Option
Award

 

The
Option referred to herein is subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended
and Restated Stock Incentive Plan of Witness Systems, Inc. (the “Plan”).

 

1.     Exercise Period of Option.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Option Award document and the Plan, and unless otherwise modified by a written
modification signed by the Company and Optionee, this Option may be exercised
with respect to all of the Shares, but only according to the vesting schedule
below and as described in Section 10 below, prior to the date which is five (5)
years (the “Term”) following the date of grant (hereinafter “Expiration Date”).

 

2.     Restrictions on Exercise.  This Option may not be exercised unless such
exercise is in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933 and all applicable
state securities laws as they are in effect on the date of exercise, and the
requirements of any stock exchange or national market system on which the Company’s
Common Stock may be listed or traded at the time of exercise.  Optionee understands that the Company is
under no obligation to register, qualify or list the Shares with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), any state securities commission or any stock
exchange to effect such compliance.

 

3.     Termination of Option.  Except as provided below in this Section,
this Option may not be exercised after the date which is thirty (30) days after
Optionee ceases to perform services for the Company, or any Parent or
Subsidiary.  Optionee shall be considered
to perform services for the Company, or any Parent or Subsidiary, for all
purposes under this Section and Section 10 hereof, if Optionee is an officer or
full-time employee of the Company, or any Parent or Subsidiary, or if the Board
determines that Optionee is rendering substantial services as a part-time
employee, consultant, contractor or advisor to the Company, or any Parent or
Subsidiary.  The Board shall have discretion
to determine whether Optionee has ceased to perform services for the Company,
or any Parent or Subsidiary, and the effective date on which such services
cease (the “Termination Date”). 
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the
corporate position of Optionee is, at any time, altered or revised such that
Optionee’s responsibilities are materially reduced or decreased for any reason,
as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, the vesting of Shares under
Section 10 shall cease, effective as of the date of such reduction in Optionee’s
employment responsibilities; provided, however, except as otherwise provided in
this Option and the Plan, Optionee shall have the right to exercise this Option
with respect to Shares which have vested under Section 10 as of the date of
such reduction of Optionee’s responsibilities.

 

45

 

(a)           Termination
Generally.  If Optionee ceases to
perform services for the Company, or any Parent or Subsidiary, for any reason,
except death or disability (within the meaning of Code Section 22(e)(3)), this
Option shall immediately be forfeited, along with any and all rights or
subsequent rights attached thereto, thirty (30) days following the Termination
Date, but in no event later than the Expiration Date.

 

(b)           Death
or Disability.  If Optionee
ceases to perform services for the Company, or any Parent or Subsidiary, as a
result of the death or disability of Optionee (as determined by the Board in
its sole discretion), this Option, to the extent (and only to the extent) that
it would have been exercisable by Optionee on the Termination Date, may be
exercised by Optionee (or, in the event of Optionee’s death, by Optionee’s
legal representative) within ninety (90) days after the Termination Date, but
in no event later than the Expiration Date.

 

(c)           No Right to Employment.  Nothing in the Plan or this Option Award
document shall confer on Optionee any right to continue in the employ of, or
other relationship with, the Company, or any Parent or Subsidiary, or limit in
any way the right of the Company, or any Parent or Subsidiary, to terminate
Optionee’s employment or other relationship at any time, with or without cause.

 

4.     Manner of Exercise.

 

(a)           Exercise Agreement.  This Option shall be exercisable by delivery
to the Company of such form of exercise agreement, notice or other form as may
be approved or accepted by the Company from time to time, which shall set forth
Optionee’s election to exercise this Option, the number of Shares being
purchased, any restrictions imposed on the Shares, and such other
representations and agreements as may be required by the Company to comply with
applicable securities laws.

 

(b)           Exercise Price.  Such notice shall be accompanied by full
payment of the Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased.  Payment for the Shares may be made in U.S.
dollars in cash (by check) or, where permitted by law and approved in advance
and in writing by the Compensation Committee of the Board in its sole
discretion:  (i) by surrender of shares
of Common Stock of the Company that have been owned by Optionee for more than
six (6) months (and which have been paid for within the meaning of SEC Rule
144, and, if such shares were purchased from the Company by use of a promissory
note, such note has been fully paid with respect to such shares), or were
obtained by Optionee in the open public market, having a Fair Market Value
equal to the Exercise Price of the Shares being purchased; (ii) by instructing
the Company to withhold Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the exercise of
the Option having a Fair Market Value equal to the Exercise Price of the Shares
being purchased (including the withheld Shares); (iii) by waiver of
compensation accrued by Optionee for services rendered; or (iv) by a combination
of the foregoing.

 

(c)           Withholding Taxes.  Prior to the issuance of Shares upon exercise
of this Option, Optionee must pay, or make adequate provision for, any
applicable federal or state tax withholding obligations of the Company.  Where approved by the Compensation Committee,
Optionee may provide for payment of withholding taxes upon exercise

 

46

 

of the Option by
requesting that the Company retain Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the
minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld.  In such case, the Company shall issue the net
number of Shares to Optionee by deducting the Shares retained from the Shares
otherwise issuable upon exercise.

 

(d)           Issuance of Shares.  Provided that such notice and payment are in
form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, the Company shall
cause the Shares to be issued in the name of Optionee or Optionee’s legal
representative.

 

5.     Nontransferability
of Option.  This 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 Optionee’s lifetime only by
Optionee.  The terms of this Option shall
be binding upon the executor, administrators, successors and assigns of
Optionee.

 

6.     Tax
Consequences.  Optionee understands that the grant and
exercise of this Option, and the sale of Shares obtained through the exercise
of this Option, may have adverse tax consequences to Optionee.  Optionee should consult with his or her tax
advisor and may not rely on the Company for any financial, tax or other advice.

 

7.     Interpretation.  Any dispute regarding the interpretation of
this Option Award document shall be submitted by Optionee or the Compensation
Committee of the Board, which shall review such dispute at its next regular
meeting.  The resolution of such a
dispute by the Compensation Committee of the Board shall be final and binding
on the Company and Optionee.

 

8.     Entire Agreement.  The Plan is incorporated herein by this
reference.  The granting of this Option
constitutes a full accord, satisfaction and release of all obligations or
commitments made to Optionee by the Company or any of its officers, directors,
shareholders or affiliates with respect to the issuance of any securities, or rights
to acquire securities, of the Company or any of its affiliates.  This Option Award document and the Plan
constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto, and supersede all prior
undertakings and agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

9.     Exercisability
of Option.  Subject to the terms
of the Plan and this Option Award document, the issuance of Shares pursuant to
the exercise of this Option shall be subject to the limitations set forth
herein defined below.  For purposes of
this Section, “Continuous Service” means a period of continuous performance of
services by Optionee for the Company, a Parent, or a Subsidiary, as determined
by the Board.
