4. Exercise of Option.

 

  (a) In General. The latest date on which this Option may be exercised is August 11, 2015, (the “Final Exercise Date”). Each election to exercise this Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and shall be in writing, signed by the Optionee or by his or her executor, administrator, or permitted transferee (subject to any restrictions provided under the Plan and the Stockholders Agreement), made pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and received by the Companies at their principal offices, accompanied by payment in full as provided in the Plan. The Optionee shall not exercise this Option as to Shares of a single class but must exercise this Option as to Units. The purchase price may be paid by delivery of cash or check acceptable to the Administrator or, in case of an exercise on the Final Exercise Date or upon a Change of Control that terminates an Extended Exercise Period, or after termination of Employment as a result of resignation by the Optionee other than for either Good Reason or Retirement and prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing or as a result of the Optionee’s Disability or death, if and to the extent permitted by the Code (including Section 409A thereof) and, if such exercise would not adversely affect any of the Companies’ results of operations under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, by means of withholding of Units subject to the Option with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to (i) the aggregate exercise price and (ii) if commercially reasonable for the Company or Lowerco, as the case may be, to so permit (taking into account its cash position in light of any contractual or legal restrictions) minimum statutory withholding taxes with respect to such exercise, or by such other method provided under the Plan and explicitly approved by the Administrator. In the event that this Option is exercised by a person other than the Optionee, the Companies will be under no obligation to deliver Shares hereunder unless and until it is satisfied as to the authority of the Option Holder to exercise this Option.

 

  (b) Time To Exercise. The Option must be exercised no later than the Final Exercise Date, and if not exercised by such date, will thereupon terminate. The Option must also be exercised by the termination of the Optionee’s Employment, and if not exercised by such date, will thereupon terminate, except as provided below:

 

  (i) upon termination of the Optionee’s Employment (i) by the Employer without Cause, (ii) by resignation by the Optionee for Good Reason, or (iii) as a result of a Disability or death, or upon the Sale of a Business where the Optionee is employed by the Sold Business and is not offered employment with a Retained Business on substantially similar terms and conditions, the Option will remain exercisable through the Extended Exercise Period, and will thereupon terminate;

 

-5-


  (ii) if the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of resignation by the Optionee other than for Good Reason and such Employment terminates (i) prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing, then the Option will remain exercisable until the earlier of (a) the 90th day after the Date of Termination or (b) the Final Exercise Date, and will thereupon terminate, or (ii) on or after the fifth anniversary of the Closing, then the Option will remain exercisable through the Extended Exercise Period, and will thereupon terminate; and

 

  (iii) if the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of the Optionee’s Retirement, then the Option will remain exercisable through the Extended Exercise Period, and will thereupon terminate.

 

5. Certain Calls and Puts.

 

  (a) Call on Resignation Without Good Reason. If the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of resignation by the Optionee other than for either Good Reason or Retirement, for the period ending one hundred eighty-one (181) days following the later of Optionee’s Date of Termination or the date on which this Option is exercised, each of the Company and Lowerco shall have a Call Option at the then Fair Market Value of such Shares, provided, however, that the Companies’ Call Options pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall cease to apply on the earlier of an IPO or the fifth anniversary of the Closing. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term resignation does not include the departure of Optionee by reason of the Sale of a Business where Optionee is employed by the Sold Business and is not offered employment with a Retained Business on substantially similar terms and conditions.

 

  (b) Call on Termination For Cause. If the Optionee’s Employment is terminated by the Employer for Cause, for the period ending one hundred eighty-one (181) days following the later of Optionee’s Date of Termination or the date on which this Option is exercised, each of the Company and Lowerco shall have a Call Option at the lower of (i) the exercise price paid by Optionee for such Shares (less any distributions received with respect to such Shares under the SunGard Capital Corp. and SunGard Capital Corp. II Dividend Rights Plan or with respect to such Shares after the exercise of this Option), or (ii) the then Fair Market Value of such Shares, provided, however, that the Companies’ Call Options pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall cease to apply on an IPO.

 

  (c) Put on Disability or Death. If the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of the Optionee’s Disability or death (and if and to the extent permitted by the Code (including Section 409A thereof)) the Optionee (or, the Optionee’s Beneficiary) shall have a Put Option at any time after Optionee’s Date of Termination, but prior to an IPO.

 

-6-


  (d) The Company or Lowerco may assign its rights under this Section 5 to any of their subsidiaries or to the Investors.

 

  (e) The provisions of this Section 5 supersede Section 6 of the Stockholders Agreement with respect to the Options granted hereunder and the related Shares.

 

6. Share Restrictions, etc. Except as expressly provided herein, the Optionee’s rights hereunder and with respect to Shares received upon exercise are subject to the restrictions and other provisions contained in the Stockholders Agreement.

 

7. Distributions, Redemptions, etc. On the occurrence of an Adjustment Event, the per-Unit exercise price of this Option, whether vested or unvested, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (a) the per-share amount paid in connection with the Adjustment Event and (b) the number of shares of the class of stock affected by the Adjustment Event that were included in each Unit immediately prior to the Adjustment Event; provided, however, that any such reduction shall be limited to that portion of such amount which would not cause the per-Unit exercise price of the Option to be reduced below 25% of the fair market value, as of the date the Option was granted, of the Shares that are included in each Unit immediately following the Adjustment Event. In the case of a redemption or repurchase, the number of Shares of the class of stock redeemed or repurchased that are subject to the Option will be automatically reduced by an amount proportionate to the percentage reduction in outstanding shares of the affected class resulting from the redemption or repurchase. Optionee shall be entitled to receive any information reasonably requested regarding the composition of a Unit and the allocation of the Option’s exercise price among the Shares included in a Unit, as adjusted in accordance with this Section 7.

 

8. Forfeiture. Upon exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to this Option, Optionee shall certify on a form acceptable to the Committee that Optionee is in compliance with the Restrictive Covenants and all other agreements between Optionee and the Company. If the Company determines that Optionee is not in compliance with one or more of the Restrictive Covenants, and such non-compliance has not been authorized in advance in a specific written waiver from the Company, the Committee may cancel any unexercised portion. The Company shall also have the following additional remedies:

 

  (a)

During the six months after any exercise, payment or delivery of shares pursuant to this Option, such exercise, payment or delivery may be rescinded at the Company’s option if Optionee fails to comply in any material respect with the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or if Optionee breaches any duty to the Company. The Company shall notify Optionee in writing of any such rescission within one year after such exercise, payment or delivery. Within ten days after receiving such a notice from the Company, Optionee shall remit or deliver to the Company (i) the amount of any gain realized upon the sale of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option, (ii)

 

-7-


 

any consideration received upon the exchange of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option (or the extent that such consideration was not received in the form of cash, the cash equivalent thereof valued of the time of the exchange) and (ii) the number of Shares received in connection with the rescinded exercise.

 

  (b) The Company shall have the right to offset, against any Shares and any cash amounts due to Optionee under or by reason of Optionee’s holding this Option, any amounts to which the Company is entitled as a result of Optionee’s violation of the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or Optionee’s breach of any duty to the Company. Accordingly, Optionee acknowledges that (i) the Company may delay exercise of this Option or withhold delivery of Shares, (ii) the Company may place the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Shares in an escrow account of the Company’s choosing pending resolution of any dispute with the Company, and (iii) the Company has no liability for any attendant market risk caused by any such delay, withholding, or escrow.

