Non-Qualified Stock Option
This Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into between CST Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and Participant pursuant to the terms of the CST Brands, Inc. 2013 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (as may be amended, the “Plan”). As used herein, “Participant” means «First_Name» «Middle_Name» «Last_Name», an Employee of Company. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
1.Grant of Stock Option. Company grants to Participant a Non-qualified Stock Option (the “Stock Option”) on «Option_Date» (“Date of Grant”) to purchase up to «Shares_Granted» shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan. The Shares, when issued to Participant upon the exercise of the Stock Option, will be fully paid and non-assessable.
2.    Purchase Price. The Option Price of the Shares will be «Option_Price» per Share.
3.    Term of Award. The Award Period during which the Stock Option is in effect will commence on the Date of Grant and end on the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant, unless the Stock Option otherwise terminates or is forfeited under the terms of the Plan or this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Award Period, including, without limitation, in connection with Participant’s termination of service as an Employee as provided under Article 8 of the Plan.
4.    Exercise of Stock Option. No portion of the Stock Option may be exercised prior to «Vest_Date_Period_1» and may only be exercised to the extent the Shares under the Stock Option had vested in accordance with the schedule below. Subject to the provisions of the Plan relating to suspension or termination from the Plan or forfeiture and lapsing of the Stock Option, the Shares under the Stock Option will be available for exercise in the following increments, provided Participant has continually remained an Employee through such dates: «Shares_Period_1» shares vest on «Vest_Date_Period_1»; «Shares_Period_2» shares vest on «Vest_Date_Period_2»; and «Shares_Period_3» shares vest on «Vest_Date_Period_3».
The Stock Option must be exercised in accordance with the Plan and administrative regulations established by the Committee by delivering to the Company’s principal business office: (1) an Exercise Notice in the form approved by the Committee that designates the Exercise Date and the number of Shares under the Stock Option to be exercised and (2) full payment for the total Option Price of the Shares to be exercised on the Exercise Date. Failure to exercise the Stock Option in accordance with the Plan and the regulations established by the Committee shall render such exercise ineffective. In the event of any failure by Participant to pay for the number of Shares specified in the Exercise Notice on the Exercise Date, the exercise of the Stock Option with respect to such number of Shares will be treated as if it had never been made.
