Exhibit 4.4

AUDAX HEALTH SOLUTIONS, INC.

2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended as of October 2, 2013

This 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is intended to encourage ownership of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Stock”), of Audax Health Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), by its directors, officers, employees and consultants through the grant of Incentive Stock Options and Nonstatutory Stock Options (collectively, “Options”) and Restricted Stock (as such terms are defined below) in order to attract, motivate and retain outstanding individuals for such positions, to align their interests with those of the Company’s shareholders, and to provide them with appropriate compensation and additional incentives to promote the success of the Company.

1.         Administration of the Plan.   The administration of the Plan shall be under the general supervision of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), which shall, within the limits of the Plan, determine the persons (“Participants”) to whom and the times at which Options or Restricted Stock shall be granted. The Board may establish such rules as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan, make such determinations and interpretations with respect to the Plan and Options and Restricted Stock granted under it as may be necessary or desirable and include such further provisions or conditions with respect to which Options and Restricted Stock may be granted under the Plan as it deems advisable. To the extent permitted by law, the Board may delegate its authority under the Plan to a committee of the Board (a “Committee”). References to the Board herein shall include a Committee as applicable.

2.         Shares Subject to the Plan.

(a)        Number and Type of Shares.   Subject to the provisions of Section 2(b) and (c), the aggregate number of shares of Stock of the Company that may be issued pursuant to Options or Restricted Stock granted under the Plan is 42,520,790 shares of Common Stock. In addition, shares issued hereunder may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.

(b)        Adjustments; Assumption of Options.   In the event (i) of any stock dividend, split-up or combination of shares effected proportionately with respect to all outstanding shares of Stock, or (ii) the Board determines that any other recapitalization or any extraordinary cash dividend, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, exchange of shares or other similar capital change affects the Stock such that adjustment is required in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits of the Plan or any Option granted under the Plan, the Board (whose determination shall be conclusive) shall appropriately adjust (A) the number and kind of shares or securities of the Company that may be issued under the Plan, (B) the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Options, and (C) the exercise price or the repurchase price of Restricted Stock, so that the proportionate number of shares or other securities as to which Options or Restricted Stock may be granted and the proportionate interest of holders of outstanding Options shall be maintained as before the occurrence of such event. In the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off or exchange of shares, the Board in its discretion may cause any Option to be cancelled, assumed by another entity party to the transaction, or new rights substituted therefor, by another entity party to the transaction.

(c)        Restoration of Shares.   Shares subject to an Option that expires, is terminated unexercised, is forfeited for any reason, or is settled in a manner that results in fewer shares outstanding than were initially awarded, shares surrendered in payment of the option price or any tax obligation with respect to an Option or Restricted Stock, and shares of Restricted Stock that are repurchased by, or forfeited to, the Company shall again be available for granting Options or Restricted Stock under the Plan to the extent of such expiration, termination, forfeiture, repurchase or decrease subject, however, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, to any requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

3.         Options.

(a)        Types of Options.   Options shall be granted under the Plan either as incentive stock options (“Incentive Stock Options”), as defined in Section 422 of the Code, or as Options that do not meet the requirements of Section 422 (“Nonstatutory Stock Options”). Options may be granted from time to time by the Board to all employees of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary company of the Company (as defined in Sections 424(e) and (f), respectively, of the Code), and Nonstatutory Stock Options may also be granted to all non-employee directors and consultants of the Company or any such other company.

(b)        Date of Grant.   The date of grant for each Option shall be the date on which it is approved by the Board, or such later date as the Board may specify. No Incentive Stock Options shall be granted hereunder after ten years from the last date on which the Plan was approved for purposes of § 422 of the Code.

(c)        Option Price.   The price at which shares may from time to time be purchased (the “option price”) under each Option shall be determined by the Board, provided that such price shall not be less than the fair market value of the Stock on the date of grant as determined in good faith by the Board after taking into consideration all factors which it deems appropriate and in accordance with applicable statutory and regulatory guidelines (“Fair Market Value”); and provided further that no Option granted to any individual who is ineligible to be granted an Incentive Stock Option because his ownership of stock of the Company or its parent or subsidiary companies exceeds the limitations set forth in Section 422(b)(6) of the Code shall be an Incentive Stock Option unless the option price thereof is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant.

