On or after the Registration Date, with respect to grants of Awards to Directors or Employees who are also Officers or Directors of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws and to permit such grants and related transactions under the Plan to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act in accordance with Rule 16b-3. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board.
               (ii) Administration With Respect to Consultants and Other Employees. With respect to grants of Awards to Employees or Consultants who are neither Directors nor Officers of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board.
               (iii) Administration With Respect to Covered Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of and after the date that the exemption for the Plan under Section 162(m) of the Code expires, as set forth in Section 18 below, grants of Awards to any Covered Employee intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be made only by a Committee (or subcommittee of a Committee) which is comprised solely of two or more Directors eligible to serve on a committee making Awards qualifying as Performance-Based Compensation. In the case of such Awards granted to Covered Employees, references to the “Administrator” or to a “Committee” shall be deemed to be references to such Committee or subcommittee.
          (b) Multiple Administrative Bodies. The Plan may be administered by different bodies with respect to Directors, Officers, Consultants, and Employees who are neither Directors nor Officers.
          (c) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to Applicable Laws and the provisions of the Plan (including any other powers given to the Administrator hereunder), and except as otherwise provided by the Board, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

6


 

               (i) to select the Employees, Directors and Consultants to whom Awards may be granted from time to time hereunder;
               (ii) to determine whether and to what extent Awards are granted hereunder;
               (iii) to determine the number of Shares or the amount of other consideration to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;
               (iv) to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan;
               (v) to determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder;
               (vi) to establish additional terms, conditions, rules or procedures to accommodate the rules or laws of applicable non-U.S. jurisdictions and to afford Grantees favorable treatment under such rules or laws; provided, however, that no Award shall be granted under any such additional terms, conditions, rules or procedures with terms or conditions which are inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan;
               (vii) to amend the terms of any outstanding Award granted under the Plan, provided that any amendment that would adversely affect the Grantee’s rights under an outstanding Award shall not be made without the Grantee’s written consent;
               (viii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards, including without limitation, any notice of award or Award Agreement, granted pursuant to the Plan; and
               (ix) to take such other action, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator deems appropriate.
          (d) Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or as Officers or Employees of the Company or a Related Entity, members of the Board and any Officers or Employees of the Company or a Related Entity to whom authority to act for the Board, the Administrator or the Company is delegated shall be defended and indemnified by the Company to the extent permitted by law on an after-tax basis against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, or any Award granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct; provided, however, that within thirty (30) days after the institution of such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at the Company’s expense to defend the same.
     5. Eligibility. Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Directors and Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or a Parent or a Subsidiary of the Company. An Employee, Director or Consultant who has been granted an Award may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards. Awards may be

7


 

granted to such Employees, Directors or Consultants who are residing in non-U.S. jurisdictions as the Administrator may determine from time to time.
     6. Terms and Conditions of Awards.
          (a) Designation of Award. Each Award shall be designated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Option, the Option shall be designated as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares subject to Options designated as Incentive Stock Options which become exercisable for the first time by a Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options, to the extent of the Shares covered thereby in excess of the foregoing limitation, shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. For this purpose, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the grant date of the relevant Option.
          (b) Conditions of Award. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator shall determine the provisions, terms, and conditions of each Award including, but not limited to, the Award vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form of payment (cash, Shares, or other consideration) upon settlement of the Award, payment contingencies, and satisfaction of any performance criteria. The performance criteria established by the Administrator may be based on any one of, or combination of, increase in share price, earnings per share, total stockholder return, return on equity, return on assets, return on investment, net operating income, cash flow, revenue, economic value added, personal management objectives, or other measure of performance selected by the Administrator. Partial achievement of the specified criteria may result in a payment or vesting corresponding to the degree of achievement as specified in the Award Agreement.
          (c) Acquisitions and Other Transactions. The Administrator may issue Awards under the Plan in settlement, assumption or substitution for, outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards in connection with the Company or a Related Entity acquiring another entity, an interest in another entity or an additional interest in a Related Entity whether by merger, stock purchase, asset purchase or other form of transaction.
          (d) Deferral of Award Payment. The Administrator may establish one or more programs under the Plan to permit selected Grantees the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of consideration upon exercise of an Award, satisfaction of performance criteria, or other event that absent the election would entitle the Grantee to payment or receipt of Shares or other consideration under an Award. The Administrator may establish the election procedures, the timing of such elections, the mechanisms for payments of, and accrual of interest or other earnings, if any, on amounts, Shares or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures that the Administrator deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program.
          (e) Separate Programs. The Administrator may establish one or more separate programs under the Plan for the purpose of issuing particular forms of Awards to one or more classes of Grantees on such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator from time to time.
          (f) Individual Option Limit. Following the date that the exemption from application of Section 162(m) of the Code described in Section 18 (or any exemption having similar

8


 

effect) ceases to apply to Awards, the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options may be granted to any Grantee in any fiscal year of the Company shall be 750,000 Shares. In connection with a Grantee’s commencement of Continuous Service, a Grantee may be granted Options for up to an additional 250,000 Shares which shall not count against the limit set forth in the previous sentence. The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization pursuant to Section 10, below. To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code or the regulations thereunder, in applying the foregoing limitations with respect to a Grantee, if any Option is canceled, the canceled Option shall continue to count against the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options may be granted to the Grantee. For this purpose, the repricing of an Option shall be treated as the cancellation of the existing Option and the grant of a new Option.
          (g) Early Exercise. The Award Agreement may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Grantee may elect at any time while an Employee, Director or Consultant to exercise any part or all of the Award prior to full vesting of the Award. Any unvested Shares received pursuant to such exercise may be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company or a Related Entity or to any other restriction the Administrator determines to be appropriate.
          (h) Term of Award. The term of each Award shall be the term stated in the Award Agreement, provided, however, that the term of an Incentive Stock Option shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Grantee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.
          (i) Transferability of Awards. Non-Qualified Stock Options shall be transferable (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) to the extent and in the manner authorized by the Administrator by gift to members of the Grantee’s Immediate Family. Incentive Stock Options and other Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Grantee, only by the Grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may designate a member of the Grantee’s Immediate Family as a beneficiary of the Grantee’s Incentive Stock Option or Non-Qualified Stock Option in the event of the Grantee’s death on a beneficiary designation form provided by the Administrator.
          (j) Time of Granting Awards. The date of grant of an Award shall for all purposes be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination to grant such Award, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator.
     7. Award Exercise or Purchase Price, Consideration and Taxes.
          (a) Exercise or Purchase Price. The exercise or purchase price, if any, for an Award shall be as follows:
               (i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option:
                    (A) granted to an Employee who, at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the per Share exercise