 

Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the calculation of damages from a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or of any duty to the Company would be difficult to calculate accurately and that the right to offset or other remedy provided for herein is reasonable and not a penalty. Optionee further agrees not to challenge the reasonableness of such provisions even where the Company rescinds, delays, withholds or escrows Shares or proceeds or uses those Shares or proceeds as a setoff.

 

9. Legends, etc. Shares issued upon exercise shall bear such legends as may be required or provided for under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.

 

10. Transfer of Option. This Option may only be transferred by the laws of descent and distribution, to a legal representative in the event of the Optionee’s incapacity, or to no more than one Family Member; provided that transfers to additional Family Members may be made with the consent of the Compensation Committee of the Board, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

11. Withholding. The exercise of the Option will give rise to “wages” subject to withholding. The Optionee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Optionee’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued Shares upon exercise, are subject to the Optionee promptly paying to the Companies in cash (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion) all taxes required to be withheld. The Optionee also authorizes the Companies and their subsidiaries to withhold such amount from any amounts otherwise owed to the Optionee and the Companies may so withhold as provided in Section 4(a) above.

 

12. Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of this Option, nor the issuance of Shares upon exercise of this Option, shall give the Optionee any right to be retained in

 

-8-


the employ of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates, affect the right of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates to discharge or discipline such Optionee at any time, or affect any right of such Optionee to terminate his or her Employment at any time.

 

13. Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

By acceptance of this Option, the undersigned agrees hereby to become a party to, and be bound by the terms of, the Stockholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, in each case treating the undersigned as a “Manager” as defined therein.

  (a) In General. The latest date on which this Option may be exercised is August 11, 2015, (the “Final Exercise Date”). Each election to exercise this Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and shall be in writing, signed by the Optionee or by his or her executor, administrator, or permitted transferee (subject to any restrictions provided under the Plan and the Stockholders Agreement), made pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and received by the Companies at their principal offices, accompanied by payment in full as provided in the Plan. The Optionee shall not exercise this Option as to Shares of a single class but must exercise this Option as to Units. The purchase price may be paid by delivery of cash or check acceptable to the Administrator or, in case of an exercise on the Final Exercise Date or upon a Change of Control that terminates an Extended Exercise Period, or after termination of Employment as a result of resignation by the Optionee other than for either Good Reason or Retirement and prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing or as a result of the Optionee’s Disability or death, if and to the extent permitted by the Code (including Section 409A thereof) and, if such exercise would not adversely affect any of the Companies’ results of operations under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, by means of withholding of Units subject to the Option with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to (i) the aggregate exercise price and (ii) if commercially reasonable for the Company or Lowerco, as the case may be, to so permit (taking into account its cash position in light of any contractual or legal restrictions) minimum statutory withholding taxes with respect to such exercise, or by such other method provided under the Plan and explicitly approved by the Administrator. In the event that this Option is exercised by a person other than the Optionee, the Companies will be under no obligation to deliver Shares hereunder unless and until it is satisfied as to the authority of the Option Holder to exercise this Option.

 

  (b) Time To Exercise. The Option must be exercised no later than the Final Exercise Date, and if not exercised by such date, will thereupon terminate. The Option must also be exercised by the termination of the Optionee’s Employment, and if not exercised by such date, will thereupon terminate, except as provided below:

 

  (i) upon termination of the Optionee’s Employment (i) by the Employer without Cause, (ii) by resignation by the Optionee for Good Reason, or (iii) as a result of a Disability or death, or upon the Sale of a Business where the Optionee is employed by the Sold Business and is not offered employment with a Retained Business on substantially similar terms and conditions, the Option will remain exercisable through the Extended Exercise Period, and will thereupon terminate;

 

-5-


  (ii) if the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of resignation by the Optionee other than for Good Reason and such Employment terminates (i) prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing, then the Option will remain exercisable until the earlier of (a) the 90th day after the Date of Termination or (b) the Final Exercise Date, and will thereupon terminate, or (ii) on or after the fifth anniversary of the Closing, then the Option will remain exercisable through the Extended Exercise Period, and will thereupon terminate; and

 

  (iii) if the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of the Optionee’s Retirement, then the Option will remain exercisable through the Extended Exercise Period, and will thereupon terminate.

 

5. Certain Calls and Puts.

 

  (a) Call on Resignation Without Good Reason. If the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of resignation by the Optionee other than for either Good Reason or Retirement, for the period ending one hundred eighty-one (181) days following the later of Optionee’s Date of Termination or the date on which this Option is exercised, each of the Company and Lowerco shall have a Call Option at the then Fair Market Value of such Shares, provided, however, that the Companies’ Call Options pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall cease to apply on the earlier of an IPO or the fifth anniversary of the Closing. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term resignation does not include the departure of Optionee by reason of the Sale of a Business where Optionee is employed by the Sold Business and is not offered employment with a Retained Business on substantially similar terms and conditions.

 

  (b) Call on Termination For Cause. If the Optionee’s Employment is terminated by the Employer for Cause, for the period ending one hundred eighty-one (181) days following the later of Optionee’s Date of Termination or the date on which this Option is exercised, each of the Company and Lowerco shall have a Call Option at the lower of (i) the exercise price paid by Optionee for such Shares (less any distributions received with respect to such Shares under the SunGard Capital Corp. and SunGard Capital Corp. II Dividend Rights Plan or with respect to such Shares after the exercise of this Option), or (ii) the then Fair Market Value of such Shares, provided, however, that the Companies’ Call Options pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall cease to apply on an IPO.

 

  (c) Put on Disability or Death. If the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of the Optionee’s Disability or death (and if and to the extent permitted by the Code (including Section 409A thereof)) the Optionee (or, the Optionee’s Beneficiary) shall have a Put Option at any time after Optionee’s Date of Termination, but prior to an IPO.

 

-6-


  (d) The Company or Lowerco may assign its rights under this Section 5 to any of their subsidiaries or to the Investors.

 

  (e) The provisions of this Section 5 supersede Section 6 of the Stockholders Agreement with respect to the Options granted hereunder and the related Shares.

 

6. Share Restrictions, etc. Except as expressly provided herein, the Optionee’s rights hereunder and with respect to Shares received upon exercise are subject to the restrictions and other provisions contained in the Stockholders Agreement.

 

7. Distributions, Redemptions, etc. On the occurrence of an Adjustment Event, the per-Unit exercise price of this Option, whether vested or unvested, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (a) the per-share amount paid in connection with the Adjustment Event and (b) the number of shares of the class of stock affected by the Adjustment Event that were included in each Unit immediately prior to the Adjustment Event; provided, however, that any such reduction shall be limited to that portion of such amount which would not cause the per-Unit exercise price of the Option to be reduced below 25% of the fair market value, as of the date the Option was granted, of the Shares that are included in each Unit immediately following the Adjustment Event. In the case of a redemption or repurchase, the number of Shares of the class of stock redeemed or repurchased that are subject to the Option will be automatically reduced by an amount proportionate to the percentage reduction in outstanding shares of the affected class resulting from the redemption or repurchase. Optionee shall be entitled to receive any information reasonably requested regarding the composition of a Unit and the allocation of the Option’s exercise price among the Shares included in a Unit, as adjusted in accordance with this Section 7.

