Exhibit 10.2

BRIGHTCOVE INC.

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2004 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN

 

1. Purpose and Eligibility

The purpose of this Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of Brightcove Inc. (the “Company”) is to provide stock options and other equity interests in the Company (each an “Award”) to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company and its Subsidiaries, all of whom are eligible to receive Awards under the Plan. Any person to whom an Award has been granted under the Plan is called a “Participant.” Additional definitions are contained in Section 8.

 

2. Administration

a. Administration by Board of Directors. The Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). The Board, in its sole discretion, shall have the authority to grant and amend Awards, to adopt, amend and repeal rules relating to the Plan and to interpret and correct the provisions of the Plan and any Award. All decisions by the Board shall be final and binding on all interested persons. Neither the Company nor any member of the Board shall be liable for any action or determination relating to the Plan.

b. Appointment of Committees. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to one or more committees or subcommittees of the Board (a “Committee”). All references in the Plan to the “Board” shall mean such Committee or the Board.

c. Delegation to Executive Officers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate to one or more executive officers of the Company the power to grant Awards and exercise such other powers under the Plan as the Board may determine, provided that the Board shall fix the maximum number of Awards to be granted and the maximum number of shares issuable to any one Participant pursuant to Awards granted by such executive officers.

 

3. Stock Available for Awards

a. Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment under Section 3(c), the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) that may be issued pursuant to the Plan is 19,234,393 shares. If any Award expires, or is terminated, surrendered or forfeited, in whole or in part, the unissued Common Stock covered by such Award shall again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan. If shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan are repurchased by, or are surrendered or forfeited to, the Company at no more than cost, such shares of Common Stock shall again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that the cumulative number of such shares that may be so reissued under the Plan will not exceed 19,234,393. Shares issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.

b. [Reserved]


c. Adjustment to Common Stock. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off, split-up, or other similar change in capitalization or event, (i) the number and class of securities available for Awards under the Plan, (ii) the number and class of securities and exercise price per share subject to each outstanding Option, (iii) the repurchase price per security subject to repurchase, and (iv) the terms of each other outstanding stock-based Award shall be equitably or proportionately adjusted by the Company (or substituted Awards may be made) to the extent the Board shall determine, in good faith, that such an adjustment (or substitution) is necessary to avoid distortion in the value of Awards. If Section 7(e)(i) applies for any event, this Section 3(c) shall not be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3(c), no adjustment shall be required pursuant to this Section 3(c) if the Board determines that such action could cause an Award to fail to satisfy the conditions of any applicable exception from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or otherwise could subject a participant to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A of the Code in respect of an outstanding Award or would constitute a modification, extension or renewal of an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 424(b) of the Code.

 

4. Stock Options

a. General. The Board may grant options to purchase Common Stock (each, an “Option”) and determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Option, the exercise price of each Option and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of each Option and the Common Stock issued upon the exercise of each Option, including vesting provisions, repurchase provisions and restrictions relating to applicable federal or state securities laws, as it considers advisable.

b. Incentive Stock Options. An Option that the Board intends to be an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Code (an “Incentive Stock Option”) shall be granted only to employees of the Company and shall be subject to and shall be construed consistently with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. The Board and the Company shall have no liability if an Option or any part thereof that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option does not qualify as such. An Option or any part thereof that does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option is referred to herein as a “Nonstatutory Stock Option.”

c. Exercise Price. The Board shall establish the exercise price (or determine the method by which the exercise price shall be determined) at the time each Option is granted and specify it in the applicable option agreement.

d. Duration of Options. Each Option shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may specify in the applicable option agreement.

e. Exercise of Option. Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company of a written notice of exercise signed by the proper person together with payment in full as specified in Section 4(f) for the number of shares for which the Option is exercised.

f. Payment Upon Exercise. Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of an Option shall be paid for by one or any combination of the following forms of payment:

(i) by check payable to the order of the Company;

(ii) except as otherwise explicitly provided in the applicable option agreement, and only if the Common Stock is then publicly traded, delivery of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the

 

- 2 -


exercise price, or delivery by the Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price; or

(iii) to the extent explicitly provided in the applicable option agreement, by (x) delivery of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant valued at fair market value (as determined by the Board or as determined pursuant to the applicable option agreement), (y) delivery of a promissory note of the Participant to the Company (and delivery to the Company by the Participant of a check in an amount equal to the par value of the shares purchased), or (z) payment of such other lawful consideration as the Board may determine.

 

5. Restricted Stock

a. Grants. The Board may grant Awards entitling recipients to acquire shares of Common Stock, subject to (i) delivery to the Company by the Participant of cash or other lawful consideration in an amount at least equal to the par value of the shares purchased, and (ii) the right of the Company to repurchase all or part of such shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price from the Participant in the event that conditions specified by the Board in the applicable Award are not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period or periods established by the Board for such Award (each, a “Restricted Stock Award”).

b. Terms and Conditions. The Board shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Restricted Stock Award. Any stock certificates issued in respect of a Restricted Stock Award shall be registered in the name of the Participant and, unless otherwise determined by the Board, deposited by the Participant, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company (or its designee). After the expiration of the applicable restriction periods, the Company (or such designee) shall deliver the certificates no longer subject to such restrictions to the Participant or, if the Participant has died, to the beneficiary designated by a Participant, in a manner determined by the Board, to receive amounts due or exercise rights of the Participant in the event of the Participant’s death (the “Designated Beneficiary”). In the absence of an effective designation by a Participant, Designated Beneficiary shall mean the Participant’s estate.

 

6. Other Stock-Based Awards

The Board shall have the right to grant other Awards based upon the Common Stock having such terms and conditions as the Board may determine, including, without limitation, the grant of shares based upon certain conditions, the grant of securities convertible into Common Stock and the grant of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock awards or stock units.

