Administration of the Plan.
(i)
Administration with Respect to Officers and Directors. With
respect to Awards to Employees who are also officers or directors
of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by a Committee
designated by the Board to administer the Plan, which Committee
shall be constituted in such a manner as to permit the Plan to
comply with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act with respect to a
plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary plan. With
respect to Awards to Non-Employee Directors, the Plan shall be
administered by the Board in accordance with Rule 16b-3,
provided that no Non-Employee Director shall vote on any decision
affecting his individual benefits under the Plan. Once appointed,
such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity
until otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time, the Board
may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional
members thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint
new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies however caused
and remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly
administer the Plan, all to the extent permitted by Rule 16b-3 with
respect to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary
plan.
4
(ii)
Multiple Administrative Bodies. If permitted by
Rule 16b-3, the Plan may be administered by different bodies
with respect to directors, non-director officers and Employees who
are neither directors nor officers.
(iii)
Administration with Respect to Consultants and Other
Employees. With respect to Awards to Employees or Consultants
who are neither directors nor officers of the Company, the Plan
shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee
designated by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted in
such a manner as to satisfy the legal requirements relating to the
administration of incentive stock option plans, if any, and of
Delaware corporate law, the Code and federal securities laws. Once
appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated
capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time,
the Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint
additional members thereof, remove members (with or without cause)
and appoint new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies
however caused and remove all members of the Committee and
thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to the extent
permitted by applicable laws.
(b)
Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of
the Plan and, in the case of a Committee, the specific duties
delegated by the Board to the Committee, the Administrator shall
have the authority, in its sole discretion:
(i) to
determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock in accordance
with Section 2(m) of the Plan;
(ii) to
select the Employees, Non-Employee Directors and Consultants to
whom Awards may from time to time be granted under the
Plan;
(iii) to
determine whether and to what extent Incentive Stock Options,
Nonstatutory Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, or any
combination thereof, are granted under the Plan;
(iv) to
determine the number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted
under the Plan;
(v) to
approve forms of Grant Agreements for use under the
Plan;
(vi) to
determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted under the
Plan (including, but not limited to, the exercise price and method,
form of settlement, vesting period and acceleration of vesting and
forfeiture restrictions and waiver of forfeiture restrictions,
based in each case on such factors as the Administrator shall in
its sole discretion determine), which terms and conditions shall be
set forth in a Grant Agreement approved by the
Administrator;
(vii) to
amend any of the terms and conditions of any Award granted under
the Plan and its associated Grant Agreement during the period of
12 months following the date of the grant of such Award;
provided , however , that no such amendment shall
(a) change the exercise price of such Award, (b) change
the number of Shares covered by such Award, (c) change the
initial vesting schedule of such Award or (d) change the term
of such Award; and
(viii) with
respect to any Employee or Consultant who is resident outside the
United States, to amend or vary the terms of the Plan in order to
conform such terms with the requirements of local law, to take
advantage of preferential provisions under local law, or to meet
the objectives
5
of the Plan,
establish administrative rules and procedures to facilitate the
operation of the Plan in any non-U.S. jurisdiction and establish
one or more sub-plans for these purposes.
The
Administrator shall not have the authority under the preceding
clauses (vi) or (vii) to make any determination or to
take any action with respect to an Award that (A) if such
determination or action were implemented through an amendment to
the Plan, would constitute a “material revision” of the
Plan under the Rules of the New York Stock Exchange, or
(B) would otherwise require approval of the stockholders of
the Company.
(c) No
Repricing Without Stockholder Approval. Other than in
connection with a change provided in Section 14, the exercise
price of an Incentive Stock Option, Nonstatutory Stock Option, or
Stock Appreciation Right shall not be reduced without stockholder
approval. Further, no Incentive Stock Option, Nonstatutory Stock
Option, or Stock Appreciation Right shall be cancelled and then
replaced with an Incentive Stock Option, Nonstatutory Stock Option,
or Stock Appreciation Right that has a lower exercise price. The
standard for determining whether any Incentive Stock Option,
Nonstatutory Stock Option, or Stock Appreciation Right is cancelled
and replaced with an Incentive Stock Option, Nonstatutory Stock
Option, or Stock Appreciation Right that has a lower exercise price
shall be same standard as that applied under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004),
“Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)” (as
may be amended or modified and any subsequent accounting
pronouncement replacing SFAS 123(R)), such that if an Incentive
Stock Option, Nonstatutory Stock Option, or Stock Appreciation
Right would be considered to have been cancelled and replaced under
SFAS 123(R), then such cancellation and replacement shall not be
permitted under the Plan.
(a) Nonstatutory
Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to
Employees, Consultants or Non-Employee Directors. Incentive Stock
Options may be granted only to Employees. An Employee, Consultant
or Non-Employee Director who has been granted Awards under the Plan
may, if such individual is otherwise eligible, be granted
additional Awards under the Plan.
(b) Each
Option shall be designated in the Grant Agreement as either an
Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However,
notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate
Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to which Options
designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first
time by an Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of
the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000 (whether
due to acceleration of exercisability, miscalculation or error),
such excess shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. In the
event that only a portion of the Options granted at the same time
can be applied to the $100,000 limit, the Company shall issue
separate share certificates (or book entry shares) for such number
of Shares as does not exceed the $100,000 limit and shall designate
such Shares as Incentive Stock Option Shares in its Share transfer
records.
(c) For
purposes of Section 5(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be
taken into account in the order in which they are granted, and the
Fair Market Value of Shares shall be determined as of the time the
Options with respect to such Shares are granted.
6
6. Term
of Plan. Subject to any applicable law, the Plan shall continue
in effect until terminated pursuant to Section 17, provided,
however, that no Incentive Stock Options or other Awards shall be
granted under the Plan following the expiration of 10 years
from the date the Plan is adopted, or the date the Plan is approved
by the Company’s stockholders, whichever is
earlier.
7. Term
of Options. The term of each Option shall be the term stated in
the Grant Agreement, provided, however, that no Option granted
under the Plan shall be exercisable after the expiration of
10 years from the date such Option is granted or such shorter
period as may be provided in the Grant Agreement. In the case of an
Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the
Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more
than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the
Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercisable after the
expiration of five years from the date such Option is granted or
such shorter period