9


 

price shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant; or
                    (B) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in the preceding paragraph, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
               (ii) In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than fifty percent (50%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.
               (iii) In the case of Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the exercise or purchase price, if any, shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
               (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(a), in the case of an Award issued pursuant to Section 6(c), above, the exercise or purchase price for the Award shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the relevant instrument evidencing the agreement to issue such Award.
          (b) Consideration. Subject to Applicable Laws, the consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise or purchase of an Award including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time of grant). In addition to any other types of consideration the Administrator may determine, the Administrator is authorized to accept as consideration for Shares issued under the Plan the following provided that the portion of the consideration equal to the par value of the Shares must be paid in cash or other legal consideration permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law:
               (i) cash;
               (ii) check;
               (iii) delivery of Grantee’s promissory note with such recourse, interest, security, and redemption provisions as the Administrator determines as appropriate (but only to the extent that the acceptance or terms of the promissory note would not violate an Applicable Law);
               (iv) if the exercise or purchase occurs on or after the Registration Date, surrender of Shares or delivery of a properly executed form of attestation of ownership of Shares as the Administrator may require which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Award shall be exercised, provided, however, that Shares acquired under the Plan or any other equity compensation plan or agreement of the Company must have been held by the Grantee for a period of more than six (6) months;
               (v) with respect to Options, if the exercise occurs on or after the Registration Date, payment through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Grantee (A) shall provide written instructions to a Company designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of some or all of the purchased Shares and remit to the Company sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased Shares and (B) shall provide written directives to

10


 

the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction; or
               (vi) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.
          (c) Taxes. No Shares shall be delivered under the Plan to any Grantee or other person until such Grantee or other person has made arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of any non-U.S., federal, state, or local income and employment tax withholding obligations, including, without limitation, obligations incident to the receipt of Shares or the disqualifying disposition of Shares received on exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.

          (a) Any Award granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator under the terms of the Plan and specified in the Award Agreement.
          (b) An Award shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award by the person entitled to exercise the Award and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Award is exercised has been made, including, to the extent selected, use of the broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure to pay the purchase price as provided in Section 7(b)(v).
     9. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.
          (a) Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all Applicable Laws, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
          (b) As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any Applicable Laws.
     10. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the number of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan, the exercise or purchase price of each such outstanding Award, the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options may be granted to any Grantee in any fiscal year of the Company, as well as any other terms that the Administrator determines require adjustment shall be proportionately adjusted for (i) any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Shares, or similar transaction affecting the Shares, (ii) any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, or (iii) as the Administrator may determine in its discretion, any other transaction with

respect to Common Stock including a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation (including a spin-off or other distribution of stock or property), reorganization, liquidation (whether partial or complete) or any similar transaction; provided, however that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as the Administrator determines, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason hereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award.
     11. Corporate Transactions.
          (a) Termination of Award to Extent Not Assumed in Corporate Transaction. Effective upon the consummation of a Corporate Transaction, all outstanding Awards under the Plan shall terminate. However, all such Awards shall not terminate to the extent they are Assumed in connection with the Corporate Transaction.
          (b) Acceleration of Award Upon Corporate Transaction.
               (i) Corporate Transaction Prior to the Initial Exercisability Date. Except as provided otherwise in an individual Award Agreement, in the event of any Corporate Transaction prior to the Initial Exercisability Date, there will not be any acceleration of vesting or exercisability of any Award.
               (ii) Corporate Transaction On or After the Initial Exercisability Date. Except as provided otherwise in an individual Award Agreement, in the event of a Corporate Transaction on or after the Initial Exercisability Date, each Award which is at the time outstanding under the Plan automatically shall become fully vested and exercisable and be released from any repurchase or forfeiture rights (other than repurchase rights exercisable at Fair Market Value), immediately prior to the specified effective date of such Corporate Transaction, for all of the Shares at the time represented by such Award, irrespective of whether the Award is Assumed or Replaced.
          (c) Effect of Acceleration on Incentive Stock Options. Any Incentive Stock Option accelerated under this Section 11 in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code only to the extent the $100,000 dollar limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the excess Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.
     12. Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the stockholders of the Company. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated. Subject to Section 17 below, and Applicable Laws, Awards may be granted under the Plan upon its becoming effective.
     13. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan.
          (a) The Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan. To the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required.

12


 

          (b) No Award may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan.
          (c) No suspension or termination of the Plan (including termination of the Plan under Section 12, above) shall adversely affect any rights under Awards already granted to a Grantee.
     14. Reservation of Shares.
          (a) The Company, during the term of the Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
          (b) The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
     15. No Effect on Terms of Employment/Consulting Relationship. The Plan shall not confer upon any Grantee any right with respect to the Grantee’s Continuous Service, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the right of the Company or any Related Entity to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Service at any time, with or without Cause, and with or without notice. The ability of the Company or any Related Entity to terminate the employment of a Grantee who is employed at will is in no way affected by its determination that the Grantee’s Continuous Service has been terminated for Cause for the purposes of this Plan.
     16. No Effect on Retirement and Other Benefit Plans. Except as specifically provided in a retirement or other benefit plan of the Company or a Related Entity, Awards shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or a Related Entity, and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of any kind or any benefit plan subsequently instituted under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation. The Plan is not a “Retirement Plan” or “Welfare Plan” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
     17. Stockholder Approval. The grant of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan, excluding Incentive Stock Options issued in substitution for outstanding Incentive Stock Options pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Code, shall be subject to approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws. The Administrator may grant Incentive Stock Options under the Plan prior to approval by the stockholders, but until such approval is obtained, no such Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable. In the event that stockholder approval is not obtained within the twelve (12) month period provided above, all Incentive Stock Options previously granted under the Plan shall be exercisable as Non-Qualified Stock Options.
     18. Effect of Section 162(m) of the Code. Section 162(m) of the Code does not apply to the Plan prior to the Registration Date or such earlier time that the Company first becomes subject to the reporting obligations of Section 12 of the Exchange Act. Following the Registration Date or such earlier time that the Company first becomes subject to the reporting obligations of Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, and all Awards (except Awards of Restricted Stock that vest over time) issued thereunder, are intended to be exempt from the application of Section 162(m) of the Code, which

