Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the statements include all adjustments necessary, which are of a normal and recurring nature, for the fair presentation of our financial position and of the results for the interim periods presented.

 

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2005, included in Websense, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2006. The balance sheet at December 31, 2005 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

 

2. Stock Split

 

On January 31, 2006, the Company announced that the Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock split of the Company’s common stock, to be effected in the form of a special dividend of one share of its common stock for each share of its common stock outstanding. The additional shares issued as a result of the stock split were distributed on March 17, 2006 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 13, 2006. All prior year share and option amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been restated to reflect the stock split.

 

3. Net Income Per Share

 

Websense computes net income per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share (EPS) (SFAS No. 128). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares for all periods presented consist of dilutive stock options and restricted stock subject to vesting.

 

During the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the difference between the weighted average shares used in determining basic EPS versus diluted EPS related to dilutive stock options totaled 1,099,000 and 2,138,000 shares, respectively. Potentially dilutive securities totaling 3,367,000 and 76,000 shares for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were excluded from historical basic and diluted earnings per share because of their anti-dilutive effect as a result of stock options which have exercise prices greater than the average market price of the common shares.

5. Stockholders Equity

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

Through December 31, 2005, the Company accounted for share-based employee compensation plans under the measurement and recognition provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 25 (APB No. 25), and related Interpretations, as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123). Accordingly, the Company recorded no share-based employee compensation expense for options granted under its Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (2000 Plan) or its predecessor plans (or options granted as non-plan inducement options) during the three months ended March 31, 2005 as all other options granted had exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The Company also recorded no compensation expense in connection with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2005 as the purchase price of the stock was not less than 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning of each offering period or at the end of each purchase period. In accordance with SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure (SFAS No. 148), the Company disclosed net income or

 

6



 

loss and net income or loss per share as if the fair value-based method was applied in measuring compensation expense for share-based incentive programs.

 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

In February 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Purchase Plan). The Purchase Plan provides for automatic annual increases in the number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder (beginning in 2001) equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of the Company’s outstanding shares on the last business day in December of the calendar year immediately preceding or (ii) 750,000 shares. The Purchase Plan is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Purchase Plan, the Board of Directors may authorize participation by eligible employees, including officers, in periodic offerings following commencement of the Purchase Plan.

 

Unless otherwise determined by the Board or precluded by laws of foreign jurisdictions, employees are eligible to participate in the Purchase Plan provided they are employed for at least 20 hours per week and are customarily employed for at least five months per calendar year. Employees who participate in an offering may have up to 15% of their earnings withheld pursuant to the Purchase Plan. The amount withheld is then used to purchase shares of common stock on specified dates. The price of common stock purchased pursuant to the Purchase Plan will be equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock at the commencement date of each offering period or the relevant purchase date. Employees may end their participation in the offering at any time during the offering period, and participation ends automatically on termination of employment. At March 31, 2006, 1,679,830 shares were available for issuance under the Purchase Plan.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005, the Company issued no shares under the Purchase Plan as shares are only issued in April and October of each year.

 

Employee Stock Option Plan

 

The Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (2000 Plan) provides for the grant of stock options to the Company’s directors, officers, employees and consultants. The 2000 Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-statutory stock options, restricted stock units and rights to purchase stock to employees, directors or consultants of the Company. The 2000 Plan provides that incentive stock options will be granted only to employees and are subject to certain limitations as to fair value during a calendar year.

 

In addition, the 2000 Plan provides for automatic annual increases in the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance thereunder (beginning in 2001) equal to the lesser of (i) 4% of the Company’s outstanding shares on the last business day in December of the calendar year immediately preceding or (ii) 3,000,000 shares. At March 31, 2006, a total of 19,558,162 shares have been authorized for issuance under the 2000 Plan, of which 2,955,772 remain available for grant.

 

The exercise price of incentive stock options must equal at least the fair value on the date of grant and the exercise price of non-statutory stock options and the issuance price of common stock under the stock issuance program may be no less than 85% of the fair value on the date of grant or issuance. Through April 2005, the option grants were generally exercisable for a period of ten years, and beginning in May 2005, the option grants are generally exercisable for a period of seven years after the date of grant and generally vest 25% one year from date of grant and ratably each month thereafter for a period of 36 months. Unvested common shares obtained through early exercise of stock options are subject to repurchase by the Company at the original issue price. To date, only non-statutory stock options and restricted stock units have been granted under the 2000 Plan. Through March 31, 2006, the Company has granted 96,000 restricted stock units. The unvested restricted stock

units have a weighted average grant date fair value of $32.24 and an aggregate intrinsic value of $2.6 million as of March 31, 2006.

 

In 2002, the Company issued stock options as an incentive for certain persons to commence employment that were not covered under the 2000 Plan. In accordance with Section 4350(i) of the NASD Marketplace Rules for the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company issued 354,000 such stock options, which have substantially the same terms as stock options issued under the 2000 Plan.

 

In January 2006, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Gene Hodges to serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, reporting to the Company’s Board of Directors, with employment continuing “at will” until either party gives notice of termination. In January 2006, Mr. Hodges was also granted non-qualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock outside the Company’s 2000 Plan (the “Options”) with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on that date. In April 2006, at the request of the Company, Mr. Hodges agreed to the cancellation of the Options and the immediate re-grant under the 2000 Plan of non-qualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock with identical option terms, exercise prices, vesting schedules and vesting commencement dates as the original Options. The Company requested the cancellation and re-grant to bring the Options under the 2000 Plan for U.S. federal income tax and accounting reasons and to better align Mr. Hodges’ compensation with stockholder approved limitations on stock option issuances. Mr. Hodges received no income tax or other personal benefit from the cancellation and re-grant.

(1)  The Company had an effective tax rate of 36% in the three months ended March 31, 2005.

 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), using the modified prospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation expense that the Company recognized beginning on that date includes: (a) compensation expense for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation expense for all share-based payments granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Results for prior periods will not be restated. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 include share-based compensation expense of $4.7 (excluding tax effects) million in the following expense categories of the consolidated statement of income.

At March 31, 2006, there was $60.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements granted under all equity compensation plans (excluding tax effects). That total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures. The Company expects to recognize that cost over a weighted average period of approximately 3 years.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the assumptions shown in the table below. The Company estimates the expected term of options granted based on the history of grants and exercises in the Company’s option database. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on both the historical volatility as well as the implied volatility of publicly traded options on its common stock, consistent with SFAS No. 123(R) and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate that is used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model on the implied yield in effect at the time of option grant on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with equivalent remaining terms. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company amortizes the fair value ratably over the vesting period of the awards, which is typically four years. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records share-based expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. For purposes of calculating pro forma information under SFAS No. 123 for periods prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.

 

The Company used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of stock options granted for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005:

Treasury Stock

 

On April 3, 2003, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to 4 million shares of its common stock. On August 15, 2005, the Company announced that its Board of Directors increased the size of the stock repurchase program by an additional 4 million shares, for a total program size of up to 8 million shares. The repurchases will be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions. Depending on market conditions and other factors, purchases under this program may be commenced or suspended at any time, or from time to time, without prior notice. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had repurchased 4,170,060 shares of its common stock under this program, for an aggregate of $87.9 million at an average price of $21.08 per share.

 

As of December 31, 2004, the Company retired all 2,012,000 shares of its common stock that had been repurchased prior to that date. In accordance with APB 6, Status of Accounting Research Bulletins, the treasury stock retirement was effected by reducing the following on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet:  treasury stock by $30.7 million, common stock by $0.1 million, additional paid-in capital by $6.4 million and retained earnings by $24.2 million. There was no effect to the Company’s overall equity position as a result of the retirement.

 

6. Foreign Currency Hedges

 

The Company uses derivatives to manage foreign currency risk and not for speculative or trading purposes. The Company’s objective is to reduce the risk to earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair values of those derivative instruments will be recorded to earnings or other comprehensive income depending on the use of the derivative instrument and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting.

 

During 2005, the Company utilized Euro foreign currency forward contracts and British Pound foreign currency forward contracts. During 2006, the Company utilized Euro foreign currency forward contracts and British Pound zero-cost collar contracts to hedge anticipated expenses. All such contracts entered into were designated as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges and were considered effective, as defined by SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133), as amended. None of the contracts were terminated prior to settlement. Net realized losses related to the contracts designated as fair value hedges settled during the quarter are included in other income, net, in the accompanying consolidated income statements and amounted to ($47,000) and ($7,000) in the three months ending March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net realized losses related to the contracts designated as cash flow hedges settled during the quarter are included in the respective operating categories the Company hedges its British Pound

expenditures against in the accompanying consolidated income statements and amounted to ($20,000) in the three months ending March 31, 2006. There were no such gains or losses in the three months ended March 31, 2005.

 

Notional and fair values of the Company’s hedging position at March 31, 2006 and 2005 are presented in the table below (in thousands):

Euro forward contracts at March 31, 2006 were designated as fair value hedges and were not required to be tested for effectiveness as hedge accounting was not desired. Euro forward contracts at March 31, 2005 were designated as cash flow hedges and determined effective. All Euro contracts will be settled before May 31, 2006. Realized gains or losses related to the settlements, if any, will be recorded in other income, net at the time of settlement.

