4. You hereby acknowledge that the options granted hereby are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference, and you hereby acknowledge that you have received or have access to a copy of the Plan. You are also encouraged to review the Companys most recent Form 10-K and proxy statement, which may be found at www.unova.com.
5. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, vested Stock Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the option term by giving written notice of exercise to the Company on the form furnished by the Company for that purpose specifying the number of shares of Stock subject to the Stock Option to be purchased. Each exercise must encompass at least one installment or 100 shares of Stock, whichever is less.
(b) The option price of Stock to be purchased upon exercise of any Stock Option shall be paid in full in cash in United States dollars (by certified or bank check or such other instrument payable to the order of UNOVA, Inc. as the Company may accept). The option price may also be paid in the form of unrestricted Stock already owned by you for a period of at least six months and based in any such instance on the average of the highest and lowest per share sales prices of the Stock during normal trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (the Fair Market Value) on the date the Stock Option is exercised.
(c) In the discretion of the Committee, payment for any shares subject to a Stock Option may also be made by delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company, together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the purchase price, and, if requested by you or required by law to be withheld by the Company, the amount of any federal, state, local and foreign withholding taxes.
(d) No shares of Stock shall be issued until full payment therefor has been made. You shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company holding the Stock that is subject to such Stock Option (including, if applicable, the right to vote the shares and the right to receive dividends, if any) when you have given written notice of exercise and have paid in full for such shares.
(e) If as a result of any adjustment to the shares or number of shares subject to this Agreement made pursuant to Section 3 of the Plan, any fractional share would be issuable under this Agreement, such fractional share shall be canceled without the payment of any consideration to you.
6. You may transfer any or all Non-Qualified Stock Options granted under the Plan by way of gift to any family member, provided that any such transferee shall agree in writing with the optionee and the Company, as a condition to such transfer, to be bound by the provisions of all agreements and other instruments, including without limitation, the Plan, and shall agree in writing to such other terms as the Company may reasonably require to assure compliance with applicable federal and state securities and other laws. For purposes of the preceding sentence, family member shall include any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationship, any person sharing your household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than 50 percent of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the optionee) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the optionee) own more than 50 percent of the voting interests. All Stock Options shall be
2
exercisable, subject to the terms of the Plan, only by you, your guardian or legal representative, or any person to whom such option is transferred pursuant to this paragraph, it being understood that the term holder and optionee include such guardian, legal representative and other trustee. If such transfer is made to a family member, there may be additional tax consequences at the time of transfer, and the Company will not be responsible for such tax consequences.
7. (a) In the event of your Termination of Employment due to death, any Stock Option held by you may thereafter be exercised for a period of one year from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter, in accordance with the following schedule:
Time from Grant |
| Stock Options |

|
|
|
Less than 1 year |
| 33 | % |
1 year to 2 years |
| 67 | % |
More than 2 years |
| 100 | % |
(b) In the event of your Termination of Employment due to death, if any portion of the Incentive Stock Options granted hereby is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such portion of Stock Options will thereafter be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.
8. Subject to the provisions of subparagraph 10(b) below, in the event of your Termination of Employment by reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by you may thereafter be exercised by you, to the extent it was vested at the time of termination, for a period of three years from the date of such Termination of Employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter; provided, however, that if you die within such period, any unexercised Stock Option held by you shall, notwithstanding the expiration of such period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was vested at the time of death for a period of 12 months from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter. Disability means your permanent and total disability as more specifically defined in the Plan. In the event of your Termination of Employment by reason of Disability, if any portion of the Incentive Stock Options granted hereby is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such portion of Stock Options will thereafter be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.
9. Subject to the provisions of subparagraph 10(b) below, in the event of your Termination of Employment by reason of Retirement, any Stock Option held by you may thereafter be exercised by you (or your estate or personal representative), to the extent it was vested at the time of such Retirement, until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option or, if earlier, 12 months from the date of your death. Retirement means retirement from active employment with the Company, a subsidiary or an Affiliate (i) at or after age 65 or (ii) pursuant to the early retirement provisions of the applicable pension plan of the Company, a subsidiary or an Affiliate under which you may receive retirement benefits. In the event of your Termination of Employment by reason of Retirement, if any portion of the Incentive Stock Options granted hereby is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such portion of Stock Options will thereafter be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.

10. (a) If you incur a Termination of Employment for any reason other than death, Disability, or Retirement, any Stock Option held by you, to the extent it was vested at the time of termination, may be exercised for the lesser of three months from the date of such Termination of Employment or the balance of such Stock Options term; provided, however, that if you die within such three-month period, any unexercised Stock Option held by you shall, notwithstanding the expiration of such three-month period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was vested at the time of death for a period of 12 months from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after a Change in Control, Stock Options shall remain exercisable following a Termination of Employment described in this Section 10 for seven months following such termination or until expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter.
