2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Optionee: |
Company: | (Signature) |
Title: |
2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Incentive Stock Option | This option is intended to be an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and will be interpreted accordingly. If you cease to be an employee of the Company, its parent or a subsidiary (Employee) but continue to provide Service, this option will be deemed a nonstatutory stock option three months after you cease to be an Employee. In addition, to the extent that all or part of this option exceeds the $100,000 rule of section 422(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, this option or the lesser excess part will be deemed to be a nonstatutory stock option. | |
Vesting | This option is only exercisable before it expires and then only with respect to the vested portion of the option. Subject to the preceding sentence, you may exercise this option, in whole or in part, to purchase a whole number of vested shares not less than 100 shares, unless the number of shares purchased is the total number available for purchase under the option, by following the procedures set forth in the Plan and below in this Agreement. | |
No additional shares of Stock will vest after your Service has terminated for any reason. | ||
Term | Your option will expire in any event at the close of business at Company headquarters on the day before the 10th anniversary of the Grant Date, as shown on the cover sheet. Your option will expire earlier if your Service terminates, as described below. | |
Regular Termination | If your Service terminates for any reason, other than death, Disability or Cause, then your option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the 90th day after your termination date. | |
Termination for Cause | If your Service is terminated for Cause, then you shall immediately forfeit all rights to your option and the option shall immediately expire. | |
Death | If your Service terminates because of your death, then your option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date twelve (12) months after the date of death. During that twelve month period, your estate or heirs may exercise the vested portion of your option. |
2
In addition, if you die during the 90-day period described in connection with a regular termination (i.e., a termination of your Service not on account of your death, Disability or Cause), and a vested portion of your option has not yet been exercised, then your option will instead expire on the date twelve (12) months after your termination date. In such a case, during the period following your death up to the date twelve (12) months after your termination date, your estate or heirs may exercise the vested portion of your option. | ||
Disability | If your Service terminates because of your Disability, then your option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date twelve (12) months after your termination date. | |
Leaves of Absence | For purposes of this option, your Service does not terminate when you go on a bona fide employee leave of absence that was approved by the Company in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued Service crediting, or when continued Service crediting is required by applicable law. However, your Service will be treated as terminating 90 days after you went on employee leave, unless your right to return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract. Your Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends unless you immediately return to active employee work. | |
The Company determines, in its sole discretion, which leaves count for this purpose, and when your Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan. | ||
Notice of Exercise | When you wish to exercise this option, you must notify the Company by filing the proper Notice of Exercise form at the address given on the form. Your notice must specify how many shares you wish to purchase (in a parcel of at least 100 shares generally). Your notice must also specify how your shares of Stock should be registered (in your name only or in your and your spouses names as joint tenants with right of survivorship). The notice will be effective when it is received by the Company. | |
If someone else wants to exercise this option after your death, that person must prove to the Companys satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so. | ||
Form of Payment | When you submit your notice of exercise, you must include payment of the option price for the shares you are purchasing. Payment may be made in one (or a combination) of the following forms: |
3
| Cash, your personal check, a cashiers check, a money order or another cash equivalent acceptable to the Company. | |||
| Shares of Stock withheld by the Company from the Shares of Stock otherwise to be received, with such withheld Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate option price | |||
| Shares of Stock which have already been owned by you for more than six months and which are surrendered to the Company. The value of the shares, determined as of the effective date of the option exercise, will be applied to the option price. | |||
| To the extent a public market for the Stock exists as determined by the Company, by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company to sell Stock and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate option price and any withholding taxes. |
Withholding Taxes | You will not be allowed to exercise this option unless you make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of the option exercise or sale of Stock acquired under this option. In the event that the Company determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the exercise or sale of shares arising from this grant, the Company shall have the right to require such payments from you, or withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from the Company or any Affiliate. | |