 

All British Pound contracts were designated as cash flow hedges and were determined effective as of March 31, 2006 and 2005. All British Pound contracts will be settled before September 30, 2006. Realized gains and losses related to the settlements, if any, will be recorded in the respective operating categories the Company hedges its British Pound expenditures against.

 

7. Interest on Cash and Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s interest on cash and marketable securities, included as a component of other income, net, is $2.6 million and $1.0 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

8. Tax Matters

 

From time to time, the Company is audited by various state, federal, and international authorities relating to tax matters. The Company fully cooperates with all audits, and defends its positions vigorously. The Company’s audits are in various stages of completion; however, no outcome for a particular audit can be determined with certainty prior to the conclusion of the audit and appeals process. Adjustments, if any, are appropriately recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period they became probable and estimable.

9. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

On June 1, 2005 the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS No. 154), which replaces APB No. 20, Accounting Changes (APB No. 20), and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. APB No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. The Company's adoption of this new standard in the first quarter of 2006 did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

On February 16, 2006 the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments (SFAS No. 155), which amends SFAS No. 133, and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS No. 140). SFAS No. 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 also clarifies and amends certain other provisions of SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect its adoption of this new standard in 2007 to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 (our “2005 Annual Report”), that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of this report.

 

Overview

 

We provide employee internet management (EIM) and web security software products that enable organizations to reduce the risks associated with web-based malicious attacks, spyware, and phishing, as well as analyze, report and manage how their employees use computing resources. At the foundation of our product offering is the Websense Enterprise® software application, which serves as a central policy engine and management and reporting console and enables the extended functionality of our add-on products. Websense Enterprise gives organizations the ability to enhance network security, improve employee productivity, mitigate potential legal liability and conserve network bandwidth by allowing organizations to identify potential risk areas and implement web access and application usage policies that reduce these risks. Over the past 10 years, our products have evolved from software that prevents employees from downloading unacceptable content to products that prevent employee access to the most undesirable and dangerous elements on the internet, such as websites that contain or will download viruses, spyware, keyloggers, phishing exploits and an ever-increasing variety of malicious code.

 

In 1996, we released our first software product, Websense Internet Screening System. Since that time, we have focused our business on developing and selling EIM and web security solutions. Websense Enterprise and Websense Enterprise – Corporate Edition™ are our core web filtering solutions, providing fully featured web filtering and serving as management platforms for related Websense add-on modules, such as our Premium Groups™, Real Time Security Updates™, Bandwidth Optimizer™, Instant Messaging (IM) Attachment Manager™, Client Policy Manager™ and Remote Filtering. We have also created suites of some of our products to address specific customer needs, such as the Websense Web Security Suite™ and Websense Web Security Suite – Lockdown Edition™. We currently derive all of

 

13



 

our revenue from subscriptions to the Websense Enterprise-based solutions and expect this to continue in the future as more offerings are added to the Websense Enterprise platforms. In October 2005, we announced an agreement with Nortel Networks to develop a web content filtering solution to protect GSM/UMTS mobile handsets from receiving and accessing unwanted content. We expect field verification for the mobile handset filtering product to occur in mid 2006.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we derived 35% of revenue from international sales, compared with 32% for the three months ended March 31, 2005, with the United Kingdom comprising approximately 10% of our total revenue in both periods. We believe international markets continue to represent a significant growth opportunity and we are continuing to expand our international operations, particularly in selected countries in the European, Asia/Pacific and Latin American markets.

 

We sell Websense Enterprise through both indirect channels and directly. Sales through indirect channels currently account for more than 80% of our revenue, and our strategy is to increase the proportion of our sales made through indirect channels.

 

As described elsewhere in this report, we recognize revenue from subscriptions to Websense Enterprise, including add-on modules, on a monthly straight-line basis over the term of the subscription. We recognize the operating expenses related to these sales as they are incurred. These operating expenses include sales commissions, which are based on the total amount of the subscription contract and are fully expensed in the period the product is delivered. Operating expenses have continued to increase as compared with prior periods due to expanded selling and marketing efforts, continued product research and development and investments in administrative infrastructure to support subscription sales that we will recognize as revenue in subsequent periods.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition. When a purchase decision is made for Websense Enterprise, customers enter into a subscription agreement, which is generally 12, 24 or 36 months in duration and for a fixed number of users. Other services such as upgrades/enhancements and standard post-contract technical support services are sold together with Websense Enterprise and provided throughout the subscription term. We recognize revenue on a monthly straight-line basis, commencing with the month the subscription begins, over the term of the subscription agreement, provided collectibility is reasonably assured. Upon entering into a subscription arrangement for a fixed or determinable fee, we electronically deliver access codes to users and then promptly invoice customers for the full amount of their subscriptions. Payment is due for the full term of the subscription, generally within 30 to 60 days of the invoice. We record amounts billed to customers in excess of recognizable revenue as deferred revenue on our balance sheet. Upon expiration of the subscription, customers who wish to re-subscribe typically must do so at the then current rates to continue using Websense Enterprise. Our revenue is significantly influenced by new and renewal subscriptions, and a decrease in subscription amounts could negatively impact our future revenue.

 

Accounting for Share-Based Compensation. Through December 31, 2005, we accounted for share-based employee compensation plans under the measurement and recognition provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 25 (APB No. 25), and related Interpretations, as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123). Accordingly, we recorded no share-based employee compensation expense for options granted under our Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (2000 Plan) or its predecessor plans (or options granted as non-plan inducement options) during the three months ended March 31, 2005 as all other options granted had exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. We also recorded no compensation expense in connection with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan as the purchase price of the stock was not less than 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning of each offering period or at the end of each purchase period. In accordance with SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure (SFAS No. 148), we disclosed

 

14



 

net income or loss and net income or loss per share as if the fair value-based method was applied in measuring compensation expense for share-based incentive programs.

 

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), using the modified prospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation expense that we recognized beginning on that date includes: (a) compensation expense for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation expense for all share-based payments granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Results for prior periods will not be restated. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 include share-based compensation expense of $4.7 million (excluding tax effects). Compensation expense related to share-based awards is generally amortized over the vesting period in the related expense categories of the consolidated statement of income.

 

At March 31, 2006, there was $60.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements granted under all equity compensation plans (excluding tax effects). That total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures. We expect to recognize that cost over a weighted average period of approximately 3 years.

 

We estimate the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the assumptions described below. We estimate the expected term of options granted based on the history of grants and exercises in our option database. We estimate the volatility of our common stock at the date of grant based on both the historical volatility as well as the implied volatility of publicly traded options on our common stock, consistent with SFAS No. 123(R) and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. We base the risk-free interest rate that is used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model on the implied yield in effect at the time of option grant on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with equivalent remaining terms. We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, we use an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model. We amortize the fair value ratably over the vesting period of the awards, which is typically four years. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and record share-based expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. For purposes of calculating pro forma information under SFAS No. 123 for periods prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for forfeitures as they occurred. We may elect to use different assumptions under the Black-Scholes option valuation model in the future or select a different option valuation model altogether, which could materially affect our net income or loss and net income or loss per share in the future.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of our customers to pay their invoices. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

 

Deferred Tax Assets. As required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109), we recognize tax assets on the balance sheet if it is “more likely than not” that they will be realized on future tax returns. At March 31, 2006, we had deferred tax assets of $23.0 million. We believe that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will be realized. Factors considered by us included: our earnings history, projected earnings based on current operations, and projected future taxable income in excess of stock option deductions. However, should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged against income in the period such determination was made.

 

Income Tax Provision and Tax Contingency Reserve. Significant judgment is required in determining our consolidated income tax provision and evaluating our U.S. and foreign tax positions. It is

 

15



 

our policy to maintain tax contingency reserves for tax audit issues that are probable to occur and can reasonably be estimated. We review the reserves as circumstances warrant and adjust the reserves as events occur that affect our potential liability for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, conclusion of tax audits, additional exposure based on current calculations, identification of new issues or rendering of court decisions affecting a particular tax issue. Tax reserve contingencies and changes to the reserves are evaluated and recorded in our tax provision in the period in which the above noted events occur.

* Includes share-based compensation expense. Total share-based compensation was $4.7 million, or 11% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

 

Revenue

 

Revenue increased to $42.4 million in the first quarter of 2006, from $34.2 million in the first quarter of 2005. The increase was primarily a result of the addition of new, renewed and upgraded subscriptions from our customers that resulted in an increase in the number of seats under subscription on March 31, 2005 to March 31, 2006 of 3.8 million seats. Approximately 65% of subscription revenue recognized in the first quarters of 2006 and 2005 was derived from renewal business. We expect total

 

16



 

revenue growth amounts in 2006 to exceed total revenue growth in 2005, although the percentage revenue growth rate may be lower in 2006 than in 2005 as a result of the increasing overall revenue base and unanticipated sales execution issues in North America that we experienced in the first quarter of 2006.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue consists of the costs of content review, technical support and infrastructure costs associated with maintaining our databases. Cost of revenue increased to $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2006, from $2.5 in the first quarter of 2005. The increase was due to the costs associated with share-based compensation expense of $0.3 million relating to our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, as well as additional personnel in our technical support and database groups and allocated costs. We allocate the total costs for human resources, employee benefits, payroll taxes, information technology, facilities, fixed asset depreciation and legal costs to each of our functional areas based on salaries and headcount data. We expect cost of revenue to increase in the future due to share-based compensation expense and to support the growth and maintenance of our databases as well as the technical support needs of our customers. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue increased to 8% during the first quarter of 2006 from 7% in 2005. We expect that cost of revenue, as a percentage of revenue, will remain below 10% of revenue for the foreseeable future.

