Amended and Restated
1999 Non-Employee
Directors’ Stock
Option Plan
Restricted Stock Award
Agreement
For Non-U.S.
Directors
Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award Grant Notice (the
“Grant Notice” ) and this Restricted
Stock Award Agreement (the “Award
Agreement” ), including any appendix for your country
(the “Appendix” ), Chordiant Software,
Inc. (the “Company” ) has awarded you,
pursuant to its 1999 Amended and Restated Non-Employee
Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the
“Plan” ), the Award as indicated in the
Grant Notice. Unless otherwise defined herein or in the
Grant Notice, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth
in the Plan.
The details of your Award, in addition to those set forth in the
Grant Notice and the Plan, are as follows.
1.
Entitlement to Shares.
(a)
Award . The Award shall be as set forth in the
Grant Notice. By signing the Grant Notice, you hereby
agree to acquire from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to
issue to you, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
specified in your Grant Notice for the consideration set forth in
Section 1(c) below, and subject to all of the terms and conditions
of this Award Agreement and the Plan. You may not
acquire less than the aggregate number of shares specified in the
Grant Notice.
(b)
Closing . You will acquire the shares by
delivering your Grant Notice, executed by you in the manner
required by the Company, to the Corporate Secretary of the Company,
or to such other person as the Company may designate, during
regular business hours, on the date that you have executed the
Grant Notice (or at such other time and place as you and the
Company may mutually agree upon in writing) (such date, not later
than thirty (30) days following the Grant Date, the “
Closing Date ”) along with any consideration,
other than your services, if any, required to be delivered by you
by law on the Closing Date and such additional documents as the
Company may then require. The Company will direct the
transfer agent for the Company to deliver to Escrow Agent (as
defined in Section 8 below) pursuant to the terms of Section 8
below, the certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of
Common Stock being acquired by you. You acknowledge and
agree that any such shares may be held in book entry form directly
registered with the transfer agent or in such other form as the
Company may determine.
(c)
Consideration . Unless otherwise required by law,
the shares of Common Stock to be delivered to you on the Closing
Date shall be deemed paid, in whole or in part in exchange for the
services rendered or to be rendered by you to the Company or an
Affiliate in the amounts and to the extent required by
law. In the event additional consideration is required
by law so that the Common Stock acquired under this Award Agreement
is deemed fully paid and nonassessable, the Board shall determine
the amount and character of such additional consideration to be
paid.
(d)
Vesting . The Award shall be subject to vesting
in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth on the Grant
Notice, as modified by this Section 1(d). Shares
acquired by you that have vested in accordance with the Vesting
Schedule set forth in the Award Documents are “ Vested
Shares .” Shares acquired by you pursuant
to this Award Agreement that are not Vested Shares are “
Unvested Shares .”
(i)
Termination of Continuous Service; Reacquisition Right .
The Company shall simultaneously with the termination
of your Continuous Service automatically reacquire (the “
Reacquisition Right ”) for no consideration all
of the Unvested Shares, unless the Company agrees to
waive its Reacquisition Right as to some or all of the Unvested
Shares. Any such waiver shall be exercised by the
Company by written notice to you or your representative (with a
copy to Escrow Agent, as defined below) within ninety (90) days
after the termination of your Continuous Service, and Escrow Agent
may then release to you the number of Unvested Shares not being
reacquired by the Company. If the Company does not waive
its Reacquisition Right as to all of the Unvested Shares, then upon
such termination of your Continuous Service, Escrow Agent shall
transfer to the Company the number of Unvested Shares the Company
is reacquiring. The Reacquisition Right shall expire
when all of the shares have become Vested
Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
not exercise its Reacquisition Right for such period of time
following your acquisition of the shares of Common Stock issued
pursuant to this Award as necessary to avoid a charge to earnings
for financial accounting purposes, as determined in good faith by
the Board.
(ii)
Accelerated Vesting on Change in Control
. In the event of a: (1) a dissolution,
liquidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company; (2) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is
not the surviving corporation; (3) a reverse merger in which the
Company is the surviving corporation but the shares of the Common
Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by
virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of
securities, cash or otherwise; or (4) the acquisition by any
person, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d) or
14(d) of the Exchange Act, or any comparable successor provisions
(excluding any employee benefit plan, or related trust, sponsored
or maintained by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company) of
the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act, or comparable successor rule)
of securities of the Company representing at least fifty percent
(50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election
of directors, in each case other than a merger or consolidation for
the purpose of a change in domicile, and provided you remain in
Continuous Service with the Company as of immediately prior to such
transaction, then the vesting of this Award will be automatically
accelerated in full as of immediately prior to such
transaction.
