Proxy Statement
Our board of directors is soliciting your proxy for use at our Special Meeting of Stockholders to be held at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, March 6, 2007 and at any adjournments of the meeting. This proxy statement and accompanying proxy are first being sent or given to stockholders on or about February 14, 2007.
The principal business expected to be transacted at the meeting, as more fully described in this proxy statement, will be the amendment and restatement of our 2005 Incentive Plan.
The authority granted by an executed proxy may be revoked at any time before its exercise by filing with our Secretary a written revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by voting in person at the meeting.
We will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies, including the charges and expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding solicitation material to beneficial owners of stock. In addition to the use of mails, proxies may be solicited by our officers and employees in person or by telephone.
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on February 8, 2007 will be entitled to vote at the meeting. On that date, we had outstanding 19,206,131 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, and each of the shares is entitled to one vote. The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of a majority in interest of the voting capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Broker non-votes are proxies submitted by brokers that do not indicate a vote for one or more proposals because the brokers do not have discretionary voting authority and have not received instructions from the beneficial owners on how to vote on these proposals.
PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE 2005 INCENTIVE PLAN
Summary of the Existing 2005 Incentive Plan
This summary of our existing 2005 Incentive Plan (the“Plan”) is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan which is included as Appendix A to this proxy statement.
The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company by providing stock-based and other incentive awards to our key employees, directors, consultants and advisors.
The Plan provides for the grant of both incentive and nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, unrestricted stock awards, stock units, performance awards, cash awards or other awards convertible into common stock. As of February 8, 2007, under the Plan there were:
| | |
| • | 1,040,000 shares of our common stock authorized for issuance; |
|
| • | 1,040,000 shares of our common stock subject to outstanding options; and |
|
| • | No shares of our common stock available for future awards under the Plan. |
The shares are subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and certain transactions affecting our capital stock. As of February 8, 2007, approximately 103 employees were eligible for grants under the Plan. The Plan will expire on November 16, 2015. The closing price of our common stock on February 8, 2007 was $6.08 per share, as reported by The Nasdaq Global Market.
Administration and Eligibility
Our Compensation Committee administers our 2005 Incentive Plan and determines the terms and conditions of each award, including:
| | |
| • | the number of underlying shares; |
|
| • | the vesting schedule; |
|
| • | the duration; and |
|
| • | the form of payment of the exercise price. |
For option grants to employees who are not officers, the Compensation Committee may approve an aggregate amount and delegate authority to one or more of the officers to allocate individual grants.
The per share exercise price of an award requiring exercise shall not be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. In any calendar year, our Compensation Committee may not grant to any person:
| | |
| • | options or stock appreciation rights representing more than 780,000 shares of our common stock; |
|
| • | other awards representing more than 140,000 shares of our common stock; or, |
|
| • | cash awards greater than $2,000,000. |
These limits are subject to adjustment for changes in our structure or capitalization that affect the number of outstanding shares of our common stock.
We make awards to our directors, employees and consultants based upon their anticipated contribution to the achievement of our objectives and other relevant matters. Because future awards will be within the discretion of our Compensation Committee (and of our executive officers with respect to grants to employees who are not officers), it is not possible to predict to whom future awards will be granted under the plan or the number of shares underlying any award.

Description of Proposed Amendments to the Plan
On January 24, 2007, our board of directors approved, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to the 2005 Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the plan by 850,000 shares, making a total of 1,890,000 shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance. This summary of the proposed amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text set forth in our 2005 Incentive Plan which is included as Appendix A to this proxy statement.