 

Gross Margin

 

Gross margin increased to $39.1 million in the first quarter of 2006, from $31.7 million in the first quarter of 2005. The increase was due to increased revenue. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin decreased to 92% in the first quarter of 2006 from 93% in the first quarter of 2005. We expect that gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, will remain in excess of 90% of revenue for the foreseeable future.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and benefits related to personnel engaged in selling, marketing and customer support functions, along with costs related to public relations, advertising, promotions and travel as well as allocated costs. Selling and marketing expenses increased to $18.0 million in the first quarter of 2006, from $12.3 million in the first quarter of 2005. The increase in selling and marketing expenses of $5.7 million was due to share-based compensation expenses of $2.0 million relating to our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, as well as increased personnel costs and related travel, allocated costs, and higher commission expenses related to higher sales levels. We expect selling and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars in the future driven primarily by share-based compensation expense, and also as more personnel are added to support our expanding selling and marketing efforts worldwide and as increased sales result in higher overall sales commission expenses.

 

Research and development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for software developers and allocated costs. Research and development expenses increased to $5.4 million in the first quarter of 2006, from $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2005. The increase of $1.4 million in research and development expenses was primarily a result of share-based compensation expense of $0.8 million relating to our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, as well as increased personnel needed to support our expanding list of technology partners, the enhancements of Websense Enterprise and additional products, and allocated costs. We expect research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars in future periods driven primarily by share-based compensation expense, and also as a result of our continued enhancements of our products.

 

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and related expenses for our executive, finance, administrative personnel, third party professional service fees, and allocated costs. General and administrative expenses increased to $5.2 million in the first

 

17



 

quarter of 2006, from $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2005. The $2.3 million increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily a result of share-based compensation expense of $1.6 million relating to our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, as well as additional personnel needed to support our growing operations, and allocated costs. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars in future periods driven primarily by share-based compensation expense, growth in operations, increasing expenses associated with being a public company and expansion of our international operations.

 

Other Income, Net

 

Other income, net increased to $2.6 million in the first three months of 2006, from $1.0 million in the first three months of 2005. The increase was due primarily to higher interest rates realized on our increased balances of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of March 31, 2006 compared with March 31, 2005. The majority of our investments of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities are tax-exempt. We expect that the majority of our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities will continue to be held in tax-exempt investments during the foreseeable future.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

In the first quarter of 2006, United States and foreign income tax expense remained unchanged at $4.8 million for the first quarters of 2006 and 2005. The effective income tax rate increased to 37% in the first quarter of 2006 from 36% in the first quarter of 2005. The increase in the tax rate was primarily driven by the non-availability for tax deduction of certain share-based compensation expenses under SFAS No. 123(R). The increase in the tax rate was partially offset by a higher percentage of income earned by our international operations, for which lower income tax rates generally apply, and an increase in tax-exempt interest income. Our effective tax rate may change due to potential changes in the mix of income within various domestic and international tax jurisdictions along with potential changes or interpretations in tax rules and legislation, or corresponding accounting rules.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $20.5 million, investments in marketable securities of $327.9 million and retained earnings of $64.6 million. As of December 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $61.6 million, investments in marketable securities of $258.8 million and retained earnings of $56.4 million.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $32.7 million in the first three months of 2006, compared with $25.8 million in the first three months of 2005. The $6.9 million increase in cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of 2006 was primarily due to a decrease in our accounts receivable balance. Our operating cash flow is significantly influenced by subscription renewals and accounts receivable collections, and a decrease in subscription renewals or accounts receivable collections would negatively impact our operating cash flow.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $70.2 million in the first three months of 2006, compared with net cash used in investing activities of $18.8 million in the first three months of 2005. The $51.4 million increase of cash used in investing activities for the first three months of 2006 was primarily due to purchases of marketable securities with fewer maturities and sales of marketable securities to offset the purchases.

 

Net cash used by financing activities was $3.6 million in the first three months of 2006, compared with net cash used by financing activities of $0.9 million in the first three months of 2005. The $2.7 million increase in net cash used by financing activities in the first three months of 2006 was primarily due to share repurchases of 300,000 shares of our common stock for $8.9 million in the first three months of 2006, compared with 250,000 shares for $7.1 million in the first three months of 2005, and fewer proceeds from exercises of employee stock options.

 

We have operating lease and software license commitments of approximately $1.7 million during the remainder of 2006, $2.0 million in 2007, and $0.3 million in 2008. A majority of our operating lease

 

18



 

commitments are related to our corporate headquarters lease, which extends through 2008. Our corporate headquarters lease includes escalating rent payments from 2006 to 2008. The rent expense related to our corporate headquarters lease is recorded monthly on a straight-line basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Future minimum annual payments under non-cancelable operating leases and software licenses at March 31, 2006 are as follows (in thousands):

As of March 31, 2006 and 2005, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

 

On April 3, 2003, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to 4 million shares of our common stock. On August 15, 2005, we announced that our Board of Directors increased the size of the stock repurchase program by an additional 4 million shares, for a total program size of up to 8 million shares. The repurchases will be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions. Depending on market conditions and other factors, purchases under this program may be commenced or suspended at any time, or from time to time, without prior notice. As of March 31, 2006, we had repurchased 4,170,060 shares of our common stock under this program, for an aggregate of $87.9 million at an average price of $21.08 per share.

 

As of December 31, 2004, we retired all 2,012,000 shares of our common stock that had been repurchased prior to that date. In accordance with APB 6, Status of Accounting Research Bulletins, the treasury stock retirement was effected by reducing the following on our Consolidated Balance Sheet: treasury stock by $30.7 million, common stock by $0.1 million, additional paid-in capital by $6.4 million and retained earnings by $24.2 million. There was no effect to our overall equity position as a result of the retirement. We do not expect to retire shares of our common stock that we repurchased during 2005 or 2006 in the foreseeable future.

 

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents balances and investments in marketable securities will be sufficient to satisfy our cash operating requirements for the foreseeable future. We intend to continue to invest our cash in excess of current operating requirements in interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Our market risk exposures are related to our cash, cash equivalents and investments. We invest our excess cash in highly liquid short-term investments, municipal securities, commercial paper and corporate bonds. These investments are not held for trading or other speculative purposes. Changes in interest rates affect the investment income we earn on our investments and therefore impact our cash flows and results of operations.

 

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from our short-term available-for-sale investments. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. A hypothetical 100 basis point adverse move in interest rates along the entire interest rate yield curve would not materially affect the fair value of our interest sensitive financial instruments at March 31, 2006. Changes in interest rates over time will, however, affect our interest income.

 

We utilize foreign currency forward contracts and zero-cost collar contracts to hedge foreign currency market exposures of underlying assets and liabilities. In April 2005, we began billing customers in Euro-denominated countries in the Euro. In addition, working funds necessary to facilitate the short-term operations of our subsidiaries are kept in the local currencies in which they do business. Our objective is to reduce the risk to earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use foreign currency contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

 

Notional and fair values of our hedging positions at March 31, 2006 and 2005 are presented in the table below (in thousands):

The $2.2 million notional increase in our Euro hedged position is primarily due to our billing customers in Euro-denominated countries in the Euro. All of the Euro hedging contracts will be settled before May 31, 2006. For the quarter-ended March 31, 2006, approximately 10% of our total billings were denominated in the Euro. We do not expect foreign currency billings to represent more than 15% of our total billings during 2006.

 

The $3.4 million notional increase in our British Pound hedged position is primarily due to our decision to lengthen the period hedged as well as increase the percentage of working funds hedged. All of the British Pound hedging contracts will be settled before September 30, 2006. In 2006, we expect an increase in British Pound expenditures and our corresponding hedged commitments to be consistent with our increase in overall operating expenditures.

 

Given our foreign exchange position, a 10% change in foreign exchange rates upon which these foreign exchange contracts are based would result in exchange gains and losses. In all material aspects, these exchange gains and losses would be fully offset by exchange gains and losses on the underlying net monetary exposures for which the contracts are designated as hedges. We do not expect material exchange rate gains and losses from unhedged foreign currency exposures.

The option term, exercise price, vesting schedule and vesting commencement date of the Regranted Options shall be the same as the option term, exercise price, vesting schedule and vesting commencement date of the Original Options (as adjusted for the Stock Split, as applicable).

 

2.                                       You have agreed to this amendment at the request of the Company, and you are not, by virtue of this amendment, receiving any benefit in excess of the Original Options.

In the event the Corporation terminates Optionee’s employment other than for Cause, or Optionee resigns his employment for Good Reason, contingent upon Optionee providing the Corporation with a fully-effective waiver and release of claims in a form satisfactory to the Corporation, the vesting of the Option Shares that are not vested at the time of such termination or resignation shall be accelerated such that the Option Shares that would have vested if Optionee had remained continuously employed by the Corporation for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of such termination or resignation shall be vested.

 

Except as provided above, in no event shall the Option become exercisable for any additional Option Shares after Optionee’s cessation of Service.

 

Optionee understands and agrees that the Option is granted subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Websense, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Optionee further agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and the terms of the Option as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A. Optionee hereby acknowledges the receipt of a copy of the official prospectus for the Plan in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. A copy of the Plan is available upon request made to the Corporate Secretary at the Corporation’s principal offices.

