The notice will set forth the Exercise Period, which shall, to the extent possible taking into account the circumstances and process related to the Change in Control, give the Holder reasonable time to decide whether to Exercise any vested Employee Stock Options. The Holder shall during the Exercise Period be entitled to Exercise any Employee Stock Options which have vested in accordance with these terms and conditions. The Board shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to decide whether to adopt a new Expiration Date so that, at the conclusion of such Exercise Period, any unvested Employee Stock Options shall lapse, or whether unvested Employee Stock Options will continue to vest.

9.3.2

In the event of a transaction as described in clause 9.3.1, the Holder shall always be obliged upon the Board’s request to, in case of (a) in clause 9.3.1, waive any rights under the Employee Stock Options provided that the Holder receives substantially equivalent rights in the new holding company as the Holder had in the Company immediately before such transaction or, in case of (b) in clause 9.3.1, approve any such amendment to these terms and conditions. No waiver shall be requested or required, and the Company may act unilaterally in accordance with this clause 9.3.2, provided that the Employee Stock Options preserve the material terms and conditions of the underlying rights, including the vesting schedule and the intrinsic value of the Employee Stock Option as of immediately prior to such transaction.

The Board shall hold any payment received for the benefit of the Holder under this clause 12 on behalf of the Holder and separated from any other funds.

For the avoidance of doubt, any Withholding Obligation (whether preliminary or deducted at source) on employment income, dividends and capital gains will always be considered as Holder’s Tax Liability.

13.3

The calculation of any Withholding Obligation or Holder’s Tax Liability, as applicable, will be subject to applicable rules and regulations and based on the applicable tax rates, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion in connection with determining the Holder’s Payment Obligations.