New Plan Benefits
The number of options that will be received or allocated in 2007 to the named Executive Officers (as defined under“Executive Compensation” below), all current executive officers as a group, all current directors who are not executive officers as a group and all current employees who are not executive officers as a group, is not determinable at this time. Therefore, the following table sets forth the benefits which would have been received or allocated in 2006 by the persons and groups listed below with respect to the amended 2005 Incentive Plan based on: (i) the market value of the options to purchase common stock issued during 2006, based on a closing price of $6.08 per share on The Nasdaq Global Market on February 8, 2007, minus the exercise price of such options; and (ii) the number of options to purchase shares of common stock issued under the Plan for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Federal Income Tax Consequences Relating to our 2005 Incentive Plan
Nonstatutory stock options. An optionee does not realize taxable income when a nonstatutory option is granted. When the option is exercised, the optionee recognizes ordinary income (subject to withholding if the
3
optionee is an employee) in an amount equal to the difference between the amount paid for the shares and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise. Subject to certain limitations of the Internal Revenue Code, we are allowed a tax deduction for the same amount. When the shares are disposed of, any additional gain or loss is treated as short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holder’s holding period in the shares. We are not allowed any additional tax deduction. Special rules may apply if the exercise price is paid by tendering our stock.
Incentive stock options. An optionee does not realize taxable income when an incentive stock option is granted or, except as discussed in the next paragraph, exercised. A taxable event occurs when the shares are disposed of. The tax treatment depends on how long the shares are held before the disposition. When shares that have been held for two years from the date of grant and one year from the date of exercise are disposed of, any amount realized in excess of the amount paid for the shares will be taxed to the optionee as long-term capital gain and any loss will be a long-term capital loss. We are not allowed a tax deduction for the amount realized by the optionee. If an optionee disposes of the shares before meeting the one-year and two-year holding periods, the disposition constitutes a “disqualifying disposition,” and an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise (or, if less, the amount realized on a sale of shares to an unrelated party), over the amount paid for the shares is taxed to the optionee as ordinary income. Subject to certain limitations of the Internal Revenue Code, we are allowed a tax deduction for the income realized by an optionee in a disqualifying disposition. Any further gain recognized will be short-term or long-term capital gain and will not result in any deduction for us. Special rules may apply if the exercise price is paid by tendering our stock.
The excess of the fair market value of the option shares on the date of exercise of an incentive stock option over the exercise price will be included in alternative minimum taxable income for the purpose of calculating the optionee’s alternative minimum tax (AMT) in the year of exercise. AMT is based on the amount of the taxpayer’s alternative minimum taxable income that exceeds an exemption amount. Alternative minimum taxable income is the taxpayer’s taxable income with adjustments to reflect special tax treatment of certain items (including incentive stock options). The taxpayer is required to pay the higher of the regular income tax or AMT. For purposes of computing AMT in the year the stock is sold, any gain on the sale is reduced by the amount included in alternative minimum taxable income in the year of exercise. If a taxpayer is required to pay AMT as a result of the exercise of an incentive stock option, the taxpayer may be able to credit a portion of AMT against regular tax liability in later years. A disqualifying disposition in the year of exercise will generally avoid the AMT consequences of exercise of an incentive stock option.
Vote Required
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of our outstanding common stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on this matter will constitute the approval of the amendment to our 2005 Incentive Plan. For the purposes of this proposal, broker non-votes will have no effect and abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Overview
Our compensation committee makes decisions and recommendations regarding salaries, annual bonuses and equity incentive compensation for our directors and executive officers. It is also responsible for reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the chief executive officer and our other executive officers, as well as evaluating their performance in light of those goals and objectives. Based on this evaluation, the compensation committee, either as a committee or together with the other independent directors, determines and approves the chief executive officer’s and other executive officers’ compensation. The committee solicits input from our chief executive officer regarding the performance of the company’s other executive officers. Finally, the compensation committee also administers our incentive compensation and benefit plans.
The chief executive officer reviews our compensation plan annually and compares them to similarly situated companies using publicly available compensation data, such as the Radford Global Life Sciences Survey published by Aon Consulting, Inc., for national and regional companies in the biopharmaceutical industry. Based on these analyses, the chief executive officer recommends a level of compensation to the compensation committee which he views as appropriate to attract, retain and motivate executive talent. The compensation committee, either as a committee or together with the other independent directors, then determines and approves the chief executive officer’s, other executive officers’ and other officers’ compensation.
Our Compensation Objective
Our compensation committee seeks to compensate our executive officers by combining short- and long-term cash and equity incentives. It also seeks to reward the achievement of corporate and individual performance objectives, and to align executives’ incentives with stockholder value creation.