 



 

Employment at Will. Nothing in this Notice or in the attached Stock Option Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Optionee any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) or of Optionee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate Optionee’s Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause.

WEBSENSE, INC.

 

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 

RECITALS

 

A.                                   On January 9, 2006 on the date Optionee commenced employment as the chief executive officer of the Corporation, Optionee was awarded non-plan inducement options consistent with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(A)(iv) (the “Original Options”).

 

B.                                     The Corporation subsequently requested that Optionee agree to the cancellation of the Original Options and the immediate re-grant of an equal number (after giving affect to the two for one stock split effected through a stock dividend on March 17, 2006 (the “Stock Split”)) of options under the 2000 Stock Equity Plan (the “Plan”) with the same exercise price (adjusted for the Stock Split), vesting schedule, vesting commencement date and expiration date as the Original Options.

 

C.                                     The purpose of the cancellation and re-grant is to bring the options under the terms and conditions, including the annual grant limitations under the Plan, to better align the Optionee’s compensation with the stockholder approved limitations and to qualify the options to the extent possible, as performance-based compensation under 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

D.                                    All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the attached Appendix.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

 

1.                                      Grant of Option. The Corporation hereby grants to Optionee under the Plan, as of the Grant Date, a Non-Statutory Option to purchase up to the number of Option Shares specified in the Grant Notice. The Option Shares shall be purchasable from time to time during the option term specified in Paragraph 2 at the Exercise Price.

 

2.                                      Option Term. This option shall expire at the close of business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with Paragraph 5 or 6.

 

3.                                      Limited Transferability.

 

(a)                                  This option shall be neither transferable nor assignable by Optionee other than by will or the laws of inheritance following Optionee’s death and may be exercised, during Optionee’s lifetime, only by Optionee. However, Optionee may designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of this option, and this option shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death while holding this option. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred

 

1



 

option subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which this option may, pursuant to Paragraph 5, be exercised following Optionee’s death.

 

(b)                                  In addition, to the extent that such action is permitted by the Board and is consistent with applicable securities laws, this option may be assigned in whole or in part during Optionee’s lifetime to one or more members of Optionee’s family or to a trust established for the exclusive benefit of one or more such family members or to Optionee’s former spouse, to the extent such assignment is in connection with the Optionee’s estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations order. The assigned portion shall be exercisable only by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to such assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for this option immediately prior to such assignment.

 

4.                                      Dates of Exercise. This option shall become exercisable for the Option Shares in one or more installments as specified in the Grant Notice. As the option becomes exercisable for such installments, those installments shall accumulate, and the option shall remain exercisable for the accumulated installments until the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the option term under Paragraph 5 or 6.

 

5.                                      Cessation of Service. The option term specified in Paragraph 2 shall terminate (and this option shall cease to be outstanding) prior to the Expiration Date should any of the following provisions become applicable:

 

(a)                                  Should Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason (other than death, Permanent Disability or Misconduct) while holding this option, then Optionee shall have a period of three (3) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to exercise this option, but in no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.

 

(b)                                  Should Optionee die while holding this option, then the personal representative of Optionee’s estate or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance shall have the right to exercise this option. However, if Optionee has designated one or more beneficiaries of this option, then those persons shall have the exclusive right to exercise this option following Optionee’s death. Any such right to exercise this option shall lapse, and this option shall cease to be outstanding, upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of Optionee’s death or (ii) the Expiration Date.

 

(c)                                  Should Optionee cease Service by reason of Permanent Disability while holding this option, then Optionee shall have a period of twelve (12) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to exercise this option. In no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.

 

(d)                                  During the limited period of post-Service exercisability, this option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of Option Shares for which the

 

2



 

option is exercisable at the time of Optionee’s cessation of Service. Upon the expiration of such limited exercise period or (if earlier) upon the Expiration Date, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any exercisable Option Shares for which the option has not been exercised. However, this option shall, immediately upon Optionee’s cessation of Service for any reason, terminate and cease to be outstanding with respect to any Option Shares for which this option is not otherwise at that time exercisable.

 

(e)                                  Should Optionee’s Service be terminated for Misconduct or should Optionee otherwise engage in any Misconduct while this option is outstanding, then this option shall terminate immediately and cease to remain outstanding.

 

6.                                      Special Acceleration of Option.

 

(a)                                  If (i) within eighteen (18) months immediately following a Change in Control Optionee’s Service is terminated by the Corporation without Cause or Optionee resigns his employment for Good Reason or (ii) the Corporation terminates Optionee’s Services without Cause during the pendency of a merger agreement or tender offer which would result in a Change in Control, contingent upon Optionee providing the Corporation with a fully-effective waiver and release of claims in a form satisfactory to the Corporation, this option, to the extent outstanding at the time of such termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason, as applicable, but not otherwise fully exercisable, shall automatically accelerate so that this option shall become immediately exercisable for all the Option Shares at such time subject to the Option and may be exercised for any or all of those Option Shares as fully vested shares.

 

(b)                                  This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

 

7.                                      Adjustment in Option Shares. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the total number and/or class of securities subject to this option and (ii) the Exercise Price in order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder.

 

8.                                      Stockholder Rights. The holder of this option shall not have any stockholder rights with respect to the Option Shares until such person shall have exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and become a holder of record of the purchased shares.

 

9.                                      Manner of Exercising Option.

 

(a)                                  In order to exercise this option with respect to all or any part of the Option Shares for which this option is at the time exercisable, Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) must take the following actions:

 

3



 

(i)                                    Execute and deliver to the Corporation a Notice of Exercise for the Option Shares for which the option is exercised.

 

(ii)                                Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased shares in one or more of the following forms:

 

(1)                                 cash or check made payable to the Corporation;

 

(2)                                 shares of Common Stock held by Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) for the requisite period necessary to avoid an additional charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting purposes over that recognized at the date of grant and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date; or

 

(3)                                 if previously authorized by the Board, in its sole discretion, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (i) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (ii) to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale.

 

Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure is utilized in connection with the option exercise, payment of the Exercise Price must accompany the Notice of Exercise delivered to the Corporation in connection with the option exercise.

 

(iii)                            Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation that the person or persons exercising the option (if other than Optionee) have the right to exercise this option.

 

(iv)                               Make appropriate arrangements with the Corporation (or Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for the satisfaction of all Federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the option exercise.

 

(b)                                  As soon as practical after the Exercise Date, the Corporation shall issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising this option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares, with the appropriate legends affixed thereto.

 

(c)                                  In no event may this option be exercised for any fractional shares.

 

10.                               Compliance with Laws and Regulations.

 

(a)                                  The exercise of this option and the issuance of the Option Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance by the Corporation and Optionee with all applicable

 

4



 

requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if applicable) on which the Common Stock may be listed for trading at the time of such exercise and issuance.

 

(b)                                  The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option shall relieve the Corporation of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Corporation, however, shall use its best efforts to obtain all such approvals.

 

11.                               Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Paragraphs 3 and 6, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and assigns and Optionee, Optionee’s assigns, the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Optionee’s estate and any beneficiaries of this option designated by Optionee.

 

12.                               Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to Optionee at the address indicated below Optionee’s signature line on the Grant Notice. All notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

 

13.                               Construction. This Agreement and the option evidenced hereby are made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to the terms of the Plan. To the extent the Plan is determined to limit the application of any provision herein, the Board, by its approval of this Agreement, hereby deems such provision to be permissible by the Plan and such permission shall be deemed an amendment to the Plan to the extent such amendment would not require stockholder approval under the Nasdaq marketplace rules. All decisions of the Plan Administrator with respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in this option.

 

14.                               Governing Law. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules.

 

15.                               Excess Shares. If the Option Shares covered by this Agreement exceed, as of the Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock which may without stockholder approval be issued under the Plan, then this option shall be void with respect to those excess shares, unless stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan is obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

WEBSENSE, INC.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

2000 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

 

ARTICLE ONE

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

I. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

 

This 2000 Stock Incentive Plan is intended to promote the interests of Websense, Inc., a Delaware corporation, by providing eligible persons in the Corporation’s service with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an incentive for them to remain in such service.

 

Capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached Appendix.

 

II. STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN

 

A.                                   The Plan shall be divided into five separate equity incentives programs:

 

                  the Discretionary Option Grant Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock,

 

                  the Salary Investment Option Grant Program under which eligible employees may elect to have a portion of their base salary invested each year in special option grants,

 

                  the Stock Issuance Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued shares of Common Stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a bonus for services rendered the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary),

 

                  the Automatic Option Grant Program under which eligible non-employee Board members shall automatically receive option grants at designated intervals over their period of continued Board service, and

 

                  the Director Fee Option Grant Program under which non-employee Board members may elect to have all or any portion of their annual retainer fee otherwise payable in cash applied to a special stock option grant.

 

B.                                     The provisions of Articles One and Seven shall apply to all equity programs under the Plan and shall govern the interests of all persons under the Plan.

 

III. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

 

A.                                   The Primary Committee shall have sole and exclusive authority to administer the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs with respect to Section 16 Insiders. Administration of the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs

 

1



 

with respect to all other persons eligible to participate in those programs may, at the Board’s discretion, be vested in the Primary Committee or a Secondary Committee, or the Board may retain the power to administer those programs with respect to all such persons. However, any discretionary option grants or stock issuances for members of the Primary Committee must be authorized by a disinterested majority of the Board.

