OPENWAVE SYSTEMS INC. STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (Non-U.S. Optionees)

Exhibit 10.4

(Non-U.S. Optionees)

1. Grant of Option. Openwave Systems Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to Optionee (“Optionee”) named in the corresponding Notice of Stock Option Grant (including any exhibits thereto, the “Notice”), an option (the “Option”) to purchase a total number of shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) set forth in the Notice, at the exercise price per share (the “Exercise Price”) set forth in the Notice, subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Plan (as defined in the Notice), which is incorporated herein by reference, and the terms of this Stock Option Agreement (including any exhibits hereto, the “Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.

2. Exercise of Option. The Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice so long as Optionee continues as an Employee, Director or Consultant, as the case may be, and with the provisions of the Plan as set forth below. A change in status of Optionee from his or her status at the time of grant or during the term of the Option (e.g. Optionee is a Consultant at the time of grant and who subsequently becomes an Employee or (ii) Optionee is an Employee at the time of grant and who subsequently becomes a Consultant) shall be deemed a termination of employment or service with the Company at the time of such change in status; provided, however, that a change in status of Optionee from his or her status at the time of grant or during the term of the Option whereby (i) Optionee is an Employee and a Director and who subsequently becomes a non-Employee Director or (ii) Optionee is a non-Employee Director and who subsequently becomes an Employee and a Director shall not be deemed a termination of employment or service with the Company. Upon a termination of employment or service, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator in its sole discretion, vesting of the Shares shall immediately cease in full.

(a) Right to Exercise.

(i) The Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

(ii) In the event of Optionee’s death, disability or other termination of employment or service with the Company, the exercisability of the Option is governed by Sections 5, 6, and 7 below, subject to the limitation contained in subsection 2(a)(i).

(iii) In no event may the Option be exercised after the Expiration Date as set forth in the Notice.

(iv) If this Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option in the Notice, in the event that the Shares subject to the Option (and all other Incentive Stock Options granted to Optionee by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) that become exercisable in any calendar year have an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined for each Share as of the Date of Grant of the option covering such Share) in excess of $100,000, the Shares in excess of $100,000 shall be treated as subject to a Nonstatutory Stock Option, in accordance with the terms of the Plan. An “Incentive Stock Option”

is a stock option that is intended, as such intention is designated in the Notice, to qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

(b) Method of Exercise.

(i) The Option shall be exercisable by (i) delivery of a written notice (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan or (ii) if permitted by the Company in its sole discretion, by executing a “cashless exercise” through the Company’s designated broker. The written notice shall be signed by Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to the stock option administrator of the Company and shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares. The Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by such aggregate Exercise Price or, if permitted by the Company, by Optionee’s execution of a “cashless” exercise with the Company’s designated broker.

(ii) As a condition to the exercise of the Option, Optionee agrees to make adequate provision for federal, state or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the exercise of the Option or disposition of Shares, whether by withholding, direct payment to the Company, or otherwise.

(iii) No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Option unless such issuance and such exercise shall comply with all relevant provisions of Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Exercised Shares shall be considered transferred to Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares.

3. Method of Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of Optionee:

(i) cash;

(ii) check;

(iii) surrender of other Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Company option, have been owned by Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised; or

(iv) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the aggregate Exercise Price.

4. Restrictions on Exercise. The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such Shares would constitute a

violation of any Applicable Laws. Furthermore, the Company, in its sole discretion, may prohibit you from executing a cashless exercise with respect to the Option regardless of any other provision of this Agreement or the related Notice or other agreement or document relating to this Option.

5. Termination of Relationship.

(i) In the event of the termination of Optionee’s employment or service with the Company (including a change in status that is deemed a termination of employment or service as described in Section 2 above), Optionee may, to the extent otherwise so entitled at the date of such termination (the “Termination Date”), exercise the Option during the Termination Period set out in the Notice. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if Optionee does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

(ii) In the event of a change in status that is not deemed to be a termination of employment or service with the Company (in accordance with Section 2 above), this Option shall continue in full force and effect, and the Shares subject to this Option shall continue to vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice.

6. Disability of Optionee.

(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5 above, in the event of termination of Optionee’s employment or service with the Company as a result of Optionee’s Disability, Optionee may, but only within twelve (12) months from the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in Section 9 below), exercise the Option to the extent otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if Optionee does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5 above, in the event of termination of Optionee’s employment or service with the Company as a result of any disability other than a Disability, Optionee may, but only within six (6) months from the date of such termination (but in no event later than the Expiration Date, subject to the terms set forth in Section 9 below), exercise the Option to the extent Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination; provided, however, that if this Option qualifies as an Incentive Stock Option, and if Optionee fails to exercise this Option within three (3) months from the date of termination of employment, this Option shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if Optionee does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

7. Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of Optionee, the Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of Optionee’s death (but in no event later than the date of expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in Section 9 below), by Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, or by the laws of descent and distribution or by a beneficiary designated to exercise the Option upon Optionee’s death pursuant to Section 8, but only to the extent Optionee could exercise the Option at the date of death. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if Optionee’s

estate or the person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest, inheritance or the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to Optionee’s designation of a beneficiary (pursuant to Section 8 below), does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

8. Non-Transferability of Option. The Option may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Optionee may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a beneficiary who, in the event of the death of Optionee, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option. The terms of the Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Optionee.