 

7. General Provisions Applicable to Awards

a. Transferability of Awards; Common Stock. Except as the Board may otherwise determine or provide in an Award, Awards shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the person to whom they are granted, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the life of the Participant, shall be exercisable only by the Participant. References to a Participant, to the extent relevant in the context, shall include references to authorized transferees. Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Awards or subject to Restricted Stock Awards (the “Underlying Shares”) may not be transferred without the Company’s written consent except in accordance with Article VI, Section 6 of the Bylaws of the Company as in effect from time to time (the “Bylaws”). In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws or this Plan, to the extent that the restrictions set forth in Article VI, Section 6 of the Bylaws are not applicable for any reason, the Underlying Shares may not be transferred without the Company’s written consent except in accordance with the further provisions of any Award agreement.

b. Documentation. Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written instrument in such form as the Board shall determine or as executed by an officer of the Company pursuant to authority delegated by the Board. Each Award may contain terms and conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan provided that such terms and conditions do not contravene the provisions of the Plan.

c. Board Discretion. The terms of each type of Award need not be identical, and the Board need not treat Participants uniformly.

d. Termination of Status. The Board shall determine the effect on an Award of the disability, death, retirement, authorized leave of absence or other change in the employment or other status of a Participant and the extent to which, and the period during which, the Participant, or the Participant’s legal representative, conservator, guardian or Designated Beneficiary, may exercise rights under the Award.

e. Acquisition of the Company

(i) Consequences of an Acquisition. Upon the consummation of an Acquisition, the Board or the board of directors of the surviving or acquiring entity (as used in this Section 7(e)(i), also the “Board”), shall, as to outstanding Awards (on the same basis or on different bases as the Board shall specify), make appropriate provision for the continuation of such Awards by the Company or the assumption of such Awards by the surviving or acquiring entity and by substituting on an equitable basis for the shares then subject to such Awards either (a) the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition, (b) shares of stock of the surviving or acquiring corporation or (c) such other securities or other consideration as the Board deems appropriate, the fair market value of which (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) shall not materially differ from the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Awards immediately preceding the Acquisition. In addition to or in lieu of the foregoing, with respect to outstanding Options, the Board may, on the same basis or on different bases as the Board shall specify, upon written notice to the affected optionees, provide that one or more Options then outstanding must be exercised, in whole or in part, within a specified number of days of the date of such notice, at the end of which period such Options shall terminate, or provide that one or more Options then outstanding, in whole or in part, shall be terminated in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of the fair market value (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) for the shares subject to such Options over the exercise price thereof; provided, however, that before terminating any portion of an Option that is not vested or exercisable (other than in exchange for a cash payment), the Board must first accelerate in full the exercisability of the portion that is to be terminated. Unless otherwise determined by the Board (on the same basis or on different bases as the Board shall specify), any repurchase rights or other rights of the Company that relate to an Option or other Award shall continue to apply to consideration, including cash, that has been substituted, assumed or amended for an Option or other Award pursuant to this paragraph. The Company may hold in escrow all or any portion of any such consideration in order to effectuate any continuing restrictions.

(ii) Acquisition Defined. An “Acquisition” shall mean: (x) the sale of the Company by merger in which the shareholders of the Company in their capacity as such no longer own a majority of the outstanding equity securities of the Company (or its successor); or (y) any sale of all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of the Company (other than in a spin-off or similar transaction) or (z) any other acquisition of the business of the Company, as determined by the Board.

 

- 4 -


(iii) Assumption of Options Upon Certain Events. In connection with a merger or consolidation of an entity with the Company or the acquisition by the Company of property or stock of an entity, the Board may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for stock and stock-based awards issued by such entity or an affiliate thereof. The substitute Awards shall be granted on such terms and conditions as the Board considers appropriate in the circumstances.

f. Withholding. Each Participant shall pay to the Company, or make provisions satisfactory to the Company for payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with Awards to such Participant no later than the date of the event creating the tax liability. The Board may allow Participants to satisfy such tax obligations in whole or in part by transferring shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their fair market value (as determined by the Board or as determined pursuant to the applicable option agreement). The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a Participant.

g. Amendment of Awards. The Board may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award including, but not limited to, substituting therefor another Award of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or realization, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock Option, provided that the Participant’s consent to such action shall be required unless the Board determines that the action, taking into account any related action, would not materially and adversely affect the Participant.

h. Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan or to remove restrictions from shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all conditions of the Award have been met or removed to the satisfaction of the Company, (ii) in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and any applicable stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Company may consider appropriate to satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws, rules or regulations.

i. Acceleration. The Board may at any time provide that any Options shall become immediately exercisable in full or in part, that any Restricted Stock Awards shall be free of some or all restrictions, or that any other stock-based Awards may become exercisable in full or in part or free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise realizable in full or in part, as the case may be, despite the fact that the foregoing actions may (i) cause the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code if a change in control of the Company occurs, or (ii) disqualify all or part of the Option as an Incentive Stock Option. In the event of the acceleration of the exercisability of one or more outstanding Options, including pursuant to paragraph (e)(i), the Board may provide, as a condition of full exercisability of any or all such Options, that the Common Stock or other substituted consideration, including cash, as to which exercisability has been accelerated shall be restricted and subject to forfeiture back to the Company at the option of the Company at the cost thereof upon termination of employment or other relationship, with the timing and other terms of the vesting of such restricted stock or other consideration being equivalent to the timing and other terms of the superseded exercise schedule of the related Option.

8. Miscellaneous

a. Definitions.

(i) “Company,” for purposes of eligibility under the Plan, shall include any present or future subsidiary corporations of Brightcove Inc., as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code (a “Subsidiary”), and any present or future parent corporation of Brightcove Inc., as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code. For purposes of Awards other than Incentive Stock Options, the term “Company” shall include any other business venture in which the Company has a direct or indirect significant interest, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

b. No Right To Employment or Other Status. No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan.

c. No Rights As Stockholder. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock to be distributed with respect to an Award until becoming the record holder thereof.

d. Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective on the date on which it is adopted by the Board. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the completion of ten years from the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date.

e. Amendment of Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time.

f. Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan and all Awards made hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Delaware, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law.