13


 

restricts under certain circumstances the Federal income tax deduction for compensation paid by a public company to named executives in excess of $1 million per year. The exemption is based on Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(f), in the form existing on the effective date of the Plan, with the understanding that such regulation generally exempts from the application of Section 162(m) of the Code compensation paid pursuant to a plan that existed before a company becomes publicly held. Under such Treasury Regulation, this exemption is available to the Plan for the duration of the period that lasts until the earliest of (i) the expiration of the Plan, (ii) the material modification of the Plan, (iii) the exhaustion of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards under the Plan, as set forth in Section 3(a), (iv) the first meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected that occurs after the close of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which the Company first becomes subject to the reporting obligations of Section 12 of the Exchange Act, or (v) such other date required by Section 162(m) of the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the Administrator determines as of the date of grant of an Award that (i) the Award is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation and (ii) the exemption described above is no longer available with respect to such Award, such Award shall not be effective until any stockholder approval required under Section 162(m) of the Code has been obtained.
     19. Unfunded Obligation. Grantees shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company. Any amounts payable to Grantees pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes, including, without limitation, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Neither the Company nor any Related Entity shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations. The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Grantee account shall not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Administrator, the Company or any Related Entity and a Grantee, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Grantee or the Grantee’s creditors in any assets of the Company or a Related Entity. The Grantees shall have no claim against the Company or any Related Entity for any changes in the value of any assets that may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan.

Award Number:                     
DISCOVERY MINING, INC. 2003 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT
     1. Grant of Option. Discovery Mining, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to the Grantee (the “Grantee”) named in the Notice of Stock Option Award (the “Notice”), an option (the “Option”) to purchase the Total Number of Shares of Common Stock subject to the Option (the “Shares”) set forth in the Notice, at the Exercise Price per Share set forth in the Notice (the “Exercise Price”) subject to the terms and provisions of the Notice, this Stock Option Award Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) and the Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which are incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Option Agreement.
     If designated in the Notice as an Incentive Stock Option, the Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares subject to Options designated as Incentive Stock Options which become exercisable for the first time by the Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options, to the extent of the Shares covered thereby in excess of the foregoing limitation, shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. For this purpose, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the date the Option with respect to such Shares is awarded.
     2. Exercise of Option.
          (a) Right to Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. The Option shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11 of the Plan relating to the exercisability or termination of the Option in the event of a Corporate Transaction or Change in Control. The Grantee shall be subject to reasonable limitations on the number of requested exercises during any monthly or weekly period as determined by the Administrator. In no event shall the Company issue fractional Shares.
          (b) Method of Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice (a form of which is attached as Exhibit A) or by such other procedure as specified from time to time by the Administrator which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the whole number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, and such other provisions as may be required by the Administrator. The exercise notice shall be delivered in person, by certified mail, or by such other method (including electronic transmission) as determined from time to time by the Administrator to the Company accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. The Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of

1


 

such notice accompanied by the Exercise Price, which, to the extent selected, shall be deemed to be satisfied by use of the broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure to pay the Exercise Price provided in Section 4(d), below.
          (c) Taxes. No Shares will be delivered to the Grantee or other person pursuant to the exercise of the Option until the Grantee or other person has made arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of applicable income tax and employment tax withholding obligations, including, without limitation, such other tax obligations of the Grantee incident to the receipt of Shares or the disqualifying disposition of Shares received on exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. Upon exercise of the Option, the Company or the Grantee’s employer may offset or withhold (from any amount owed by the Company or the Grantee’s employer to the Grantee) or collect from the Grantee or other person an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations and/or the employer’s withholding obligations.
     3. Grantee’s Representations.
          (a) Investment Representation. The Grantee understands that neither the Option nor the Shares exercisable pursuant to the Option have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or any United States securities laws. In the event the Shares purchasable pursuant to the exercise of the Option have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time the Option is exercised, the Grantee shall, if requested by the Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of the Option, deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
          (b) California Residents. If a resident of the state of California, the Grantee further represents and warrants that the Grantee either (i) has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company or any of its officers, directors or controlling persons or (ii) by reason of the Grantee’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of the Grantee’s professional advisor, who is not affiliated with and is not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly, has the capacity to protect the Grantee’s interests in connection with the grant of the Option and the purchase of the Shares purchasable pursuant to the exercise of the Option, and Grantee represents and warrants that such professional advisor is either (A) a person who, as a regular part of his or her business, is customarily relied upon by others for investment recommendations or decisions, and who is customarily compensated for such services, either specifically or by way of compensation for related professional services; (B) an attorney; (C) a certified public accountant; (D) a registered broker-dealer, registered representative, or licensed investment advisor; or (E) a bank.
     4. Method of Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Grantee; provided, however, that such exercise method does not then violate any Applicable Law, provided further, that the portion of the Exercise Price equal to the par value of the Shares must be paid in cash or other legal consideration permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law:
          (a) cash;

2


 

