Vesting Schedule for Performance Option: Subject to the Optionholders Continuous Service on each applicable vesting date, 1/3rd of the Shares subject to the Option shall be eligible to vest (the Eligible Shares) upon the achievement of the applicable EBITA Target for each of fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015. The percentage of the Eligible Shares that shall vest in each of fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015 shall be determined in accordance with the table below, subject to linear interpolation for EBITA achievement which falls in between the percentages below; provided, that there shall be no linear interpolation for EBITA achievement that is less than 90%:
EBITA Achievement |
Percentage of Eligible Shares that Vest Upon Attainment of Applicable EBITA Target | |
90% |
50% | |
95% |
75% | |
100% |

³ 105% |

The EBITA Targets shall be as follows, subject to adjustment by the Board as described below:
FY 2013 |
FY 2014 |
FY 2015 | ||
$82,000,000 |
$83,000,000 | $88,000,000 |
The EBITA Targets shall be adjusted by the Board in good faith to reflect each acquisition or disposition by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any business, operation, entity, division or any portion thereof or any assets outside the ordinary course of business. Any such adjustment shall be (i) based on the projections utilized by the Board in good faith in connection with the Boards approval of any such acquisition or disposition and reflect the projected impact of such acquisition or disposition on EBITA (including any impact resulting from purchase accounting) (it being understood that prior to utilizing any such projections in connection with any such approval the Board shall consult with, and consider in good faith the comments of, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer with respect to such projections) and (ii) final and binding on all persons so long as it was
made in good faith. With respect to the table above, each fiscal year of the Company shall end on January 31, unless the Board shall otherwise adjust the Companys fiscal year, in which event the Board shall in good faith adjust the EBITA Targets. With respect to each fiscal year, the determination of EBITA shall be made by the Board (or any committee delegated such authority by the Board) promptly after the independent auditors of the Company have delivered their audit report with respect to such fiscal year to the Board and will be based upon the financial information reflected in such audited financial statements.
For these purposes:
EBITA will equal, for any fiscal year, the Net Profit (Loss) (as defined below) of the Company for such period, plus, to the extent deducted in determining such Net Profit (Loss) and without duplication, (i) consolidated income tax expense of the Company, (ii) Net Interest Expense (as defined below), (iii) consolidated amortization expense of the Company, (iv) any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring non-cash expenses or losses (including, whether or not otherwise includible as a separate item in the statement of such Net Profit (Loss) for such period, non-cash losses on sales of assets outside the ordinary course of business), (v) any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring severance expenses, (vi) stock-based compensation expense recognized under FAS 123(R), (vii) management fees payable to any Affiliate of Silver Lake Partners II, L.P., (viii) all expenses incurred in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 11, 2005, by and between Spyglass Merger Corp. and the Company and the consummation of the transactions related thereto (including the financing thereof and all transaction-related consulting, advisory and other expenses incurred prior to the completion of the first quarter of FY2007), and (ix) any fees and expenses incurred in connection with (A) the incurrence or issuance or repayment, redemption or repurchase of any indebtedness for money borrowed or (B) any equity financing, and minus to the extent included in determining such Net Profit (Loss) for such period and without duplication (x) any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring non-cash gains or income and (y) investment income or gains; and in all cases subject to such other adjustments, without duplication, as are provided for in the definition of Consolidated EBITDA in the Credit Agreement by and among the Company and the several lenders from time to time party thereto dated as March 10, 2006, as amended from time to time, excluding any such adjustments related to depreciation.
GAAP means generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America as in effect from time to time.
Net Interest Expense means, for any period, the sum of (i) consolidated interest expense of the Company plus (ii) consolidated interest income of the Company, in each case for such period and determined in accordance with GAAP.
Net Profit (Loss) means, for any period, the consolidated net income or loss of the Company for such period determined in accordance with GAAP, provided that Net Profit (Loss) shall exclude (i) the cumulative effect of any change in GAAP during such period and (ii) any effect from the early extinguishment of indebtedness, hedging obligations or other derivative instruments.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control or an Initial Public Offering where the price per Share (as determined by the Board in good faith, as adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, reorganizations, reclassifications or similar transactions, in accordance with the Plan) is valued at greater than $3.00 per Share (a Liquidity Event) at the time of such Liquidity Event, a percentage of the portion of the Performance Option that is unvested as of immediately prior to the Liquidity Event will automatically vest and become exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such Liquidity Event. The percentage that vests shall be determined in accordance with the following schedule, subject to linear interpolation for per Share values which fall between the values set forth below. Any Shares subject to the Performance Option that have not become vested upon the occurrence of the Liquidity Event shall remain subject to the performance-based vesting schedule described above.