The compensation committee seeks to tie individual goals to the area of the executive officer’s primary responsibility. These goals may include the achievement of specific research and development, financial or business development goals. The compensation committee seeks to set company performance goals that reach across all business areas and include achievements in research and development, finance/business development and corporate development.
Compensation Components
Our compensation consists primarily of three elements: base salary, annual bonus and long-term equity incentives. We describe each element of compensation in more detail below.
Base Salary
Base salaries for our executives are established based on the scope of their responsibilities and their prior relevant experience, taking into account competitive market compensation paid by other companies in our industry for similar positions and the overall market demand for such executives at the time of hire. An executive’s base salary is also determined by reviewing the executive’s other compensation to ensure that the executive’s total compensation is in line with our overall compensation philosophy.
Base salaries are reviewed annually and increased for merit reasons, based on the executives’ success in meeting or exceeding individual performance objectives. Additionally, we adjust base salaries as warranted throughout the year for promotions or other changes in the scope or breadth of an executive’s role or responsibilities.
Annual Bonus
Our compensation program includes eligibility for an annual incentive cash bonus. The committee assesses the level of the executive officer’s achievement of meeting individual goals, as well as that executive
5
officer’s contribution towards our long-term, company-wide goals. Given the industry in which we operate and the long time horizons for bringing our products to the market, the compensation committee does not utilize strict target levels for awarding an annual bonus. Instead, our compensation committee may consider factors such as qualitative achievements in research and development, finance/business development and corporate development.
Long-Term Equity Incentives
We believe that equity-based awards allow us to reward executive officers for their sustained contributions to the company. We also believe that equity awards reward continued employment by an executive officer, with an associated benefit to us of employee continuity and retention. The compensation committee believes that incentive stock options provide management with a strong link to long-term corporate performance and the creation of stockholder value. Our 1998 Stock Option Plan, 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and 2005 Incentive Plan allow us the opportunity to grant stock options and other equity-based awards. The compensation committee does not award options according to a prescribed formula or target. Since our executive officers generally do not have control over the outcome of certain clinical trials or regulatory approvals, the compensation committee instead generally considers design and management of processes in determining award amounts, as well as position of the executive, the amount of annual bonus paid to the executive officer in cash and the cash position of the company.
Our practice is to make annual equity awards as part of our overall compensation program. A review of each component of the executive’s compensation is conducted when determining annual equity awards to ensure that an executive’s total compensation furthers with our overall philosophy and objectives.
Other Compensation
We maintain broad-based benefits and perquisites that are provided to all employees including health insurance, life and disability insurance, dental insurance and a 401(k) plan, including matching contributions. We also reimburse the Chief Executive Officer up to $36,000, grossed up for taxes, to cover his commuting expenses and pay the premiums on a $500,000 term life insurance policy. Generally in connection with new hires, we grant options to purchase shares of common stock in an amount commensurate with the individual’s experience and the responsibilities of the position. In certain limited instances, as determined on acase-by-case basis, we provide signingand/or performance bonuses for new hires and may reimburse for certain relocation expenses.
Termination Based Compensation
Severance. With the exception of Messrs. Erck, Glenn and Wilson, upon termination of employment, none of our employees are entitled to receive severance payments. For payments due to Messrs. Erck, Glenn and Wilson, please see“Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”
Acceleration of vesting of equity-based awards. In the event of a change of control under our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan or 2005 Incentive Plan, certain provisions exist to allow for accelerated of vesting equity awards.
Determination of 2006 Compensation
The Compensation of Our Chief Executive Officer
We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Erck as of May 18, 2000, which was amended on December 1, 2005. Mr. Erck’s compensation is governed largely by his employment agreement with us. Under that agreement, Mr. Erck earned a salary of $346,710 and a bonus of $187,223 for 2006. In February 2006, we awarded him 250,000 options, which vest over four years.
6
The Compensation of Our Other Executive Officers
The process for setting the total compensation and the mix of elements for the other executive officers is similar to that used for Mr. Erck. Upon a review of the individual performance measures established for each executive officer, the compensation committee determined that the overall performance of each such executive officer supported awarding the officers base salaries in 2006 in the range of $230,790 to $293,055 and bonuses in the range of $88,277 to $101,104. Additionally, the executive officers were awarded in 2006 125,000 options each, which vest over four years.