          (b) check;
          (c) if the exercise occurs on or after the Registration Date, surrender of Shares or delivery of a properly executed form of attestation of ownership of Shares as the Administrator may require which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised, provided, however, that Shares acquired under the Plan or any other equity compensation plan or agreement of the Company must have been held by the Grantee for a period of more than six (6) months; or
          (d) if the exercise occurs on or after the Registration Date, payment through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Grantee (i) shall provide written instructions to a Company-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of some or all of the purchased Shares and remit to the Company sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased Shares and (ii) shall provide written directives to the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction.
     5. Restrictions on Exercise. The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of the Shares subject to the Option upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any Applicable Laws. In addition, the Option may not be exercised until such time as the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company.
     6. Change of Continuous Service. In the event of the Grantee’s change in status from Employee, Director or Consultant to any other status of Employee, Director or Consultant, the Option shall remain in effect and vesting of the Option shall continue only to the extent determined by the Administrator as of such change in status; provided, however, with respect to any Incentive Stock Option that shall remain in effect after a change in status from Employee to Director or Consultant, such Incentive Stock Option shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option on the day three (3) months and one (1) day following such change in status.
     7. Termination of Continuous Service Prior to Initial Exercisability Date. In the event the Grantee’s Continuous Service terminates prior to the Initial Exercisability Date for any reason including, but not limited to, voluntary resignation, involuntary termination with or without Cause, Disability or death, the Option (including the vested portion) shall terminate concurrently with the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service.
     8. Termination of Continuous Service After Initial Exercisability Date. In the event of termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service after the Initial Exercisability Date, other than for Cause, the Grantee may, but only during the Post-Termination Exercise Period, exercise the portion of the Option that was vested at the date of such termination (the “Termination Date”). In the event of termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service after the Initial Exercisability Date for Cause, the Grantee’s right to exercise the Option shall, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, terminate concurrently with the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service (also the “Termination Date”). In no event shall the Option be exercised later than the Expiration

3


 

Date set forth in the Notice. Except as provided in Sections 9 and 10 below, to the extent that the Option was unvested on the Termination Date, or if the Grantee does not exercise the vested portion of the Option within the Post-Termination Exercise Period, the Option shall terminate.
     9. Disability of Grantee After Initial Exercisability Date. In the event the Grantee’s Continuous Service terminates after the Initial Exercisability Date as a result of his or her Disability, the Grantee may, but only within twelve (12) months from the Termination Date (but in no event later than the Expiration Date), exercise the portion of the Option that was vested on the Termination Date; provided, however, that if such Disability is not a “disability” as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code and the Option is an Incentive Stock Option, such Incentive Stock Option shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option on the day three (3) months and one (1) day following the Termination Date. To the extent that the Option was unvested on the Termination Date, or if the Grantee does not exercise the vested portion of the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. Section 22(e)(3) of the Code provides that an individual is permanently and totally disabled if he or she is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months.
     10. Death of Grantee After Initial Exercisability Date. In the event of the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service after the Initial Exercisability Date as a result of his or her death, or in the event of the Grantee’s death during the Post-Termination Exercise Period or during the twelve (12) month period following the Grantee’s termination of Continuous Service after the Initial Exercisability Date as a result of his or her Disability, the Grantee’s estate, or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, may exercise the portion of the Option that was vested at the date of termination, within twelve (12) months from the date of death (but in no event later than the Expiration Date). To the extent that the Option was unvested on the date of death, or if the vested portion of the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.
     11. Transferability of Option. The Option, if an Incentive Stock Option, may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Grantee only by the Grantee. The Option, if a Non-Qualified Stock Option, may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, provided, however, that a Non-Qualified Stock Option may be transferred during the lifetime of the Grantee by gift to members of the Grantee’s Immediate Family to the extent and in the manner determined by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may designate members of the Grantee’s Immediate Family as beneficiaries of the Grantee’s Incentive Stock Option or Non-Qualified Stock Option in the event of the Grantee’s death on a beneficiary designation form provided by the Administrator. The terms of the Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and transferees of the Grantee.
     12. Term of Option. The Option must be exercised no later than the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice or such earlier date as otherwise provided herein. After the Expiration Date or such earlier date, the Option shall be of no further force or effect and may not be exercised.

     13. Company’s Right of First Refusal.
          (a) Transfer Notice. Neither the Grantee nor a transferee (either being sometimes referred to herein as the “Holder”) shall sell, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer any Shares or any right or interest therein without first complying with the provisions of this Section 13 or obtaining the prior written consent of the Company. In the event the Holder desires to accept a bona fide third-party offer for any or all of the Shares, the Holder shall provide the Company with written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) of:
               (i) The Holder’s intention to transfer;
               (ii) The name of the proposed transferee;
               (iii) The number of Shares to be transferred; and
               (iv) The proposed transfer price or value and terms thereof.
          (b) First Refusal Exercise Notice. The Company shall have the right to purchase (the “Right of First Refusal”) all but not less than all, of the Shares which are described in the Transfer Notice (the “Offered Shares”) at any time within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Transfer Notice (the “Option Period”), provided, however, that if the Offered Shares are not Mature Shares (as defined below) then the Option Period shall be extended by the number of days necessary for the Offered Shares to become Mature Shares. The Offered Shares shall be repurchased at (i) the per share price or value and in accordance with the terms stated in the Transfer Notice (subject to Section 13(c) below) or (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date on which the purchase is to be effected if no consideration is paid pursuant to the terms stated in the Transfer Notice, which Right of First Refusal shall be exercised by written notice (the “First Refusal Exercise Notice”) to the Holder. During the Option Period or the 90-day period specified in Section 13(e) below, the Company may exercise its Repurchase Right (as set forth in Section 14 below) in lieu of or in addition to its Right of First Refusal if the Repurchase Right is or becomes exercisable during the Option Period or such 90-day period. “Mature Shares” shall mean vested Shares that have been held by the Holder (and any successor Holder) for a period of more than six (6) months after the Shares have vested.
          (c) Payment Terms. The Company shall consummate the purchase of the Offered Shares on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice within 30 days after delivery of the First Refusal Exercise Notice; provided, however, that in the event the Transfer Notice provides for the payment for the Offered Shares other than in cash, the Company and/or its assigns shall have the right to pay for the Offered Shares by the discounted cash equivalent of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice as reasonably determined by the Administrator. Upon payment for the Offered Shares to the Holder or into escrow for the benefit of the Holder, the Company or its assigns shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Offered Shares and all rights and interest therein or related thereto, and the Company shall have the right to transfer the Offered Shares to its own name or its assigns without further action by the Holder.
          (d) Assignment. Whenever the Company shall have the right to purchase Shares under this Right of First Refusal, the Company may designate and assign one or more

