3.
Stock Subject to the Plan . Subject to the
provisions of Section 14 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate
number of Shares that may be awarded or optioned and delivered
under the Plan is 20,000,000 Shares, plus (a) any Shares which were
reserved but not issued under the Company’s 1993 Stock Option
Plan (the “1993 Plan”), and (b) any Shares returned to
the 1993 Plan as a result of termination of options granted under
the 1993 Plan; provided, however, that the maximum aggregate number
of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive
Stock Options shall in no event exceed 20,000,000
Shares. Any Shares that are subject to Options or Stock
Appreciation Rights shall be counted against this limit as one (1)
Share for every one (1) Share granted. Any Shares that
are subject to any Awards other than Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights or other Awards which Awardees pay full value for (as
determined on the date of the grant) shall be counted against this
limit as one and one half (1.5) Shares for every one (1) Share
granted. The Shares issued hereunder may be authorized,
but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock.
If an Award or Option expires, is
cancelled, forfeited or becomes unexercisable without having been
exercised in full or otherwise settled in full, or is settled in
cash, the undelivered Shares which were subject thereto shall,
unless the Plan has terminated, become available for future Awards
or Options under the Plan. To the extent permitted by
applicable law or any exchange rule, Shares issued in assumption
of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity
acquired in any form of combination by the Company or any
Subsidiary shall not be counted against Shares available for grant
pursuant to this Plan. The payment of Dividend
Equivalent rights in cash in conjunction with any outstanding
Awards shall not be counted against the Shares available for
issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the provisions
of this Section 3, no Shares may again be optioned, granted or
awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Stock Option to
fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of
the Code.
4.
Administration of the Plan .
(i)
Multiple Administrative Bodies . Different
Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers
may administer the Plan.
(ii)
Section 162(m) . To the extent that the
Administrator determines it to be desirable to qualify Awards or
Options granted hereunder as “qualified performance-based
compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of
the Code, the Plan shall be administered by a Committee of two or
more “outside directors” within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Code.
(iii)
Rule 16b-3 . To the extent desirable to qualify
transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3, the transactions
contemplated hereunder shall be structured to satisfy the
requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.
(iv)
Other Administration . Other than as provided
above, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a
Committee, which committee shall be constituted to satisfy
Applicable Laws.
(b)
Powers of the Administrator . Subject to the
provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to
the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the
Administrator shall have the authority, in its
discretion:
(i)
to select the Service Providers to whom Awards or
Options may be granted hereunder;
(ii) to
determine the number of shares of Common Stock or other amounts to
be covered by each Award or Option granted hereunder and to
determine the amount, if any, of cash payment to be made to an
Awardee;
(iii) to
approve forms of agreements for use under the Plan;
(iv) to
determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms
of the Plan, of any Award or Option granted
hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are
not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Options
may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), the
time or times when Awards vest (which may be based on performance
criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture
restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award
or Option or the shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based in
each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole
discretion, shall determine;
(v) to
construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted
pursuant to the Plan;
(vi) to
prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the
Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans
established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign
laws;
(vii) to
modify or amend each Award or Option (subject to Section 15(c)
of the Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend the
post-termination exercisability period of Options longer than is
otherwise provided for in the Plan; provided, however, that except
in connection with a corporate transaction involving the company
(including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split,
extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization,
merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange
of shares), the terms of outstanding awards may not be amended
to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options or
Stock Appreciation Rights or cancel outstanding Options or Stock
Appreciation Rights in exchange for other Awards or Options or
Stock Appreciation Rights with an exercise price that is
less than the exercise price of the original Options or Stock
Appreciation Rights, without the approval of the Company’s
shareholders; provided further, however, that the Administrator
shall not have the discretionary authority to accelerate or delay
issuance of Shares under an Option or Award that constitutes a
deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Code, except to the extent that such acceleration or delay may, in
the discretion of the Administrator, be effected in a manner that
will not cause any person to incur taxes, interest or penalties
under Section 409A of the Code;
(viii) to
allow Awardees or Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations
by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be
issued upon exercise of an Option or vesting of an Award that
number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum
amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of
the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the
amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All
elections by an Awardee or Optionee to have Shares withheld for
this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions
as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable;
(ix) to
authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any
instrument required to effect the grant of an Award or Option
previously granted by the Administrator; and
(x) to
make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for
administering the Plan.
(c)
Effect of Administrator’s Decision .
The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and
interpretations shall be final and binding on all Awardees and
Optionees and any other holders of Awards or Options.
5.
