Execution Version

REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

This REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 6th day of May 2014, between inContact, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and                      (the “Holder”). Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in Section 11 of this Agreement.

Recitals

A. The Company and Holder, together with other persons, are parties to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 6, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company issued to Holder 99,315 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001, that the Company and Holder have agreed will be subject to the terms of this Agreement (the “Shares”).

B. As partial consideration for the Company entering into the Merger Agreement and closing the transactions contemplated thereby, the Holder agreed to enter into this Agreement granting to the Company the right to repurchase the Shares on the occurrence of certain events.

Agreement

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, which are incorporated herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Repurchase Right. In the event the Holder ceases to be a full-time employee of the Company or its subsidiaries for any reason other than (a) Holder’s death, (b) Holder’s Disability, (c) termination by the Company for any reason other than Just Cause, or (d) termination by the Holder for Good Reason, the Company shall, from the date of such cessation of service (the “End of Service Date”), have an irrevocable, exclusive option to repurchase (the “Repurchase Option”) any Shares that have not been released from the Repurchase Option as of the End of Service Date (the “Unreleased Shares”), at a price per share (the “Repurchase Price”) equal to the lesser of the fair market value of the Unreleased Shares on the End of Service Date (as determined by the Company’s board of directors) and $0.01 per Share.

2. Exercise. The Company shall give written notice to the Holder, with a copy to the Escrow Holder, stating whether it is exercising its Repurchase Option within 60 days following the End of Service Date. If the Repurchase Option is exercised, within 90 days following the End of Service Date the Company shall deliver payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price to the Holder (with a copy to the Escrow Holder) by delivering to the Holder or the Holder’s executor a check in the amount of the aggregate Repurchase Price, and upon such payment all Unreleased Shares shall be deemed sold and transferred to the Company. Upon receipt of notice of payment of the Repurchase Price from the Company, the Escrow Holder will, without further order or instruction, transmit to the Company the certificates for the Unreleased Shares with the Assignment Separate from Certificate. If the Company elects not to exercise the Repurchase Option or fails to give written notice to Holder within 60 days following the End of


Service Date, all Unreleased Shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option and the Escrow Holder will, upon the written request of Holder, transmit to the Holder the certificates for the Unreleased Shares.

3. Release of Shares from Repurchase Option.

(a) So long as the Holder continues to be a full-time employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, 33,105 shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the date of this Agreement (the “Restriction Period”).

(b) Upon the earlier of (i) immediately prior to the consummation of a Change in Control of the Company and (ii) the date on which the Holder’s full-time employment with the Company and its subsidiaries ceases due to (a) Holder’s death, (b) Holder’s Disability, (c) termination by the Company for any reason other than Just Cause, or (d) termination by the Holder for Good Reason, all Unreleased Shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option.

(c) Upon release of the Repurchase Option on any of the Shares pursuant to Section 3(a), the Escrow Holder will, without further order or instruction, transmit to the Holder the certificates evidencing such Shares. Upon release of the Repurchase Option pursuant to Section 3(b), the Holder shall give written notice to the Company, with a copy to the Escrow Holder, stating the number of Shares released from the Repurchase Option and describing the circumstances giving rise to the release. Upon receipt of notice of release from the Holder, the Escrow Holder will, without further order or instruction, transmit to the Holder the certificates for the Shares released from the Repurchase Option.

4. Escrow of Stock. For purposes of facilitating the enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement, the Holder is delivering the certificate(s) for the Shares, together with an Assignment Separate from Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, executed in blank by the Holder with respect to each such stock certificate (with Medallion signature Guaranty), to the Secretary of the Company, or its designee (the “Escrow Holder”), to hold in escrow in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with the authority to take all such actions and to effectuate all such transfers and/or releases as may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the objectives of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof. The Holder hereby acknowledges that the appointment of the Secretary of the Company (or its designee) as the Escrow Holder hereunder with the stated authorities is a material inducement to the Company to make this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and that such appointment is coupled with an interest and is accordingly irrevocable. The Holder agrees that the Shares may be held electronically in a book entry system maintained by the Company’s transfer agent or other third party and that all of the terms and conditions of this Section 4 applicable to certificated Shares will apply with the same force and effect to such electronic method for holding the Shares. The Holder agrees that the Escrow Holder shall not be liable to any party hereto (or to any other party) for any actions or omissions unless such Escrow Holder is grossly negligent relative thereto. The Escrow Holder may rely upon any letter, notice or other document executed by any signature purported to be genuine and may resign at any time. So long as the Company has not provided written notice of its exercise of the Repurchase Option in accordance with Section 2, the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Shares.

