Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Option or upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such Option or to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall have expired or terminated, the Exercise Price then in effect will be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination (other than in respect of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued.
Stock Option Grants Pursuant to the following terms and conditions, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in Holdings’ stock option plan and Holdings agrees as follows:
i. Holdings shall establish a stock option plan (“Stock Option Plan”) providing for grants of options (the “Stock Options”) to purchase the common stock of BD Investment Holdings Inc., par value $0.01 (the “Buyer Common Stock”) in amounts not less than (i) 2% of the Buyer Common Stock (on a fully-diluted post-exercise basis) in the aggregate per year for all executives, employees and financial advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Executive selected by the Board after consultation with, and based on the recommendation of, the CEO, for the calendar years beginning on January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009 and (ii) 2.5% of the Buyer Common Stock (on a fully-diluted post-exercise basis) in the aggregate per year for all executives, employees and financial advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Executive, selected by the Board after consultation with, and based on the recommendation of, the CEO, for the calendar years beginning on January 1, 2010 and January 1, 2011.
ii. Beginning in January 2008, each annual Stock Option grant shall be made between the first and fifteenth business day of the year, unless the CEO, in his sole discretion, shall agree with the Board to a later date during such year (the “Default Date”). If the Board does not approve Stock Option grants in the amounts set forth in Section 4(c)(i) by the Default Date, then Stock Options in such amounts shall be granted pro-rata to existing option holders and employee stockholders as of such date of grant, except that the CEO’s share of such Stock Option grants shall be reduced by 75% and the other four most highly compensated executives’ share of such Stock Option grants shall be reduced by 50%.
iii. The per share exercise price of each Stock Option shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Buyer Common Stock on the date of grant. Each Stock Option granted shall vest in five equal tranches on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant subject to the option holder’s continued employment as of each such vesting date; provided, however, that all Stock Options shall automatically vest in full upon a “change in control” (as defined in the Option Plan, it being understood that an IPO shall in no event constitute a change in control). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, following an IPO, no additional Stock Options shall be granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan.
iv. Upon termination of his employment, the portion of any Stock Option granted to the Executive which has not yet vested shall terminate. In the event the Executive’s employment terminates for any reason other than for Cause, the Executive may exercise any vested portion of any Stock Option held by him on the date of termination provided that he does so prior to the earlier of (A) ninety (90) days following termination of employment and (B) the expiration of the scheduled term of the Stock Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive’s employment is terminated due to death or disability (as defined in Section 5(b)), then the Executive or, as applicable in the event of death, his beneficiary or estate, may exercise any vested portion of any Stock Option held by the Executive on the date employment terminates for the shorter of (A) the period of twelve (12) months following the termination date and, (B) with respect to each Stock Option individually, the expiration of the scheduled term of such Stock Option. Upon a termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company for Cause, all Stock Options shall be forfeited immediately.
v. Holdings, the Company and the Executive agree to cooperate to structure the Stock Option Plan so as to minimize or avoid additional taxes and interest that would otherwise be imposed on the Executive with respect to options granted under the Stock Option Plan pursuant to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code as amended (the “Code”); provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to grant the Executive a “gross-up” or other “make-whole” compensation for such purpose.

NOTICE OF STOCK OPTION GRANT Name: Address:
Stock Option Grant Subject to the provisions set forth herein and the terms and conditions of the Plan, and in consideration of the agreements of the Participant herein provided, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an Option to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock, at the exercise price per share, and on the schedule, set forth above.
Xxxxx of Option The Plan Administrator of the Company hereby grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Grant attached as Part I of this Agreement (the "Optionee") an option (the "Option") to purchase the number of Shares, as set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the "Exercise Price"), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. 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").
Additional Terms Applicable to an Incentive Option In the event this option is designated an Incentive Option in the Grant Notice, the following terms and conditions shall also apply to the grant:
(i) This option shall cease to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Option if (and to the extent) this option is exercised for one or more Option Shares: (A) more than three (3) months after the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or Permanent Disability or (B) more than twelve (12) months after the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee by reason of Permanent Disability.
(ii) No installment under this option shall qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Option if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for which such installment first becomes exercisable hereunder would, when added to the aggregate value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of the Common Stock or other securities for which this option or any other Incentive Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should such One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation be exceeded in any calendar year, this option shall nevertheless become exercisable for the excess shares in such calendar year as a Non-Statutory Option.
(iii) Should the exercisability of this option be accelerated upon a Change in Control, then this option shall qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Option only to the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for which this option first becomes exercisable in the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs does not, when added to the aggregate value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of the Common Stock or other securities for which this option or one or more other Incentive Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation be exceeded in the calendar year of such Change in Control, the option may nevertheless be exercised for the excess shares in such calendar year as a Non-Statutory Option.
(iv) Should Optionee hold, in addition to this option, one or more other options to purchase Common Stock which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year as this option, then the foregoing limitations on the exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such options are granted.
