Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Delaware Law, Certificate of Incorporation, and Bylaws

 

The following provisions of Delaware law and the registrant’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws govern the indemnification of the registrant’s directors and officers.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) permits a corporation to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or other person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, any such person we refer to as an indemnitee, against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was serving the corporation or another entity at the direction of the corporation, provided that the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he or she had no reason to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action (i.e., one brought by or on behalf of the corporation), indemnification may be provided only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such an action or suit if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be provided if the indemnitee is adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought determines that the indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for his or her expenses despite the adjudication of liability.

 

Section 145(g) of the DGCL also provides that a corporation may maintain insurance against liabilities even if the corporation would lack the power under the DGCL to indemnify against those liabilities.

 

Article Ninth of the registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides that a director is not liable to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. It further obligates the registrant, with respect to its officers and directors, and permits the registrant, with respect to its employees and agents, to indemnify, in the manner and to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, any person (or the estate of any person) who is or was a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether or not by or in the right of the registrant, and whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer, or employee or agent, as the case may be, of the registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the registrant as a director or officer, or employee or agent, as the case may be, of another corporation or entity. The registrant may advance the expenses incurred by any such director, officer, employee or agent in defending any such action, suit or proceeding prior to its final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by the recipient to repay the amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by the DGCL and the registrant’s certificate of incorporation. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, the indemnification provided in the certificate of incorporation includes expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and, in the manner provided by the DGCL, the registrant may pay any of these expenses in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding.

 

Except as described in this paragraph, Article VII of the registrant’s bylaws contains provisions substantially similar to Article Ninth of the registrant’s certificate of incorporation. In addition, the registrant’s bylaws obligate the registrant to indemnify each of its officers, directors, employees and agents in any action, suit or proceeding referred to above to the extent that person has been successful on the merits in defense thereof, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by that person in connection therewith. The registrant’s bylaws obligate the registrant to advance expenses to its officers and directors, and require an undertaking to repay expenses under the specified conditions if required by applicable law.

 

 

 

 3 

 

 

General

 

The registrant also maintains insurance for its officers and directors against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. The effect of this insurance is to indemnify any of the registrant’s officers or directors against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, incurred by an officer or director upon a determination that such person acted in good faith. The registrant pays the premiums for this insurance.

 

The registrant has also entered into separate indemnification agreements with its officers and directors, which indemnify the officer or director against all liabilities relating to his or her position as an officer or director of the registrant, or as an employee, agent, officer or director of any other entity if the officer or director is serving in that capacity at the registrant’s request, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

  

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to the registrant’s directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In addition, indemnification for violations of state securities laws may be limited by applicable laws.

Item 9. Undertakings

 

  (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
     
  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§ 230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
     
  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

 

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

  (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
     
  (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

August 9, 2023

 

 

RadNet, Inc.

1510 Cotner Avenue

Los Angeles, CA 90025  

 

 

  Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This opinion is being furnished in connection with the filing by RadNet, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), of a registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering 3,600,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which may be issued pursuant to the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, amended and restated as of April 27, 2023 (the “Plan”). This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 8 of Form S-8 and Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K.

 

In connection with this opinion, I have reviewed the Registration Statement, the Company’s charter documents, the proceedings taken by the Company with respect to the authorization and adoption of the Plan, and such other documents, records, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as I deem necessary as a basis for this opinion. With respect to the foregoing documents, I have assumed (a) the genuineness of all signatures, (b) the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals and (c) the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to me as certified or reproduced copies. I have obtained certificates or assurances from the officers of the Company as to certain factual matters and, insofar as this opinion is based on matters of fact, I have relied on such certificates without independent investigation.

 

I have also assumed that either (a) the stock certificates to be issued to represent the Shares will conform to the specimen common stock certificate submitted to me, and will be duly executed by the Company and countersigned by the transfer agent therefor in accordance with Section 158 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (b) the Shares will be uncertificated in accordance with Section 158 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company’s Bylaws, and the transfer agent therefor will register the purchaser thereof as the registered owner of any uncertificated Shares on its stock transfer books and records. I have further assumed that (i) shares currently reserved will remain available for the issuance of the Shares, and (ii) neither the Company’s charter documents nor any of the proceedings relating to the Plan, nor any of the agreements issued under the Plan and relating to the Shares, will be rescinded, amended or otherwise modified prior to the issuance of the Shares.

 

Based on the foregoing review and assumptions, I am of the opinion that upon issuance, delivery and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Plan and any agreements that accompany the Plan, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

I consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to me under the caption “Interest of Named Experts and Counsel” contained in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, I do not admit that I am an “expert” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, with respect to any part of the Registration Statement.

 

My opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above, and I render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the Company, the Shares, the Plan, the option or other agreements related to the Shares, or the Registration Statement. I express no opinion as to matters governed by any laws other than the Delaware General Corporation Law, the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported decisions of the Delaware courts interpreting these respective laws in effect as of the date of this opinion.

 

 

  Respectfully submitted,

(Amended and Restated as of April 27, 2023)

 

1.            Purpose of the Plan. The purpose of this Plan is to encourage ownership in the Company by key personnel whose long-term service the Company considers essential to its continued progress and, thereby, encourage recipients to act in the stockholders’ interest and share in the Company’s success.

 

2.            DefinitionsAs used herein, the following definitions shall apply. However, if a Participant’s employment agreement or Award Agreement (or other written agreement executed by and between Participant and the Company) expressly includes defined terms that are different from and/or conflict with the defined terms contained in this Plan then the defined terms contained in the employment agreement or Award Agreement (or other written agreement executed by and between Participant and the Company) shall govern and shall supersede the definitions provided in this Plan:

 

“2023 Annual Meeting” shall mean the date of the consummation of the Company’s regular annual meeting of its stockholders in 2023.

 

“Administrator” shall mean the Board, any Committee, or such delegates as shall be administering the Plan in accordance with Section 4 of the Plan.

The number of Shares delivered to the Participant may be further reduced if Cashless Exercise is utilized to satisfy applicable tax withholding obligations arising from the exercise of the Option. 

  

“Cause” shall mean, with respect to a Participant, the occurrence of any of the following: (i) Participant’s personal dishonesty, willful misconduct, or breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, (ii) Participant’s continuing intentional or habitual failure to perform stated duties, (iii) Participant’s violation of any law (other than minor traffic violations or similar misdemeanor offenses not involving moral turpitude), (iv) Participant’s material breach of any provision of an employment or independent contractor agreement with the Company, or (v) any other act or omission by a Participant that, in the opinion of the Committee, could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s or an Affiliate’s business, financial condition, prospects and/or reputation.

A Participant’s service shall be deemed to have terminated for Cause if, after the Participant’s service has terminated, facts and circumstances are discovered that would have justified a termination for Cause, including, without limitation, violation of material Company policies or breach of noncompetition, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant.

b.             Share Accounting. This Section 3.b describes the Share accounting process under the Plan with respect to the Share Limit and ISO Limit.

 

(i)             There shall be counted against the numerical limitations in Section 3.a the gross number of Shares subject to issuance upon exercise or used for determining payment or settlement of Awards. The below clauses of this Section 3.b seek to clarify the intent of the foregoing sentence.

 

 

 

 4 

 

 

(ii)            The Shares issued (or settled) under an Award will be counted against the Share Limit (and ISO Limit if the Award is an ISO) at the time(s) of exercise or settlement of the Award. For avoidance of doubt, Shares that are withheld as payment for the Award's Exercise Price or applicable withholding taxes shall be counted against the Share Limit (and ISO Limit if the Award is an ISO).

 

(iii)           For avoidance of doubt, whether or not a SAR is settled with any Shares, the gross number of Shares subject to the exercise and which are used for determining the benefit payable under such SAR shall be counted against the Share Limit, regardless of the number of Shares actually used to settle the SAR upon such exercise.

 

(iv)           For avoidance of doubt, to the extent an Option is exercised via a Cashless Exercise or Net Exercise or is not otherwise fully settled with Shares, then the gross number of Shares subject to the exercise and which are used for determining the benefit payable under such Option shall be counted against the Share Limit (and shall also count against the ISO Limit if the Option being exercised is an ISO), regardless of the number of Shares actually issued to the Participant upon such exercise. Shares that have been repurchased by the Company using Option exercise proceeds shall not be added back to the Share Limit (or ISO Limit).

 

(v)            If any portion of an Award is forfeited, terminated without consideration, or expires unexercised, (collectively, "Forfeited Shares"), the gross number of such Forfeited Shares shall again be available for Awards under the Plan and shall not be counted against the Share Limit or ISO Limit.

