EXHIBIT A
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK OPTION GRANT
1. Grant . The Company
hereby grants to the Participant named in the Notice of Grant (the
“Participant”) an option (the “Option”) to
purchase the number of Shares, as set forth in the Notice of Grant,
at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Grant
(the “Exercise Price”), subject to all of the terms and
conditions in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated
herein by reference. Subject to Section 18(c) of the Plan, in the
event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan
and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and
conditions of the Plan will prevail.
If designated in the Notice of Grant
as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”), this Option is
intended to qualify as an ISO under Section 422 of the Code.
However, if this Option is intended to be an ISO, to the extent
that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d) it will be
treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”).
2. Vesting Schedule .
Except as provided in Section 3, the Option awarded by this
Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set
forth in the Notice of Grant. Shares scheduled to vest on a certain
date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in
Participant in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Agreement, unless Participant will have been continuously a Service
Provider from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting
occurs.
3. Administrator
Discretion . The Administrator, in its discretion, may
accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of
the balance, of the unvested Option at any time, subject to the
terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Option will be
considered as having vested as of the date specified by the
Administrator.
4. Exercise of Option .
This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the
Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in
accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Agreement.
This
Option is exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice, in the
form attached as Exhibit B (the “Exercise
Notice”) or in a manner and pursuant to such procedures as
the Administrator may determine, which will state the election to
exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the
Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and
such other representations and agreements as may be required by the
Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Exercise Notice
will be completed by Participant and delivered to the Company. The
Exercise Notice will be accompanied by payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares together with any
applicable tax withholding. This Option will be deemed to be
exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed
Exercise Notice accompanied by such aggregate Exercise Price.
5. Method of Payment .
Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price will be by any of the
following, or a combination thereof, at the election of
Participant:
(a) cash;
- 3 -
(b) check;
(c) consideration
received by the Company under a formal cashless exercise program
adopted by the Company in connection with the Plan; or
(d) surrender
of other Shares, provided that such Shares have a Fair Market Value
on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of
the Exercised Shares and that accepting such Shares, in the sole
discretion of the Administrator, will not result in any adverse
accounting consequences to the Company.
6. Tax Obligations
.
(a)
Withholding of Taxes . Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of this Agreement, no certificate representing the Shares
will be issued to Participant, unless and until satisfactory
arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) will have been
made by Participant with respect to the payment of income,
employment and other taxes which the Company determines must be
withheld with respect to such Shares. To the extent determined
appropriate by the Company in its discretion, it shall have the
right (but not the obligation) to satisfy any tax withholding
obligations by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable
to Participant. If Participant fails to make satisfactory
arrangements for the payment of any required tax withholding
obligations hereunder at the time of the Option exercise,
Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to
honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding
amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.