33.3% | |
$3.50 |

$3.75 |

For purposes of the preceding paragraph, the term Initial Public Offering shall mean an initial public offering of the Company of at least 25% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or that results in gross proceeds to the Company equal to or greater than $25,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, any subsequent public offering of the Company will be combined with the Initial Public Offering of the Company in order to determine whether the 25% threshold contained in the preceding sentence has been surpassed.
V. Payment: By cash or check (unless otherwise permitted by the Board).
VI. Additional Terms/Acknowledgements: The undersigned Optionholder acknowledges receipt of, and understands and agrees to, this Grant Notice, the Stock Option Agreement and the Plan.

SERENA SOFTWARE, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
(Time and Performance Option)
Pursuant to your Stock Option Grant Notice (Grant Notice) and this Stock Option Agreement, Serena Software, Inc. (the Company) has granted you a stock option under its Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the Plan) to purchase the number of shares of the Companys Common Stock indicated in your Grant Notice at the exercise price indicated in your Grant Notice. Capitalized terms not defined in this Stock Option Agreement or in the Grant Notice but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms and conditions of the Grant Notice are a part of the Stock Option Agreement, unless otherwise specified.
The details and terms and conditions of this Stock Option Agreement shall govern your Option, notwithstanding any less favorable terms and conditions on the same matter set forth in the Plan (subject, however, to Section 15 hereof):
1. Vesting.
(a) Subject to the limitations contained herein, your Option will vest as set forth in your Grant Notice, provided that vesting will cease upon the termination of your Continuous Service.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Stock Option Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control, (i) the Time Option shall, to the extent not then vested and not previously cancelled, become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control and (ii) the Performance Option shall, to the extent not then vested and not previously cancelled, become fully vested and exercisable in the event that your Continuous Service is terminated by the Company (or its successor in interest) without Cause, or as a result of your resignation for Good Reason, during the twelve-month period following a Change in Control, upon the date of such termination or resignation, as applicable.
2. Number of Shares and Exercise Price. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to your Option and your exercise price per share referenced in your Grant Notice may be adjusted from time to time for various adjustments in the Companys equity capital structure, as provided in the Plan.
3. Method of Payment.
(a) Payment of the exercise price is due in full upon exercise of all or any part of your Option. You may elect to make payment of the exercise price in cash or by check. Alternatively, provided that at the time of exercise there is a public market for the shares of Common Stock, your exercise may be implemented pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds. Notwithstanding the terms of the previous sentence, you may not be permitted to exercise your Option pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board if such exercise would violate the provisions of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
4
(b) You may elect to make payment of the exercise price, in whole or in part, in shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the aggregate exercise price or such portion thereof, as applicable; provided, however, that you must satisfy all such requirements as may be imposed by the Board including without limitation that you have held such shares for not less than six months (or such other period as established from time to time by the Board in order to avoid a supplemental charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes).
(c) Where you elect to pay the exercise price of an Option and/or taxes relating to the exercise of an Option by delivering shares of Common Stock, you may, subject to procedures satisfactory to the Board, satisfy such delivery requirement by presenting proof that you are the Beneficial Owner of such shares of Common Stock, in which case the Company shall treat the Option as exercised without further payment and shall withhold such number of shares from the Shares acquired by the exercise of the Option.
(d) The Company may permit you to make payment of the exercise price in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board in its sole discretion.
4. Whole Shares. You may exercise your Option only for whole shares of Common Stock.
5. Compliance.
(a) Securities Law Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not exercise your Option unless the Shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise are then registered under the Securities Act or, if such Shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The exercise of your Option must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing your Option, and you may not exercise your Option if the Company determines that such exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.
(b) Plan Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not exercise your Option if the terms of the Plan do not permit the exercise of Options, or if the Company exercises its rights under the Plan to suspend, delay or restrict the exercise of Options.
6. Term. You may not exercise your Option before the commencement of its term on the Date of Grant or after its term expires. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Stock Option Agreement, you may exercise all or any part of the vested portion of the Option at any time prior to the earliest to occur of:
(a) the date on which your Continuous Service is terminated for Cause;
(b) three (3) months after you terminate your Continuous Service by resigning without Good Reason;
5
(c) twelve (12) months after the termination of your Continuous Service without Cause or after you terminate your Continuous Service by resigning for Good Reason;
(d) twelve (12) months after the termination of your Continuous Service due to your Disability;
(e) twelve (12) months after the termination of your Continuous Service due to your death; or