(b) Termination of Employment means the termination of your employment with the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate. You shall also be deemed to incur a Termination of Employment if the subsidiary or Affiliate ceases to be such a subsidiary or Affiliate, as the case may be, and if you do not immediately thereafter become an employee of the Company or another subsidiary or Affiliate. Temporary absences from employment because of illness, vacation, or leave of absence and transfers among the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates shall not be considered Terminations of Employment. If so determined by the Committee, you shall be deemed not to have incurred a Termination of Employment following Retirement or Disability if you enter into a contract with the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate providing for the rendering by you of consulting services to the Company or such subsidiary or Affiliate on terms approved by the Committee; however, your Termination of Employment shall be deemed to occur when such contract ceases to be in effect. In the event of such Retirement or Disability and subsequent assumption by you of the status of a consultant, any portion of the Incentive Stock Options granted hereby which is exercised after the applicable period for purposes of Section 422 of the Code shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.
11. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includable in your gross income for federal income tax purposes with respect to any Stock Option granted by this Agreement, you shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state or local, and foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld by the Company with respect to such amount. The minimum amount of statutory withholding obligations may be settled with unrestricted Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of the exercise of the Stock Option equal to the amount of taxes required by law to be withheld, including Stock issuable upon exercise of a Stock Option that gives rise to the withholding requirement. Tax withholdings in excess of the statutory minimum amount may not be satisfied in Stock but may, if desired, be paid in cash. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements having been made, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due you.
12. The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement. Grants of Stock Options and other Stock awards under the Plan are made from time to time in the sole discretion of the Committee. The grant of a Stock Option or other award does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Stock Options, or benefits in lieu of Stock Options, even if Stock Options have
4
been granted repeatedly in the past. You acknowledge that future grants under the Plan, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee, including the timing of any grant, the number of options, the vesting provisions, and the exercise price. The grant of a Stock Option to you in any year shall give you neither any right to similar grants in future years nor any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or its subsidiaries and Affiliates, such employment being terminable to the same extent as if the Plan and this Agreement were not in effect. The right and power of the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates to dismiss or discharge you is specifically and unqualifiedly unimpaired by this Agreement.
You acknowledge that your participation in the Plan is voluntary and the value of the Stock Option is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or its subsidiaries and Affiliates, and which is outside the scope of any employment contract you may have, unless such contract specifically provides otherwise. As such, you understand that any Stock Option is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-term 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 the Company or its subsidiaries and Affiliates.
13. If employed by a subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, you authorize and direct such Subsidiary or Affiliate or any agent of the Company or such Subsidiary or Affiliate administering the Plan or providing plan recordkeeping services to disclose to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates such information and data as it shall request in order to facilitate the grant of Stock Options and the administration of the Plan, and you waive any data privacy rights you may have with respect to such information. By accepting this Agreement, you authorize the Company and the Subsidiary or Affiliate by which you are employed, if applicable, to store and transmit such information in electronic form.
14. It is the present practice of the Company to provide participants in the Plan, solely as a courtesy and not as a Company policy, with written or oral notification of the imminent expiration of any Stock Option having monetary value. You acknowledge that the Company and its subsidiaries or Affiliates and agents shall have no liability or responsibility in the event you should fail to receive any such courtesy notice and your Stock Option expires unexercised. You acknowledge that the obligation to monitor the schedule of exercisability and expiration of options awarded under this Agreement, and to procure current quotations regarding the market value of the Stock, is solely your obligation and not that of the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate by which you are employed or the agents of either of them.
15. Each notice relating to this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered in person or by mail to the Company at its office, 6001 36th Avenue West, Everett, WA ###-###-####, to the attention of the Companys Secretary, or at such other address as may be furnished to you in writing. All notices to you or other person or persons then entitled to exercise any right pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered to you or such other person as you or such other person may specify in writing to the Secretary of the Company by a notice delivered in accordance with this paragraph.
16. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Stock Option granted under and participation in the Plan or future options (if any) that may be granted under the Plan by electronic means or to request your consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic
5
system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.
17. The terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Plan incorporated by reference herein comprise the whole terms and conditions between you and the Company with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America. The Committee may amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement at any time, prospectively or retroactively, to the extent permitted by Section 9 of the Plan. The provisions of this 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.
18. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each successor of the Company and, to the extent specifically provided therein and in the Plan, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon your heirs, legal representatives, and successors and upon any person to whom a transfer of a Stock Option permitted by paragraph 6 of this Agreement has been made.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed by you and by the Company through its duly authorized officer, all as of the Grant Date indicated above.