 

8. Forfeiture. Upon exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to this Option, Optionee shall certify on a form acceptable to the Committee that Optionee is in compliance with the Restrictive Covenants and all other agreements between Optionee and the Company. If the Company determines that Optionee is not in compliance with one or more of the Restrictive Covenants, and such non-compliance has not been authorized in advance in a specific written waiver from the Company, the Committee may cancel any unexercised portion. The Company shall also have the following additional remedies:

 

  (a)

Any exercise, payment or delivery of shares pursuant to this Option may be rescinded at the Company’s option if Optionee fails to comply in any material respect with the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or if Optionee breaches any duty to the Company. The Company shall notify Optionee in writing of any such rescission. Within ten days after receiving such a notice from the Company, Optionee shall remit or deliver to the Company (i) the amount of any gain realized upon the sale of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option, (ii) any consideration received upon the exchange of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option (or the extent that

 

-7-


 

such consideration was not received in the form of cash, the cash equivalent thereof valued of the time of the exchange) and (ii) the number of Shares received in connection with the rescinded exercise.

 

  (b) The Company shall have the right to offset, against any Shares and any cash amounts due to Optionee under or by reason of Optionee’s holding this Option, any amounts to which the Company is entitled as a result of Optionee’s violation of the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or Optionee’s breach of any duty to the Company. Accordingly, Optionee acknowledges that (i) the Company may delay exercise of this Option or withhold delivery of Shares, (ii) the Company may place the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Shares in an escrow account of the Company’s choosing pending resolution of any dispute with the Company, and (iii) the Company has no liability for any attendant market risk caused by any such delay, withholding, or escrow.

 

Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the calculation of damages from a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or of any duty to the Company would be difficult to calculate accurately and that the right to offset or other remedy provided for herein is reasonable and not a penalty. Optionee further agrees not to challenge the reasonableness of such provisions even where the Company rescinds, delays, withholds or escrows Shares or proceeds or uses those Shares or proceeds as a setoff.

 

9. Legends, etc. Shares issued upon exercise shall bear such legends as may be required or provided for under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.

 

10. Transfer of Option. This Option may only be transferred by the laws of descent and distribution, to a legal representative in the event of the Optionee’s incapacity, or to no more than one Family Member; provided that transfers to additional Family Members may be made with the consent of the Compensation Committee of the Board, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

11. Withholding. The exercise of the Option will give rise to “wages” subject to withholding. The Optionee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Optionee’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued Shares upon exercise, are subject to the Optionee promptly paying to the Companies in cash (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion) all taxes required to be withheld. The Optionee also authorizes the Companies and their subsidiaries to withhold such amount from any amounts otherwise owed to the Optionee and the Companies may so withhold as provided in Section 4(a) above.

 

12. Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of this Option, nor the issuance of Shares upon exercise of this Option, shall give the Optionee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates, affect the right of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates to discharge or discipline such Optionee at

 

-8-


any time, or affect any right of such Optionee to terminate his or her Employment at any time.

 

13. Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

By acceptance of this Option, the undersigned agrees hereby to become a party to, and be bound by the terms of, the Stockholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, in each case treating the undersigned as a “Manager” as defined therein. By accepting this Option, Optionee also irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Pennsylvania over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement, and waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.

Each election to exercise this Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and shall be in writing, signed by the Optionee or by his or her executor, administrator, or permitted transferee (subject to any restrictions provided under the Plan and the Stockholders Agreement), made pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and received by the Companies at their principal offices, accompanied by payment in full as provided in the Plan.

In the event that this Option is exercised by a person other than the Optionee, the Companies will be under no obligation to deliver Shares hereunder unless and until it is satisfied as to the authority of the Option Holder to exercise this Option.

  (iii) if the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of the Optionee’s Retirement, then the Option will remain exercisable through the Extended Exercise Period, and will thereupon terminate.

 

5. Certain Calls and Puts.

 

  (a) Call on Resignation Without Good Reason. If the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of resignation by the Optionee other than for either Good Reason or Retirement, for the period ending one hundred eighty-one (181) days following the later of Optionee’s Date of Termination or the date on which this Option is exercised, each of the Company and Lowerco shall have a Call Option at the then Fair Market Value of such Shares, provided, however, that the Companies’ Call Options pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall cease to apply on the earlier of an IPO or the fifth anniversary of the Closing. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term resignation does not include the departure of Optionee by reason of the Sale of a Business where Optionee is employed by the Sold Business and is not offered employment with a Retained Business on substantially similar terms and conditions.

 

  (b) Call on Termination For Cause. If the Optionee’s Employment is terminated by the Employer for Cause, for the period ending one hundred eighty-one (181) days following the later of Optionee’s Date of Termination or the date on which this Option is exercised, each of the Company and Lowerco shall have a Call Option at the lower of (i) the exercise price paid by Optionee for such Shares (less any distributions received with respect to such Shares under the SunGard Capital Corp. and SunGard Capital Corp. II Dividend Rights Plan or with respect to such Shares after the exercise of this Option), or (ii) the then Fair Market Value of such Shares, provided, however, that the Companies’ Call Options pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall cease to apply on an IPO.

 

  (c) Put on Disability or Death. If the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of the Optionee’s Disability or death (and if and to the extent permitted by the Code (including Section 409A thereof)) the Optionee (or, the Optionee’s Beneficiary) shall have a Put Option at any time after Optionee’s Date of Termination, but prior to an IPO.

 

-6-


  (d) The Company or Lowerco may assign its rights under this Section 5 to any of their subsidiaries or to the Investors.

 

  (e) The provisions of this Section 5 supersede Section 6 of the Stockholders Agreement with respect to the Options granted hereunder and the related Shares.

 

6. Share Restrictions, etc. Except as expressly provided herein, the Optionee’s rights hereunder and with respect to Shares received upon exercise are subject to the restrictions and other provisions contained in the Stockholders Agreement.

 

7. Distributions, Redemptions, etc. On the occurrence of an Adjustment Event, the per-Unit exercise price of this Option, whether vested or unvested, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (a) the per-share amount paid in connection with the Adjustment Event and (b) the number of shares of the class of stock affected by the Adjustment Event that were included in each Unit immediately prior to the Adjustment Event; provided, however, that any such reduction shall be limited to that portion of such amount which would not cause the per-Unit exercise price of the Option to be reduced below 25% of the fair market value, as of the date the Option was granted, of the Shares that are included in each Unit immediately following the Adjustment Event. In the case of a redemption or repurchase, the number of Shares of the class of stock redeemed or repurchased that are subject to the Option will be automatically reduced by an amount proportionate to the percentage reduction in outstanding shares of the affected class resulting from the redemption or repurchase. Optionee shall be entitled to receive any information reasonably requested regarding the composition of a Unit and the allocation of the Option’s exercise price among the Shares included in a Unit, as adjusted in accordance with this Section 7.

