Should a stock option owner cease to be employed by or in the service of the Group, for any reason other than the death or the statutory retirement of a stock option owner, such person shall, without delay, forfeit to the Company or its order, free of charge, the stock options for which the share subscription period specified in Section II.2 has not begun, on the last day of such person's employment or service.

The share subscription price of the stock options may be decreased in certain cases mentioned in Section 7 below. The share subscription price shall, nevertheless, always amount to at least EUR 0.01. 4. Registration of Shares Shares subscribed for and fully paid shall be registered in the book-entry account of the subscriber. 5. Shareholder Rights The dividend rights of the new shares and other shareholder rights shall commence when the shares have been entered in the Trade Register. If existing shares, held by the Company, are given to the subscriber of shares, the subscriber shall be entitled to dividend and other shareholder rights when the shares have been subscribed and paid. 6. Share Issues, Stock Options and other special Rights entitling to Shares before Share Subscription Should the Company, before the share subscription, decide on an issue of shares or an issue of new stock options or other special rights entitling to shares, a stock option owner shall have the same right as, or an equal right to, that of a shareholder. Equality is reached in the manner determined by the Board of Directors by adjusting the number of shares available for subscription, the share subscription price or both of these. 7. Rights in Certain Cases If the Company distributes dividends or funds from the paid-up unrestricted equity reserve, from the share subscription price of the stock options shall be deducted the amount of the dividend or the amount of the distributable non-restricted equity decided after the beginning of the period for determination of the share subscription price but before share subscription, as per the dividend record date or the record date of the repayment of equity. If the Company reduces its share capital by distributing share capital to the shareholders, from the share subscription price of the stock options shall be deducted the amount of the distributable share capital decided after the beginning of the period for determination of the share subscription price but before share subscription, as per the record date of the repayment of share capital. If the Company is placed in liquidation before the share subscription, the stock option owner shall be given an opportunity to exercise his/her share subscription right, within a period of time determined by the Board of Directors. If the Company is deleted from the register, before the share subscription, the stock option owner shall have the same right as, or an equal right to, that of a shareholder.

If the Company, however, resolves to repurchase or redeem its own shares from all shareholders, the stock option owners shall be made an equivalent offer. If a redemption right and obligation to all of the Company's shares, as referred to in Chapter 18 Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act, arises to any of the shareholders, before the end of the share subscription period, on the basis that a shareholder possesses over 90 % of the shares and the votes of the shares of the Company, the stock option owners shall be given a possibility to use their right of share subscription by virtue of the stock options, within a period of time determined by the Board of Directors, or the stock option owners shall have an equal obligation to that of shareholders to transfer their stock options to the redeemer, irrespective of the transfer restriction defined in Section I.5 above.

Other matters related to the stock options shall be decided on by the Board of Directors. The Company shall be entitled to withdraw the stock options which have not been transferred, or with which shares have not been subscribed for, free of charge, if the stock option owner acts against these terms and conditions, or against the instructions given by the Company on the basis of these terms and conditions, or against applicable law, or against the regulations of the authorities. The Company can keep stock option owners on register including stock option owners' personal data. The Company can send information on the stock options to the stock option owners by e- mail.
