RELEASABLE STOCK, as well as the RELEASE DATES, in terms of Attachment 1; |
5.3.2 | A copy of the notice sent to the TRUSTEE of the TRUST mentioned above. |
5.4 | Once effectively received such notice from the BOARD, the TRUSTEE of the TRUST, as agent of MAXCOM, shall enter into an OPTION agreement with each BENEFICIARY pursuant to the terms and conditions described in Attachment 3 hereto. | ||

9 | LOSS OF SHARES REPRESENTING THE STOCK CONSIDERED AS AN EARNED RIGHT |

In such event, the BENEFICIARY may EXERCISE the OPTION of shares representing the STOCK which he/she has obtained as an EARNED RIGHT which the period for their RELEASE has already expired within the term provided in the OPTION. The BOARD shall report this fact to the TRUSTEE of the TRUST and to the BENEFICIARY. |
9.2 | Under the following circumstances, the BENEFICIARY shall retain the right to EXERCISE the OPTION of shares representing the STOCK he/she has obtained as an EARNED RIGHT and which are pending RELEASE or EXERCISE upon the termination date of his/her services, within the period provided in the OPTIONS: |
9.2.1 | In the event that upon death of a BENEFICIARY there were shares of the STOCK pending |
RELEASE or EXERCISE pursuant to an OPTION. Only in such event shall the right to EXERCISE and subscribe the number of shares of the STOCK which such BENEFICIARY had obtained as an EARNED RIGHT on the date of his/her death shall be passed on to the testamentary or legitimate heirs. Consequently, all the shares of the STOCK regarding the OPTIONS considered as an EARNED RIGHT by the BENEFICIARY shall be RELEASED in advance in favor of the legitimate or testamentary heirs, notwithstanding the fact that the required time for their RELEASE has not elapsed. The RELEASED STOCK which had not been EXERCISED on the date of death, may be EXERCISED by the testamentary or legitimate heirs only and exclusively within the period provided for in the corresponding OPTION. The STOCK RELEASED in advance of the date of death, may be EXERCISED by the testamentary or legitimate heirs within a term of ten years following the date of death of the |
BENEFICIARY. The BENEFICIARY may appoint one person, resident in
the country, so that the BOARD may send him/her, in the event
referred to above, a confirmation of the rights enjoyed by the
heirs according to this PLAN. The BOARD shall comply with the above
by sending such confirmation via certified mail and acknowledgement
of receipt requested, or by courier service to the registered
address of the BENEFICIARY.
9.2.2 | In the event of disappearance or presumed death as provided by law, such circumstance shall be understood and interpreted as an event of death. | ||
9.2.3 | In event of permanent working disability, either due to professional or non-professional risk or illness, of a BENEFICIARY, occurred within the term of any OPTION considered as an EARNED RIGHT, or in event of regular (not advanced) retirement, according to a pensions plan |
and if the shares representing STOCK pending RELEASE or EXERCISE pursuant to an OPTION were to exist, and only in such event, the BENEFICIARY may EXERCISE and subscribe the shares representing the STOCK which he/she has obtained as an EARNED RIGHT to the date of his/her disability or retirement. Consequently, all the shares representing the STOCK regarding the OPTIONS which have been obtained as an EARNED RIGHT by the BENEFICIARY shall be RELEASED in advance in favor of the SUBSTITUTE BENEFICIARIES or their legitimate or testamentary heirs, irrespective of the fact that the time required for their RELEASE has not elapsed. The RELEASED STOCK which have not been EXERCISED on the date of disability or retirement, may be EXERCISED within the RELEASE DATE contemplated in the corresponding OPTION. The shares representing the STOCK RELEASED in advance of the date of disability or retirement may be EXERCISED within a term of ten |
years following the date of disability or retirement of the BENEFICIARY. |
10 | EXPATRIATE BENEFICIARIES |
If the BENEFICIARY is an EXPATRIATE, upon expiration of the term of his/her relationship, MAXCOM
may offer such BENEFICIARY the opportunity to continue his/her collaboration (through the entity in
which the EXPATRIATE provides his/her services) for an additional period of up to 12 months. If
such BENEFICIARY were not to accept such proposal, then, he/she shall lose the right to EXERCISE
50% (fifty percent) of the shares representing STOCK considered as an EARNED RIGHT to that date and
which have not been RELEASED.
