The option described in this agreement (the “Agreement”) is granted by Kangaroo Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to the undersigned (the “Optionee”), pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference, and of which the Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt. Unless otherwise expressly provided for herein, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan. The terms “Cause,” “Good Reason” and “Disability” shall have the meaning set forth in the Optionee’s Employment Agreement with OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC and the Company (with respect to certain sections only) dated November 2, 2009 and effective November 16, 2009 (the “Employment Agreement”). For the purpose of this Agreement, the “Grant Date” shall mean November 16, 2009.

1. Grant of Option. The Agreement evidences the grant by the Company on the Grant Date to the Optionee of an option to purchase (the “Option”), in whole or in part, on the terms provided herein and in the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Option Shares”), as set forth below and in each case subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7 of the Plan in respect of transactions occurring after the date hereof:

 

  (a) 1,087,500 Shares at $3.00 per Option Share (the “Tranche A Option Shares”);

For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, “qualifying subsidiary” means a subsidiary of the Company as to which the Company has a “controlling interest” as described in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii)(E)(1).


2. Vesting. Shares subject to the Option, unless earlier terminated or forfeited, will become vested and exercisable as follows:

 

  (a) Tranche A: The Tranche A Option Shares shall vest and become exercisable in five (5) equal installments (each with respect to 20% of the Tranche A Option Shares) on each of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth anniversary of the Grant Date, subject, in each case, to the Optionee remaining in continuous Employment on each applicable vesting date.

 

  (b) Tranche B: The Tranche B Option Shares shall become vested, but shall not become exercisable except as otherwise provided below, in five (5) equal installments (each with respect to 20% of the Tranche B Option Shares) on each of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth anniversary of the Grant Date, subject, in each case, to the Optionee remaining in continuous Employment on each applicable vesting date. The Tranche B Option Shares shall only become exercisable upon a Qualifying Liquidity Event B. The Tranche B Option Shares which are vested as of the date of a Qualifying Liquidity Event B shall be exercisable immediately upon such Qualifying Liquidity Event B, and Tranche B Option Shares which are not yet vested as of a Qualifying Liquidity Event B and which thereafter become vested as a result of the Optionee’s continued Employment shall become exercisable as of the date they become vested as provided for in this subsection (b) (unless they have ceased to be outstanding under Section 4 below).

 

  (c) Tranche C: The Tranche C Option Shares shall become vested, but shall not become exercisable except as otherwise provided below, in five (5) equal installments (each with respect to 20% of the Tranche C Option Shares) on each of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth anniversary of the Grant Date, subject, in each case, to the Optionee remaining in continuous Employment on each applicable vesting date. The Tranche C Option Shares shall only become exercisable upon a Qualifying Liquidity Event C. The Tranche C Option Shares which are vested as of the date of a Qualifying Liquidity Event C shall be exercisable immediately upon such Qualifying Liquidity Event C, and Tranche C Option Shares which are not yet vested as of a Qualifying Liquidity Event C and which thereafter become vested as a result of the Optionee’s continued Employment shall become exercisable as of the date they become vested as provided for in this subsection (c) (unless they have ceased to be outstanding under Section 4 below).

  applicable vesting date. The Tranche D Option Shares shall only become exercisable upon a Qualifying Liquidity Event D. The Tranche D Option Shares which are vested as of the date of a Qualifying Liquidity Event D shall be exercisable immediately upon such Qualifying Liquidity Event D, and Tranche D Option Shares which are not yet vested as of a Qualifying Liquidity Event D and which thereafter become vested as a result of the Optionee’s continued Employment shall become exercisable as of the date they become vested as provided for in this subsection (d) (unless they have ceased to be outstanding under Section 4 below).

 

  (e) Special Rules. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsections (a), (b) (c) or (d) of this Section 2, (i) the Tranche A, B, C or D Option Shares, to the extent then outstanding, shall become fully vested and exercisable upon a termination of Employment by the Optionee for any reason on or after the first anniversary of an Applicable Qualifying CIC Liquidity Event, and (ii) in the event of termination of the Optionee’s Employment (X) by the Company without Cause or (Z) by the Optionee for Good Reason, the Applicable Percentage of the Option Shares that have not yet vested as of the date of such Employment termination shall vest immediately upon such termination of Employment, and shall become exercisable either immediately, in the case of Tranche A Option Shares, or, to the extent then outstanding, upon an Applicable Qualifying Liquidity Event (or immediately in the event an Applicable Qualifying Liquidity Event has occurred prior to such termination of employment), in the case of Tranche B, C or D Option Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control that does not meet the requirements of a Qualifying CIC Liquidity Event B, a Qualifying CIC Liquidity Event C, or a Qualifying CIC Liquidity Event D, any tranche of Option Shares that does not become exercisable as a result of such Change in Control shall immediately expire upon such Change in Control.

3. Exercise of Option. Each election to exercise this Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Agreement and shall be in writing, signed by the Optionee, or by her executor or administrator, or by the person or persons to whom this Option is transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution (the “Legal Representative”), and made pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan. The latest date on which this Option may be exercised (the “Final Exercise Date”) is the date which is the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement.

4. Cessation of Employment. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the following will apply if the Optionee’s Employment ceases:

-3-


  (b) To the extent the Option is vested prior to termination of Employment, or becomes vested as a result of such termination of Employment, the Option will remain outstanding for one year following such termination of Employment in the case of a termination of Employment on account of the Optionee’s death or Disability.