2. Grant as Incentive Stock Option. This option is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (the “Code”).

3. Vesting of Option.

(a) Vesting if Business Relationship Continues. The Optionee may exercise this option on the date of this option grant for the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, set forth on the cover page hereof. If the Optionee has continuously maintained a Business Relationship (as defined below) with the Company through the dates listed on the vesting schedule set forth on the cover page hereof, the Optionee may exercise this option for the additional number of shares of Common Stock set opposite the applicable vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its discretion, accelerate the date that any installment of this option becomes exercisable. The foregoing rights are cumulative and may be exercised only before the date which is ten years from the date of this option grant.

(b) [Accelerated Vesting Due to Acquisition. In the event an Acquisition that is not a Private Transaction occurs while the Optionee maintains a Business Relationship with the Company and this option has not fully vested, the vesting schedule shall be accelerated by 25 percent, such acceleration to occur immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition, with vesting to otherwise continue after the closing at the rate/number set forth on the cover page as to the remainder of the Shares subject to vesting and on the same vesting dates, each as accelerated, provided that the Optionee continuously maintains a Business Relationship with the Company or its successor through the applicable vesting dates. If during the year following an Acquisition, the Company or the acquiror terminates the Business Relationship without Cause (as defined below), or if the Optionee resigns for Good Reason (as defined below), then the vesting schedule shall be accelerated by an additional 25 percent, such acceleration and vesting to occur upon the effective date of termination or resignation as the case may be, and this option shall thereafter expire (may no longer be exercised) after the passage of three months from such time, but in no event later than the scheduled expiration date.]

(c) Definitions. The following definitions shall apply:

Acquisition” means (i) the sale of the Company by merger in which the shareholders of the Company in their capacity as such no longer own a majority of the outstanding equity securities of the Company (or its successor); or (ii) any sale of all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of the Company (other than in a spin-off or similar transaction) or (iii) any other acquisition of the business of the Company, as determined by the Board.

4. Termination of Business Relationship.

(a) Termination. If the Optionee’s Business Relationship with the Company ceases, voluntarily or involuntarily, with or without cause, no further installments of this option shall become exercisable, and this option shall expire (may no longer be exercised) after the passage of three months from the date of termination, but in no event later than the scheduled expiration date. Any determination under this agreement as to the status of a Business Relationship or other matters referred to above shall be made in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(b) Employment Status. For purposes hereof, with respect to employees of the Company, employment shall not be considered as having terminated during any leave of absence if such leave of absence has been approved in writing by the Company and if such written approval contractually obligates the Company to continue the employment of the Optionee after the approved period of absence; in the event of such an approved leave of absence, vesting of this option shall be suspended (and the period of the leave of absence shall be added to all vesting dates) unless otherwise provided in the Company’s written approval of the leave of absence. For purposes hereof, a termination of employment followed by another Business Relationship shall be deemed a termination of the Business Relationship with all vesting to cease unless the Company enters into a written agreement related to such other Business Relationship in which it is specifically stated that there is no termination of the Business Relationship under this agreement. This option shall not be affected by any change of employment within or among the Company and its Subsidiaries so long as the Optionee continuously remains an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary.

(c) Termination for Cause. If the Business Relationship of the Optionee is terminated for Cause (as defined above), this option may no longer be exercised from and after the Optionee’s receipt of written notice of such termination.

For purposes hereof, “disability” means “permanent and total disability” as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.

7. Payment of Exercise Price.

(a) Payment Options. The exercise price shall be paid by one or any combination of the following forms of payment that are applicable to this option, as indicated on the cover page hereof:

 

  (i) by check payable to the order of the Company; or

 

  (ii) delivery of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking, satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, by a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price, or delivery by the Optionee to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions, satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price; or

 

  (iii) subject to Section 7(b) below, if the Common Stock is then traded on a national securities exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market (or successor trading system), by delivery of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal as of the date of exercise to the option price.

In the case of (iii) above, fair market value as of the date of exercise shall be determined as of the last business day for which such prices or quotes are available prior to the date of exercise and shall mean (i) the last reported sale price (on that date) 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 (or successor trading system), if the Common Stock is not then traded on a national securities exchange.

(b) Limitations on Payment by Delivery of Common Stock. If Section 7(a)(iii) is applicable, and if the Optionee delivers Common Stock held by the Optionee (“Old Stock”) to the Company in full or partial payment of the exercise price and the Old Stock so delivered is subject

 

- 4 -


to restrictions or limitations imposed by agreement between the Optionee and the Company, an equivalent number of Shares shall be subject to all restrictions and limitations applicable to the Old Stock to the extent that the Optionee paid for the Shares by delivery of Old Stock, in addition to any restrictions or limitations imposed by this agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee may not pay any part of the exercise price hereof by transferring Common Stock to the Company unless such Common Stock has been owned by the Optionee free of any substantial risk of forfeiture for at least six months.

8. Securities Laws Restrictions on Resale. Until registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any successor statute (the “Securities Act”), the Shares will be illiquid and will be deemed to be “restricted securities” for purposes of the Securities Act. Accordingly, such shares must be sold in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom and may need to be held indefinitely. Unless the Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, each certificate evidencing any of the Shares shall bear a restrictive legend specified by the Company.

9. Method of Exercising Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, this option may be exercised by written notice to the Company at its principal executive office, or to such transfer agent as the Company shall designate. Such notice shall state the election to exercise this option and the number of Shares for which it is being exercised and shall be signed by the person or persons so exercising this option. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of the full purchase price of such shares, and the Company shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing such shares as soon as practicable after the notice shall be received. Such certificate or certificates shall be registered in the name of the person or persons so exercising this option (or, if this option shall be exercised by the Optionee and if the Optionee shall so request in the notice exercising this option, shall be registered in the name of the Optionee and another person jointly, with right of survivorship). In the event this option shall be exercised, pursuant to Section 5 hereof, by any person or persons other than the Optionee, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise this option.