 

8. Forfeiture. Upon exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to this Option, Optionee shall certify on a form acceptable to the Committee that Optionee is in compliance with the Restrictive Covenants and all other agreements between Optionee and the Company. If the Company determines that Optionee is not in compliance with one or more of the Restrictive Covenants, and such non-compliance has not been authorized in advance in a specific written waiver from the Company, the Committee may cancel any unexercised portion. The Company shall also have the following additional remedies:

 

  (a)

Any exercise, payment or delivery of shares pursuant to this Option may be rescinded at the Company’s option if Optionee fails to comply in any material respect with the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or if Optionee breaches any duty to the Company. The Company shall notify Optionee in writing of any such rescission. Within ten days after receiving such a notice from the Company, Optionee shall remit or deliver to the Company (i) the amount of any gain realized upon the sale of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option, (ii) any consideration received upon the exchange of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option (or the extent that

 

-7-


 

such consideration was not received in the form of cash, the cash equivalent thereof valued of the time of the exchange) and (ii) the number of Shares received in connection with the rescinded exercise.

 

  (b) The Company shall have the right to offset, against any Shares and any cash amounts due to Optionee under or by reason of Optionee’s holding this Option, any amounts to which the Company is entitled as a result of Optionee’s violation of the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or Optionee’s breach of any duty to the Company. Accordingly, Optionee acknowledges that (i) the Company may delay exercise of this Option or withhold delivery of Shares, (ii) the Company may place the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Shares in an escrow account of the Company’s choosing pending resolution of any dispute with the Company, and (iii) the Company has no liability for any attendant market risk caused by any such delay, withholding, or escrow.

 

Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the calculation of damages from a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or of any duty to the Company would be difficult to calculate accurately and that the right to offset or other remedy provided for herein is reasonable and not a penalty. Optionee further agrees not to challenge the reasonableness of such provisions even where the Company rescinds, delays, withholds or escrows Shares or proceeds or uses those Shares or proceeds as a setoff.

 

9. Legends, etc. Shares issued upon exercise shall bear such legends as may be required or provided for under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.

 

10. Transfer of Option. This Option may only be transferred by the laws of descent and distribution, to a legal representative in the event of the Optionee’s incapacity, or to no more than one Family Member; provided that transfers to additional Family Members may be made with the consent of the Compensation Committee of the Board, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

11. Withholding. The exercise of the Option will give rise to “wages” subject to withholding. The Optionee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Optionee’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued Shares upon exercise, are subject to the Optionee promptly paying to the Companies in cash (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion) all taxes required to be withheld.

The Option will vest and become exercisable in accordance with Section 3 below.

 

The Option evidenced by this Agreement is intended to be a non-qualified option and is granted to the Optionee in an Employment capacity as an employee.

If Optionee does so notify the Company of Optionee’s disagreement with the Fair Market Value set forth in the Board Notice within such time period, then the Company shall retain an independent third party appraiser reasonably acceptable to Optionee and to the Company to determine the fair market value of such Shares, and the determination of such independent appraiser shall govern. For this purpose, the appraiser last used by the Company in the ordinary course of business will be considered an independent appraiser.

-4-


4. Exercise of Option.

 

  (a) In General. The latest date on which this Option may be exercised is August 11, 2015, (the “Final Exercise Date”). Each election to exercise this Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and shall be in writing, signed by the Optionee or by his or her executor, administrator, or permitted transferee (subject to any restrictions provided under the Plan and the Stockholders Agreement), made pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and received by the Companies at their principal offices, accompanied by payment in full as provided in the Plan. The Optionee shall not exercise this Option as to Shares of a single class but must exercise this Option as to Units. The purchase price may be paid by delivery of cash or check acceptable to the Administrator or, in case of an exercise on the Final Exercise Date or upon a Change of Control that terminates an Extended Exercise Period, or after termination of Employment as a result of resignation by the Optionee other than for either Good Reason or Retirement and prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing or as a result of the Optionee’s Disability or death, if and to the extent permitted by the Code (including Section 409A thereof) and, if such exercise would not adversely affect any of the Companies’ results of operations under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, by means of withholding of Units subject to the Option with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to (i) the aggregate exercise price and (ii) if commercially reasonable for the Company or Lowerco, as the case may be, to so permit (taking into account its cash position in light of any contractual or legal restrictions) minimum statutory withholding taxes with respect to such exercise, or by such other method provided under the Plan and explicitly approved by the Administrator. In the event that this Option is exercised by a person other than the Optionee, the Companies will be under no obligation to deliver Shares hereunder unless and until it is satisfied as to the authority of the Option Holder to exercise this Option.

 

  (b) Time To Exercise. The Option must be exercised no later than the Final Exercise Date, and if not exercised by such date, will thereupon terminate. The Option must also be exercised by the termination of the Optionee’s Employment, and if not exercised by such date, will thereupon terminate, except as provided below:

 

  (i) upon termination of the Optionee’s Employment (i) by the Employer without Cause, (ii) by resignation by the Optionee for Good Reason, or (iii) as a result of a Disability or death, or upon the Sale of a Business where the Optionee is employed by the Sold Business and is not offered employment with a Retained Business on substantially similar terms and conditions, the Option will remain exercisable through the Extended Exercise Period, and will thereupon terminate;

 

-5-


  (ii) if the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of resignation by the Optionee other than for Good Reason and such Employment terminates (i) prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing, then the Option will remain exercisable until the earlier of (a) the 90th day after the Date of Termination or (b) the Final Exercise Date, and will thereupon terminate, or (ii) on or after the fifth anniversary of the Closing, then the Option will remain exercisable through the Extended Exercise Period, and will thereupon terminate; and

 

  (iii) if the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of the Optionee’s Retirement, then the Option will remain exercisable through the Extended Exercise Period, and will thereupon terminate.

 

5. Certain Calls and Puts.

 

  (a) Call on Resignation Without Good Reason. If the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of resignation by the Optionee other than for either Good Reason or Retirement, for the period ending one hundred eighty-one (181) days following the later of Optionee’s Date of Termination or the date on which this Option is exercised, each of the Company and Lowerco shall have a Call Option at the then Fair Market Value of such Shares, provided, however, that the Companies’ Call Options pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall cease to apply on the earlier of an IPO or the fifth anniversary of the Closing. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term resignation does not include the departure of Optionee by reason of the Sale of a Business where Optionee is employed by the Sold Business and is not offered employment with a Retained Business on substantially similar terms and conditions.

 

  (b) Call on Termination For Cause. If the Optionee’s Employment is terminated by the Employer for Cause, for the period ending one hundred eighty-one (181) days following the later of Optionee’s Date of Termination or the date on which this Option is exercised, each of the Company and Lowerco shall have a Call Option at the lower of (i) the exercise price paid by Optionee for such Shares (less any distributions received with respect to such Shares under the SunGard Capital Corp. and SunGard Capital Corp. II Dividend Rights Plan or with respect to such Shares after the exercise of this Option), or (ii) the then Fair Market Value of such Shares, provided, however, that the Companies’ Call Options pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall cease to apply on an IPO.

 

  (c) Put on Disability or Death. If the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of the Optionee’s Disability or death (and if and to the extent permitted by the Code (including Section 409A thereof)) the Optionee (or, the Optionee’s Beneficiary) shall have a Put Option at any time after Optionee’s Date of Termination, but prior to an IPO.