 

  (c) To the extent the Option is vested prior to termination of Employment, or becomes vested as a result of such termination of Employment, the Option will remain outstanding for ninety (90) days in the case of Tranche A Option Shares, and one hundred eighty (180) days in the case of Tranche B, C, or D Option Shares following such termination of Employment in the case of a termination of Employment by the Optionee for any reason other than Good Reason that occurs prior to the occurrence of a Qualifying Liquidity Event.

 

  (d) To the extent the Option is vested prior to termination of Employment, or becomes vested as a result of such termination of Employment, the Option will remain outstanding following such termination of Employment in the case of a termination of Employment by the Company without Cause or by the Optionee for Good Reason that occurs prior to the occurrence of a Qualifying Liquidity Event in accordance with the following schedule:

-5-


  (b) Section 5.1.2 of the Stockholders Agreement, as applied to the Optionee’s Option Shares, is modified as follows: a Management Call Option may be exercised by delivery of the Management Call Notice (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) to Optionee no later than the 90th day (or, in the case of termination of Employment by the Company other than for Cause or by the Optionee for Good Reason, no earlier than the 181st day and no later than the 210th day) after the later of (a) effectiveness of the applicable termination of Employment and (b) the date on which any Option Shares are purchased by the Optionee.

7. Legends. Certificates evidencing any shares issued upon exercise of the Option granted hereby shall bear such legends as are required by the Stockholders Agreement, and as may be determined by the Administrator prior to issuance.

8. Withholding; Satisfaction of Exercise Price. No Stock will be transferred pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless and until the person exercising this Option shall have remitted to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding tax requirements, or shall have made other arrangements satisfactory to the Company with respect to such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Plan, the Administrator shall permit the Optionee (or her permitted transferees, if applicable), at the Optionee’s (or her permitted transferees’) election, to exercise all or any portion of her then-exercisable Option through net-physical settlement (i.e. withholding of shares of Stock equal in value to the exercise price in lieu of delivery by the Optionee of the exercise price) or by delivery of shares of Stock owned by the Optionee (to satisfy both the exercise price and any applicable withholding taxes), to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code.

9. Nontransferability of Option. This Option is not transferable by the Optionee other than by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during the Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee.

10. Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of this Option, nor the issuance of Stock upon exercise of this Option, shall give the Optionee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or its Affiliates, affect the right of the Company or its Affiliates to discharge or discipline such Optionee at any time or affect any right of such Optionee to terminate her Employment at any time.

11. Provisions of the Plan. This Option is subject in its entirety to the provisions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Plan as in effect on the date of the grant of this Option has been furnished to the Optionee. By exercising all or any part of this Option, the Optionee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Option. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Option and the Plan, the terms of this Option shall control.

12. Dividends. In the event the Company pays a dividend (whether in cash or other property) to its stockholders: (a) with respect to the portion, if any, of the Option outstanding on the record date for such dividend (the “Dividend Record Date”) that is vested and exercisable as of such Dividend Record Date, the Company shall pay to the Optionee (or her permitted transferees) on the date the dividend is actually paid, pursuant to a separate arrangement that shall in no way be contingent upon the exercise (in whole or in part) of the Option, a bonus in respect of each Option Share underlying such portion of the Option that is vested and exercisable on the Dividend Record Date equal to the per share dividend that was actually paid to the Company stockholders in respect of each share of Company Common Stock outstanding on the Dividend Record Date (which bonus shall be payable in the same form of consideration as is received by the Company stockholders in respect of such dividend); and (b) with respect to the portion, if any, of the Option outstanding on the Dividend Record Date that is unvested or unexercisable as of such Dividend Record Date, the Company shall pay to the Optionee (or her permitted transferees) on the applicable date or dates set forth in the immediately succeeding sentence, pursuant to a separate arrangement that shall in no way be contingent upon the exercise (in whole or in part) of the Option, a bonus in respect of each Option Share underlying such portion of the Option that is unvested or unexercisable on the Dividend Record Date (such bonus, the “Designated Bonus”) equal to the per share dividend that was actually paid to the Company stockholders in respect of each share of Company Common Stock outstanding on the Dividend Record Date (which bonus shall be payable in the same form of consideration as is received by the Company stockholders in respect of such dividend). Any Designated Bonus will be paid (1) in the case of a Designated Bonus that relates to Tranche A Option Shares, in pro rata installments on each vesting date for such Tranche A Option Shares that follows the Dividend Record Date, subject to Optionee’s continued Employment through and including such applicable vesting date, commencing with the first vesting date following the Dividend Record Date, or (2) in the case of a Designated Bonus that relates to Tranche B, C or D Option Shares, on the date the applicable portion of the Option becomes exercisable (if at all), based on the number of Option Shares for which the Option so becomes exercisable on such date, subject to the Optionee’s continued Employment through and including such applicable vesting date. If it is determined that any adjustment or payment referred to in this Section 12 does not comply with Section 409A of the Code, or would cause any tax to become due under Section 409A, or adversely effects the Option, the Company and the Optionee shall use their reasonable efforts and take reasonable actions necessary to put the Optionee in the same position she would have been in if the payment was permitted or would not cause a tax to become due under Section 409A, to the extent reasonably practicable. It is the intent of the parties that any adjustment or payment under this Section 12 comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