10. Option Not Transferable. This option is not transferable or assignable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the Optionee’s lifetime only the Optionee can exercise this option.

11. No Obligation to Exercise Option. The grant and acceptance of this option imposes no obligation on the Optionee to exercise it.

12. No Obligation to Continue Business Relationship. Neither the Plan, this agreement, nor the grant of this option imposes any obligation on the Company to continue the Optionee in employment or other Business Relationship.

13. Adjustments. Except as is expressly provided in the Plan with respect to certain changes in the capitalization of the Company, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or similar rights for which the record date is prior to such date of exercise.

14. Withholding Taxes. If the Company in its discretion determines that it is obligated to withhold any tax in connection with the exercise of this option, or in connection with the transfer of, or the lapse of restrictions on, any Common Stock or other property acquired pursuant to this option, the Optionee hereby agrees that the Company may withhold from the Optionee’s wages or other remuneration the appropriate amount of tax. At the discretion of the Company, the amount required to be withheld may be withheld in cash from such wages or other remuneration or in kind from the Common Stock or other property otherwise deliverable to the Optionee on exercise of this option. The Optionee further agrees that, if the Company does not withhold an amount from the Optionee’s wages or other remuneration sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation of the Company, the Optionee will make reimbursement on demand, in cash, for the amount underwithheld.

15. Restrictions on Transfer; Company’s Right of First Refusal.

(a) Exercise of Right. Shares may not be transferred without the Company’s written consent except by will, by the laws of descent and distribution or in accordance with the further provisions of this Section 15. If the Optionee desires to transfer all or any part of the Shares to any person other than the Company (an “Offeror”), the Optionee shall: (i) obtain in writing an irrevocable and unconditional bona fide offer (the “Offer”) for the purchase thereof from the Offeror; and (ii) give written notice (the “Option Notice”) to the Company setting forth the Optionee’s desire to transfer such shares, which Option Notice shall be accompanied by a photocopy of the Offer and shall set forth at least the name and address of the Offeror and the price and terms of the Offer. Upon receipt of the Option Notice, the Company shall have an assignable option to purchase any or all of such Shares (the “Offered Shares”) specified in the Option Notice, such option to be exercisable by giving, within 15 days after receipt of the Option Notice, a written counter-notice to the Optionee. If the Company elects to purchase all of such Offered Shares, it shall be obligated to purchase, and the Optionee shall be obligated to sell to the Company or its assignee, such Offered Shares at the price and terms indicated in the Offer within 30 days from the date of delivery by the Company of such counter-notice. To the extent that the consideration proposed to be paid by the Offeror for the shares consists of property other than cash or a promissory note, the consideration required to be paid by the Company may consist of cash equal to the fair market value of such property, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(b) Sale of Shares to Offeror. The Optionee may, for 60 days after the expiration of the 30-day option period as set forth in Section 15(a), sell to the Offeror, pursuant to the terms of the Offer, all of such Offered Shares not purchased or agreed to be purchased by the Company or its assignee; provided, however, that the Optionee shall not sell such Shares to such Offeror if such Offeror is a competitor of the Company and the Company gives written notice to the Optionee, within 30 days of its receipt of the Option Notice, stating that the Optionee shall not sell his or her Shares to such Offeror; and provided, further, that prior to the sale of such Shares to an Offeror, such Offeror shall execute an agreement with the Company pursuant to which such Offeror agrees to be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 15. If any or all of such Shares are not sold pursuant to an Offer within the time permitted above, the unsold Shares shall remain subject to the terms of this Section 15.

(c) Failure to Deliver Shares. If the Optionee (or his or her legal representative) who has become obligated to sell Shares hereunder shall fail to deliver such shares to the Company in accordance with the terms of this agreement, the Company may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, mail to the Optionee the purchase price for such shares as is herein specified. Thereupon, the Company: (i) shall cancel on its books the certificate or certificates representing such Shares to be sold; and (ii) shall issue, in lieu thereof, a new certificate or certificates in the name of the Company representing such Shares (or cancel such Shares), and thereupon all of such Optionee’s rights in and to such Shares shall terminate.

(d) Expiration of Company’s Right of First Refusal and Transfer Restrictions. The first refusal rights of the Company and the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 15 shall expire as to Shares on the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth anniversary of the date of this agreement, (ii) immediately prior to the closing of a public offering of Common Stock by the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, or (iii) the

occurrence of an Acquisition that is not a Private Transaction. In addition, if the Company and the Optionee are parties to an agreement containing first refusal provisions similar to the foregoing, such other agreement shall control.

16. Early Disposition. The Optionee agrees to notify the Company in writing immediately after the Optionee transfers any Shares, if such transfer occurs on or before the later of (a) the date that is two years after the date of this agreement or (b) the date that is one year after the date on which the Optionee acquired such Shares. The Optionee also agrees to provide the Company with any information concerning any such transfer required by the Company for tax purposes.

17. Lock-up Agreement. The Optionee agrees that in the event that the Company effects an initial underwritten public offering of Common Stock registered under the Securities Act, the Shares may not be sold, offered for sale or otherwise disposed of, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter(s) of the offering, for 180 days after the execution of an underwriting agreement in connection with such offering, or for such longer period as all of the Company’s then directors and executive officers agree to be similarly bound.

18. Drag Along Right.

(a) Exercise of Right. If one or more persons who own in the aggregate 51% or more of the then outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company obtains from an offeror (the “Offeror”) a bona fide arms’ length offer for an Acquisition of the Company, such person(s) shall have the right to require, by written notice (the “Drag Along Notice”), to any person who holds Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement (the “Notice Recipient”) to cause all of the Shares acquired pursuant to this option to be transferred to the Offeror.

(b) Dissenters’ Rights. The Optionee further agrees to refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to such Acquisition of the Company.