 

(vi)           For avoidance of doubt, if any Awards are settled or paid in cash in lieu of stock and/or are exchanged for other Awards (collectively, "Settled Shares"), the gross number of such Settled Shares shall be counted against the Share Limit (and ISO Limit if the Award is an ISO).

 

(vii)          Shares attributable to Awards transferred under any Award transfer program shall not be again available for grant under the Plan. Any Conversion Awards including without limitation any Shares that are delivered and any Awards that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Company, as a result of the assumption by the Company of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by another entity (as provided below) shall not be counted toward the limits set forth in Section 3.a.

 

4.            Administration of the Plan.

 

a.             Procedure.

 

(i)            Multiple Administrative Bodies. The Plan shall be administered by the Board, the Administrator, or one or more Committees, including such delegates as may be appointed under paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 4.

 

(ii)           Rule 16b-3. To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 16b-3”), Awards to Officers and Directors shall be made in such a manner to satisfy the requirement for exemption from Exchange Act Section 16(b) liability under Rule 16b-3.

 

(iii)          Other Administration. The Board or a Committee may delegate to an authorized Officer or Officers of the Company the power to grant Awards (to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws and in accordance with grant parameters and limitations established by the Board) to Awardees who are not (A) subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or (B) Covered Employees.

(iii)          to determine the type of Award to be granted to the selected Service Provider;

(v)           to determine the terms and conditions, consistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award. Such terms and conditions include the Exercise Price or purchase price, the time or times when an Award may be exercised (which may or may not be based on performance criteria), the vesting schedule, any vesting or exercisability acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, the acceptable forms of consideration, the term, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine and may be established at the time an Award is granted or thereafter;

 

(vi)          to correct administrative errors;

 

(vii)         to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan (including sub-plans and Plan addenda) and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

 

(viii)        to adopt rules and procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized (A) to adopt the rules and procedures regarding the conversion of local currency, withholding procedures, and handling of stock certificates that vary with local requirements; and (B) to adopt sub-plans and Plan addenda as the Administrator deems desirable, to accommodate foreign laws, regulations and practice;

 

(ix)           to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans and Plan addenda;

 

(x)            to modify or amend each Award, including the acceleration of vesting, exercisability, or both; provided, however, that any modification or amendment of an Award is subject to Section 15 of the Plan and may not materially impair any outstanding Award unless agreed to by the Participant;

 

(xi)           to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax amounts by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued pursuant to an Award that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined in such manner and on such date that the Administrator shall determine or, in the absence of provision otherwise, on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by a Participant to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may provide;

 

(xii)          to authorize conversion or substitution under the Plan of any or all stock options, stock appreciation rights, or other stock awards held by service providers of an entity acquired by the Company (the “Conversion Awards”). Any conversion or substitution shall be effective as of the close of the merger or acquisition. The Conversion Awards may be NSOs or ISOs, as determined by the Administrator, with respect to options granted by the acquired entity. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator at the time of conversion or substitution, all Conversion Awards shall have the same terms and conditions as Awards generally granted by the Company under the Plan;

 

 

 

 6 

 

 

(xiii)         to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator;

 

(xiv)         to determine whether Awards will be settled in Shares, cash, or in any combination thereof;

 

(xv)          to determine whether to provide for the right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents;

 

(xvi)         to establish a program whereby Service Providers designated by the Administrator can reduce compensation otherwise payable in cash in exchange for Awards under the Plan;

 

(xvii)        to impose such restrictions, conditions, or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by a Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any Shares issued as a result of or under an Award, including (A) restrictions under an insider trading policy, and (B) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers;

 

(xviii)       to provide, either at the time an Award is granted or by subsequent action, that an Award shall contain as a term thereof, a right, either in tandem with the other rights under the Award or as an alternative thereto, of the Participant to receive, without payment to the Company, a number of Shares, cash, or a combination of both, the amount of which is determined by reference to the value of the Award; and

 

(xix)          to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan and any Award granted hereunder.

 

c.             Effect of Administrator Decisions. All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Administrator regarding the Plan, any rules and regulations under the Plan and the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder, shall be final and binding on all Participants and any other persons or entities. The Administrator shall consider such factors as it deems relevant, in its sole and absolute discretion, to making such decisions, determinations and interpretations, including the recommendations or advice of any officer or other employee of the Company and such attorneys, consultants and accountants as it may select. The Administrator’s decisions and determinations will be afforded the maximum deference provided by Applicable Laws.

  

d.             Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Administrator shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from (i) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan or any Award Agreement, and (ii) from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

 

e.             Suspension of Termination of Awards. If at any time (including after a notice of exercise has been delivered), the Administrator reasonably believes that a Participant has committed an act of Cause, the Administrator may suspend the Participant’s right to exercise any Award (or vesting or settlement of any Award) pending a determination of whether there was in fact an act of Cause. If a Participant’s service is terminated by the Company for Cause or the Administrator determines a Participant has committed an act of Cause, neither the Participant nor his or her estate shall be entitled to exercise any outstanding Award whatsoever and all of Participant’s outstanding Awards shall then terminate without consideration (except for, if legally required, repayment of any amounts the Participant had paid to the Company to acquire unvested Shares underlying the forfeited Awards).

5.             EligibilityAwards may be granted only to Service Providers.

 

6.             Effective Date and Term of the PlanOn the Restatement Date, the Board approved the amendment and restatement of the Prior Plan into this Plan subject to and conditioned upon obtaining Company stockholder approval on or before the 2023 Annual Meeting. The Prior Plan will remain in effect for issuing new Awards until the Stockholder Approval Date and the Prior Plan will continue to govern Awards that were issued under the Prior Plan before the Stockholder Approval Date. If Company stockholders do not approve this Plan, then this Plan will terminate without force or effect as of the day after the 2023 Annual Meeting and the Prior Plan shall continue to remain in effect for issuing Awards. If this Plan is approved by Company stockholders, then unless the Plan is previously terminated by the Administrator, no further Awards may be issued under this Plan after the day before the tenth anniversary of the Restatement Date.

 

7.             Term of AwardThe term of each Award shall be determined by the Administrator and stated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Option or SAR, the term shall be ten years from the Grant Date or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.

 

8.             OptionsThe Administrator may grant an Option or provide for the grant of an Option, from time to time in the discretion of the Administrator or automatically upon the occurrence of specified events, including the achievement of performance goals, and for the satisfaction of an event or condition within the control of the Awardee or within the control of others.

 

a.             Option Agreement. Each Option Agreement shall contain provisions regarding (i) the number of Shares that may be issued upon exercise of the Option; (ii) the type of Option (if the Option is not expressly designated to be an ISO then such Option shall be a NSO); (iii) the Exercise Price for the Shares and the means of payment for the Shares; (iv) the term of the Option; (v) such terms and conditions on the vesting or exercisability of an Option, or both, as may be determined from time to time by the Administrator; (vi) restrictions on the transfer of the Option and forfeiture provisions; and (vii) such further terms and conditions, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan, as may be determined from time to time by the Administrator.

 

b.             Exercise Price. The Exercise Price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following:

 

(i)            In the case of an ISO, the Exercise Price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any ISO is granted to a Ten-Percent Stockholder, then the Exercise Price shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.

 

(ii)           In the case of a NSO, the Exercise Price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date. The Exercise Price may also vary according to a predetermined formula; provided, that the Exercise Price never falls below 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date.

 

(iii)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the Administrator’s discretion, Conversion Awards may be granted in substitution or conversion of options of an acquired entity, with an Exercise Price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of such substitution or conversion. 

 

c.             Vesting Period and Exercise Dates. Options granted under this Plan shall vest, be exercisable, or both, at such times and in such installments during the Option’s term as determined by the Administrator. The Administrator shall have the right to make the timing of the ability to exercise any Option granted under this Plan subject to continued service, the passage of time, or such performance requirements as deemed appropriate by the Administrator. At any time after the grant of an Option, the Administrator may reduce or eliminate any restrictions surrounding any Participant’s right to exercise all or part of the Option.

 

 

 

 8 

 

 

d.             Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment, either through the terms of the Option Agreement or at the time of exercise of an Option. The consideration, determined by the Administrator (or pursuant to authority expressly delegated by the Board, a Committee, or other person), and in the form and amount required by Applicable Laws, shall be actually received before issuing any Shares pursuant to the Plan, which consideration shall have a value, as determined by the Board, not less than the par value of such Shares. Acceptable forms of consideration may include:

 

(i)            cash;

 

(ii)           check or wire transfer;

 

(iii)          subject to any conditions or limitations established by the Administrator, other Shares that have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation that does not exceed the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised;

 

(iv)          consideration received by the Company under a Cashless Exercise to the extent that the Cashless Exercise would not violate Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and subject to any conditions or limitations established by the Administrator;

 

(v)           Net Exercise, subject to any conditions or limitations established by the Administrator;

9.             Incentive Stock Option Limitations.

 

a.             Eligibility. Only Employees (as determined in accordance with Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Company or any of its Related Corporations may be granted Incentive Stock Options.

