3.Stock Subject to the Plan.
(a)Stock Subject to the Plan.
The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be covered by Stock Incentive Awards granted under the Plan shall not exceed 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, subject to shareholder approval as required by applicable law and any securities exchange listing requirements. Out of such aggregate, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be covered by Options that are designated as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of section 422 of the Code shall not exceed 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The maximum number of shares referred to in the preceding sentences of this Section 0 shall in each case be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 0 and the following provisions of this Section 0. Of the shares described, one hundred percent may be delivered in connection with “full-value Awards,” meaning Stock Incentive Awards other than Options or stock appreciation rights. Shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares, shares purchased by the Company in the open market, or any combination of the preceding categories as the Committee determines in its sole discretion.
For purposes of the preceding paragraph, shares of Common Stock covered by Stock Incentive Awards shall only be counted as used to the extent they are actually issued and delivered to a Participant (or such Participant’s permitted transferees as described in the Plan) pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that if a Stock Incentive Award is settled for cash or if shares of Common Stock are withheld to pay the exercise price of an Option or to satisfy any tax withholding requirement in connection with a Stock Incentive Award, the shares issued (if any) in connection with such settlement, the shares in respect of which the Stock Incentive Award was cash-settled, and the shares withheld, will be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the number of shares of Common Stock that are available for delivery under the Plan. In addition, if shares of Common Stock are issued subject to conditions which may result in the forfeiture, cancellation, or return of such shares to the Company, any portion of the shares forfeited, cancelled or returned shall be treated as not issued pursuant to the Plan. In addition, if shares of Common Stock
3
owned by a Participant (or such Participant's permitted transferees as described in the Plan) are tendered (either actually or through attestation) to the Company in payment of any obligation in connection with a Stock Incentive Award, the number of shares tendered shall be added to the number of shares of Common Stock that are available for delivery under the Plan.
Shares of Common Stock covered by Stock Incentive Awards granted pursuant to the Plan in connection with the assumption, replacement, conversion, or adjustment of outstanding equity-based awards in the context of a corporate acquisition or merger shall not count as used under the Plan for purposes of this Section 0.
(b)Non-Employee Director Award Limits.
Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 0, the maximum aggregate value of cash compensation and grant date fair value (calculated in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) of Stock Incentive Awards granted under the Plan to any non-employee director in any calendar year shall not exceed $750,000; provided that such limit shall be $1,000,000 for the calendar year in which the non-employee director is initially appointed or elected to the Board of Directors.
4.Administration of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by a Committee of the Board of Directors consisting of two or more persons, each of whom qualifies as a “non-employee director” (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under section 16 of the Exchange Act) and as “independent” if required by any security exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, in each case if and to the extent required by applicable law or necessary to meet the requirements of such rule, section or listing requirement at the time of determination. If the Company does not have directors who meet the foregoing requirements the Board of Directors shall administer the Plan and act as the Committee. The Committee shall, consistent with the terms of the Plan, from time to time designate those individuals who shall be granted Stock Incentive Awards under the Plan and the amount, type, and other terms and conditions of such Stock Incentive Awards. All of the powers and responsibilities of the Committee under the Plan may be delegated by the Committee, in writing, to any subcommittee thereof, in which case the acts of such subcommittee shall be deemed to be acts of the Committee hereunder. The Committee may also from time to time authorize a subcommittee consisting of one or more members of the Board of Directors (including members who are employees of the Company) or employees of the Company to grant Stock Incentive Awards to persons who are not “executive officers” of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act), subject to such restrictions and limitations as the Committee may specify and to the requirements of NRS § 78.200; provided, however, that any such delegation shall specify the maximum number of shares subject to awards that may be granted by such subcommittee; and provided, further, that such delegation complies with all requirements of Nevada law, including NRS 78.138 regarding delegation of board authority
The Committee shall have full discretionary authority to administer the Plan, including discretionary authority to interpret and construe any and all provisions of the Plan and any Award Agreement thereunder, and to adopt, amend, and rescind from time to time such rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan, including rules and regulations related to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws and/or qualifying for preferred tax treatment under applicable foreign tax laws, as the Committee may deem
4
necessary or appropriate. Decisions of the Committee shall be final, binding, and conclusive on all parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the Committee may exercise all discretion granted to it under the Plan in a non-uniform manner among Participants.