Transfer of Option | During your lifetime, only you (or, in the event of your legal incapacity or incompetency, your guardian or legal representative) may exercise the option. You cannot transfer or assign this option. For instance, you may not sell this option or use it as security for a loan. If you attempt to do any of these things, this option will immediately become invalid. You may, however, dispose of this option in your will or it may be transferred upon your death by the laws of descent and distribution. | |
Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to honor a notice of exercise from your spouse, nor is the Company obligated to recognize your spouses interest in your option in any other way. |
4
Market Stand-off Agreement | In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, including the Companys initial public offering, you agree not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer for value or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to any shares of Stock without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters, for such period of time after the effective date of such registration statement as may be requested by the Company or the underwriters (not to exceed 180 days in length). | |
Investment Representation | If the sale of Stock under the Plan is not registered under the Securities Act, but an exemption is available which requires an investment or other representation, you shall represent and agree at the time of exercise that the Stock being acquired upon exercise of this option is being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel. | |
Certain Rights of First Refusal | In the event that you propose to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer to a third party any Stock acquired under this Agreement, or any interest in such Stock, the Company and certain of its stockholders shall have the Right of First Refusal with respect to all (and not less than all) of such shares of Stock. If you desire to transfer Stock acquired under this Agreement, you must give a written Transfer Notice to the Company and certain Investor Stockholders (as such terms is defined in the Companys Stockholder Agreement) describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of shares proposed to be transferred, the proposed transfer price and the name and address of the proposed transferee. | |
The Transfer Notice shall be signed both by you and by the proposed new transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of both parties to the transfer of the shares. The Company shall have the right to purchase all, and not less than all, of the shares of Stock on the terms of the proposal described in the Transfer Notice (subject, however, to any change in such terms permitted in the next paragraph) by delivery of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within ten (10) business days after the date when the Transfer Notice was received by the Company. The Investor Shareholders shall have the right to purchase all, and not less than all, of the shares of Stock not purchased by the Company |
5
on the terms of the proposal described in the Transfer Notice (subject, however, to any change in such terms permitted in the next paragraph) by delivery of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within twenty (20) business days after the date when the Transfer Notice was received by the Company. | ||
If the Company and the Investor Shareholders fail to exercise their respective Rights of First Refusal to purchase all the Stock within the allowed period, you may, not later than 120 days following receipt of the Transfer Notice by the Company, conclude a transfer of all, but not less than all, the Stock subject to the Transfer Notice on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by you, shall again be subject to the Rights of First Refusal and shall require compliance with the procedure described in the paragraph above. | ||
In the case of any purchase of Stock under this Right of First Refusal, at the option of the Company, the Company may pay you the purchase price in three or fewer annual installments. Interest shall be credited on the installments at the applicable federal rate (as determined for purposes of Section 1274 of the Code) in effect on the date on which the purchase is made. The Company shall pay at least one-third of the total purchase price each year, plus interest on the unpaid balance, with the first payment being made on or before the 60th day after the purchase. | ||
The Companys rights under this subsection shall be freely assignable, in whole or in part, shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns and shall be binding upon any transferee of the shares of Stock. | ||
The Rights of First Refusal shall terminate in the event that the Stock is listed on an established national or regional stock exchange, is admitted for quotation on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., or is publicly traded in an established securities market. | ||
Right to Repurchase | Following termination of your Service for any reason, the Company shall have the right to purchase all of those shares of Stock that you have or will acquire under this option. If the Company exercises its right to purchase the shares, the Company will notify you of its intention to purchase such shares, and will consummate the purchase within one year (or 90 days to the extent required by applicable law) of your termination of Service or, in the case of Stock acquired after your termination of |
6
Service, within one year (or 90 days to the extent required by applicable law) of the date of exercise. | ||
The purchase price shall be the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date of your termination of Service if the Company exercises its right to purchase such shares within 90 days of your termination of Service or exercises its right within 90 days of the date of your exercise of the option following termination of Service; otherwise the purchase price shall be the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date the Company gives you notice of its intent to exercise its right to purchase the shares. | ||
The Companys rights of repurchase shall terminate in the event that the Stock is listed on an established national or regional stock exchange, is admitted for quotation on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., or is publicly traded in an established securities market. | ||