 

b.             $100,000 Limitation. Notwithstanding the designation “Incentive Stock Option” in an Option Agreement, if the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Awardee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any of its Related Corporations) exceeds $100,000, then the portion of such Options that exceeds $100,000 shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. An Incentive Stock Option is considered to be first exercisable during a calendar year if the Incentive Stock Option will become exercisable at any time during the year, assuming that any condition on the Awardee’s ability to exercise the Incentive Stock Option related to the performance of services is satisfied. If the Awardee’s ability to exercise the Incentive Stock Option in the year is subject to an acceleration provision, then the Incentive Stock Option is considered first exercisable in the calendar year in which the acceleration provision is triggered. For purposes of this Section 9(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the Grant Date.

 

c.             Leave of Absence. For purposes of a Participant’s outstanding Option retaining its status as an Incentive Stock Option, no leave of absence for such Participant may exceed three months, unless the right to reemployment upon expiration of such leave is provided by statute or contract. If the period of leave exceeds three months and the Participant’s right to reemployment is not provided by statute or contract, the Participant’s employment with the Company shall be deemed to terminate for purposes of income tax treatment on the first day immediately following such three-month period, and any Incentive Stock Option granted to the Participant shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option upon the expiration of the three-month period starting on the date the employment relationship is deemed terminated.

 

 

 

 9 

 

 

d.             Transferability. The Option Agreement must provide that an Incentive Stock Option cannot be transferable by the Awardee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of such Awardee, must not be exercisable by any other person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may allow the Awardee to transfer his or her Incentive Stock Option to a trust where under Section 671 of the Code and other Applicable Laws, the Awardee is considered the sole beneficial owner of the Option while it is held in the trust. If the terms of an Incentive Stock Option are amended to permit transferability, the Option will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

 

e.             Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an Incentive Stock Option shall be determined by the Administrator in accordance with Section 8(b)(i) of the Plan.

 

f.              Ten-Percent Stockholder. If any Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Ten-Percent Stockholder, then the Option term shall not exceed five years measured from the Grant Date of such Option. 

 

g.             Other Terms. Option Agreements evidencing Incentive Stock Options shall contain such other terms and conditions as may be necessary to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, to the extent determined desirable by the Administrator, under the applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code.

 

10.          Exercise of Option.

 

a.             Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder.

 

(i)            Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the respective Award Agreement.

 

(ii)           An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives (A) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Award Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option; (B) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the related Option is exercised; and (C) full payment of all applicable withholding taxes.

 

(iii)          Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Unless provided otherwise by the Administrator or pursuant to this Plan, until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.

 

(iv)          The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares as soon as administratively practicable after the Option is exercised. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

 

b.            Effect of Termination of Service on Options.

 

(i)            Generally. Unless otherwise provided for by the Administrator, if a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the Termination Date (but in no event later than the earlier of the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement or the date of a Change in Control in which the Option is not being assumed or otherwise continued after the Change in Control). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the vested portion of the Option will remain exercisable for three months following the Participant’s Termination Date. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the Termination Date the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will automatically revert to the Plan. If after the Termination of Service the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option will automatically terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

 

 

 

 10 

 

 

(ii)           Disability of Participant. Unless otherwise provided for by the Administrator, if a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the Termination Date (but in no event later than the earlier of the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement or the date of a Change in Control in which the Option is not being assumed or otherwise continued after the Change in Control). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve months following the Participant’s Termination Date. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at the time of Disability the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will automatically revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will automatically revert to the Plan. 

 

(iii)          Death of Participant. Unless otherwise provided for by the Administrator, if a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised following the Participant’s death within such period as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event later than the earlier of the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement or the date of a Change in Control in which the Option is not being assumed or otherwise continued after the Change in Control) by the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated before the Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person or persons to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve months following Participant’s death. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at the time of death Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

a.             Stock Award Agreement. Each Stock Award Agreement shall contain provisions regarding (i) the number of Shares subject to such Stock Award or a formula for determining such number; (ii) the purchase price, if any, of the Shares, and the means of payment for the Shares; (iii) the performance criteria, if any, and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall determine the number of Shares granted, issued, retained, or vested, as applicable; (iv) such terms and conditions on the grant, issuance, vesting, or forfeiture of the Shares, as applicable, as may be determined from time to time by the Administrator; (v) restrictions on the transferability of the Stock Award; and (vi) such further terms and conditions in each case not inconsistent with this Plan as may be determined from time to time by the Administrator.

 

b.             Restrictions and Performance Criteria. The grant, issuance, retention, and vesting of each Stock Award may be subject to such performance criteria and level of achievement versus these criteria as the Administrator shall determine, which criteria may be based on, among other things, financial performance, personal performance evaluations, or completion of service by the Awardee.

 

c.             Forfeiture. Unless otherwise provided for by the Administrator, upon the Awardee’s Termination of Service, the unvested Stock Award and the Shares subject thereto shall be forfeited, provided that to the extent that the Participant purchased any Shares pursuant to such Stock Award, the Company shall have a right to repurchase the unvested portion of such Shares at the lesser of the then Share Fair Market Value or original price paid by the Participant.

 

d.             Rights as a Stockholder. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, the Participant shall have the rights equivalent to those of a stockholder and shall be a stockholder only after Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) to the Participant. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, a Participant holding a vested Stock Award shall be entitled to receive dividend payments as if he or she were an actual stockholder and a Participant holding an unvested Stock Award shall be entitled to receive dividends declared while the Stock Award is not vested to the extent (and when) the underlying Stock Award becomes vested.

 

 

 

 11 

 

 

e.             Stock Units. Settlement of vested Stock Units may be made in the form of (a) cash, (b) Shares or (c) any combination of both, as determined by the Committee. The actual number of Stock Units eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the number included in the original Award. Methods of converting Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Shares over a series of trading days. Except as otherwise provided in a Stock Award Agreement or a timely completed deferral election, vested Stock Units shall be settled within thirty days after vesting. The Stock Award Agreement may provide that distribution may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to the Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred, in accordance with Applicable Laws, to a later specified date. The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Stock Units is settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 14. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Award Agreement.

 

12.          Stock Appreciation RightsSubject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a SAR may be granted to a Service Provider at any time and from time to time as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

 

a.             Number of SARs. The Administrator shall have complete discretion to determine the number of SARs granted to any Service Provider.

 

b.             Exercise Price and Other Terms. The Exercise Price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date. The Administrator, subject to the provisions of the Plan, shall have complete discretion to determine the other terms and conditions of SARs granted under the Plan.

 

c.             Exercise of SARs. SARs shall be exercisable on such terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

 

d.             SAR Agreement. Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by a SAR Agreement that will specify the Exercise Price, the term of the SAR, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

 

e.             Expiration of SARs. A SAR granted under the Plan shall expire upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the SAR Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of Section 10(b) will also apply to SARs.

 

f.              Payment of SAR Amount. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a payment from the Company, for each Share exercised, in an amount equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price of the SAR less the amount of applicable tax withholding amounts due as a result of such exercise. This amount shall be paid in cash, Shares of equivalent value, or a combination of both, as the Administrator shall determine.

 

13.          Other Provisions Applicable to Awards.

 

a.             Non-Transferability of Awards. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, either at the time of grant or thereafter, such Award shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate, and any transferee shall be bound by such terms upon acceptance of such transfer.

 

 

 

 12 

 

 

b.             Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Plan and Awards granted hereunder are intended to be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intention. In the event that any provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement is determined by the Administrator to not comply with the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A or the applicable regulations and other guidance issued thereunder, the Administrator shall have the authority (but not an affirmative obligation) to take such actions and to make such changes to the Plan or an Award Agreement as the Administrator deems necessary to comply with such requirements. Any payment made pursuant to any Award shall be considered a separate payment and not one of a series of payments for purposes of Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything elsewhere in the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, if upon a Participant’s Separation From Service he/she is then a Specified Employee, then solely to the extent necessary to comply with Code Section 409A and avoid the imposition of taxes under Code Section 409A, the Company shall defer payment of “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Code Section 409A payable as a result of and within six (6) months following such Separation From Service under this Plan until the earlier of (i) the first business day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Separation From Service, or (ii) ten (10) days after the Company receives written confirmation of the Participant’s death. Any such delayed payments shall be made without interest. While it is intended that all payments and benefits provided under the Plan or an Award will be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A, the Company makes no representation or covenant to ensure that the payments under the Plan or an Award are exempt from or compliant with Code Section 409A. In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable if a payment or benefit under the Plan or an Award is challenged by any taxing authority or for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on a Participant by Code Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A. The Participant will be entirely responsible for any and all taxes on any benefits payable to such Participant as a result of the Plan or an Award. If the applicable Award Agreement or Participant’s employment agreement provides for Code Section 409A related provisions other than what is specified above in this Section 13(b), then such provisions in the Award Agreement or employment agreement shall govern.