 

-6-


  (d) The Company or Lowerco may assign its rights under this Section 5 to any of their subsidiaries or to the Investors.

 

  (e) The provisions of this Section 5 supersede Section 6 of the Stockholders Agreement with respect to the Options granted hereunder and the related Shares.

 

6. Share Restrictions, etc. Except as expressly provided herein, the Optionee’s rights hereunder and with respect to Shares received upon exercise are subject to the restrictions and other provisions contained in the Stockholders Agreement.

 

7. Distributions, Redemptions, etc. On the occurrence of an Adjustment Event, the per-Unit exercise price of this Option, whether vested or unvested, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (a) the per-share amount paid in connection with the Adjustment Event and (b) the number of shares of the class of stock affected by the Adjustment Event that were included in each Unit immediately prior to the Adjustment Event; provided, however, that any such reduction shall be limited to that portion of such amount which would not cause the per-Unit exercise price of the Option to be reduced below 25% of the fair market value, as of the date the Option was granted, of the Shares that are included in each Unit immediately following the Adjustment Event. In the case of a redemption or repurchase, the number of Shares of the class of stock redeemed or repurchased that are subject to the Option will be automatically reduced by an amount proportionate to the percentage reduction in outstanding shares of the affected class resulting from the redemption or repurchase. Optionee shall be entitled to receive any information reasonably requested regarding the composition of a Unit and the allocation of the Option’s exercise price among the Shares included in a Unit, as adjusted in accordance with this Section 7.

 

8. Forfeiture. Upon exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to this Option, Optionee shall certify on a form acceptable to the Committee that Optionee is in compliance with the Restrictive Covenants and all other agreements between Optionee and the Company. If the Company determines that Optionee is not in compliance with one or more of the Restrictive Covenants, and such non-compliance has not been authorized in advance in a specific written waiver from the Company, the Committee may cancel any unexercised portion. The Company shall also have the following additional remedies:

 

  (a)

Any exercise, payment or delivery of shares pursuant to this Option may be rescinded at the Company’s option if Optionee fails to comply in any material respect with the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or if Optionee breaches any duty to the Company. The Company shall notify Optionee in writing of any such rescission. Within ten days after receiving such a notice from the Company, Optionee shall remit or deliver to the Company (i) the amount of any gain realized upon the sale of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option, (ii) any consideration received upon the exchange of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option (or the extent that

 

-7-


 

such consideration was not received in the form of cash, the cash equivalent thereof valued of the time of the exchange) and (ii) the number of Shares received in connection with the rescinded exercise.

 

  (b) The Company shall have the right to offset, against any Shares and any cash amounts due to Optionee under or by reason of Optionee’s holding this Option, any amounts to which the Company is entitled as a result of Optionee’s violation of the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or Optionee’s breach of any duty to the Company. Accordingly, Optionee acknowledges that (i) the Company may delay exercise of this Option or withhold delivery of Shares, (ii) the Company may place the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Shares in an escrow account of the Company’s choosing pending resolution of any dispute with the Company, and (iii) the Company has no liability for any attendant market risk caused by any such delay, withholding, or escrow.

 

Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the calculation of damages from a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or of any duty to the Company would be difficult to calculate accurately and that the right to offset or other remedy provided for herein is reasonable and not a penalty. Optionee further agrees not to challenge the reasonableness of such provisions even where the Company rescinds, delays, withholds or escrows Shares or proceeds or uses those Shares or proceeds as a setoff.

 

9. Legends, etc. Shares issued upon exercise shall bear such legends as may be required or provided for under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.

 

10. Transfer of Option. This Option may only be transferred by the laws of descent and distribution, to a legal representative in the event of the Optionee’s incapacity, or to no more than one Family Member; provided that transfers to additional Family Members may be made with the consent of the Compensation Committee of the Board, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

11. Withholding. The exercise of the Option will give rise to “wages” subject to withholding. The Optionee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Optionee’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued Shares upon exercise, are subject to the Optionee promptly paying to the Companies in cash (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion) all taxes required to be withheld. The Optionee also authorizes the Companies and their subsidiaries to withhold such amount from any amounts otherwise owed to the Optionee and the Companies may so withhold as provided in Section 4(a) above.

 

12. Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of this Option, nor the issuance of Shares upon exercise of this Option, shall give the Optionee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates, affect the right of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates to discharge or discipline such Optionee at

 

-8-


any time, or affect any right of such Optionee to terminate his or her Employment at any time. Optionee, in accepting this Option, represents and acknowledges that Optionee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; that participation in the Plan is discretionary; and that Optionee has not been induced to participate in the Plan by any expectation of employment or continued employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Optionee furthermore understands and acknowledges that the grant of this Stock Option is discretionary, does not constitute any portion of Optionee’s regular remuneration and is not intended to be taken into account in calculating service-related benefits, and bears no guarantee or implication that any additional grant will be made in the future.

 

13. Personal Data. Optionee understands and acknowledges that in order to perform its obligations under the Plan, the Company and its subsidiaries may process personal data and/or sensitive personal data relating to Optionee. Such data includes but is not limited to the information provided in this Agreement and any changes thereto, other appropriate personal and financial data relating to Optionee, and information about Optionee’s participation in the Plan and the Shares acquired from time to time pursuant to the Plan. Optionee, in accepting this Option, gives his or her explicit and voluntary consent to the Company and its subsidiaries to process any such personal data and/or sensitive personal data. Optionee also hereby gives his or her explicit and voluntary consent to the Company and its subsidiaries to transfer any such personal data and/or sensitive personal data outside the country in which Optionee works or is employed. The legal persons for whom Optionee’s personal data are intended include the Company and any of its subsidiaries, any outside plan administrator or service provider selected by the Company or any of its subsidiaries from time to time, and any other person that the Administrator may find in its administration of the Plan to be appropriate. Optionee hereby acknowledges that he or she has been informed of his or her right of access and correction to his or her personal data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Optionee understands that the transfer of the information described herein is important to the administration of the Plan and that failure to consent to the transmission of such information may limit or prohibit his or her participation in the Plan.

 

14. Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of Delaware in the United States of America without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

By acceptance of this Option, the undersigned agrees hereby to become a party to, and be bound by the terms of, the Stockholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, in each case treating the undersigned as a “Manager” as defined therein. By accepting this Option, Optionee also irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the United States of America over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement, and waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.

  (c) if the Optionee’s Employment terminates as a result of termination by Employer for Cause, then the Option will be immediately forfeited by the Optionee and terminate as of the Date of Termination.

