delivery, as the Committee may approve. If the Company determines that the notice of exercise and payment are in order (which in the case of payment by personal check may include the clearing of funds for payment), the Company will promptly proceed to have prepared and delivered to the Optionholder a certificate for the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised.
4. Exercise of Option After Termination of Service. If the Optionholder is no longer serving as an employee, director or consultant, as the case may be, of (i) the Company, (ii) a parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company, or (iii) a corporation (or parent or subsidiary corporation of such corporation) issuing or assuming a stock option in a transaction to which section 424(a) of the Code applies, for any reason other than by his death or disability (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company), he may exercise the rights which he had hereunder at the time of such termination only within three (3) months from the date of termination. If his service is terminated for reason of disability, such rights may be exercised within twelve (12) months from the date of termination. Upon the death of the Optionholder, those entitled to do so by the Optionholders will or the laws of descent and distribution shall have the right, at any time within twelve (12) months after the date of death, to exercise in whole or in part any rights which were available to the Optionholder at the time of his death. This Option shall terminate, and no rights hereunder may be exercised, after the expiration of the applicable exercise period. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, no rights under this Option be exercised after the expiration of ten (10) years from the Date of Grant
5. Rights as a Stockholder or Employee. The Optionholder shall not be deemed, for any purpose, to have any rights whatever in respect of shares to which the Option shall not have been exercised and payment made as aforesaid. The Optionholder shall not be deemed to have any rights to continued employment by the Company by virtue of the grant of this Option.
6. Recapitalizations, Mergers, Etc. In the event of any stock dividend, split-up, combination or reclassification of shares, recapitalization or other similar capital change affecting the Common Stock of the Company, the provisions of section 5(b) of the Plan shall apply.
In the event of a consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or a reorganization or liquidation of the Company, the Optionholder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise and payment in accordance with the terms of this Option the same shares, securities or property as he would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such event if he had been, immediately prior to such event, the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Option, or if another corporation shall be the survivor, such corporation shall substitute therefor substantially equivalent shares, securities or property of such other corporation; provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing the Committee may upon written notice to the Optionholder provide that this Option shall terminate on a date not less than twenty (20) days after the date of such notice unless theretofore exercised. In connection with such notice, the Committee may in its discretion accelerate or waive any deferred exercise period.
7. Option Not Transferable. This Option is not transferable by the Optionholder otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable, during the Optionholders lifetime, only by the Optionholder.
8. Compliance with Securities Laws. It shall be a condition to the Optionholders right to purchase shares of Common Stock hereunder that the Company may, in its discretion, require (a) that the shares of Common Stock reserved for issue upon the exercise of this Option shall have been duly listed, upon official notice of issuance, upon any national securities exchange on which the Companys Common Stock may then be listed, (b) that either (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to said shares shall be in effect, or (ii) in the opinion of counsel for the Company the proposed purchase shall be exempt from registration under said Act and the Optionholder shall have made such undertakings and agreements with the Company as the Company may reasonably require, and (c) that such other steps, if any, as counsel for the Company shall deem necessary to comply with any law, rule or regulation applicable to the issue of such shares by the Company shall have been taken by the Company or the Optionholder, or both. The certificates representing the shares purchased under this Option may contain such legends as counsel for the Company shall deem necessary to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation.
9. Payment of Taxes. Any exercise of this Option is conditioned upon the payment, if the Company so requests, by the Optionholder or his heirs by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, of all state and federal taxes imposed upon the exercise of this Option and the issue to the Optionholder of the shares of Common Stock covered hereby. In the Committees discretion, such tax obligations may be paid in whole or in part in shares of Common Stock, including retention of shares being purchased by the Optionholder, valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of delivery. The Company may to the extent permitted by law deduct any such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Optionholder.
10. Notice of Sale of Shares Required. The Optionholder agrees to notify the Company in writing within thirty (30) days of the disposition of one or more shares of stock purchased upon exercise of this Option if such disposition occurs within two years of the Date of Grant or within one year after such purchase.
11. Plan Incorporated by Reference. This Option is issued pursuant to the terms of the Plan and may be amended as provided in the Plan. This Certificate does not set forth all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Plan. The Committee administers the Plan and its determinations regarding the operation of the Plan are final and binding.