(d)        Payment.   No shares of Stock shall be delivered upon exercise of an Option until the Company receives full Payment for the exercise price therefore. Payment of the exercise price may be in cash or, to the extent permitted by the Board at or after the grant of the Option, pursuant to any of the following methods: (i) by delivery of a promissory note, (ii) by actual delivery or attestation of ownership of Shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant, or (iii) for such other lawful consideration as the Board may determine.

(e)        Term of Option; Exercisability.    The Board shall determine the term of all Options, the time or times that Options become exercisable and whether they become exercisable in installments; provided, however, that the term of each Incentive Stock Option shall not exceed a period of ten years from the date of its grant, and provided further that no Option granted to any individual who is ineligible to be granted such Option because his ownership of stock of the Company or its parent or subsidiary companies exceeds the limitations set forth in Section 422(b)(6) of the Code shall be an Incentive Stock Option unless the term thereof does not exceed a period of five years from the date of its grant.

(f)        Effect of Disability, Death or Termination of Employment.    The Board shall determine the effect on an Option of the disability, death, retirement or other termination of employment of a Participant and the extent to which, and the period during which, the Participant’s estate, legal representative, guardian, or beneficiary on death may exercise rights thereunder. Any beneficiary on death shall be designated by the Participant, in the manner determined by the Board, to exercise rights of the Participant in the case of the Participant’s death.

 

  2    2010 Equity Incentive Plan of Audax Health Solutions, Inc.    


(g)       Form of Options.  Options granted hereunder shall be evidenced by an instrument delivered to the Participant specifying the terms and conditions thereof and containing such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Board considers necessary or advisable to achieve the purposes of the Plan or comply with applicable tax and regulatory laws and accounting principles. The form of Options may vary among Participants; provided that, in the absence of a specific determination in any particular case, the forms of Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be as set forth in Exhibits A and B hereto, respectively.

(h)       Amendment or Termination of Options.  The Board may amend, modify, or terminate any outstanding Option, including substituting therefor another Option of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or realization and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock Option. Other than in connection with a Company reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off or exchange of shares, any such action shall require the Participant’s consent unless:

(i)        in the case of a termination of, or a reduction in the number of shares issuable under, an Option, any time period relating to the exercise of such Option or the eliminated portion, as the case may be, is waived or accelerated before such termination or reduction (and in such case the Board may provide for the Participant to receive cash or other property equal to the net value that would have been received upon exercise of the terminated Option or the eliminated portion, as the case may be); or

(ii)       in any other case, the Board determines that the action, taking into account any related action, would not materially and adversely affect the Participant.

(i)        Non-transferability of Options.  An Option (i) shall not be transferable other than as designated by the Participant, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and (ii) may be exercised, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. The Board may waive this restriction in any particular case, provided that Incentive Stock Options may be transferable only to the extent permitted by the Code.

(j)        No Rights as a Shareholder.   No Participant or any person claiming through a Participant shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Stock to be distributed under the Plan until he or she becomes the holder of such Stock thereof. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to such date, except as otherwise provided in this Plan.

4.         Restricted Stock.

(a)        Terms. The Board may issue shares of Stock to Participants subject to forfeiture or to the Company’s right to repurchase such shares (“Restricted Stock”). Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued without cash consideration or for such consideration as may be determined by the Board. The Board shall determine the duration of the period of time (the “Restricted Period”) during which, the price (if any) at which, and the other conditions under which, the shares may be forfeited or repurchased by the Company and other terms and conditions of such grants.