 

c.            Clawback Policy. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Company may (i) cause the cancellation of any Award, (ii) require reimbursement of any Award by a Participant and (iii) effect any other right of recoupment of equity or other compensation provided under this Plan or otherwise in accordance with Company policies as may be adopted and/or modified from time to time by the Company (including, without limitation, the Company’s Policy on Recoupment of Compensation as adopted by the Board and as may be amended from time to time by the Company) and/or Applicable Laws (each, a “Clawback Policy”). In addition, a Participant may be required to repay to the Company certain previously paid compensation, whether provided under this Plan or an Award Agreement or otherwise, in accordance with the Clawback Policy. By accepting an Award, a Participant is also agreeing to be bound by the Company’s Clawback Policy which may be amended from time to time by the Company in its discretion (including without limitation to comply with Applicable Laws or stock exchange requirements) and is further agreeing that all of the Participant’s Awards (and/or awards issued under the Prior Plan or other Company equity/incentive compensation plans or agreements) may be unilaterally amended by the Company to the extent needed to comply with the Clawback Policy.

 

d.             No Repricing or Re-Load Options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, and except for an adjustment pursuant to Section 14 or a repricing approved by the stockholders, in no case may the Administrator (1) amend an outstanding stock option or SAR to reduce the Exercise Price or base price of the Award, (2) cancel, exchange or surrender an outstanding stock option or SAR in exchange for cash or other awards for the purpose of repricing the Award, or (3) cancel, exchange, or surrender an outstanding stock option or SAR in exchange for an option or SAR with an Exercise Price or base price that is less than the Exercise Price or base price of the original Award. Re-Load Options may not be awarded without the approval of Company stockholders.

 

e.             No Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant, or a transferee of a Participant, shall have no rights as a stockholder (including without limitation voting rights or dividend or distribution rights) with respect to any Common Stock covered by an Award until such person becomes entitled to receive such Common Stock, has satisfied any applicable withholding or tax obligations relating to the Award and the Common Stock has been issued to the Participant. No adjustment shall be made for cash or stock dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date when such Common Stock is issued, except as expressly provided in Section 14.

 

f.              Dividends. Any dividends or dividend equivalents distributed under the Plan shall not be counted against the Section 3(a)(i) Share grant limit. Dividends and dividend equivalents will not be paid (or accrue) on unexercised Options or unexercised SARs. Dividends and dividend equivalents may not be paid with respect to unvested Awards (although they may accrue on unvested Stock Awards for payment upon vesting of such Stock Awards).

 

 

 

 13 

 

 

14.          Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger or Asset Sale.

 

a.             Changes in Capitalization.

 

(i)            The limitations set forth in Section 3, the number and kind of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the price per Share (but not the total price) subject to each outstanding Award shall be proportionally adjusted to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights under the Plan for any change in the outstanding Common Stock subject to the Plan, or subject to any Award, resulting from any stock splits, combination or exchange of Shares, consolidation, spin-off or recapitalization of Shares or any capital adjustment or transaction similar to the foregoing or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than regular cash dividends.

 

(ii)           The Administrator shall make such adjustment in such manner as it may deem equitable and appropriate, subject to compliance with Applicable Laws. Any determination, substitution or adjustment made by the Administrator under this Section shall be conclusive and binding on all persons. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award.

 

b.            Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Participant as soon as practicable before the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised or settled, an Award will terminate immediately before the consummation of such proposed transaction.

 

c.            Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, immediately prior to a Change in Control, the time-based vesting conditions of all unvested Awards shall be deemed to be fully satisfied and any Awards which had performance based vesting conditions that had yet to be satisfied shall be forfeited without consideration. Any Award Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the applicable Change in Control transaction agreement(s).

 

15.          Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

 

a.            Amendment and Termination. The Administrator may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan or any Award Agreement, but any such amendment shall be subject to approval of the stockholders of the Company in the manner and to the extent required by Applicable Laws.

 

b.            Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall materially impair the rights of any Award, unless agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan before the date of such termination.

 

c.            Effect of the Plan on Other Arrangements. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or any Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it or they may deem desirable, including for example the granting of restricted stock or stock options otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

 

16.          Designation of Beneficiary.

 

a.            An Awardee may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive the Awardee’s rights pursuant to Awardee’s Award or the Awardee may include his or her Awards in an omnibus beneficiary designation for all rights under the Awardee’s Awards and all benefits under the Plan. To the extent that Awardee has completed a designation of beneficiary such beneficiary designation shall remain in effect with respect to any Award hereunder until changed by the Awardee to the extent enforceable under Applicable Laws. 

 

 

 

 14 

 

 

b.            The Awardee may change such designation of beneficiary at any time by written notice. If an Awardee dies and no beneficiary is validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such Awardee’s death, the Company shall allow the executor or administrator of the estate of the Awardee to receive the Awardee’s rights under the Awardee’s Awards and all benefits under the Plan, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may allow the spouse or one or more dependents or relatives of the Awardee to receive the Awardee’s rights under the Awardee’s Awards and all benefits under the Plan to the extent permissible under Applicable Laws.

  

17.          No Right to Awards or to ServiceNo person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award and the grant of any Award shall not be construed as giving an Awardee the right to continue in the service of the Company or its Affiliates. Further, the Company and its Affiliates expressly reserve the right, at any time, to dismiss any Service Provider or Awardee or Participant at any time without liability or any claim under the Plan, except as provided herein or in any Award Agreement entered into hereunder.

 

18.          Preemptive RightsNo Shares will be issued under the Plan in violation of any preemptive rights held by any stockholder of the Company.

 

19.          Legal ComplianceNo Shares will be issued pursuant to an Award under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares, as well as the exercise of such Award, if applicable, will comply with Applicable Laws. Issuance of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

 

20.          Inability to Obtain AuthorityTo the extent the Company is unable to or the Administrator deems that it is not feasible to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, the Company shall be relieved of any liability with respect to the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

 

21.          Code Section 162(m).

 

a.             Applicability. The provisions of Section 21(b) shall apply to an Award if and only if all of the following items (i) through (iii) in this Section 21(a) were true as of the Grant Date of such Award:

 

(i)            the Company was a “publicly held corporation” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m);

 

(ii)           the deduction limitations of Code Section 162(m) were applicable to Awards granted to Covered Employees under this Plan; and

 

(iii)          the Award was intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m).

 

b.             Administration. Awards issued in accordance with this Section 21 shall be administered by a Committee whose composition satisfies the outside director requirements under Code Section 162(m) with respect to performance-based compensation. 

 

22.          NoticeAny written notice to the Company required by any provisions of this Plan shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company and shall be effective when received. Subject to compliance with Applicable Laws and/or regulations, an Award Agreement or other documentation or notices relating to the Plan and/or Awards may be communicated to Participants (and executed by Participants) by electronic media.

 

 

 

 15 

 

 

23.          Governing Law; Interpretation of Plan and Awards.

 

a.             Governing Law. This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the state of Delaware. The Committee may provide that any dispute as to any Award shall be presented and determined in such forum as the Committee may specify, including through binding arbitration. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, recipients of an Award under the Plan are deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of California to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to the Plan or any related Award Agreement.

 

b.             Enforceability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan is declared to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be reformed, if possible, to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid, and enforceable, or otherwise deleted, and the remainder of the terms of the Plan and Award shall not be affected except to the extent necessary to reform or delete such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision. In the event of any conflict in terms between the Plan and any Award Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall prevail and govern.

 

c.             Headings. The headings preceding the text of the sections hereof are inserted solely for convenience of reference, and shall not constitute a part of the Plan, nor shall they affect its meaning, construction or effect.

 

d.             Binding Provisions; Successor Provisions. The terms of the Plan and any Award shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective permitted heirs, beneficiaries, successors, and assigns. Any reference to a statute, rule or regulation, or to a section of a statute, rule or regulation, is a reference to that statute, rule, regulation, or section as amended from time to time, both before and after the Restatement Date and including any successor provisions.

