Option Agreement and to make all other determinations and take such other actions in respect of the
Plan or any Option as the Board may deem advisable to the extent consistent with the Plan and
applicable law.
4. Shares Subject to Plan.
4.1
Maximum Number of Shares Issuable. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, the
maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be two and a
half million (2,500,000) and shall consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of Stock
or any combination thereof. If an outstanding Option for any reason expires or is terminated or
canceled, or if shares of Stock acquired, subject to repurchase, upon the exercise of an Option are
repurchased by the Company, the shares of Stock allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option
or such repurchased shares of Stock shall again be available for issuance under the Plan.
4.2 Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification or similar change in the
capital structure of the Company, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and class of
shares subject to the Plan and to any outstanding Options and in the exercise price per share of
any outstanding Options. If a majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares that
are subject to outstanding Options are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether
or not pursuant to an Ownership Change Event, as defined in Section 8.1) shares of another
corporation (the New Shares), the Board may unilaterally amend the outstanding Options to provide
that such Options are exercisable for New Shares. In the event of any such amendment the number of
shares subject to, and the exercise price per share of, the outstanding Options shall be adjusted
in a fair and equitable manner as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall
be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number, as determined by the Board, and in no event may
the exercise price of any Option be decreased to an amount less than the par value, if any, of the
stock subject to the Option. The adjustments determined by the Board pursuant to this Section 4.2
shall be final, binding and conclusive.
5. Eligibility and Option Limitations.
5.1
Persons Eligible for Options. Options may be granted only to Employees, Consultants, and
Directors. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, Employees, Consultants and Directors shall
include prospective Employees, prospective Consultants and prospective Directors to whom Options
are granted in connection with written offers of employment or other service relationship with the
Participating Company Group. Eligible persons may be granted more than one (1) Option.
5.2 Option Grant Restrictions. Any person who is not an Employee on the effective date of the grant
of an Option to such person may be granted only a Nonstatutory Stock Option. An Incentive Stock
Option granted to a prospective Employee upon the condition that such person become an Employee
shall be deemed granted effective on the date such person commences service with a Participating
Company, with an exercise price determined as of such date in accordance with Section 6.1.
5.3 Fair Market Value Limitation. To the extent that Options designated as Incentive Stock Options
(granted under all stock option, plans of the Participating Company Group, including the Plan)
become exercisable by an Optionee for the first time during any calendar year for Stock having an
aggregate Fair Market Value greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the portion of
such Options which exceeds such amount shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes
of this Section 5.3, Options designated as Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in
the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of Stock shall be determined as of
the time the Option in respect of such Stock is granted. If the Code is amended to provide for a
different limitation from that set forth in this Section 5.3, such different limitation shall be
deemed incorporated herein effective as of the date and in respect of such Options as required or
permitted by such amendment to the Code. If an Option is treated as an Incentive Stock Option in
part and as a Nonstatutory Stock Option in part by reason of the limitation set forth in this
Section 5.3, the Optionee may designate which portion of such Option the Optionee is exercising. In
the absence of such designation, the Optionee shall be deemed to have exercised the Incentive Stock
Option portion of the Option first. Separate certificates representing each such portion shall be
issued upon the exercise of the Option.
6. Terms and Conditions of Options. Options shall be evidenced by Option Agreements
specifying the number of shares of Stock covered thereby, in such form as the Board shall from time
to time establish. Option Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by
reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:
6.1 Exercise Price. The exercise price for each Option shall be established in the sole discretion
of the Board; provided, however, that (a) the exercise price per share for an Incentive Stock
Option shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of
grant of the Option, (b) the exercise price per share for a Nonstatutory Stock
Option shall be not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of
Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option, and (c) no Option granted to a Ten Percent
Owner Optionee shall have an exercise price per share less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of
the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option (whether an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock
Option) may be granted with an exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set forth above
if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner
qualifying under the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.
6.2 Exercise Period. Options shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or
events, and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria, and restrictions as shall be
determined by the Board and set forth in the Option Agreement evidencing such Option; provided,
however, that (a) no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the
effective date of grant of such Option, (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent
Owner Optionee shall be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years after the effective date
of grant of such Option, and (c) no Option granted to a prospective Employee, prospective
Consultant or prospective Director may become exercisable prior to the date on which such person
commences service with a Participating Company.
6.3 Payment of Exercise Price.
(a) Forms of Consideration Authorized. Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the exercise
price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in
cash by check, or cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company of shares of Stock owned by the
Optionee having a Fair Market Value (as determined by the Company without regard to any
restrictions on transferability applicable to such stock by reason of federal or state securities
laws or agreements with an underwriter for the Company) not less than the exercise price, (iii) by
the assignment of the proceeds of a sale or loan in respect of some or all of the shares being
acquired upon the exercise of the Option (including, without limitation, through an exercise
complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System) (a Cashless
Exercise), (iv) by the Optionees promissory
note in a form approved by the Company, (v) by such other consideration as may be approved by the
Board from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (vi) by any combination
thereof. The Board may at any time or from time to time, by adoption of or by amendment to the
standard forms of Option Agreement described in Section 7, or by other means, grant Options which
do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the exercise
price or which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration.
(b) Tender of Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the
Company of shares of Stock to the extent such tender of Stock would constitute a violation of the
provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Companys stock.
Unless otherwise provided by the Board, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of
shares of Stock unless such shares either have been
owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months or were not acquired directly from the Company.
(c) Cashless Exercise. The Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Companys sole
and absolute discretion, to establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures
for the exercise of Options by means of a Cashless Exercise.
(d) Payment by Promissory Note. No promissory note shall be permitted if the exercise of an Option
using a promissory note would be a violation of any law. Any permitted promissory note shall be on
such terms as the Board shall determine at the time the Option is granted. The Board shall have the
authority to permit or require the Optionee to secure any promissory note used to exercise an
Option with the shares of Stock acquired upon the exercise of the Option or with other collateral
acceptable to the Company. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, if the Company at any time is
subject to the regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or
any other governmental entity affecting the extension of credit in connection with the Companys
securities any promissory note shall comply with such applicable regulations, and the Optionee
shall pay the unpaid principal and accrued interest, if any, to the extent necessary to comply with
such applicable regulations.
