Notice of Grant of Stock Option and
Terms and Conditions of Employee Stock Option

 

Grantee: Neil Dial

 

Plan:

 

2004

 

Effective September 29, 2008 (the “Award Date”), you (the “Grantee”) have been granted a nonqualified stock option (the “Option”) to buy 250,000 shares of Common Stock of Power-One, Inc. (the “Corporation”) at a price of $1.23 per share (the “Exercise Price”).

 

The aggregate Exercise Price of the shares subject to the Option is $307,500.00

 

The Option will become vested as to 100% of the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option on September 29, 2012 (i.e. the fourth anniversary of the Award Date).  The Option will vest earlier pursuant to the following terms and circumstances:

 

·                   Target Price #1-  this target is reached when the average closing price of Power-One Common Stock (measured during a period of any 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days that occur at any time starting 90 days before the first anniversary of the Award Date) is equal to or greater than 175% of the Exercise Price of the option.

 

·                   Target Price #2-  this target is reached when the average closing price of Power-One Common Stock (measured during a period of any 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days that occur at any time starting 90 days before the second anniversary of the Award Date) is equal to or greater than 275% of the Exercise Price of the option.

 

·                   First Accelerated Vesting Date -  this vesting will occur seven days after Target Price #1 has been reached, except that in no event will this vesting be effective prior to the first anniversary of the Award Date.   At this First Accelerated Vesting, the option vests for 50% of the total options granted.

 

·                   Second Accelerated Vesting Date -  this vesting will occur seven days after Target Price #2 has been reached, except that in no event will this vesting be effective prior to the second anniversary of the Award Date.  At this Second Accelerated Vesting, the option vests for 50% of the total options granted.

 

·                   Once a given Target Price (#1 and #2) is first reached, the vesting acceleration will occur on the applicable Accelerated Vesting Date noted.  Once vesting has occurred after reaching the applicable Target Price and Accelerated Vesting Date, subsequent changes in the Corporation’s stock price will not change the vested status of the options.

 

The Grantee is also a party to the Corporation’s applicable Change in Control Agreement, which provides for accelerated vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option under the circumstances provided therein.

 

The Option will expire on the tenth anniversary of the Award Date (the “Expiration Date”).

 

In all cases, the Option is subject to early termination under Section 5 of the Terms (as defined below and attached hereto) and Section 7.4 of the Plan (as defined below).  The Option and applicable performance targets are subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Plan.

 

By your signature and the Corporation’s signature below, you and the Corporation agree that the Option is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Corporation’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and the Terms and Conditions of Employee Nonqualified Stock Option (the “Terms”), which are attached and incorporated herein by this reference.  This Notice of Grant of Stock Option, together with the Terms, will be referred to as your Option Agreement.  The Option has been granted to you in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other form of compensation otherwise payable or to be paid to you.  Capitalized terms are defined in the Plan if not defined herein or in the Terms.  You acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Terms, the Plan and the Prospectus for the Plan.
