W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Corporation desires, in connection
with the [employment/ consulting/directorship] of the Optionee and
in accordance with its Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan (the
“ Plan ”), to provide the Optionee with an
opportunity to acquire common stock, $.001 par value (hereinafter
referred to as “ Common Stock ”), of the
Corporation on favorable terms and thereby increase his proprietary
interest in the continued progress and success of the business of
the Corporation;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
premises, the mutual covenants herein set forth and other good and
valuable consideration, the Corporation and the Optionee hereby
agree as follows:
1.
Grant of Subject
Option . Pursuant to a
determination by the Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation authorized to administer the Plan made effective as of
[DATE] (the “ Date of Grant ”), the
Corporation, subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement,
hereby grants to the Optionee as a matter of separate inducement
and agreement, and in addition to and not in lieu of salary or
other compensation for services, the right to purchase (hereinafter
referred to as the “ Subject Option ”) an
aggregate of [NUMBER] shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 8 hereof (such shares, as adjusted, shall
hereinafter be referred to as the “ Shares ”).
The Subject Option is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock
option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “ Code ”). The Subject Option is
subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan (including
certain repurchase rights in favor of the Corporation) and in the
event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Plan, the
provisions of the Plan shall prevail. Optionee hereby acknowledges
receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all terms
and provisions thereof. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein but defined in the Plan shall have the same meaning
herein.
2.
Purchase Price
. The purchase price of shares of
Common Stock covered by the Subject Option will be $[PRICE] per
share, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8
hereof.
3.
Exercise of Subject
Option . The Subject
Option shall be exercisable on the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth:
(a)
The Subject Option shall become
exercisable cumulatively as to the following percentages of the
number of Shares originally subject thereto (after giving effect
to
any adjustment
pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan). There will be no vesting of the
Subject Option until the anniversary date indicated:
|
|
|
25% of Shares
on or after one year from the Date of Grant;
|
|
|
|
50% of Shares
on or after two years from the Date of Grant;
|
|
|
|
75% of Shares
on or after three years from the Date of Grant; and
|
|
|
|
100% of Shares
on or after four years from the Date of Grant.
|
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Subject Option shall become fully exercisable
(without regard to the foregoing dates) immediately upon the
occurrence of any of the following events: a Change in Control (in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof) or the
termination by the Corporation of Optionee’s
[employment/consulting/directorship] other than for Cause (without
regard for the provisions of Section 6 hereof regarding the extent
to which a Subject Option may be exercised upon such termination).
In the case a person serving solely as a director, the forgoing
acceleration shall not occur by reason of the failure of the
Optionee to be nominated or re-elected as a director upon the
expiration of a term. A termination shall be for “
Cause ” if the Optionee:
|
|
|
shall have been
convicted of a felony;
|
|
|
|
shall have
engaged in an act or acts of personal dishonesty intended to result
in personal enrichment at the expense of the
Corporation;
|
|
|
|
shall have
engaged in gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to
the Corporation or its subsidiaries or affiliates, or has
intentionally engaged in any other conduct that is materially
injurious (or would be reasonably likely to be materially injurious
if made public) to the Corporation, monetarily or
otherwise.
|
|
|
|
shall have
committed any act involving material dishonesty or material
disloyalty with respect to the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates; or
|
|
|
|
shall have
engaged in any other malfeasance or act of moral turpitude that
inflicts material harm (or would be reasonably likely to inflict
material harm if made public) upon the reputation of the
Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates;
|
(b)
The Subject Option may be exercised
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3, by notice and payment
(including, but not limited to, a cashless exercise) to the
Corporation as provided below.
4.
Term of Subject Option
. The term of the Subject Option
shall be a period of ten (10) years from the Date of Grant. This
Subject Option, to the extent unexercised, shall expire
on the day
immediately prior to the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant.
The holder of the Subject Option shall not have any rights to
dividends or any other rights of a stockholder with respect to any
shares of Common Stock subject to the Subject Option until such
shares shall have been issued to him (as evidenced by the
appropriate entry on the books of a duly authorized transfer agent
of the Corporation) provided that the date of issuance shall not be
earlier than the date this Subject Option is exercised and
provision of the purchase price of the shares of Common Stock (with
respect to which this Subject Option is being exercised) is made to
the Corporation pursuant to the provisions contained
herein.
5.
Non transferability of Subject
Option . The Subject
Option shall not be assignable or transferable otherwise than by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or as provided in
the Plan, and the Subject Option may be exercised during the
lifetime of the Optionee only by him. More particularly, but
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Subject
Option may not be assigned, transferred (except as provided in the
next preceding sentence) or otherwise disposed of, or pledged or
hypothecated in any way, and shall not be subject to execution,
attachment or other process. Any assignment, transfer, pledge,
hypothecation or other disposition of the Subject Option attempted
contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, or any levy of
execution, attachment or other process attempted upon the Subject
Option, will be null and void and without effect. Any attempt to
make any such assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other
disposition of the Subject Option or any attempt to make any such
levy of execution, attachment or other process will cause the
Subject Option to terminate immediately upon the happening of any
such event; provided, however, that any such termination of the
Subject Option under the foregoing provisions of this Section 5
will not prejudice any rights or remedies which the Corporation or
any Parent or Subsidiary may have under this Agreement or
otherwise.
6.
Exercise Upon Cessation of
Employment .
(a)
If the Optionee at any time ceases
to be an employee, consultant, or director of the Corporation by
reason of his discharge for Cause, the Subject Option shall, at the
time of such termination, terminate and the Optionee shall forfeit
all rights hereunder. If, however, the employee, consultant, or
director for any other reason (other than permanent and total
disability or death) ceases to be such an Optionee, the Subject
Option may, subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, be
exercised by the Optionee to the same extent the Optionee would
have been entitled under Section 3 hereof to exercise the Subject
Option immediately prior to such cessation, at any time within one
(1) month after such cessation, at the end of which period the
Subject Option to the extent not then exercised, shall terminate
and the Optionee shall forfeit all rights hereunder. In no event,
however, may the Subject Option be exercised after the expiration
of the term provided in Section 4 hereof.
(b)
The Subject Option shall not be
affected by any change of duties or position of the Optionee so
long as he continues to be an Optionee of the
Corporation.

Subject Option may, subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof,
be exercised with respect to all or any part of the shares of
Common Stock as to which the deceased Optionee had not exercised
the Subject Option at the time of his death (but only to the extent
the Subject Option was exercisable at the date of his death), by
the estate of the Optionee (or by the person or persons who acquire
the right to exercise the Subject Option by written designation of
the Optionee) at any time within the period ending one (1) year
after the date of the Optionee’s death (in no event, however,
after the expiration of the term provided in Section 4 hereof), at
the end of which period the Subject Option, to the extent not then
exercised, shall terminate and the estate or other beneficiaries
shall forfeit all rights hereunder.
(b)
In the event that the employment or
consulting or directorship by the Corporation is terminated by
reason of the permanent and total disability of the Optionee on or
after the first date upon which he would have been entitled to
exercise the Subject Option under the provisions of Section 3
hereof, the Subject Option may, subject to the provisions of
Section 5 hereof, be exercised with respect to all or any part of
the shares of Common Stock as to which he had not exercised the
Subject Option at the time of his disability (but only to the
extent the Subject Option was exercisable at such time) by the
Optionee at any time within the period ending one (1) year after
the date of such termination of employment (in no event, however,
after the expiration of the term provided in Section 4 hereof), at
the end of which period the Subject Option, to the extent not then
exercised, shall terminate and the Optionee shall forfeit all
rights hereunder even if the Optionee subsequently returns to the
