Item 6.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that the Company:

(a)

may indemnify a director or officer who, by reason of the fact that they are a director or officer, was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in the settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner the director or officer reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the director or officer's conduct was unlawful;



II-1



(b)

may indemnify a director or officer who, by reason of the fact that they are a director or officer, was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner the director or officer reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such director or officer shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that such director or officer is nonetheless fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity; and

(c)

must indemnify, to the extent that director or officer of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action or proceeding referred to in (a) or (b), against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such director or officer in connection therewith.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law further provides that the Company shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any director or officer against any liability incurred by any director or officer in their capacity as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such director or officer against such liability.

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that a director of the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damage for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that the Company may eliminate director liability to the Company or its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty, except: (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends, or for unlawful stock purchases or redemptions; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 9.

Undertakings.

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) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent 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) will 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 Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the 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.

(4)

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 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.

(5)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 whe ther such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

RE:

Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:


We have acted as counsel to Parlux Fragrances, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Such Registration Statement relates to the registration by the Company of 500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) that may be issued pursuant to the Company’s Employee Stock Option Plan – 2000 and 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Company's 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (each a “Plan”).

In connection with the Registration Statement, we have examined, considered and relied upon copies of such documents and instruments that we have deemed necessary for the expression of the opinions contained herein. In our examination of these documents, we have assumed, without independent investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all individuals who have executed any of the documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the original documents of all copies. Based upon the foregoing examination, we are of the opinion that the shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Plan to which such shares relate, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company.

The opinion expressed herein is limited to the federal securities laws of the United States of America and the corporate laws of the State of Delaware and we express no opinion as to the effect on the matters covered of the laws of any other jurisdiction. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.


 

 

Very truly yours,

EX-10.1 3 ex101.htm EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN - 2006 United States Securities & Exchange Commission EDGAR Filing

EXHIBIT 10.1


PARLUX FRAGRANCES, INC.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN - 2000


Section 1

Purpose

-------


The purpose of this Parlux Fragrances, Inc. Employee Stock Option Plan - 2000 (the "Plan") is to increase shareholder value and to advance the interests of Parlux Fragrances, Inc. and any subsidiary thereof (the "Company") by awarding equity incentives designed to attract, retain and motivate employees who are not officers or directors of the Company.


Section 2

Administration

--------------


2.1. Administration by Board. The authority to manage and control the operation and administration of the Plan shall be vested in the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"). Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange, the Board may, in its sole discretion, delegate any or all responsibilities and powers reserved to it under the terms of the Plan to a committee (the "Committee"). Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Board at any time.


2.2. Authority. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall have the authority to (a) manage and control the operation of the Plan, (b) interpret and construe the provisions of the Plan, and prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, (c) make awards under the Plan, in such amounts and subject to such terms, restrictions, limitations and conditions as it deems appropriate, (d) determine the type of awards, (e) prescribe the form of agreement, certificate or other instrument evidencing any award under the Plan, (f) correct any defect or omission and reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any award hereunder, and (g) make all other determinations and take all other actions as it deems necessary or desirable for the implementation and administration of the Plan, and (h) subject to the restrictions imposed by Section 6.7, cancel or suspend awards. Any interpretation of the Plan by the Board (or the Committee, if applicable) and any decision mad e by the Board (or the Committee, if applicable) on any matter within its discretion is final and binding on all persons. No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made with respect to the Plan.


Section 3

Shares Subject to the Plan

--------------------------


3.1. Number of Shares Reserved. Subject to adjustment in accordance with subsection 3.2, the number of shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock") with respect to which options may be granted under the Plan shall not exceed 250,000 shares in the aggregate. Such shares may be either authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or a combination thereof, as the Board may determine. The number of shares related to awards that are forfeited, surrendered, terminated or canceled or are not delivered because the award is settled in cash or used to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligation shall again be available for additional awards under the Plan unless the Plan shall have terminated.


3.2. Adjustments to Number of Shares. Subject to the following provisions of this subsection 3.2, in the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, split, spin-off, recapitalization or other similar change, the type and number of shares of stock which are or may be subject to awards under the Plan and the terms and the number of outstanding awards (including the number of shares and price at which shares of stock may be issued pursuant to an outstanding award) shall be equitably adjusted by the Board in its discretion to the extent the Board determines that such adjustment is necessary to preserve the benefit of the award for the Participant and the Company.




Section 4

Participation

-------------


Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, employees of the Company who are not officers or directors of the Company shall be eligible to receive awards under the Plan ("Participants").