9. Term of Option. The Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Agreement. If this Option is designated in the Notice as Incentive Stock Option, this Option shall be subject to any applicable limitations on its term as imposed under the Plan or the Applicable Laws.

10. Corporate Transactions. In the event of a proposed merger of the Company with or into another corporation or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (either such transaction, a “Corporate Transaction”), this Option shall be treated as set forth on Exhibit B.

11. Tax Consequences. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date of the Option of certain United States federal tax consequences of exercise of the Option and disposition of the Shares under the laws in effect as of the Date of Grant. THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT ADDRESS SPECIFIC STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY BE APPLICABLE TO OPTIONEE. OPTIONEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONSULTING A TAX ADVISER AS TO THE APPLICABLE TAX LAWS OF THE JURISDICTION(S) IN WHICH OPTIONEE RESIDES OR MAY BE SUBJECT TO TAX BEFORE EXERCISING THE OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES. OPTIONEE UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

(i) Exercise of Incentive Stock Option. If the Option qualifies as an Incentive Stock Option, there will be no regular federal income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option, although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price will be treated as an adjustment to the alternative minimum tax for federal tax purposes and may subject Optionee to the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise.

(ii) Exercise of Nonstatutory Stock Option. If the Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, there may be a regular federal income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option. Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. If Optionee is an employee or former employee of the Company, the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee’s compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise.

(iii) Disposition of Shares. In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, if Shares are held for more than one year after the date of exercise, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, if Shares transferred pursuant to the Option are held for more than one year after the date of exercise and are disposed of more than two years after the Date of Grant, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will also be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. If Shares purchased under an Incentive Stock Option are disposed of before the end of either of the two holding periods, Optionee will recognize ordinary income at the time of the disposition in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the exercise date over (ii) the lower of the Exercise Price and the sale price. Any additional gain recognized upon the disqualifying disposition will be capital gain, which will be long-term if the Shares have been held for more than one year following the exercise date of the Option.

(iv) Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of Incentive Stock Option Shares. If the Option granted to Optionee herein is an Incentive Stock Option, and if Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option on or before the later of (1) the date two years after the Date of Grant, or (2) the date one year after the date of exercise, Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. Optionee agrees that Optionee may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company, on the compensation income recognized by Optionee from the early disposition by payment in cash or out of the current earnings paid to Optionee.

12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the state of California.

13. Whole Agreement. The Plan and Notice are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof. The Option and this Agreement shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and the Notice. Optionee acknowledges that the Notice, this Agreement and the Plan set forth the entire understanding between Optionee and the Company regarding the terms and conditions of this Option and supersede all prior oral and written agreements on the subjects set forth herein, except as, and only to the extent that, such other agreements are expressly incorporated by reference herein.

14. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified at any time only by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

15. Rights as a Stockholder. Neither Optionee nor any of Optionee’s successors in interest shall have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares subject to the Option until the date of issuance of a stock certificate for such Shares or the date the Shares are electronically delivered to Optionee’s brokerage account.

The signatures of the Company and Optionee on the Notice bind each such party to the terms of this Agreement.

The information contained in this exhibit is based on the laws concerning stock options in effect in the countries named below as of August 2003, it is general in nature and does not discuss all of the various laws, rules and regulations which may apply to your particular situation. Accordingly, you are advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the tax or other laws in your country apply to your specific situation.

Argentina

Due to the recent financial crisis in Argentina and the uncertainty of the exchange control restrictions that would apply, your Option is exercisable only on a “Cashless/Same-day Sale” basis. There are two types of Cashless/Same-day Sale exercises: “Full Cashless/Same-day Sale” and “Partial Cashless/Same-day Sale.” If you elect to do a “Full Cashless/Same-day Sale” exercise, you will: (a) sell all of the Shares that you are entitled to at exercise; and (b) receive the sale proceeds in cash less deductions for the Exercise Price, withholding taxes and brokerage fees, if any. If you elect to do a “Partial Cashless/Same-day Sale” exercise, you will: (a) sell only enough Shares to cover the Exercise Price, withholding taxes and brokerage fees, if any; and (b) instruct the broker to hold the remaining Shares on your behalf.