6.4 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deduct from the
shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of an Option, or to accept from the Optionee the tender
of a number of whole shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company,
equal to all or any part of the federal, state, local and foreign taxes, if any, required by law to
be withheld by the Participating Company Group in respect of such Option or the shares acquired
upon the exercise thereof. Alternatively or in addition, in its sole discretion, the Company shall
have the right to require the Optionee, through payroll withholding, cash payment or otherwise,
including by means of a Cashless Exercise, to make adequate provision for any such tax withholding
obligations of the Participating Company Group arising in connection with the Option or the shares
acquired upon the exercise thereof. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock
or to release shares of Stock from an escrow established pursuant to the Option Agreement until the
Participating Company Groups tax withholding obligations have been satisfied by the Optionee.
6.5 Repurchase Rights. Shares issued under the Plan may be subject to a right of first refusal, one
or more repurchase options, or other conditions and restrictions as determined by the Board, in its
sole discretion, at the time the Option is granted. The Company shall have the right to assign at
any time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right is then exercisable, to one or
more persons as may be selected by the Company. Upon request by the Company, each Optionee shall
execute any agreement evidencing such transfer restrictions prior to the receipt of shares of Stock
hereunder and shall promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares of
Stock acquired hereunder for the placement on such certificates of appropriate legends evidencing
any such transfer restrictions.
7. Standard Forms of Option Agreement.
7.1 Incentive Stock Options. Unless otherwise provided by the Board at the time the Option is
granted, an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option shall comply with and be subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in the form of Immediately Exercisable Incentive Stock Option
Agreement adopted by the Board concurrently with its adoption of the Plan and as amended from time
to time.
7.2 Nonstatutory Stock Options. Unless otherwise provided by the Board at the time the Option is
granted, an Option designated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option shall comply with and be subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in the form of Immediately Exercisable Nonstatutory Stock Option
Agreement adopted by the Board concurrently with its adoption of the Plan and as amended from time
to time.
7.3 Standard Term of Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2 or by the Board in the
grant of an Option, any Option granted hereunder shall have a term of ten (10) years from the
effective date of grant of the Option.
7.4 Authority to Vary Terms. The Board shall have the authority from time to time to vary the terms
of any of the standard forms of Option Agreement described in this Section 7 either in connection
with the grant or amendment of an individual Option or in connection with the authorization of a
new standard form or forms; provided, however, that the terms and conditions of any such new,
revised or amended standard form or forms of Option Agreement are not inconsistent with the terms
of the Plan. Such authority shall include, but not by way of limitation, the authority to grant
Options which are not immediately exercisable.
8. Transfer of Control.
8.1 Definitions.
(a) An Ownership Change Event shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the following occurs in
respect of the Company:
(i) the direct or indirect sale or exchange in a single or series of related transactions by the
stockholders of the Company of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of the Company;
(ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is a party;
(iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(iv) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
(b) A Transfer of Control shall mean an Ownership Change Event or a series of related Ownership
Change Events (collectively, the Transaction) wherein the stockholders of the Company immediately
before the Transaction do not retain immediately after the Transaction, in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of shares of the Companys voting stock immediately before the
Transaction, direct or indirect beneficial ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the total
combined voting power of the outstanding voting stock of the Company or the corporation or
corporations to which the assets of the Company were transferred (the Transferee Corporation(s)),
as the case may be. For purposes of the preceding sentence, indirect beneficial ownership shall
include, without limitation, an interest resulting from ownership of the voting stock of one or
more corporations which, as a result of the Transaction, own the Company or the Transferee
Corporation(s), as the case may be, either directly or through one or more subsidiary corporations.
The Board shall have the right to determine whether multiple sales or exchanges of the voting stock
of the Company or multiple Ownership Change Events are related, and its determination shall be
final, binding and conclusive.
8.2
Effect of Transfer of Control on Options. In the event of a Transfer of Control, the surviving,
continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or parent corporation thereof, as the case may be
(the Acquiring Corporation), must either assume the Companys rights and obligations under
outstanding Options or substitute for outstanding Options substantially equivalent options for the
Acquiring Corporations stock. For purposes of this Section 8.2, an Option shall be deemed assumed
if, following the Transfer of Control, the Option confers the right to purchase in accordance with
its terms and conditions, for each share of Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the
Transfer of Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) to
which a holder of a Share of Stock on the effective date of the Transfer of Control was entitled.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares acquired upon exercise of an Option prior to the Transfer of
Control and any consideration received pursuant to the Transfer of Control in respect of such
shares shall continue to be subject to all applicable provisions of the Option Agreement evidencing
such Option except as otherwise provided in such Option Agreement. Furthermore, notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the corporation the stock of which is subject to the outstanding Options immediately
prior to an Ownership Change Event described in Section 8.1(a)(i) constituting a Transfer of
Control is the surviving or continuing corporation and immediately after such Ownership Change
Event less than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of its voting stock is held
by another corporation or by other corporations that are members of an affiliated group within the
meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to the provisions of Section 1504(b) of the
Code, the outstanding Options shall not terminate unless the Board otherwise provides in its sole
discretion.
9. Provision of Information. At least annually, copies of the Companys balance
sheet and income statement for the just completed fiscal year shall be made available to each
Optionee and purchaser of shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Option. The Company shall not be
required to provide such information to persons whose duties in connection with the Company assure
them access to equivalent information.
10. Nontransferability of Options. During the lifetime of the Optionee, an Option shall be
exercisable only by the Optionee or the Optionees guardian or
legal representative. No Option shall
be assignable or transferable by the Optionee, except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.
11. Transfer of Companys Rights. In the event any Participating Company assigns, other
than by operation of law, to a third person, other than another Participating Company, any of the
Participating Companys rights to repurchase any shares of Stock acquired upon the exercise of an
Option, the assignee shall pay to the assigning Participating Company the value of such right as
determined by the Company in the Companys sole discretion. Such consideration shall be paid in
cash. In the event such repurchase right is exercisable at the time of such assignment, the value
of such right shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock which may be
repurchased under such right (as determined by the Company) minus the repurchase price of such
shares. The requirements of this Section 11 regarding the minimum consideration to be received by
the assigning Participating Company shall not inure to the benefit of the Optionee whose shares of
Stock are being repurchased. Failure of a Participating Company to comply with the provisions of
this Section 11 shall not constitute a defense or otherwise prevent the exercise of the repurchase
right by the assignee of such right.
12. Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have
as members of the Board or officers or employees of the Participating Company Group, members of the
Board and any officers or employees of the Participating Company Group to whom authority to act for
the Board or the Company is delegated shall be indemnified by the Company against all reasonable
expenses, including attorneys fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the
defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they
or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in
connection with the Plan, or any right granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in
settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by
the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding,
except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding
that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct in duties;
provided, however, that within sixty (60) days after the institution of such action, suit or
proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at its own expense
to handle and defend the same.
13. Termination or Amendment Plan. The Board may terminate or amend the Plan at any time.
However, subject to changes in applicable law, regulations or rules that would permit otherwise,
without the approval of the Companys stockholders there shall be (a) no increase in the maximum
aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except by operation of the
provisions of Section 4.2), (b) no change in the class of persons eligible to receive Incentive
Stock Options, and (c) no other amendment of the Plan that would require approval of the Companys
stockholders under any applicable law, regulation or rule. In any event, no termination or
amendment of the Plan may adversely affect any then outstanding
Option or any unexercised portion thereof, without the consent of the Optionee, unless such
termination or amendment is required to enable an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option to
qualify as an Incentive Stock Option or is necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation
or rule.
14. Stockholder Approval. The Plan or any increase in the maximum number of shares of Stock
issuable thereunder as provided in Section 4.1 (the Maximum Shares) shall be approved by the
stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months of the date of adoption thereof by the Board.
Options granted prior to stockholder approval of the Plan or in excess of the Maximum Shares
previously approved by the stockholders shall become exercisable no earlier than the date of
stockholder approval of the Plan or such increase in the Maximum Shares, as the case may be.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Secretary of the Company certifies that the foregoing ERI CORP.
2001 Stock Option Plan was duly adopted by the Board on April 18, 2001.

Expiration Date means the date ten (10) years after the Date of Option Grant.
(h) Company means ERI Corp., a Delaware corporation, or any successor corporation thereto and as
that term is defined in the ERI Corp. 2001 Option Plan.
(i) Disability means the inability of the Optionee, in the opinion of a qualified physician
acceptable to the Company, to perform the major duties of the Optionees position with the
Participating Company Group because of the sickness or injury of the Optionee.
(j) Securities Act means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(k) Service means the Optionees employment or service with the Participating Company Group,
whether in the capacity of an Employee, a Director or a Consultant. The Optionees Service shall
not be deemed to have terminated merely because of a change in the capacity in which the Optionee
renders Service to the Participating Company Group or a change in the Participating Company for
which the Optionee renders such Service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of
the Optionees Service. Furthermore, the Optionees Service with the Participating Company Group
shall not be deemed to have terminated if the Optionee takes any military leave, sick leave, or
other bona fide leave of absence approved by the Company; provided, however, that if any such leave
exceeds ninety (90) days, on the ninety-first (91st) day of such leave the Optionees Service shall
be deemed to have terminated unless the Optionees right to return to Service with the
Participating Company Group is guaranteed by statute or contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
unless otherwise designated by the Company or required by law, a leave of absence shall not be
treated as Service for purposes of determining the Optionees Vested Ratio. The Optionees Service
shall be deemed to have terminated either upon an actual termination of Service or when the
corporation for which the Optionee performs Service ceases to be a Participating Company. Subject
to the foregoing, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether the Optionees
Service has terminated and the effective date of such termination.
1.2 Construction. Captions and titles contained herein are for convenience only and shall not
affect the meaning of interpretation of any provision of this Option Agreement. Except when
otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall
include the singular. Use of the term or is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context
clearly requires otherwise.
2. Tax Consequences.
2.1 Tax Status of Option. This Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option within the
meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code, but the Company does not represent or warrant that this
Option qualifies as such. The Optionee should consult with the Optionees own tax advisor regarding
the tax effects of this Option and the requirements necessary to obtain favorable income tax
treatment under Section 422 of the Code, including, but not limited to, holding period
requirements. (NOTE: If the aggregate Exercise Price of the Option (that is, the Exercise Price
multiplied by the Number of Option Shares) plus the aggregate exercise price of any other Incentive
Stock Options held by the Optionee (whether granted pursuant to the Plan or any other stock option
plan of the Participating Company Group) is greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000),
the Optionee should contact the President of the Company to ascertain whether the entire Option
qualifies as an Incentive Stock Option.)
2.2 Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code. If the Optionee exercises this Option to purchase
shares of Stock that are both nontransferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the
Optionee understands that the Optionee should consult with the Optionees tax advisor regarding the
advisability of filing with the Internal Revenue Service an election under Section 83(b) of the
Code, which must be
filed no later than thirty (30) days after the date on which the Optionee exercises the Option.
Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option are nontransferable and subject to a substantial risk
of forfeiture if, for example, (a) they are unvested and are subject to a right of the Company to
repurchase such shares at the Optionees original purchase price if the Optionees Service
terminates, (b) the Optionee is an Insider and exercises the Option within six (6) months of the
Date of Option Grant (if a class of equity security of the Company is registered under Section 12
of the Exchange Act), or (c) the Optionee is subject to a restriction on transfer to comply with
Pooling-of-Interests Accounting rules. Failure to file an election under Section 83(b), if
appropriate, may result in adverse tax consequences to the Optionee. The Optionee acknowledges that
the Optionee has been advised to consult with a tax advisor prior to the exercise of the Option
regarding the tax consequences to the Optionee of the exercise of the Option. AN ELECTION UNDER
SECTION 83(b) MUST BE FILED WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH THE OPTIONEE PURCHASES SHARES.
THIS TIME PERIOD CANNOT BE EXTENDED. THE OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TIMELY FILING OF A SECTION
83(b) ELECTION IS THE OPTIONEES SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, EVEN IF THE OPTIONEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR
ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO FILE SUCH ELECTION ON HIS OR HER BEHALF.