Section 5

Stock Options

-------------

5.1. Award of Stock Options. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Board shall determine the number, type and terms of the options to be awarded to each Participant under the Plan. Any option granted under this Plan may be either an incentive stock option (an "ISO") or a non-qualified option (an "NQO"), as determined in the discretion of the Board. An ISO is an option that is intended to satisfy the requirements applicable to an "incentive stock option" described in section 422(b) of the Code. An "NQO" is an option that is not intended to be an "incentive stock option" as that term is described in section 422(b) of the Code. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of grant) of shares of Common Stock with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during the calendar year under all plans of the Company exceeds $100,000, the options o r portions thereof which exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as NQOs. It should be understood that there is no assurance that an option designated as an ISO will, in fact, be treated as an ISO. In the event that an option is designated as an ISO does not qualify as an "incentive stock option" under section 422(b) of the Code, then the option shall be deemed to be a NQO. Subject to subsection 3.2, the number of ISOs that may be awarded under the Plan is 250,000. Subject to subsection 3.2, the maximum number of shares that may be covered by options granted to any one individual under the Plan shall be 100,000 shares during any one calendar-year period.

5.2. Option Price. The exercise price per share for any option awarded under the Plan shall be determined by the Board, but in no event shall the exercise price be less than the fair market value (as determined by the Board) of a share of Common Stock on the date the option is awarded; provided that, with respect to ISOs granted to Participants who own more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or its parent, in no event shall the exercise price be less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the fair market value (as determined by the Board) of a share of Common Stock on the date the option is awarded.

5.3. Option Expiration Date. All rights to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to an option shall cease as of the date, if any, established by the Board at the time of the award, but in no event later than the date which is ten years after the date on which the option is awarded (the "Expiration Date"). Unless provided otherwise by the Board, if the employment of a Participant terminates for any reason, his non-vested options shall terminate and his vested options shall be exercisable no later than the earlier of the date which is 90 days after the Participant's termination of employment, or the option's Expiration Date.

5.4. Vesting. Unless determined otherwise by the Board at the time an option is awarded, each option awarded under the Plan shall become exercisable with respect to 1/4 of the shares subject to option on the first anniversary of the award date, with respect to 1/2 of the shares subject to option on the second anniversary of the award date and with respect to all of the shares subject to option on the third anniversary of the award date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Board may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of an option awarded under the Plan.

5.5. Manner of Exercise.

(a) An option may be exercised by a Participant (or, in the event of his death, by the person or persons to whom that right passes by will or by the laws of descent and distribution) as to all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock then exercisable under such option by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Company  at the principal executive offices of the Company prior to the option's Expiration Date; provided, however, that an option may only be exercised with respect to whole shares of Common Stock.  Such notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased and shall be accompanied by payment of the option price for such shares in such form and manner as the Committee may from time to time approve. The Option Price shall be payable in cash or by tendering, by either actual delivery of shares or by attestation, shares of stock acceptable to the Board, and valued at fair market value as of the day of exercise, or in any combination thereof, as determined by the Board.




(b) Notwithstanding paragraph 5.5(a), a Participant may elect to pay the purchase price upon the exercise of an option through the following cashless exercise procedures: The Participant shall notify the Secretary of the Company of the intent to exercise.  Written instructions will then be prepared and delivered to the Company and the broker indicating the Participant's cashless exercise election and instructing the Company to deliver to the           broker the Common Stock issuable upon exercise. The exercise of the option will be executed on the same day that the broker is able to sell the Common Stock. The broker will then withhold from the sale proceeds and deliver to the Company an amount, in cash, equal to the option exercise price. An additional amount for federal and state tax withholdings may also be withheld and delivered to the Company at the Participant's election.


5.6. Settlement of Options. The obligation to make payments and distributions with respect to options may be satisfied through cash payments, the delivery of shares of Common Stock or combination thereof as the Board shall determine. Satisfaction of any such obligations under an option, which is sometimes referred to as "settlement" of the option, may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Board shall determine.


Section 6

General

-------


6.1. Effective Date and Duration. Subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company at the Company's 2000 annual meeting of its shareholders, the Plan shall be effective as of June 7, 2000 (the "Effective Date"), provided, however, that to the extent that options are granted under the Plan prior to its approval by shareholders, the options shall be contingent on approval of the Plan by the shareholders of the Company at such annual meeting. The Plan shall remain in effect until all awards made under the Plan have been satisfied by the issuance of shares of Common Stock or the payment of cash, or have terminated in accordance with the terms of the Plan or the award, provided however, that no options may be granted under the Plan after the ten-year anniversary of the Effective Date.