5. Additional Securities and Distributions.

(a) Any securities or cash received (other than a regular cash dividend) as the result of ownership of the Shares (the “Additional Securities”), including, but not by way of limitation, warrants, options and securities received as a stock dividend or stock split, or as a result of a recapitalization or reorganization or other similar change in the Company’s capital structure, shall be retained in escrow in the same manner and subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Unreleased Shares with respect to which they were issued, including, without limitation, the Repurchase Option, set forth in the Agreement applicable to the Unreleased Shares during the Restriction Period. The Holder shall be entitled to direct the Company to exercise any warrant or option received as Additional Securities upon supplying the funds necessary to do so, in which event the securities so purchased shall constitute Additional Securities, but the Holder may not direct the Company to sell any such warrant or option. If Additional Securities consist of a convertible security, the Holder may exercise any conversion right, and any securities so acquired shall constitute Additional Securities. In the event of any change in certificates evidencing the Shares or the Additional Securities by reason of any recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction that results in the creation of Additional Securities, the Escrow Holder is authorized to deliver to the issuer the certificates evidencing the Shares or the Additional Securities in exchange for the certificates of the replacement securities.

(b) The Company shall disburse to the Holder all regular cash dividends with respect to the Shares and Additional Securities (whether vested or not), less any applicable withholding obligations.

(c) In the event that the Repurchase Option is exercised or deemed exercised, the sole right and remedy of the Holder thereafter with respect to the Unreleased Shares shall be to receive the Repurchase Price, and in no case shall the Holder have any claim of ownership as to any of the Unreleased Shares.

6. Restrictions on Transfer. No Unreleased Shares subject to the Repurchase Option, nor any beneficial interest in such Shares, shall be sold, gifted, transferred, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) by the Holder, other than as expressly permitted or required by this Agreement. In order to ensure compliance with the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Unreleased Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Unreleased Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Unreleased Shares shall have been so transferred. The Grantee understands and agrees that the Company shall cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares together with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by state or federal securities laws:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE RESTRICTED BY THE TERMS OF THAT CERTAIN REPURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE NAMED STOCKHOLDER. THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

 

3


Upon the release of the Repurchase Option with respect to any of the Shares pursuant to Section 3(a) or 3(b), the Company will issue replacement certificate(s) to the Holder evidencing such released Shares that do not bear such legend.

7. Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the state of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the state of Delaware to the rights and duties of the parties. Should any provision of this Agreement be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain enforceable.

8. Construction. The captions used in this Agreement are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed a part of the Agreement for construction or interpretation. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular.

9. Venue. The parties agree that any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought in any federal or state court located in the State of Delaware and that the parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection the party may have to the laying of venue for any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court. If any one or more provisions of this Section 9 shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, it is the specific intent of the parties that such provisions shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it or its application valid and enforceable. In any action or other proceeding to enforce any of the terms hereof seek relief for any breach hereof, the non-prevailing party shall reimburse the prevailing party for reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred, including costs of appeal and enforcing any judgment.

10. Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered to any party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered, given and received: (a) if delivered by hand, when delivered; (b) if sent via facsimile with confirmation of receipt, when transmitted and receipt is confirmed; (c) if sent by electronic mail, telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission, upon delivery; (d) if sent by registered, certified or first class mail, the third business day after being sent; and (e) if sent by overnight delivery via a national courier service, one business day after being sent, in each case to the address, email address or facsimile telephone number set forth beneath the name of such party below (or to such other address, email address or facsimile telephone number as such party shall have specified in a written notice given to the other parties hereto):