3. Administration. All questions of interpretation concerning this Option Agreement shall be
determined by the Board. All determinations by the Board shall be final and binding upon all
persons having an interest in the Option. Any officer of a Participating Company shall have the
authority to act on behalf of the Company in respect of any matter, right, obligation, or election
which is the responsibility of or which is allocated to the Company herein, provided the officer
has apparent authority in respect of such matter, right, obligation, or election.
4. Exercise of the Option.
4.1 Right to Exercise.
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Option shall be exercisable on and after the Initial
Exercise Date and prior to the termination of the Option (as provided in Section 6) in an amount
not to exceed the Number of Option Shares less the number of shares previously acquired upon
exercise of the Option, subject to the Optionees agreement that any shares purchased upon exercise
are subject to the Companys repurchase rights set forth in Section 11 and Section 12.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Section 4.1(b), the aggregate Fair Market
Value of the shares of Stock in respect of which the Optionee may exercise the Option for the first
time during any calendar year, when added to the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares subject
to any other options designated as Incentive Stock Options granted to the Optionee under all stock
option plans of the Participating Company Group prior to the Date of Option Grant in respect of
which such options are exercisable for the first time during the same calendar year, shall not
exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). For purposes of the preceding sentence, options
designated as Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were
granted, and the Fair Market Value of shares of stock shall be determined as of the time the option
in respect of such shares is granted. Such limitation on exercise shall be referred to in this
Option Agreement as the ISO Exercise Limitation If Section 422 of the Code is amended to provide
for a different limitation from that set forth in this Section 4.1(a), the ISO Exercise Limitation
shall be deemed amended effective as of the date required or permitted by such amendment to the
Code. The ISO Exercise Limitation shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the Optionees
termination of Service, (ii) the day immediately prior to the effective date of a Transfer of
Control in which the Option is not assumed or substituted for by the Acquiring Corporation as
provided in Section 8, or (iii) the day ten (10) days prior to the Option Expiration Date. Upon
such termination of the ISO Exercise Limitation, the Option shall be deemed a Nonstatutory Stock
Option to the extent of the number of shares subject to the Option which would otherwise exceed the
ISO Exercise Limitation.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Option Agreement, if compliance with the ISO
Exercise Limitation as set forth in Section 4.1(a) will result in the exercisability of any Vested
Shares (as defined in Section 11.2) being delayed more than thirty (30) days beyond the date such
shares become Vested Shares (the Vesting Date), the Option shall be deemed to be two (2) options.
The first option shall be for the maximum portion of the Number of Option Shares that can comply
with the ISO Exercise Limitation without causing the Option to be unexercisable in the aggregate as
to Vested Shares on the Vesting Date for such shares. The second option, which shall not be treated
as an Incentive Stock Option as described in section 422(b) of the Code, shall be for the balance
of the Number of Option Shares; that is, those such shares which, on the respective Vesting Date
for such shares, would be unexercisable if included in the first option and thereby made subject to
the ISO Exercise Limitation. Shares treated as subject to the second option shall be exercisable on
the same terms and
at the
same time as set forth in this Option Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the second
sentence of Section 4.1 (a) shall not apply to the second option and (ii) each such share shall
become a Vested Share on the Vesting Date on which such share must first be allocated to the second
option pursuant to the preceding sentence. Unless the Optionee specifically elects to the contrary
in the Optionees written notice of exercise, the first option shall be deemed to be exercised
first to the maximum possible extent and then the second option shall be deemed to be exercised.
4.2 Method of Exercise. Exercise of the Option shall be by written notice to the Company which must
state the election to exercise the Option, the number of whole shares of Stock for which the Option
is being exercised and such other representations and agreements as to the Optionees investment
intent in respect of such shares as may be required pursuant to the provisions of this Option
Agreement. The written notice must be signed by the Optionee and must be delivered in person, by
certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, by confirmed facsimile transmission, or by
such other means as the Company may permit, to the President of the Company, or other authorized
representative of the Participating Company Group, prior to the termination of the Option as set
forth in Section 6, accompanied by (i) full payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number
of shares of Stock being purchased and (ii) an executed copy, if required herein, of the then
current forms of escrow and security agreement referenced below. The Option shall be deemed to be
exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written notice, the aggregate Exercise Price, and, if
required by the Company, such executed agreements.
4.3 Payment of Exercise Price.
(a) Forms of Consideration Authorized. Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price for the number of shares of Stock for which the Option is being exercised shall be
made (i) in cash, by check, or cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company of whole shares of
Stock owned by the Optionee having a Fair Market Value (as determined by the Company without regard
to any restrictions on transferability applicable to such stock by reason of federal or state
securities laws or agreements with an underwriter for the Company) not less than the aggregate
Exercise Price, (iii) by means of a Cashless Exercise, as defined in Section 4.3(c), (iv) in the
Companys sole discretion at the time the Option is exercised, by cash for a portion of the
aggregate Exercise Price not less than the par value of the shares being acquired and the
Optionees promissory note for the balance of the aggregate Exercise Price, or (v) by any
combination of the foregoing.
(b) Tender of Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option may not be exercised by tender to
the Company of shares of Stock to the extent such tender of Stock would constitute a violation of
the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Companys
stock. The Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of shares of Stock unless such
shares either have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months or were not acquired,
directly or indirectly, from the Company.
(c) Cashless Exercise. A Cashless Exercise means the assignment in a form acceptable to the
Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan in respect of some or all of the shares of Stock acquired
upon the exercise of the Option pursuant to a program or procedure approved by the Company
(including, without limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T
as promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). The
Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Companys sole and absolute discretion,
to decline to approve or terminate any such program or procedure.
(d) Payment by Promissory Note. No promissory note shall be permitted if an exercise of the
Option using a promissory note would be a violation of any law. The promissory note permitted in
clause (iv) of Section 4.3(a) shall be a full recourse note in a form satisfactory to the Company,
with principal payable no more than four (4) years after the date the Option is exercised. Interest
on the principal balance of the promissory note shall be payable in annual installments at the
minimum interest rate necessary to avoid imputed interest pursuant to all applicable sections of
the Code. Such recourse promissory note shall be secured by the shares of Stock acquired pursuant
to the then current form of security agreement as approved by the Company. At any time the Company
is subject to the regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
or any other governmental entity affecting the extension of credit in connection with the Companys
securities, any promissory note shall comply with such applicable regulations, and the Optionee
shall pay the unpaid principal and accrued interest, if any, to the extent necessary to comply with
such applicable regulations. Except as the Company in its sole discretion shall determine, the
Optionee shall pay the unpaid principal balance of the promissory note and any accrued interest
thereon upon termination of the Optionees Service with the Participating Company Group for any
reason, with or without cause.
