NON-QUALIFIED OPTION AGREEMENT

 

Option Price

 

The “Option Price” shall be the fair market value of the Stock on the Effective Date as determined by reference to the closing price of the Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the day immediately prior to the Effective Date.

 

 

 

Non-qualified Option

 

This Agreement evidences an award of the Option exercisable for that number of shares of Stock set forth on the cover sheet and subject to the vesting and other conditions set forth herein and on the cover sheet. This Option is not intended to be an incentive option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and will be interpreted accordingly.

 

 

 

Transfer of Option

 

During your lifetime, only you (or, in the event of your legal incapacity or incompetency, your guardian or legal representative) may exercise the Option. You cannot transfer or assign this Option. For instance, you may not sell this Option or use it as security for a loan. If you attempt to do any of these things, this Option will immediately become invalid. You may, however, dispose of this Option in your will or it may be transferred upon your death by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to honor a notice of exercise from your spouse, nor is the Company obligated to recognize your spouse’s interest in your Option in any other way.

 

 

 

Vesting

 

This Option is only exercisable before it expires and then only with respect to the vested portion of the Option. Subject to the preceding sentence, you may exercise this Option, in whole or in part, to purchase a whole number of vested shares not less than 100 shares, unless the number of shares purchased is the total number available for purchase under the Option, by following the procedures set forth below in this Agreement.

 

Your right to purchase shares of Stock under this Option vests according to the schedule set forth on the cover sheet provided that you continue to provide services to the Company or an Affiliate as an employee, officer or director, or a consultant or adviser (“Service”). Your employment agreement with the Company dated July 1, 2010 (the “Employment Agreement”) sets forth the circumstances in which vesting of the Option will be accelerated, either partially or fully. The resulting aggregate number of vested shares will be rounded to the

nearest whole number, and you cannot vest in more than the number of shares covered by this Option.

An entity may not be considered an Affiliate unless the Company holds a “controlling interest” in such entity, where the term “controlling interest” has the same meaning as provided in Treasury Regulation 1.414(c)-2(b)(2)(i), provided that the language “at least 50 percent” is used instead of “at least 80 percent” and, provided further, that where granting of stock options is based upon a legitimate business criteria, the language “at least 20 percent” is used instead of “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in Treasury Regulation 1.414(c)-2(b)(2)(i).

 

Subsidiary” means any “subsidiary corporation” of the Company within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code.

 

 

 

Forfeiture of Unvested Options / Term

 

Unless the termination of your Service triggers accelerated vesting of your Option pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other written agreement between the Company (or any Affiliate) and you, including the Employment Agreement, you will automatically forfeit to the Company those portions of the Option that have not yet vested in the event your Service terminates for any reason.

 

 

 

Expiration of Vested Options After Service Terminates

 

Your Option will expire on the Expiration Date shown on the cover sheet. Your Option will expire earlier if your Service terminates, as described in the Employment Agreement.

 

 

 

Forfeiture of Rights

 

If you should take actions in violation or breach of or in conflict with any non-competition agreement, any agreement prohibiting solicitation of employees or clients of the Company or any Affiliate thereof or any confidentiality obligation with respect to the Company or any Affiliate thereof, the Company has the right to cause an immediate forfeiture of your rights to this Option awarded under this Agreement, and the Option shall immediately expire.

 

 

 

Leaves of Absence

 

For purposes of this Agreement, your Service does not terminate when you go on a bona fide employee leave of absence that was approved by the Company in writing if the terms of the leave provide for continued service crediting, or when continued service crediting is required by applicable law. Your Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends unless you immediately return to active employee work.

The exercise of the Option shall be deemed effective upon receipt of such notice by the Corporate Secretary or a designated agent and payment to the Company.

·      if authorized by the Company, in its sole discretion, any combination of these methods.

 

 

 

Evidence of Issuance

 

The issuance of the shares upon exercise of this Option shall be evidenced in such a manner as the Company, in its discretion, will deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry, registration or issuance of one or more share certificates.

Withholding Taxes

 

You will not be allowed to exercise this Option unless you make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of the option exercise or sale of Stock acquired under this Option. In the event that the Company determines that any tax or withholding payment is required relating to the exercise or sale of shares arising from this grant under applicable laws, 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 or any Affiliate.

 

 

 

Retention Rights

 

Neither your Option nor this Agreement gives you the right to be retained by the Company (or any parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) in any capacity.

Stockholder Rights

 

You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a shareholder of the Company until the Stock has been issued upon exercise of your Option and either a certificate evidencing your Stock has been issued or an appropriate entry has been made on the Company’s books. No adjustments are made for dividends, distributions or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your certificate is issued (or an

appropriate book entry is made).

 

 

 

Adjustments

 

In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in the Stock, the number of shares covered by this Option and the Option Price per share shall be adjusted proportionately (and rounded down to the nearest whole number). Your Option shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity.

 

 

 

Applicable Law

 

This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Colorado, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

 

 

 

The Agreement

Any agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this grant are superseded; except that any written employment (including the Employment Agreement), consulting, confidentiality, non-competition and/or severance agreement between you and the Company (or any Affiliate), whether entered into before or after this Agreement’s effective date, shall supersede this Agreement with respect to its subject matter, provided that no such superseding shall result in a failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”).

The nature of any such amendment shall be determined by the Company. For purposes of this award, a termination of Service only occurs upon
