买入期权

1.1 创始人不可撤销地授予买方购买创始人持有的所有股份的期权（“期权”）。一旦买方在意识到任何自动行权事件后的三个月内向创始人发出期权通知，则可以行使期权。

1.2 期权通知必须注明期权交割日期（“期权交割日”），其应为期权通知日期后10-60天内（营业日），并注明与期权通知相关的股份（期权股）。

1.3 买方应向创始人就期权股支付的对价总额（"期权价"）应等于期权股数量乘以人民币[*]。

1.4 于期权交割日：

1.4.1 买方应以即刻可用的资金向创始人支付期权价，即向《购股协议》中阐述的创始人的银行账户以电子转账方式汇入期权价的当日价值；

1.4.2 创始人应向买方转让不附带任何权利负担或第三方权利的期权股，以及附于期权股的所有权利；

1.4.3 创始人应向买方交付经正式签署的以买方为受益人的期权股转让书，以及与该股份有关的股份证明；

1.4.4 创始人应向买方交付经创始人正式签署的信函：(i) 放弃针对任何集团公司、买方或其附属公司的与其雇佣或任何交易文件或其他方面有关的索赔或起诉权，及(ii) 放弃针对任何集团公司或买方的与任何交易文件或其他方面有关的索赔或起诉权。

1.5 若在期权交割日之前，创始人未能履行上述相关条款规定的义务，董事会可（且应，若经买方申请）授权任何董事代表创始人签署、填写相关条款提及的文件，并在公司收到期权价后交付上述文件。在正确盖章的前提下（若适用），董事会应授权登记相关转让；之后，任何人不得质疑该转让的有效性。公司应代创始人保管期权价，且不承担任何利息。公司收到有关期权股的对价即意味着买方履行了付款义务。创始人应就其依据本相关条款转让的上述期权股向公司递交股份证明（或提供在形式上符合董事会要求的相关补偿），并有权就该期权股获得对价，其应被立即支付给创始人。

1.6 若在创始人提起的诉讼中，最终认定买方无权依据本相关条款行使期权，创始人将有权向买方发出书面通知，而在创始人以即刻可用的资金向买方偿付期权价（即向《购股协议》中阐述的买方的银行账户（作为买方账户）以电子转账方式汇入期权价的当日价值）后，买方应签署各种必要文件，并采取其他必要措施，以向创始人转让期权股，并使创始人成为期权股的合法及受益所有人，并偿还在期权交割日至期权股依据本相关条款被归还给创始人之日基于该期权股宣布及支付的所有股息或其他分配物，且不损害创始人可拥有的其他权利。买方应向创始人支付创始人所发生的与本相关条款有关的成本，其金额为最终判定应由买方支付的金额。