 

4. Exercise of Option.

 

  (a)

In General. The latest date on which this Option may be exercised is August 11, 2015, (the “Final Exercise Date”). Each election to exercise this Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and shall be in writing, signed by the Optionee or by his or her executor, administrator, or permitted transferee (subject to any restrictions provided

 

-3-


 

under the Plan and the Stockholders Agreement), made pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and received by the Companies at their principal offices, accompanied by payment in full as provided in the Plan. The Optionee shall not exercise this Option as to Shares of a single class but must exercise this Option as to Units. The purchase price may be paid by delivery of cash or check acceptable to the Administrator or, in case of an exercise on the Final Exercise Date, or after a Sale of a Business where the Optionee is employed by a Sold Business and is not offered employment with a Retained Business on substantially similar terms and conditions or a termination of Employment without Cause or as a result of the Optionee’s Disability or death, if and to the extent permitted by the Code (including Section 409A thereof) and if such exercise would not adversely affect any of the Companies’ results of operations under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, by means of withholding of Units subject to the Option with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to (i) the aggregate exercise price and (ii) if commercially reasonable for the Company or Lowerco, as the case may be, to so permit (taking into account its cash position in light of any contractual or legal restrictions) minimum statutory withholding taxes with respect to such exercise, or by such other method provided under the Plan and explicitly approved by the Administrator. In the event that this Option is exercised by a person other than the Optionee, the Companies will be under no obligation to deliver Shares hereunder unless and until it is satisfied as to the authority of the Option Holder to exercise this Option.

 

  (b) Time To Exercise. The Option must be exercised no later than the Final Exercise date, and if not exercised by such date, will thereupon terminate. The Option must also be exercised by the termination of the Optionee’s Employment and, if not exercised by such date, will thereupon terminate, provided that, upon termination of the Optionee’s Employment (i) by Employer without Cause, (ii) by resignation by the Optionee, or (iii) as a result of a Disability or death, the Option will remain exercisable until the earlier of the 90th day after the Date of Termination (or the one-year anniversary thereof in the case of a termination resulting from Disability or death) or the Final Exercise Date, and will thereupon terminate.

 

5. Certain Calls and Puts. The Options granted hereunder and the related Shares are subject to the call and put rights contained in Section 6 of the Stockholders Agreement, except that such put rights shall be granted only if and to the extent permitted by the Code (including Section 409A thereof); provided, however, that the call rights contained in Section 6 of the Stockholders Agreement shall not apply in the event of a termination resulting from Disability or death.

 

6. Share Restrictions, etc. Except as expressly provided herein, the Optionee’s rights hereunder and with respect to Shares received upon exercise are subject to the restrictions and other provisions contained in the Stockholders Agreement.

 

-4-


7. Distributions, Redemptions, etc. On the occurrence of an Adjustment Event, the per-Unit exercise price of this Option, whether vested or unvested, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (a) the per-share amount paid in connection with the Adjustment Event and (b) the number of shares of the class of stock affected by the Adjustment Event that were included in each Unit immediately prior to the Adjustment Event; provided, however, that any such reduction shall be limited to that portion of such amount which would not cause the per-Unit exercise price of the Option to be reduced below 25% of the fair market value, as of the date the Option was granted, of the Shares that are included in each Unit immediately following the Adjustment Event. In the case of a redemption or repurchase, the number of Shares of the class of stock redeemed or repurchased that are subject to the Option will be automatically reduced by an amount proportionate to the percentage reduction in outstanding shares of the affected class resulting from the redemption or repurchase. Optionee shall be entitled to receive any information reasonably requested regarding the composition of a Unit and the allocation of the Option’s exercise price among the Shares included in a Unit, as adjusted in accordance with this Section 7.

 

8. Forfeiture. Upon exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to this Option, Optionee shall certify on a form acceptable to the Committee that Optionee is in compliance with the Restrictive Covenants and all other agreements between Optionee and the Company. If the Company determines that Optionee is not in compliance with one or more of the Restrictive Covenants, and such non-compliance has not been authorized in advance in a specific written waiver from the Company, the Committee may cancel any unexercised portion. The Company shall also have the following (and only the following) additional remedies:

 

  (a) During the six months after any exercise, payment or delivery of shares pursuant to this Option, such exercise, payment or delivery may be rescinded at the Company’s Option if Optionee fails to comply in any material respect with the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or if Optionee breaches any duty to the Company. The Company shall notify Optionee in writing of any such rescission within one year after such exercise, payment or delivery. Within ten days after receiving such a notice from the Company, Optionee shall remit or deliver to the Company (i) the amount of any gain realized upon the sale of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option, (ii) any consideration received upon the exchange of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option (or the extent that such consideration was not received in the form of cash, the cash equivalent thereof valued of the time of the exchange) and (ii) the number of Shares received in connection with the rescinded exercise.

 

  (b)

The Company shall have the right to offset, against any Shares and any cash amounts due to Optionee under or by reason of Optionee’s holding this Option, any amounts to which the Company is entitled as a result of Optionee’s violation of the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or Optionee’s breach of any duty to

 

-5-


 

the Company. Accordingly, Optionee acknowledges that (i) the Company may delay exercise of this Option or withhold delivery of Shares, (ii) the Company may place the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Shares in an escrow account of the Company’s choosing pending resolution of any dispute with the Company, and (iii) the Company has no liability for any attendant market risk caused by any such delay, withholding, or escrow.

 

Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the calculation of damages from a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or of any duty to the Company would be difficult to calculate accurately and that the right to offset or other remedy provided for herein is reasonable and not a penalty. Optionee further agrees not to challenge the reasonableness of such provisions even where the Company rescinds, delays, withholds or escrows Shares or proceeds or uses those Shares or proceeds as a setoff.

 

9. Legends, etc. Shares issued upon exercise shall bear such legends as may be required or provided for under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.

 

10. Transfer of Option. This Option may only be transferred by the laws of descent and distribution, to a legal representative in the event of the Optionee’s incapacity, or to a Family Member with the consent of the Compensation Committee of the Board, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

11. Withholding. The exercise of the Option will give rise to “wages” subject to withholding. The Optionee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Optionee’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued Shares upon exercise, are subject to the Optionee promptly paying to the Companies in cash (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion) all taxes required to be withheld. The Optionee also authorizes the Companies and their subsidiaries to withhold such amount from any amounts otherwise owed to the Optionee and the Companies may so withhold as provided in Section 4(a) above.

 

12. Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of this Option, nor the issuance of Shares upon exercise of this Option, shall give the Optionee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates, affect the right of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates to discharge or discipline such Optionee at any time, or affect any right of such Optionee to terminate his or her Employment at any time.

 

13. Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.

By acceptance of this Option, the undersigned agrees hereby to become a party to, and be bound by the terms of, the Stockholders Agreement as a “Manager” as defined therein.

Each election to exercise this Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and shall be in writing, signed by the Optionee or by his or her executor, administrator, or permitted transferee (subject to any restrictions provided

under the Plan and the Stockholders Agreement), made pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and received by the Companies at their principal offices, accompanied by payment in full as provided in the Plan. The Optionee shall not exercise this Option as to Shares of a single class but must exercise this Option as to Units. The purchase price may be paid by delivery of cash or check acceptable to the Administrator or, in case of an exercise on the Final Exercise Date, or after a Sale of a Business where the Optionee is employed by a Sold Business and is not offered employment with a Retained Business on substantially similar terms and conditions or a termination of Employment without Cause or as a result of the Optionee’s Disability or death, if and to the extent permitted by the Code (including Section 409A thereof) and if such exercise would not adversely affect any of the Companies’ results of operations under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, by means of withholding of Units subject to the Option with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to (i) the aggregate exercise price and (ii) if commercially reasonable for the Company or Lowerco, as the case may be, to so permit (taking into account its cash position in light of any contractual or legal restrictions) minimum statutory withholding taxes with respect to such exercise, or by such other method provided under the Plan and explicitly approved by the Administrator. In the event that this Option is exercised by a person other than the Optionee, the Companies will be under no obligation to deliver Shares hereunder unless and until it is satisfied as to the authority of the Option Holder to exercise this Option.