Conclusion
Our compensation practices are designed to retain, motivate and reward our executive officers for their performance and contributions to our long-term success.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
The compensation committee of the board of directors has reviewed and discussed with management the foregoing “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” and based on such review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” be included in this proxy statement on Schedule 14A for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our compensation package for named executive officers consists of base salary, an annual bonus and long term equity incentives. In light of our stage of development and the importance of achieving our long- and short-term strategic objectives, considerable emphasis is placed on the annual bonus and long-term equity incentives of the total compensation package. Mr. Erck has an employment agreement providing a minimum base salary. This agreement entitles him to participate in employee benefit and fringe benefit plans and programs made available to executives generally. Additionally, it provides for the reimbursement of reasonable, customary and necessary travel expenses. For our executives, all other compensation items including perquisites comprise a small portion of overall total compensation.
We grant stock options and other equity-based awards to our executive officers under our 1998 Stock Option Plan, our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and our 2005 Incentive Plan. Our stock option program is designed to directly align the long-term financial interests of our executive officers and our stockholders, to assist in the retention of executive officers by providing meaningful ownership interest in Iomai that vests over time, and to encourage our executive officers to think and act like owners of the business. Our policy is to generally make awards with a four year vesting period. The exercise price for all stock options granted in 2006 equaled the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. We did not grant any awards of common stock, other than options, to executive officers in 2006.
We typically grant stock options to new executive officers when they start employment and on an annual basis and upon promotions to positions of greater responsibility. In determining the size of an annual executive grant we consider the position level, the degree to which the executive’s contributions impacted our results in the past year, the importance of the executive’s skills to our future success, the size of the executive’s current equity position, and competitive market benchmarks.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control
We have entered into certain agreements and maintain certain plans that may require us to make certain paymentsand/or provide certain benefits to the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table in the event of a termination of employment or a change of control. The following tables summarize the potential payments to each named executive officer assuming that the triggering event occurred on December 31, 2006, the last day of our fiscal year. We have assumed a price per share of our common stock of $4.98, which was the closing price of our stock on December 29, 2006, the last trading day of the year.
Our Chief Executive Officer
Under Mr. Erck’s employment agreement, if there is a change of control as defined in the agreement and we terminate Mr. Erck without Cause or if he terminates his employment for Good Reason, he is entitled to a cash payment equal to twice (A) his then current annual base compensation, plus (B) the higher of his target incentive bonus for that year or his actual incentive bonus. Mr Erck also is entitled to coverage under our medical plans for twelve months following the date of termination. In addition, in the event of a change of control, a termination by the company for other than Cause or a termination by Mr. Erck for Good Reason, all of his unvested options immediately vest and become exercisable.
Also, under his employment agreement, in the event of termination without Cause or with Good Reason, Mr. Erck is entitled to a lump sum payment in the amount of his then current base salary, net of any taxes required by law. The company also will continue, for twelve months following his termination, to pay the premiums under the company’s healthand/or dental plans for him and his dependents.
Under Mr. Erck’s employment agreement,“Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events:
i. a material reduction in authority or areas of responsibility;
| | |
| ii. | his base compensation is reduced by an amount greater than five percent his base compensation prior to such reduction; or |
iii. he ceases to be a member of the board of directors for any reason other than for Cause.