 

e.             Administrator Decisions. All questions arising under the Plan or under any Award shall be decided by the Administrator in its total and absolute discretion. If the Participant believes that a decision by the Administrator with respect to such person was arbitrary or capricious, the Participant may request arbitration with respect to such decision. The review by the arbitrator shall be limited to determining whether the Administrator’s decision was arbitrary or capricious. This arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive review permitted of the Administrator’s decision, and the Awardee shall as a condition to the receipt of an Award be deemed to waive explicitly any right to judicial review.

 

24.          Limitation on LiabilityThe Company and any Affiliate or Related Corporation that is in existence or hereafter comes into existence shall not be liable to a Participant, an Employee, an Awardee, or any other persons as to:

 

a.             The Non-Issuance of Shares. The non-issuance or sale of Shares as to which the Company has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder; and

 

b.             Tax Consequences. Any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any Participant, Employee, Awardee or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Option or other Award granted hereunder.

 

25.          Unfunded PlanInsofar as it provides for Awards, the Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Awardees who are granted Stock Awards under this Plan, any such accounts will be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. The Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards, nor shall this Plan be construed as providing for such segregation, nor shall the Company or the Administrator be deemed a trustee of stock or cash to be awarded under the Plan. Any liability of the Company to any Participant with respect to an Award shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created by the Plan; no such obligation of the Company shall be deemed secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Administrator shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation that may be created by this Plan.

 

 

 

 16 

 

 

26.          Annual Limit on Total Compensation paid to Non-Employee Directors. Any non-employee director can receive total compensation in any calendar year that in the aggregate does not exceed $500,000. Such total compensation limit includes all cash compensation such as annual retainers and other fees (whether or not granted under the Plan) plus the aggregate grant date fair market value (computed as of the Grant Date in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) of all Awards (or awards issued under any other incentive plan). For the avoidance of doubt, any compensation that is deferred shall be counted toward this total compensation limit in the calendar year in which the compensation is granted, and not in any later calendar year when it is paid to the non-employee director.

 

To record the Board’s amendment and restatement of the Prior Plan into this Plan on the Restatement Date, the Company has caused its duly authorized Officer to execute this Plan on behalf of the Company.

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 

1. The Plan and
Other Agreements

The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. You and the Company agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Plan.

 

This Agreement[, the Employment Agreement] and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this Option. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this Option are superseded.

     
2. Award of Incentive Stock Option

The Company awards you an Incentive Stock Option as shown on the cover sheet to this Agreement. This Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option under section 422 of the Code and will be interpreted accordingly.

 

If you cease to be an employee of the Company, a subsidiary corporation or of a parent corporation but continue to be a Service Provider, this Option will be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option on the day after the date that is three (3) months after you cease to be an employee of the Company (and any such subsidiary or any such parent): (i) even if you continue to be a Service Provider after your employment has terminated or (ii) if your termination of employment was for any reason other than due to your death or Disability. In addition, to the extent that all or part of this Option exceeds the $100,000 limitation rule of section 422(d) of the Code, this Option or the lesser excess part will be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

 

This Option is not intended to constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of section 409A of the Code and will be interpreted to comply with Code Section 409A.

     
3. Vesting

This Option will vest according to the Vesting Schedule on the attached cover sheet. This Option is only exercisable before it expires and only with respect to the vested portion of the Option.

     
4. Term

Your Option will expire in all cases no later than the close of business at Company headquarters on the Expiration Date, as shown on the cover sheet. Your Option will expire earlier if your service terminates, as described in Sections 5, 6 and 7 below or on the date on which the Option is cancelled (and not substituted or assumed) pursuant to a Change in Control or merger or acquisition or reorganization or similar transaction involving the Company. You are solely responsible for determining whether and when to exercise any vested portion of this Option and also for keeping track of when your Option expires and when it therefore can no longer be exercised. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company has no obligation (and does not intend) to provide you with any further notice of your Option’s expiration dates. The Company will have no liability to you or to any other person if all or any portion of your Option is not exercised before it expires for any reason.

 

If a sale of Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option within the applicable termination period set forth above would subject the Optionee to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, this Option shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (a) the tenth day following the date on which a sale of such Shares by the Optionee would no longer be subject to such suit, (b) the 190th day after the Optionee’s Termination Date, or (c) the Expiration Date.

 

If exercise of the Option on the last day of the applicable termination period set forth above is prevented by operation of the first paragraph of Section 14, then the vested portion of this Option shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (x) the 14th day after the first date that such paragraph in Section 14 no longer operates to prevent exercise of the Option or (y) the Expiration Date.

5. Termination of Service - General If, while the Option is outstanding, your Termination Date occurs for any reason, other than being terminated by the Company for Cause or due to a Qualifying Termination, then the unvested portion of your Option shall be forfeited without consideration and shall immediately expire on your Termination Date and the vested portion of your Option will expire at the earlier of (i) the close of business at Company headquarters on the date that is three (3) months after your Termination Date, (ii) the Expiration Date set forth in the attached cover sheet and further described in Section 4 above, or (iii) the date on which the Option is cancelled (and not substituted or assumed) pursuant to a Change in Control or merger or acquisition or reorganization or similar transaction involving the Company.  
     
6. Termination of Service for
Cause
If your Termination Date occurs because the Company terminated your service for Cause, then you shall immediately forfeit all rights to your Option without consideration, including any vested portion of the Option, and the entire Option shall immediately expire, and any rights, payments and benefits with respect to the Option shall be subject to reduction or recoupment in accordance with applicable Company policies and the Plan.  For avoidance of doubt, your Termination of Service shall also be deemed to have occurred because of a termination for Cause by the Company if, after your Termination Date, facts and circumstances are discovered that would have justified a termination for Cause, including, without limitation, your violation of Company policies or breach of confidentiality or other restrictive covenants or conditions that may apply to you prior to or after your Termination Date.
     
7. Termination of Service due to Qualifying Termination If your Termination Date occurs because of a Qualifying Termination, then your Option will expire at the earlier of (i) the close of business at Company headquarters on the date that is twelve (12) months after your Termination Date, (ii) the Expiration Date set forth in the attached cover sheet and further described in Section 4 above, or (iii) the date on which the Option is cancelled (and not substituted or assumed) pursuant to a Change in Control or merger or acquisition or reorganization or similar transaction involving the Company.  
     
8. Notice of Exercise

When you wish to exercise this Option, you must notify the Company by filing a “Notice of Exercise” form at the address given on the form. Your notice must specify how many Shares you wish to purchase. The notice can only become effective after it is received by the Company.

 

If someone else wants to exercise this Option after your death, that person must prove to the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so.

     
9. Form of Payment

When you submit your notice of exercise, you must include payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares you are purchasing. Payment may be made in one (or a combination) of the following forms:

 

·  Cash, check, or wire transfer

 

·     To the extent a public market for the Shares exists as determined by the Company, by Cashless Exercise through delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.

 

·        To the extent approved by the Administrator in its discretion and with all terms and conditions determined by the Administrator, payment may be made in another form of legal consideration acceptable to the Administrator.

     

 

 

 3 

 

 

10. Transfer of Option Prior to your death, only you may exercise this Option.  You cannot gift, transfer, assign, alienate, pledge, hypothecate, attach, sell, or encumber this Option.  If you attempt to do any of these things, this Option will immediately become invalid.  You may, however, dispose of this Option in your will or it may be transferred by the laws of descent and distribution.  Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to honor a notice of exercise from your spouse, nor is the Company obligated to recognize your spouse’s interest in your Option in any other way.
     
11. Leaves of Absence

For purposes of this Agreement, your status as a Service Provider does not terminate when you go on a bona fide leave of absence that was approved by the Company (or its parent, subsidiary or affiliate) in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued service crediting, or when continued service crediting is required by applicable law. Your status as a Service Provider terminates in any event when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to active service.

 

For income tax purposes, if the period of leave exceeds three (3) months and your right to reemployment is not provided either by statute or by contract, then this Option will be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option if the exercise of this Option occurs after the expiration of six (6) months from the commencement of such leave of absence.

 

The Company determines which leaves count for this purpose (along with determining the effect of a leave of absence on vesting of the Option), and when your status as a Service Provider terminates for all purposes under the Plan.

 

     
12. Stockholder Rights You, or your estate, shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with regard to the Option until you have been issued the applicable Shares by the Company and have satisfied all other conditions specified in the Plan.  No adjustment shall be made for cash or stock dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date when such applicable Shares are issued, except as may be provided in the Plan.
     
13. Taxes and Withholding

You will be solely responsible to bear the burden of any and all applicable taxes associated with this Option. You will be solely responsible for filing any and all tax returns for which you are obligated to file by any law or regulation. You agree to fully indemnify the Company or any of its Affiliates for any tax claim by any tax authority with respect to any event in relation to the obligations following from this agreement.