The Committee may delegate the administration of the Plan to one or more officers or employees of the Company, and such administrator(s) may have the authority to execute and distribute Award Agreements, to maintain records relating to Stock Incentive Awards, to process or oversee the issuance of Common Stock under Stock Incentive Awards, to interpret and administer the terms of Stock Incentive Awards, and to take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate for the administration of the Plan and of Stock Incentive Awards under the Plan, provided that in no case shall any such administrator be authorized (i) to grant Stock Incentive Awards under the Plan (except in connection with any delegation made by the Committee pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 0), (ii) to take any action inconsistent with section 409A of the Code, or (iii) to take any action inconsistent with applicable provisions of Nevada Law. Any action by any such administrator within the scope of its delegation shall be deemed for all purposes to have been taken by the Committee and, except as otherwise specifically provided, references in this Plan to the Committee shall include any such administrator. The Committee and, to the extent it so provides, any subcommittee, shall have sole authority to determine whether to review any actions and/or interpretations of any such administrator, and if the Committee shall decide to conduct such a review, any such actions and/or interpretations of any such administrator shall be subject to approval, disapproval, or modification by the Committee.
On or after the date of grant of a Stock Incentive Award under the Plan, the Committee may (i) accelerate the date on which any such Stock Incentive Award becomes vested, exercisable, or transferable, as the case may be, (ii) extend the term of any such Stock Incentive Award, including, without limitation, extending the period following a termination of a Participant's Employment during which any such Stock Incentive Award may remain outstanding, (iii) waive any conditions to the vesting, exercisability, or transferability, as the case may be, of any such Stock Incentive Award or (iv) provide for the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to any such Stock Incentive Award; provided, that the Committee shall not have any such authority to the extent that the grant of such authority would cause any tax to become due under section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not reprice any stock option without the approval of the shareholders of Aibotics Inc.
No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action, omission, or determination relating to the Plan, and Aibotics Inc. shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other director or employee of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan has been delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Committee) arising out of any action, omission, or determination relating to the Plan, unless, in either case, such action, omission, or determination was taken or made by such member, director, or employee in bad faith and without reasonable belief that it was in the best interests of the Company.
5.Eligibility. The Persons who shall be eligible to receive Stock Incentive Awards pursuant to the Plan shall be those employees, non-employee directors, consultants and other selected
5
service providers of the Company whom the Committee shall select from time to time, including officers of Aibotics Inc., whether or not they are directors. Each Stock Incentive Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.
6.Options. The Committee may from time-to-time grant Options on such terms as it shall determine, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan. The Award Agreement shall clearly identify such Option as either an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of section 422 of the Code or as a non-qualified stock option.
(a)Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock covered by any Option shall be not less than one hundred percent of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date on which such Option is granted, other than assumptions in accordance with a corporate acquisition or merger as described in Section 0.
(b)Term and Exercise of Options.
(i)Each Option shall become vested and exercisable on such date or dates, during such period and for such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be determined by the Committee on or after the date such Option is granted; provided, however that no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date such Option is granted; and, provided, further, that each Option shall be subject to earlier termination, expiration, or cancellation as provided in the Plan or the Award Agreement.
(ii)Each Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part; provided, however that no partial exercise of an Option shall be for an aggregate exercise price of less than $1,000. The partial exercise of an Option shall not cause the expiration, termination, or cancellation of the remaining portion thereof.
(iii)An Option shall be exercised by such methods and procedures as the Committee determines from time to time, including without limitation through net physical settlement or other method of cashless exercise.
(c)Special Rules for Incentive Stock Options.
(i)The aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of Common Stock with respect to which “incentive stock options” (within the meaning of section 422 of the Code) are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year under the Plan and any other stock option plan of Aibotics Inc. or any of its “subsidiaries” (within the meaning of section 424 of the Code) shall not exceed $100,000. Such Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date on which each such stock option is granted. In the event that the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of Common Stock with respect to such incentive stock options exceeds $100,000, then incentive stock options granted hereunder to such Participant shall, to the extent and in the order required by regulations promulgated under the Code (or any other authority having the force of regulations), automatically be deemed to be non-qualified stock options, but all other terms and provisions of such stock options shall remain unchanged. In the absence of such regulations (and authority), or in the event such regulations (or authority) require or permit a designation of the Options which shall cease to constitute incentive stock options, incentive stock options granted hereunder shall, to the extent of such excess and in the order in
6
which they were granted, automatically be deemed to be non-qualified stock options, but all other terms and provisions of such stock options shall remain unchanged.
(ii)Incentive stock options may only be granted to individuals who are employees of the Company. No incentive stock option may be granted to an individual if, at the time of the proposed grant, such individual owns stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined Voting Power of all classes of stock of Aibotics Inc. or any of its “subsidiaries” (within the meaning of section 424 of the Code), unless (i) the exercise price of such incentive stock option is at least 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time such incentive stock option is granted and (ii) such incentive stock option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such incentive stock option is granted.