Eligibility . Nonstatutory Stock
Options and Awards may be granted to Service
Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only
to Employees of the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary of the
Company.
(a) Each
Option shall be designated in the Option 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 the Shares with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the
first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under all
plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds
$100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock
Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a),
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 time the Option with respect
to such Shares is granted.
(b) Neither
the Plan nor any Award or Option shall confer upon an Awardee or
Optionee any right with respect to continuing that
individual’s relationship as a Service Provider with the
Company, nor shall they interfere in any way with the
Awardee’s or Optionee’s right or the Company’s
right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without
cause.
(c) The
following limitations shall apply to grants of Awards and
Options:
(i)
No Service Provider shall be granted, in any fiscal
year of the Company, Options and Awards covering more than 600,000
Shares.
(ii) In
connection with his or her initial service, a Service Provider may
be granted Options and Awards covering an additional 900,000
Shares, which shall not count against the limit set forth in
subsection (i) above.
(iii) The
foregoing limitations shall be adjusted proportionately in
connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as
described in Section 14.
(iv) If
an Award or Option is cancelled in the same fiscal year of the
Company in which it was granted (other than in connection with a
transaction described in Section 14), the cancelled Option or Award
will be counted against the limits set forth in subsections (i) and
(ii) above.
7.
Stock Options . The Administrator is
authorized to make grants of Options to any Service Provider on the
terms stated below.
(a)
Term . The term of each Option shall be ten (10)
years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be
provided in the Option Agreement. However, 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 ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary,
the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from
the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the
Option Agreement.
(b)
Exercise Price . The per share 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 Incentive Stock Option
(A) granted
to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is
granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent
or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than
110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of
grant.
(B) granted
to any Employee other than an Employee described in paragraph (A)
immediately above, the per Share exercise price shall be no less
than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of
grant.
(ii) In
the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise
price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share
on the date of grant.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise
price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the
date of grant pursuant to a merger or consolidation of or by the
Company with or into another corporation, the purchase or
acquisition of property or stock by the Company of another
corporation, any spin-off or other distribution of stock or
property by the Company or another corporation, any reorganization
of the Company, or any partial or complete liquidation of the
Company, if such action by the Company or other corporation results
in a significant number of Employees being transferred to a new
employer or discharged, or in the creation or severance of the
Parent-Subsidiary relationship.
(c)
Waiting Period and Exercise Dates . At the time
an Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within
which the Option may be exercised and shall determine any
conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be
exercised.
(d)
Form of Consideration . The Administrator shall
determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an
Option, including the method of payment. In the case of
an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator shall determine the
acceptable form of consideration at the time of
grant. Such consideration may consist entirely
of:
(iv) other
Shares which, in the case of Shares acquired directly or indirectly
from the Company, have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender
equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which
said Option shall be exercised;
(v) consideration
received by the Company under a cashless exercise program approved
by the Company;
(vi) a
reduction in the amount of any Company liability to the Optionee,
including any liability attributable to the Optionee’s
participation in any Company-sponsored deferred compensation
program or arrangement;
(vii)
any combination of the foregoing methods of
payment; or
(viii) such
other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of
Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.
(e)
Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder
. 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
Option Agreement. Unless the Administrator provides
otherwise, vesting of Awards and Options granted hereunder shall be
suspended during any unpaid leave of absence to the extent
permitted under Applicable Laws. An Option may not be
exercised for a fraction of a Share.
An Option shall be deemed exercised when the
Company (or its designated agent) receives: (i) written or
electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option
Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option or such
person’s authorized agent, and (ii) full payment for the
Shares with respect to which the Option is
exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration
and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted
by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon
exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the
Optionee. 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 shareholder shall exist
with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of
the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be
issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is
exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or
other right for which the record date is prior to the date the
Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 14
of the Plan.
Exercising an Option in any manner shall
decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for
purposes of the Plan and for delivery under the Option, by the
number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.
(f)
Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider
. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, other
than upon the Optionee’s death or Disability, the Optionee
may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is
specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is
vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the
expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the
Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3)
months following the Optionee’s termination. If an
Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, for any reason, all
unvested Shares covered by his or her Option shall be
forfeited. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee
is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by
the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the
Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not
exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the
Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered
by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
(g)
Disability of Optionee . If an Optionee ceases to
be a Service Provider as a result of the Optionee’s
Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such
period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the
extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no
event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set
forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a
specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain
exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s
termination. If, on the date of termination, the
Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares
covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the
Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not
exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall
revert to the Plan.
