OPTION TERMS
1. | Grant of Option. |
(a) | The Option is subject to the terms of the Plan. The terms of the Plan are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference. |
(b) | You must accept the terms of this Agreement within 10 business days after the Agreement is presented to you for review by returning a signed copy of this Agreement to the Company in accordance with such procedures as the Company may establish. You may not exercise any portion of the Option before you have accepted the terms of this Agreement. The Committee may unilaterally cancel and forfeit all or a portion of the Option if you do not timely accept the terms of this Agreement. |
(c) | If designated above as an Incentive Stock Option, the Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option. To the extent the Option fails to meet the requirements of an Incentive Stock Option or is not designated as an Incentive Stock Option, the Option will be a Nonstatutory Stock Option. |
2. | Exercise of Option. |
(a) | Right to Exercise. The Option will be exercisable in accordance with the terms provided in the table above, and all the rest of the terms of this Agreement. The Option, to the extent exercisable, may be exercised in whole or in part. The Option may not be exercised after it expires. No Shares will be issued upon the exercise of the Option unless the issuance and exercise comply with all Applicable Laws. For income tax purposes, Shares will be considered transferred to you on the date you properly exercise the Option. Until you have properly exercised the Option and Shares have been delivered, you will not have any rights as a Stockholder for those Shares. |
(b) | Method of Exercise and Payment. You may exercise the Option by delivering an exercise notice in a form approved by the Company (the “Exercise Notice”). The Exercise Notice must state your election to exercise the Option, the number of Option Shares that are being purchased, and any other representations and agreements that may be required by the Company. Together with the Exercise Notice, you must tender payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for all Shares exercised and all applicable withholding and other taxes. The Option will be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of a fully executed Exercise Notice and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price and all applicable withholding and other taxes. |
3. | Method of Payment. If you elect to exercise the Option, you must pay the aggregate Exercise Price, as well as any applicable withholding or other taxes, in accordance with any of the payment methods set forth in Section 6.4(d) of the Plan (or any successor sections). |
4. | Restrictions on Exercise. |
(a) | You may not exercise the Option (i) if it is an Incentive Stock Option and the Plan has not been approved by the Stockholders or (ii) if the issuance of Shares upon exercise or the method of payment for those Shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Law or Company policy. |
(b) | Any issuance of Shares under the Option may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law. |
(c) | If a certificate for Shares is delivered to you under the Option, the certificate may bear the following or a similar legend as determined by the Company: |
The ownership and transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms (including forfeiture) of the Oak Street Health, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan and an option award agreement entered into between the registered owner and Oak Street Health, Inc. Copies of such plan and agreement are on file in the executive offices of Oak Street Health, Inc.
In addition, any stock certificates for Shares will be subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Company may deem advisable under Applicable Law, and the Company may

The Company (a) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items and (b) does not commit to structure the terms of the Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items. You will be required to meet any applicable tax withholding obligation in accordance with the tax withholding terms of Section 13.5 of the Plan (and any successor terms). The Option is intended to be exempt from Section 409A, and this Agreement will be administered and interpreted consistently with that intent and with the terms of Section 13.16 of the Plan (and any successor terms). If you make any disposition of Shares delivered under an Incentive Stock Option under the circumstances described in Code Section 421(b) (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions), you must notify the Company of that disposition within 10 days. |