 

B.                                     Members of the Primary Committee or any Secondary Committee shall serve for such period of time as the Board may determine and may be removed by the Board at any time. The Board may also at any time terminate the functions of any Secondary Committee and reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to such committee.

 

C.                                     Each Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of its administrative functions under the Plan, have full power and authority (subject to the provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for proper administration of the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs and to make such determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the provisions of those programs and any outstanding options or stock issuances thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions of the Plan Administrator within the scope of its administrative functions under the Plan shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs under its jurisdiction or any stock option or stock issuance thereunder.

 

D.                                    The Primary Committee shall have the sole and exclusive authority to determine which Section 16 Insiders and other highly compensated Employees shall be eligible for participation in the Salary Investment Option Grant Program for one or more calendar years. However, all option grants under the Salary Investment Option Grant Program shall be made in accordance with the express terms of that program, and the Primary Committee shall not exercise any discretionary functions with respect to the option grants made under that program.

 

E.                                      Service on the Primary Committee or the Secondary Committee shall constitute service as a Board member, and members of each such committee shall accordingly be entitled to full indemnification and reimbursement as Board members for their service on such committee. No member of the Primary Committee or the Secondary Committee shall be liable for any act or omission made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any option grants or stock issuances under the Plan.

 

F.                                      Administration of the Automatic Option Grant and Director Fee Option Grant Programs shall be self-executing in accordance with the terms of those programs, and no Plan Administrator shall exercise any discretionary functions with respect to any option grants or stock issuances made under those programs.

B.                                     Only Employees who are Section 16 Insiders or other highly compensated individuals shall be eligible to participate in the Salary Investment Option Grant Program.

 

C.                                     Each Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of its administrative jurisdiction under the Plan, have full authority to determine, (i) with respect to the option grants under the Discretionary Option Grant Program, which eligible persons are to receive such grants, the time or times when those grants are to be made, the number of shares to be covered by each such grant, the status of the granted option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory Option, the time or times when each option is to become exercisable, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the option shares and the maximum term for which the option is to remain outstanding and (ii) with respect to stock issuances under the Stock Issuance Program, which eligible persons are to receive such issuances, the time or times when the issuances are to be made, the number of shares to be issued to each Participant, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the issued shares and the consideration for such shares.

 

D.                                    The Plan Administrator shall have the absolute discretion either to grant options in accordance with the Discretionary Option Grant Program or to effect stock issuances in accordance with the Stock Issuance Program.

 

E.                                      The individuals who shall be eligible to participate in the Automatic Option Grant Program shall be limited to (i) those individuals who first become non-employee Board members on or after the Underwriting Date, whether through appointment by the Board or election by the Corporation’s stockholders, and (ii) those individuals who continue to serve as non-employee Board members at one or more Annual Stockholders Meetings held after the Underwriting Date. A non-employee Board member who has previously been in the employ of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary) shall not be eligible to receive an option grant under the Automatic Option Grant Program at the time he or she first becomes a non-employee Board member, but shall be eligible to receive periodic option grants under the Automatic Option Grant Program while he or she continues to serve as a non-employee Board member.

F.                                      All non-employee Board members shall be eligible to participate in the Director Fee Option Grant Program.

 

V. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

 

A.                                   The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares repurchased by the Corporation on the open market. The number of shares of Common Stock initially reserved for issuance over the term of the Plan shall not exceed 9,000,000 shares. Such reserve shall consist of (i) the number of shares estimated to remain available for issuance, as of the Plan Effective Date, under the Predecessor Plan as last approved by the Corporation’s stockholders, including the shares subject to outstanding options under the Predecessor Plan, (ii) plus an additional increase of approximately 2,000,000 shares to be approved by the Corporation’s stockholders prior to the Underwriting Date.

 

B.                                     The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall automatically increase on the first trading day of January each calendar year during the term of the Plan, beginning with calendar year 2001, by an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last trading day in December of the immediately preceding calendar year, but in no event shall any such annual increase exceed 3,000,000 shares.

 

C.                                     No one person participating in the Plan may receive stock options, separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock issuances for more than 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate per calendar year.

 

D.                                    Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options (including options incorporated into this Plan from the Predecessor Plan) shall be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent (i) those options expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full or (ii) the options are cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant provisions of Article Two. Unvested shares issued under the Plan and subsequently cancelled or repurchased by the Corporation at the original issue price paid per share, pursuant to the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Plan shall be added back to the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan and shall accordingly be available for reissuance through one or more subsequent option grants or direct stock issuances under the Plan. However, should the exercise price of an option under the Plan be paid with shares of Common Stock or should shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under the Plan be withheld by the Corporation in satisfaction of the withholding taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of an option or the vesting of a stock issuance under the Plan, then the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the gross number of shares for which the option is exercised or which vest under the stock issuance, and not by the net number of shares of Common Stock issued to the holder of such option or stock issuance. Shares of Common Stock underlying one or more stock appreciation rights exercised under Section IV of Article Two, Section III of Article Three, Section II of Article Five or Section III of Article Six of the Plan shall NOT be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan.

E.                                      If any change is made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made by the Plan Administrator to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan, (ii) the maximum number and/or class of securities for which any one person may be granted stock options, separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock issuances under the Plan per calendar year, (iii) the number and/or class of securities for which grants are subsequently to be made under the Automatic Option Grant Program to new and continuing non-employee Board members, (iv) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding option under the Plan, (v) the number and/or class of securities and exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding option incorporated into this Plan from the Predecessor Plan and (vi) the maximum number and/or class of securities by which the share reserve is to increase automatically each calendar year pursuant to the provisions of Section V.B of this Article One. Such adjustments to the outstanding options are to be effected in a manner which shall preclude the enlargement or dilution of rights and benefits under such options. The adjustments determined by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive.

 

ARTICLE TWO

DISCRETIONARY OPTION GRANT PROGRAM

 

I. OPTION TERMS

 

Each option shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that each such document shall comply with the terms specified below. Each document evidencing an Incentive Option shall, in addition, be subject to the provisions of the Plan applicable to such options.

 

A. EXERCISE PRICE.

 

1.                                       The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator but shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

 

2.                                       The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option and shall, subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Seven and the documents evidencing the option, be payable in one or more of the forms specified below:

 

(i)                                     cash or check made payable to the Corporation,

 

(ii)                                  shares of Common Stock held for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, or

 

5



 

(iii)                               to the extent the option is exercised for vested shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions to (a) a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (b) the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale.

 

Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date.

 

B.                                     EXERCISE AND TERM OF OPTIONS. Each option shall be exercisable at such time or times, during such period and for such number of shares as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option. However, no option shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date.

 

C. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

 

1.                                       The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any options held by the Optionee at the time of cessation of Service or death:

 

(i)                                     Any option outstanding at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service for any reason shall remain exercisable for such period of time thereafter as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option, but no such option shall be exercisable after the expiration of the option term.

 

(ii)                                  Any option held by the Optionee at the time of death and exercisable in whole or in part at that time may be subsequently exercised by the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate or by the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance or by the Optionee’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of that option.

 

(iii)                               Should the Optionee’s Service be terminated for Misconduct or should the Optionee otherwise engage in Misconduct while holding one or more outstanding options under this Article Two, then all those options shall terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding.

 

(iv)                              During the applicable post-Service exercise period, the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of vested shares for which the option is exercisable on the date of the Optionee’s cessation of Service. Upon the expiration of the applicable exercise period or (if earlier)

 

6



 

upon the expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested shares for which the option has not been exercised. However, the option shall, immediately upon the Optionee’s cessation of Service, terminate and cease to be outstanding to the extent the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable for vested shares.

 

2.                                       The Plan Administrator shall have complete discretion, exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to:

 

(i)                                     extend the period of time for which the option is to remain exercisable following the Optionee’s cessation of Service from the limited exercise period otherwise in effect for that option to such greater period of time as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration of the option term, and/or

 

(ii)                                  permit the option to be exercised, during the applicable post-Service exercise period, not only with respect to the number of vested shares of Common Stock for which such option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service but also with respect to one or more additional installments in which the Optionee would have vested had the Optionee continued in Service.

 

D.                                    STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. The holder of an option shall have no stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to the option until such person shall have exercised the option, paid the exercise price and become a holder of record of the purchased shares.

 

E.                                      REPURCHASE RIGHTS. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to grant options which are exercisable for unvested shares of Common Stock. Should the Optionee cease Service while holding such unvested shares, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase, at the exercise price paid per share, any or all of those unvested shares. The terms upon which such repurchase right shall be exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such repurchase right.

 

F.                                      LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. During the lifetime of the Optionee, Incentive Options shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or the laws of inheritance following the Optionee’s death. Non-Statutory Options shall be subject to the same restriction, except that a Non-Statutory Option may be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee’s lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee’s family or to a trust established exclusively for one or more such family members or to Optionee’s former spouse, to the extent such assignment is in connection with the Optionee’s estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations order. The assigned portion may only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to the assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to

 

7



 

the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee may also designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of his or her outstanding options under this Article Two, and those options shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death while holding those options. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred options subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement evidencing each such transferred option, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which the option may be exercised following the Optionee’s death.