7.Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may from time-to-time grant equity-based or equity-related awards not otherwise described herein in such amounts and on such terms as it shall determine, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, each such Other Stock-Based Award may (i) involve the transfer of actual shares of Common Stock to Participants, either at the time of grant or thereafter, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of shares of Common Stock, (ii) be subject to performance-based and/or service-based conditions, (iii) be in the form of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, deferred share units, or share-denominated performance units, and (iv) be designed to comply with applicable laws of jurisdictions other than the United States; provided, that each Other Stock-Based Award shall be denominated in, or shall have a value determined by reference to, a number of shares of Common Stock that is specified at the time of the grant of such Stock Incentive Award.
8.Adjustment upon Certain Changes.
Subject to any action by the shareholders of Aibotics Inc. required by law, applicable tax rules or the rules of any exchange on which shares of common stock of Aibotics Inc. are listed for trading:
(a)Shares Available for Grants. In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination, or exchange of shares or similar corporate change, the maximum aggregate number or type of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Committee may grant Stock Incentive Awards, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be covered by Options that are designated as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of section 422 of the Code and the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Committee may grant Stock Incentive Awards to any individual Participant in any year and to any non-employee director shall be proportionately adjusted by the Committee in a manner consistent with such change. In the event of any change in the type or number of shares of Common Stock of Aibotics Inc. outstanding by reason of any other event or transaction, the Committee shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee,
7
make such adjustments to the type or number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Stock Incentive Awards may be granted.
(b)Increase or Decrease in Issued Shares Without Consideration. In the event of any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares of Common Stock or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the shares of Common Stock), or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares effected without receipt or payment of consideration by the Company, the Committee shall proportionately adjust the type or number of shares of Common Stock subject to each outstanding Stock Incentive Award and the exercise price per share of Common Stock of each such Stock Incentive Award in a manner that preserves the intrinsic value of such awards immediately before and after the adjustment.
(c)Certain Mergers and Other Transactions. In the event of any merger, consolidation, or similar transaction as a result of which the holders of shares of Common Stock receive consideration consisting exclusively of securities of the surviving corporation in such transaction, the Committee shall adjust each Stock Incentive Award outstanding on the date of such merger or consolidation so that it pertains and applies to the securities which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Incentive Award would have received in such merger or consolidation, with appropriate adjustments to the exercise price and other terms to preserve the intrinsic value of such awards.
In the event of (i) a dissolution or liquidation of Aibotics Inc., (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets (on a consolidated basis), (iii) a merger, consolidation, or similar transaction involving Aibotics Inc. in which the holders of shares of Common Stock receive securities and/or other property, including cash, other than shares of the surviving corporation in such transaction, the Committee shall have the power to, in its reasonable discretion:
(i)cancel, effective immediately prior to the occurrence of such event, each Stock Incentive Award (whether or not then exercisable or vested), and, in full consideration of such cancellation, pay to the Participant to whom such Stock Incentive Award was granted an amount in cash, for each share of Common Stock subject to such Stock Incentive Award, equal to the value, as determined by the Committee, of such Stock Incentive Award, provided that with respect to any outstanding Option such value shall be equal to the excess of (A) the value, as determined by the Committee, of the property (including cash) received by the holder of a share of Common Stock as a result of such event over (B) the exercise price of such Option; or
(ii)provide for the exchange of each Stock Incentive Award (whether or not then exercisable or vested) for a Stock Incentive Award with respect to (A) some or all of the property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Incentive Award would have received in such transaction or (B) securities of the acquiror or surviving entity and, incident thereto, make an equitable adjustment as determined by the Committee in the exercise price of the Stock Incentive Award, or the number of shares or amount of property subject to the Stock Incentive Award or provide for a payment (in cash or other property) to
8
the Participant to whom such Stock Incentive Award was granted in partial consideration for the exchange of the Stock Incentive Award.
(d)Other Changes. In the event of any change in the capitalization of Aibotics Inc., corporate change, corporate transaction or other event other than those specifically referred to in Sections 9(a), (b) or (c), the Committee shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, make such adjustments in the number and class of shares subject to Stock Incentive Awards outstanding on the date on which such change occurs and in such other terms of such Stock Incentive Awards as the Committee deems appropriate.
(e)No Other Rights. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or any Award Agreement, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividends or dividend equivalents, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of Aibotics Inc. or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no issuance by Aibotics Inc. of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares or amount of other property subject to, or the terms related to, any Stock Incentive Award.
(f)Savings Clause. No provision of this Section 0 shall be given effect to the extent that such provision would cause any tax to become due under section 409A of the Code.