6.2. Agreements Evidencing Awards. At the time of an award, the Board may require a Participant to enter into an agreement with the Company in a form specified by the Board agreeing to the terms and conditions of the Plan and to such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Board may in its discretion prescribe.


6.3. Non-transferability. Except as may be otherwise permitted by the Board, no award under the Plan may be transferred, pledged or assigned by the holder thereof (except, in the event of the holder's death, by will or the laws of descent and distribution), and the Company shall not be required to recognize any attempted assignment of such rights by any Participant. During a Participant's lifetime, awards may be exercised only by him or by his guardian or legal representative.


6.4. Compliance with Applicable Law and Withholding.


(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to issue any shares of Common Stock under the Plan if such issuance would violate any applicable law or any applicable regulation or requirement of any securities exchange or similar entity.


(b) Prior to the issuance of any shares of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company may require a written statement that the recipient is acquiring the shares for investment and not for the purpose or with the intention of distributing the shares and will not dispose of them in violation of the registration requirements of Securities Act of 1933.


(c) If, at any time, the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that the listing, registration or qualification (or any updating of any such document) of any type of award, or the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant thereto, is necessary on any securities exchange or under any federal or state securities or blue sky law, or that the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, any award, the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to any award, or the removal of any restrictions imposed on shares subject to an award, such award shall not be made and the shares of Common Stock shall not be issued or such restrictions shall not be removed, as the case may be, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company.





(d) The Company shall collect as a condition of the exercise of any option under the Plan any taxes required by law to be withheld. To the extent permitted by the Board, a Participant may elect to have any shares otherwise issuable under the Plan to be withheld or to surrender to the Company shares of Common Stock already owned by the Participant, and acceptable to the Board (or Committee) to fulfill any tax withholding obligation.


6.5. No Continued Employment. The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and participation in the Plan will not give any Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan or the terms of any award under the Plan.


6.6. Shareholder Status. No award to a Participant under the Plan shall create any rights in such Participant as a shareholder of the Company until shares of Common Stock are registered in the name of the Participant.


6.7. Amendment of the Plan. Subject to any approval of the shareholders of the Company which may be required under applicable law, the Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any award outstanding under the Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment, suspension or termination shall materially impair the rights of any Participant with respect to any award previously made under the Plan without the consent of the holder thereof.

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Committee may provide, in its sole and absolute discretion, that following the termination of employment or other service of a Participant with the Company for any reason (i) any unvested Options held by the Participant that vest solely upon a future service requirement shall vest in whole or in part, at any time subsequent to such termination of employment or other service, and or (ii) a Participant or the Participant’s estate, devisee or heir at law (whichever is applicable), may exercise an Option, i n whole or in part, at any time subsequent to such termination of employment or other service and prior to the termination of the Option pursuant to its terms. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, temporary absence from employment because of illness, vacation, approved leaves of absence or military service shall not constitute a termination of employment or other service.


(i)

Termination for Reason Other Than Cause, Disability or Death. If a Participant’s termination of employment or other service is for any reason other than death, Disability, Cause, or a voluntary termination within thirty (30) days after occurrence of an event which would be grounds for termination of employment or other service by the Company for Cause, any Option held by such Participant, may be exercised, to the extent exercisable at termination, by the Participant at any time within a period not to exceed thirty (30) days from the date of such termination, but in no event after the termination of the Option pursuant to its terms.


(ii)

Disability. If a Participant’s termination of employment or other service with the Company is by reason of a Disability of such Participant, the Participant shall have the right at any time within a period not to exceed one (1) year after such termination, but in no event after the termination of the Option pursuant to its terms, to exercise, in whole or in part, any vested portion of the Option held by such Participant at the date of such termination; provided, however, that if the Participant dies within such period, any vested Option held by such Participant upon death shall be exercisable by the Participant’s estate, devisee or heir at law (whichever is applicable) for a period not to exceed one (1) year after the Participant’s death, but in no event after the termination of the Option pursuant to its terms.


(iii)

Death. If a Participant dies while in the employment or other service of the Company, the Participant’s estate or the devisee named in the Participant’s valid last will and testament or the Participant’s heir at law who inherits the Option has the right, at any time within a period not to exceed one (1) year after the date of such Participant’s death, but in no event after the termination of the Option pursuant to its terms, to exercise, in whole or in part, any portion of the vested Option held by such Participant at the date of such Participant’s death.


