TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK OPTION GRANT
1. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the Employee named in the Notice of Grant attached as Part I of this Award Agreement (the “Participant”) 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 all of the terms and conditions in this Award Agreement and the Sub-Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 19(c) of the Sub-Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Sub-Plan and the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Sub-Plan will prevail.
2. Vesting Schedule. Except as provided in Section 3, the Option awarded by this Award Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant. Shares scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in Participant in accordance with any of the provisions of this Award Agreement, unless Participant will have been continuously a Service Provider from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs.
3. Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Option at any time, subject to the terms of the Sub-Plan. If so accelerated, such Option will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator.
4. Exercise of Option.
(a) Right to Exercise. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Sub-Plan and the terms of this Award Agreement.
(b) Method of Exercise. This Option is exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice, in the form attached as Exhibit B (the “Exercise Notice”) or in a manner and pursuant to such procedures as the Administrator may determine, which will state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Sub-Plan. The Exercise Notice will be completed by Participant and delivered to the Company. The Exercise Notice will be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, the Secondary NIC Liability and the Option Tax Liability (each, as defined below) as to all Exercised Shares together with any other applicable tax withholding. This Option will be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by such aggregate Exercise Price, the Secondary NIC Liability and the Option Tax Liability.
(c) Joint Election. As a condition of this Option, Participant agrees to accept any liability for Secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions (“Secondary NIC Liability”) which may be payable by the Company or Participant’s employer with respect to the grant or exercise of the Option. To accomplish the foregoing, Participant agrees to execute and deliver to the Company (before exercising the Option), a joint election between the Company and/or Participant’s employer and Participant (the “Joint Election”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (or such other form as requested by the Administrator) and Participant agrees to execute such further consents or elections as may be required between Participant and any successor to the Company and/or Participant’s employer. If Participant does not enter into a Joint Election (or otherwise indemnify the Company and the Participant’s employer for the Secondary NIC Liability), or if the Joint Election is revoked at any time by HM Revenue & Customs, the Option shall become null and void without any liability to the Company and/or the Participant’s employer, may not be exercised and shall lapse with immediate effect.
5. Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price will be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of Participant.
(a) cash;
(b) cheque;
(c) consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless exercise program adopted by the Company in connection with the Sub-Plan; or
(d) surrender of other Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares, provided that accepting such Shares, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, will not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company.
6. Tax Obligations.
(a) Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, no certificate representing the Shares will be issued to Participant, unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) will have been made by Participant with respect to the payment of income, employment and other taxes which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to such Shares, including (without limitation) the Secondary NIC Liability and the Option Tax Liability in accordance with Sections 4(c) and 6(b) of this Option Agreement. To the extent determined appropriate by the Company in its discretion, it will have the right (but not the obligation) to satisfy any tax withholding obligations by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant. If Participant fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any required tax withholding obligations hereunder at the time of the Option exercise, Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.
(b) Participant’s Taxation Indemnity.
(i) Indemnity. To the extent permitted by law, Participant hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company, and the Company as trustee for and on behalf of any related corporation, in respect of any liability or obligation of the Company and/or any related corporation to account for income tax (under PAYE) or any other taxation provisions and primary class 1 NICs in the United Kingdom (the “Option Tax Liability”) to the extent arising from the grant, exercise, assignment, release, cancellation or any other disposal of an Option or arising out of the acquisition, retention and disposal of the Shares acquired pursuant to this Option.
(ii) No Obligation to Issue Shares. The Company shall not be obliged to allot and issue any Shares or any interest in Shares pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless and until Participant has paid to the Company such sum as is, in the opinion of the Company, sufficient to indemnify the Company in full against the Option Tax Liability, or Participant has made such other arrangement as in the opinion of the Company will ensure that the full amount of any Option Tax Liability will be recovered from Participant within such period as the Company may then determine.
(iii) Right of Retention. The Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to retain out of the aggregate number of Shares to which Participant would have otherwise been entitled upon the exercise of this Option, such number of Shares as, in the opinion of the Company, will enable the Company to sell such Shares as agent for Participant (at the best price which can be reasonably expected to be obtained at the time of the sale) and to pay over to the Company sufficient monies out of the net proceeds of sale, after deduction of all fees, commissions and expenses incurred in relation to such sale, to satisfy Participant’s liability under the indemnity at Section 6(b)(i) and to return any balance of sale proceeds to Participant (after deduction of all fees, commissions and expenses incurred in relation to such sale).
(c) The Participant hereby appoints the Company (acting by any of its directors from time to time) as the Participant’s agent and attorney to:
(i) sell the Participant’s Shares in accordance with Section 6(b)(iii) and deal with the proceeds of that sale in accordance with Section 6(b)(iii); and
(ii) execute any Joint Election required to be entered into under Section 4(c) in the Participant’s name and on the Participant’s behalf.
The Company may appoint one or more persons to act as substitute agent(s) and attorney(s) for the Participant and to exercise one or more of the powers conferred on the Company by the power of attorney set out in this Section 6(c), other than the power to appoint a substitute attorney.
The Company may subsequently revoke any such appointment.
The power of attorney set out in this Section 6(c) shall be irrevocable, save with the consent of the Company, and is given by way of security to secure the interest of the Company (for itself and as trustee under this Option on behalf of any employer or former employer of the Participant) as a person liable to account for or pay any Option Tax Liability or Secondary NIC Liability.
The Participant declares that a person who deals in good faith with the Company or any substitute attorney as the Participant’s attorney appointed under this Section 6(c) may accept a written statement signed by that person to the effect that this power of attorney has not been revoked as conclusive evidence of that fact.
(d) Code Section 409A. To the extent Participant is or becomes subject to U.S. Federal income taxation, this subsection (d) shall apply. Under Code Section 409A, an option that vests after December 31, 2004 (or that vested on or prior to such date but which was materially modified after October 3, 2004) that was granted with a per Share exercise price that is determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) to be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant (a “Discount Option”) may be considered “deferred compensation.” A Discount Option may result in (i) income recognition by Participant prior to the exercise of the option, (ii) an additional twenty percent (20%) federal income tax, and (iii) potential penalty and interest charges. The Discount Option may also result in additional state income, penalty and interest charges to the Participant. Participant acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not guaranteed that the IRS will agree that the per Share exercise price of this Option equals or exceeds the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant in a later examination. Participant agrees that if the IRS determines that the Option was granted with a per Share exercise price that was less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, Participant will be solely responsible for Participant’s costs related to such a determination.
7. Rights as Stockholder. Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant. After such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.
8. No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THE OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AWARD AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

(e) The Sub-Plan will not be deemed to constitute, and will not be construed by Participant to constitute, part of the terms and conditions of employment, and neither the Company or the Participant’s employer will incur any liability of any kind to Participant as a result of any change or amendment, or any cancellation, of the Sub-Plan at any time.