(c) Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. If there shall be any change in the Common Stock of the Company through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, or the like, the provisions contained in this Article 18 shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by the Optionee in exchange for, or by virtue of the Optionee’s ownership of, Shares.

(d) Failure to Deliver Shares. If the Notice Recipient fails or refuses to deliver on a timely basis duly endorsed certificates representing Shares to be sold pursuant to this Article 18, the Offeror shall have the right to deposit the purchase price for the Shares in a special account with any bank or trust company in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, giving notice of such deposit to the Notice Recipient, whereupon such Shares shall be deemed to have been purchased by the Offeror and such purchase shall be duly noted upon the books and records of the Company and all Optionee’s rights in and to such Shares shall be terminated. All such monies shall be held by the bank or trust company for the benefit of the Notice Recipient. All monies deposited with the bank or trust company but remaining unclaimed for two (2) years after the date of deposit shall be repaid by the bank or trust company to the Company on demand, and the Notice Recipient shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment.

(e) Expiration of Drag Along Right. The drag along right set forth above shall remain in effect until the effective date of the Company’s first underwritten public offering of its Common Stock under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

(f) Voting Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Optionee is then party to and the Shares are then subject to the drag along right set forth in that certain Voting Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2004, by and among the Company and the several stockholders parties thereto from time to time (as the same may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Voting Agreement”), then the Optionee shall be bound by the “drag along” provision set forth in the Voting Agreement in lieu of this Section 18.

Except as expressly provided herein or in the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares subject to this option.

If there shall be any change in the Common Stock of the Company through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, spin-off, split-up or other similar change in capitalization or event, the restrictions contained in this agreement shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by the Optionee in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, Shares, except as otherwise determined by the Board.

2. Grant as Non-Qualified Stock Option. This option is a non-statutory stock option and is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (the “Code”).

3. Vesting of Option.

(a) Vesting if Business Relationship Continues. The Optionee may exercise this option on the date of this option grant for the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, set forth on the cover page hereof. If the Optionee has continuously maintained a Business Relationship (as defined below) with the Company through the dates listed on the vesting schedule set forth on the cover page hereof, the Optionee may exercise this option for the additional number of shares of Common Stock set opposite the applicable vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its discretion, accelerate the date that any installment of this option becomes exercisable. The foregoing rights are cumulative and may be exercised only before the date which is ten years from the date of this option grant.

(b) [Accelerated Vesting Due to Acquisition. In the event an Acquisition that is not a Private Transaction occurs while the Optionee maintains a Business Relationship with the Company and this option has not fully vested, the vesting schedule shall be accelerated by 25 percent, such acceleration to occur immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition, with vesting to otherwise continue after the closing at the rate/number set forth on the cover page as to the remainder of the Shares subject to vesting and on the same vesting dates, each as accelerated, provided that the Optionee continuously maintains a Business Relationship with the Company or its successor through the applicable vesting dates. If during the year following an Acquisition, the Company or the acquiror terminates the Business Relationship without Cause (as defined below), or if the Optionee resigns for Good Reason (as defined below), then the vesting schedule shall be accelerated by an additional 25 percent, such acceleration and vesting to occur upon the effective date of termination or resignation as the case may be, and this option shall thereafter expire (may no longer be exercised) after the passage of three months from such time, but in no event later than the scheduled expiration date.]

(c) Definitions. The following definitions shall apply:

Acquisition” means (i) the sale of the Company by merger in which the shareholders of the Company in their capacity as such no longer own a majority of the outstanding equity securities of the Company (or its successor); or (ii) any sale of all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of the Company (other than in a spin-off or similar transaction) or (iii) any other acquisition of the business of the Company, as determined by the Board.

(a) Termination. If the Optionee’s Business Relationship with the Company ceases, voluntarily or involuntarily, with or without cause, no further installments of this option shall become exercisable, and this option shall expire (may no longer be exercised) after the passage of three months from the date of termination, but in no event later than the scheduled expiration date. Any determination under this agreement as to the status of a Business Relationship or other matters referred to above shall be made in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(b) Employment Status. For purposes hereof, with respect to employees of the Company, employment shall not be considered as having terminated during any leave of absence if such leave of absence has been approved in writing by the Company and if such written approval contractually obligates the Company to continue the employment of the Optionee after the approved period of absence; in the event of such an approved leave of absence, vesting of this option shall be suspended (and the period of the leave of absence shall be added to all vesting dates) unless otherwise provided in the Company’s written approval of the leave of absence. For purposes hereof, a termination of employment followed by another Business Relationship shall be deemed a termination of the Business Relationship with all vesting to cease unless the Company enters into a written agreement related to such other Business Relationship in which it is specifically stated that there is no termination of the Business Relationship under this agreement. This option shall not be affected by any change of employment within or among the Company and its Subsidiaries so long as the Optionee continuously remains an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary.

to restrictions or limitations imposed by agreement between the Optionee and the Company, an equivalent number of Shares shall be subject to all restrictions and limitations applicable to the Old Stock to the extent that the Optionee paid for the Shares by delivery of Old Stock, in addition to any restrictions or limitations imposed by this agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee may not pay any part of the exercise price hereof by transferring Common Stock to the Company unless such Common Stock has been owned by the Optionee free of any substantial risk of forfeiture for at least six months.

8. Securities Laws Restrictions on Resale. Until registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any successor statute (the “Securities Act”), the Shares will be illiquid and will be deemed to be “restricted securities” for purposes of the Securities Act. Accordingly, such shares must be sold in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom and may need to be held indefinitely. Unless the Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, each certificate evidencing any of the Shares shall bear a restrictive legend specified by the Company.

9. Method of Exercising Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, this option may be exercised by written notice to the Company at its principal executive office, or to such transfer agent as the Company shall designate.

Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of the full purchase price of such shares, and the Company shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing such shares as soon as practicable after the notice shall be received. Such certificate or certificates shall be registered in the name of the person or persons so exercising this option (or, if this option shall be exercised by the Optionee and if the Optionee shall so request in the notice exercising this option, shall be registered in the name of the Optionee and another person jointly, with right of survivorship). In the event this option shall be exercised, pursuant to Section 5 hereof, by any person or persons other than the Optionee, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise this option.

10. Option Not Transferable. This option is not transferable or assignable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the Optionee’s lifetime only the Optionee can exercise this option.

11. No Obligation to Exercise Option. The grant and acceptance of this option imposes no obligation on the Optionee to exercise it.

12. No Obligation to Continue Business Relationship. Neither the Plan, this agreement, nor the grant of this option imposes any obligation on the Company to continue the Optionee in employment or other Business Relationship.

13. Adjustments. Except as is expressly provided in the Plan with respect to certain changes in the capitalization of the Company, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or similar rights for which the record date is prior to such date of exercise.

14. Withholding Taxes. If the Company in its discretion determines that it is obligated to withhold any tax in connection with the exercise of this option, or in connection with the transfer of, or the lapse of restrictions on, any Common Stock or other property acquired pursuant to this option, the Optionee hereby agrees that the Company may withhold from the Optionee’s wages or other remuneration the appropriate amount of tax. At the discretion of the Company, the amount required to be withheld may be withheld in cash from such wages or other remuneration or in kind from the Common Stock or other property otherwise deliverable to the Optionee on exercise of this option. The Optionee further agrees that, if the Company does not withhold an amount from the Optionee’s wages or other remuneration sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation of the Company, the Optionee will make reimbursement on demand, in cash, for the amount underwithheld.

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT entered into as of [                    ], between Brightcove Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [                    ] (the “Stockholder”), pursuant to the terms of the Brightcove Inc. (formerly Video Marketplace, Inc.) 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein will have the meaning given such terms in the Plan.

WHEREAS, on [                    ], the Stockholder purchased [                    ] shares of the common stock, $0.001 par value, of the Company (“Common Stock”) subject to certain restrictions, at a purchase price of $[            ] per share;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and the mutual covenants made herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Stockholder agree as follows:

 

  1. Purchase of Shares.

The Shares have been validly issued and are fully-paid and non-assessable. The Stockholder agrees that the Shares shall be subject to the purchase options and restrictions on transfer and other requirements set forth in this Agreement.

 

  2. Purchase Option.

(a) In the event that the Stockholder ceases to have a Business Relationship with the Company for any reason or no reason, with or without cause, prior to [                    ], the Company shall have the right and option (the “Purchase Option”) to purchase from the Stockholder, for a sum of $[    ] per share (the “Option Price”), the Unvested Shares (as defined below). “Unvested Shares” means the total number of Shares that are not vested as determined in accordance with the following vesting schedule; provided, however, that the Stockholder must continue to have a Business Relationship (as defined below) on each vesting date in order for the Shares to become vested on such date:

Vesting Schedule:

 

The Shares shall vest over 4 years, at a rate of 25% of the Shares on the one year anniversary of the [                        ] (the “Anniversary Date”) and as to an additional 2.083% of the Shares at the end of each successive month following the Anniversary Date until the four year anniversary of the [                    ], on which date all remaining Unvested Shares shall vest.

(b) [In the event an Acquisition that is not a Private Transaction occurs while the Stockholder maintains a Business Relationship with the Company and the Shares are not already fully vested, the vesting schedule shall be accelerated by 25 percent, such acceleration to occur immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition, with vesting to otherwise continue after the closing in accordance with the vesting schedule as to the remainder of the Shares subject to vesting and on the same vesting dates, each as accelerated, provided that the Stockholder continuously maintains a Business Relationship with the Company or its successor through the applicable vesting dates. If during the year following an Acquisition,


the Company or the acquirer terminates the Business Relationship without Cause (as defined below), or if the Stockholder resigns for Good Reason (as defined below), then the vesting schedule shall be accelerated by an additional 25 percent, such acceleration and vesting to occur upon the effective date of termination or resignation as the case may be, and this Agreement shall thereafter expire as to any shares that remain unvested. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Relationship” means service to the Company or its successor in the capacity of an employee, officer, director or consultant.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means: (i) gross negligence or willful malfeasance in the performance of the Stockholder’s work or a breach of fiduciary duty or confidentiality obligations to the Company by the Stockholder; (ii) failure to follow the proper directions of the Stockholder’s direct or indirect supervisor after written notice of such failure; (iii) the commission by the Stockholder of illegal conduct relating to the Company; (iv) disregard by the Stockholder of the material rules or material policies of the Company which has not been cured within 15 days after notice thereof from the Company; or (v) intentional acts on the part of the Stockholder that have generated material adverse publicity toward or about the Company.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means within twelve months following the closing date of an Acquisition (i) a reduction or diminution, without the employee’s consent, of the Stockholder’s annual compensation (ii) a material reduction or diminution, without the Stockholder’s consent, in the role, title, or responsibilities of the Stockholder regarding the Company’s business, or (iii) a requirement that the Stockholder relocate his/her principal location of employment by more than 50 miles.]

(e) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Acquisition” means (i) the sale of the Company by merger in which the shareholders of the Company in their capacity as such no longer own a majority of the outstanding equity securities of the Company (or its successor); or (ii) any sale of all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of the Company (other than in a spin-off or similar transaction) or (iii) any other acquisition of the business of the Company, as determined by the Board.

(f) For purposes of this Agreement, “Private Transaction” means any Acquisition where the consideration received or retained by the holders of the then outstanding capital stock of the Company does not consist entirely of (i) cash or cash equivalent consideration, (ii) securities which are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and/or (iii) securities for which the Company or any other issuer thereof has agreed, including pursuant to a demand, to file a resale registration statement within ninety (90) days of completion of the transaction for resale to the public pursuant to the Securities Act.