5


 

employees, officers, directors or stockholders of the Company or other persons or organizations, to exercise all or a part of the Company’s Right of First Refusal.
          (e) Non-Exercise. If the Company and/or its assigns do not collectively elect to exercise the Right of First Refusal within the Option Period or such earlier time if the Company and/or its assigns notifies the Holder that it will not exercise the Right of First Refusal, then the Holder may transfer the Shares upon the terms and conditions stated in the Transfer Notice, provided that:
               (i) The transfer is made within 90 days of the earlier of (A) the date the Company and/or its assigns notify the Holder that the Right of First Refusal will not be exercised or (B) the expiration of the Option Period; and
               (ii) The transferee agrees in writing that such Shares shall be held subject to the provisions of this Option Agreement.
          (f) Expiration of Transfer Period. Following such 90-day period, no transfer of the Offered Shares and no change in the terms of the transfer as stated in the Transfer Notice (including the name of the proposed transferee) shall be permitted without a new written Transfer Notice prepared and submitted in accordance with the requirements of this Right of First Refusal.
          (g) Termination of Right of First Refusal. The provisions of this Right of First Refusal shall terminate as to all Shares upon the Registration Date.
          (h) Additional Shares or Substituted Securities. In the event of any transaction described in Sections 10 or 11 of the Plan, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property which is by reason of any such transaction distributed with respect to the Shares shall be immediately subject to the Right of First Refusal, but only to the extent the Shares are at the time covered by such right.
     14. Company’s Repurchase Right.
          (a) Grant of Repurchase Right. The Company is hereby granted the right to purchase all or any portion of the Shares (the “Repurchase Right”), exercisable at any time (i) during the ninety (90) day period commencing on the Termination Date, or (ii) during the ninety (90) day period commencing upon any exercise of the Option that occurs after the Termination Date (together, the “Share Repurchase Period”), provided, however, that if the Shares to be repurchased are not Mature Shares then the Share Repurchase Period shall be extended by the number of days necessary for the such Shares to become Mature Shares. “Mature Shares” shall mean vested Shares that have been held by the Holder (and any successor Holder) for a period of more than six (6) months after the Shares have vested.
          (b) Exercise of the Repurchase Right. The Repurchase Right shall be exercisable by written notice delivered to each Holder of the Shares prior to the expiration of the Share Repurchase Period. The notice shall indicate the number of Shares to be repurchased and the date on which the repurchase is to be effected, such date to be not later than the last day of

the Share Repurchase Period. On the date on which the repurchase is to be effected, the Company and/or its assigns shall pay to the Holder in cash or cash equivalents (including the cancellation of any purchase-money indebtedness) an amount equal to the Fair Market Value on the date on which the repurchase is to be effected of the Shares which are to be repurchased from the Holder. Upon such payment or deposit into escrow for the benefit of the Holder, the Company and/or its assigns shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Shares being repurchased and all rights and interest thereon or related thereto, and the Company shall have the right to transfer to its own name or its assigns the number of Shares being repurchased, without further action by the Holder.
          (c) Assignment. Whenever the Company shall have the right to purchase Shares under this Repurchase Right, the Company may designate and assign one or more employees, officers, directors or stockholders of the Company or other persons or organizations, to exercise all or a part of the Company’s Repurchase Right.
          (d) Termination of the Repurchase Right. The Repurchase Right shall terminate with respect to any Shares for which it is not timely exercised. In addition, the Repurchase Right shall terminate and cease to be exercisable with respect to all Shares upon the Registration Date.
          (e) Additional Shares or Substituted Securities. In the event of any transaction described in Sections 10 or 11 of the Plan, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property which is by reason of any such transaction distributed with respect to the Shares shall be immediately subject to the Repurchase Right, but only to the extent the Shares are at the time covered by such right.
     15. Stop-Transfer Notices. In order to ensure compliance with the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Option Agreement, the Notice or the Plan, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.
     16. Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Option Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.
     17. Tax Consequences. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date of this Option Agreement of some of the federal tax consequences of exercise of the Option and disposition of the Shares. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE GRANTEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THE OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.
          (a) Exercise of Incentive Stock Option. If the Option qualifies as an Incentive Stock Option, there will be no regular federal income tax liability upon the exercise of the

7


 

Option, although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price will be treated as income for purposes of the alternative minimum tax for federal tax purposes and may subject the Grantee to the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise. However, the Internal Revenue Service issued proposed regulations which would subject the Grantee to withholding at the time the Grantee exercises an Incentive Stock Option for Social Security and Medicare based upon the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. These proposed regulations are subject to further modification by the Internal Revenue Service and, if adopted, would be effective only for the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option that occurs two years after the regulations are issued in final form.
          (b) Exercise of Incentive Stock Option Following Disability. If the Grantee’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of Disability that is not permanent and total disability as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, to the extent permitted on the date of termination, the Grantee must exercise an Incentive Stock Option within three (3) months of such termination for the Incentive Stock Option to be qualified as an Incentive Stock Option. Section 22(e)(3) of the Code provides that an individual is permanently and totally disabled if he or she is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months.
          (c) Exercise of Non-Qualified Stock Option. On exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the Grantee will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. If the Grantee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from the Grantee’s compensation or collect from the Grantee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.
          (d) Disposition of Shares. In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, if Shares are held for more than one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, if Shares transferred pursuant to the Option are held for more than one year after receipt of the Shares and are disposed more than two years after the Date of Award, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares also will be treated as capital gain for federal income tax purposes and subject to the same tax rates and holding periods that apply to Shares acquired upon exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option. If Shares purchased under an Incentive Stock Option are disposed of prior to the expiration of such one-year or two-year periods, any gain realized on such disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the difference between the Exercise Price and the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise, or (ii) the sale price of the Shares.