(h)
Death of Optionee . If an Optionee dies while a
Service Provider or within thirty (30) days (or such longer period
of time not exceeding three (3) months as is determined by the
Administrator), the Option may be exercised following the
Optionee’s death within such period of time as is specified
in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on
the date of death (but in no event may the option be exercised
later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth
in the Option Agreement), by the personal representative of the
Optionee’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is
transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or in accordance
with the laws of descent and distribution. In the
absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option
shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the
Optionee’s death. If, at the time of death, the
Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares
covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately
revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised
within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and
the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the
Plan.
8.
Grant of Restricted Stock . The
Administrator is authorized to make Awards of Restricted Stock to
any Service Provider selected by the Administrator in such amounts
and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the
Administrator.
(a)
Purchase Price . At the time of the grant of an
Award of Restricted Stock, the Administrator shall determine the
price, if any, to be paid by the Awardee for each Share subject to
the Award of Restricted Stock. To the extent required by
Applicable Laws, the price to be paid by the Awardee for each Share
subject to the Award of Restricted Stock shall not be less than the
amount required by Applicable Laws (if any). The
purchase price of Shares (if any) acquired pursuant to the Award of
Restricted Stock shall be paid either: (i) in cash at the time of
purchase; (ii) at the sole discretion of the Administrator, by
services rendered or to be rendered to the Company or a Subsidiary
or Affiliate; or (iii) in any other form of legal consideration
that may be acceptable to the Administrator in its sole discretion
and in compliance with Applicable Laws.
(b)
Issuance and Restrictions . Restricted Stock
shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other
restrictions as the Administrator may impose (including, without
limitation, limitations on the right to vote Restricted Stock or
the right to receive dividends on the Restricted
Stock). These restrictions may lapse separately or in
combination at such times, pursuant to such circumstances, in such
installments, or otherwise, as the Administrator determines at the
time of the grant of the Award or thereafter.
(c)
Certificates for Restricted Stock . Restricted
Stock granted pursuant to the Plan may be evidenced in such manner
as the Administrator shall determine. If certificates
representing shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name
of the Awardee, certificates shall bear an appropriate legend
referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to
such Restricted Stock, and the Company may, at its discretion,
retain physical possession of the certificate until such time as
all applicable restrictions lapse.
9.
Restricted Stock Units
. The Administrator is authorized to make Awards of
Restricted Stock Units to any Service Provider selected by the
Committee in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions
as determined by the Administrator. At the time of
grant, the Administrator shall specify the date or dates on which
the Restricted Stock Units shall vest and become nonforfeitable,
and may specify such conditions to vesting as it deems
appropriate. On the vesting date, the Company shall
transfer to the Awardee one unrestricted, fully transferable Share
for each Restricted Stock Unit scheduled to be paid out on such
date and not previously forfeited. Alternatively,
settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit may be made in cash (in an
amount reflecting the Fair Market Value of Shares that would have
been issued) or any combination of cash and Shares, as determined
by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The
Administrator may authorize Dividend Equivalents to be paid on
outstanding Restricted Stock Units. If Dividend
Equivalents are authorized to be paid, they may be paid at the time
dividends are declared on the Shares or at the time the awards vest
and they may be paid in either cash or Shares, in the discretion of
the Administrator.
10.
Stock Appreciation Rights . The Administrator is
authorized to make Awards of Stock Appreciation Rights to any
Service Provider selected by the Administrator in such amounts and
subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the
Administrator.
(a)
Description . A Stock Appreciation Right shall
entitle the Awardee (or other person entitled to exercise the Stock
Appreciation Right pursuant to the Plan) to exercise all or a
specified portion of the Stock Appreciation Right (to the extent
then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the
Company an amount equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the
Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Stock Appreciation
Right is exercised over (B) the grant price of the Stock
Appreciation Right and (ii) the number of Shares with respect to
which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, subject to any
limitations the Administrator may impose.
(b)
Grant Price . The grant price per Share subject
to a Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the
Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that,
the per Share grant price for any Stock Appreciation Right shall
not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the
date of grant.
(c)
Payment and Limitations on Exercise .
(i)
Payment of the amounts determined
under Section 10(c) hereof shall be in cash, in Shares (based on
its Fair Market Value as of the date the Stock Appreciation Right
is exercised) or a combination of both, as determined by the
Administrator.
(ii) To
the extent any payment under Section 10(a) is effected in Shares,
it shall be made subject to satisfaction of all applicable
provisions of Section 7 pertaining to Options.
(d)
Term. The term of any Stock Appreciation Right shall
be no longer than ten (10) years from the date of grant.