 

  (b) Time To Exercise. The Option must be exercised no later than the Final Exercise date, and if not exercised by such date, will thereupon terminate. The Option must also be exercised by the termination of the Optionee’s Employment and, if not exercised by such date, will thereupon terminate, provided that, upon termination of the Optionee’s Employment (i) by Employer without Cause, (ii) by resignation by the Optionee, or (iii) as a result of a Disability or death, the Option will remain exercisable until the earlier of the 90th day after the Date of Termination (or the one-year anniversary thereof in the case of a termination resulting from Disability or death) or the Final Exercise Date, and will thereupon terminate.

6. Share Restrictions, etc. Except as expressly provided herein, the Optionee’s rights hereunder and with respect to Shares received upon exercise are subject to the restrictions and other provisions contained in the Stockholders Agreement.

 

- 4 -


7. Distributions, Redemptions, etc. On the occurrence of an Adjustment Event, the per-Unit exercise price of this Option, whether vested or unvested, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (a) the per-share amount paid in connection with the Adjustment Event and (b) the number of shares of the class of stock affected by the Adjustment Event that were included in each Unit immediately prior to the Adjustment Event; provided, however, that any such reduction shall be limited to that portion of such amount which would not cause the per-Unit exercise price of the Option to be reduced below 25% of the fair market value, as of the date the Option was granted, of the Shares that are included in each Unit immediately following the Adjustment Event. In the case of a redemption or repurchase, the number of Shares of the class of stock redeemed or repurchased that are subject to the Option will be automatically reduced by an amount proportionate to the percentage reduction in outstanding shares of the affected class resulting from the redemption or repurchase. Optionee shall be entitled to receive any information reasonably requested regarding the composition of a Unit and the allocation of the Option’s exercise price among the Shares included in a Unit, as adjusted in accordance with this Section 7.

 

8. Forfeiture. Upon exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to this Option, Optionee shall certify on a form acceptable to the Committee that Optionee is in compliance with the Restrictive Covenants and all other agreements between Optionee and the Company. If the Company determines that Optionee is not in compliance with one or more of the Restrictive Covenants, and such non-compliance has not been authorized in advance in a specific written waiver from the Company, the Committee may cancel any unexercised portion. The Company shall also have the following (and only the following) additional remedies:

 

  (a) During the six months after any exercise, payment or delivery of shares pursuant to this Option, such exercise, payment or delivery may be rescinded at the Company’s Option if Optionee fails to comply in any material respect with the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or if Optionee breaches any duty to the Company. The Company shall notify Optionee in writing of any such rescission within one year after such exercise, payment or delivery. Within ten days after receiving such a notice from the Company, Optionee shall remit or deliver to the Company (i) the amount of any gain realized upon the sale of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option, (ii) any consideration received upon the exchange of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option (or the extent that such consideration was not received in the form of cash, the cash equivalent thereof valued of the time of the exchange) and (ii) the number of Shares received in connection with the rescinded exercise.

 

  (b)

The Company shall have the right to offset, against any Shares and any cash amounts due to Optionee under or by reason of Optionee’s holding this Option, any amounts to which the Company is entitled as a result of Optionee’s violation of the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or Optionee’s breach of any duty to

 

- 5 -


 

the Company. Accordingly, Optionee acknowledges that (i) the Company may delay exercise of this Option or withhold delivery of Shares, (ii) the Company may place the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Shares in an escrow account of the Company’s choosing pending resolution of any dispute with the Company, and (iii) the Company has no liability for any attendant market risk caused by any such delay, withholding, or escrow.

 

Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the calculation of damages from a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or of any duty to the Company would be difficult to calculate accurately and that the right to offset or other remedy provided for herein is reasonable and not a penalty. Optionee further agrees not to challenge the reasonableness of such provisions even where the Company rescinds, delays, withholds or escrows Shares or proceeds or uses those Shares or proceeds as a setoff.

 

9. Legends, etc. Shares issued upon exercise shall bear such legends as may be required or provided for under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.

 

10. Transfer of Option. This Option may only be transferred by the laws of descent and distribution, to a legal representative in the event of the Optionee’s incapacity, or to a Family Member with the consent of the Compensation Committee of the Board, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

11. Withholding. The exercise of the Option will give rise to “wages” subject to withholding. The Optionee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Optionee’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued Shares upon exercise, are subject to the Optionee promptly paying to the Companies in cash (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion) all taxes required to be withheld. The Optionee also authorizes the Companies and their subsidiaries to withhold such amount from any amounts otherwise owed to the Optionee and the Companies may so withhold as provided in Section 4(a) above.

 

12. Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of this Option, nor the issuance of Shares upon exercise of this Option, shall give the Optionee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates, affect the right of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates to discharge or discipline such Optionee at any time, or affect any right of such Optionee to terminate his or her Employment at any time. Optionee, in accepting this Option, represents and acknowledges that Optionee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; that participation in the Plan is discretionary and does not form any part of Optionee’s contract of employment, if any, with the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and that Optionee has not been induced to participate in the Plan by any expectation of employment or continued employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Optionee furthermore understands and acknowledges that the grant of this Stock Option is discretionary and a one-time occurrence, does not constitute any portion of Optionee’s regular remuneration and is not intended to be taken into

 

- 6 -


account in calculating service-related benefits, and bears no guarantee or implication that any additional grant will be made in the future.

 

13. Personal Data. Optionee understands and acknowledges that in order to perform its obligations under the Plan, the Company and its subsidiaries may process personal data and/or sensitive personal data relating to Optionee.

4. Exercise of Option.

 

  (a)

In General. The latest date on which this Option may be exercised is August 11, 2015, (the “Final Exercise Date”). Each election to exercise this Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and shall be in writing, signed by the Optionee or by his or her executor, administrator, or permitted transferee (subject to any restrictions provided

 

- 3 -


 

under the Plan and the Stockholders Agreement), made pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and received by the Companies at their principal offices, accompanied by payment in full as provided in the Plan. The Optionee shall not exercise this Option as to Shares of a single class but must exercise this Option as to Units. The purchase price may be paid by delivery of cash or check acceptable to the Administrator or, in case of an exercise on the Final Exercise Date, or after a Sale of a Business where the Optionee is employed by a Sold Business and is not offered employment with a Retained Business on substantially similar terms and conditions or a termination of Employment without Cause or as a result of the Optionee’s Disability or death, if and to the extent permitted by the Code (including Section 409A thereof) and if such exercise would not adversely affect any of the Companies’ results of operations under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, by means of withholding of Units subject to the Option with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to (i) the aggregate exercise price and (ii) if commercially reasonable for the Company or Lowerco, as the case may be, to so permit (taking into account its cash position in light of any contractual or legal restrictions) minimum statutory withholding taxes with respect to such exercise, or by such other method provided under the Plan and explicitly approved by the Administrator. In the event that this Option is exercised by a person other than the Optionee, the Companies will be under no obligation to deliver Shares hereunder unless and until it is satisfied as to the authority of the Option Holder to exercise this Option.