     18. Lock-Up Agreement.
          (a) Agreement. The Grantee, if requested by the Company and the lead underwriter of any public offering of the Common Stock (the “Lead Underwriter”), hereby irrevocably agrees not to sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, transfer the economic risk of ownership in, make any short sale of, pledge or otherwise transfer or dispose of any interest in any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or any other rights to purchase or acquire Common Stock (except Common Stock included in such public offering or acquired on the public market after such offering) during the 180-day period following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or such shorter period of time as the Lead Underwriter shall specify. The Grantee further agrees to sign such documents as may be requested by the Lead Underwriter to effect the foregoing and agrees that the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to such Common Stock subject to the lock-up period until the end of such period. The Company and the Grantee acknowledge that each Lead Underwriter of a public offering of the Company’s stock, during the period of such offering and for the 180-day period thereafter, is an intended beneficiary of this Section 18.
          (b) No Amendment Without Consent of Underwriter. During the period from identification of a Lead Underwriter in connection with any public offering of the Company’s Common Stock until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the lock-up period specified in Section 18(a) in connection with such offering or (ii) the abandonment of such offering by the Company and the Lead Underwriter, the provisions of this Section 18 may not be amended or waived except with the consent of the Lead Underwriter.
     19. Entire Agreement: Governing Law. The Notice, the Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Grantee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Grantee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and the Grantee. Nothing in the Notice, the Plan and this Option Agreement (except as expressly provided therein) is intended to confer any rights or remedies on any persons other than the parties. The Notice, the Plan and this Option Agreement are to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of California to the rights and duties of the parties. Should any provision of the Notice, the Plan or this Option Agreement be determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be enforced to the fullest extent allowed by law and the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain enforceable.
     20. Headings. The captions used in the Notice and this Option Agreement are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed a part of the Option for construction or interpretation.

     21. Dispute Resolution. The provisions of this Section 21 shall be the exclusive means of resolving disputes arising out of or relating to the Notice, the Plan and this Option Agreement. The Company, the Grantee, and the Grantee’s assignees (the “parties”) shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disputes arising out of or relating to the Notice, the Plan and this Option Agreement by negotiation between individuals who have authority to settle the controversy. Negotiations shall be commenced by either party by notice of a written statement of the party’s position and the name and title of the individual who will represent the party. Within thirty (30) days of the written notification, the parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to resolve the dispute. If the dispute has not been resolved by negotiation, the parties agree that any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notice, the Plan or this Option Agreement shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (or should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action, suit or proceeding, in a California state court in the County of San Francisco) and that the parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection the party may have to the laying of venue for any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court. THE PARTIES ALSO EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY HAVE OR MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. If any one or more provisions of this Section 21 shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, it is the specific intent of the parties that such provisions shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it or its application valid and enforceable.
     22. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery, upon deposit for delivery by an internationally recognized express mail courier service or upon deposit in the United States mail by certified mail (if the parties are within the United States), with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other party at its address as shown in these instruments, or to such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the other party.

     1. Effective as of today,                     , the undersigned (the “Grantee”) hereby elects to exercise the Grantee’s option to purchase                      shares of the Common Stock (the “Shares”) of Discovery Mining, Inc. (the “Company”) under and pursuant to the Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”) and the Non-Qualified Stock Option Award Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) and Notice of Stock Option Award (the “Notice”) dated                     ,                     . Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Exercise Notice.
     2. Representations of the Grantee. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has received, read and understood the Notice, the Plan and the Option Agreement and agrees to abide by and be bound by their terms and conditions.
     3. Rights as Stockholder. Until the stock certificate evidencing such Shares is issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such stock certificate promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 10 of the Plan.
     The Grantee shall enjoy rights as a stockholder until such time as the Grantee disposes of the Shares or the Company and/or its assignee(s) exercises the Right of First Refusal or the Repurchase Right. Upon such exercise, the Grantee shall have no further rights as a holder of the Shares so purchased except the right to receive payment for the Shares so purchased in accordance with the provisions of the Option Agreement, and the Grantee shall forthwith cause the certificate(s) evidencing the Shares so purchased to be surrendered to the Company for transfer or cancellation.
     4. Delivery of Payment.

     6. Taxes. The Grantee agrees to satisfy all applicable federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding obligations and herewith delivers to the Company the full amount of such obligations or has made arrangements acceptable to the Company to satisfy such obligations. In the case

1


 

of an Incentive Stock Option, the Grantee also agrees, as partial consideration for the designation of the Option as an Incentive Stock Option, to notify the Company in writing within thirty (30) days of any disposition of any shares acquired by exercise of the Option if such disposition occurs within two (2) years from the Date of Award or within one (1) year from the date the Shares were transferred to the Grantee. If the Company is required to satisfy any federal, state or local income or employment tax withholding obligations as a result of such an early disposition, the Grantee agrees to satisfy the amount of such withholding in a manner that the Administrator prescribes.
     7. Restrictive Legends. The Grantee understands and agrees that the Company shall cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares together with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by state or federal securities laws:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER, A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND A REPURCHASE RIGHT HELD BY THE ISSUER OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN THE OPTION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER.

Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Exercise Notice shall be binding upon the Grantee and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
     9. Headings. The captions used in this Exercise Notice are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed a part of this agreement for construction or interpretation.
     10. Dispute Resolution. The provisions of Section 21 of the Option Agreement shall be the exclusive means of resolving disputes arising out of or relating to this Exercise Notice.
     11. Governing Law; Severability. This Exercise Notice is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of California to the rights and duties of the parties.

AMOUNT:
       
 
 
 
   
 
       
DATE:
       
 
 
 
   
In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Grantee represents to the Company the following:
     (a) Grantee is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Grantee is acquiring these Securities for investment for Grantee’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
     (b) Grantee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon among other things, the bona fide nature of Grantee’s investment intent as expressed herein. Grantee further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Grantee further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Grantee understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company.
     (c) Grantee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to the Grantee, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being

4


 

sold during any three month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.
     In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the Securities less than two (2) years, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.
     (d) Grantee further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Grantee understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.
     (e) Grantee represents that Grantee is a resident of the state of                     .

Nothing in this Notice or in the attached Stock Option Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Grantee any right to continue in Continuous Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Related Entity employing or retaining Grantee) or of Grantee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved

 


 

by each, to terminate Grantee’s Continuous Service at any time for any reason, with or without Cause.