4.4 Tax Withholding. At the time the Option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at any time
thereafter as requested by the Company, the Optionee hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and
any other amounts payable to the Optionee, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for
(including by means of a Cashless Exercise to the extent permitted by the Company), any sums
required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the
Participating Company Group, if any, which arise in connection with the Option, including, without
limitation, obligations arising upon (i) the exercise, in whole or in part, of the Option, (ii) the
transfer, in whole or in part, of any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option, (iii) the
operation of any law or regulation providing for the imputation of interest, or (iv) the lapsing of
any restriction in respect of any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option. The Optionee is
cautioned that the Option is not exercisable unless the tax withholding obligations of the
Participating Company Group are satisfied. Accordingly, the Optionee may not be able to exercise
the Option when desired even though the Option is vested, and the Company shall have no obligation
to issue a certificate for such shares or release such shares from any escrow provided for herein.
4.5 Certificate Registration. Except in the event the Exercise Price is paid by means of a Cashless
Exercise, the certificate for the shares as to which the Option is exercised shall be registered in
the name of the Optionee, or, if applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Optionee.
4.6 Restrictions on Grant of the Option and Issuance of Shares. The grant of the Option and the
issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to compliance with all
applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law in respect of such securities. The Option
may not be exercised if the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise would constitute a violation
of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the
requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In
addition, the Option may not be exercised unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities
Act shall at the time of exercise of the Option be in effect in respect of the shares issuable upon
exercise of the Option or (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable
upon exercise of the Option may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. THE OPTIONEE IS CAUTIONED THAT THE OPTION
MAY NOT BE EXERCISED UNLESS THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED. ACCORDINGLY, THE OPTIONEE MAY
NOT BE ABLE TO EXERCISE THE OPTION WHEN DESIRED EVEN THOUGH THE OPTION IS VESTED. Questions
concerning this restriction should be directed to the President of the Company. The inability of
the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the
Companys legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares subject to
the Option shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell
such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to
the exercise of the Option, the Company may require the Optionee to satisfy any qualifications that
may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and
to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.
4.7 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the
exercise of the Option.
5. Nontransferability of the Option. The Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the
Optionee only by the Optionee or the Optionees guardian or legal representative and may not be
assigned or transferred in any manner except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
Following the death of the Optionee, the Option, to the extent provided in Section 7, may be
exercised by the Optionees legal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the
deceased Optionees will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.
6. Termination of the Option. The Option shall terminate and may no longer be exercised on
the first to occur of (a) the Option Expiration Date, (b) the last
date for exercising the Option
following termination of the Optionees Service as described in Section 7, or (c) a Transfer of
Control to the extent provided in Section 8.
7. Effect of Termination of Service.
7.1 Option Exercisability.
(a) Disability. If the Optionees Service with the Participating Company Group is terminated
because of the Disability of the Optionee, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on
the date on which the Optionees Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee (or the
Optionees guardian or legal representative at any time prior to the expiration of six (6) months
after the date on which the Optionees Service terminated, but in any event no later than the
Option Expiration Date. (NOTE: If the Option is exercised more than three (3) months after the date
on which the Optionees Service as an Employee terminated as a result of a Disability other than a
permanent and total disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, the Option will be
treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option and not as an Incentive Stock Option to the extent required
by Section 422 of the Code.)
(b) Death. If the Optionees Service with the Participating Company Group is terminated because of
the death of the Optionee, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on
which the Optionees Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionees legal representative or
other person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by reason of the Optionees death at any
time prior to the expiration of six (6) months after the date on which the Optionees Service
terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. The Optionees Service
shall be deemed to have terminated on account of death if the Optionee dies within thirty (30)
days after the Optionees termination of Service.
(c) Other Termination of Service. If the Optionees Service with the Participating Company Group
terminates for any reason, except Disability or death, the Option, to the extent unexercised and
exercisable by the Optionee on the date on which the Optionees Service terminated, may be
exercised by the Optionee within thirty (30) days (or such other longer period of time as
determined by the Board, in its sole discretion) after the date on which the Optionees Service
terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.
7.2 Additional Limitations on Option Exercise. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.1, the
Option may not be exercised after the Optionees termination of Service to the extent that the shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Option would be subject to the Unvested Share
Repurchase Option as provided in Section 11. Except as the Company and the Optionee otherwise
agree, exercise of the Option pursuant to Section 7.1 following termination of the Optionees Service may not be made by
delivery of a promissory note as provided in Section 4.3(a).
7.3
Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of the
Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 7.1 is prevented by the provisions
of Section 4.6, the Option shall remain exercisable until three (3) months after the date the
Optionee is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than
the Option Expiration Date. The Company makes no representation as to the tax consequences of any
such delayed exercise. The Optionee should consult with the Optionees own tax advisor as to the
tax consequences to the Optionee of any such delayed exercise.
7.4 Extension if Optionee Subject to Section 16(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a sale within
the applicable time periods set forth in Section 7.1 of shares acquired upon the exercise of the
Option would subject the Optionee to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Option shall
remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day following the date on
which a sale of such shares by the Optionee would no longer be subject to such suit, (ii) the one
hundred and ninetieth (190th) day after the Optionees termination of Service, or (iii) the Option
Expiration Date. The Company makes no representation as to the tax consequences of any such delayed
exercise. The Optionee should consult with the Optionees own tax advisor as to the tax
consequences to the Optionee of any such delayed exercise.