(iv)

Termination for Cause. In the event the termination is for Cause or is a voluntary termination within ninety (90) days after occurrence of an event which would be grounds for termination of employment or other service by the Company for Cause (without regard to any notice or cure period requirement), any Option held by the Participant at the time of such termination shall be deemed to have terminated and expired upon the date of such termination.

Notwithstanding this paragraph, all grants of Restricted Stock that vest solely upon the attainment of Performance Goals shall be treated pursuant to the terms and conditions that would have been applicable under Section 9(c) as if such grants of Restricted Stock were Awards of Performance Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Committee may provide, in its sole and absolute discretion, that following the termination of employment or other service of a Participant with the Company for any reason, any unvested sha res of Restricted Stock held by the Participant that vest solely upon a future service requirement shall vest in whole or in part, at any time subsequent to such termination of employment or other service.

15.

REQUIREMENTS OF LAW


(a)

Violations of Law. The Company shall not be required to sell or issue any shares of Common Stock under any Award if the sale or issuance of such shares would constitute a violation by the individual exercising the Award, the Participant or the Company of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation any provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and any other federal or state securities laws or regulations. Any determination in this connection by the Committee shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of an Award, the issuance of shares pursuant thereto or the grant of an Award to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority.





(b)

Registration. At the time of any exercise or receipt of any Award, the Company may, if it shall determine it necessary or desirable for any reason, require the Participant (or Participant’s heirs, legatees or legal representative, as the case may be), as a condition to the exercise or grant thereof, to deliver to the Company a written representation of present intention to hold the shares for their own account as an investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of such shares, except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws with respect thereto. In the event such representation is required to be delivered, an appropriate legend may be placed upon each certificate delivered to the Participant (or Participant’s heirs, legatees or legal representative, as the case may be) upon the Participant’s exercise of part or all of the Award or receipt of an Award and a stop transfer order may be plac ed with the transfer agent. Each Award shall also be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Company determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject to the Award upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of the shares thereunder, the Award may not be exercised in whole or in part and the restrictions on an Award may not be removed unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion. The Participant shall provide the Company with any certificates, representations and information that the Company requests and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company in obtaining any listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval that the Company de ems necessary or appropriate. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercisability or vesting of an Award, to cause the exercise of an Award or the issuance of shares pursuant thereto, or to cause the grant of Award to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority.


(c)

Withholding for Taxes; Set-Off for Debt. Whenever the Company proposes or is required to issue or transfer shares of Common Stock to a Participant under the Plan, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate or certificates for such shares. If such certificates have been delivered prior to the time a withholding obligation arises, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state or local withholding tax requirements at the time such obligation arises and to withhold from other amounts payable to the Participant, as compensation or otherwise, as necessary. Whenever payments under the Plan are to be made to a Participant in cash, such payments shall be net of any amounts sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and local withholding tax requirements. In lieu of requiring a Participant to make a payment to the Company in an amount related to the withholding tax requirement, the Committee may, in its discretion, provide that at the Participant’s election, the tax withholding obligation shall be satisfied by the Company’s withholding a portion of the shares otherwise distributable to the Participant, such shares being valued at their fair market value at the date of exercise, or by the Participant’s delivering to the Company a portion of the shares previously delivered by the Company, such shares being valued at their fair market value as of the date of delivery of such shares by the Participant to the Company.


In addition, the Company shall have the right of set-off for debt to the Company (Employee Debt) incurred by a Participant whose employment has terminated but who exercises options subject to the Plan. In such instance, the Company may withhold payment or portion of the shares otherwise distributable to the Participant, such shares being valued at their fair market value at the date of the exercise, in an amount equal to such Employee Debt (which may include, but is not limited to, amounts owed the Company for breaches of any security agreement, relocation expense agreement or other indebtedness).


(d)

Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.


16.

GENERAL PROVISIONS


(a)

Award Agreements. All Awards granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Award Agreement shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award granted and shall contain any additional provisions, as the Committee shall deem appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion (including, to the extent that the Committee deems appropriate, provisions relating to confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and similar matters). The terms of each Award Agreement need not be identical for Eligible Individuals provided that all Award Agreements comply with the terms of the Plan.





(b)

Purchase Price. To the extent the purchase price of any Award granted hereunder is less than par value of a share of Common Stock and such purchase price is not permitted by applicable law, the per share purchase price shall be deemed to be equal to the par value of a share of Common Stock.