(f) the Expiration Date indicated in the Grant Notice.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of your Option is prevented within the applicable time periods set forth in Sections 6(b), (c) or (d) for any reason, your Option shall not expire before the date that is thirty (30) days after the date that you are notified by the Company that the Option is again exercisable, but in any event no later than the Expiration Date indicated in your Grant Notice.
7. Exercise Procedures.
(a) Subject to Section 5 above and other relevant terms and conditions of the Plan and this Stock Option Agreement, you may exercise the vested portion of your Option during its term by delivering a Notice of Exercise (in a form designated by the Company) together with the exercise price to the Companys Chief Financial Officer, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the Company may then reasonably require.
(b) By exercising your Option you agree that, as a condition to any exercise of your Option, the Company may require you to enter into an arrangement providing for the payment by you to the Company of any tax withholding obligation of the Company (including any Affiliate) arising by reason of (i) the exercise of your Option, or (ii) other applicable events.
(c) By exercising your Option you agree that, as a condition to any exercise of your Option, you and your spouse, if requested by the Company, contemporaneously with the exercise of your Option and prior to the issuance of any certificate representing the Shares of Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of your Option, shall execute the Management Stockholders Agreement, including any and all amendments to such agreement in effect at the time of such exercise.
(d) By exercising your Option you agree that the Company (or a representative of the underwriter(s)) may, in connection with the first underwritten registration of the offering of any equity securities of the Company under the Securities Act (or any underwritten registration of any securities of the Company prior to that time), require that for a specified period of time, you not sell, dispose of, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company held by you. You further agree to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company and/or the underwriter(s) that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to your shares of Common Stock
6
until the end of such period. The underwriters of the Companys stock are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 7(d) and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.
(e) As a condition of any exercise of your Option, you and your spouse, if any, agree that prior to the effectiveness of the first underwritten registration of the Companys equity securities under the Securities Act, you shall not transfer any or all of the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of your Option unless permitted to do so under the terms of the Plan or the Management Stockholders Agreement.
8. Documents Governing Issued Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock that you acquire upon exercise of your Option are subject to the terms of the Plan, the Companys bylaws, the Companys certificate of incorporation, any agreement relating to such shares of Common Stock to which you become a party, or any other similar document. You should ensure that you understand your rights and obligations as a stockholder of the Company prior to the time that you exercise your Option.
9. Limitations on Transfer of Options. Your Option is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during your life only by you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, you may designate a third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise your Option.
10. Rights Upon Exercise. You will not have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to the Option until you have given written notice of the exercise of the Option, paid in full for such Shares and, if applicable, satisfied any other conditions imposed by the Board pursuant to the Plan.
11. Option Not a Service Contract. Your Option is not an employment contract, and nothing in your Option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or of the Company or any of its Affiliates to continue your employment. In addition, nothing in your Option shall obligate the Company or any of its Affiliates, their respective stockholders, Boards of Directors, officers or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a Director or Consultant or otherwise for the Company or any of its Affiliates.
12. Withholding Obligations and Notice Requirement.
(a) At the time you exercise your Option, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for (including by means of a same day sale program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board to the extent permitted by the Company and applicable law, including, but not limited to, Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or any of its Affiliates, which arise in connection with your Option.
(b) You may not exercise your Option unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied or appropriate arrangements (acceptable to the Company) are made therefor.
7
13. Notices. Any notices provided for in your Option or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt, or in the case of notices delivered by mail to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail (or with another delivery service), certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company.
14. Signature in Counterparts. This Stock Option Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
15. Option Subject to Plan Document. By entering into this Stock Option Agreement, you agree and acknowledge that you have received and read a copy of the Plan and Management Stockholders Agreement. The Option is subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan and the Management Stockholders Agreement and such terms and provisions are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of the Plan or the Management Stockholders Agreement, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan or Management Stockholders Agreement, as applicable, will govern and prevail. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision of the Plan and any term or provision of the Management Stockholders Agreement, the applicable terms and provisions of the Management Stockholders Agreement will govern and prevail.