Retention Rights | Neither your option nor this Agreement gives you the right to be retained by the Company (or any Parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) in any capacity. The Company (and any Parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time and for any reason. | |
Shareholder Rights | You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a shareholder of the Company until a certificate for your options shares has been issued (or an appropriate book entry has been made) and you, or your estate or heirs, have entered into and become a party to the Stockholders Agreement for the Company (as in effect from time to time). No adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your stock certificate is issued (or an appropriate book entry has been made), except as described in the Plan. | |
Forfeiture of Rights | If you should take actions in competition with the Company, the Company shall have the right to cause a forfeiture of your rights, including, but not limited to, the right to cause: (i) a forfeiture of any outstanding option, and (ii) with respect to the period commencing twelve (12) months prior to your termination of Service with the Company and ending twelve (12) months following such termination of Service (A) a forfeiture of any gain recognized by you upon the exercise of an option or (B) a forfeiture of any Stock acquired by you upon the exercise of an option (but the Company will pay you the option price without interest). Unless otherwise specified in an employment or other agreement between the Company and you, you take actions in competition with the Company if you directly or indirectly, own, manage, |
7
operate, join or control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or are a proprietor, director, officer, stockholder, member, partner or an employee or agent of, or a consultant to any business, firm, corporation, partnership or other entity which competes with any business in which the Company or any of its Affiliates is engaged during your employment or other relationship with the Company or its Affiliates or at the time of your termination of Service. Under the prior sentence, ownership of less than 1% of the securities of a public company shall not be treated as an action in competition with the Company. | ||
Adjustments | In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in the Stock, the number of shares covered by this option and the option price per share shall be adjusted (and rounded down to the nearest whole number) if required pursuant to the Plan. Your option shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity. | |
Legends | All certificates representing the Stock issued upon exercise of this option shall, where applicable, have endorsed thereon the following legends: | |
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE ACT), OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND CANNOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF REGISTRATION OR THE AVAILABILITY OF AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

Applicable Law | This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. |
8

Other Agreements | You agree, as a condition of the grant of this option, that in connection with the exercise of the option, you will execute such document(s) as necessary to become a party to the Stockholders Agreement (as in effect from time to time) or voting trust as the Company may require. | |
Certain Dispositions | If you sell or otherwise dispose of Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of this option following termination of the Companys Right of First Refusal and sooner than the one year anniversary of the date you acquired the Stock, then you agree to notify the Company in writing of the date of sale or disposition, the number of share of Stock sold or disposed of and the sale price per share within 30 days of such sale or disposition. |

2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Nonqualified Stock Option | This option is not intended to be an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and will be interpreted accordingly. | |
Vesting | This option is only exercisable before it expires and then only with respect to the vested portion of the option. Subject to the preceding sentence, you may exercise this option, in whole or in part, to purchase a whole number of vested shares not less than 100 shares, unless the number of shares purchased is the total number available for purchase under the option, by following the procedures set forth in the Plan and below in this Agreement. | |
Your right to purchase shares of Stock under this option vests as to one-fourth (1/4) of the total number of shares covered by this option, as shown on the cover sheet (the Option Shares), on the one-year anniversary of the Vesting Start Date (Anniversary Date), provided you then continue in Service. Thereafter, for each such vesting date that you remain in Service, the number of shares of Stock which you may purchase under this option shall vest at the rate of one-forty eighth (1/48) of the Option Shares per month as of the first day of each month following the month of the Anniversary Date. The resulting aggregate number of vested shares will be rounded to the nearest whole number, and you cannot vest in more than the number of shares covered by this option.] | ||
No additional shares of Stock will vest after your Service has terminated for any reason. | ||
Term | Your option will expire in any event at the close of business at Company headquarters on the day before the 10th anniversary of the Grant Date, as shown on the cover sheet. Your option will expire earlier if your Service terminates, as described below. | |

Termination for Cause | If your Service is terminated for Cause, then you shall immediately forfeit all rights to your option and the option shall immediately expire. |
11

