unvested.
7. Responsibility for
Taxes . Regardless of any action the Company or your
employer (the “ Employer ”) takes with
respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax,
payment on account or other tax-related items related to your
participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“
Tax-Related Items ”), you acknowledge that the
ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your
responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the
Company or the Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company
and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or
undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in
connection with any aspect of the Options, including, but not
limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Options, the
issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Options, the subsequent
sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt
of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no
obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the
Options to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items
or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you have become
subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of
grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, you acknowledge
that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as
applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related
Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax
withholding event, as applicable, you will pay or make adequate
arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to
satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize the
Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their
discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all
Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the
following:
|
|
(a)
|
withholding
from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the
Company and/or the Employer; or
|
|
|
(b)
|
withholding
from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon exercise of the
Options either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale
arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this
authorization); or
|
|
|
(c)
|
withholding in
Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Options; or
|
|
|
(d)
|
requires
payment in cash, check or wire transfer of the Tax-Related Items at
the time of exercise.
|
To avoid negative accounting
treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related
Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding
amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation
for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for
tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of
Shares subject to the exercise, notwithstanding that a number of
the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the
Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of your
participation in the Plan.
4
Finally, you shall pay to the
Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the
Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for
as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be
satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse
to honor the exercise or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the
sale of Shares, if you fail to comply with your obligations in
connection with the Tax-Related Items.
8. Other Terms and
Conditions .

is further subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan. Only
certain provisions of the Plan are described in these Terms and
Conditions. As a condition to your receipt and exercise of the

(b) Stockholder Rights .
Until the Shares are issued upon exercise, you have no right to
vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder with
respect to the Options.
(c) Employment Relationship .
Nothing in the Agreement shall confer on you any right to continue
in the employ of your Employer, nor shall interfere with or
restrict rights of your Employer, which are hereby expressly
reserved, to discharge you at any time, with or without cause
provided in compliance with applicable local laws.
(d) Change of Control . If
your employment is terminated by your Employer for any reason other
than for Misconduct or, if applicable, by you as a result of a
Constructive Termination, within one year after a Change of
Control, then the Options shall become fully vested upon the date
of termination.
(e) Declination of Options .
If you wish to decline your Options, you must complete and file the
Declination of Grant form with Corporate Compensation and Benefits
by the deadline for such declination. Your declination is
non-revocable, and you will not receive any other benefits or
compensation as replacement for the declined Options.

(a) the Plan is established
voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it
may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at
any time;
(b) the grant of the Options is
voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or

the past;
(c) all decisions with respect to
future Option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the
Company;

scope of your employment contract, if any;
(g) the Options and the Shares
subject to the Options are not intended to replace any pension
rights or compensation;
(h) the Options and the Shares
subject to the Options are not part of normal or expected
compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited
to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination,
redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or
similar payments and in no event should be considered as
compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the
Company, the Employer, its Parent, or any Subsidiary or Affiliate
of the Company;
(i) the Option grant and your
participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an
employment contract or relationship with the Company, its Parent or

underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with
certainty;

increase in value, the Options will have no value;

increase or decrease in value, even below the Exercise
Price;
(m) in consideration of the grant of
the Options, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages
shall arise from forfeiture of the Options resulting from
termination of your employment with the Company or the Employer
(for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of
applicable local laws) and you irrevocably release the Company and
the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court
of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, you shall be deemed
irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such
claim;
(n) in the event of termination of
your employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws),
your right to vest in the Options under the Plan, if any, will
terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively
employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated
under applicable local laws ( e.g ., active employment would
not include a period of “garden leave” or similar
period pursuant to applicable local laws); the Administrator shall
have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer
actively employed for purposes of your Options; and
(o) the Options and the benefits
under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to another
company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of
liability.