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Recitals
A. Grantee is to render valuable services to the Company (or any Related Entity), and this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the Company’s grant of an option to Grantee.
B. All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in this Agreement, the attached Notice of Grant of Stock Option (the “Notice”), or the Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:
     1. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to Grantee, as of the Grant Date, an option to purchase up to the number of Shares specified in the Notice. The Shares subject to the Option shall be purchasable from time to time during the Option term specified in Section 2 below at the Exercise Price specified in the Notice.
     2. Option Term. This Option shall have a maximum term of nine (9) years measured from the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at the close of business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner exercised or expired as to all of the Shares in accordance with Section 4 below or unless sooner terminated in accordance with Section 5 or 6 herein.
     3. Limited Transferability. This Option may, in connection with the Grantee’s estate plan and only to the extent permitted by applicable laws, regulations and rules, be assigned in whole or in part during Grantee’s lifetime to one or more members of the Grantee’s Immediate Family. The assigned portion shall be exercisable only by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the Option pursuant to such assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for this Option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Company may deem appropriate. Should the Grantee die while holding this Option, then this Option shall be transferred in accordance with Grantee’s will or the laws of descent and distribution.
     4. Dates of Exercise. This Option shall vest and become exercisable for the Shares subject thereto in one or more installments as specified in the Notice. As the Option becomes exercisable for such installments, those installments shall accumulate and the Option shall remain exercisable for the accumulated installments until the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date, (ii) March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such installment first becomes exercisable, and (iii) termination of the Option term under Section 5 or 6 herein.
     5. Cessation of Continuous Service. The Option term specified in Section 2 above shall terminate (and this Option shall cease to be outstanding) prior to the Expiration Date should any of the following provisions become applicable:
          (i) Should Grantee cease to remain in Continuous Service for any reason (other than death, Disability or Cause) while this Option is outstanding, then Grantee’s right to exercise this Option shall lapse, and this Option shall cease to be outstanding, upon the earlier of (A) the date that is three (3) months following the date of such cessation of Continuous Service, (B) March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the right to exercise for a given Share first became exercisable or (C) the Expiration Date.

 


 

          (ii) If Grantee dies while this Option is outstanding, then the personal representative of Grantee’s estate or the person or persons to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to Grantee’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution shall have the right to exercise this Option. Such right shall lapse, and this Option shall cease to be outstanding, upon the earlier of (A) March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the right to exercise for a given Share becomes exercisable following Grantee’s death or (B) the Expiration Date.
          (iii) Should Grantee cease Continuous Service by reason of Disability while this Option is outstanding, then Grantee’s right to exercise this Option shall lapse, and this Option shall cease to be outstanding, upon the earlier of (A) March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the right to exercise for a given Share becomes exercisable following Grantee’s cessation of Continuous Service by reason of Disability or (B) the Expiration Date.
          (iv) Grantee’s date of cessation of Continuous Service shall mean the date upon which Grantee ceases active performance of services for the Company following the provision of such notification of termination or resignation from Continuous Service and shall be determined solely by this Agreement and without reference to any other agreement, written or oral, including Grantee’s contract of employment, and shall not otherwise include any period of notice of termination of employment, whether expressed or implied.
          (v) During the limited period of post-Continuous Service exercisability, this Option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of vested Shares for which the Option is exercisable at the time of Grantee’s cessation of Continuous Service. Upon the expiration of such limited exercise period or (if earlier) upon the Expiration Date, this Option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested Shares for which the Option has not been exercised. However, this Option shall, immediately upon Grantee’s cessation of Continuous Service for any reason, terminate and cease to be outstanding with respect to any Shares in which Grantee is not otherwise at that time vested or for which this Option is not otherwise at that time exercisable.
          (vi) Should Grantee’s Continuous Service be terminated for Cause or should Grantee otherwise engage in activities constituting Cause while this Option is outstanding, then this Option shall terminate immediately and cease to remain outstanding. In the event Grantee’s Continuous Service with the Company is suspended pending an investigation of whether Grantee’s Continuous Service will be terminated for Cause, all Grantee’s rights under the Option, including the right to exercise the Option, shall be suspended during the investigation period.
     6. Accelerated Termination of Option. This Option shall automatically terminate immediately prior to the effective date of a Corporate Transaction; however no such termination of this Option shall occur if and to the extent this Option is, in connection with a Corporate Transaction, either assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or replaced with a comparable option to purchase shares of the capital stock of the successor corporation (or parent thereof). The determination of option comparability shall be made by the Administrator, and such determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.
     7. Adjustment in Shares. In the event of any change in capitalization of the Company, the Shares subject to the Option shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 10 of the Plan.
     8. Shareholder Rights. The holder of this Option shall not have any shareholder

 


 

rights with respect to the Shares until such person shall have exercised the Option, paid the Exercise Price and become a holder of record of the purchased Shares.
     9. Manner of Exercising Option.
          (a) In order to exercise this Option with respect to all or any part of the Shares for which this Option is at the time exercisable, Grantee (or any other person or persons exercising the Option) must take the following actions:
               (i) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased Shares in one or more of the following forms:
                    (A) cash or check made payable to a Company-designated brokerage firm or the Company; or
                    (B) as permitted by applicable law, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which Grantee (or any other person or persons exercising the Option) shall concurrently provide irrevocable written instructions (I) to a Company-designated brokerage firm (or in the case of an executive officer or Board member of the Company, an Grantee-designated brokerage firm) to effect the immediate sale of the purchased Shares and remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased Shares plus, if applicable, the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligations at the minimum statutory withholding rates and (II) to the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction.
               (ii) Furnish to the Company appropriate documentation that the person or persons exercising the Option (if other than Grantee) have the right to exercise this Option.
               (iii) Make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Grantee) for the satisfaction of all tax withholding requirements applicable to the Option exercise.
          (b) As soon as practical after the exercise date, the Company shall issue to or on behalf of Grantee (or any other person or persons exercising this Option) the purchased Shares (as evidenced by an appropriate entry on the books of the Company or a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), with the appropriate legends affixed thereto.
          (c) In no event may this Option be exercised for any fractional Shares.
          (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary, if at the time this Option is exercised, Grantee is indebted to the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary) for any reason, the following actions shall be taken, as deemed appropriate by the Administrator:
               (i) any Shares to be issued upon such exercise shall automatically be pledged against Grantee’s outstanding indebtedness; and
               (ii) if this Option is exercised in accordance with Section 9(a)(i)(B) above, the after tax proceeds of the sale of Grantee’s Shares shall automatically be applied to the

 


 

outstanding balance of Grantee’s indebtedness.

          (a) The exercise of this Option and the issuance of the Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance by the Company and Grantee with all applicable laws, regulations and rules relating thereto, including all applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or The NASDAQ Global Market, if applicable) on which the Shares may be listed for trading at the time of such exercise and issuance.
          (b) The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares pursuant to this Option shall relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Shares as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Company, however, shall use its best efforts to obtain all such approvals.
     11. Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Sections 3 and 6 herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and Grantee, Grantee’s assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Grantee’s estate.

