Dear «M_1st_Name»:
I am pleased to inform you that on «Grant_Date» the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of IntriCon Corporation granted you options to purchase «Shares» Common Shares of the Company under the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) at an exercise price of $«Price» per share.
The options granted to you are intended to be non-qualified stock options.
These options will become exercisable as follows:
| Date First Exercisable | Number of Shares | ||||
| «M_1st_Exercise» | «M__shares» | ||||
| «M_2nd_Ex» | «M__shares1» | ||||
| «M_3rd_Ex» | «M__shares2» | ||||
The exercise price for your options shall be payable in cash, by the “net exercise” method without the payment of cash or as otherwise permitted under the Plan.
Once options become exercisable, they will remain exercisable until they are exercised or until they terminate. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the Plan, all options granted hereby shall terminate on «Terminate» (the “Scheduled Expiration Date”). While the specific terms of the Plan will govern, generally:
| · | If your directorship is terminated due to your death or Disability (as defined in the Plan), all of your options will become immediately exercisable in full and may be exercised at any time prior to the Scheduled Expiration Date; |
| · | If your directorship is terminated due to your Retirement (as defined in the Plan), all of your options will become immediately exercisable in full and may be exercised at any time prior to the Scheduled Expiration Date; |
| · | If your directorship is terminated due to any other reason, any options that you had that were not exercisable as of the date of the termination of your directorship will expire. You may exercise options that were exercisable as of the date of the termination of your directorship at any time prior to the earlier of (a) 90 days after the date of termination of your directorship and (b) the Scheduled Expiration Date. |
