STOCK OPTION GRANT AGREEMENT


 


PART I - NOTICE OF STOCK OPTION GRANT


 


You have been
granted an option (the Option) to purchase shares of common stock of
Actividentity Corp. (the Shares), subject to the terms and conditions of the
Actividentity 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan) and this Option Agreement,
as follows.  Unless otherwise defined
herein, the terms defined in this Option Agreement shall have the same defined
meanings in the Plan.


 


TYPE OF OPTION FOR
U.S. BENEFICIARIES ONLY: If designated above as an Incentive Stock Option
(ISO), this Option is intended to quality as an ISO as defined in Section 422
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).  However, in accordance with the Code, to the
extent that the aggregate fair market value of shares subject to ISOs granted
to you which become exercisable for the first time during any calendar year
(under all plans of the Company or any Affiliated Company) exceeds $100,000 or
such other limit imposed by the Code, such excess Options are treated as
Non-Statutory Stock Options (NSO).


 


VESTING SCHEDULE:
This Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, in accordance with the
following schedule:


 


The Option will
vest and become exercisable as to 25% of the original number of Shares on the
first anniversary of the Grant Date and thereafter in equal quarterly
installments over the next 3 years provided that, on such dates you must remain
in continuous service as an Employee under the Plan.


 


RESTRICTION FOR
FRENCH BENEFICIARIES ONLY: The shares of common stock acquired as a result of
the exercise of all or part of the Option cannot be transferred or sold by the
Employee before the expiration of a four (4) year period which shall start
from the grant date of 8-November-2007.  The
shares of common stock acquired as a result of the exercise of the Option may
however be immediately transferred upon the occurrence of one of the events
referred to under Article 91-bis of Appendix II to the French General Tax
Code.


 


2

















 


TERMINATION
PERIOD: This Option may be exercised for ninety (90) days after Termination of
the Optionee’s employment with the Company or the Affiliated Company, as the
case may be, provided that if exercised after the maximum time period allowed
for exercise of an ISO, as described in the Plan, the Option shall be treated
as a NSO.  Upon the death or Disability
of the Optionee, this Option may be exercised for such longer period as
provided in the Plan.  Except as provided
in the Plan, this Option shall be exercised no later than the Term/Expiration
Date as provided above.


 


By your signature
and the signature of the Company’s representative below, you and the Company
agree that this Option is granted under and governed by the terms and
conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.  You have reviewed the Plan and this Option
Agreement in their entirety, had the opportunity to obtain the advice of
counsel prior to executing this Option Agreement, and fully understand all
provisions of the Plan and Option Agreement. 
You hereby agree to accept as binding, conclusive and final all
decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions relating
to the Plan and Option Agreement.  You
further agree to notify the Company upon any change in the residence address
indicated above.  You acknowledge and
agree that this Option and its vesting schedule does not constitute an express
or implied promise of continued employment and shall not interfere in any way
with your right or the Company’s right to terminate your employment at any time.  Further, the benefits, if any, arising from
your Option, shall not form any part of your wages, pay or remuneration or
count as wages, pay or remuneration for pension fund or other purposes.  In no circumstances shall you on ceasing to
hold your office or employment be entitled to any compensation for any loss of
any right or benefit or prospective right or benefit under the Plan, which you
might otherwise have enjoyed, whether such compensation is claimed by way of
damages for wrongful dismissal or other breach of contract or by way of compensation
for loss of office or otherwise.