 

  3. Exercise of Purchase Option and Closing.

(a) The Company may exercise the Purchase Option by delivering or mailing to the Stockholder (or his estate), within 60 days after the termination of the Business Relationship of the Stockholder with the Company, a written notice of exercise of the Purchase Option. Such notice shall specify the number of Shares to be purchased. If and to the extent the Purchase Option is not so exercised by the giving of such a notice within such 60-day period, the Purchase Option shall automatically expire and terminate effective upon the expiration of such 60-day period.

(b) Within 10 days after delivery to the Stockholder of the Company’s notice of the exercise of the Purchase Option pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Stockholder (or his estate) shall, pursuant to the provisions of the Joint Escrow Instructions referred to in Section 7, tender to the Company at its principal offices the certificate or certificates representing the Shares which the Company has elected to purchase in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, duly endorsed in blank or with duly endorsed

 

- 2 -


stock powers attached thereto, all in form suitable for the transfer of such Shares to the Company. Promptly following its receipt of such certificate or certificates, the Company shall pay to the Stockholder the aggregate Option Price for such Shares (provided that any delay in making such payment shall not invalidate the Company’s exercise of the Purchase Option with respect to such Shares).

(c) After the time at which any Shares are required to be delivered to the Company for transfer to the Company pursuant to subsection (b) above, the Company shall not pay any dividend to the Stockholder on account of such Shares or permit the Stockholder to exercise any of the privileges or rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, but shall, in so far as permitted by law, treat the Company as the owner of such Shares.

(d) The Option Price may be payable, at the option of the Company, in cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Stockholder to the Company or in cash (by check) or both.

(e) The Company shall not purchase any fraction of a Share upon exercise of the Purchase Option, and any fraction of a Share shall be rounded to the nearest whole Share (with any one-half Share being rounded upward).

(f) The Company may assign its Purchase Option to one or more persons or entities approved by the Board of Directors.

 

  4. Right of First Refusal.

(a) Exercise of Right. Shares may not be transferred without the Company’s written consent except by will, by the laws of descent and distribution or in accordance with the further provisions of this Section 4. Any proposed transfer of Shares not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio¸ shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company. If the Stockholder desires to transfer all or any part of the Shares to any person other than the Company (an “Offeror”), the Stockholder shall: (i) obtain in writing an irrevocable and unconditional bona fide offer (the “Offer”) for the purchase thereof from the Offeror; and (ii) give written notice (the “Notice”) to the Company setting forth the Stockholder’s desire to transfer such shares, which Notice shall be accompanied by a photocopy of the Offer and shall set forth at least the name and address of the Offeror and the price and terms of the Offer. Upon receipt of the Notice, the Company shall have an assignable option to purchase any or all of such Shares (the “Offered Shares”) specified in the Notice, such option to be exercisable by giving, within 15 days after receipt of the Notice, a written counter-notice to the Stockholder. If the Company elects to purchase all of such Offered Shares, it shall be obligated to purchase, and the Stockholder shall be obligated to sell to the Company or its assignee, such Offered Shares at the price and terms indicated in the Offer within 30 days from the date of delivery by the Company of such counter-notice. To the extent that the consideration proposed to be paid by the Offeror for the shares consists of property other than cash or a promissory note, the consideration required to be paid by the Company may consist of cash equal to the fair market value of such property, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(b) Sale of Shares to Offeror. The Stockholder may, for 60 days after the expiration of the 30-day option period as set forth in Section 4(a), sell to the Offeror, pursuant to the terms of the Offer, all of such Offered Shares not purchased or agreed to be purchased by the Company or its assignee; provided, however, that the Stockholder shall not sell such Shares to such Offeror if such Offeror is a competitor of the Company and the Company gives written notice to the Stockholder, within 30 days of its receipt of the Notice, stating that the Stockholder shall not sell his or her Shares to such Offeror; and provided, further,

 

- 3 -


that prior to the sale of such Shares to an Offeror, such Offeror shall execute an agreement with the Company pursuant to which such Offeror agrees to be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 4. If any or all of such Shares are not sold pursuant to an Offer within the time permitted above, the unsold Shares shall remain subject to the terms of this Section 4.

(c) Failure to Deliver Shares. If the Stockholder (or his or her legal representative) who has become obligated to sell Shares hereunder shall fail to deliver such shares to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, mail to the Stockholder the purchase price for such shares as is herein specified. Thereupon, the Company: (i) shall cancel on its books the certificate or certificates representing such Shares to be sold; and (ii) shall issue, in lieu thereof, a new certificate or certificates in the name of the Company representing such Shares (or cancel such Shares), and thereupon all of such Stockholder’s rights in and to such Shares shall terminate.

(d) Expiration of Company’s Right of First Refusal and Transfer Restrictions. The first refusal rights of the Company and the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 4 shall expire as to Shares on the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement, (ii) immediately prior to the closing of a public offering of Common Stock by the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, or (iii) the occurrence of an Acquisition that is not a Private Transaction. In addition, if the Company and the Stockholder are parties to an agreement containing first refusal provisions similar to the foregoing, such other agreement shall control.

 

  5. Drag Along Right.

(a) Exercise of Right. If one or more persons who own in the aggregate 51% or more of the then outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company obtains from any person (the “Acquirer”) a bona fide arms’ length offer for an Acquisition of the Company, such person(s) shall have the right to require, by written notice (the “Drag Along Notice”), to any person who holds Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement (the “Notice Recipient”) to cause all of the Shares acquired pursuant to this option to be transferred to the Acquirer.

(b) Dissenters’ Rights. The Stockholder further agrees to refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to such Acquisition of the Company.

(c) Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. If there shall be any change in the Common Stock of the Company through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, or the like, the provisions contained in this Section 5 shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by the Stockholder in exchange for, or by virtue of the Stockholder’s ownership of, Shares.

