2004 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

 

Adopted as of January 1, 2004

 

ARTICLE ONE

 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

1.1 Purpose of the Plan.

 

This 2004 Management Incentive Plan is intended to promote the interests of Comsys Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), by providing eligible persons with an incentive for them to remain in the service of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

 

Capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached Appendix (or as defined herein).

 

1.2 Structure of the Plan.

 

A. The Plan is structured as a Stock Issuance Program under which eligible persons will be issued shares of Restricted Preferred Stock through the purchase of such shares or as otherwise deemed appropriate by the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

 

B. The Plan is implemented by the creation of the Corporation’s Class D Preferred Stock. The Corporation has (or will) file the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation creating the Restricted Preferred Stock for issuance under the Plan, which Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is hereby incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Plan, the terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall control. Each Participant’s shares of Restricted Preferred Stock may be repurchased by the Corporation as set forth in each Participant’s Stock Issuance Agreement.

 

1.3 Administration of the Plan.

 

A. The Plan shall be administered by the Board.

 

B. The Board shall have the power and authority to establish such rules and regulations as it deems reasonably appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan and to make such determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the Plan and any stock issuances thereunder as the Board may reasonably determine to be necessary or advisable and which are consistent with the purpose of the Plan.

 

1.4 Eligibility and Awards.

 

A. The persons eligible to participate in the Plan are as follows:

 

  1. Employees;

 

1


  2. Executive officers and other officers of any Parent or Subsidiary; and

 

  3. Consultants.

 

B. The Board shall initially issue to each Participant who is identified as of the date of the adoption of the Plan (the “Initial Participants”) 100% of the total number of shares of Restricted Preferred Stock issuable under the Plan (the “Initial Awards”).

 

C. Except for the Initial Awards and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Board shall have full authority to determine which eligible persons are to receive stock issuances, the time or times when such issuances are to be made, the number of shares to be issued to each Participant, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the issued shares and the consideration to be paid for such shares.

 

1.5 Stock Subject to the Plan.

 

A. Subject to Section 1.5.B and 1.5.C below, the stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Restricted Preferred Stock. The maximum number of shares of Restricted Preferred Stock that may be issued over the term of the Plan shall not exceed 1000 shares of Restricted Preferred Stock, unless increased in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

B. Unvested and vested shares of Restricted Preferred Stock issued under the Plan, and subsequently repurchased by the Corporation pursuant to the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Plan, shall be added back to the number of shares of Restricted Preferred Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan and shall be available for reissuance through one or more subsequent direct stock issuances under the Plan.

 

C. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, liquidation, split-up, split-off, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization affecting the Restricted Preferred Stock, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or series of securities issuable under the Plan, and (ii) the number and/or series of securities and the repurchase price per share in effect for each stock issuance hereunder in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of rights and benefits thereunder and to preserve the economic intent of the awards as determined, in good faith, by the Board; provided, however, in the event of a merger of the Corporation with an entity the common equity of which or that of its parent is registered with the SEC and in which the Restricted Preferred Stock is to be exchanged for such common equity (a “Registered Share Event”), the Board, prior to the consummation of the Registered Share Event, will modify Budgeted EBITDA for each of the remaining periods to reflect changes reasonably determined by the Board to reflect the combined operations and provided further, that notwithstanding such changes, in the event that the aggregate value of the securities issued in the merger to the stockholders of the Corporation (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, liquidation, split-up, split-off, spin-off or other change in capitalization affecting such securities and regardless of whether they still own any or all of such securities) equals or exceeds $175 million (based on the average closing price for such securities over any 30-day period after a Qualified Offering and on or before December 31, 2006), then all shares subject to vesting under Sections 2.1.B.1(b), (c) and (d) shall automatically vest in full

 

2


regardless of whether the vesting conditions set forth in those sections had been or will be satisfied. Further, following a Registered Share Event, (i) any Restricted Preferred Stock that does not vest with a Participant because of a failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence shall automatically vest pro-rata in and thereafter belong to the holders of the Corporation’s Class C Preferred Stock, Class B Preferred Stock and Class A-3 Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Registered Share Event (the “Investors”); and (ii) any Restricted Preferred Stock that is unvested due to an Initial Participant ceasing to remain in Service shall be distributed pro-rata to the remaining Initial Participants for a purchase price equal to the proportionate cash consideration paid for the surrendered shares. Any unvested Restricted Preferred Stock that is not purchased by the remaining Initial Participants will automatically vest pro-rata in and thereafter belong to the Investors.

