SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 2006
STOCK PLAN
STOCK OPTION
AGREEMENT
This STOCK
OPTION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of the
14th day of July, 2009 is made by and between THORIUM POWER, LTD.,
a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), and SETH GRAE
(the “Optionee,” which term as used herein shall be
deemed to include any successor to the Optionee by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution, unless the context shall
otherwise require).
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to the
Corporation’s Second Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Plan
(the “Plan”), the Corporation, acting through the
Committee of the Board of Directors (if a committee has been formed
to administer the Plan) or its entire Board of Directors (if no
such committee has been formed) responsible for administering the
Plan (in either case, referred to herein as the
“Committee”), approved the issuance to the Optionee,
effective as of the date set forth above, of a stock option to
purchase shares of Common Stock of the Corporation at the price
(the “Option Price”) set forth in the attached Notice
of Grant (which is expressly incorporated herein and made a part
hereof, the “Notice of Grant”), upon the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW,
THEREFORE , in
consideration of the mutual premises and undertakings hereinafter
set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.
Option; Option Price . On behalf of the
Corporation, the Committee hereby grants to the Optionee the option
(the “Option”) to purchase, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the Plan (which is incorporated by
reference herein and which in all cases shall control in the event
of any conflict with the terms, definitions and provisions of this
Agreement), that number of shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation set forth in the Notice of Grant, at an exercise price
per share equal to the Option Price as is set forth in the Notice
of Grant (the “Optioned Shares”). If
designated in the Notice of Grant as an “incentive stock
option,” the Option is intended to qualify for Federal income
tax purposes as an “incentive stock option” within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Code. A copy of the Plan
as in effect on the date hereof has been supplied to the Optionee,
and the Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt thereof.
2.
Term . The term (the “Option
Term”) of the Option shall commence on the date of this
Agreement and shall expire on the Expiration Date set forth in the
Notice of Grant unless such Option shall theretofore have been
terminated in accordance with the terms of the Notice of Grant,
this Agreement or of the Plan.
(a) Unless
accelerated in the discretion of the Committee or as otherwise
provided herein, the Option shall become exercisable during its
term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice
of Grant. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 8
hereof, shares as to which the Option becomes exercisable pursuant
to the foregoing provisions may be purchased at any time thereafter
prior to the expiration or termination of the Option.
(b) Anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the
extent the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, the
Option shall not be exercisable as an Incentive Stock Option, and
shall be treated as a Non-Statutory Option, to the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value on the date hereof of all stock with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the
first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under the Plan
and all other plans of the Corporation, its parent and its
subsidiaries, if any) exceeds $100,000.
4.
Termination of Option .
(a)
The Optionee may exercise the Option (but only to the extent the
Option was exercisable at the time of termination of the
Optionee’s consulting agreement with the Corporation, its
parent or any of its subsidiaries) at any time within three (3)
months following the termination of the Optionee’s business
relationship with the Corporation, its parent or any of its
subsidiaries, but not later than the scheduled expiration
date. If the termination of the Optionee’s
employment is for cause or is otherwise attributable to a breach by
the Optionee of an employment, non-competition, non-disclosure or
other material agreement, the Option shall expire immediately upon
such termination. If the Optionee is a natural person
who dies while in a business relationship with the Corporation, its
parent or any of its subsidiaries, this option may be exercised, to
the extent of the number of shares with respect to which the
Optionee could have exercised it on the date of his death, by his
estate, personal representative or beneficiary to whom this option
has been assigned pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan, at any time
within the twelve (12) month period following the date of
death. If the Optionee is a natural person whose
business relationship with the Corporation, its parent or any of
its subsidiaries is terminated by reason of his disability, this
Option may be exercised, to the extent of the number of shares with
respect to which the Optionee could have exercised it on the date
the business relationship was terminated, at any time within the
twelve (12) month period following the date of such termination,
but not later than the scheduled expiration date. At the
expiration of such three (3) or twelve (12) month period or the
scheduled expiration date, whichever is the earlier, this Option
shall terminate and the only rights hereunder shall be those as to
which the Option was properly exercised before such
termination.
(b) Anything
contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Option shall
not be affected by any change of duties or position of the Optionee
(including a transfer to or from the Corporation, its parent or any
of its subsidiaries) so long as the Optionee continues in a
business relationship with the Corporation, its parent or any of
its subsidiaries.
5.
Procedure for Exercise .
(a) The
Option may be exercised, from time to time, in whole or in part
(but for the purchase of whole shares only), by delivery of a
written notice in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the
“Notice”) from the Optionee to the Secretary of the
Corporation, which Notice shall:
(i) state
that the Optionee elects to exercise the Option;
(ii) state
the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being
exercised (the “Optioned Shares”);
(iii) state
the method of payment for the Optioned Shares pursuant to Section
5(b);
(iv) state
the date upon which the Optionee desires to consummate the purchase
of the Optioned Shares (which date must be prior to the termination
of such Option and no later than 30 days from the delivery of such
Notice);
(v)
include any representations of the Optionee
required under Section 8(b);
(vi) if
the Option shall be exercised in accordance with Section 9 of the
Plan by any person other than the Optionee, include evidence to the
satisfaction of the Committee of the right of such person to
exercise the Option; and
(b) Payment
of the Option Price for the Optioned Shares shall be made either
(i) by delivery of cash or a check to the order of the Corporation
in an amount equal to the Option Price, (ii) if approved by the
Committee, by delivery to the Corporation of shares of Common Stock
of the Corporation having a Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise equal in amount to the Option Price of the options being
exercised, (iii) by any other means which the Board of Directors
determines are consistent with the purpose of the Plan and with
applicable laws and regulations (including, without limitation, the
provisions of Rule 16b-3 and Regulation T promulgated by the
Federal Reserve Board), or (iv) by any combination of such methods
of payment. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to
the contrary, if the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock
of the Corporation is greater than the Option Price (at the date of
calculation as set forth below), in lieu of paying the Option Price
in cash, the Optionee may elect to receive shares equal to the
value (as determined below) of the Optioned Shares by delivering
notice of such election to the Corporation in which event the
Corporation shall issue to the Optionee a number of shares of
Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X =
Y(A-B)
|
|
A
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
X
=
|
the number
of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Optionee
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Y
=
|
the number
of Optioned Shares
|
|
|
A
=
|
the Fair
Market Value of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such
calculation)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
B
=
|
Option Price
(as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
|
(c) The
Corporation shall issue a stock certificate in the name of the
Optionee (or such other person exercising the Option in accordance
with the provisions of Section 9 of the Plan) for the Optioned
Shares as soon as practicable after receipt of the Notice and
payment of the aggregate Option Price for such shares.
6.
No Rights as a Stockholder . The Optionee
shall not have any privileges of a stockholder of the Corporation
with respect to any Optioned Shares until the date of issuance of a
stock certificate pursuant to Section 5(c).
7.
Adjustments . The Plan contains provisions
covering the treatment of options in a number of contingencies such
as stock splits and mergers. Provisions in the Plan for
adjustment with respect to stock subject to options and the related
provisions with respect to successors to the business of the
Corporation are hereby made applicable hereunder and are
incorporated herein by reference. In general, the
Optionee should not assume that options would survive the
acquisition of the Corporation.
8.
Additional Provisions Related to Exercise
.
(a) The
Option shall be exercisable only on such date or dates and during
such period