(b)        Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, except as permitted by the Board, during the Restricted Period. Any certificates issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of the Participant, shall contain such legend as the Board may require with respect to the restrictions on transfer and, if required by the Board, shall be deposited by the Participant, together with a stock power endorsed

 

   3    2010 Equity Incentive Plan of Audax Health Solutions, Inc.    


in blank, with the Company. At the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any of such shares, the Company shall deliver a certificate with respect to such shares, without a legend referring to the Plan’s restrictions on transfer, to the Participant or, if the Participant has died, to the Participant’s designated beneficiary or legal representative.

(c)        Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement.   Each recipient of Restricted Stock shall enter into a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement with the Company that shall specify the terms and conditions of such grant of Restricted Stock and shall contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan as the Board considers necessary or advisable to achieve the purposes of the Plan or comply with applicable tax and regulatory laws and accounting principles. The form of such Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement may vary among Participants. The Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement may be amended by the Board in any respect, provided that the consent of the Participant shall be required for any amendment, other than an amendment made in order to conform the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement or the Plan to restrictions imposed by securities or tax laws or regulations, that would materially and adversely affect the Participant.

5.         No Right to Employment or Other Relationship.  No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Option or Restricted Stock, and any grant of an Option or Restricted Stock shall not be construed as giving the Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company, The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to and any relationship it may have with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan except as specifically provided in the applicable Option or Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement.

6.          Documentation: Shareholder Agreement; Other Conditions.   Each Option and share of Restricted Stock issued under this Plan shall be evidenced by a writing delivered to the Participant specifying the terms and conditions thereof and containing such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Board considers necessary and advisable. The Board may at the time of grant of an Option or share of Restricted Stock or at any time thereafter, require as a condition for exercise of an Option or termination of a Restricted Period that each Participant execute a Shareholder Agreement containing such provisions relating to voting, restrictions on transferability, first refusal rights and otherwise as the Board may deem necessary or desirable and may at any time impose such additional conditions with respect to the issuance and/or delivery of stock under the Plan as it considers necessary or advisable to comply with the requirements of securities, tax or other laws or regulations, including without limitation restricting the transfer of such shares and requiring appropriate representations and agreements from the Participant, and the Company shall be entitled to postpone such issuance or delivery until such conditions have been met.

7.         Withholding.   The Participant shall pay to the Company, or make provision satisfactory to the Board for payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of any Option or Restricted Stock no later than the date of the event creating the tax liability. In the Board’s discretion, such tax obligations may be paid in whole or in part in shares of Stock, including shares retained from the exercise of the Option or from the grant of Restricted Stock creating the tax obligation, valued at the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of delivery to the Company. The Company and any of its affiliates may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant.

8.         Amendment or Termination.   The Board may amend or terminate the Plan, and any Option or Restrictive Stock award issued thereunder, at any time, subject to such approval of the shareholders as the Board shall deem necessary or advisable.

 

  4    2010 Equity Incentive Plan of Audax Health Solutions, Inc.    


9.          Change of Control.  All Options or Restricted Stock issued under the Plan that are subject to vesting shall automatically without any further action by the Board vest in their entirety immediately prior to any merger, recapitalization or other corporate transaction involving the Company, including without limitation any sale of all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of the Company.

10.        Shareholder Approval.   The Plan shall be presented for approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months from the date the Plan was adopted by the Board. In the event such approval is not obtained, all Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be deemed to be Nonstatutory Stock Options and no further Incentive Stock Options may be granted, but the provisions of the Plan regarding other Options and Restricted Stock shall remain in effect.

11.        Governing Law.   The provisions of the Plan and all Options made hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any applicable conflict of law principles.

12.        Effective Date and Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective on the date on which it is adopted by the Board. No Options shall be granted under the Plan after the completion of ten years from the earlier of (i) the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board or (ii) the date the Plan was approved or reapproved by the Company’s stockholders, but Options or Restricted Stock previously granted may extend beyond that date.

13.        Lock-up Agreement.   The Company may, in its discretion, require in connection with an initial public offering that a Participant agree that any Stock not be sold, offered for sale, or otherwise disposed of for a period of time as determined by the Board.