11.
Performance-Based Awards for Covered Employees .
(a)
Purpose . The purpose of this Section 11 is to
provide the Administrator the ability to qualify Awards other than
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights as Qualified
Performance-Based Compensation as determined under Code Section
162(m). If the Administrator, in its discretion, decides
to grant a Performance-Based Award to a Covered Employee, the
provisions of this Section 11 shall control over any contrary
provision contained in this Plan; provided, however , that
the Administrator may in its discretion grant Awards to Covered
Employees that are based on Performance Criteria or Performance
Goals but that do not satisfy the requirements of this Section
11.
(b)
Applicability . This Section 11 shall apply only
to those Covered Employees selected by the Administrator to receive
Performance-Based Awards that are intended to qualify as Qualified
Performance-Based Compensation. The designation of a
Covered Employee as an Awardee for a Performance Period shall not
in any manner entitle the Awardee to receive an Award for the
period. Moreover, designation of a Covered Employee as
an for a particular Performance Period shall not require
designation of such Covered Employee as an Awardee in any
subsequent Performance Period and designation of one Covered
Employee as an Awardee shall not require designation of any other
Covered Employees as an Awardee in such period or in any other
period.
(c)
Procedures with Respect to Performance-Based Awards
. To the extent necessary to comply with the Qualified
Performance-Based Compensation requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C)
of the Code, with respect to any Award granted under this Plan
which may be granted to one or more Covered Employees, no later
than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any fiscal year
in question or any other designated fiscal period or period of
service (or such other time as may be required or permitted by
Section 162(m) of the Code), the Administrator shall, in writing,
(a) designate one or more Covered Employees, (b) select the
Performance Criteria applicable to the Performance Period, (c)
establish the Performance Goals, and amounts of such Awards, as
applicable, which may be earned for such Performance Period, and
(d) specify the relationship between Performance Criteria and the
Performance Goals and the amounts of such Awards, as applicable, to
be earned by each Covered Employee for such Performance
Period. Following the completion of each Performance
Period, the Committee shall certify in writing whether the
applicable Performance Goals have been achieved for such
Performance Period. In determining the amount earned by
a Covered Employee, the Administrator shall have the right to
reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable at a
given level of performance to take into account additional factors
that the Administrator may deem relevant to the assessment of
individual or corporate performance for the Performance
Period.
(d)
Payment of Performance-Based Awards . Unless
otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, an Awardee
must be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate on the
day a Performance-Based Award for the appropriate Performance
Period is paid to the Awardee. Furthermore, an Awardee
shall be eligible to receive payment pursuant to a
Performance-Based Award for a Performance Period only if the
Performance Goals for such period are achieved.
(e)
Additional Limitations . Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan, any Award which is granted to a
Covered Employee shall be subject to any additional limitations set
forth in Section 162(m) of the Code (including any amendment to
Section 162(m) of the Code) or any regulations or rulings issued
thereunder that are requirements for qualification as qualified
performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C)
of the Code, and the Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent
necessary to conform to such requirements.
12.
Other Awards . The Administrator is authorized
under the Plan to make any other Award to a Service Provider that
is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan and that by its
terms involves or might involve the issuance of (i) Shares, (ii) a
right with an exercise or conversion privilege related to the
passage of time, the occurrence of one or more events, or the
satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions, or (iii)
any other right with the value derived from the value of the
Shares. The Administrator may establish one or more
separate programs under the Plan for the purpose of issuing
particular forms of Awards to one or more classes of Awardees on
such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator from
time to time.
13.
General Provisions Applicable to All Awards .
(a)
Transferability of Awards and Options . Incentive
Stock Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by
the laws of descent or distribution and, may be exercised, during
the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the
Optionee. Unless determined otherwise by the
Administrator, an Award or Nonstatutory Stock Option may not be
sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of
in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or
distribution and may be exercised (if applicable), during the
lifetime of the Optionee or Awardee, only by the Optionee or
Awardee. If the Administrator makes an Award or
Nonstatutory Stock Option transferable, such Award or Nonstatutory
Stock Option shall contain such additional terms and conditions as
the Administrator deems appropriate.
(b)
Term . Except as otherwise provided herein, the
term of any Award or Option (to the extent applicable) shall be no
longer than ten (10) years from the date of grant.