The Option granted to you under the Plan and the Shares to be purchased pursuant to the Option are offered as a private transaction. This offer is not subject to supervision by the Argentine governmental authority. This grant is being made by the Company on behalf of your employer.

Australia

Your Option is granted pursuant to the Australian Addendum which is an addendum to the Plan and therefore, your Option is subject to the terms and conditions as stated in both the Australian Addendum and the Plan.

In addition, you may be required to report on a monthly basis any receivables or payables or debts in foreign currency that exceed a certain amount.

U.S. law applies to the grant of options pursuant to the Plan.

Mexico

The invitation the Company is making under the Plan is unilateral and discretionary and, therefore, the Company reserves the absolute right to amend it and discontinue it at any time without any liability to you.

This invitation and, in your case, the acquisition of Shares does not, in any way, establish a labor relationship between you and the Company, and it does not establish any rights between you and your employer.

The difference between the fair market value of the Shares at the time you exercise the Option and the Exercise Price is a fringe benefit paid to you directly by the employer and not by the Company.

La invitación que hace en relación con el Plan es unilateral y discrecional, por lo tanto, la Empresa se reserva el derecho absoluto para modificar o terminar el mismo, sin ninguna responsabilidad para usted.

Esta invitación y, en su caso, la adquisición de acciones, de ninguna manera establecen relación laboral alguna entre usted y la Empresa y tampoco establece derecho alguno entre usted y su empleador.

La diferencia entre el Valor xx Xxxxxxx de las acciones al momento del ejercicio de la Opción y el precio del ejercicio es un beneficio que será pagado por el Patrón directamente al Beneficiario y no por la Empresa.

Singapore

Please contact the Company to obtain a copy of the notification form. In addition, you must notify the Singapore affiliate when Employee sells Shares of Company or any related company (including when Employee sell Shares acquired through exercise of your Option). These notifications must be made within two days of acquiring or disposing of any interest in the Company or any related company. In addition, a notification must be made of your interests in the Company or any related company within two days of becoming a director.

If you are a director, associate director or shadow director, you are advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to your reporting obligations under the Singapore Companies Act.

Spain

To participate in the Plan, you must comply with exchange control regulations in Spain. The purchase of Shares of the Company must be declared for statistical purposes to the Spanish Direccion General de Comercio e Inversiones of the Ministerio de Economia (the “DGCI”). If you purchase Shares through the use of a Spanish financial institution, that institution will automatically make the declaration to the DGCI for you. Otherwise, you make the declaration by filing the appropriate form with the DGCI.

When receiving foreign currency payments derived from the ownership of Openwave Shares (i.e., as a result of the sale of the Shares or receipt of dividends), you must inform the financial institution receiving the payment, the basis upon which such payment is made. You will need to provide the institution with the following information: (i) your name, address, and fiscal identification number; (ii) the name and corporate domicile of the Company; (iii) the amount of the payment; (iv) the currency used; (v) the country of origin; (vi) the reasons for the payment; and (vii) any additional information that may be required.

If you wish to import the ownership title of the Openwave Shares (i.e., share certificates) into Spain, you must declare the importation of such securities to the DGCI.

The income recognized when you exercise your Option likely will be considered compensation in-kind subject to payment on account. The amount of the payment on account payable at the time of exercise, if any, will be charged to you. This amount will be withheld from the proceeds of sale if the “Full Cashless/Same-day Sale” method of exercise is used. If the “Partial Cashless/Same-day Sale” method of exercise is used, you will be responsible for ensuring that you either sell enough Shares to cover the payment on account or that you take the steps described in the following sentence for the cash purchase method of exercise. If the cash purchase method of exercise is used, you must pay the payment on account to your employer, or you must agree to have the appropriate amounts withheld from your normal pay. As a result, you will be entitled to deduct the payment on account and obtain a tax credit from your income tax obligation.

C-6

You further understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously, and discretionally decided to distribute Options to individuals who may be employees of the Company or of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a temporary decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates presently or in the future. Consequently you understand that any grant is given on the assumption and condition that it shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purpose (including severance compensation), or any other right whatsoever. Further, you understand and freely accept that the Company does not guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant since the future value of the Option and Shares is unknown and unpredictable.

Finally, you understand that the Company would not be making this grant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, you expressly acknowledge and freely accept that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of the Option shall be null and void and the Plan shall not have any effect whatsoever.

This offer is considered a private placement outside of the scope of Spanish law on public offerings and issuances.

Sweden

Foreign and local banks or financial institutions (including brokers) engaged in cross-border transactions are generally required to report any payments to or from a foreign country exceeding a certain amount to The National Tax Board, which receives the information on behalf of the Swedish Central Bank (Sw.Riksbanken). This requirement applies if you have a brokerage account with a foreign broker.

Taiwan