8. Transfer of Control.
8.1 Definitions.
(a) An Ownership Change Event shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the following occurs in
respect of the Company:
(i) the direct or indirect sale or exchange in a single or series of related transactions by the
stockholders of the Company of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of the Company;
(ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is a party;
(iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(iv) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
(b) A Transfer of Control shall mean an Ownership Change Event or a series of related Ownership
Change Events (collectively the Transaction) wherein the stockholders of the Company immediately
before the Transaction do not retain immediately after the Transaction, in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of shares of the Companys voting stock immediately before the
Transaction, direct or indirect beneficial ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the total
combined voting power of the outstanding voting stock of the Company or the
corporation or corporations to which the assets of the Company were transferred (the Transferee Corporation(s)),
as the case may be. For purposes of the preceding sentence, indirect beneficial ownership shall
include, without limitation, an interest resulting from ownership of the voting stock of one or
more corporations which, as a result of the Transaction, own the Company or the Transferee
Corporation(s), as the case may be, either directly or through one or more subsidiary corporations.
The Board shall have the right to determine whether multiple sales or exchanges of the voting stock
of the Company or multiple Ownership Change Events are related, and its determination shall be
final, binding and conclusive.
8.2 Effect of Transfer of Control on Option. In the event of a Transfer of Control, any unvested
Stock acquired by the Optionee under the Option shall vest immediately. In respect of any portion
of the Option which remains unexercised at the time of Transfer of Control, the surviving,
continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or parent corporation thereof, as the case may be
(the Acquiring Corporation), must either assume the Companys rights and obligations under the
Option or substitute for the Option a substantially equivalent option
for the Acquiring
Corporations stock. For purposes of this Section 8.2, the Option shall be deemed assumed if,
following the Transfer of Control, the Option confers the right to purchase in accordance with its
terms and conditions, for each share of Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the
Transfer of Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) to which a holder of a share of Stock on the effective date of the Transfer of Control
was entitled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares acquired upon exercise of the Option prior to
the Transfer of Control and any consideration received pursuant to the Transfer of Control in
respect of such shares shall continue to be subject to all applicable provisions of this Option
Agreement except as otherwise provided herein. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
corporation the stock of which is subject to the Option immediately prior to an Ownership Change
Event described in Section 8.1(a)(i) constituting a Transfer of Control is the surviving or
continuing corporation and immediately after such Ownership Change Event less than fifty percent
(50%) of the total combined voting power of its voting stock is held by another corporation or by
other corporations that are members of an affiliated group within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of
the Code without regard to the provisions of Section 1504(b) of the Code, the Option shall not
terminate unless the Board otherwise provides in its sole discretion.
9. Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. In the event of any stock dividend, stock
split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or similar change in
the capital structure of the Company, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number, Exercise
Price and class of shares of stock subject to the Option. If a majority of the shares which are of
the same class as the shares that are subject to the Option are exchanged for, converted into, or
otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to an Ownership Change Event) shares of another
corporation (the New Shares), the Board may unilaterally amend the Option to provide that the
Option is exercisable for New Shares. In the event of any such amendment, the Number of Option
Shares and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner,
as determined by
the Board, in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any fractional share resulting
from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole
number, as determined by the Board, and in no event may the Exercise Price be decreased to an
amount less than the par value, if any, of the stock subject to the Option. The adjustments
determined by the Board pursuant to this Section 9 shall be final, binding and conclusive.
10. Rights as a Stockholder Employee or Consultant. The Optionee shall have no rights as
a stockholder in respect of any shares covered by the Option until the date of the issuance of a
certificate for the shares for which the Option has been exercised (as evidenced by the appropriate
entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No
adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is
prior to the date such certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 9. If the Optionee is
an Employee, the Optionee understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in a
separate, written employment agreement between a Participating Company and the Optionee, the
Optionees employment is at will and is for no specified term. Nothing in this Option Agreement
shall confer upon the Optionee, whether an Employee or Consultant, any right to continue in the
Service of a Participating Company or interfere in any way with any right of the Participating
Company Group to terminate the Optionees Service as an Employee or Consultant, as the case may be,
at any time.
11. Unvested Share Repurchase Option.
11.1 Grant of Unvested Share Repurchase Option. In the event the Optionees Service with the
Participating Company Group is terminated for any reason or no reason, with or without cause, or if
the Optionee, the Optionees legal representative, or other holder of shares acquired upon exercise
of the Option attempts to sell, exchange, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (other than
pursuant to an Ownership Change Event) any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option which exceed
the Vested Shares as defined in Section 11.2 below (the Unvested Shares), the Company shall have
the right to repurchase the Unvested Shares under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in this Section 11 (the Unvested Share Repurchase Option).
11.2
Vested Shares and Unvested Shares Defined. The Vested Shares shall mean, on any given date,
a number of shares of Stock equal to the Number of Option Shares multiplied by the Vested Ratio
determined as of such date and rounded down to the nearest whole share. On such given date, the
Unvested Shares shall mean the number of shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option
which exceed the Vested Shares determined as of such date.
11.3 Exercise of Unvested Share Repurchase Option. The Company may exercise the Unvested Share
Repurchase Option by written notice to the Optionee within sixty (60) days after (a) termination of
the Optionees Service (or exercise of the Option, if later) or (b) the Company has received notice
of the attempted disposition of Unvested Shares. If the Company fails to give notice within such
sixty (60) day period,
the Unvested Share Repurchase Option shall terminate unless the Company and the Optionee have
extended the time for the exercise of the Unvested Share Repurchase Option. The Unvested Share
Repurchase Option must be exercised, if at all, for all of the Unvested Shares, except as the
Company and the Optionee otherwise agree.
11.4 Payment for Shares and Return of Shares to Company. The purchase price per share being
repurchased by the Company shall be an amount equal to the Optionees original cost per share, as
adjusted pursuant to Section 9 (the Repurchase Price). The Company shall pay the aggregate
Repurchase Price to the Optionee in cash within thirty (30) days after the date of the written
notice to the Optionee of the Companys exercise of the Unvested Share Repurchase Option. For
purposes of the foregoing, cancellation of any indebtedness of the Optionee to any Participating
Company shall be treated as payment to the Optionee in cash to the extent of the unpaid principal
and any accrued interest canceled. The shares being repurchased shall be delivered to the Company
by the Optionee at the same time as the delivery of the Repurchase Price to the Optionee.