In addition, if you die during the 90-day period described in connection with a regular termination (i.e., a termination of your Service not on account of your death, Disability or Cause), and a vested portion of your option has not yet been exercised, then your option will instead expire on the date twelve (12) months after your termination date. In such a case, during the period following your death up to the date twelve (12) months after your termination date, your estate or heirs may exercise the vested portion of your option. | ||
Disability | If your Service terminates because of your Disability, then your option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date twelve (12) months after your termination date. | |
Notice of Exercise | When you wish to exercise this option, you must notify the Company by filing the proper Notice of Exercise form at the address given on the form. Your notice must specify how many shares you wish to purchase (in a parcel of at least 100 shares generally). Your notice must also specify how your shares of Stock should be registered (in your name only or in your and your spouses names as joint tenants with right of survivorship). The notice will be effective when it is received by the Company. | |
If someone else wants to exercise this option after your death, that person must prove to the Companys satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so. | ||
Form of Payment | When you submit your notice of exercise, you must include payment of the option price for the shares you are purchasing. Payment may be made in one (or a combination) of the following forms: |
| Cash, your personal check, a cashiers check, a money order or another cash equivalent acceptable to the Company. | |||
| Shares of Stock which have already been owned by you for more than six months and which are surrendered to the Company. The value of the shares, determined as of the effective date of the option exercise, will be applied to the option price. |
12
| To the extent a public market for the Stock exists as determined by the Company, by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company to sell Stock and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate option price and any withholding taxes. |
Withholding Taxes | You will not be allowed to exercise this option unless you make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of the option exercise or sale of Stock acquired under this option. In the event that the Company determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the exercise or sale of shares arising from this grant, the Company shall have the right to require such payments from you, or withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from the Company or any Affiliate. | |
Transfer of Option | During your lifetime, only you (or, in the event of your legal incapacity or incompetency, your guardian or legal representative) may exercise the option.

Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to honor a notice of exercise from your spouse, nor is the Company obligated to recognize your spouses interest in your option in any other way. | ||
Market Stand-off Agreement | In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, including the Companys initial public offering, you agree not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer for value or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to any shares of Stock without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters, for such period of time after the effective date of such registration statement as may be requested by the Company or the underwriters (not to exceed 180 days in length). |
13
Investment Representation | If the sale of Stock under the Plan is not registered under the Securities Act, but an exemption is available which requires an investment or other representation, you shall represent and agree at the time of exercise that the Stock being acquired upon exercise of this option is being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel. | |
The Companys Right of First Refusal | In the event that you propose to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer to a third party any Stock acquired under this Agreement, or any interest in such Stock, the Company and certain of its stockholders shall have the Right of First Refusal with respect to all (and not less than all) of such shares of Stock.

The Investor Shareholders shall have the right to purchase all, and not less than all, of the shares of Stock not purchased by the Company on the terms of the proposal described in the Transfer Notice (subject, however, to any change in such terms permitted in the next paragraph) by delivery of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within twenty (20) business days after the date when the Transfer Notice was received by the Company. | ||
If the Company and the Investor Shareholders fail to exercise their respective Rights of First Refusal to purchase all the Stock within the allowed period, you may, not later than 120 days following receipt of the Transfer Notice by the Company, conclude a transfer of all, but not less than all, the Stock subject to the Transfer Notice on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any |
14
subsequent proposed transfer by you, shall again be subject to the Rights of First Refusal and shall require compliance with the procedure described in the paragraph above. | ||
In the case of any purchase of Stock under this Right of First Refusal, at the option of the Company, the Company may pay you the purchase price in three or fewer annual installments. Interest shall be credited on the installments at the applicable federal rate (as determined for purposes of Section 1274 of the Code) in effect on the date on which the purchase is made. | ||

The Rights of First Refusal shall terminate in the event that the Stock is listed on an established national or regional stock exchange, is admitted for quotation on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., or is publicly traded in an established securities market. | ||
Right to Repurchase | Following termination of your Service for any reason, the Company shall have the right to purchase all of those shares of Stock that you have or will acquire under this option.