| | |
| • | We valued stock options using the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on December 29, 2006, which was $4.98 per share, utilizing the same assumptions that we utilize under SFAS 123(R) for our financial reporting. |
|
| • | We assumed in each case that termination is not for cause, the executive does not violate his or her non-competition or non-solicitation agreements with us following termination, the executive does not receive medical and life insurance coverage from another employer within one year of termination or change of control (or, in the case of a termination absent a change in control, within the remaining term of the agreement, if longer) and the executive does not incur legal fees requiring reimbursement from us. |
|
| • | We used the same assumptions for health care benefits that we used for our financial reporting under generally accepted accounting principles. |
|
| • | We included the estimated present value of accelerating any award of stock options that is accelerated upon a termination of employment or termination of employment and change of control. On the case of a termination and change of control, we assumed that all such awards would be cashed out at closing. See the table titled“Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End 2006” for information regarding unvested equity awards. |
|
| • | We included estimated taxgross-up payments forchange-of-control excise taxes. |
|
| • | We assumed 36 days of accrued vacation for Mr. Erck based on the number of days he had available on December 31, 2006. |
Our Other Executive Officers
We have also entered into change of control agreements with Messrs. Glenn and Wilson as of December 1, 2005 that provide that if, after a change of control as defined in their respective agreements, such officer is terminated without Cause or if such officer terminates his employment for Good Reason, each of them is entitled to a cash payment equal to his then current annual base salary, plus the higher of his target incentive bonus for that year or his actual incentive bonus, as well as coverage under our medical plans for twelve months following the date of termination. In addition, any unvested employee stock options granted to either of them after their respective agreements became effective shall immediately vest and become exercisable. The definition of“change of control” for the purposes of these agreements includes, among other things, the acquisition by an individual, entity or group of 40% or more of either our then outstanding common stock or the combined voting power of our outstanding securities.

(iii) the consummation of a merger, unless following such merger (A) the Persons who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Stock and of the combined voting power of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to the merger beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the entity resulting from or surviving in such merger and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the entity resulting from or surviving in such merger, (B) no Person (excluding any entity resulting from or surviving in such merger or an employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the entity resulting from or surviving in the Merger) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 40% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the entity resulting from or surviving in such merger or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such entity entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the merger and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the entity resulting from or surviving in such merger were Incumbent Directors at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the board of directors, providing for such merger;
(iv) the stockholders of the company approve the complete liquidation or dissolution of the company; or

APPENDIX A
2005 Incentive Plan
Exhibit A, which is incorporated by reference, defines the terms used in the Plan and sets forth certain operational rules related to those terms.
The Plan has been established to advance the interests of the Company by providing for the grant to Participants of Stock-based and other incentive Awards.
The Administrator has discretionary authority, subject only to the express provisions of the Plan, to interpret the Plan; determine eligibility for and grant Awards; determine, modify or waive the terms and conditions of any Award; prescribe forms, rules and procedures; and otherwise do all things necessary to carry out the purposes of the Plan. In the case of any Award intended to be eligible for the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m), the Administrator will exercise its discretion consistent with qualifying the Award for that exception. Determinations of the Administrator made under the Plan will be conclusive and will bind all parties.

4. | Limits on Awards Under the Plan |
(a) Number of Shares. A maximum of 1,040,0001 shares of Stock may be delivered in satisfaction of Awards under the Plan. The number of shares of Stock delivered in satisfaction of Awards shall, for purposes of the preceding sentence, be determined net of shares of Stock withheld by the Company in payment of the exercise price of the Award or in satisfaction of tax withholding requirements with respect to the Award. The limit set forth in this Section 4(a) shall be construed to comply with Section 422 of the Code and regulations thereunder. To the extent consistent with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code and regulations thereunder, and with other applicable legal requirements (including applicable listing requirements), Stock issued under awards of an acquired company that are converted, replaced, or adjusted in connection with the acquisition shall not reduce the number of shares available for Awards under the Plan.
(b) Type of Shares. Stock delivered by the Company under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Stock or previously issued Stock acquired by the Company. No fractional shares of Stock will be delivered under the Plan.
(c) Section 162(m) Limits. The maximum number of shares of Stock for which Stock Options may be granted to any person in any calendar year and the maximum number of shares of Stock subject to SARs granted to any person in any calendar year will each be 780,000. The maximum number of shares subject to other Awards granted to any person in any calendar year will be 140,000 shares. The maximum amount payable to any person in any year under Cash Awards will be $2 million. The foregoing provisions will be construed in a manner consistent with Section 162(m).

