Grant of Non-Qualified Options The Company hereby irrevocably grants to the Optionee, as a matter of separate agreement and not in lieu of salary or other compensation for services, the right and option to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of [●] shares of authorized but unissued or treasury common stock of the Company (the “Options”) on the terms and conditions herein set forth. The Common Stock shall be unregistered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), unless the Company voluntarily files a registration statement covering such shares of Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Options are not intended to be Incentive Stock Options as defined by Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This Agreement replaces any stock option agreement or offer letter previously provided to the Optionee, if any, with respect to the Options.
Procedures to Exercise the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right (a) To exercise its Fundamental Change Repurchase Right for a Bond following a Fundamental Change, the Holder thereof must deliver to the Company:
Redemption for Taxation Reasons If as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws or treaties (or any rules or regulations thereunder) of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, or any amendment to or change in an official interpretation, administration or application of such laws, treaties, rules or regulations (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment or change in official position becomes effective on or after the issue date of the Securities or on or, with respect to a successor, after the date a successor assumes the obligations under the Securities, the Issuer or the Company or the successor have or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as described under Section 4.13 of the Indenture in excess of the Additional Amounts that the Issuer or the Company would be obligated to pay if payments were subject to withholding or deduction at a rate of 15.0% (or at a rate of 25.0% in case the holder of the Securities is resident in a tax haven jurisdiction, i.e., countries which do not impose any income tax or which impose it at a maximum rate lower than 20.0%, or where the laws impose restrictions on the disclosure of ownership composition or securities ownership) as a result of the taxes, duties, assessments and other governmental charges described above (the “Minimum Withholding Level”), the Issuer may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the Securities, at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of their principal amount, together with interest and Additional Amounts accrued to the date fixed for redemption, upon publication of irrevocable notice not less than 30 days nor more than 90 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. No notice of such redemption may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would, but for such redemption, be obligated to pay the Additional Amounts above the Minimum Withholding Level, were a payment then due. The Issuer shall not have the right to so redeem the Securities in the event it becomes obliged to pay Additional Amounts which are less than the Additional Amounts payable at the Minimum Withholding Level. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not have the right to so redeem the Securities unless: (i) it has taken measures it considers reasonable to avoid the obligation to pay Additional Amounts; and (ii) it has complied with all applicable regulations to legally effect such redemption; provided, however, that for this purpose reasonable measures shall not include any change in the Issuer’s, the Company’s or any successor’s jurisdiction of incorporation or organization or location of its principal executive or registered office. In the event that the Issuer elects to so redeem the Securities, it shall deliver to the Trustee: (i) a certificate, signed in the name of the Issuer by two of its directors or by its attorney-in-fact in accordance with its articles of association, stating that the Issuer is entitled to redeem the Securities pursuant to their terms and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the condition or conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred or been satisfied; and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel (as provided for in the Indenture) to the effect that the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts in excess of the Additional Amounts payable at the Minimum Withholding Level as a result of the change or amendment, and that all governmental approvals necessary for the Issuer to effect the redemption have been obtained and are in full force and effect.
Stock Option Exercise Agreement To exercise this Option, Participant (or in the case of exercise after Participant’s death or incapacity, Participant’s executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) must deliver to the Company an executed stock option exercise agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, or in such other form as may be approved by the Committee from time to time (the “Exercise Agreement”), which shall set forth, inter alia, (i) Participant’s election to exercise the Option, (ii) the number of Shares being purchased, (iii) any restrictions imposed on the Shares and (iv) any representations, warranties and agreements regarding Participant’s investment intent and access to information as may be required by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws. If someone other than Participant exercises the Option, then such person must submit documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company verifying that such person has the legal right to exercise the Option and such person shall be subject to all of the restrictions contained herein as if such person were the Participant.

The Company shall provide to the Warrant Agent and each Holder prompt written notice of any time that the Company is unable to deliver the Warrant Shares via DTC transfer or otherwise without restrictive legend because (A) the Commission has issued a stop order with respect to the Registration Statement, (B) the Commission otherwise has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, (C) the Company has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, (D) the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement is not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder or (E) otherwise (each a “Restrictive Legend Event”).

This Option shall not be exercisable, unless and until the Optionor and Optionee have negotiated and executed a stock purchase agreement relating to the purchase of the Option Shares of the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of this Option containing such representations and warranties of the parties as are characteristic of similar stock purchase transactions.