The request of MAXCOM may only be proposed on one single occasion.
The BOARD shall inform this fact to the TRUSTEE of the TRUST and the BENEFICIARY.
11 | CHANGE OF CONTROL OF MAXCOM |
11.1 | In the event that according to any legal action or |
resolution, the control of MAXCOM were to change, the shares representing the STOCK covered by the OPTIONS shall be RELEASED in advance as from the date such change of control is publicly known, and which shall not be later than that date on which the General Stockholders Meeting adopted such change and/or altered the structure and integration of the BOARD. |
11.2 | Change of control shall mean any transaction or series of transactions having any of the following results: (1) that a third party who is not a stockholder or an affiliate of MAXCOM acquires at least 51% of the total outstanding shares representing the capital stock of MAXCOM, and (2) that there is a change of control in the management of MAXCOM. | ||
11.3 | The BOARD shall confirm that a change of control of MAXCOM has occurred to the TRUSTEE of the TRUST and to the BENEFICIARIES. |
12 | VARIATION TO THE CAPITAL STOCK OF MAXCOM |
12.1 | If during the term of any OPTION a variation is made to the capital stock of MAXCOM or to the par value (if any) of its shares, then the BOARD or the Stockholders Meeting of MAXCOM shall adopt any action so that when such variations are approved the rights actually existing in favor of the BENEFICIARIES according to this PLAN are not reduced or damaged. | ||
12.2 | In the event the capital stock of MAXCOM is increased and the new shares issued are paid in cash or in kind with funds not belonging to MAXCOM or its subsidiaries, then the total number of shares representing the STOCK provided for in an OPTION shall not increase. | ||
12.3 | In the event the capital stock of MAXCOM is increased and the new shares issued are paid with funds belonging to MAXCOM or its subsidiaries, the total number of shares representing the STOCK in certain OPTION shall be adjusted in order to assure the same economic and legal rights of the BENEFICIARIES. |
12.4 | In the event that, whether or not an increase or reduction in the capital stock of MAXCOM shall exist, the number of shares which represent the capital stock of MAXCOM were to be changed such as in the case of any split of the capital stock, the number of shares representing the STOCK covered by the OPTIONS shall be automatically adjusted, as shall the subscription price established in such OPTIONS, so that the number of shares representing the STOCK covered by an OPTION continues to represent the same percentage in the number of shares issued by MAXCOM that such shares represented prior to such change, and, if applicable, so that the subscription price per share representing the STOCK established in the OPTIONS is amended proportionally to the variation to the number of shares. | ||
12.5 | The BOARD shall confirm any adjustments made in accordance with this section to the TRUSTEE of the TRUST and to the BENEFICIARIES. |
13 | NO LOANS TO THE BENEFICIARIES |
It is expressly established that neither MAXCOM nor any affiliate or subsidiary company thereof may
advance any amounts to the BENEFICIARIES, either directly or indirectly, so that such BENEFICIARIES
may be able to subscribe the shares representing the STOCK.
14 | TERM OF THIS PLAN |
This PLAN shall have no established term and shall commence on the 31st of March, 1999 and end on
the date on which MAXCOM, after resolution by its BOARD, agrees to terminate it; provided, however
that upon termination of this PLAN, the OPTIONS which have been made prior to the date of such
termination shall remain in full force and effect.
This Stock Subscription Plan is attached to, and forms part of the notice delivered by the BOARD to
each BENEFICIARY on the date on which they have been designated as BENEFICIARIES both of the OPTION
and the Subscription Agreements entered into by and between MAXCOM and/or the TRUSTEE of the TRUST
and/or the BENEFICIARY; and the parties expressly represent that they know this PLAN and that they
expressly accept each and all of
the terms, conditions and other provisions established herein.