5. | Eligibility and Participation |

A-1

| |
6. | Rules Applicable to Awards |
(a) All Awards
(1) Award Provisions. The Administrator will determine the terms of all Awards, subject to the limitations provided herein. By accepting any Award granted hereunder, the Participant agrees to the terms of the Award and the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, awards of an acquired company that are converted, replaced or adjusted in connection with the acquisition may contain terms and conditions that are inconsistent with the terms and conditions specified herein, as determined by the Administrator.
(2) Term of Plan. No Awards may be made after November 16, 2015, but previously granted Awards may continue beyond that date in accordance with their terms.
(3) Transferability. Neither ISOs nor, except as the Administrator otherwise expressly provides, other Awards may be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during a Participant’s lifetime. ISOs (and, except as the Administrator otherwise expressly provides, other non-transferable Awards requiring exercise) may be exercised only by the Participant.
(4) Vesting, Etc. The Administrator may determine the time or times at which an Award will vest or become exercisable and the terms on which an Award requiring exercise will remain exercisable. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator may at any time accelerate the vesting or exercisability of an Award, regardless of any adverse or potentially adverse tax consequences resulting from such acceleration. Unless the Administrator expressly provides otherwise, however, the following rules will apply: immediately upon the cessation of the Participant’s Employment, each Award requiring exercise that is then held by the Participant or by the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, will cease to be exercisable and will terminate, and all other Awards that are then held by the Participant or by the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, to the extent not already vested will be forfeited, except that:
(A) subject to (B), (C) and (D) below, all Stock Options and SARs held by the Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Participant’s Employment, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) a period of three months or (ii) the period ending on the latest date on which such Stock Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section 6(a)(4), and will thereupon terminate;
(B) all Stock Options and SARs held by a Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the Participant’s death, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) the one year period ending with the first anniversary of the Participant’s death or (ii) the period ending on the latest date on which such Stock Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section 6(a)(4), and will thereupon terminate;
(C) all Stock Options and SARs held by a Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Participant’s Employment will immediately terminate upon such cessation if the Administrator in its sole discretion determines that such cessation of Employment has resulted for reasons which cast such discredit on the Participant as to justify immediate termination of the Award; and
(D) all Stock Options and SARs held by a Non-Employee Director Participant or such Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Participant’s Employment, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) a period of one year or (ii) the period ending on the latest date on which such Stock Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section 6(a)(4), and will thereupon terminate.
(5) Taxes. The Administrator will make such provision for the withholding of taxes as it deems necessary. The Administrator may, but need not, hold back shares of Stock from an Award or permit a
A-2
Participant to tender previously owned shares of Stock in satisfaction of tax withholding requirements (but not in excess of the minimum withholding required by law).
(6) Dividend Equivalents, Etc. The Administrator may provide for the payment of amounts in lieu of cash dividends or other cash distributions with respect to Stock subject to an Award.
(7) Rights Limited. Nothing in the Plan will be construed as giving any person the right to continued employment or service with the Company or its Affiliates, or any rights as a stockholder except as to shares of Stock actually issued under the Plan. The loss of existing or potential profit in Awards will not constitute an element of damages in the event of termination of Employment for any reason, even if the termination is in violation of an obligation of the Company or Affiliate to the Participant.
(8) Section 162(m). This Section 6(a)(8) applies to any Performance Award intended to qualify as performance-based for the purposes of Section 162(m) other than a Stock Option or SAR. In the case of any Performance Award to which this Section 6(a)(8) applies, the Plan and such Award will be construed to the maximum extent permitted by law in a manner consistent with qualifying the Award for such exception. With respect to such Performance Awards, the Administrator will preestablish, in writing, one or more specific Performance Criteria no later than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the performance relates (or at such earlier time as is required to qualify the Award as performance-based under Section 162(m)). Prior to grant, vesting or payment of the Performance Award, as the case may be, the Administrator will certify whether the applicable Performance Criteria have been attained and such determination will be final and conclusive. No Performance Award to which this Section 6(a)(8) applies may be granted after the first meeting of the stockholders of the Company held in 2010 until the listed performance measures set forth in the definition of “Performance Criteria” (as originally approved or as subsequently amended) have been resubmitted to and reapproved by the stockholders of the Company in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, unless such grant is made contingent upon such approval.
