INTERNAP NETWORK SERVICES CORPORATION

1999 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN FOR NON-OFFICERS

 

 

(Originally adopted on June 28, 1999 as the CO SPACE Stock Incentive Plan, amended on December 22, 1999, January 11, 2000, and March 30, 2000 and assumed by InterNap Network Services Corporation in connection with the Merger Agreement dated May 26, 2000. Amended and Restated as the InterNAP Network Services Corporation 1999 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN FOR NON-OFFICERS on September 20, 2000)

 

1.      PURPOSE.  This 1999 Stock Incentive Plan For Non-Officers (the "Plan") is intended to provide incentives: (a) to non-officer employees and consultants of InterNAP Network Services Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and any present or future parent or subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, "Related Corporations") by providing them with opportunities to purchase stock in the Company pursuant to Non-Qualified Stock Options ("NSOs") that do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and (b) to non-officer employees and consultants of the Company and Related Corporations by providing them with opportunities to receive awards of stock in the Company whether such stock awards are in the form of bonus shares, deferred stock awards, or of performance share awards (the "Awards"), and (c) to non-officer employees and consultants of the Company and Related Corporations by providing them with opportunities to make direct purchases of restricted stock in the Company ("Restricted Stock Purchases"). Non-Qualified Options are referred to hereafter as "Option." Options, Awards and authorizations to make Restricted Stock Purchases are referred to hereafter individually as a "Stock Right" and collectively as "Stock Rights." Documents evidencing the award of Stock Rights may be referred to collectively as "Stock Rights Agreements." As used herein, the terms "parent" and "subsidiary" mean "parent corporation" and "subsidiary corporation", respectively, as those terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code.

 

2.      ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

 

A.      BOARD OR COMMITTEE ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"). The Board may appoint a Compensation Committee or a Stock Incentive Plan Committee (as the case may be, the "Committee") of two (2) or more of its members to administer the Plan and to grant Stock Rights hereunder, provided such Committee is delegated such powers in accordance with state law. (All references in this Plan to the "Committee" shall mean the Board if no such Compensation Committee or Stock Incentive Plan Committee has been so appointed).

 

B.      AUTHORITY OF BOARD OR COMMITTEE. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority to: (i) determine the employees of the Company and Related Corporations to whom Options may be granted; (ii) determine the time or times at which Options or Awards may be granted or Restricted Stock Purchases made; (iii) determine the exercise price of shares subject to each Option, which price shall not be less than the minimum price specified in paragraph 6, and the purchase price of shares subject to each Restricted Stock Purchase or Award; (iv) determine (subject to paragraph 7) the time or times when each Option shall become exercisable and the duration of the exercise period; (v) determine whether restrictions such as repurchase options are to be imposed on shares subject to Options, Awards and Restricted Stock Purchases and the nature of such restrictions, if any; (vi) impose such other terms and conditions with respect to capital stock issued pursuant to Stock Rights not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan as it deems necessary or desirable; and (vii) interpret the Plan and prescribe and rescind rules and regulations relating to it.

 

1


 

The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provisions of the Plan or of any Stock Right granted under it shall be final unless otherwise determined by the Board. The Committee may from time to time adopt such rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan as it may deem best. No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Stock Right granted under it.

 

C.      DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY TO GRANT AWARDS TO OFFICER. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board, in its discretion, may also delegate to a single officer of the Company who is a member of the Board (to the extent consistent with state law) all or part of the Board's or Committee's authority and duties with respect to the granting of Stock Rights to individuals. Such officer (the "Delegated Officer") shall act as a one member committee of the Board, and shall in any event be subject to the same limitations as are applicable to the Committee. References to the Committee in this Plan shall also include the Delegated Officer, but only to the extent consistent with the authorities and duties delegated to the Delegated Officer by the Board. The Board may revoke or amend the terms of a delegation at any time but such action shall not invalidate any prior actions of the Delegated Officer that were consistent with the terms of the Plan.

 

D.      COMMITTEE ACTIONS. The Committee may select one of its members as its chairman and shall hold meetings at such time and places as it may determine. Acts by a majority of the Committee, acting at a meeting (whether held in person or by teleconference), or acts reduced to or approved in writing by all of the members of the Committee, shall be the valid acts of the Committee. 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 therefore, fill vacancies however caused, or remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, subject to compliance with paragraph 2A.

 

3.      ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES AND OTHERS. Stock Rights may be granted to any employee, consultant or advisor of the Company or any Related Corporation. However, notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, no person shall be eligible for a Stock Right under the Plan (i) who holds a position of vice president or higher of the Company or Related Corporations, (ii) who would be considered an "officer" or " director" within the meaning of those terms under Rule 4460(i)(1)(A) of the National Association of Securities Dealers Manual (or such amended or successor rule), (iii) who would be considered a person subject to Section 16b of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and regulations promulgated thereunder), or (iv) whose eligibility would require approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company under any law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Common Stock may then be listed. If not inconsistent with any such law, regulation or rule, a Stock Right may be granted to a person, not previously employed by the Company or a Related Corporation, as an inducement essential to entering into an employment contract with the Company or a Related Corporation.