 

II. INCENTIVE OPTIONS

 

The terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive Options. Except as modified by the provisions of this Section II, all the provisions of Articles One, Two and Seven shall be applicable to Incentive Options. Options which are specifically designated as Non-Statutory Options when issued under the Plan shall not be subject to the terms of this Section II.

 

A.                                   ELIGIBILITY. Incentive Options may only be granted to Employees.

 

B.                                     DOLLAR LIMITATION. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) for which one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) may for the first time become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one calendar year shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). To the extent the Employee holds two (2) or more such options which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such options are granted.

 

C.                                     10% STOCKHOLDER. If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date, and the option term shall not exceed five (5) years measured from the option grant date.

 

III. CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL

 

A.                                   In the event of any Corporate Transaction, each outstanding option shall automatically accelerate so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. However, an outstanding option shall NOT become exercisable on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) such option is, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, to be assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or (ii) such option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing at the time of the Corporate

 

8



 

Transaction on any shares for which the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same exercise/vesting schedule applicable to those option shares or (iii) the acceleration of such option is subject to other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time of the option grant.

 

B.                                     All outstanding repurchase rights shall automatically terminate, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Corporate Transaction, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are to be assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued.

 

C.                                     Immediately following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, all outstanding options shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof).

 

D.                                    Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments to reflect such Corporate Transaction shall also be made to (i) the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same, (ii) the maximum number and/or class of securities available for issuance over the remaining term of the Plan and (iii) the maximum number and/or class of securities for which any one person may be granted stock options, separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock issuances under the Plan per calendar year and (iv) the maximum number and/or class of securities by which the share reserve is to increase automatically each calendar year. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Corporate Transaction.

 

E.                                      The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those options shall, immediately prior to the effective date of such Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to those options and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock, whether or not those options are to be assumed in the Corporate Transaction. In addition, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those rights shall not be assignable in connection with such Corporate Transaction and

 

9



 

shall accordingly terminate upon the consummation of such Corporate Transaction, and the shares subject to those terminated rights shall thereupon vest in full.

 

F.                                      The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority to structure one or more outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those options shall become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to those options in the event the Optionee’s Service is subsequently terminated by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction in which those options are assumed and do not otherwise accelerate. In addition, the Plan Administrator may structure one or more of the Corporation’s repurchase rights so that those rights shall immediately terminate with respect to any shares held by the Optionee at the time of his or her Involuntary Termination, and the shares subject to those terminated repurchase rights shall accordingly vest in full at that time.

 

G.                                     The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those options shall, immediately prior to the effective date of a Change in Control, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to those options and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those rights shall terminate automatically upon the consummation of such Change in Control, and the shares subject to those terminated rights shall thereupon vest in full. Alternatively, the Plan Administrator may condition the automatic acceleration of one or more outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program and the termination of one or more of the Corporation’s outstanding repurchase rights under such program upon the subsequent termination of the Optionee’s Service by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of such Change in Control.

 

H.                                    The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with a Corporate Transaction or Change in Control shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the accelerated portion of such option shall be exercisable as a Nonstatutory Option under the Federal tax laws.

 

I.                                         The outstanding options shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

 

IV. CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF OPTIONS

 

The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the affected option holders, the cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program (including outstanding options incorporated from

 

10



 

the Predecessor Plan) and to grant in substitution new options covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock but with an exercise price per share based on the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the new grant date.

 

V. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 

A.                                   The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority to grant to selected Optionees tandem stock appreciation rights and/or limited stock appreciation rights.

 

B.                                     The following terms shall govern the grant and exercise of tandem stock appreciation rights:

 

(i)                                     One or more Optionees may be granted the right, exercisable upon such terms as the Plan Administrator may establish, to elect between the exercise of the underlying option for shares of Common Stock and the surrender of that option in exchange for a distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (a) the Fair Market Value (on the option surrender date) of the number of shares in which the Optionee is at the time vested under the surrendered option (or surrendered portion thereof) over (b) the aggregate exercise price payable for such shares.

 

(ii)                                  No such option surrender shall be effective unless it is approved by the Plan Administrator, either at the time of the actual option surrender or at any earlier time. If the surrender is so approved, then the distribution to which the Optionee shall be entitled may be made in shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the option surrender date, in cash, or partly in shares and partly in cash, as the Plan Administrator shall in its sole discretion deem appropriate.

 

(iii)                               If the surrender of an option is not approved by the Plan Administrator, then the Optionee shall retain whatever rights the Optionee had under the surrendered option (or surrendered portion thereof) on the option surrender date and may exercise such rights at any time prior to the later of (a) five (5) business days after the receipt of the rejection notice or (b) the last day on which the option is otherwise exercisable in accordance with the terms of the documents evidencing such option, but in no event may such rights be exercised more than ten (10) years after the option grant date.

 

ARTICLE THREE

SALARY INVESTMENT OPTION GRANT PROGRAM

 

I. OPTION GRANTS

 

The Primary Committee shall have the sole and exclusive authority to determine the calendar year or years (if any) for which the Salary Investment Option Grant Program is to be in effect and to select the Section 16 Insiders and other highly compensated Employees eligible to

 

11



 

participate in the Salary Investment Option Grant Program for such calendar year or years. Each selected individual who elects to participate in the Salary Investment Option Grant Program must, prior to the start of each calendar year of participation, file with the Plan Administrator (or its designate) an irrevocable authorization directing the Corporation to reduce his or her base salary for that calendar year by an amount not less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) nor more than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00). Each individual who files such a timely authorization shall automatically be granted an option under the Salary Investment Grant Program on the first trading day in January of the calendar year for which the salary reduction is to be in effect.

 

II. OPTION TERMS

 

Each option shall be a Non-Statutory Option evidenced by one or more documents in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that each such document shall comply with the terms specified below.

 

A. EXERCISE PRICE.

 

1.                                       The exercise price per share shall be thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

 

2.                                       The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option and shall be payable in one or more of the alternative forms authorized under the Discretionary Option Grant Program. Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure specified thereunder is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date.

 

B.                                     NUMBER OF OPTION SHARES. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to the option shall be determined pursuant to the following formula (rounded down to the nearest whole number):

 

X = A / (B x 66-2/3%), where

 

X is the number of option shares,

 

A is the dollar amount by which the Optionee’s base salary is to be reduced for the calendar year pursuant to his or her election under the Salary Investment Option Grant Program, and

 

B is the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

 

C.                                     EXERCISE AND TERM OF OPTIONS. The option shall become exercisable in a series of twelve (12) successive equal monthly installments upon the Optionee’s completion of each calendar month of Service in the calendar year for which the salary reduction is in effect. Each option shall have a maximum term of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date.

 

12



 

D.                                    EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE. Should the Optionee cease Service for any reason while holding one or more options under this Article Three, then each such option shall remain exercisable, for any or all of the shares for which the option is exercisable at the time of such cessation of Service, until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term or (ii) the expiration of the three (3)-year period measured from the date of such cessation of Service. Should the Optionee die while holding one or more options under this Article Three, then each such option may be exercised, for any or all of the shares for which the option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service (less any shares subsequently purchased by Optionee prior to death), by the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate or by the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance or by the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of the option. Such right of exercise shall lapse, and the option shall terminate, upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term or (ii) the three (3)-year period measured from the date of the Optionee’s cessation of Service. However, the option shall, immediately upon the Optionee’s cessation of Service for any reason, terminate and cease to remain outstanding with respect to any and all shares of Common Stock for which the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable.

 

III. CORPORATE TRANSACTION/

CHANGE IN CONTROL

 

A.                                   In the event of any Corporate Transaction while the Optionee remains in Service, each outstanding option held by such Optionee under this Salary Investment Option Grant Program shall automatically accelerate so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. Each such outstanding option shall terminate immediately following the Corporate Transaction, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in such Corporate Transaction. Any option so assumed and shall remain exercisable for the fully vested shares until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term or (ii) the expiration of the three (3)-year period measured from the date of the Optionee’s cessation of Service.

 

B.                                     In the event of a Change in Control while the Optionee remains in Service, each outstanding option held by such Optionee under this Salary Investment Option Grant Program shall automatically accelerate so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. The option shall remain so exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term, (ii) the expiration of the three (3)-year period measured from the date of the Optionee’s cessation of Service, or (iii) the termination of the option in connection with a Corporate Transaction.

 

13



 

C.                                     Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the outstanding options under the Salary Investment Option Grant Program, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Corporate Transaction.

 

D.                                    The grant of options under the Salary Investment Option Grant Program shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

 

IV. REMAINING TERMS

 

The remaining terms of each option granted under the Salary Investment Option Grant Program shall be the same as the terms in effect for option grants made under the Discretionary Option Grant Program.

 

ARTICLE FOUR

STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM

 

I. STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS

 

Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program through direct and immediate issuances without any intervening option grants. Each such stock issuance shall be evidenced by a Stock Issuance Agreement which complies with the terms specified below. Shares of Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock Issuance Program pursuant to share right awards which entitle the recipients to receive those shares upon the attainment of designated performance goals.

 

A. PURCHASE PRICE.

 

1.                                       The purchase price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator, but shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the issuance date.