(b) Awards Requiring Exercise
(1) Time And Manner Of Exercise. Unless the Administrator expressly provides otherwise, an Award requiring exercise by the holder will not be deemed to have been exercised until the Administrator receives a notice of exercise (in form acceptable to the Administrator) signed by the appropriate person and accompanied by any payment required under the Award. If the Award is exercised by any person other than the Participant, the Administrator may require satisfactory evidence that the person exercising the Award has the right to do so.
(2) Exercise Price. The exercise price (or the base value from which appreciation is to be measured) of each Award requiring exercise shall be 100% (in the case of an ISO granted to a ten-percent shareholder within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code, 110%) of the fair market value of the Stock subject to the Award, determined as of the date of grant, or such higher amount as the Administrator may determine in connection with the grant. No such Award, once granted, may be repriced other than in accordance with the applicable stockholder approval requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market.
(3) Payment Of Exercise Price. Where the exercise of an Award is to be accompanied by payment, the Administrator may determine the required or permitted forms of payment, subject to the following: all payments will be by cash or check acceptable to the Administrator, or, if so permitted by the Administrator and if legally permissible, (i) through the delivery of shares of Stock that have been outstanding for at least six months (unless the Administrator approves a shorter period) and that have a fair market value equal to the exercise price, (ii) by delivery to the Company of a promissory note of the person exercising the Award, payable on such terms as are specified by the Administrator, (iii) through a broker-assisted exercise program acceptable to the Administrator, (iv) by other means acceptable to the Administrator, or (v) by any combination of the foregoing permissible forms of payment. The delivery of shares in payment of the exercise price under clause (a)(i) above may be accomplished either by actual delivery or by constructive delivery through attestation of ownership, subject to such rules as the Administrator may prescribe.
A-3
(c) Awards Not Requiring Exercise
Restricted Stock and Unrestricted Stock, whether delivered outright or under Awards of Stock Units or other Awards that do not require exercise, may be made in exchange for such lawful consideration, including services, as the Administrator determines.
| |
7. | Effect of Certain Transactions |
(a) Mergers, etc. Except as otherwise provided in an Award, the following provisions shall apply in the event of a Covered Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity:
(1) Assumption or Substitution. If the Covered Transaction is one in which there is an acquiring or surviving entity, the Administrator may provide for the assumption of some or all outstanding Awards or for the grant of new awards in substitution therefor by the acquiror or survivor or an affiliate of the acquiror or survivor.
(2) Cash-Out of Awards. If the Covered Transaction is one in which holders of Stock will receive upon consummation a payment (whether cash, non-cash or a combination of the foregoing), the Administrator will provide for payment (a “cash-out”), with respect to all outstanding Awards, equal in the case of each affected Award to the excess, if any, of (A) the fair market value of one share of Stock (as determined by the Administrator in its reasonable discretion) times the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award, over (B) the aggregate exercise or purchase price, if any, under the Award (in the case of an SAR, the aggregate base price above which appreciation is measured), in each case on such payment terms (which need not be the same as the terms of payment to holders of Stock) and other terms, and subject to such conditions, as the Administrator determines.
(3) Other Actions. If the Covered Transaction (whether or not there is an acquiring or surviving entity) is one in which there is no assumption, substitution or cash-out, each Award requiring exercise will become fully exercisable, and the delivery of shares of Stock deliverable under each outstanding Award of Stock Units (including Restricted Stock Units and Performance Awards to the extent consisting of Stock Units) will be accelerated and such shares will be delivered, prior to the Covered Transaction, in each case on a basis that gives the holder of the Award a reasonable opportunity, as determined by the Administrator, following exercise of the Award or the delivery of the shares, as the case may be, to participate as a stockholder in the Covered Transaction.
(4) Termination of Awards Upon Consummation of Covered Transaction. Each Award (unless assumed pursuant to Section 7(a)(1) above), other than outstanding shares of Restricted Stock (which shall be treated in the same manner as other shares of Stock, subject to Section 7(a)(5) below), will terminate upon consummation of the Covered Transaction.