9.Change in Control; Termination of Employment.
(a)Change in Control. The consequences of a Change in Control, if any, will be set forth in the Award Agreement. To the extent not specified in an Award Agreement, upon a Change in Control, the Committee shall have discretion to determine the treatment of outstanding Stock Incentive Awards, which may include acceleration of vesting, cash-out provisions, assumption or substitution by an acquirer, or termination of awards; provided, however, that (i) the Committee shall provide Participants with at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of any termination of awards, (ii) any such treatment shall comply with section 409A of the Code and shall not result in adverse tax consequences to Participants, and (iii) the Committee shall act in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties and shall not exercise its discretion in an arbitrary or capricious manner that would unfairly prejudice Participants' vested rights.
(b)Termination of Employment.
(i)Except as to any awards constituting stock rights not subject to section 409A of the Code, termination of Employment shall mean a separation from service within the meaning of section 409A of the Code, unless the Participant is retained as a consultant pursuant to a written agreement and such agreement provides otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall determine whether an authorized leave of absence, or absence in military or government service, shall constitute termination of Employment, provided that a Participant who is an employee will not be deemed to cease employment in the case of any leave of absence approved by the Company. Furthermore, no payment shall be made with respect to any Stock Incentive Awards under the Plan that are subject to
9
section 409A of the Code as a result of any such authorized leave of absence or absence in military or government service unless such authorized leave or absence constitutes a separation from service for purposes of section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
(ii)The Award Agreement shall specify the consequences with respect to such Stock Incentive Awards upon termination of Employment of the Participant holding the Stock Incentive Awards, including but not limited to the treatment of vested and unvested awards, exercise periods for vested options (which shall be no less than ninety (90) days following termination without cause and no less than twelve (12) months following termination due to death or disability), and any acceleration or forfeiture provisions. Any forfeiture provisions must be clearly disclosed to the Participant at the time of grant and shall comply with section 409A of the Code.
10.Rights Under the Plan. No Person shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by or relating to any Stock Incentive Award until the date of the issuance of such shares on the books and records of Aibotics Inc. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 0 hereof, no adjustment of any Stock Incentive Award shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date occurs prior to the date of such issuance. Nothing in this Section 0 is intended, or should be construed, to limit authority of the Committee to cause the Company to make payments based on the dividends that would be payable with respect to any share of Common Stock if it were issued or outstanding, or from granting rights related to such dividends.
The Company shall not have any obligation to establish any separate fund or trust or other segregation of assets to provide for payments under the Plan; provided, however, that the Company may elect to establish such arrangements at its discretion. To the extent any person acquires any rights to receive payments hereunder from the Company, such rights shall be no greater than those of an unsecured general creditor, except as may be required by applicable law or as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of the Company's bankruptcy or insolvency, vested awards that have been earned through completed service shall be treated as priority wage claims to the maximum extent permitted under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 608 and applicable federal bankruptcy law.
11.No Special Employment Rights; No Right to Stock Incentive Awards.
(a)Nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall confer upon any Participant any right with respect to the continuation of his or her Employment by the Company or interfere in any way with the right of the Company at any time to terminate such Employment or to increase or decrease the compensation of the Participant from the rate in existence at the time of the grant of a Stock Incentive Award.
(b)No person shall have any claim or right to receive a Stock Incentive Award hereunder. The Committee's granting of a Stock Incentive Award to a Participant at any time shall neither require the Committee to grant a Stock Incentive Award to such Participant or any other Participant or other person at any time nor preclude the Committee from making subsequent grants to such Participant or any other Participant or other person.
10
12.Securities Matters.
(a)Aibotics Inc. shall be under no obligation to affect the registration pursuant to the Securities Act of any shares of Common Stock to be issued hereunder or to effect similar compliance under any state or local laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Aibotics Inc. shall not be obligated to cause to be issued shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan unless and until Aibotics Inc. is advised by its counsel that the issuance is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authority, and the requirements of any securities exchange on which shares of Common Stock are traded. The Committee may require, as a condition to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, that the recipient of such shares make such covenants, agreements, and representations, and that any related certificates representing such shares bear such legends, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable.