11.5 Assignment of Unvested Share Repurchase Option. The Company shall have the right to assign the
Unvested Share Repurchase Option at any time, whether or not such option is then exercisable, to
one or more persons as may be selected by the Company.
11.6 Ownership Change Event. Upon the occurrence of an Ownership Change Event, any and all new,
substituted or additional securities or other property to which the Optionee is entitled by reason
of the Optionees ownership of Unvested Shares shall be immediately subject to the Unvested Share
Repurchase Option and included in the terms Stock and Unvested Shares for all purposes of the
Unvested Share Repurchase Option with the same force and effect as the Unvested Shares immediately
prior to the Ownership Change Event. While the aggregate Repurchase Price shall remain the same
after such Ownership Change Event, the Repurchase Price per Unvested Share upon exercise of the
Unvested Share Repurchase Option following such Ownership Change Event shall be adjusted as
appropriate. For purposes of determining the Vested Ratio following an Ownership Change Event,
credited Service shall include all Service with any corporation which is a Participating Company at
the time the Service is rendered, whether or not such corporation is a Participating Company both
before and after the Ownership Change Event.
12. Right of First Refusal.
12.1 Grant of Right of First Refusal. Except as provided in Section 12.7 below, in the event the
Optionee, the Optionees legal representative, or other holder of shares acquired upon exercise of
the Option proposes to sell, exchange, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose of any Vested Shares
(the Transfer Shares) to any person or entity, including, without limitation, any stockholder of
the Participating Company Group, the Company shall have the right to repurchase the Transfer Shares
under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 12 (the Right of First
Refusal).
12.2 Notice of Proposed Transfer. Prior to any proposed transfer of the Transfer Shares, the
Optionee shall deliver written notice (the Transfer Notice) to the Company describing fully the
proposed transfer, including the number of Transfer Shares, the name and address of the proposed
transferee (the Proposed Transferee) and, if the transfer is voluntary, the proposed transfer
price, and containing such information necessary to show the bona fide nature of the proposed
transfer. In the event of a bona fide gift or involuntary transfer, the proposed transfer price
shall be deemed to be the Fair Market Value of the Transfer Shares, as determined by the Board in
good faith. If the Optionee proposes to transfer any Transfer Shares to more than one Proposed
Transferee, the Optionee shall provide a separate Transfer Notice for the proposed transfer to each
Proposed Transferee. The Transfer Notice shall be signed by both the Optionee and the Proposed
Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of the Optionee and the Proposed Transferee for
the transfer of the Transfer Shares to the Proposed Transferee subject only to the Right of First
Refusal.
12.3 Bona Fide Transfer. If the Company determines that the information provided by the Optionee in
the Transfer Notice is insufficient to establish the bona fide nature of a proposed voluntary
transfer, the Company shall give the Optionee written notice of the Optionees failure to comply
with the procedure described in this Section 12, and the Optionee shall have no right to transfer
the Transfer Shares without first complying with the procedure described in this Section 12. The
Optionee shall not be permitted to transfer the Transfer Shares if the proposed transfer is not
bona fide.
12.4 Exercise of Right of First Refusal. If the Company determines the proposed transfer to be bona
fide, the Company shall have the right to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Transfer
Shares (except as the Company and the Optionee otherwise agree) at the purchase price and on the
terms set forth in the Transfer Notice by delivery to the Optionee of a notice of exercise of the
Right of First Refusal within thirty (30) days after the date the Transfer Notice is delivered to
the Company. The Companys exercise or failure to exercise the Right of First Refusal in respect of
any proposed transfer described in a Transfer Notice shall not affect the Companys right to
exercise the Right of First Refusal in respect of any proposed transfer described in any other
Transfer Notice, whether or not such other Transfer Notice is issued by the Optionee or issued by a
person other than the Optionee in respect of a proposed transfer to the same
Proposed Transferee. If the Company exercises the Right of First Refusal, the Company and the Optionee shall thereupon
consummate the sale of the Transfer Shares to the Company on the terms set forth in the Transfer
Notice within thirty (30) days after the date the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company
(unless a longer period is offered by the Proposed Transferee); provided, however, that in the
event the Transfer Notice provides for the payment for the Transfer Shares other than in cash, the
Company shall have the option of paying for the Transfer Shares by the present value cash
equivalent of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice as reasonably determined by the
Company. For purposes of the foregoing, cancellation of any indebtedness of the Optionee to any
Participating Company shall be treated as payment to the Optionee in cash to the extent of the
unpaid principal and any accrued interest canceled.
12.5 Failure to Exercise Right of First Refusal. If the Company fails to exercise the Right of
First Refusal in full (or to such lesser extent at the Company and the Optionee otherwise agree)
within the period specified in Section 12.4 above, the Optionee may conclude a transfer to the
Proposed Transferee of the Transfer Shares on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer
Notice, provided such transfer occurs not later than ninety (90) days following delivery to the
Company of the Transfer Notice. The Company shall have the right to demand further assurances from
the Optionee and the Proposed Transferee (in a form satisfactory to the Company) that the transfer
of the Transfer Shares was actually carried out on the terms and conditions described in the
Transfer Notice. No Transfer Shares shall be transferred on the books of the Company until the
Company has received such assurances, if so demanded, and has approved the proposed transfer as
bona fide. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the
Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Optionee, shall again be
subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance by the Optionee with the
procedure described in this Section 12.
12.6 Transferees of Transfer Shares. All transferees of the Transfer Shares or any interest
therein, other than the Company, shall be required as a condition of such transfer to agree in
writing (in a form satisfactory to the Company) that such transferee shall receive and hold such
Transfer Shares or interest therein subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Option
Agreement, including this Section 12 providing for the Right of First Refusal in respect of any
subsequent transfer. Any sale or transfer of any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option shall
be void unless the provisions of this Section 12 are met.
12.7 Transfers Not Subject to Right of First Refusal. The Right of First Refusal shall not apply to
any transfer or exchange of the shares acquired upon exercise of the Option if such transfer or
exchange is in connection with an Ownership Change Event. If the consideration received pursuant to
such transfer or exchange consists of stock of a Participating Company, such consideration shall
remain subject to the Right of First Refusal unless the provisions of Section 12.9 below result in
a termination of the Right of First Refusal.