(5) Additional Limitations. Any share of Stock delivered pursuant to Section 7(a)(2) or Section 7(a)(3) above with respect to an Award may, in the discretion of the Administrator, contain such restrictions, if any, as the Administrator deems appropriate to reflect any performance or other vesting conditions to which the Award was subject. In the case of Restricted Stock, the Administrator may require that any amounts delivered, exchanged or otherwise paid in respect of such Stock in connection with the Covered Transaction be placed in escrow or otherwise made subject to such restrictions as the Administrator deems appropriate to carry out the intent of the Plan.
(6) Section 409A. In the case of an Award subject to and intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the payment provisions of this Section 7(a) shall be applied in a manner consistent with the objective of continued compliance with such requirements.
(b) Change of Control Events. Immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control Event, each outstanding Award granted to a Non-Employee Director that requires exercise will become fully exercisable, and the delivery of shares of Stock deliverable under each outstanding Award of Stock Units (including Restricted Stock Units and Performance Awards to the extend consisting of Stock Units) granted to a Non-Employee Director will be accelerated and such shares will be delivered.
(c) Change in and Distributions With Respect to Stock.
A-4
(1) Basic Adjustment Provisions. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split or combination of shares (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization or other change in the Company’s capital structure, the Administrator will make appropriate adjustments to the maximum number of shares specified in Section 4(a) that may be delivered under the Plan and to the maximum share limits described in Section 4(c), and will also make appropriate adjustments to the number and kind of shares of stock or securities subject to Awards then outstanding or subsequently granted, any exercise prices relating to Awards and any other provision of Awards affected by such change.
(2) Certain Other Adjustments. The Administrator may also make adjustments of the type described in Section 7(c)(1) above to take into account distributions to stockholders other than those provided for in Section 7(a) and 7(c)(1), or any other event, if the Administrator determines that adjustments are appropriate to avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan and to preserve the value of Awards made hereunder, having due regard for the qualification of ISOs under Section 422 of the Code and for the performance-based compensation rules of Section 162(m), where applicable.
(3) Continuing Application of Plan Terms. References in the Plan to shares of Stock will be construed to include any stock or securities resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.
| |
8. | Legal Conditions on Delivery of Stock |
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Stock pursuant to the Plan or to remove any restriction from shares of Stock previously delivered under the Plan until: (i) the Company is satisfied that all legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been addressed and resolved; (ii) if the outstanding Stock is at the time of delivery listed on any stock exchange or national market system, the shares to be delivered have been listed or authorized to be listed on such exchange or system upon official notice of issuance; and (iii) all conditions of the Award have been satisfied or waived. If the sale of Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company may require, as a condition to exercise of the Award, such representations or agreements as counsel for the Company may consider appropriate to avoid violation of such Act. The Company may require that certificates evidencing Stock issued under the Plan bear an appropriate legend reflecting any restriction on transfer applicable to such Stock, and the Company may hold the certificates pending lapse of the applicable restrictions.
| |
9. | Amendment and Termination |
The Administrator may at any time or times amend the Plan or any outstanding Award for any purpose which may at the time be permitted by law, and may at any time terminate the Plan as to any future grants of Awards;provided, that except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan the Administrator may not, without the Participant’s consent, alter the terms of an Award so as to affect adversely the Participant’s rights under the Award, unless the Administrator expressly reserved the right to do so at the time of the Award. Any amendments to the Plan shall be conditioned upon stockholder approval only to the extent, if any, such approval is required by law (including the Code or applicable listing requirements), as determined by the Administrator.
| |
10. | Other Compensation Arrangements |
The existence of the Plan or the grant of any Award will not in any way affect the Company’s right to Award a person bonuses or other compensation in addition to Awards under the Plan.
By accepting an Award under the Plan, each Participant waives any right to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim concerning any rights under the Plan and any Award, or under any amendment, waiver, consent, instrument, document or other agreement delivered or which in the future may be delivered in connection therewith, and agrees that any such action, proceeding or counterclaim shall be tried before a court and not before a jury. By accepting an Award under the Plan, each Participant certifies that no officer, representative, or attorney of the Company has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Company would not, in the event of any action, proceeding or counterclaim, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers.