 

ARTICLE TWO

2.1 Stock Issuance Terms.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, shares of Restricted Preferred Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program through direct and immediate issuances to such eligible persons as determined by the Board.

A. Purchase Price.

 

1. The purchase price for shares of Restricted Preferred Stock issued to the Initial Participants in connection with the Initial Awards shall be $1.00 per share. Except for the Initial Awards, the purchase price per share of Restricted Preferred Stock shall be fixed by the Board, in its sole discretion, and may be less than, equal to or greater than the fair market value per share of Restricted Preferred Stock on the stock issuance date.

 

2. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1 and except as may otherwise be required under applicable law, shares of Restricted Preferred Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program for a check made payable to the Corporation or for such other consideration as the Corporation deems appropriate.

 

B. Vesting Provisions.

 

1. Except as otherwise provided herein, Initial Awards issued to Participants hereunder will be subject to the following vesting schedule.

 

(a) 11.1112%, 11.1111% and 11.1111% of the total Award of Restricted Preferred Stock shall vest on each of the first, second and third annual anniversaries of the Effective Date (as defined below), respectively; provided, that, the Participant is providing Service to the Corporation on the relevant vesting dates.

 

(b) 11.1111% of the total Award of Restricted Preferred Stock shall vest on the date the Corporation’s audited financial statements are issued for the 2004 fiscal year; provided however, vesting shall not occur if the Corporation’s EBITDA for its 2004 fiscal year is not equal to

 

3


or greater than $24,558,000, exclusive of the impact of the receipt of the MCI pre-petition account receivable, for that period; provided, that, the Participant is providing Service to the Corporation on the vesting date.

 

(c) 11.1111% of the total Award of Restricted Preferred Stock shall vest on the date the Corporation’s audited financial statements are issued for the 2005 fiscal year; provided however, vesting shall not occur if the Corporation’s EBITDA for its 2005 fiscal year is not equal to or greater than $26,677,000 for that period; provided, that, the Participant is providing Service to the Corporation on the vesting date.

 

(d) 11.1111% of the total Award of Restricted Preferred Stock shall vest on the date the Corporation’s audited financial statements are issued for the 2006 fiscal year; provided however, vesting shall not occur if the Corporation’s EBITDA for its 2006 fiscal year is not equal to or greater than $28,972,000 for that period; provided, that, the Participant is providing Service to the Corporation on the vesting date.

 

(e) 33.3333% of the total Award of Restricted Preferred Stock shall vest upon (A) the refinancing, repayment or other termination of the Credit Agreement and (B) the repayment or other termination of the Company’s Subordinated Note dated September 25, 2001 in the original principal amount of $5,917,638, which is payable to First Union Investors, Inc.

 

2. The vesting schedule of any other Awards shall be determined by the Board in its discretion.

 

3. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend) that the Participant may have the right to receive with respect to the Participant’s shares of Restricted Preferred Stock by reason of any stock dividend, reverse stock split, stock split, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, liquidation, split-up, split-off, spin-off or other change in capitalization affecting the outstanding Restricted Preferred Stock shall be issued and delivered subject to (i) the same vesting requirements applicable to the Participant’s shares of Restricted Preferred Stock (i.e., the vesting requirements set forth in Section 2.1.B.1 above) and (ii) such escrow arrangement as the Board shall deem appropriate.

 

4. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and any Stock Issuance Agreement (each as may be amended from time to time), the Participant shall have full stockholder rights with respect to any shares of Restricted Preferred Stock issued to the Participant under the Stock Issuance Program, whether or not the Participant’s interest in those shares is vested. Accordingly, the Participant shall have the right to vote such shares and to receive any dividends paid on such shares (if such shares have any voting rights or right to receive dividends) in accordance with the corporate documents governing the shares.

 

5. If the Participant ceases to remain in Service while holding one or more unvested shares of Restricted Preferred Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program, then those unvested shares shall be immediately surrendered to the Corporation for cancellation, and the Participant shall have no further stockholder rights with respect to those shares. To the extent the surrendered shares were previously issued to the Participant for consideration paid in cash or a cash

 

4


equivalent, the Corporation shall pay the Participant the cash consideration paid for the surrendered shares. All vested shares of Restricted Preferred Stock may be repurchased by the Corporation, in its sole discretion, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Stock Issuance Agreement.