By this exercise, I agree (i) to execute or provide such additional documents as Serena Software, Inc. (the Company) may reasonably require pursuant to the terms of this Notice of Exercise and the Companys Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan), and (ii) to provide for the payment by me to the Company (in the manner designated by the Company) of the Companys withholding obligation, if any, relating to the exercise of this Option.
I hereby make the following certifications and representations with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company listed above (the Shares):
I am aware that my investment in the Company is a speculative investment that has limited liquidity and is subject to the risk of complete loss. I am able, without impairing my financial condition, to hold the Shares for an indefinite period and to suffer a complete loss of my investment in the Shares.
I represent and warrant to the Company that I am acquiring and will hold the Shares for investment for my account only, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) or the similar laws of any state or foreign jurisdiction.
I understand that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or under the similar laws of any state or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, Applicable Securities Laws) by reason of a specific exemption therefrom and
that the Shares must be held indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the Applicable Securities Laws or I obtain an opinion of counsel (in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel) that registration is not required.
I acknowledge that the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares under Applicable Securities Laws.
I am aware of the adoption of Rule 144 by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, which permits limited public resales of securities acquired in a non-public offering, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. These conditions may include (without limitation) that certain current public information about the issuer is available, that the resale occurs only after the holding period required by Rule 144 has been satisfied, that the sale occurs through an unsolicited brokers transaction and that the amount of securities being sold during any three-month period does not exceed specified limitations. I understand that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the Company has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future.
I will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Shares in violation of the Plan, the agreement under which my right to acquire the Shares was granted, Applicable Securities Laws, or the rules promulgated thereunder, including Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
I acknowledge that I have received and had access to such information as I consider necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to invest in the Shares and that I had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the issuance of the Shares. I specifically acknowledge that I have reviewed or had the opportunity to review (i) the Plan, (ii) a summary of the Plan, and (iii) financial information and risk factors related to the Company and an investment in the Shares, including, without limitation, the Companys most recent annual, quarterly and current reports, which are available from the Securities and Exchange Commissions website at www.sec.gov.
I acknowledge that the Shares will be subject to certain encumbrances, including, but not limited to, drag along rights in favor of certain stockholders of the Company, repurchase rights in favor of the Company, limitations on transfer, and other encumbrances set forth in the Plan, Stock Option Agreement, Management Stockholders Agreement and other applicable agreements and/or described in the Companys bylaws or certificate of incorporation in effect at such time as the Company or such other person elects to exercise its or his right.
I acknowledge that I am acquiring the Shares subject to all other terms of the Plan, the Stock Option Grant Notice, the Stock Option Agreement and the Management Stockholders Agreement.
I further agree that if required by the Company (or a representative of the underwriter(s)) in connection with the first underwritten registration of the offering of any equity securities of the Company under the Securities Act (or any underwritten registration of any securities of the Company prior to that time), for a specified period of time, I will not sell, dispose of, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any Shares or other securities of the Company held by me. I further agree to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company and/or the underwriter(s) that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to my Shares until the end of such period.
2
I agree, and as a condition of exercise if I am married I will obtain the agreement of my spouse, that prior to the effectiveness of the first underwritten registration of the Companys equity securities under the Securities Act, I will not transfer any or all of the Shares unless pursuant to an exception provided in the Plan or the Stock Option Agreement.
I agree that as a condition to this exercise, the certificates evidencing the Shares shall remain in the physical custody of the Company or its designee at all times prior to the last to occur of (i) the date on which all contractual restrictions set forth in the Plan, the Companys Articles of Incorporation and/or bylaws, or in the documents evidencing the Stock Option Agreement lapse, or (ii) the date on which all contractual requirements set forth in the Plan, the Companys Articles of Incorporation and/or bylaws, or in the documents evidencing the Stock Option Agreement are satisfied. As a condition to this exercise I agree to execute three (3) copies of the Assignment Separate From Certificate (with date and number of Shares blank) substantially in the form attached to this Notice of Exercise as Attachment A, and two (2) copies of the Joint Escrow Instructions substantially in the form attached to this Notice of Exercise as Attachment B, and to deliver the same to the Company, along with such additional documents as the Company may require.
I further acknowledge that all certificates representing any of the Shares subject to the provisions of my Option shall have endorsed thereon appropriate legends reflecting the foregoing limitations, as well as any legends reflecting restrictions pursuant to the Companys Certificate of Incorporation, by-laws, and/or Applicable Securities Laws.