 

The delivery to you of any Shares will not be permitted unless and until any applicable tax withholding or other taxes that may be due are fully satisfied. Tax withholding obligations may arise before release of Shares to you and you must timely satisfy any such obligations as a condition of this Option. At the discretion of the Administrator and to the extent permitted by applicable laws, any such tax withholding obligations may be settled by the Company withholding and retaining a portion of the Shares from the Shares that would otherwise be deliverable to you and/or by Shares which have already been owned by you for more than six (6) months and which are surrendered to the Company and/or by delivery of a direction to a securities broker or other third party to sell Shares on the open market and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company (and such proceeds shall also need to pay for any broker commissions incurred on the sale of Shares). Such withheld or sold Shares will be applied to pay the withholding obligation (and broker commissions if applicable) by using the aggregate fair market value of the withheld or sold Shares as of the date of vesting. In any case you will be delivered only the net amount of vested Shares after the withholding/commissions obligation has been satisfied and you will not receive the withheld/sold Shares.

14. Restrictions on Exercise and Resale

The grant of this Option and the issuance of Shares upon exercise of this Option are subject to compliance with all Applicable Laws. This Option may not be exercised if the issuance of Shares upon exercise would constitute a violation of any Applicable Laws. In addition, this Option may not be exercised unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) is in effect at the time of exercise of this Option with respect to the Shares; or (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Optionee is cautioned that unless the foregoing conditions are satisfied, the Optionee may not be able to exercise the Option when desired even though the Option is vested. As a further condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may require the Optionee to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any Applicable Law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company. Any Shares that are issued will be “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and will bear an appropriate restrictive legend, unless they are registered under the Securities Act. The Company is under no obligation to register the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option.

 

By signing this Agreement, you agree not to (i) exercise this Option (“Exercise Prohibition”), or (ii) sell, transfer, dispose of, pledge, hypothecate, make any short sale of, or otherwise effect a similar transaction of any Shares acquired under this Option (each a “Sale Prohibition”) at a time when applicable laws, regulations or Company or underwriter trading policies prohibit the exercise or disposition of Shares. The Company will not permit you to exercise this Option if the issuance of Shares at that time would violate any law or regulation. The Company shall have the right to designate one or more periods of time, each of which generally will not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in length (provided however, that such period may be extended in connection with the Company’s release (or announcement of release) of earnings results or other material news or events), and to impose an Exercise Prohibition and/or Sale Prohibition, if the Company determines (in its sole discretion) that such limitation(s) is needed in connection with a public offering of Shares or to comply with an underwriter’s request or trading policy, or could in any way facilitate a lessening of any restriction on transfer pursuant to the Securities Act or any state securities laws with respect to any issuance of securities by the Company, facilitate the registration or qualification of any securities by the Company under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, or facilitate the perfection of any exemption from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws for the issuance or transfer of any securities. The Company may issue stop/transfer instructions and/or make notations with respect to any Shares issued in book entry form pursuant to this Option in order to ensure compliance with the foregoing. Any such Exercise Prohibition shall not alter the vesting schedule set forth in this Agreement other than to limit the periods during which this Option shall be exercisable.

 

If the sale of Shares acquired under this Option is not registered under the Securities Act, but an exemption is available which requires an investment representation or other representation and warranty, you shall represent and agree that the Shares being acquired are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations and warranties as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.

 

If you sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Option on or before the later of (i) the date that is two years after the Date of Option Grant or (ii) the date that is one year after the applicable exercise of this Option, then you shall within ten days of any and all such sales or dispositions provide the Company with written notice of such transactions including without limitation the date of each disposition, the number of Shares that you disposed of in each transaction and their original Date of Option Grant, and the amount of proceeds you received from each disposition.

16. Extraordinary Compensation This Option, and the Shares that may be released to you pursuant to this Option are not intended to constitute or replace any pension rights or compensation and are not to be considered compensation of a continuing or recurring nature, or part of your normal or expected compensation, and in no way represent any portion of your salary (if any), compensation or other remuneration for any purpose, including but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.
     
17. Legends

A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY AND WILL BE FURNISHED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY BY THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SHARES.”

     
   

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

     
18. Applicable Law This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to the conflicts of law provisions thereof.

20. Voluntary Participant You acknowledge that you are voluntarily participating in the Plan.
     
21. No Rights to Future Awards Your rights, if any, in respect of or in connection with this Option or any other Awards are derived solely from the discretionary decision of the Company to permit you to participate in the Plan and to benefit from a discretionary future Award.  By accepting this Option, you expressly acknowledge that there is no obligation on the part of the Company to continue the Plan and/or grant any additional Awards to you or benefits in lieu of other Awards even if Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past.  All decisions with respect to future Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Administrator.
     
22. Future Value The future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.  If the underlying Shares do not increase in value (or decrease in value) after the Date of Option Grant, the Option could have little or no value.

No Advice Regarding Award The Company has not provided any tax, legal or financial advice, nor has the Company made any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.  You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan or this Option.
     
24. No Right to Damages You will have no right to bring a claim or to receive damages if any portion of the Option is cancelled or expires.  The loss of existing or potential profit in the Option will not constitute an element of damages in the event of your Termination of Service for any reason, even if the termination is in violation of an obligation of the Company or a parent or a subsidiary or an affiliate to you.
     
25. Data Privacy You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this document by the Company for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.  You understand that the Company holds certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, cancelled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor for the purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan (“Data”).  You understand that the Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere and that the recipient country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country.  You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data, as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any Shares acquired under the Plan.

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 

NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 

1. The Plan and
Other Agreements

The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. You and the Company agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Plan.

 

This Agreement[, the Employment Agreement] and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this Option. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this Option are superseded.

     
2. Award of Nonstatutory Stock Option

The Company awards you a Nonstatutory Stock Option as shown on the cover sheet to this Agreement. This Option is not intended to be an Incentive Stock Option under section 422 of the Code and will be interpreted accordingly.

 

This Option is not intended to constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of section 409A of the Code and will be interpreted to comply with Code Section 409A.

     
3. Vesting

This Option will vest according to the Vesting Schedule on the attached cover sheet. This Option is only exercisable before it expires and only with respect to the vested portion of the Option.

     
4. Term

Your Option will expire in all cases no later than the close of business at Company headquarters on the Expiration Date, as shown on the cover sheet. Your Option will expire earlier if your service terminates, as described in Sections 5, 6 and 7 below or on the date on which the Option is cancelled (and not substituted or assumed) pursuant to a Change in Control or merger or acquisition or reorganization or similar transaction involving the Company. You are solely responsible for determining whether and when to exercise any vested portion of this Option and also for keeping track of when your Option expires and when it therefore can no longer be exercised. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company has no obligation (and does not intend) to provide you with any further notice of your Option’s expiration dates. The Company will have no liability to you or to any other person if all or any portion of your Option is not exercised before it expires for any reason.

 

If a sale of Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option within the applicable termination period set forth above would subject the Optionee to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, this Option shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (a) the tenth day following the date on which a sale of such Shares by the Optionee would no longer be subject to such suit, (b) the 190th day after the Optionee’s Termination Date, or (c) the Expiration Date.

 

If exercise of the Option on the last day of the applicable termination period set forth above is prevented by operation of the first paragraph of Section 14, then the vested portion of this Option shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (x) the 14th day after the first date that such paragraph in Section 14 no longer operates to prevent exercise of the Option or (y) the Expiration Date.

5. Termination of Service - General If, while the Option is outstanding, your Termination Date occurs for any reason, other than being terminated by the Company for Cause or due to a Qualifying Termination, then the unvested portion of your Option shall be forfeited without consideration and shall immediately expire on your Termination Date and the vested portion of your Option will expire at the earlier of (i) the close of business at Company headquarters on the date that is three (3) months after your Termination Date, (ii) the Expiration Date set forth in the attached cover sheet and further described in Section 4 above, or (iii) the date on which the Option is cancelled (and not substituted or assumed) pursuant to a Change in Control or merger or acquisition or reorganization or similar transaction involving the Company.  
     
6. Termination of Service for
Cause
If your Termination Date occurs because the Company terminated your service for Cause, then you shall immediately forfeit all rights to your Option without consideration, including any vested portion of the Option, and the entire Option shall immediately expire, and any rights, payments and benefits with respect to the Option shall be subject to reduction or recoupment in accordance with applicable Company policies and the Plan.  For avoidance of doubt, your Termination of Service shall also be deemed to have occurred because of a termination for Cause by the Company if, after your Termination Date, facts and circumstances are discovered that would have justified a termination for Cause, including, without limitation, your violation of Company policies or breach of confidentiality or other restrictive covenants or conditions that may apply to you prior to or after your Termination Date.
     