(c)
Exercise and Vesting upon Termination of Employment or
Service . Unless otherwise set forth in the Award
Agreement, all unvested Awards will terminate effective upon
termination of employment or service for any
reason. Unless otherwise set forth in the Award
Agreement, in the case of Awards that have an exercise period (
e.g. , Stock Appreciation Rights), if the Awardee ceases to
be a Service Provider as a result of his or her death or
Disability, he or she (or his or her heirs or personal
representative of his or her estate in the case of death) will have
twelve (12) months after the date of termination to exercise
outstanding vested Awards or shorter period if the expiration date
for the Award is earlier. All Shares subject to unvested
Awards that terminate upon termination of service and all
unexercised Awards after expiration of the post termination will
revert to the Plan.
(d)
Form of Payment . Payments with respect to any
Awards granted under the Plan shall be made in cash, in Shares, or
a combination of both, as determined by the
Administrator.
(e)
Award Agreement . All Awards under this Plan
shall be subject to such additional terms and conditions as
determined by the Administrator and shall be evidenced by an Award
Agreement.
(f)
Date of Grant . The date of grant of an Award or
Option shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the
Administrator makes the determination granting such Award or
Option, or such other later date as is determined by the
Administrator in accordance with Applicable Laws. Notice
of the determination shall be provided to each Awardee and Optionee
within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.
(g)
Timing of Settlement . At the time of grant, the
Administrator shall specify the settlement date applicable to an
Award, which shall be no earlier than the vesting date(s)
applicable to the relevant Award and may be later than the vesting
date(s) to the extent and under the terms determined by the
Administrator.
(h)
Exercise or Purchase Price . The Administrator
may establish the exercise or purchase price (if any) of any Award
provided however that such price shall not be less than required by
Applicable Law.
(i)
Vesting Conditions . The
Administrator has the discretion to provide for vesting conditions
for Awards tied to performance conditions which do not satisfy the
requirements for Qualified Performance-Based Compensation as
determined under Code Section 162(m).
(j)
Dividend Equivalents
. The Administrator may determine at the time of grant
whether Awards (other than those Awards pursuant to which Shares
are issued at grant) will provide for Dividend Equivalent
rights.
14.
Adjustments; Dissolution; Merger or Change in Control
.
(a)
Adjustments . In the event that any dividend or
other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other
securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split,
reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation,
split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares
or other securities of the Company, or other change in the
corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the
Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the
benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under
the Plan, may (in its sole discretion) adjust the number and class
of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number,
class, and price of Shares covered by each outstanding Award and
Option and the numerical limits of Section 6. The
adjustments provided under this Section 14(a) shall be final and
binding on the affected Optionee or Awardee and the
Company.
(b)
Dissolution or Liquidation . In the event of the
proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the
Administrator shall notify each Awardee and Optionee as soon as
practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed
transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may
provide for an Optionee or Awardee to have the right to exercise
his or her Option or Award (if exercisable) until ten (10) days
prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned/Awarded Stock
covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Option or Award
would not otherwise be exercisable. The Administrator in
its discretion may provide that the vesting of an Award or Option
accelerate at any time prior to such transaction. To the
extent it has not been previously exercised, an Option or Award (if
exercisable) will terminate immediately prior to the consummation
of such proposed action, and unvested Awards will be forfeited
immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed
action.
(c)
Merger or Change in Control . In the event of a
merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or a Change
in Control, each outstanding Award and Option shall be assumed or
an equivalent award, option or right substituted by the successor
corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor
corporation. In the event the successor corporation does
not agree to assume the Award or Option, or substitute an
equivalent option or right, the Administrator shall, in lieu of
such assumption or substitution, provide for the Awardee or
Optionee to have the right to vest in and exercise the Option or
Award (if exercisable) as to all of the Optioned/Awarded Stock,
including Shares as to which the Option or Award) would not
otherwise be vested or exercisable, and in the case of an unvested
Award, to vest in the entire Award. If the Administrator
makes an Option or Award (if exercisable) fully vested and
exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a
merger or Change in Control, the Administrator shall notify the
Optionee or Awardee that the Option or Award shall be fully vested
and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of
such notice, and the Option or Award (if exercisable) will
terminate upon the expiration of such period. If, in
such a merger or Change in Control, the Award or Option is assumed
or an equivalent award or option or right is substituted by such
successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of such successor
corporation, and if during a one-year period after the effective
date of such merger or Change in Control, the Awardee’s or
Optionee’s status as a Service Provider is terminated for any
reason other than the Awardee’s or Optionee’s voluntary
termination of such relationship, then (i) in the case of an Option
or an Award (if exercisable), the Optionee or Awardee shall have
the right within three (3) months thereafter to exercise the Option
or Award (if exercisable) as to all of the Optioned/Awarded Stock,
including Shares as to which the Option or Award (if exercisable)
would not be otherwise exercisable, effective as of the date of
such termination and (ii) in the case of an unvested Award, the
Award shall be fully vested on the date of such
termination.
