THIS NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the Grant Date specified above, by and between Textura Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Participant, is entered into pursuant to the Textura Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time, the “Plan”).  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the text of this Agreement have the meanings attributed to them in the Plan.  This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

 

1.             Grant of Options.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant a Non-Qualified Stock Option (the “Option”) to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock set forth above (such shares of Common Stock are referred to as the “Option Shares”) at the Exercise Price per share set forth above.

 

Vesting.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Option granted pursuant to this Agreement shall vest as follows:  [Insert Applicable Vesting Schedule] (each a “Vesting Date”), provided that the Participant’s Termination Date has not occurred before the applicable Vesting Date.  Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, any portion of the Option that is not vested upon the Participant’s Termination Date shall immediately expire and shall be forfeited and the Participant shall have no further rights with respect thereto, including the right to exercise the Option.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s Termination Date occurs due to Disability or death prior to a Vesting Date, then the Option shall become vested with respect to all Option Shares subject thereto with respect to which a Vesting Date has not yet occurred as of the Termination Date and the Termination Date shall be treated as the Vesting Date for purposes of this Section 3 with respect to such Option Shares.  The Participant may only exercise the Option with respect to Option Shares to the extent the Option is vested with respect to such Option Shares.  If the ‘s Termination Date occurs for any reason prior to a Vesting Date, any right to purchase Option Shares which has not become vested prior to such Termination Date shall be immediately cancelled and forfeited as of such Termination Date.

 



 

2.             Option Exercise.  Subject to this Agreement and the Plan, on and after a Vesting Date, the Option may be exercised in whole or in part with respect to the number of Option Shares which have become vested pursuant to Section 2 above by filing a written notice with the Committee in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee; provided, however, that in no event will the Option (or any portion thereof) be exercisable after the Expiration Date of the Option.  Any such notice shall specify the number of Option Shares which the Participant elects to purchase, and shall be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for such Option Shares indicated by the Participant’s election (except as otherwise provided by the Committee in connection with a broker-assisted cashless exercise program).  Subject to applicable law, the Exercise Price shall be payable in cash or cash equivalents, by tendering, by actual delivery or by attestation, shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value as of the day of exercise or by a combination thereof; provided, however, that shares of Common Stock may not be used to pay any portion of the Exercise Price unless the holder thereof has good title, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. The Option shall not be exercisable if and to the extent the Company determines that such exercise would violate applicable state or Federal securities laws or the rules and regulations of any securities exchange on which the Stock is traded.

 

3.             Withholding.  The Company may require as a condition precedent to the issuance or transfer of any Option Shares that the Participant make such arrangements to the satisfaction of the Committee for the satisfaction of any federal, state or local withholding tax obligations that may arise including requiring the Participant to remit cash to the Company in an amount equal to such withholding.  If the amount so requested is not remitted, the Company may refuse to issue or permit the transfer of the Option Shares.  At the election of the Participant and subject to such rules and limitations as may be established by the Committee from time to time, withholding obligations may be satisfied through the surrender of Common Stock which the Participant already owns or to which a  is otherwise entitled pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, previously-owned Common Stock that has been held by the Participator Common Stock to which the Participant is entitled pursuant to this Agreement may only be used to satisfy the minimum tax withholding required by applicable law (or other rates that will not have a negative accounting impact).