12.8 Assignment of Right of First Refusal. The Company shall have the right to assign the Right of
First Refusal at any time, whether or not there has been an attempted transfer, to one or more
persons as may be selected by the Company.
12.9 Early Termination of Right of First Refusal. The other provisions of this Option Agreement
notwithstanding, the Right of First Refusal shall terminate and be of no further force and effect
upon (a) the occurrence of a Transfer of Control, unless the Acquiring Corporation assumes the
Companys rights and obligations under the Option or substitutes a substantially equivalent option
for the Acquiring Corporations stock for the Option, or (b) the existence of a public market for
the class of shares subject to the Right of First Refusal. A public market shall be deemed to
exist if (i) such stock is listed on a national securities exchange (as that term is used in the
Exchange Act) or (ii) such stock is traded on the over-the-counter market and prices therefor are
published daily on business days in a recognized financial journal.
13. Escrow.
13.1 Establishment of Escrow. To ensure that shares subject to the Unvested Share Repurchase Option
or the Right of First Refusal or securing any promissory note will be available for repurchase, the
Company may require the Optionee to deposit the certificate evidencing the shares which the
Optionee purchases upon exercise of the Option with an escrow agent designated by the Company under
the terms and conditions of escrow and security agreements approved by the Company. If the Company
does not require such deposit as a condition of exercise of the Option, the Company reserves the
right at any time to require the Optionee to so deposit the certificate in escrow. Upon the
occurrence of an Ownership Change Event or a change, as described in Section 9, in the character or
amount of any of the outstanding stock of the corporation the stock of which is subject to the
provisions of this Option Agreement, any and all new substituted or additional securities or other
property to which the Optionee is entitled by reason of the Optionees ownership of shares of Stock
acquired upon exercise of the Option that remain, following such Ownership Change Event or change
described in Section 9, subject to the Unvested Share Repurchase Option, the Right of First Refusal
or any security interest held by the Company shall be immediately subject to the escrow to the same
extent as such shares of Stock immediately before such event. The Company shall bear the expenses
of the escrow.
13.2 Delivery of Shares to Optionee. As soon as practicable after the expiration of the Unvested
Share Repurchase Option and the Right of First Refusal and after full repayment of any promissory
note secured by the shares or other property in escrow but not more frequently than twice each
calendar year, the escrow agent shall deliver to the Optionee the shares and any other property no
longer subject to such restrictions and no longer securing any promissory note.
13.3 Notices and Payments. In the event the shares and any other property held in escrow are
subject to the Companys exercise of the Unvested Share Repurchase Option or the Right of First
Refusal, the notices required to be given to the
Optionee shall be given to the escrow agent, and
any payment required to be given to the Optionee shall be given to the escrow agent. Within thirty
(30) days after payment by the Company, the escrow agent shall deliver the shares and any other
property which the Company has purchased to the Company and shall deliver the payment received from
the Company to the Optionee.
14. Stock Distributions Subject to Option Agreement. If, from time to time, there is any
stock dividend, stock split or other change, as described in Section 9, in the character or amount
of any of the outstanding stock of the corporation the stock of which is subject to the provisions
of this Option Agreement, them in such event any and all new, substituted or additional securities
to which the Optionee is entitled by reason of the Optionees ownership of the shares acquired upon
exercise of the Option shall be immediately subject to the Unvested Share Repurchase Option, the
Right of First Refusal, and any security interest held by the Company with the same force and
effect as the shares subject to the Unvested Share Repurchase Option, the Right of First Refusal,
and such security interest immediately before such event.
15. Notice of Sales Upon Disqualifying Disposition. The Optionee shall dispose of the
shares acquired pursuant to the Option only in accordance with the provisions of this Option
Agreement. In addition, the Optionee shall promptly notify the President of the Company if the
Optionee disposes of any of the shares acquired pursuant to the Option within one (1) year after
the date the Optionee exercises all or part of the Option or within two (2) years after the Date of
Option Grant and shall provide the Company with a description of the terms and circumstances of
such disposition. Until such time as the Optionee disposes of such shares in a manner consistent
with the provisions of this Option Agreement, unless otherwise expressly authorized by the Company,
the Optionee shall hold all shares acquired pursuant to the Option in the Optionees name (and not
in the name of any nominee) for the one-year period immediately after the exercise of the Option
and the two-year period immediately after Date of Option Grant. At any time during the one-year or
two-year periods set forth above, the Company may place a legend on any certificate representing
shares acquired pursuant to the Option requesting the transfer agent for the Companys stock to
notify the Company of any such transfers. The obligation of the Optionee to notify the Company of
any such transfer shall continue notwithstanding that a legend has been placed on the certificate
pursuant to the preceding sentence.
16. Legends. The Company may at any time place legends referencing the Unvested Share
Repurchase Option, the Right of First Refusal and any applicable federal, state or foreign
securities law restrictions on all certificates representing shares of stock subject to the
provisions of this Option Agreement. The Optionee shall, at the request of the Company, promptly
present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to the Option
in the possession of the Optionee in order to carry out the provisions of this Section. Unless
otherwise specified by the Company, legends placed on such certificates may include, but shall not
be limited to, the following:

PURCHASED UNDER THE INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION IN THE REGISTERED HOLDERS NAME (AND NOT IN THE NAME OF
ANY NOMINEE) PRIOR TO THIS DATE OR UNTIL TRANSFERRED AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
17. Public Offering. The Optionee hereby agrees that in the event of any underwritten public
offering of stock, including an initial public offering of stock, made by the Company pursuant to
an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, the Optionee shall not offer,
sell, contract to sell, pledge, hypothecate, grant any option to purchase or make any short sale
of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of stock of the Company or any rights to acquire stock of
the Company for such period of time
from and after the effective date of such registration
statement as may be established by the underwriter for such public offering; provided, however,
that such period of time shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of

in any manner which violates any of the provisions of this Option Agreement and, except pursuant to
an Ownership Change, until the date on which such shares become Vested Shares, and any such

Option Agreement or (b) to treat as owner of such shares or to accord the right to vote as such
owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such shares will have been so transferred.