 

2.                                       Subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Seven, shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program for any of the following items of

 

14



 

consideration which the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate in each individual instance:

 

(i)                                     cash or check made payable to the Corporation, or

 

(ii)                                  past services rendered to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

 

B. VESTING PROVISIONS.

 

1.                                       Shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program may, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be fully and immediately vested upon issuance or may vest in one or more installments over the Participant’s period of Service or upon attainment of specified performance objectives. The elements of the vesting schedule applicable to any unvested shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and incorporated into the Stock Issuance Agreement. Shares of Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock Issuance Program pursuant to share right awards which entitle the recipients to receive those shares upon the attainment of designated performance goals.

 

2.                                       Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which the Participant may have the right to receive with respect to the Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration shall be issued subject to (i) the same vesting requirements applicable to the Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock and (ii) such escrow arrangements as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate.

 

3.                                       The Participant shall have full stockholder rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant under the Stock Issuance Program, whether or not the Participant’s interest in those shares is vested. Accordingly, the Participant shall have the right to vote such shares and to receive any regular cash dividends paid on such shares.

 

4.                                       Should the Participant cease to remain in Service while holding one or more unvested shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program or should the performance objectives not be attained with respect to one or more such unvested shares of Common Stock, then those shares shall be immediately surrendered to the Corporation for cancellation, and the Participant shall have no further stockholder rights with respect to those shares. To the extent the surrendered shares were previously issued to the Participant for consideration paid in cash or cash equivalent (including the Participant’s purchase-money indebtedness), the Corporation shall repay to the Participant the cash consideration paid for the surrendered shares and

 

15



 

shall cancel the unpaid principal balance of any outstanding purchase-money note of the Participant attributable to the surrendered shares.

 

5.                                       The Plan Administrator may in its discretion waive the surrender and cancellation of one or more unvested shares of Common Stock which would otherwise occur upon the cessation of the Participant’s Service or the non-attainment of the performance objectives applicable to those shares. Such waiver shall result in the immediate vesting of the Participant’s interest in the shares of Common Stock as to which the waiver applies. Such waiver may be effected at any time, whether before or after the Participant’s cessation of Service or the attainment or non-attainment of the applicable performance objectives.

 

6.                                       Outstanding share right awards under the Stock Issuance Program shall automatically terminate, and no shares of Common Stock shall actually be issued in satisfaction of those awards, if the performance goals established for such awards are not attained. The Plan Administrator, however, shall have the discretionary authority to issue shares of Common Stock under one or more outstanding share right awards as to which the designated performance goals have not been attained.

 

II. CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL

 

A.                                   All of the Corporation’s outstanding repurchase rights under the Stock Issuance Program shall terminate automatically, and all the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Corporate Transaction, except to the extent (i) those repurchase rights are to be assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed in the Stock Issuance Agreement.

 

B.                                     The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Stock Issuance Program so that those rights shall automatically terminate in whole or in part, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest, in the event the Participant’s Service should subsequently terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction in which those repurchase rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof).

 

C.                                     The Plan Administrator shall also have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Stock Issuance Program so that those rights shall automatically terminate in whole or in part, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest, in the event the Participant’s Service should subsequently terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Change in Control.

 

16



 

III. SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS

 

Unvested shares may, in the Plan Administrator’s discretion, be held in escrow by the Corporation until the Participant’s interest in such shares vests or may be issued directly to the Participant with restrictive legends on the certificates evidencing those unvested shares.

 

ARTICLE FIVE

AUTOMATIC OPTION GRANT PROGRAM

 

I. OPTION TERMS

 

A.                                   GRANT DATES. Option grants shall be made on the dates specified below:

 

1.                                       Each individual who is first elected or appointed as a non-employee Board member at any time on or after the Underwriting Date shall automatically be granted, on the date of such initial election or appointment, a Non-Statutory Option to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock, provided that individual has not previously been in the employ of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary.

 

2.                                       On the date of each Annual Stockholders Meeting held after the Underwriting Date, each individual who is to continue to serve as a non-employee Board member, whether or not that individual is standing for re-election to the Board at that particular Annual Meeting, shall automatically be granted a Non-Statutory Option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock, provided such individual has served as a non-employee Board member for at least six (6) months. There shall be no limit on the number of such 5,000-share option grants any one non-employee Board member may receive over his or her period of Board service, and non-employee Board members who have previously been in the employ of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary) or who have otherwise received one or more stock option grants from the Corporation prior to the Underwriting Date shall be eligible to receive one or more such annual option grants over their period of continued Board service.

 

B. EXERCISE PRICE.

 

1.                                       The exercise price per share shall be equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

 

2.                                       The exercise price shall be payable in one or more of the alternative forms authorized under the Discretionary Option Grant Program. Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure specified thereunder is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date.

 

C.                                     OPTION TERM. Each option shall have a term of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date.

 

17



 

D.                                    EXERCISE AND VESTING OF OPTIONS. Each option shall be immediately exercisable for any or all of the option shares. However, any unvested shares purchased under the option shall be subject to repurchase by the Corporation, at the exercise price paid per share, upon the Optionee’s cessation of Board service prior to vesting in those shares. The shares subject to each initial 100,000-share grant shall vest, and the Corporation’s repurchase right shall lapse, in a series of four (4) successive equal annual installments upon the Optionee’s completion of each year of service as a Board member over the four (4)-year period measured from the option grant date. The shares subject to each annual 5,000-share option grant shall vest in one installment upon the Optionee’s completion of the one (1)-year period of service measured from the grant date.

 

E.                                      LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. Each option under this Article Five may be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee’s lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee’s family or to a trust established exclusively for one or more such family members or to Optionee’s former spouse, to the extent such assignment is in connection with the Optionee’s estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations order. The assigned portion may only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to the assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. The Optionee may also designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of his or her outstanding options under this Article Five, and those options shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death while holding those options. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred options subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement evidencing each such transferred option, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which the option may be exercised following the Optionee’s death.

 

F.                                      TERMINATION OF BOARD SERVICE. The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any options held by the Optionee at the time the Optionee ceases to serve as a Board member:

 

(i)                                     The Optionee (or, in the event of Optionee’s death, the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance or the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of such option) shall have a twelve (12)-month period following the date of such cessation of Board service in which to exercise each such option.

 

(ii)                                  During the twelve (12)-month exercise period, the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of vested shares of Common Stock for which the option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Board service.

 

18



 

(iii)                               Should the Optionee cease to serve as a Board member by reason of death or Permanent Disability, then all shares at the time subject to the option shall immediately vest so that such option may, during the twelve (12)-month exercise period following such cessation of Board service, be exercised for all or any portion of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock.

 

(iv)                              In no event shall the option remain exercisable after the expiration of the option term. Upon the expiration of the twelve (12)-month exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested shares for which the option has not been exercised. However, the option shall, immediately upon the Optionee’s cessation of Board service for any reason other than death or Permanent Disability, terminate and cease to be outstanding to the extent the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable for vested shares.

 

II. CORPORATE TRANSACTION/

CHANGE IN CONTROL

 

A.                                   In the event of any Corporate Transaction while the Optionee remains a Board member, the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to each outstanding option under the Automatic Option Grant Program but not otherwise vested shall automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all the option shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock and may be exercised for any or all of those vested shares. Immediately following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, each automatic option grant shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof).

 

B.                                     In connection with any Change in Control while the Optionee remains a Board member, the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to each outstanding option under the Automatic Option Grant Program but not otherwise vested shall automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become exercisable for all the option shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock and may be exercised for any or all of those vested shares. Each such option shall remain exercisable for such fully vested option shares until the earliest to occur of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term, (ii) the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of the Optionee’s cessation of Board service, or (iii) the termination of the option in connection with a Corporate Transaction.

 

C.                                     All outstanding repurchase rights under the Automatic Option Grant Program shall automatically terminate, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Corporate Transaction or Change in Control.

 

D.                                    Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the

 

19



 

number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the outstanding options under the Automatic Option Grant Program, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Corporate Transaction.

 

E.                                      The grant of options under the Automatic Option Grant Program shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

 

III. REMAINING TERMS

 

The remaining terms of each option granted under the Automatic Option Grant Program shall be the same as the terms in effect for option grants made under the Discretionary Option Grant Program.

 

ARTICLE SIX

DIRECTOR FEE OPTION GRANT PROGRAM

 

I. OPTION GRANTS

 

The Primary Committee shall have the sole and exclusive authority to determine the calendar year or years for which the Director Fee Option Grant Program is to be in effect. For each such calendar year the program is in effect, each non-employee Board member may irrevocably elect to apply all or any portion of the annual retainer fee otherwise payable in cash for his or her service on the Board for that year to the acquisition of a special option grant under this Director Fee Option Grant Program. Such election must be filed with the Corporation’s Chief Financial Officer prior to the first day of the calendar year for which the annual retainer fee which is the subject of that election is otherwise payable. Each non-employee Board member who files such a timely election shall automatically be granted an option under this Director Fee Option Grant Program on the first trading day in January in the calendar year for which the annual retainer fee which is the subject of that election would otherwise be payable in cash.

 

II. OPTION TERMS

 

Each option shall be a Non-Statutory Option governed by the terms and conditions specified below.

 

20



 

A. EXERCISE PRICE.

 

1.                                       The exercise price per share shall be thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

 

2.                                       The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option and shall be payable in one or more of the alternative forms authorized under the Discretionary Option Grant Program. Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure specified thereunder is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date.

