THIS
INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT is made as of ___________________ between
TERABEAM, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware
(hereinafter called the “Corporation”),
and
______________________ (hereinafter referred to as the “Employee”).
WHEREAS,
the Employee is in the employ of the Corporation or one of its affiliates and
the Corporation considers it desirable and in its best interests to encourage
the Employee as an eligible employee under its 2004 Stock Plan (the
“Plan”)
to
remain in such employ and to motivate the Employee to exert the Employee’s best
efforts on behalf of the Corporation and its affiliates;
NOW,
THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:
1. Grant
of Option.
The
Corporation hereby grants to the Employee as of the date of this Agreement
(“Date
of Grant”)
the
right, privilege and option to purchase not more than _____________ shares
(the “Grant
Number”)
of the
Common Stock of the Corporation, par value $.01 per share, as constituted on
the
date of this Agreement pursuant to the terms, provisions and conditions of
the
Plan which is incorporated herein and made a part hereof by reference as if
fully set forth herein at length and subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions set forth below.
2. Option
Price.
The
option price per share of Common Stock as constituted on the date of this
Agreement, as determined in accordance with the Plan, shall be $____ per
share.
3. Time
of
Exercise; Acceleration.
This
option will vest as to thirty-four percent (34%) of the Grant Number on the
first annual anniversary of the Date of Grant and then as to eight and
one-quarter percent (8.25%) of the Grant Number on the first day of each
January, April, July, and October after the first annual anniversary of the
Date
of Grant until the option has vested in full (the day on which any options
are
scheduled to vest under this Agreement is referred to in this Agreement as
a
“Vesting
Date”);
provided, however, that upon the event of (i) the completion of a merger or
consolidation of the Corporation with any other entity (other than a merger
or
consolidation which would result in the shareholders of the Corporation
immediately prior thereto continuing to own (either by remaining outstanding
or
by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or its parent)
more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the
Corporation or such surviving entity (or its parent) outstanding immediately
after such merger or consolidation), (ii) the sale of substantially all of
the Corporation’s assets to another entity, or (iii) the sale of more than
50% of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation to an unrelated person
or group of persons acting collectively in one or a series of transactions,
fifty percent (50%) of the unvested options that would have vested on each
Vesting Date (rounded down to the nearest whole number if necessary) will be
immediately vested. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, (a) the number
of
options that will vest on each Vesting Date, if other than a whole number,
will
be rounded
down
to
the nearest whole number and (b) any fractional options resulting from the
preceding clause will vest on the ninth Vesting Date.
Only
vested stock options may be exercised. This option may be exercised in whole
or
in part as to shares which have vested for not in excess of the difference
between (i) the total number of shares then vested and (ii) the total
number of shares as to which the option has been previously exercised. No
partial exercise of this option within any year may be for less than 100 shares
(or the remaining shares purchasable under this option if less than 100
shares).
4. Method
of Exercise.
This
option shall be exercisable from time to time as provided above by written
notice in the form of Exhibit “A”, signed by the person entitled to exercise the
option, setting forth in terms of shares of Stock as constituted on the date
of
this Agreement, the number of shares as to which this option is being exercised.
Such notice shall be delivered to the Corporation at its principal place of
business or as otherwise directed by the Corporation and be accompanied by
the
purchase price. Alternatively, the person entitled to exercise the option may
exercise the option and pay the purchase price by any other method that may
be
authorized by the Corporation from time to time. The Corporation shall make
prompt delivery of the shares of Stock as to which the option is exercised
against payment of the purchase price; provided, however, that if any law or
regulation requires the Corporation to take any action with respect to the
Stock
before the issuance thereof, then the date of delivery of the Stock shall be
extended for the period necessary to take such action.
5. Further
Limitations on Exercise.
A. Termination
of Employment.
(i) If
Employee’s employment with or service to the Corporation terminates other than
by reason of death or Disability, (a) no further vesting of this option will
occur subsequent to the date of termination, and (b) this option will terminate
on the date three months after the date of termination or on the option’s
specified expiration date, if earlier. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed
to give the Employee the right to continued employment with the
Corporation.
(ii) If
Employee’s employment or other service to the Corporation is terminated due to
the Employee’s death or Disability, this option may be exercised, up to that
portion of the option which the Employee could have exercised on the date of
death or Disability, by the Employee, or in the case of death, the Employee’s
estate, personal representative or any beneficiary who has acquired the option
by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, at any time prior to the
earlier of the specified expiration date of this option or one year after the
Employee’s death or Disability.
B. Condition
to Exercise.
As a
condition of the Corporation's obligation to issue Stock upon exercise of this
option, the Employee or other person entitled to exercise this option, if
requested by the Corporation, shall concurrently with the exercise of this
option execute an Agreement Not to Compete with the Corporation (in such form
as
adopted by the

from time to time), which obligates the Employee to refrain from certain
activities (if the person exercising the option has not already executed such
an
agreement).
C. Payment.
The
option price shall be paid as follows: (i) by check, and/or (ii) to the
extent the Stock is publicly traded, by delivery to the Corporation by the
Employee of Stock already owned by such Employee, properly endorsed and having
a
fair market value equal to the purchase price (if permitted by the Corporation)
and/or (iii) in any other manner permitted by the Corporation from time to
time.
For purposes of this Section 5(C), the market value of such stock to be
delivered to the Corporation in payment of the option price shall be determined

dividend is declared upon the Stock payable in Stock, then the shares of Stock
then subject to this option (and the number of shares reserved for issuance)
shall be increased proportionately without any change in the aggregate purchase
price. If the outstanding Stock is changed into or exchanged for a different
number or class of shares of stock of the Corporation or of another corporation,
whether through reorganization, recapitalization, stock split-up, combination
of
shares, merger or consolidation, then (i) there shall be substituted for each
such share of Stock then subject to this option (and for each share reserved
for
issuance) the number and class of shares of Stock into which each outstanding
share of Stock is so changed or exchanged, all without any change in the
aggregate purchase price for the shares then subject to this option and (ii)
the
vesting schedule set forth in Section 3 above shall also be adjusted
proportionately to reflect the impact of such reorganization, recapitalization,
stock split-up, combination of shares, merger or consolidation.

Taxes.
Whenever under this Agreement Stock is to be issued, the Corporation shall
have
the right to require the recipient to remit to the Corporation an amount

(including, without limitation, having an effective registration statement
relating to such shares in force with the Securities and Exchange Commission).

law or require the Corporation to qualify to do business in, obtain any
certifications or approvals from, or make any filings with any state, local,
or
foreign jurisdiction.