The purchase price shall be the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date of your termination of Service if the Company exercises its right to purchase such shares within 90 days of your termination of Service or exercises its right within 90 days of the date of your exercise of the option following termination of Service; otherwise the purchase price shall be the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date the Company gives you notice of its intent to exercise its right to purchase the shares. |
15
The Companys rights of repurchase shall terminate in the event that the Stock is listed on an established national or regional stock exchange, is admitted for quotation on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., or is publicly traded in an established securities market. | ||

2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
Restricted Stock/ Nontransferability | This grant is an award of Stock in the number of shares set forth on the cover sheet, at the purchase price set forth on the cover sheet, and subject to the vesting conditions described below (Restricted Stock). To the extent not yet vested, your Restricted Stock may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Restricted Stock be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process. | |
Issuance and Vesting | The Company will issue your Restricted Stock in your name as of the Grant Date. | |
Your right to the Stock under this Restricted Stock Agreement vests as to one-fourth (1/4th) of the total number of shares of Stock covered by this grant, as shown on the cover sheet, on each of the first four one-year anniversaries of the Grant Date (each an Anniversary Date), provided you then continue in Service. If, however, such Anniversary Date occurs during a period in which you are (i) subject to a lock-up agreement restricting your ability to sell shares of Stock in the open market or (ii) restricted from selling shares of Stock in the open market because you are not then eligible to sell under the Companys insider trading or similar plan as then in effect (whether because a trading window is not open or you are otherwise restricted from trading), vesting in such shares of Stock will be delayed until the first date on which you are no longer prohibited from selling shares of Stock due to a lock-up agreement or insider trading plan restriction (the Vesting Date), and provided, further, that you have been continuously in Service to the Company or a Subsidiary from the Grant Date until the Vesting Date. The resulting aggregate number of vested shares of Stock will be rounded to the nearest whole number, and you cannot vest in more than the number of shares covered by this grant. | ||
No additional shares of Stock will vest after your Service has terminated for any reason. | ||
Forfeiture of Unvested Stock | In the event that your Service terminates for any reason, the Company will have the right to purchase all of the shares of Stock subject to this grant that have not yet vested (the Repurchase Right). If the Company fails to purchase such Stock within 90 days of your termination of Service, the |
20
Companys right to purchase such Stock shall terminate. The purchase price for any Stock repurchased shall be the price that you paid for those shares of Stock and shall be paid in cash. | ||
Escrow | [If the Company chooses to issue share certificates representing your Restricted Stock in lieu of using the book-entry method of share recordation,] the certificates for the Restricted Stock shall be deposited in escrow with the Secretary of the Company to be held in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. Each deposited certificate shall be accompanied by a duly executed Assignment Separate from Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The deposited certificates shall remain in escrow until such time or times as the certificates are to be released or otherwise surrendered for cancellation as discussed below. Upon delivery of the certificates to the Company, you shall be issued an instrument of deposit acknowledging the number of shares of Stock delivered in escrow to the Secretary of the Company. | |
All regular cash dividends on the Stock (or other securities at the time held in escrow) shall be paid directly to you and shall not be held in escrow. However, in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other change affecting the Companys outstanding common stock as a class effected without receipt of consideration or in the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in the Company Stock, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property which is by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to the Stock shall be immediately delivered to the Secretary of the Company to be held in escrow hereunder, but only to the extent the Stock is at the time subject to the escrow requirements hereof. | ||
The shares of Stock held in escrow hereunder shall be subject to the following terms and conditions relating to their release from escrow or their surrender to the Company for cancellation: |
| As your interest in the shares vests as described above, the certificates for such vested shares shall be released from escrow and delivered to you, at your request, in accordance with the following schedule: |
| The initial release of any vested shares (or other vested assets and securities) from escrow shall be effected within thirty (30) days following . | |||||
| Subsequent release of any vested shares from escrow shall be effected within thirty (30) days following . |
21
