For this purpose, and subject to the remaining provisions of this Agreement, the Company hereby makes to the Manager an irrevocable offer, within the meaning of Article 66 and subsequent provisions of the Civil Code, to sell the Call Option Shares to the Manager for the Total Exercise Price free from any Encumbrances.
  • 2.2 Subject to Clause 7, as long as the Manager remains a member of the Supervisory Board or has ceased to be a member of the Supervisory Board, but is a Good Leaver, the Call Option shall be vested (i.e. the Manager will have the right to partially exercise

the Call Option with respect to such number of Call Option Shares as provided below) in the following manner:

  • 2.2.1 [●] Call Option Shares (i.e. 5% of the Call Option Shares to which the Manager is entitled) will be vested, if the Tested Share Price of the Shares equals at least 40.00 PLN (the "Tranche 1 Call Option");
  • 2.2.2 [●] Call Option Shares (i.e. 5% of the Call Option Shares to which the Manager is entitled) will be vested, if the Tested Share Price of the Shares equals at least 47.00 PLN (the "Tranche 2 Call Option");
  • 2.2.3 [●] Call Option Shares (i.e. 7.5% of the Call Option Shares to which the Manager is entitled) will be vested, if the Tested Share Price of the Shares equals at least 55.00 PLN (the "Tranche 3 Call Option");

For the avoidance of doubt, if within the period referred to in the preceding sentence, the Manager does not exercise the respective Call Option Tranche, he will irrevocably lose the right to acquire the Call Option Shares arising out of the respective Call Option Tranche without the right to any compensation.
  • 2.4 The Call Option is not transferable, thus it may not be Disposed of, Encumbered or otherwise transferred by the Manager, except for:
  • 2.4.1 to an entity directly or indirectly wholly owned by the Manager, provided that such entity adheres to this Agreement in accordance with the form attached to this Agreement as Schedule [2.4.1]; or
  • 2.4.2 inheritance.
  • 2.5 Notwithstanding what is provided in Clause 2.4.2, in order to acquire the rights arising out of this Agreement and the Resolution, the heirs of the Manager must present to the Company an official document confirming the inheritance from the Manager, in particular a court ruling or other official document, and execute the representation, substantially in the form of Schedule [2.5] hereto, stating that they assume all the rights and obligations arising out of this Agreement and the Resolution.
  • 2.6 For the avoidance of doubt, the Managers Percentage relates to the number of the shares in the share capital of the Company as of the date of the adoption of the Resolution and shall not increase the number of the Call Option Shares to which the Manager is entitled to in case of the increase of the share capital of the Company. However, in case the structure of the share capital is changed without an increase or

decrease of the share capital of the Company, in particular by way of a split of the Shares or changes in the nominal value of the Shares, the number of the Call Option Shares to which the Managers shall be entitled shall be recalculated by multiplying the Managers Percentage by the new number of Shares.

3. TESTED SHARE PRICE

  • 3.1 The Advisor will be responsible for calculating the Tested Share Price.
  • 3.2 During the entire LTIP Term, the Advisor will calculate the Tested Share Price on a regular basis. The Advisor shall regularly inform the Company about the Tested Share Price: (i) on the last Business Day of each week during the LTIP Term; or (ii) after the Tested Share Price reaches any of the price levels referred to in Clause 2.2, which would result in vesting of any of the Call Option Tranches, in which case the Advisor shall inform the Company within 1 (one) Business Day about such fact. The Company hereby undertakes to undertake all reasonably required actions in order to receive from any of the Significant Shareholders the information about the Exit Price, in which case it will pass such information to the Manager pursuant to Clause 3.3.
  • 3.3 Following the receipt by the Company of the information from the Advisor referred to in Clause 3.2(ii), the Company shall inform the Manager about the fact that the Tested Share Price has reached the price level as a result of which the given Call Option Tranche has vested (the "Tested Share Price Notice", substantially in the form of Schedule [3.3] hereto). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Tested Share Price reaches a level as a result of which a given Call Option Tranche to which the Manager is entitled vests, all earlier, but not yet vested, Call Option Tranches will also vest (for example, if the Tested Share Price of the Shares equals at least 70.00 PLN, as a result of which Tranche 5 Call Option Shares vest, then Tranches 1-4 Call Option Shares will also vest).
  • 3.4 If, in the opinion of the Manager, the Tested Share Price has been satisfied, but the Company did not deliver to the Manager the Tested Share Price Notice, the Manager shall provide the Company with a written calculation of the Tested Share Price confirming that the Tested Share Price has been met (the "Tested Share Price Calculation"). Within 5 (five) Business Days following the receipt of the Tested Share Price Calculation, the Company shall either: (i) provide the Manager with the Tested Share Price Notice; or (ii) inform the Manager in writing that, in the opinion of the Company, the Tested Share Price has not been met and there are no grounds to provide the Manager with the Tested Share Price Notice; together with such written notice, the Company shall provide the Manager with a calculation confirming that the Tested Share Price has not been met (the "Tested Share Price Rejection Notice"). The lack of delivery of the Tested Share Price Rejection Notice within the abovementioned deadline will be treated as the Company's consent to the Tested Share Price Calculation and the Manager will be entitled to request that the Broker transfer to the Manager the relevant portion of the Call Option Shares, following the payment by the Manager to the Company of the Exercise Price pursuant to Clause 5.
  • 3.5 In the event that, during the LTIP Term, the Tested Share Price for any of the respective Call Option Tranche Shares has not been met and such Call Option Tranche Shares were not vested, the Manager shall irrevocably lose the right to acquire such Call Option Tranche Shares without the right to any compensation.

4. EXERCISE OF THE CALL OPTION

  • 4.2 To execute the Call Option the Manager shall serve the Company a written notice regarding the exercise of the respective Call Option Tranche (the "Call Option

Exercise Notice"), substantially in the form of Schedule [4.2] hereto, stating the total Exercise Price for all the Call Option Shares for which the Call Option will be exercised and the number of such Shares being the product of the Exercise Price and the number of the Call Option Shares subject to the Call Option Exercise Notice (the "Call Option Price").

4.3 Without prejudice to Clause 5, the Manager shall pay the Call Option Price to the Company within 30 (thirty) days from the delivery of the Call Option Exercise Notice to the Company. As soon as practically possible from the date on which the Call Option Price is credited to the bank account of the Company, the respective Call Option Shares shall be transferred by the Broker to the securities account of the Manager. The settlement of the Call Option shall be conducted in accordance with Clause 8.

5. PAYMENT OF THE EXERCISE PRICE

  • 5.1 Subject to Clause 5.2, the Exercise Price for the respective Call Option Shares shall be paid by the Manager in cash, including the cash provided by the Company to the Manager, on an arm's length basis, by way of a loan or otherwise, to the bank account of the Company indicated in the Tested Share Price Notice.

  • 6.3 In case the Company elects to settle its obligation to deliver the Call Option Shares to the Manager in the form of the Cash Alternative voluntarily or because of the fact that the Company does not have enough Shares to transfer to the Manager, the Company will be responsible for all Taxes related thereto, and fully indemnifies the Manager for any and all tax liabilities arising in connection with paying the Cash Alternative; however, only with respect to the amount which constitutes the difference between the tax liabilities due in relation to: (i) the settlement of the Call Option by way of delivering to the Manager the Call Option Shares; and (ii) the settlement of the Call Option by way of the Cash Alternative.
