|
| (a) |
Unless
otherwise accelerated upon a Change in Control as provided for in
Section
2 above, upon the one (1) year anniversary of March
3, 2008 the Option shall become exercisable to purchase ("vest with
respect to") 25% of the total number of Option Shares, and, after
the
first such anniversary date, shall vest each month (as of the monthly
anniversary of that date) for the next 36 months with respect to
an
additional 1/48 of the total number of Option Shares (rounded to
the
nearest whole share), such that 100% of the Option Shares will vest
in
four (4) years.
|
|
(b)
|
For
purposes hereof, a "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred
if
the conditions set forth in any one of the following paragraphs shall
have
been satisfied:
|
|
(1)
|
Any
Person becomes the beneficial owner of shares having 50% or more
of the
total number of votes that may be cast for the election of directors
of
the Company; or
|
|
(2)
|
As
a result of, or in connection with, any tender or exchange offer,
merger
or other business combination, sale of assets or contested election,
or
any combination of the foregoing (a "Transaction"), the persons who
were
directors of the Company before the Transaction shall cease to constitute
a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company or any successor
to
the Company or its assets; or
|
|
(3)
|
If
at any time (i) the Company shall consolidate with, or merge with,
any
other person and the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving
corporation, (ii) any Person shall consolidate with, or merge with,
the Company and the Company shall be the continuing or surviving
corporation and in connection therewith, all or part of the outstanding
stock shall be changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities
of
any other Person or cash or any other property, (iii) the Company
shall be a party to a statutory share exchange with any other Person
after
which the Company is a Subsidiary of any other Person, or (iv) the
Company shall sell or otherwise transfer 50% or more of the assets
or
earnings power of the Company and its subsidiaries (taken as a whole)
to
any Person or Persons. The term "Person" shall have the meaning ascribed
to such term in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934
("Exchange Act") and used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, including
a
"group" as defined in Section 13(d)
thereof.
|

|
(c)
|
If
a Change in Control occurs and the Company fails to remain in existence,
the Option shall become an obligation of the person succeeding to
the
business of the Company or otherwise responsible for the Company's
obligations.
|
|
(d)
|
Nothing
in this Agreement pertaining to a Change in Control shall limit or
restrict the rights otherwise provided to you in this Agreement or
the
exercisability of the Option.
|
|
5.
|
Additional
Provisions Relating to Exercise.
|
|
6.
|
Exercise
of Option.
|
|
(a)
|
An
Option may be exercised by giving written notice of exercise to the
Company specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Such notice
must
be signed and dated and be accompanied by payment in full of the
exercise
price. If a person other than you exercises the Option, such person
shall
submit proof satisfactory to the Company of the right of such person
to
exercise the Option.
|
|
(b)
|
To
exercise the Option, you must use one of the payment methods specified
below at the date of exercise. Payment of the full exercise price
must be
accompanied by payment, if you are subject to taxes in the USA, of
the
applicable income tax and social security payments, and, if you are
subject to taxes in the United Kingdom, by both primary (employee's)
and
secondary (employer's) Class 1 National Insurance Contributions ("NIC's"),
together with any other taxes to which you may be subjected arising
on the
exercise of the Options to the extent permitted by law (the "Tax
Indemnity"). Unless otherwise agreed to by the Committee, payment
of the
option price and payment in respect of the Tax Indemnity must be
made by
(i) cashier's check or wire transfer to the Company’s bank account, (ii)
by shares of Common Stock already owned by you (provided, that for
any
such shares that you acquired pursuant to an option issued to you
by the
Company, you have held such shares for at least six months), or (iii)
by a
cashless exercise transaction whereby you simultaneously exercise
an
Option, sell the shares of the Common Stock thereby acquired, and
use the
proceeds from such sale for payment of the exercise price; provided,
however,
that with the prior approval of the Committee, payment of such option
price and/or Tax Indemnity may instead be made, in whole or in part,
by
the delivery to the Company of a promissory note in a form and amount
satisfactory to the Committee, provided that the principal amount
of such
note shall not exceed the excess of such aggregate option price and
Tax
Indemnity obligation over the aggregate par value of the purchased
Option
Shares. The Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by
the
Company of both the required written notice and full payment of the
exercise price and any other amounts required
above.
|

|
(c)
|
Subject
to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Plan,
the
Company shall issue a certificate or certificates representing the
number
of Option Shares to which the person exercising the Option is entitled
as
soon as practicable after the date of exercise. Unless the person
exercising the Option otherwise directs the Company in writing, the
certificate or certificates will be registered in your
name.
|
|
(d)
|
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no shares of stock purchased
upon exercise of the Option, and no certificate representing such
shares,
shall be issued or delivered if (a) such shares have not been admitted
to
listing upon official notice of issuance on each stock exchange,
if any,
upon which shares of that class are then listed, or (b) in the
opinion of counsel to the Company, such issuance or delivery would
(i) cause the Company to be in violation of or to incur liability
under any federal, state or other securities law, or any other requirement
of law or any requirement of any stock exchange regulations or listing
agreement to which the Company is a party, or of any administrative
or
regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company or (ii) require
registration (apart from any registrations as have been theretofore
completed by the Company covering such shares) under any federal,
state,
or other securities or similar law.

7.
|
Transferability
of Option.
|

|
8.
|
Termination
of Employment.
|
| (a) |
In
the event that (i) the Company or any subsidiary, affiliate, or parent
thereof terminates your employment, or (ii) you terminate your
employment for
any reason whatsoever (other than as a result of your death or total
and
permanent disability (as determined by the Company or its designated
representative)), then the Option may only be exercised within ninety
(90)
days after the date you cease to be so employed, and only to the
same
extent that you were entitled to exercise the Option on the date
you
ceased to be so employed by reason of such termination and had not
previously done so.
|
| (b) |
In
the event that you cease to be employed by the Company or any subsidiary,
affiliate, or parent thereof by reason of total and permanent disability
(as determined by the Company or its designated representative),
then the
Option may only be exercised within one year after the date you cease
to
be so employed, and only to the same extent that you were entitled
to
exercise the Option on the date you ceased to be so employed by reason
of
such disability and had not previously done
so.
|
| (c) |
In
the event that you die while employed by the Company or any subsidiary,
affiliate, or parent thereof (or die within a period of one year
after
ceasing to be employed by the Company or any subsidiary, affiliate,
or
parent thereof by reason of disability (as described in Section 8(b)
hereof) or within 90 days of ceasing to be so employed for any other
reason), the Option may only be exercised within one year after your
death. In such event, the Option may be exercised during such one-year
period by the executor or administrator of your estate or by any
person
who shall have acquired the Option through bequest or inheritance,
but
only to the same extent that you were entitled to exercise the Option
immediately prior to the time of your death and you had not previously
done so.
|
|
(d)
|
Notwithstanding
any provision contained in this Section 8 to the contrary, (i) the
time limits provided for in this Section 8 shall be subject to extension
in the event of a Change in Control, to the extent provided for in
Section
2 hereof, and (ii) in no event may the Option be exercised to any
extent by anyone after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of
grant
of the Option.