For the purposes of this subsection (c), the
Award or Option shall be considered assumed if, following the
merger or Change in Control, the option or right confers the right
to purchase or receive, for each Share of Awarded Stock subject to
the Award or each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option, in
each case, immediately prior to the merger or Change in Control,
the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or
property) received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of
Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the
transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration,
the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of
the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such
consideration received in the merger or Change in Control is not
solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the
Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation,
provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of
the Option or an Award (if exercisable), for each Share of Optioned
Stock subject to the Option and each Share of Awarded Stock subject
to the Award, and upon the vesting of an Award, for each Share of
Awarded Stock to be solely common stock of the successor
corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per
share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the
merger or Change in Control.
15.
Amendment and Termination of the Plan .
(a)
Amendment and Termination . The Board may at any
time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan. The
Board may not materially alter the Plan without shareholder
approval, including by increasing the benefits accrued to Awardees
or Optionees under the Plan; increasing the number of securities
which may be issued under the Plan; modifying the requirements for
participation in the Plan; or including a provision allowing the
Board to lapse or waive restrictions at its discretion.
(b)
Shareholder Approval . The Company shall obtain
shareholder approval of this Plan amendment to the extent necessary
and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws and paragraph (c)
below.
(c)
Effect of Amendment or Termination . No
amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan or any
Award or Option shall (i) impair the rights of any Awardee or
Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Awardee or
Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing
and signed by the Awardee or Optionee and the Company or (ii)
permit the reduction of the exercise price of an Option or Stock
Appreciation Right after it has been granted (except for
adjustments made pursuant to Section 14 of the Plan), unless
approved by the Company’s shareholders. Neither
may the Administrator, without the approval of the Company’s
shareholders, cancel any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation
Right and replace it with a new Option or Stock Appreciation Right
with a lower exercise price, where the economic effect would be the
same as reducing the exercise price of the cancelled Option or
Stock Appreciation Right. Termination of the Plan shall
not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers
granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards and Options granted
under the Plan prior to the date of such termination. Any increase
in the number of Shares subject to the Plan, other than pursuant to
Section 14 hereof, shall be approved by the Company’s
shareholders.
16.
Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares .
(a)
Legal Compliance . Shares shall not be issued
pursuant to the exercise of an Option or Award (if exercisable) or
the vesting of an Award unless the exercise of such Option or Award
and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with
Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of
counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
(b)
Investment Representations . As a condition to
the exercise of an Option or Award (if exercisable), the Company
may require the person exercising such Option or Award to represent
and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are
being purchased only for investment and without any present
intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of
counsel for the Company, such a representation is
required.
17.
Inability to Obtain Authority . The inability of
the Company 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, shall relieve the Company of any liability in
respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which
such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
18.
Reservation of Shares . The Company, during the
term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available
such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the
requirements of the Plan.
19.
Shareholder Approval; Effective Date; Plan Term for ISO
Grants . The Plan shall be subject to approval by
the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the
date the Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval
shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under
Applicable Laws. The Plan shall be effective as of the
date the Plan is approved by the Company’s shareholders (the
“Effective Date”). No Incentive Stock
Options may be granted under the Plan after the earlier or the
tenth (10 th
) anniversary of (a) the date the
Plan is approved by the Board or (b) the Effective Date.
20.
Governing Law . The Plan and all Award Agreements
shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of
the State of California.
21.
Section 409A . To the extent that the
Administrator determines that any Award or Option granted under the
Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement or
Option Agreement evidencing such Award or Option shall incorporate
the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the
Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award
Agreements and Option Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance
with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury
regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder,
including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance
that may be issued after the Effective
Date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the
contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the
Administrator determines that any Award or Option may be subject to
Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury
guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be
issued after the Effective Date), the Administrator may, without
consent of the Awardee or Optionee, adopt such amendments to the
Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or Option Agreement or
adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies
and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions,
that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to
(a) exempt the Award or Option from Section 409A of the Code and/or
preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with
respect to the Award or Option, or (b) comply with the requirements
of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury
guidance and thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes
under such Section.
22.
