CYBERGUARD CORPORATION
NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
This Stock Option Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of the 4th
day of September, 1998, between CyberGuard Corporation (the "Corporation"), a
Florida corporation having its principal office in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and
____________ ("Director"), a director of the Corporation.
WHEREAS, the Corporation and the Director have previously entered into
one or more stock option agreement(s) as more fully described below ("Old
Options");
WHEREAS, in consideration of Director's agreement to fully terminate
all the Old Options, the Corporation hereby agrees to grant to Director a "New
Option" (as defined below) to completely replace the Old Options.
NOW THEREFORE, the Corporation and Director hereby agree as follows:
1. NEW OPTION. Under and subject to the provisions of the Corporation's
Stock Incentive Plan as in effect from time to time ("Plan"), the Corporation
hereby grants to Director a non-statutory option to purchase an aggregate of the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation as set forth on Exhibit B
attached hereto at the price of U.S. $1.125 per share ("New Option"), subject to
the following conditions:
(a) The New Option shall not be exercisable to any extent
until and unless the Director shall have remained continuously as a
director of the Corporation until at least May 6, 1999; provided,
however, that if the Director's position as a director terminates
because of the Director's death, failure to be re-elected by the
shareholders, medical disability (with physician's written opinion
regarding disability to serve as a director) or removal from office
(including a resignation upon request of a purchaser of the
Corporation) after "Change of Control" (as defined in the Plan), then
the requirement that Director remain continuously as a director of the
Corporation until at least May 6, 1999 shall be waived by the
Corporation and the New Options shall become immediately exercisable
(to the extent they have not expired) and remain exercisable for the
time period stated in Exhibit B hereof.
(b) During the lifetime of the Director, the New Option shall
be exercisable only by the Director; after the Director's death, the
New Option shall be exercisable as described in the Plan.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
New Option shall expire in accordance with the schedule set forth on
Exhibit B hereof and shall not be exercisable thereafter.
(d) By executing this Agreement, Director acknowledges and
agrees that all Old Options are hereby fully and finally terminated,
are void and are of no further force or effect. The New Option granted
to Director herein replaces the Old Options in their entirety. As used
herein, the term "Old Option" shall mean all options, rights and option
agreements dated on or before September 3, 1998 between Corporation and
Director under which Director has the right to purchase shares of
Corporation Common Stock from the Corporation at a stated exercise
price per share (collectively, the "Old Options"). Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing sentence, attached hereto as Exhibit A is a
1
2
description of the Old Options. Notwithstanding the attachment of
Exhibit A, it is the intention of the parties hereto that this
Agreement shall terminate all options, rights and option agreements
dated on or before September 3, 1998 between Corporation and Director
under which Director has the right to purchase shares of Corporation
Common Stock from the Corporation at a stated exercise price per share,
whether or not such options, warrants or agreements are listed on
Exhibit A.
2. EXERCISE OF NEW OPTION. The New Option may be exercised by
delivering to the Corporation at the office of the Corporate Secretary (i) a
written notice, signed by the person entitled to exercise the New Option,
stating the number of shares such person then elects to purchase hereunder, (ii)
payment in an amount equal to the full purchase price of the shares then to be
purchased, and (iii) in the event the New Option is exercised by any person
other than the Director, evidence satisfactory to the Corporation that such
person has the right to exercise the New Option. If it is required (in the
estimation of the Corporation), the Corporation also may require the payment of
any withholding or other applicable taxes at the time of exercise of the New
Option. Payment shall be made (a) in cash, (b) in previously acquired shares of
Common Stock of the Corporation, valued at their Fair Market Value on the day
preceding the exercise date of the New Option, or (c) in any combination of cash
and such shares. Shares tendered in payment of the purchase price which have
been acquired through an exercise of a stock option shall have been held at
least six (6) months prior to exercise of the New Option. Upon the due exercise
of the New Option, the Corporation shall issue in the name of the person
exercising the New Option, and deliver to the Director, one or more certificates
for the shares in respect of which the New Option shall have been so exercised.
The Director acknowledges that the Director does not have any rights as a
shareholder in respect of any shares as to which the New Option shall not have
been duly exercised and that no rights as a shareholder shall arise in respect
of any such shares until and except to the extent that a certificate or
certificates for such shares shall have been issued.
3. PROHIBITION AGAINST TRANSFER. The New Option and rights granted by
the Corporation under this Agreement are not transferable except by will or the
laws of descent and distribution. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the New Option may not be assigned, transferred except as aforesaid,
pledged or hypothecated, shall not be assignable by operation of law, and shall
not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted
assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the New
Option contrary to the provisions hereof, or the levy of any execution,
attachment or similar process upon the New Option, shall be null and void and
without effect.
4. ADJUSTMENTS. In case there shall be a merger, reorganization,
consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, a change in corporate structure
such that shares of Common Stock are changed into or become exchangeable for a
larger or smaller number of shares, or an issuance of Common Stock by the
Corporation in exchange for which the Corporation (or its current shareholders,
on a pro-rata basis) does not receive cash or other property, the number of
shares subject to outstanding New Options shall be increased or decreased in
direct proportion to the increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common
Stock by reason of such change. The number of shares shall always be a whole
number, and the purchase price per share of any outstanding New Options shall,
in the case of an increase in the number of shares, be proportionately reduced,
and in the case of a decrease in the number of shares, shall be proportionately
increased.
(1) 5. COMMITTEE. The Corporation's Board of Directors and the
Committee administering the Plan shall have authority, subject to the express
provisions of the Plan as in effect from time to time, to construe this
Agreement and the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan, and to make all other determinations in the judgment of

Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission

terminated under circumstances that give Employee a longer period of exercise or

termination of Employment contained in the Employment Agreement shall supersede
those set forth in this Agreement.