 

6. The Board may, in its sole discretion, waive in writing the surrender and cancellation of one or more unvested shares of Restricted Preferred Stock that would otherwise occur upon the cessation of the Participant’s Service. Such written waiver shall result in the immediate vesting of the Participant’s interest in the shares of Restricted Preferred Stock as to which the waiver applies. Such written waiver may be effected at any time, whether before or after the Participant’s cessation of Service.

 

7. In the event that the Corporation’s EBITDA does not equal or exceed Budgeted EBITDA for the applicable fiscal year specified in Section 2.1.B.1(b), (c) or (d) and the specified Restricted Preferred Stock does not vest, then the Corporation shall have the right to redeem such unvested Restricted Preferred Stock at the initial purchase price paid for such stock.

 

C. Involuntary Transfer. The Corporation shall have a right of first refusal with respect to any involuntary disposition by the Participant (or any successor-in-interest) of any shares of Restricted Preferred Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program, whether by operation of law, judicial proceeding or otherwise. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms established by the Board and set forth in the Stock Issuance Agreement. If any person or entity acquires any shares of Restricted Preferred Stock pursuant to an involuntary transfer, including, without limitation, by operation of law, judicial proceeding or otherwise, then such shares shall remain subject to the same restrictions as if such shares continued to be held by the Participant.

 

2.2 Liquidity Event.

 

In the event of any Liquidity Event other than a Qualified Offering, all outstanding shares of Restricted Preferred Stock shall immediately vest in full. In the event of a Qualified Offering, all outstanding shares of Restricted Preferred Stock shall immediately vest in full other than those shares subject to vesting under Sections 2.1.B.1(b), (c) and (d) which shares shall remain subject to the vesting schedule set forth in these sections.

 

2.3 Share Escrow.

 

All certificates representing any shares (whether vested or unvested) may, in the Board’s discretion, be held in escrow by the Corporation until such time as the shares of Restricted Preferred Stock are redeemed by the Corporation.

Board may issue shares under the Plan at any time after the effective date of the Plan and before the date fixed herein for termination of the Plan.

 

B. The Plan shall terminate upon the redemption of all outstanding shares of Restricted Preferred Stock in connection with a Liquidity Event or otherwise.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board shall have the authority to amend or modify the Plan in any or all respects. Except as otherwise provided herein, no such amendment or modification shall adversely affect any rights and/or obligations with respect to any Participant under the Plan, including, but not limited to, any shares of Restricted Preferred Stock (whether vested or not), the vesting schedule applicable to any Awards, any issuance of Restricted Preferred Stock or any Awards to the Participants, unless the Participant consents to such amendment or modification in writing. In addition, certain amendments (e.g., any amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) may require stockholder approval pursuant to applicable laws.

 

3.3 Use of Proceeds.

 

Subject to any restrictions or other provisions set forth in any agreements between the Corporation and third parties (including, without limitation, any loan documents, credit agreements or security documents), any cash proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of Restricted Preferred Stock under the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.

 

3.4 Withholding.

 

The Corporation’s obligation to issue shares of Restricted Preferred Stock under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements to which the Corporation is subject. As a condition to the receipt of any such shares, each Participant shall fully indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation for any withholding or other tax obligations that the Corporation may have with respect to any stock issuances to such Participant under the Plan, and each Participant will agree in the Stock Issuance Agreement that the Corporation will have a right to withhold any other payment that is or may become due (including, without limitation, any payments associated with the Restricted Preferred Stock) to any such Participant to satisfy such indemnification obligation.

 

3.5 Regulatory Approvals.

 

The implementation of the Plan and the issuance of any shares of Restricted Preferred Stock under the Plan shall be subject to the Corporation’s procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, if any, and the shares of Restricted Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to register the Plan or any Restricted Preferred Stock issued hereunder under the 1933 Act. If, after reasonable efforts, the Corporation is unable to obtain from any such regulatory authority, which counsel for the Corporation deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of

Restricted Preferred Stock under the Plan, the Corporation shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Restricted Preferred Stock unless and until such authority is obtained.

 

3.6 No Employment or Service Rights.

 

Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining such person) or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate such person’s Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause (subject to the existence of any written agreement to the contrary).

 

3.7 Not Subject to ERISA.

 

This Plan shall not be subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

The Corporation may, upon advice of counsel to the Corporation, place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Restricted Preferred Stock.

 

3.9 Severability.

 

The provisions of this Plan will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Plan is judicially determined not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the court judicially making such determination may modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its modified form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.
