Exercise:
You may exercise this Option, in whole or in part, to purchase a whole number of
vested shares at any time, by following the exercise procedures set up by the
Company. All exercises must take place before the Last Date to Exercise, or such
earlier date as is set out in the Plan following your death, disability or your
ceasing to be an employee. The number of shares you may purchase as of any date
cannot exceed the total number of shares vested by that date, less any shares
you have previously acquired by exercising this Option.
Employment Requirements:
The Plan sets out the terms and conditions that govern this grant in the event
of your termination of employment, death or disability. In the event of your
termination of employment, including total disability or death, all further
vesting of shares under this grant stops. As set out in Plan, you will have 90
Days after your employment ceases or is suspended to exercise your vested
options, and in the event of your total disability or death, you or your estate
will have a period of 1 Year to exercise any vested options.
Taxes and Withholding:
This option is not intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, as defined under
Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. Any exercise of this option is
normally a taxable event, and if the Company determines that any federal, state,
local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the exercise
or sale of shares arising from this grant, the Company shall have the right to
require such payments from you, or withhold such amounts from other payments due
to you from the Company.
