HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY
INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (NON-QUALIFIED)
THIS AGREEMENT, dated July 17, 1999 ("Grant Date") by and between HEWLETT-
PACKARD COMPANY, a Delaware corporation ("Company"), and 00547500 Carleton S.
Fiorina ("Employee"), is entered into as follows:
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Company has established the Hewlett-Packard Company 1995
Incentive Stock Plan ("Plan"), a copy of which can be found on the Stock Options
Web Site at: http://hpweb.corp.hp.com/publish/hwp/stock/stok_opt.htm or by
written or telephonic request to the Company Secretary, and which Plan made a
part hereof; and
WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company
("Committee") determined that the Employee be granted an option under the Plan
as reflected in the terms and conditions contained in the Employment Agreement
by and between the Employee and the Company made as of July 17, 1999 (the
"Employment Agreement") and as hereinafter set forth;
NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree that in consideration of services to
be rendered, the Company grants the Employee an option ("Option") to purchase
600,000 shares of its $1.00 par value voting common stock of the Company
("Stock") upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
1. This Option is granted under and pursuant to the Plan and is subject to each
and all of the provisions thereof.
2. The Option price shall be $113.03 per share of Stock.
3. Except as may be provided in this Paragraph 3, this Option is not
transferable by the Employee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent
and distribution, and is exercisable only by the Employee during her
lifetime. Except as may be provided in this Paragraph 3, this Option may not
be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Employee during her
lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and is not subject to
execution, attachment or similar process. The Employee may transfer this
Option (to the extent vested) consistent with the rules for transfers to
"family members" as defined in Form S-8 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended; provided, however, that any such transfer shall comply with all
procedural rules reasonably established by the Committee.
4. This Option shall become exercisable as to 25% of the Stock subject to such
Option on the first anniversary date of the Grant Date, and as to an
additional 25% on each succeeding anniversary date, so as to be 100% vested
on the fourth anniversary thereof, conditioned upon the Employee's continued
employment with the Company as of each vesting date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Option shall become exercisable as to:
(a) 100% of the then unvested Stock subject to this Option upon the
termination of the Employee's employment due to a "Disability
Termination" (as defined in the Employment Agreement), death or
retirement due to age or permanent and total disability;
(b) 50% of the then unvested Stock subject to this Option upon the Employee's
voluntary termination of employment for "Good Reason" (as defined in the
Employment Agreement) or involuntary termination by the Company other
than for "Cause" (as defined in the Employment Agreement); provided,
however, that if such termination takes place in contemplation of, at the
time of, or within two (2) years after a Change of Control (as defined in
the Employment Agreement), this Option shall become exercisable in full,
except that if such Change of Control occurs within one (1) year after
the Grant Date (i) such full vesting shall not occur, and (ii) the
additional vesting beyond that occurring upon the Change of Control under
sub-paragraph (c) below shall not occur if the termination is at the time
or within three (3) months after the Change of Control; or
(c) 50% of each vesting tranche of the then unvested Stock subject to this
Option in the event of a Change of Control.
Following such partial acceleration of this Option as provided in
Paragraphs 4(b) or (c), the remaining unvested Stock subject to this Option
shall continue to vest as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
5. This Option will expire ten (10) years from the date hereof, unless sooner
terminated or canceled in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and this
Agreement. This means that the Option must be exercised, if at all, on or
before July 16, 2009.
6. This Option may be exercised by delivering to the Secretary of the Company at
its head office a written notice stating the number of shares of Stock as to
which the Option is exercised; provided, however, that no such exercise shall
be with respect to fewer than twenty-five (25) shares or the remaining shares
covered by the Option if less than twenty-five. The written notice must be
accompanied by the payment of the full Option price of such shares. Payment
may be by:
(a) Cash;
-1-
<PAGE>
(b) Shares of Stock owned for at least six (6) months;
(c) Delivery of the Employee's promissory note ("Note") in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A bearing interest at the "applicable federal
---------
rate" prescribed under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and
its regulations at time of purchase and secured by a pledge of the Stock
purchased by the Note pursuant to the Security Agreement attached hereto
as Exhibit B; or
---------
(f)d Consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise
program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; or
(e) A combination thereof; provided, however, that any payment in Stock or
by delivery of a Note shall be in strict compliance with all procedural
rules established by the Committee.
7. All rights of the Employee in this Option, to the extent that it has not been
exercised, shall terminate upon the death of the Employee (except as
hereinafter provided) or termination of her employment for any reason other
than retirement due to age or permanent and total disability, a Disability
Termination, termination by the Company without Cause, or voluntary
termination by the Employee for Good Reason, except as provided in Paragraph
4(b) with regard to the contemplation of a Change of Control. In the event of
the Employee=s retirement due to age or permanent and total disability, the
Employee may exercise the Option within three (3) years after such
retirement. In the event of the Employee's termination of employment due to a
Disability Termination (other than due to a permanent and total disability),
termination by the Company without Cause, or voluntary termination by the
Employee for Good Reason, the Employee may exercise the Option within one (1)
year after such termination. In the event of the Employee's death, her legal
representative or designated beneficiary shall have the right to exercise all
or a portion of the Employee's right under this Option. The representative or
designee must exercise the Option within one (1) year after the death of the
Employee, and shall be bound by the provisions of the Plan. In all cases,
however, the Option will expire no later than the expiration date set forth
in Paragraph 5.
8. The Employee shall remit to the Company payment for all applicable
withholding taxes and required social security contributions at the time the
Employee exercises any portion of this Option. The Employee may elect to
satisfy such withholding tax obligation by having the Company retain Stock
having a fair market value equal to the Company's minimum withholding
obligation.
9. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement nor any provision under either shall be
construed so as to grant the Employee any right to remain in the employ of
the Company, and it is expressly agreed and understood that employment is
terminable at the will of either party subject to the provisions of the
Employment Agreement.