7. Termination of Service due to Qualifying Termination If your Termination Date occurs because of a Qualifying Termination, then your Option will expire at the earlier of (i) the close of business at Company headquarters on the date that is twelve (12) months after your Termination Date, (ii) the Expiration Date set forth in the attached cover sheet and further described in Section 4 above, or (iii) the date on which the Option is cancelled (and not substituted or assumed) pursuant to a Change in Control or merger or acquisition or reorganization or similar transaction involving the Company.  
     
8. Notice of Exercise

When you wish to exercise this Option, you must notify the Company by filing a “Notice of Exercise” form at the address given on the form. Your notice must specify how many Shares you wish to purchase. The notice can only become effective after it is received by the Company.

 

If someone else wants to exercise this Option after your death, that person must prove to the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so.

     
9. Form of Payment

When you submit your notice of exercise, you must include payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares you are purchasing. Payment may be made in one (or a combination) of the following forms:

 

· Cash, check, or wire transfer

 

· To the extent a public market for the Shares exists as determined by the Company, by Cashless Exercise through delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.

 

·        To the extent approved by the Administrator in its discretion and with all terms and conditions determined by the Administrator, payment may be made in another form of legal consideration acceptable to the Administrator.

10. Transfer of Option Prior to your death, only you may exercise this Option.  You cannot gift, transfer, assign, alienate, pledge, hypothecate, attach, sell, or encumber this Option.  If you attempt to do any of these things, this Option will immediately become invalid.  You may, however, dispose of this Option in your will or it may be transferred by the laws of descent and distribution.  Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to honor a notice of exercise from your spouse, nor is the Company obligated to recognize your spouse’s interest in your Option in any other way.
     
11. Leaves of Absence

For purposes of this Agreement, your status as a Service Provider does not terminate when you go on a bona fide leave of absence that was approved by the Company (or its parent, subsidiary or affiliate) in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued service crediting, or when continued service crediting is required by applicable law. Your status as a Service Provider terminates in any event when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to active service.

 

The Company determines which leaves count for this purpose (along with determining the effect of a leave of absence on vesting of the Option), and when your status as a Service Provider terminates for all purposes under the Plan.

     
12. Stockholder Rights You, or your estate, shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with regard to the Option until you have been issued the applicable Shares by the Company and have satisfied all other conditions specified in the Plan.  No adjustment shall be made for cash or stock dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date when such applicable Shares are issued, except as may be provided in the Plan.
     
13. Taxes and Withholding

You will be solely responsible to bear the burden of any and all applicable taxes associated with this Option. You will be solely responsible for filing any and all tax returns for which you are obligated to file by any law or regulation. You agree to fully indemnify the Company or any of its Affiliates for any tax claim by any tax authority with respect to any event in relation to the obligations following from this agreement.

 

The delivery to you of any Shares will not be permitted unless and until any applicable tax withholding or other taxes that may be due are fully satisfied. Tax withholding obligations may arise before release of Shares to you and you must timely satisfy any such obligations as a condition of this Option. At the discretion of the Administrator and to the extent permitted by applicable laws, any such tax withholding obligations may be settled by the Company withholding and retaining a portion of the Shares from the Shares that would otherwise be deliverable to you and/or by Shares which have already been owned by you for more than six (6) months and which are surrendered to the Company and/or by delivery of a direction to a securities broker or other third party to sell Shares on the open market and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company (and such proceeds shall also need to pay for any broker commissions incurred on the sale of Shares). Such withheld or sold Shares will be applied to pay the withholding obligation (and broker commissions if applicable) by using the aggregate fair market value of the withheld or sold Shares as of the date of vesting. In any case you will be delivered only the net amount of vested Shares after the withholding/commissions obligation has been satisfied and you will not receive the withheld/sold Shares.

14. Restrictions on Exercise and Resale

The grant of this Option and the issuance of Shares upon exercise of this Option are subject to compliance with all Applicable Laws. This Option may not be exercised if the issuance of Shares upon exercise would constitute a violation of any Applicable Laws. In addition, this Option may not be exercised unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) is in effect at the time of exercise of this Option with respect to the Shares; or (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Optionee is cautioned that unless the foregoing conditions are satisfied, the Optionee may not be able to exercise the Option when desired even though the Option is vested. As a further condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may require the Optionee to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any Applicable Law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company. Any Shares that are issued will be “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and will bear an appropriate restrictive legend, unless they are registered under the Securities Act. The Company is under no obligation to register the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option.

 

By signing this Agreement, you agree not to (i) exercise this Option (“Exercise Prohibition”), or (ii) sell, transfer, dispose of, pledge, hypothecate, make any short sale of, or otherwise effect a similar transaction of any Shares acquired under this Option (each a “Sale Prohibition”) at a time when applicable laws, regulations or Company or underwriter trading policies prohibit the exercise or disposition of Shares. The Company will not permit you to exercise this Option if the issuance of Shares at that time would violate any law or regulation. The Company shall have the right to designate one or more periods of time, each of which generally will not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in length (provided however, that such period may be extended in connection with the Company’s release (or announcement of release) of earnings results or other material news or events), and to impose an Exercise Prohibition and/or Sale Prohibition, if the Company determines (in its sole discretion) that such limitation(s) is needed in connection with a public offering of Shares or to comply with an underwriter’s request or trading policy, or could in any way facilitate a lessening of any restriction on transfer pursuant to the Securities Act or any state securities laws with respect to any issuance of securities by the Company, facilitate the registration or qualification of any securities by the Company under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, or facilitate the perfection of any exemption from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws for the issuance or transfer of any securities. The Company may issue stop/transfer instructions and/or make notations with respect to any Shares issued in book entry form pursuant to this Option in order to ensure compliance with the foregoing. Any such Exercise Prohibition shall not alter the vesting schedule set forth in this Agreement other than to limit the periods during which this Option shall be exercisable.

 

If the sale of Shares acquired under this Option is not registered under the Securities Act, but an exemption is available which requires an investment representation or other representation and warranty, you shall represent and agree that the Shares being acquired are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations and warranties as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.

 

If you sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Option on or before the later of (i) the date that is two years after the Date of Option Grant or (ii) the date that is one year after the applicable exercise of this Option, then you shall within ten days of any and all such sales or dispositions provide the Company with written notice of such transactions including without limitation the date of each disposition, the number of Shares that you disposed of in each transaction and their original Date of Option Grant, and the amount of proceeds you received from each disposition.

16. Extraordinary Compensation This Option, and the Shares that may be released to you pursuant to this Option are not intended to constitute or replace any pension rights or compensation and are not to be considered compensation of a continuing or recurring nature, or part of your normal or expected compensation, and in no way represent any portion of your salary (if any), compensation or other remuneration for any purpose, including but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.
     
17. Legends

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 

STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

 

The Plan and Other Agreements

The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by this reference. You and the Company agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Plan.

This Agreement, the Employment Agreement, and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this Award of Restricted Stock. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations are superseded.

   
Award of Restricted Stock

The Company awards you the number of Shares of Restricted Stock shown on the cover sheet of this Agreement.

This Award is not intended to constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of section 409A of the Code and will be interpreted to comply with Code Section 409A.

   
Vesting

This Award will vest according to the Vesting Schedule on the attached cover sheet.

 

Issuance of Shares

The Company shall issue the Shares of Restricted Stock in book entry form, registered in the name of the Awardee with notations referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the Award.

 

All regular cash or stock dividends, if any, on the Restricted Stock shall be held in escrow and shall be subject to the same vesting conditions provided in this Agreement.

 

When your interest in the Restricted Stock vests, the notations on such Shares held in book entry form shall be removed. Upon your Termination of Service for any reason prior to vesting and in which no vesting is provided upon such termination, any unvested Restricted Stock (and dividends) subject to this Agreement shall be immediately surrendered to the Company.

   
No Assignment The Shares subject to this Award shall not be sold, assigned, optioned, transferred, attached, garnished, or made subject to any creditor’s process, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law.  However, this shall not preclude a transfer of vested Shares by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  In addition, pursuant to Company procedures, you may designate a beneficiary who will receive any outstanding vested Shares in the event of your death.  Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to recognize your spouse’s interest in your Award in any way.
   