(c)

Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. Except as provided by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion or as otherwise provided in Sections 6(d), 9(e) and 10 of the Plan, a Participant shall not be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred basis, cash or stock dividends, Dividend Equivalents, or cash payments in amounts equivalent to cash or stock dividends on shares of Commons Stock covered by an Award which has not vested or an Option. The Committee in its absolute and sole discretion may credit a Participant’s Award with Dividend Equivalents with respect to any Awards. To the extent that dividends and distributions relating to an Award are held in escrow by the Company, or Dividend Equivalents are credited to an Award, a Participant shall not be entitled to any interest on any such amounts. The Committee may not grant Dividend Equivalents to an Award subject to performance-based vesting to the extent that the grant of such Dividend Equivalents would limit the Company’s deduction of the compensation payable under such Award for federal tax purposes pursuant to Code Section 162(m).


(d)

Deferral of Awards. The Committee may from time to time establish procedures pursuant to which a Participant may elect to defer, until a time or times later than the vesting of an Award, receipt of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock or cash subject to such Award and to receive Common Stock or cash at such later time or times, all on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. The Committee shall not permit the deferral of an Award unless counsel for Parlux determines that such action will not result in adverse tax consequences to a Participant under Section 409A of the Code. If any such deferrals are permitted, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Participant who elects to defer receipt of Common Stock shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to deferred shares of Common Stock unless and until shares of Common Stock are actually delivered to the Participant with respect thereto, except to the ext ent otherwise determined by the Committee.


(e)

Prospective Employees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any Award granted to a Prospective Employee shall not become vested prior to the date the Prospective Employee first becomes an employee of the Company.


(f)

Issuance of Certificates; Shareholder’s Rights. Parlux shall deliver to the Participant a certificate evidencing the Participant’s ownership of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award as soon as administratively practicable after satisfaction of all conditions relating to the issuance of such shares. A Participant shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to such Common Stock prior to satisfaction of all conditions relating to the issuance of such Common Stock, and, except as expressly provided in the Plan, no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights of any kind for which the record date is prior to the date on which all such conditions have been satisfied.


(g)

Transferability of Awards. A Participant may not Transfer an Award other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Awards may be exercised during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant. No Award shall be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, or liabilities of any Participant, nor shall any Award be subject to legal process or attachment for or against such person. Any purported Transfer of an Award in contravention of the provisions of the Plan shall have no force or effect and shall be null and void, and the purported transferee of such Award shall not acquire any rights with respect to such Award. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Committee may in its sole and absolute discretion permit the Transfer of an Award to a Participant’s “family member” as such term is defined in the Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under such terms and conditions as specified by the Committee. In such case, such Award shall be exercisable only by the transferee approved of by the Committee. To the extent that the Committee permits the Transfer of an Incentive Stock Option to a “family member”, so that such Option fails to continue to satisfy the requirements of an incentive stock option under the Code such Option shall automatically be re-designated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.





(h)

Buyout and Settlement Provisions. Except as prohibited in Section 7(d) of the Plan, the Committee may at any time on behalf of Parlux offer to buy out any Awards previously granted based on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine which shall be communicated to the Participants at the time such offer is made.


(i)

Use of Proceeds. The proceeds received by Parlux from the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan shall constitute general funds of Parlux.


(j)

Modification or Substitution of an Award. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee may modify outstanding Awards. Notwithstanding the following, no modification of an Award shall adversely affect any rights or obligations of the Participant under the applicable Award Agreement without the Participant’s consent. The Committee in its sole and absolute discretion may rescind, modify, or waive any vesting requirements or other conditions applicable to an Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the approval of the shareholders of Parlux, an Award may not be modified to reduce the exercise price thereof nor may an Award at a lower price be substituted for a surrender of an Award, provided that (i) the foregoing shall not apply to adjustments or substitutions in accordance with Section 6 or Section 13, and (ii) if an Award is modified, extended or renewed and thereby deemed to be in issuance of a new Award under the Code or th e applicable accounting rules, the exercise price of such Award may continue to be the original Exercise Price even if less than Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time of such modification, extension or renewal.