| Upon termination of your Service, any escrowed shares in which you are at the time vested shall be promptly released from escrow and any escrowed shares in which you are not vested at the time shall be cancelled without payment to you. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of the issuance of certificates under this Agreement and the use of an escrow arrangement, the Company may instead use the book-entry method of recording share issuance. | ||
Withholding Taxes | You agree, as a condition of this grant, that you will make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of the vesting of Stock acquired under this grant. In the event that the Company determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the vesting of shares arising from this grant, the Company shall have the right to require such payments from you, or withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from the Company or any Affiliate. | |
Section 83(b) Election | Under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), the difference between the purchase price paid for the shares of Stock and their fair market value on the date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to such shares lapse will be reportable as ordinary income at that time. For this purpose, forfeiture restrictions include the forfeiture as to unvested Stock described above. You may elect to be taxed at the time the shares are acquired, rather than when such shares cease to be subject to such forfeiture restrictions, by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the Grant Date. You will have to make a tax payment to the extent the purchase price is less than the fair market value of the shares on the Grant Date. No tax payment will have to be made to the extent the purchase price is at least equal to the fair market value of the shares on the Grant Date. The form for making this election is attached as Exhibit B hereto. Failure to make this filing within the thirty (30) day period will result in the recognition of ordinary income by you (in the event the fair market value of the shares as of the vesting date exceeds the purchase price) as the forfeiture restrictions lapse. |
22
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANYS, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF YOU REQUEST THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON YOUR BEHALF. YOU ARE RELYING SOLELY ON YOUR OWN ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO FILE ANY 83(b) ELECTION. | ||
Market Stand-off Agreement | In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act), including the Companys initial public offering, you agree not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer for value or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to any shares of vested Stock without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters, for such period of time after the effective date of such registration statement as may be requested by the Company or the underwriters (not to exceed 180 days in length). | |
Investment Representation | You hereby agree and represent, as a condition of this grant of Restricted Stock, that (i) you are acquiring the shares of Restricted Stock for investment for your own account and not with a view to, or intention of, or otherwise for resale in connection with, any distribution to any person or entity, (ii) neither the offer nor sale of the shares of Restricted Stock hereunder, or the shares of Restricted Stock themselves, have been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any applicable state securities laws and that the shares of Restricted Stock are being offered and sold to you by reason of and in reliance upon a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and exemptions from registration or qualification provisions of such applicable state or other jurisdictions securities laws which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein and the truth and accuracy of your representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings as set forth herein, (iii) no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company and that there can be no assurance that a public market will ever exist for the shares of Restricted Stock, (iv) you must, and are able to, bear the economic risk of your investment in the shares of Restricted Stock for an indefinite period of time and can afford a complete loss of your investment in the shares of Restricted |
23
Stock, (v) you are sophisticated in financial matters and have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the risks and benefits of your investment in the shares of Restricted Stock, (vi) [you are as of the date hereof an accredited investor as such term is defined under Rule 501 of the Securities Act], (vii) your principal place of residence is in the State of [ ] , and (viii) the Company has made available to you all documents that you have requested relating to the Company, the shares of Restricted Stock and your purchase of the shares of Restricted Stock, and you have had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the offering and sale of the shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to this Restricted Stock Agreement and have had full access to such other information concerning the Company and the shares of Restricted Stock as you deemed necessary or desirable. | ||
The Companys Right of First Refusal | In the event that you propose to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer to a third party any vested Stock acquired under this Agreement, or any interest in such Stock, the Company shall have the Right of First Refusal with respect to all (and not less than all) of such shares of Stock. If you desire to transfer vested Stock acquired under this Agreement, you must give a written Transfer Notice to the Company describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of shares proposed to be transferred, the proposed transfer price and the name and address of the proposed transferee. | |