Code Section 83(b) Election You represent and warrant that you understand the Federal, state and local income tax consequences of the granting of this Restricted Stock.  Under Section 83 of the Code, the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Stock on the date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock lapse will be reportable as ordinary income at that time.  For this purpose, “forfeiture restrictions” include surrender to the Company of unvested Restricted Stock as described above.  You may voluntarily elect to be taxed at the time the Restricted Stock is acquired to the extent that the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Stock exceeds the amount of consideration paid by you (if any) for such Restricted Stock at that time rather than when such Restricted Stock ceases to be subject to such forfeiture restrictions, by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the Date of Award.  A form for making this election is attached as Exhibit A hereto.  Failure to make this filing within the thirty (30) day period will result in the recognition of ordinary income by you as the forfeiture restrictions lapse.  YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY’S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER CODE SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF YOU REQUEST THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON YOUR BEHALF.  MOREOVER, YOU ARE RELYING SOLELY ON YOUR OWN ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO FILE A CODE SECTION 83(b) ELECTION.

Leaves of Absence

For purposes of this Agreement, your status as a Service Provider does not terminate when you go on a bona fide leave of absence that was approved by the Company (or its parent, subsidiary or affiliate) in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued service crediting, or when continued service crediting is required by applicable law. Your status as a Service Provider terminates in any event when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to active service.

The Company determines which leaves count for this purpose (along with determining the effect of a leave of absence on vesting of the Award), and when your status as a Service Provider terminates for all purposes under the Plan.

   
Voting and Other Rights Subject to the terms of this Agreement, you shall have all the rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company while the Restricted Stock continues to be subject to vesting, including the right to vote and to receive dividends (if any).  
   

Taxes and Withholding

You will be solely responsible to bear the burden of any and all applicable taxes associated with this Award. You will be solely responsible for filing any and all tax returns for which you are obligated to file by any law or regulation. You agree to fully indemnify the Company or any of its Affiliates for any tax claim by any tax authority with respect to any event in relation to the obligations following from this Agreement.

 

The delivery to you of any Shares will not be permitted unless and until any applicable tax withholding or other taxes that may be due are fully satisfied. Tax withholding obligations may arise before release of Shares to you and you must timely satisfy any such obligations as a condition of this Award. At the discretion of the Administrator and to the extent permitted by applicable laws, any such tax withholding obligations may be settled by the Company withholding and retaining a portion of the Shares from the Shares that would otherwise be deliverable to you and/or by Shares which have already been owned by you for more than six (6) months and which are surrendered to the Company and/or by delivery of a direction to a securities broker or other third party to sell Shares on the open market and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company (and such proceeds shall also need to pay for any broker commissions incurred on the sale of Shares). Such withheld or sold Shares will be applied to pay the withholding obligation (and broker commissions if applicable) by using the aggregate fair market value of the withheld or sold Shares as of the date of vesting. In any case you will be delivered only the net amount of vested Shares after the withholding/commissions obligation has been satisfied and you will not receive the withheld/sold Shares.

 

Restrictions on Issuance and Resale

The Company will not issue any Shares if the issuance of such Shares at that time would violate any law or regulation.

 

By signing this Agreement, you agree not to sell, transfer, dispose of, pledge, hypothecate, make any short sale of, or otherwise effect a similar transaction of any Shares acquired under this Award (each a “Sale Prohibition”) at a time when applicable laws, regulations or Company or underwriter trading policies prohibit the exercise or disposition of Shares. The Company shall have the right to designate one or more periods of time, each of which generally will not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in length (provided however, that such period may be extended in connection with the Company’s release (or announcement of release) of earnings results or other material news or events), and to impose a Sale Prohibition, if the Company determines (in its sole discretion) that such limitation(s) is needed in connection with a public offering of Shares or to comply with an underwriter’s request or trading policy, or could in any way facilitate a lessening of any restriction on transfer pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities laws with respect to any issuance of securities by the Company, facilitate the registration or qualification of any securities by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities laws, or facilitate the perfection of any exemption from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 or any applicable state securities laws for the issuance or transfer of any securities. The Company may issue stop/transfer instructions and/or make appropriate notations with respect to any Restricted Stock issued in book entry form pursuant to this Award in order to ensure compliance with the foregoing.

 

If the sale of Shares acquired under this Award is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, but an exemption is available which requires an investment representation or other representation and warranty, you shall represent and agree that the Shares being acquired are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations and warranties as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

   
No Retention Rights

Your Award or this Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company (or any parent or any subsidiaries or affiliates) in any capacity. The Company (or any parent and any subsidiaries or affiliates) reserves the right to terminate your status as a Service Provider at any time and for any reason.

 

This Award, and the Shares that may be released to you pursuant to this Award are not intended to constitute or replace any pension rights or compensation and are not to be considered compensation of a continuing or recurring nature, or part of your normal or expected compensation, and in no way represent any portion of your salary (if any), compensation or other remuneration for any purpose, including but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

Vesting This Award will vest according to the Vesting Schedule on the attached cover sheet.
   
Settlement

The time of settlement for Stock Units that vest under this Award has been deferred in accordance with your voluntary Deferral Election that you provided the Company under the NDC Plan. To the extent a Stock Unit becomes vested and subject to your satisfaction of any tax withholding obligations as discussed below, each vested Stock Unit will entitle you to receive one Share which will be distributed to you (as provided on your Deferral Election in accordance with the NDC Plan) on the earliest of (i) your Separation From Service, (ii) a Change in Control, (iii) your death or Disability or (iv) _________ or within 30 days thereafter.

No Assignment The Stock Units subject to this Award shall not be sold, assigned, optioned, transferred, attached, garnished, or made subject to any creditor’s process, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law.  However, this shall not preclude a transfer of vested Shares that are issued in settlement of Stock Units by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  In addition, pursuant to Company procedures, you may designate a beneficiary who will receive any outstanding vested Shares in the event of your death.  Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to recognize your spouse’s interest in your Award in any way.
   
Leaves of Absence

For purposes of this Agreement, your status as a Service Provider does not terminate when you go on a bona fide leave of absence that was approved by the Company (or its parent, subsidiary or affiliate) in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued service crediting, or when continued service crediting is required by applicable law. Your status as a Service Provider terminates in any event when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to active service.

Voting and Other Rights

As a holder of Stock Units, you shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, a holder of outstanding Stock Units has none of the rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a holder of outstanding Stock Units has no right to vote or to receive dividends (if any) on the Shares represented by such Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Stock Units create no fiduciary duty of the Company to you and only represent an unfunded and unsecured contractual obligation of the Company. The Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind.

 

You, or your estate, shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with regard to the Award until you have been issued the applicable Shares by the Company and have satisfied all other conditions specified in the Plan. No adjustment shall be made for cash or stock dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date when such applicable Shares are issued.

   
Taxes and Withholding

You will be solely responsible to bear the burden of any and all applicable taxes associated with this Award. You will be solely responsible for filing any and all tax returns for which you are obligated to file by any law or regulation. You agree to fully indemnify the Company or any of its Affiliates for any tax claim by any tax authority with respect to any event in relation to the obligations following from this Agreement.

 

The delivery to you of any Shares will not be permitted unless and until any applicable tax withholding or other taxes that may be due are fully satisfied. Tax withholding obligations may arise before release of Shares to you and you must timely satisfy any such obligations as a condition of this Award.

Such withheld or sold Shares will be applied to pay the withholding obligation (and broker commissions if applicable) by using the aggregate fair market value of the withheld or sold Shares as of the date of settlement under the Deferral Election. In any case you will be delivered only the net amount of vested Shares after the withholding/commissions obligation has been satisfied and you will not receive the withheld/sold Shares.

   
Restrictions on Issuance and Resale

The Company will not issue any Shares if the issuance of such Shares at that time would violate any law or regulation.

 

By signing this Agreement, you agree not to sell, transfer, dispose of, pledge, hypothecate, make any short sale of, or otherwise effect a similar transaction of any Shares acquired under this Award (each a “Sale Prohibition”) at a time when applicable laws, regulations or Company or underwriter trading policies prohibit the exercise or disposition of Shares. The Company shall have the right to designate one or more periods of time, each of which generally will not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in length (provided however, that such period may be extended in connection with the Company’s release (or announcement of release) of earnings results or other material news or events), and to impose a Sale Prohibition, if the Company determines (in its sole discretion) that such limitation(s) is needed in connection with a public offering of Shares or to comply with an underwriter’s request or trading policy, or could in any way facilitate a lessening of any restriction on transfer pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities laws with respect to any issuance of securities by the Company, facilitate the registration or qualification of any securities by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities laws, or facilitate the perfection of any exemption from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 or any applicable state securities laws for the issuance or transfer of any securities. The Company may issue stop/transfer instructions and/or make appropriate notations with respect to any Shares issued in book entry form pursuant to this Award in order to ensure compliance with the foregoing.

 

If the sale of Shares acquired under this Award is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, but an exemption is available which requires an investment representation or other representation and warranty, you shall represent and agree that the Shares being acquired are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations and warranties as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.