(k)

Amendment and Termination of Plan. The Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan as to any shares of Common Stock as to which Awards have not been granted; provided, however, that the approval of the shareholders of Parlux in accordance with applicable law and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Parlux shall be required for any amendment: (i) that changes the class of individuals eligible to receive Awards under the Plan; (ii) that increases the maximum number of shares of Common Stock in the aggregate that may be subject to Awards that are granted under the Plan (except as permitted under Section 5 or Section 13 hereof); (iii) the approval of which is necessary to comply with federal or state law (including without limitation Section 162(m) of the Code and Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act) or with the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock may be list ed or traded; or (iv) that proposed to eliminate a requirement provided herein that the shareholders of Parlux must approve an action to be undertaken under the Plan. Except as permitted under Section 5 or Section 13 hereof, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the holder of an Award, alter or impair rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan. Awards granted prior to the termination of the Plan may extend beyond the date the Plan is terminated and shall continue subject to the terms of the Plan as in effect on the date the Plan is terminated.


(l)

Section 409A of the Code. With respect to Awards subject to Section 409A of the Code, this Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of such Section, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted in a manner that satisfies the requirements of such Section and the related regulations, and the Plan shall be operated accordingly. If any provision of this Plan or any term or condition of any Award would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, the provision, term or condition will be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid this conflict.


(m)

Notification of 83(b) Election. If in connection with the grant of any Award any Participant makes an election permitted under Code Section 83(b), such Participant must notify the Company in writing of such election within ten (10) days of filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service.





(n)

Detrimental Activity. All Awards shall be subject to cancellation by the Committee in accordance with the terms of this Section 16(n) if the Participant engages in any Detrimental Activity. To the extent that a Participant engages in any Detrimental Activity at any time prior to, or during the one year period after, any exercise or vesting of an Award but prior to a Change in Control, the Company shall, upon the recommendation of the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, be entitled to (i) immediately terminate and cancel any Awards held by the Participant that have not yet been exercised, and/or (ii) with respect to Awards of the Participant that have been previously exercised, recover from the Participant at any time within two (2) years after such exercise but prior to a Change in Control (and the Participant shall be obligated to pay over to the Company with respect to any such Award previously held by such Participant): (A) with respect to any Opt ions exercised, an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock for which any Option was exercised over the Exercise Price paid (regardless of the form by which payment was made) with respect to such Option; (B) with respect to any Award other than an Option, any shares of Common Stock granted and vested pursuant to such Award, and if such shares are not still owned by the Participant, the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date they were issued, or if later, the date all vesting restrictions were satisfied; and (C) any cash or other property (other than Common Stock) received by the Participant from the Company pursuant to an Award. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Participant engages in any Detrimental Activity at any time prior to any exercise of an Award and the Company exercises its remedies pursuant to this Section 16(n) following the exercise of such Award, such exercise shall be treated as having been null and void, provided that th e Company will nevertheless be entitled to recover the amounts referenced above.


(o)

Disclaimer of Rights. No provision in the Plan, any Award granted or any Award Agreement entered into pursuant to the Plan shall be construed to confer upon any individual the right to remain in the employ of or other service with the Company or to interfere in any way with the right and authority of the Company either to increase or decrease the compensation of any individual, including any holder of an Award, at any time, or to terminate any employment or other relationship between any individual and the Company. The grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or limit in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.


(p)

Unfunded Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments as to which a Participant has a fixed and vested interest but which are not yet made to such Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.


(q)

Nonexclusivity of Plan. The adoption of the Plan shall not be construed as creating any limitations upon the right and authority of the Board to adopt such other incentive compensation arrangements (which arrangements may be applicable either generally to a class or classes of individuals or specifically to a particular individual or individuals) as the Board in its discretion determines desirable.


(r)

Other Benefits. No Award payment under the Plan shall be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits under any retirement plan of the Company or any agreement between a Participant and the Company, nor affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of the Company now or subsequently in effect under which benefits are based upon a Participant’s level of compensation.


(s)

Headings. The section headings in the Plan are for convenience only; they form no part of this Agreement and shall not affect its interpretation.


(t)

Pronouns. The use of any gender in the Plan shall be deemed to include all genders, and the use of the singular shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa, wherever it appears appropriate from the context.


(u)

Successors and Assigns. The Plan shall be binding on all successors of the Company and all successors and permitted assigns of a Participant, including, but not limited to, a Participant’s estate, devisee, or heir at law.





(v)

Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any jurisdiction, the remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall remain enforceable in any other jurisdiction.


(w)

Notices. Any communication or notice required or permitted to be given under the Plan shall be in writing, and mailed by registered or certified mail or delivered by hand, to Parlux, to its principal place of business, attention: Chief Financial Officer, and if to the holder of an Award, to the address as appearing on the records of the Company.