     13. Construction. The Notice, this Agreement, and the Option evidenced hereby (a) are made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to the terms of the Plan, and (b) constitute the entire agreement between Grantee and the Company on the subject matter hereof and supercede all proposals, written or oral, an all other communications between the parties related to the subject matter.

     15. Excess Shares. If the Shares covered by this Agreement exceed, as of the Grant Date, the number of Shares which may without shareholder approval be issued under the Plan, then this Option shall be void with respect to those excess shares, unless shareholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of Shares issuable under the Plan is obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and all applicable laws, regulations and rules.
     16. Leave of Absence. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the following provisions shall apply upon the Grantee’s commencement of an authorized leave of absence:

reserve the right to terminate the Continuous Service of Grantee at any time, with or without Cause, and for any reason, subject to applicable laws, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and a written employment agreement (if any), and Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any claim to damages or specific performance for breach of contract or dismissal, compensation for loss of office, tort or otherwise with respect to the Plan, this Option or any outstanding Award that is forfeited and/or is terminated by its terms or to any future Award.
          (c) Grantee agrees that the Company may require Options granted hereunder be exercised with, and the Shares held by, a broker designated by the Company.

Discovery Mining, Inc. Option Assumption Agreement
August      , 2008
Dear «First_Name» «Last_Name»:
As you know, on August 1, 2008 (the “Effective Time”), Interwoven, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Interwoven”), completed its acquisition of Discovery Mining, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Discovery Mining”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 23, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Discovery Mining merged with and into Presidio Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Interwoven (the “Acquisition”) with Discovery Mining surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Interwoven (the “Merger”). The purpose of this notice is to inform you of how your options to purchase Common Stock of Discovery Mining (the “Discovery Mining Options”), granted under the Discovery Mining 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Option Plan”), will be treated in connection with the Acquisition.
Acceleration
Immediately prior to the completion of the Acquisition, each of your outstanding and unvested Discovery Mining Options other than any (1) New Company Option that you were granted in connection with the Acquisition (as defined in your Interwoven offer letter or Employment Agreement) or (2) any Discovery Mining Options subject to any Benefits Waiver or Equity Agreement (both as defined in the Merger Agreement), shall be fully accelerated.
Cash-Out of Vested Options
Upon the completion of the Acquisition, your Discovery Mining Options that were outstanding and vested (including those Discovery Mining Options that fully accelerate as described above, which for the sake of clarity, does not include your New Company Option, or any Discovery Mining Options subject to any Benefits Waiver or Equity Agreement) were automatically converted into the right to receive an amount of cash (without interest) equal to the product of (1) $6.67071, the Common Cash Amount Per Share (as defined in the Merger Agreement) minus the exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to such Discovery Mining Options multiplied by (2) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Discovery Mining Options (subject to applicable tax withholdings and deductions for the Escrow Cash and Expense Funds (both as defined in the Merger Agreement) and rounded to the nearest cent). This cash amount is referred to as the “Cash-Out”. You will receive a “Letter of Transmittal” instructing you how to receive the Cash-Out.

 


 

Assumption & Conversion of Unvested Options
Upon the completion of the Acquisition, your Discovery Mining Options that were outstanding and unvested (including your New Company Option and any Discovery Mining Options subject to any Benefits Waiver or Equity Agreement) were assumed by Interwoven and converted into options to purchase shares of Interwoven’s Common Stock pursuant to a conversion ratio intended to preserve the economic value of your Discovery Mining Options that existed immediately prior to the Acquisition (the “Assumed Options”). Each Assumed Option will continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions of the Option Plan and any applicable option agreements to which they were subject prior to the completion of the Acquisition (including the existing term and vesting schedule) except as set forth in this notice or an applicable Equity Agreement.
Your outstanding and unvested Discovery Mining Options were converted into Assumed Options as follows: (i) each Assumed Option will be exercisable (when vested) for that number of whole shares of Interwoven Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Discovery Mining Common Stock subject to such Discovery Mining Options immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Acquisition by the Option Exchange Ratio (as defined below) (rounded down to the nearest whole number of Interwoven Common Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding) and (ii) the exercise price per share of each such Discovery Mining Option will equal the exercise price of each such Discovery Mining Option immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Acquisition divided by the Option Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent).
The “Option Exchange Ratio” is 0.515431, which is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) $6.67071, the Common Cash Amount Per Share by (b) $12.942, the which is the average closing price of Interwoven Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on (and inclusive of) the signing of the Acquisition.
The table below summarizes your assumed Discovery Mining Options immediately before and after the Acquisition. It reflects the conversion of your Discovery Mining Options using the Option Exchange Ratio. By signing below, you hereby agree that the Discovery Mining Options listed below represent all of your outstanding and unvested Discovery Mining Options as of the date hereof and that you have no further right or claim to any Discovery Mining Options (except for your Discovery Mining Options that are being Cashed-Out as set forth above).

Exercise of Assumed Options
In accordance with Interwoven’s policies, the only permissible methods to exercise your Assumed Options are cash, check, wire transfer, or through a cashless exercise program with eTrade, Interwoven’s designated broker. None of the Assumed Options may be “early exercised” (i.e., an Assumed Option may be exercised for shares of Interwoven Common Stock only to the extent the Assumed Option is vested at

 


 

the time of exercise pursuant to the applicable vesting schedule). Upon termination of your employment you will have the applicable limited post-termination exercise period specified in your option agreements for your Assumed Option.
Unless the context otherwise requires, on and following the assumption of your Discovery Mining Options as described above, any references in the Option Plan and the option agreements to: (i) the “Company” or the “Corporation” means Interwoven, (ii) “Stock”, “Common Stock” or “Shares” means shares of Interwoven Common Stock, (iii) the “Board of Directors”, the “Board” or the “Management Committee” means the Board of Directors of Interwoven and (iv) the “Committee” means the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Interwoven. All references in the option agreements and the Option Plan relating to your status as an employee of Discovery Mining will now refer to your status as an employee of Interwoven or any present or future Interwoven subsidiary.