 

B.                                     NUMBER OF OPTION SHARES. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to the option shall be determined pursuant to the following formula (rounded down to the nearest whole number):

 

X = A / (B x 66-2/3%), where

 

X is the number of option shares,

 

A is the portion of the annual retainer fee subject to the non-employee Board member’s election under the Director Fee Option Grant Program, and

 

B is the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

 

C.                                     EXERCISE AND TERM OF OPTIONS. The option shall become exercisable in a series of twelve (12) equal monthly installments upon the Optionee’s completion of each calendar month of Board service during the calendar year for which the retainer fee election is in effect. Each option shall have a maximum term of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date.

 

D.                                    LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. Each option under this Article Six may be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee’s lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee’s family or to a trust established exclusively for one or more such family members or to Optionee’s former spouse, to the extent such assignment is in connection with Optionee’s estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations order. The assigned portion may only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to the assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. The Optionee may also designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of his or her outstanding options under this Article Six, and those options shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death while holding those options. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred options subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement evidencing each such transferred option, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which the option may be exercised following the Optionee’s death.

 

E.                                      TERMINATION OF BOARD SERVICE. Should the Optionee cease Board service for any reason (other than death or Permanent Disability) while holding one or more options

 

21



 

under this Director Fee Option Grant Program, then each such option shall remain exercisable, for any or all of the shares for which the option is exercisable at the time of such cessation of Board service, until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term or (ii) the expiration of the three (3)-year period measured from the date of such cessation of Board service. However, each option held by the Optionee under this Director Fee Option Grant Program at the time of his or her cessation of Board service shall immediately terminate and cease to remain outstanding with respect to any and all shares of Common Stock for which the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable.

 

F.                                      DEATH OR PERMANENT DISABILITY. Should the Optionee’s service as a Board member cease by reason of death or Permanent Disability, then each option held by such Optionee under this Director Fee Option Grant Program shall immediately become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to that option, and the option may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term or (ii) the expiration of the three (3)-year period measured from the date of such cessation of Board service. To the extent such option is held by the Optionee at the time of his or her death, that option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate or by the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance or by the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of such option.

 

Should the Optionee die after cessation of Board service but while holding one or more options under this Director Fee Option Grant Program, then each such option may be exercised, for any or all of the shares for which the option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Board service (less any shares subsequently purchased by Optionee prior to death), by the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate or by the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance or by the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of such option. Such right of exercise shall lapse, and the option shall terminate, upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term or (ii) the three (3)-year period measured from the date of the Optionee’s cessation of Board service.

 

III. CORPORATE TRANSACTION/

CHANGE IN CONTROL

 

A.                                   In the event of any Corporate Transaction while the Optionee remains a Board member, each outstanding option held by such Optionee under this Director Fee Option Grant Program shall automatically accelerate so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. Each such outstanding option shall terminate immediately following the Corporate Transaction, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in such Corporate Transaction. Any option so assumed and shall remain exercisable for the fully vested shares until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term or (ii) the expiration of the three (3)-year period measured from the date of the Optionee’s cessation of Board service.

 

22



 

B.                                     In the event of a Change in Control while the Optionee remains in Service, each outstanding option held by such Optionee under this Director Fee Option Grant Program shall automatically accelerate so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. The option shall remain so exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term, (ii) the expiration of the three (3)-year period measured from the date of the Optionee’s cessation of Board service, or (iii) the termination of the option in connection with a Corporate Transaction.

 

C.                                     Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the outstanding options under the Director Fee Option Grant Program, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Corporate Transaction.

 

D.                                    The grant of options under the Director Fee Option Grant Program shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

 

IV. REMAINING TERMS

 

The remaining terms of each option granted under this Director Fee Option Grant Program shall be the same as the terms in effect for option grants made under the Discretionary Option Grant Program.

 

ARTICLE SEVEN

MISCELLANEOUS

 

I. FINANCING

 

The Plan Administrator may permit any Optionee or Participant to pay the option exercise price under the Discretionary Option Grant Program or the purchase price of shares issued under the Stock Issuance Program by delivering a full-recourse, interest-bearing promissory note payable in one or more installments. The terms of any such promissory note (including the interest rate and the terms of repayment) shall be established by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion.

 

23



 

In no event may the maximum credit available to the Optionee or Participant exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate option exercise price or purchase price payable for the purchased shares (less the par value of such shares) plus (ii) any Federal, state and local income and employment tax liability incurred by the Optionee or the Participant in connection with the option exercise or share purchase.

 

II. TAX WITHHOLDING

 

A.                                   The Corporation’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of options or the issuance or vesting of such shares under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements.

 

B.                                     The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, provide any or all holders of Non-Statutory Options or unvested shares of Common Stock under the Plan (other than the options granted or the shares issued under the Automatic Option Grant or Director Fee Option Grant Program) with the right to use shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of all or part of the Withholding Taxes to which such holders may become subject in connection with the exercise of their options or the vesting of their shares. Such right may be provided to any such holder in either or both of the following formats:

 

(i)                                     Stock Withholding: The election to have the Corporation withhold, from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the exercise of such Non-Statutory Option or the vesting of such shares, a portion of those shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the percentage of the Withholding Taxes (not to exceed one hundred percent (100%)) designated by the holder.

 

(ii)                                  Stock Delivery: The election to deliver to the Corporation, at the time the Non-Statutory Option is exercised or the shares vest, one or more shares of Common Stock previously acquired by such holder (other than in connection with the option exercise or share vesting triggering the Withholding Taxes) with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the percentage of the Withholding Taxes (not to exceed one hundred percent (100%)) designated by the holder.

 

III. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

 

A.                                   The Plan shall become effective immediately on the Plan Effective Date. However, the Salary Investment Option Grant Program and the Director Fee Option Grant Program shall not be implemented until such time as the Primary Committee may deem appropriate. Options may be granted under the Discretionary Option Grant at any time on or after the Plan Effective Date, and the initial option grants under the Automatic Option Grant Program shall also be made on the Plan Effective Date to any non-employee Board members eligible for such grants at that time. However, no options granted under the Plan may be exercised, and no shares shall be issued under the Plan, until the Plan is approved by the Corporation’s stockholders. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the Plan Effective Date, then all options previously granted

 

24



 

under this Plan shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, and no further options shall be granted and no shares shall be issued under the Plan.

 

B.                                     The Plan shall serve as the successor to the Predecessor Plan, and no further option grants or direct stock issuances shall be made under the Predecessor Plan after the Plan Effective Date. All options outstanding under the Predecessor Plan on the Plan Effective Date shall be incorporated into the Plan at that time and shall be treated as outstanding options under the Plan. However, each outstanding option so incorporated shall continue to be governed solely by the terms of the documents evidencing such option, and no provision of the Plan shall be deemed to affect or otherwise modify the rights or obligations of the holders of such incorporated options with respect to their acquisition of shares of Common Stock.

 

C.                                     One or more provisions of the Plan, including (without limitation) the option/vesting acceleration provisions of Article Two relating to Corporate Transactions and Changes in Control, may, in the Plan Administrator’s discretion, be extended to one or more options incorporated from the Predecessor Plan which do not otherwise contain such provisions.

 

D.                                    The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) January 31, 2010, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have been issued as fully vested shares or (iii) the termination of all outstanding options in connection with a Corporate Transaction. Should the Plan terminate on January 31, 2010, then all option grants and unvested stock issuances outstanding at that time shall continue to have force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the documents evidencing such grants or issuances.

 

IV. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

 

A.                                   The Board shall have complete and exclusive power and authority to amend or modify the Plan in any or all respects. However, no such amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations with respect to stock options or unvested stock issuances at the time outstanding under the Plan unless the Optionee or the Participant consents to such amendment or modification. In addition, certain amendments may require stockholder approval pursuant to applicable laws or regulations.

 

B.                                     Options to purchase shares of Common Stock may be granted under the Discretionary Option Grant and Salary Investment Option Grant Programs and shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program that are in each instance in excess of the number of shares then available for issuance under the Plan, provided any excess shares actually issued under those programs shall be held in escrow until there is obtained stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the date the first such excess issuances are made, then (i) any unexercised options granted on the basis of such excess shares shall terminate and cease to be outstanding and (ii) the Corporation shall promptly refund to the Optionees and the Participants the exercise or purchase price paid for any excess

 

25



 

shares issued under the Plan and held in escrow, together with interest (at the applicable Short Term Federal Rate) for the period the shares were held in escrow, and such shares shall thereupon be automatically cancelled and cease to be outstanding.

 

V. USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Any cash proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.

 

VI. REGULATORY APPROVALS

 

A.                                   The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any stock option under the Plan and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock (i) upon the exercise of any granted option or (ii) under the Stock Issuance Program shall be subject to the Corporation’s procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the stock options granted under it and the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to it.

 

B.                                     No shares of Common Stock or other assets shall be issued or delivered under the Plan unless and until there shall have been compliance with all applicable requirements of Federal and state securities laws, including the filing and effectiveness of the Form S-8 registration statement for the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan, and all applicable listing requirements of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if applicable) on which Common Stock is then listed for trading.

 

VII. NO EMPLOYMENT/SERVICE RIGHTS

 

Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee or the Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining such person) or of the Optionee or the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate such person’s Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause.
