AWARD AGREEMENT


 


THIS
AWARD AGREEMENT, dated as of the Date of Grant appearing on the Notice of Grant
and Signature Page hereof, is made by and between Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,
a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and the Employee whose name and signature
appear on the Notice of Grant and Signature Page hereof (“Holder”).


 


WHEREAS,
the Company wishes to grant Holder
an option (the “Option”)  to purchase
shares of its common stock, par value $.0033 per share (the “Common Stock”),
pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Grant and Signature Page, this Agreement
and the Amendment and Restatement of The 2001 Incentive Award Plan of Watson
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., as amended from time to time (the terms of which
are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement, the “Plan”);
and


 


WHEREAS,
it has been determined that it would be to the advantage and best interest of
the Company and its stockholders to grant Holder the
Option as an inducement to enter into or remain in the service of the Company
or its Subsidiaries and as an incentive for increased efforts during such
service.


 


NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other
good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:


 


ARTICLE I


GRANT OF OPTION


 


Section 1.1
- Grant of Option and Purchase Price. The Company grants to Holder the
option to purchase any part or all of an aggregate of that many shares of
Common Stock as set forth on the Notice of Grant and Signature Page hereto,
upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.  The per share purchase price of the shares of
Common Stock covered by the Option shall be as set forth on the Notice of Grant
and Signature Page hereto, without commission or other charge.


 


Section 1.2
- Consideration to Company.  In
consideration of the granting of this Option by the Company, Holder agrees to
render faithful and efficient services to the Company or a Subsidiary, with
such duties and responsibilities as the Company shall from time to time
prescribe, for a period of at least one (1) year from the date this Option
is granted.  Nothing in this Agreement or
in the Plan shall confer upon Holder any right to continue in the employ or
engagement of the Company or any Subsidiary, or shall interfere with or
restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which are
hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the engagement with Holder
at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause.


 


ARTICLE II


PERIOD OF EXERCISABILITY


 


Section 2.1
- Exercisability.  Subject to Section 2.2,
Section 4.5 and the terms of any written agreement between the Company and
Holder relating to the exercisability of the Option, the Option shall become
exercisable as set forth in the Notice of Grant and Signature Page hereto.  No portion of the Option which is
unexercisable at Termination of Employment shall thereafter become
exercisable.  Each such installment which
becomes exercisable pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall remain exercisable
until it becomes unexercisable under Section 2.2 or the Plan.


 


1





















 


Section 2.2
- Expiration of Option.  (a) Subject
to subsection (b), the Option may not be exercised to any extent by anyone
after the first to occur of the following events:


 


(i)                                     The
expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Option was granted;


 


(ii)                                  Except
in the case of Holder’s disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of
the Code) or as set forth in Sections 2.2(a)(iv) and (v), the expiration
of three (3) months from the date of Holder’s Termination of Employment,
unless Holder dies within said three month period;


 


(iii)                               In
the case of Holder’s disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of
the Code), the expiration of one (1) year from the date of Holder’s
Termination of Employment by reason of Holder’s disability;


 


(iv)                              The
expiration of one (1) year from the date of Holder’s death; or


 


(v)                                 Upon
Holder’s Termination of Employment, by the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company for Cause, at the discretion of the Administrator effective upon
written notice to Holder.


 


(b)                                 If,

not apply, and the Option may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after
the first to occur of the following events:


 


(i)                                     The
expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Option was granted; or


 


(ii)                                  The
expiration of two (2) years from the date of Holder’s Termination of
Employment.


 


Section 2.3
– Special Tax Consequences.  Holder
acknowledges that, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of stock
with respect to which “incentive stock options” (within the meaning of Section 422
of the Code, but without regard to Section 422(d) of the Code),
including the Option, are exercisable for the first time by Holder during any
calendar year under the Plan and all other incentive stock option plans of the
Company, any Subsidiary and any parent corporation thereof (within the meaning
of Section 422 of the Code)) exceeds $100,000, such options shall not be
treated as “incentive stock options” to the extent required by Section 422
of the Code.  Holder further acknowledges
that the rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by
taking options into account in the order in which they were granted.  For purposes of these rules, the Fair Market
Value of stock shall be determined as of the time the option with respect to
such stock is granted.

written notice complying with the applicable rules established by the Administrator
stating that the Option, or a portion thereof, is exercised.  The notice shall be signed by Holder or other
person then entitled to exercise the Option or such portion; and


 


(b)                                 (i)

of the Company’s Common Stock owned by Holder, duly endorsed for transfer, with
a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld, or (ii) shares
of the Company’s Common Stock issuable to Holder upon exercise of the Option
with a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld; provided,
that the number of shares of Common Stock which may be withheld with respect to
the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of the Option (or which may be repurchased
from Holder within six months after such shares of Common Stock were acquired

income and payroll tax liabilities with respect to the issuance, vesting,
exercise or payment of the Option shall be limited to the number of shares
which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal

administrative convenience; and


 


(e) 
The receipt by the Company of full payment for such shares, including payment
of all amounts which, under federal, state or local tax law, the Company (or
other employer corporation) is required to withhold upon exercise of the
Option.