(iii)
Assumption of Award . As provided in Section
12(B) of the Plan, in the event of a transaction described in
Section 12(B) of the Plan, the Reacquisition Right may be assigned
by the Company to the successor of the Company (or such
successor’s parent corporation), if any, in connection with
such transaction. To the extent the Reacquisition Right
remains in effect following such transaction, it shall apply to the
new capital stock or other property received in exchange for the
Common Stock in consummation of such transaction.
2.
Holding
Period. You agree that you will not sell or
otherwise transfer (excluding transfers to certain family trusts as
provided in Section 7 below) any of the shares of Common Stock
issued under the Award until the earlier of (1) the second
anniversary of the vesting date of the Award, (2) the closing of a
transaction described in Section 1(d)(ii) above, (3) the
certification by the Board that you have suffered an Unforeseeable
Emergency or (4) the termination of your Continuous Service as a
result of death or Disability (such period, the “
Holding Period ”). Shares sold or
withheld by the Company to cover applicable withholding for
Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 3 below) will not be
deemed a violation of the Holding Period. The shares of
Common Stock issued pursuant to this Award shall be endorsed with
appropriate legends as determined by the Company and subject to
escrow (as provided in Section 8 below) in order to enforce the
provisions of this Section 2, and you will enter into such other
arrangements as determined reasonably necessary by the Company in
order to enforce the provisions of this Section 2.
3.
Withholding
Obligations.
(a)
Regardless of any action the Company or an Affiliate
takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance,
payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related
to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (
“Tax-Related Items” ), you acknowledge
that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and
remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually
withheld by the Company or an Affiliate. You acknowledge
that the Company and/or any Affiliate (i) make no
representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any
Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award,
including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the Award,
the issuance of shares of Common Stock, the expiration of the
Reacquisition Right and the Holding Period, the sale of shares of
Common Stock acquired under the Plan and the receipt of any
dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no
obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the
Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items
or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you
have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between
the Date of Grant set forth in the Grant Notice and the date of any
relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you
acknowledge that the Company and/or an Affiliate may
be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more
than one jurisdiction.
(b)
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as
applicable, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory
to the Company and/or an Affiliate to satisfy all Tax-Related
Items. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or
an Affiliate, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to
satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one
or a combination of the following:
|
|
withholding from your wages or other cash
compensation paid to you by the Company and/or an Affiliate; or
|
|
|
causing you to tender a cash payment to the
Company in the amount of the Tax-Related Items; or
|
|
|
withholding from proceeds of the sale of
shares of Common Stock issued to you upon vesting of the Award
pursuant to you entering into a “same day sale”
commitment with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority (a “ FINRA Dealer
”) whereby you irrevocably elect to sell a portion of the
shares of Common Stock subject to the Award to satisfy the
Tax-Related Items and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits
to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Tax-Related Items
directly to the Company and/or an Affiliate; or
|
|
|
withholding shares of Common Stock from the
shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to you in connection with
the Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the
Tax-Related Items.
|
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 shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes,
you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of
Common Stock subject to the Award, notwithstanding that a number of
the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of
paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of your
participation in the Plan.
(c)
Unless the withholding obligations of the Company and/or any
Affiliate with regard to all Tax-Related Items are satisfied, the
Company shall have no obligation to deliver any shares of Common
Stock to you. Finally, you agree to indemnify and hold
the Company and/or any Affiliate harmless from any failure by the
Company and/or any Affiliate to withhold the proper amount.
4.
Rights as
Stockholder. Subject to the provisions of this Award
Agreement, you shall have the right to exercise all rights and
privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the
shares of Common Stock deposited in the Joint Escrow (as
defined in Section 8 below). You shall be deemed to be
the holder of the shares of Common Stock for purposes of receiving
any dividends that may be paid with respect to such shares and for
purposes of exercising any voting rights relating to such shares,
even if some or all of the shares are Unvested Shares.
5.
Capitalization
Adjustments; Dividends . The number of
shares of Common Stock subject to your Award will be adjusted from
time to time for capitalization adjustments, as provided in Section
12(A) of the Plan. Any shares, cash or other property
received in respect of the shares of Common Stock subject to this
Award, whether pursuant to an adjustment made under Section 12(A)
or otherwise, will be subject to the terms and conditions of this
Award to the extent such terms are then applicable to such shares
of Common Stock.
6.
Securities Law
Compliance . The grant of your Award and the
issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award shall
be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of
federal, state or foreign law with respect to such
securities. You may not be issued any shares of Common
Stock pursuant to an Award if the issuance of shares of Common
Stock would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state
or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the
requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the
Common Stock may then be listed. In addition, you may
not be issued any shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award
unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act shall
at the time of issuance be in effect with respect to the shares of
Common Stock or (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel to the
Company, the shares of Common Stock may be issued in ac