(b)The exercise or settlement of any Stock Incentive Award (including, without limitation, any Option) granted hereunder shall only be effective at such time as counsel to Aibotics Inc. shall have determined that the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such exercise is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authority, and the requirements of any securities exchange on which shares of Common Stock are traded. Aibotics Inc. may, in its sole discretion, defer the effectiveness of any exercise or settlement of a Stock Incentive Award granted hereunder in order to allow the issuance of shares pursuant thereto to be made pursuant to registration or an exemption from registration or other methods for compliance available under federal or state or local securities laws; provided, however, that any such deferral shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the original exercise or settlement date unless the Participant consents in writing to a longer deferral period. Aibotics Inc. shall inform the Participant in writing of its decision to defer the effectiveness of the exercise or settlement of a Stock Incentive Award granted hereunder within ten (10) business days of such decision. During the period that the effectiveness of the exercise of a Stock Incentive Award has been deferred, the Participant may, by written notice, withdraw such exercise and obtain the refund of any amount paid with respect thereto.
13.Withholding Taxes.
(a)Cash Remittance. Whenever withholding tax obligations are incurred in connection with any Stock Incentive Award, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements, if any, attributable to such event; provided, however, that the Company shall provide the Participant with at least fifteen (15) calendar days' advance written notice of the amount due and the due date for payment, and such notice shall include a detailed calculation showing how the withholding amount was determined. In addition, upon the exercise or settlement of any Stock Incentive Award in cash, or the making of any other payment with respect to any Stock Incentive Award (other than in shares of Common Stock), the Company shall have the right to withhold from any payment required to be made pursuant thereto an amount sufficient to satisfy the federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements, if any, attributable to such exercise, settlement, or payment.
11
(b)Stock Remittance. At the election of the Participant, subject to the approval of the Committee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed and shall be granted or denied within five (5) business days of the Participant's request), whenever withholding tax obligations are incurred in connection with any Stock Incentive Award, the Participant may tender to the Company (including by attestation) a number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value at the tender date determined by the Committee to be sufficient to satisfy the minimum federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements, if any, attributable to such event. If the Committee fails to respond within such five (5) business day period, approval shall be deemed granted. Such election shall satisfy the Participant's obligations under Section 0 hereof, if any.
(c)Stock Withholding. At the election of the Participant, subject to the approval of the Committee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed and shall be granted or denied within five (5) business days of the Participant's request), whenever withholding tax obligations are incurred in connection with any Stock Incentive Award, the Company shall withhold a number of such shares having a Fair Market Value determined by the Committee to be sufficient to satisfy the minimum federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements, if any, attributable to such event. If the Committee fails to respond within such five (5) business day period, approval shall be deemed granted. Such election shall satisfy the Participant's obligations under Section 0 hereof, if any.
14.No Obligation to Exercise. The grant to a Participant of a Stock Incentive Award shall impose no obligation upon such Participant to exercise such Stock Incentive Award.
15.Transfers. Stock Incentive 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 a Participant, only by the Participant; provided, however that the Committee may permit Options or other Stock Incentive Awards that are not incentive stock options to be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of, on a general or specific basis, subject to such conditions and limitations as the Committee may determine in its reasonable discretion, and provided further that any such transfer (i) complies with applicable securities laws, (ii) does not result in adverse tax consequences to the Company or the Participant under section 409A of the Code, and (iii) does not violate Nevada's fraudulent transfer laws under NRS 112.180 or result in a transfer that could be set aside in bankruptcy proceedings. Upon the death of a Participant, outstanding Stock Incentive Awards granted to such Participant may be exercised only by the executors or administrators of the Participant's estate or by any person or persons who shall have acquired such right to exercise by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. No transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution of any Stock Incentive Award, or the right to exercise any Stock Incentive Award, shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with (a) written notice thereof and with a copy of the will and/or such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and (b) an agreement by the transferee to comply with all the terms and conditions of the Stock Incentive Award that are or would have been applicable to the Participant and to be bound by

17.Failure to Comply. In addition to the remedies of the Company elsewhere provided for herein, failure by a Participant to comply with any material terms and conditions of the Plan or any Award Agreement, unless such failure is remedied by such Participant within ten (10) business days after having been notified in writing of such failure by the Committee (or such longer period as may be reasonable under the circumstances for failures that cannot reasonably be cured within ten business days), shall be grounds for the cancellation and forfeiture of such Stock Incentive Award, in whole or in part, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine, provided that (i) such forfeiture is proportionate to the nature and severity of the breach, (ii) the Participant is provided with a reasonable opportunity of no less than ten (10) business days to contest the alleged failure before forfeiture is imposed, including the right to present evidence and arguments in writing to the Committee or its designee, and (iii) the Committee shall provide a written explanation of its decision, including specific findings regarding the nature of the breach and the basis for the forfeiture determination.
18.Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment with respect to any Stock Incentive Awards under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit sharing, group insurance, or other benefit plan of the Company except as otherwise specifically provided in such other plan.
