Subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option ("ISO"), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code. However, if this Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d) it shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option ("NSO").
Terms of Option The Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable from time to time by the Optionee by the giving of written notice of exercise to the Company in advance of an exercise date hereinafter set forth, specifying the number of shares to be purchased, and by payment of the purchase price therefore by either (i) cash or certified or cashier's bank check to the order of the Company, or (ii) shares of stock of the Company having a fair market value equal to the purchase price on the exercise date, subject, however, to the following restrictions: (a) The Option shall be exercisable within a ten (10) year period beginning on the Granting Date and only in the following maximum amounts: (i) none until the expiration of one (1) year from Granting Date (the waiting period); (ii) 25% of all shares after one (1) year from Granting Date; (iii) 50% of all shares after two (2) years from Granting Date; (iv) 75% of all shares after three (3) years from Granting Date; (v) 100% of all shares after four (4) years from Granting Date. This Option shall expire ten (10) years after the Granting Date. To the extent that the Optionee does not purchase part or all of the shares of Common Stock to which he is entitled, this Option shall expire as to such unpurchased shares. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of paragraph 3 of this Agreement, in the event the Company shall not be the surviving corporation in any merger, consolidation, or reorganization, or in the event of the acquisition by another corporation of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and if such surviving, continuing, successor or purchasing corporation does not agree to assume or replace the Option granted hereunder in accordance with paragraph 8 of this Agreement, or in the event of the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Option granted hereunder shall become immediately exercisable to the extent of all of the aggregate number of shares subject to this Option for a period commencing thirty (30) days immediately prior to and ending on the day immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, reorganization or acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company. (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of paragraph 3 of this Agreement, in the event of a Change of Control of the Company, the Option granted hereunder shall become immediately exercisable to the extent of all of the aggregate number of shares subject to this Option. In the event of a Change of Control, the Company shall notify the Optionee as soon as practicable of the Optionee's rights hereunder. For purposes of this subparagraph (c), a "Change of Control" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2.7 of the Plan. (d) The Option shall be exercisable in the manner set forth above, during the lifetime of the Optionee only by him or her and may not be exercisable by Optionee unless at the time of exercise he or she is a full-time employee or Consultant of the Company or of one of its subsidiary corporations and shall have been continuously so employed or engaged as a Consultant since the Granting Date, or, if the Optionee's employment and/or engagement with the Company or any of its subsidiary corporations shall have terminated the Option shall be exercisable only if exercised prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date of such termination or prior to ten (10) years after the Granting Date, whichever shall first occur, and (except as otherwise provided by subparagraph (b) and subparagraph (c) of this paragraph 3) only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option prior to the date of such termination. (e) The Option shall be exercisable after the death of the Optionee only if the Optionee shall at the time of his or her death have been an employee and/or a Consultant of the Company and shall have been continuously employed and/or engaged as a Consultant since the Granting Date, and then (i) only by or on behalf of such person or persons to whom the Optionee's rights under the Option shall have been passed by the Optionee's will or by the laws of descent and distribution, (ii) (except as otherwise provided by subparagraph (b) and subparagraph (c) of this paragraph 3) only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise said Option prior to the date of his or her death, and (iii) only if said Option is exercised prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date of the Optionee's death or prior to ten (10) years after the Granting Date, whichever shall first occur. (f) In the event the job classification and/or duties of the Optionee shall be changed and such change shall, in the opinion of the Compensation Committee, reflect a lower job classification and/or a reduction in responsibility or duties of the Optionee, the Company shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Optionee, within ninety (90) days after such notice, to terminate this Option as to any and all unpurchased shares.