Tax Withholding . The Company or any Subsidiary
or Affiliate, as appropriate, shall have the authority and the
right to deduct or withhold, or require an to remit to the Company,
an amount sufficient to satisfy U.S. federal, state, and local
taxes and taxes imposed by jurisdictions outside of the United
States (including income tax, social insurance contributions,
payment on account and any other taxes that may be due) required by
law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning an
Optionee or Awardee arising as a result of this Plan or to take
such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company
or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, as appropriate, to satisfy
withholding obligations for the payment of taxes. The
Administrator may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the
foregoing requirement allow a participant to elect to have the
Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable under an Option or Award
(or allow the return of Shares) having a Fair Market Value equal to
the sums required to be withheld. No Shares shall be
delivered hereunder to any Optionee or Awardee or other person
until the Optionee or Awardee, or such other person has made
arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction
of these tax obligations with respect to any taxable event
concerning the Optionee or Awardee, or such other person arising as
a result of the Options or Awards made under this Plan.
23.
No Right to Employment or Services . Nothing in
the Plan or any Award Agreement or Option Agreement shall interfere
with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary
or Affiliate to terminate any Awardee’s or Optionee’s
employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any Awardee or
Optionee any right to continue in the employ or service of the
Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.
24.
Unfunded Status of Awards . The Plan is intended
to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive
compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made
to an Awardee pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan
or any Award Agreement shall give the Awardee any rights that are
greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate.
25.
No Representations or Covenants with respect to Tax
Qualification . Although the Company may endeavor to
(1) qualify an Award for favorable tax treatment under the laws of
the United States or jurisdictions outside of the United States (
e.g. , incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code
or French-qualified stock options) or (2) avoid adverse tax
treatment ( e.g. , under Sections 280G, 409A or 457A of the
Code), the Company makes no representation to that effect and
expressly disavows any covenant to maintain favorable or avoid
unfavorable tax treatment and any liability to any Optionee or
Awardee for failure to maintain favorable or avoid unfavorable tax
result. The Company shall be unconstrained in its
corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax
impact on Awardees or Optionees under the Plan.

This Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in
part, in accordance with the following schedule:
20% of the Shares subject to this Option shall
vest twelve months after the Vesting Commencement Date, and
1/60 th of the Shares subject to this Option shall vest
each month thereafter on the same day of the month as the Vesting
Commencement Date, such that 100% of the Shares subject to this
Option shall vest five (5) years from the Vesting Commencement
Date, subject to the Optionee continuing to be a Service Provider
on such dates.
This Option may be exercised for three (3)
months after the Optionee ceases to be a Service
Provider. Upon the death or Disability of the Optionee,
this Option may be exercised for twelve (12) months after the
Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider. In no event
shall this Option be exercised later than the Term/Expiration Date
as provided above.
The Administrator hereby grants to the person
named in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Notice of
Grant”) attached as Part I of this Option Agreement (the
“Optionee”) an option (the “Option”) to
purchase the number of Shares, as set forth in the Notice of Grant,
at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Grant
(the “Exercise Price”), subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by
reference. Subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan, in the
event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan
and the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, the terms
and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.
If designated in the Notice of Grant as an
Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”), this Option is intended
to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of
the Code. However, if this Option is intended to be an
Incentive Stock Option, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000
rule of Section 422(d) of the Code, it shall be treated as a
Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”).
1.
Right to Exercise . This Option is exercisable
during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in
the Notice of Grant and the applicable provisions of the Plan and
this Option Agreement.
2.
Method of Exercise . This Option is exercisable
by (i) electronic exercise in accordance with an approved automated
exercise program or (ii) delivery of an exercise notice, in the
form designated by the Company from time to time (the
“Exercise Notice”), which shall state the election to
exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the
Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and
such other representations and agreements as may be required by the
Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The
Exercise Notice shall be completed by the Optionee and delivered to
the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised
Shares. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon
receipt by the Company of the Exercise Price.
No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the
exercise of this Option unless such issuance and exercise complies
with Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for
income tax purposes, the Exercised Shares shall be considered
transferred to the Optionee on the date the Option is exercised
with respect to such Exercised Shares.
Payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a
combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:
3. consideration
received by the Company under a cashless exercise program
implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan;
or
4. surrender of
other Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of
surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised
Shares.
D.
Non-Transferability of Option .
This Option may not be transferred in any manner
otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution
and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by
the Optionee. The terms of the Plan and this Option
Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators,
heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.
This Option may be exercised only within the
term set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during
such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this
Option Agreement.
1.
