     (a) Right to Exercise. This Option is exercisable during its term in accordance with the vesting schedule and restrictions on exercisability set forth in the Notice and the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Agreement.
     (b) Method of Exercise.
          (i) This Option may be exercised through the Company’s designated broker.

          (ii) No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option (and no exercise will be permitted) unless such issuance and such exercise complies with all relevant applicable provisions of law, whether foreign or domestic, and the requirements of any stock exchange or interdealer quotation system upon which the Shares may then be listed or traded.
          (iii) If this Option is being exercised by the representative of Participant, the representative must prove the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so.

     (b) 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;
     (c) all decisions with respect to future option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

     (e) Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
     (f) the Option grant and Participant’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with the Employer, the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate;
     (g) the future value of the Shares underlying the Option is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
     (h) if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value;
     (i) if Participant exercises the Option and purchases Shares, the value of such Shares may increase or decrease in value, even below the exercise price;
     (j) notwithstanding any terms or conditions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of voluntary or involuntary termination of Participant’s status as a Service Provider,(i) Participant’s right to receive Options and vest in Options under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date of termination of Participant’s status as a Service Provider, and (ii) Participant’s right to exercise the Options after termination of Participant’s status as a Service Provider, will be measured by the date of termination of Participant’s status as a Service Provider;
     (k) for Participants not subject to U.S. tax laws, the following additional provisions shall apply:
          (i) the Option and any Shares acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
          (ii) the Option and any Shares acquired under the Plan are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of Participant’s employment or service contract, if any;
          (iii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Option resulting from termination of Participant’s status as a Service Provider by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and in consideration of the grant of the Option to which Participant is otherwise not entitled, Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer, waive his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and release the Company and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; and
          (iv) the Option and any Shares purchased under the Plan are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Employer, the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.
9. Responsibility for Taxes.
    (a) Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items arising out of Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option grant, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or

 


 

exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Shares purchased pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the grant date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
     (b) Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant shall pay or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company, the Employer and any Subsidiary or Affiliate; or (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired at exercise of the Option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or (iii) withholding in Shares to be issued at exercise of the Option.
     (c) To avoid any negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the exercised Options, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of Participant’s participation in the Plan.
     (d) Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described in this section. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds from the sale of Shares, if Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.
     (e) For Participants subject to U.S. tax laws, under Code Section 409A, an option that vests after December 31, 2004 (or that vested on or prior to such date but which was materially modified after October 3, 2004) that was granted with a per Share exercise price that is determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) to be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant (a “Discount Option”) may be considered “deferred compensation.” A Discount Option may result in (i) income recognition by Participant prior to the exercise of the option, (ii) an additional twenty percent (20%) federal income tax, and (iii) potential penalty and interest charges. The Discount Option may also result in additional state income, penalty and interest charges to the Participant. Participant 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 date of grant, Participant will be solely responsible for Participant’s costs related to such a determination.