 

  (b) Time To Exercise. The Option must be exercised no later than the Final Exercise date, and if not exercised by such date, will thereupon terminate. The Option must also be exercised by the termination of the Optionee’s Employment and, if not exercised by such date, will thereupon terminate, provided that, upon termination of the Optionee’s Employment (i) by Employer without Cause, (ii) by resignation by the Optionee, or (iii) as a result of a Disability or death, the Option will remain exercisable until the earlier of the 90th day after the Date of Termination (or the one-year anniversary thereof in the case of a termination resulting from Disability or death) or the Final Exercise Date, and will thereupon terminate.

 

5. Certain Calls and Puts. The Options granted hereunder and the related Shares are subject to the call and put rights contained in Section 6 of the Stockholders Agreement, except that such put rights shall be granted only if and to the extent permitted by the Code (including Section 409A thereof); provided, however, that the call rights contained in Section 6 of the Stockholders Agreement shall not apply in the event of a termination resulting from Disability or death.

 

6. Share Restrictions, etc. Except as expressly provided herein, the Optionee’s rights hereunder and with respect to Shares received upon exercise are subject to the restrictions and other provisions contained in the Stockholders Agreement.

 

- 4 -


7. Distributions, Redemptions, etc. On the occurrence of an Adjustment Event, the per-Unit exercise price of this Option, whether vested or unvested, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (a) the per-share amount paid in connection with the Adjustment Event and (b) the number of shares of the class of stock affected by the Adjustment Event that were included in each Unit immediately prior to the Adjustment Event; provided, however, that any such reduction shall be limited to that portion of such amount which would not cause the per-Unit exercise price of the Option to be reduced below 25% of the fair market value, as of the date the Option was granted, of the Shares that are included in each Unit immediately following the Adjustment Event. In the case of a redemption or repurchase, the number of Shares of the class of stock redeemed or repurchased that are subject to the Option will be automatically reduced by an amount proportionate to the percentage reduction in outstanding shares of the affected class resulting from the redemption or repurchase. Optionee shall be entitled to receive any information reasonably requested regarding the composition of a Unit and the allocation of the Option’s exercise price among the Shares included in a Unit, as adjusted in accordance with this Section 7.

 

8. Forfeiture. Upon exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to this Option, Optionee shall certify on a form acceptable to the Committee that Optionee is in compliance with the Restrictive Covenants and all other agreements between Optionee and the Company. If the Company determines that Optionee is not in compliance with one or more of the Restrictive Covenants, and such non-compliance has not been authorized in advance in a specific written waiver from the Company, the Committee may cancel any unexercised portion. The Company shall also have the following (and only the following) additional remedies:

 

  (a) During the six months after any exercise, payment or delivery of shares pursuant to this Option, such exercise, payment or delivery may be rescinded at the Company’s Option if Optionee fails to comply in any material respect with the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or if Optionee breaches any duty to the Company. The Company shall notify Optionee in writing of any such rescission within one year after such exercise, payment or delivery. Within ten days after receiving such a notice from the Company, Optionee shall remit or deliver to the Company (i) the amount of any gain realized upon the sale of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option, (ii) any consideration received upon the exchange of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option (or the extent that such consideration was not received in the form of cash, the cash equivalent thereof valued of the time of the exchange) and (ii) the number of Shares received in connection with the rescinded exercise.

 

  (b)

The Company shall have the right to offset, against any Shares and any cash amounts due to Optionee under or by reason of Optionee’s holding this Option, any amounts to which the Company is entitled as a result of Optionee’s violation of the terms of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or Optionee’s breach of any duty to

 

- 5 -


 

the Company. Accordingly, Optionee acknowledges that (i) the Company may delay exercise of this Option or withhold delivery of Shares, (ii) the Company may place the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Shares in an escrow account of the Company’s choosing pending resolution of any dispute with the Company, and (iii) the Company has no liability for any attendant market risk caused by any such delay, withholding, or escrow.

 

Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the calculation of damages from a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants or of any other agreement with the Company or of any duty to the Company would be difficult to calculate accurately and that the right to offset or other remedy provided for herein is reasonable and not a penalty. Optionee further agrees not to challenge the reasonableness of such provisions even where the Company rescinds, delays, withholds or escrows Shares or proceeds or uses those Shares or proceeds as a setoff.

 

9. Legends, etc. Shares issued upon exercise shall bear such legends as may be required or provided for under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.

 

10. Transfer of Option. This Option may only be transferred by the laws of descent and distribution, to a legal representative in the event of the Optionee’s incapacity, or to a Family Member with the consent of the Compensation Committee of the Board, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

11. Withholding. The exercise of the Option will give rise to “wages” subject to withholding. The Optionee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Optionee’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued Shares upon exercise, are subject to the Optionee promptly paying to the Companies in cash (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion) all taxes required to be withheld. The Optionee also authorizes the Companies and their subsidiaries to withhold such amount from any amounts otherwise owed to the Optionee and the Companies may so withhold as provided in Section 4(a) above.

 

12. Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of this Option, nor the issuance of Shares upon exercise of this Option, shall give the Optionee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates, affect the right of the Company, Lowerco or any of their Affiliates to discharge or discipline such Optionee at any time, or affect any right of such Optionee to terminate his or her Employment at any time. Optionee, in accepting this Option, represents and acknowledges that Optionee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; that participation in the Plan is discretionary and does not form any part of Optionee’s contract of employment, if any, with the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and that Optionee has not been induced to participate in the Plan by any expectation of employment or continued employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Optionee furthermore understands and acknowledges that the grant of this Stock Option is discretionary and a one-time occurrence, does not constitute any portion of Optionee’s regular remuneration and is not intended to be taken into

 

- 6 -


account in calculating service-related benefits, and bears no guarantee or implication that any additional grant will be made in the future.

 

13. Personal Data. Optionee understands and acknowledges that in order to perform its obligations under the Plan, the Company and its subsidiaries may process personal data and/or sensitive personal data relating to Optionee. Such data includes but is not limited to the information provided in this Agreement and any changes thereto, other appropriate personal and financial data relating to Optionee, and information about Optionee’s participation in the Plan and the Shares acquired from time to time pursuant to the Plan. Optionee, in accepting this Option, gives his or her explicit and voluntary consent to the Company and its subsidiaries to process any such personal data and/or sensitive personal data. Optionee also hereby gives his or her explicit and voluntary consent to the Company and its subsidiaries to transfer any such personal data and/or sensitive personal data outside the country in which Optionee works or is employed. The legal persons for whom Optionee’s personal data are intended include the Company and any of its subsidiaries, any outside plan administrator or service provider selected by the Company or any of its subsidiaries from time to time, and any other person that the Administrator may find in its administration of the Plan to be appropriate. Optionee hereby acknowledges that he or she has been informed of his or her right of access and correction to his or her personal data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Optionee understands that the transfer of the information described herein is important to the administration of the Plan and that failure to consent to the transmission of such information may limit or prohibit his or her participation in the Plan.

 

14. Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of Delaware in the United States of America without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

By acceptance of this Option, the undersigned agrees hereby to become a party to, and be bound by the terms of, the Stockholders Agreement as a “Manager” as defined therein.