(d) Failure to Deliver Shares. If the Notice Recipient fails or refuses to deliver on a timely basis duly endorsed certificates representing Shares to be sold pursuant to this Section 5, the Acquirer shall have the right to deposit the purchase price for the Shares in a special account with any bank or trust company in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, giving notice of such deposit to the Notice Recipient, whereupon such Shares shall be deemed to have been purchased by the Acquirer and such purchase shall be duly noted upon the books and records of the Company and all Stockholder’s rights in and to such Shares shall be terminated. All such monies shall be held by the bank or trust company for the benefit of the Notice Recipient. All monies deposited with the bank or trust company but remaining unclaimed for two (2) years after the date of deposit shall be repaid by the bank or trust company to the Company on demand, and the Notice Recipient shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment.

 

- 4 -


(e) Expiration of Drag Along Right. The drag along right set forth above shall remain in effect until the effective date of the Company’s first underwritten public offering of its Common Stock under the Securities Act.

(f) Voting Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Stockholder is then party to and the Shares are then subject to the drag along right set forth in that certain Second Amended and Restated Voting Agreement, dated as of January 17, 2007, by and among the Company and the several stockholders parties thereto from time to time (as the same may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Voting Agreement”), then the Stockholder shall be bound by the “drag along” provision set forth in the Voting Agreement in lieu of this Section 5.

 

  6. Agreement in Connection with Public Offering.

The Stockholder agrees, in connection with the initial underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act, (i) not to sell, make short sale of, loan, grant any options for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock held by the Stockholder (other than those shares included in the offering) without the prior written consent of the Company and the underwriters managing such initial underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities for a period of 180 days from the effective date of such registration statement, and (ii) to execute any agreement reflecting clause (i) above as may be requested by the Company or the managing underwriters at the time of such offering.

 

  7. Escrow.

The Stockholder shall, upon the execution of this Agreement, execute Joint Escrow Instructions in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A. The Joint Escrow Instructions shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Company, as escrow agent thereunder. The Stockholder shall deliver to such escrow agent a stock assignment duly endorsed in blank and hereby instructs the Company to deliver to such escrow agent, on behalf of the Stockholder, the certificate(s) evidencing the Shares issued hereunder and subject to the Purchase Option. Such materials shall be held by such escrow agent pursuant to the terms of such Joint Escrow Instructions.

 

  8. Investment Representations.

In connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares contemplated by Section 1 above, the Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

(a) The Stockholder is purchasing the Shares for the Stockholder’s own account for investment only, and not for resale or with a view to the distribution thereof.

(b) The Stockholder has had such an opportunity as he or she has deemed adequate to obtain from the Company such information as is necessary to permit him or her to evaluate the merits and risks of the Stockholder’s investment in the Company and has consulted with the Stockholder’s own advisers with respect to the Stockholder’s investment in the Company.

(c) The Stockholder has sufficient experience in business, financial and investment matters to be able to evaluate the risks involved in the purchase of the Shares and to make an informed investment decision with respect to such purchase.

 

- 5 -


(d) The Stockholder can afford a complete loss of the value of the Shares and is able to bear the economic risk of holding such Shares for an indefinite period.

(e) The Stockholder understands that the Shares are not registered under the Securities Act (it being understood that the Shares are being issued and sold in reliance on the exemption provided in Rule 701 thereunder) or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and may not be sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws (or exemptions from the registration requirements thereof). The Stockholder further acknowledges that certificates representing the Shares will bear restrictive legends reflecting the foregoing.

 

  9. Restrictive Legends.

All certificates representing Shares shall have affixed thereto legends in substantially the following form, in addition to any other legends that may be required under federal or state securities laws:

“The shares of stock represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer and an option to purchase set forth in a certain Restricted Stock Agreement between the corporation and the registered owner of these shares (or his predecessor in interest), and such Agreement is available for inspection without charge at the office of the Secretary of the corporation.”

“The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the absence of an effective registration statement under such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the corporation to the effect that such registration is not required.”

 

  10. Adjustments for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc.

(a) If from time to time after the date hereof there is any stock split, stock dividend, stock distribution or other reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which the Stockholder is entitled by reason of his ownership of the Shares shall be immediately subject to the Purchase Option, the restrictions on transfer and the other provisions of this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Shares, and the Option Price shall be appropriately adjusted.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity as a result of which all of the Common Stock of the Company is converted into or exchanged for the right to receive cash, securities or other property or any exchange of all of the Common Stock of the Company for cash, securities or other property pursuant to a share exchange transaction, the repurchase and other rights of the Company hereunder shall inure to the benefit of the Company’s successor and shall apply to the cash, securities or other property which the Shares were converted into or exchanged for pursuant to such transaction in the same manner and to the same extent as they applied to the Shares under this Agreement. If, in connection with such a transaction, a portion of the cash, securities and/or other property received upon the conversion or exchange of the Shares is to be placed into escrow to secure indemnification or similar obligations, the mix between the vested and unvested portion of such cash, securities and/or other property that is placed into escrow shall be the same as the mix between the vested and unvested portion of such cash, securities and/or other property that is not subject to escrow.

 

- 6 -


  11. Withholding Taxes.

The Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Stockholder, or from the Shares held pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the minimum federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the purchase of the Shares by the Stockholder. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Stockholder agrees to elect, in accordance with Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to recognize ordinary income in the year of acquisition of the Shares, and to pay to the Company all withholding taxes shown as due on his or her Section 83(b) election form, or otherwise ultimately determined to be due with respect to such election, based on the excess, if any, of the fair market value of such Shares as of the date of the purchase of such Shares by the Stockholder over the purchase price for such Shares.

 

  12. No Rights To Employment.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Stockholder any right to be retained, in any position, as an employee of the Company. The Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of the Shares pursuant to Section 2 hereof is earned only by continuing service as an employee at the will of the Company (not through the act of being hired or purchasing shares hereunder). The Stockholder further acknowledges and agrees that the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued engagement as an employee for the vesting period, for any period, or at all.

 

  13. Severability.

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

Any provision for the benefit of the Company contained in this Agreement may be waived, either generally or in any particular instance, by the Board of Directors of the Company.