The Committee may take into consideration a recipient's individual circumstances in determining whether to grant a Stock Right. Granting a Stock Right to any individual or entity shall neither entitle that individual or entity to, nor disqualify him from, participation in any other grant of Stock Rights.

 

4.      STOCK. The stock subject to Stock Rights shall be the common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock"), or shares of Common Stock reacquired by the Company in any manner. The aggregate number of shares which may be issued pursuant to the Plan is 1,346,840, subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 13.

 

5.      GRANTING OF STOCK RIGHTS. Stock Rights may be granted under the Plan at any time after June 29, 1999 and prior to June 28, 2009. The date of grant of a Stock Right under the Plan will be the date specified by the Committee at the time it grants the Stock Right or such date that is specified in the instrument or agreement evidencing such Stock Right; provided, however, that such date shall not be prior to the date on which the Committee acts to approve the grant.

 

6.      MINIMUM OPTION PRICE.

 

A.     PRICE FOR INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS.  Incentive Stock Options shall not be granted under this Plan.

 

B.      DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE. "Fair Market Value" shall be determined as of the last business day for which the prices or quotes discussed in this sentence are available prior to the date such Option is granted and shall mean (i) the average (on that date) of the high and low prices of the Common Stock on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded, if the Common Stock is then traded on a national securities exchange; or (ii) the last reported sale price (on that date) of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ National Market List, if the Common Stock is not then traded on a national securities exchange; or (iii) the closing bid price (or average of bid prices) last quoted (on that date) by an established quotation service for over-the-counter securities, if the Common Stock is not then traded on a national securities exchange and is not reported on the NASDAQ National Market List.

 

7.      OPTION DURATION. Subject to earlier termination as provided in

paragraphs 9, 10, and 13, each Option shall expire on the date specified by or shall have such duration as may be specified by the Committee and set forth in the original stock option agreement granting such Option, but not more than ten years from the date of grant. Options shall expire on the date specified in the agreement granting such Options, subject to extension as determined by the Committee.

 

8.      EXERCISE OF OPTION. Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 9 through 13, each Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable as follows:

 

A.      VESTING. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee, Options granted to employees shall vest in accordance with the following schedule: (a) as to 25% of the shares subject to the Option, on the first anniversary of the date of grant of the Option; and (b) as to the remaining 75% of the shares subject to the Option, in 36 equal monthly installments (such monthly vesting dates shall commence one months following such first annual anniversary on the exact day of the month as the date of such first annual anniversary, and continue at one month intervals thereafter, except with respect to any month that does not have such date, in which case the date in such month shall be the last day of such month). The Committee may also specify such other conditions precedent as it deems appropriate to the exercise of an Option.

B.      FULL VESTING OF INSTALLMENTS. Once an installment becomes exercisable it shall remain exercisable until expiration or termination of the Option, unless otherwise specified by the Committee.

 

C.      PARTIAL EXERCISE. Each Option or installment may be exercised at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, for up to the total number of shares with respect to which it is then exercisable, provided that the Committee may specify a certain minimum number or percentage of the shares issuable upon exercise of any Option that must be purchased upon any exercise.

 

D.      ACCELERATION OF VESTING. The Committee shall have the right to accelerate the date of exercise of any installment of any Option, despite the fact that such acceleration may cause the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code if a Change in Control Event, as defined below in paragraph 13C, occurs.

 

9.      TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any grantee of any Stock Right the right to be retained in employment or other service by the Company or any Related Corporation for any period of time.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph 9 to the contrary, the Board or Committee may establish rules in particular stock option agreements with respect to Misconduct, committed by a grantee of a Stock Right. Misconduct shall have the same meaning as the term Cause, as defined below.

 

In the event that grantee's Service terminates (other than upon death or Disability or for Cause), the grantee may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the grantee was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months following the termination of the grantee's Service, or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option. If, after termination, the grantee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Option, the Option shall terminate. In the event an grantee's Service terminates for Cause, then his or her Option shall terminate immediately upon such event.

 

10.     DEATH; DISABILITY.

 

A.     DEATH.  If an optionee ceases to be employed by the Company and all Related Corporations by reason of his death, or if the employee dies within the thirty (30) day period after the employee ceases to be employed by the Company and all Related Corporations, any Option of his may be exercised, to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which he could have exercised it on the date of his death, by his estate, personal representative or beneficiary who has acquired the Option by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, at any time prior to the earlier of the specified expiration date of the Option or one hundred and eighty (180) days from thedate of such optionee's death.