The Transfer Notice shall be signed both by you and by the proposed new transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of both parties to the transfer of the shares. The Company shall have the right to purchase all, and not less than all, of the shares of Stock on the terms of the proposal described in the Transfer Notice (subject, however, to any change in such terms permitted in the next paragraph) by delivery of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within thirty (30) days after the date when the Transfer Notice was received by the Company. | ||
If the Company fails to exercise its Right of First Refusal within thirty (30) days after the date when it received the Transfer Notice, you may, not later than ninety (90) days following receipt of the Transfer Notice by the Company, conclude a transfer of the Stock subject to the Transfer Notice on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described |
24
in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by you, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance with the procedure described in the paragraph above. If the Company exercises its Right of First Refusal, the parties shall consummate the sale of the Stock on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice within sixty (60) days after the date when the Company received the Transfer Notice (or within such longer period as may have been specified in the Transfer Notice); provided, however, that in the event the Transfer Notice provided that payment for the Stock was to be made in a form other than lawful money paid at the time of transfer, the Company shall have the option of paying for the Stock with lawful money equal to the present value of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice. | ||
In the case of any purchase of Stock under this Right of First Refusal, at the option of the Company, the Company may pay you the purchase price in three or fewer annual installments. Interest shall be credited on the installments at the applicable federal rate (as determined for purposes of Section 1274 of the Code) in effect on the date on which the purchase is made. The Company shall pay at least one-third of the total purchase price each year, plus interest on the unpaid balance, with the first payment being made on or before the 60th day after the purchase. | ||
The Companys rights under this subsection shall be freely assignable, in whole or in part, shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns and shall be binding upon any transferee of the shares of Stock. | ||
The Companys Right of First Refusal shall terminate if the Stock is listed on an established national or regional stock exchange, is admitted for quotation on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., or is publicly traded in an established securities market. | ||
Repurchase Option for Vested Stock | In the event that your Service terminates for any reason, the Company shall have the option to purchase all of those shares of vested Stock that you have. The Company will notify you of its intention to purchase such shares, and will consummate the purchase within one year (or ninety (90) days to the extent required by applicable law) of your termination of Service. If the Company exercises its option to purchase such shares, the purchase price shall be the Fair Market Value of those shares on the date the Company gives you notice of its intent to exercise its repurchase option (or in the event the Company repurchases your Stock within ninety (90) days of your termination of |
25
Service, the purchase price shall be the Fair Market Value of those shares on the date of your termination of Service). The Companys option to repurchase vested Stock shall terminate in the event that the Stock is listed on an established national or regional stock exchange, is admitted for quotation on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., or is publicly traded in an established securities market. | ||
Retention Rights | This Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company (or any of its Affiliates) in any capacity. The Company (and any Affiliates) reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time and for any reason. | |
Shareholder Rights | You have the right to vote the Restricted Stock and to receive any dividends declared or paid on such stock. Any distributions you receive as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or other similar transaction shall be deemed to be a part of the Restricted Stock and subject to the same conditions and restrictions applicable thereto. The Company may in its sole discretion require any dividends paid on the Restricted Stock to be reinvested in shares of Stock, which the Company may in its sole discretion deem to be a part of the shares of Restricted Stock and subject to the same conditions and restrictions applicable thereto. Except as described in the Plan, no adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your stock certificate is issued. | |
Forfeiture of Rights | [If you should take actions in competition with the Company, the Company shall have the right to cause a forfeiture of your rights, and with respect to those shares vesting during the period commencing twelve (12) months prior to your termination of Service with the Company due to taking actions in competition with the Company, the right to cause a forfeiture of any Stock acquired by you upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock (but the Company will pay you the purchase price without interest).] | |