2
terms of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Agreement so that, after such adjustment, the Restricted Stock Units shall represent a right to receive the same consideration (or if such consideration is not available, other consideration of the same value) that the Participant would have received in connection with such recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, stock split or any similar change if the Participant had owned on the applicable record date a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Agreement prior to such adjustment.
9. No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall be interpreted or construed to confer upon the Participant any right to continued employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, nor shall this Agreement or the Plan interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate the Participants employment at any time for any reason whatsoever, whether or not with cause.

21. Successors in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any successor to the Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Participant or the Participants legal representatives. All obligations imposed upon the Participant and all rights granted to the Company under this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Participants heirs, executors, administrators and successors.
22. Administration. The Committee shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon the Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or the Restricted Stock Units. In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Committee under the Plan and this Agreement.

24. Limitation on Rights; No Right to Future Grants; Extraordinary Item of Compensation. By accepting this Agreement and the grant of the Restricted Stock Units contemplated hereunder, the Participant expressly acknowledges that: (a) the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (b) the grant of Restricted Stock Units is a one-time benefit that does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of restricted stock units, or benefits in lieu of restricted stock units; (c) all determinations with respect to future grants of restricted stock units, if any, including the grant date, the number of Shares granted and the restricted period, will be at the sole discretion of the Company or Committee; (d) the Participants participation in the Plan is voluntary; (e) the value of the Restricted Stock Units is an extraordinary item of compensation that is outside the scope of the Participants employment contract, if any, and nothing can or must automatically be
5
inferred from such employment contract or its consequences; (f) grants of restricted stock units are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose and are not to be used for calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, or end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments, and the Participant waives any claim on such basis; and (g) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. In addition, the Participant understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Participant will have no rights to compensation or damages related to restricted stock unit proceeds in consequence of the termination of the Participants employment for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 24 does not limit any contractual rights that the Participant may have pursuant to any other written agreement the Participant has previously entered into with the Company.
25. Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to be exempt from and/or comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and any regulations or other pronouncements promulgated thereunder (Section 409A). Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee shall have the right to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any respect as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with Section 409A, including, without limitation, by delaying the issuance of the Shares contemplated hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at the time of a Participants Separation from Service within the meaning of Section 409A, the Participant is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A and a delay in the issuance of Shares as a result of such Separation from Service is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, then the Committee shall delay such issuance until the date that is six months and one day following the Participants Separation from Service (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A). The Committee shall implement the provisions of this Section 25 in good faith; provided, that neither the Company, the Committee, the Board, nor any of the Companys or its subsidiaries or Affiliates employees or representatives shall have any liability to Participants with respect to this Section 25, including any liability to compensate the Participant for the delay in issuance (through payment of interest or otherwise).
26. Book Entry Delivery of Shares. Whenever reference in this Agreement is made to the issuance or delivery of certificates representing one or more Shares, the Company may elect to issue or deliver such Shares in book entry form in lieu of certificates.
27. Acceptance. This Agreement shall not be enforceable until it has been executed by the Participant.
