Common use of Acceptance of options for exchange and issuance of new options Clause in Contracts

Acceptance of options for exchange and issuance of new options. Upon the terms and conditions of the offer and as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Date, we will accept for exchange and cancellation all options properly tendered and not validly withdrawn before the Expiration Date. Once the options are cancelled, you will no longer have any rights with respect to those options. Subject to the terms and conditions of this offer, if your options are properly tendered and accepted for exchange, these options will be cancelled as of the date of our acceptance, which we anticipate to be November 19, 2001, and you will be granted New Options on or promptly after (but not more than 20 days after) the first business day that is at least six months and one day after the date we cancel the options accepted for exchange. All newly granted options will be nonstatutory stock options. Thus, subject to the terms and conditions of this offer, if your options are properly tendered by November 19, 2001, the scheduled expiration date of the offer, and accepted for exchange and cancelled on November 19, 2001 you will be granted New Options on or promptly after (but not more than 20 days after) May 20, 2002. If we accept and cancel options properly tendered for exchange after November 19, 2001, or if we extend the date by which we must accept and cancel options properly elected for exchange, the period in which the New Options will be granted will be similarly delayed. Only options with an exercise price of $15.00 per share or higher are Eligible Options. We will send a confirmation of our acceptance of the tender of your Eligible Options and Required Options immediately after the Expiration Date and will notify you if we reject your election to exchange your Eligible Options on or prior to the Expiration Date. Unless you are notified of a rejection, you may assume that, immediately following the Expiration Date, your properly executed and delivered Election Form and your tendered Eligible Options have been accepted. If we accept for exchange any of the options you tender in the offer, you will not be granted any other options, such as annual, bonus or promotion-related options, for which you may be eligible, before the grant date of the New Options, so that you will be granted no new options for any reason until at least six months and one day after any of your tendered options have been cancelled. We will defer the grant to you of these other options in order to avoid incurring compensation expense against our earnings as a result of accounting rules that could apply to these interim option grants as a result of the offer. Any such grant of these other options is in the discretion of our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee and subject to compliance with law and market prices for our stock prevailing at the time of the grants. On the other hand, if you do not return for exchange any of your Eligible Options in the offer, you may receive discretionary merit or promotion option grants prior to the date New Options are granted to others. As a result, participation in the offer may affect the grant date, price and vesting of any promotion, merit or other discretionary grants that may have otherwise been approved for you in the future. If you return options for exchange, you will receive, in exchange for each Eligible Option and Required Option that you return and we accept for exchange and cancellation, a New Option exercisable for 75% of the number of shares that were subject to the corresponding returned option (rounded down to the nearest whole share). Thus, for every four (4) shares of common stock that are purchasable under a returned option, you will receive the right to purchase three (3) shares of common stock under the New Option. All New Options will be granted under our 2000 Plan (if you are not an executive officer of Agile) or under our 1995 Plan (if you are an executive officer of Agile), regardless of whether the returned options were originally granted under the 2000 Plan, 1995 Plan or DMI Plan, and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2000 Plan or the 1995 Plan, as applicable, and a new stock option agreement between you and us. The New Option will be a nonstatutory stock option for U.S. tax purposes, even if the returned option was an incentive stock option. Additionally, although certain earlier option agreements provided for full acceleration of unvested shares if you were terminated without cause or resigned for good reason within 18 months after a corporate transaction, the New Option agreements provide for only 18 months worth of accelerated vesting under the same circumstances. If you do not remain an employee of Agile or one of our subsidiaries from the date you return your options for exchange through the date we grant the New Options, you will not receive any New Options, or any other payment or consideration in exchange for your returned options that have been accepted for exchange and cancelled, regardless of how or why your employment terminated. The offer does not change the "at-will" nature of your employment with us, and your employment may be terminated by us or you at any time, including prior to the grant date or vesting of the New Options, for any reason with or without cause.

As Such a stock option could be for the purchase of the acquirer's stock (as opposed to Resonate's) and as a result, participation in the offer may affect the grant date, price and vesting of any promotion, merit or other discretionary grants that may have otherwise been approved for you in the future. If you return options for exchange, you will receive, in exchange for each Eligible Option and Required Option that you return and we accept for exchange and cancellation, a New Option exercisable for 75% of the number of shares subject to your new option would be adjusted.
