This INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION GRANT AGREEMENT (the “ Agreement ”), dated as of _________________ (the “ Grant Date ”), is delivered by deltathree, Inc.

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Company maintains the deltathree, Inc. 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “ Plan ”) for the benefit of its and its Affiliates’ employees, directors, and consultants;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1.            Grant of Option; Incentive Stock Option Status .  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an option (the “ Option ”) to purchase ___________ shares of Stock at an exercise price of $_________ per share of Stock, subject to adjustment as set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of the Plan.  This Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code.  However, notwithstanding such designation, the Option will qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code only to the extent the $100,000 dollar limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code (as such limitation may be amended from time to time) is not exceeded.  The $100,000 limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is calculated based on the aggregate Market Value of the shares subject to options designated as Incentive Stock Options which become exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all incentive plans of the Company or any “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” of the Company (as such terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code)).  For purposes of this calculation, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Market Value of the shares subject to such options shall be determined as of the grant date of the relevant option.

 

2.            Exercisability of Option .   Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Option shall become exercisable on the following dates, if the Participant continues to provide Service (as defined in the Plan) to the Company or its Affiliates from the Grant Date through the applicable date:

Shares for Which the Option is Exercisable

Third anniversary of the Grant Date

Fourth anniversary of the Grant Date

 

 

25

%

 


 

The exercisability of the Option is cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of the shares of Stock subject to the Option.  If the foregoing schedule would produce fractional shares of Stock, the number of shares of Stock for which the Option becomes exercisable shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share of Stock.

 

3.             Term of Option; Change in Status of Incentive Option .

 

(a)           The Option shall have a term of ten (10) years from the Grant Date, and shall terminate at the expiration of that period, unless it is terminated at an earlier date pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan.

 

(b)           The Option shall automatically terminate upon the happening of the first of the following events:

 

(i)           If the Participant’s Service terminates on account of death or Disability (as defined in the Plan), the expiration of the one-year period following the date of the Participant’s termination of Service on account of death or Disability; provided, however, that if such Disability is not a “disability” as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, this Option shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Option on the day three (3) months and one (1) day following the date of the Participant’s termination of Service on account of Disability.

 

(ii)          If the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason other than on account of death, Disability, or termination for Cause (as defined in the Plan), the expiration of the 90 day period following the date of the Participant’s termination of Service for any reason other than on account of death, Disability, or termination for Cause.

 

(iii)         If the Participant’s Service is terminated for Cause (unless the Committee determines otherwise), the date on which the Participant’s Service is terminated.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Option be exercised after the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.  Any portion of the Option that is not exercisable at the time the Participant ceases to provide Service shall immediately terminate as of such date.

 

(c)           In the event that the Participant’s status changes from employee of the Company or an Affiliate to director or consultant of the Company or an Affiliate, this Option shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Option on the day three (3) months and one (1) day following such change in status.

4.             Exercise Procedures .

 

(a)           Subject to the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 above, the Participant may exercise part or all of the exercisable portion of the Option by delivering to the Company written notice of intent to exercise in the manner provided in this Agreement, specifying the number of shares of Stock as to which the Option is to be exercised and the method of payment.  Payment of the exercise price shall be made in accordance with procedures established by the Committee from time to time based on the type of payment being made but, in any event, prior to issuance of the shares of Stock.  The Participant shall pay the exercise price (i) in cash, by check or cash equivalent; (ii) by tender to the Company of shares of Stock owned by the Participant having a Market Value (as defined in the Plan