Withholding Taxes . Regardless of any action the
Company and/or the Optionee’s actual employer, if the Company
is not the Optionee’s employer (collectively, the
“Company”), takes with respect to any or all income
tax, social security, payroll tax, payment on account or other
tax-related items related to the Optionee’s participation in
the Plan and legally applicable to him or her (“Tax-Related
Items”), the Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate
liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the
Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually
withheld by the Company. The Optionee further
acknowledges that the Company (i) makes no representations or
undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in
connection with any aspect of this Option, including, without
limitation, the grant, vesting or exercise of this Option, the
issuance of Shares upon exercise of this Option, the subsequent
sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt
of any dividends; and (ii) does not commit to and is under no
obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the
Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for
Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax
result. Furthermore, if the Optionee has become subject
to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and
the date of any relevant taxable event, the Optionee acknowledges
that the Company may be required to withhold or account for
Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding
event, as applicable, the Optionee will pay or make adequate
arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related
Items. In this regard, the Optionee authorizes the
Company, or its agents, at its discretion, to satisfy the
obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a
combination of the following:
(a) withholding from the
Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the
Optionee by the Company; or
(b) withholding from proceeds of the
sale of Exercised Shares acquired upon exercise, either through a
voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company
(on the Optionee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization);
or
(c) withholding in the Exercised
Shares to be issued upon exercise of this Option.
To avoid negative accounting treatment, the
Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by
considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or
other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation
for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, the
Optionee is deemed, for tax purposes, to have been issued the full
number of Exercised Shares, notwithstanding that some Shares are
held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items
due as a result of any aspect of the Optionee’s participation
in the Plan.
Finally, the Optionee shall pay to the Company
any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to
withhold or account for as a result of the Optionee’s
participation in the Plan, which amount cannot be satisfied by the
means previously described. The Company may refuse to
issue or deliver Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if
the Optionee fails to comply with his or her obligations in
connection with the Tax-Related Items.
2.
Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares
. If the Option granted to the Optionee herein is an
ISO, and if the Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the
Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of
(1) the date two years after the Date of Grant, or
(2) the date one year after the date of exercise, the Optionee
shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such
disposition.
G. NO
GUARANTEE OF CONTINUED SERVICE .
THE OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE
VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED
ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY
OR THE EMPLOYER, IF THE COMPANY IS NOT THE OPTIONEE’S
EMPLOYER (AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED AN
OPTION OR PURCHASING SHARES HEREUNDER). THE OPTIONEE
FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET
FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF
CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD,
FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH THE
OPTIONEE’S RIGHT OR THE EMPLOYER’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE
THE OPTIONEE'S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH
OR WITHOUT CAUSE, IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LOCAL
LAW.
H. Nature
of Option Grant .
In accepting this Option, the Optionee
acknowledges the following:
1. the Plan
is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in
nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the
Company at any time;
2. the grant
of this Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any
contractual or other right to receive future stock options, or
benefits in lieu of stock options, even if stock options have been
granted repeatedly in the past;
3. all
decisions with respect to future stock option grants, if any, will
be at the sole discretion of the Company;
4. the
Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right
to further employment with the Company or any Affiliate and shall
not interfere with the ability of the Company or an Affiliate, as
applicable, to terminate the Optionee’s Service Provider
relationship at any time;
5. the
Optionee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;
6. this
Option and the Optioned Stock are an extraordinary item that does
not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind
rendered to the Company, and which is outside the scope of the
Optionee’s employment contract, if any;
7. this
Option and the Optioned Stock are not intended to replace any
pension rights or compensation;
8. this
Option and the Optioned Stock are not part of normal or expected
compensation or salary for any purposes, including, without
limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination,
redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or
similar payments and in no event should be considered as
compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the
Company or any Affiliate;
9. this
Option and the Optionee’s participation in the Plan will not
be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with
the Company or any Affiliate;
10. the future value of
the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with any
certainty;
11. if the Optioned Stock
does not increase in value, this Option will have no
value;
12. if the Optionee
exercises this Option and obtains Shares, the value of the Shares
acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even
below the Exercise Price;
13. in consideration of
this Option, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages
shall arise from forfeiture of this Option if the Optionee ceases
to be a Service Provider (for any reason whatsoever and whether or
not in breach of local labor laws), and the Optionee irrevocably
releases the Company and any Affiliate from any such claim that may
arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found
by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, the Optionee
shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement
to pursue such claim;
14. in the event that the
Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider (whether or not in breach
of local labor laws), the Optionee’s right, if any, to vest
in this Option will terminate effective as of the date on which the
Optionee is no longer an active Service Provider and will not be
extended by any notice period mandated under Applicable Laws; the
Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when
the Optionee is no longer an active Service Provider for purposes
of this Option; and
15. this Option and the
benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to
another company in the case of a merger, takeover or transfer of
liability.
