In the event of an extraordinary stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, share combination, or recapitalization or similar event affecting the capital structure of the Company, an extraordinary cash dividend, separation, spinoff or a reorganization (each, an “Adjustment Event”), the Committee or the Board shall make such substitutions or adjustments as it deems appropriate and equitable in its discretion to: (A) the aggregate number and kind of Shares or other securities reserved for issuance and delivery under the Plan, (B) the number and kind of Shares or other securities subject to outstanding Awards; (C) performance metrics and targets underlying outstanding Awards; and (D) the Option Price of outstanding Options. In the event of a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or shares, stock rights offering, liquidation, disaffiliation, or similar event affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Corporate Transaction”), the Committee or the Board may in its discretion make such substitutions or adjustments as it deems appropriate and equitable to: (A) the aggregate number and kind of Shares or other securities reserved for issuance and delivery under the Plan; (B) the number and kind of Shares or other securities subject to outstanding Awards; (C) performance metrics and targets underlying outstanding Awards; and (D) the Option Price of outstanding Options. In the case of Corporate Transactions, such adjustments may include, without limitation, (1) the cancellation of outstanding Awards in exchange for payments of cash, property or a combination thereof having an aggregate value equal to the value of such Awards, as determined by the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion (it being understood that in the case of a Corporate Transaction with respect to which shareholders of Common Stock receive consideration other than publicly traded equity securities of the ultimate surviving entity, any such determination
14
by the Committee that the value of an Option shall for this purpose be deemed to equal the excess, if any, of the value of the consideration being paid for each Share pursuant to such Corporate Transaction over the Option Price of such Option shall conclusively be deemed valid); and (2) the substitution of other property (including, without limitation, cash or other securities of the Company and securities of entities other than the Company) for the Shares subject to outstanding Awards.
10.2 | Special Rules. |
The following rules shall apply in connection with Section 10.1 above:
(a) No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends (except as described in Section 10.1) or the issuance to stockholders of rights to subscribe for additional Shares or other securities (except in connection with a Corporate Transaction); and
(b) Any adjustments referred to in Section 10.1 shall be made by the Committee or the Board in its discretion and shall be conclusive and binding on all Persons holding any Awards granted under the Plan.
10.3 | Right to Include Options upon a Realization Event. |
Upon a Realization Event, subject to the provisions of any Award Agreement to the contrary with respect to a Sale of the Company, the Company may, but is not obligated to, purchase each outstanding Vested Option and/or unvested Option for a per share amount equal to (i) the amount per share received (whether in cash, securities or a combination thereof) in respect of the Shares sold in such transaction constituting the Realization Event, less (ii) the Option Price thereof. In the event the amount in (i) would not exceed the amount in (ii), Options may be cancelled for no payment.
The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall not be construed, however, to limit or reduce any rights of the Company or the Participant under the Management Investor Rights Agreement.
ARTICLE XI
RESTRICTIONS ON AWARDS
11.1 | Compliance With Securities Laws. |
No Awards shall be granted under the Plan, and no Shares shall be issued and delivered pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan, unless and until the Company and/or the Participant shall have complied with all applicable Federal, state or foreign registration, listing and/or qualification requirements and all other requirements of law or of any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction. As soon as practicable following the occurrence of any Qualified Public Offering, the Company shall register all Shares subject to the Plan on Form S-8 (or any successor form).
The Committee in its discretion may, as a condition to the delivery of any Shares pursuant to any Award granted under the Plan, require the applicable Participant (i) to represent in writing that the Shares received pursuant to such Award are being acquired for investment and
15
not with a view to distribution and (ii) to make such other representations and warranties as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate. Stock certificates representing Shares acquired under the Plan that have not been registered under the Securities Act shall, if required by the Committee, bear such legends as may be required by the Management Investor Rights Agreement and the applicable Award Agreement.
11.2 | Nonassignability of Awards. |
Unless otherwise specifically provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, no Award granted under the Plan shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by the Participant, except by designation of a beneficiary, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. An Award may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant, unless the Participant becomes subject to a Disability. If a Participant dies or becomes subject to a Disability, his or her Options shall thereafter be exercisable, during the period specified in the applicable Award Agreement (as the case may be), by his or her designated beneficiary or if no beneficiary has been designated in writing, by his or her executors or administrators to the full extent (but only to such extent) to which such Options were exercisable by the Participant at the time of (and after giving effect to any vesting that may occur in connection with) his or her death or Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may assign or transfer an Award with the prior consent of the Committee to a “Family Member” as such term is defined in Rule 701 of the Securities Act (each transferee thereof, a “Permitted Assignee”); provided that such Permitted Assignee shall be bound by and subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreement relating to the transferred Award and shall execute an agreement satisfactory to the Company evidencing such obligations; and provided further that such Participant shall remain bound by the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Company shall cooperate with any Permitted Assignee and the Company’s transfer agent in effectuating any transfer permitted under this Section 11.2. Before issuing any Shares under the Plan to any person who is not already a party to the Management Investor Rights Agreement, the Company shall obtain an executed Adoption Agreement from such person, unless a Qualified Public Offering shall have already occurred.
11.3 | No Right to an Award or Grant. |
Neither the adoption of the Plan nor any action of the Board or the Committee shall be deemed to give an employee, director or consultant any right to be granted an Option to purchase Shares or to receive an Award under the Plan, except as may be evidenced by an Award Agreement duly executed on behalf of the Company, and then only to the extent of and on the terms and conditions expressly set forth in the Award Agreement. The Plan will be unfunded. The Company will not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of funds or assets to assure the payment of any Award.
11.4 | No Evidence of Employment or Service. |
Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Award Agreement shall confer upon any Participant any right with respect to the continuation of his or her employment by or service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any such Subsidiary, in their respective sole discretion (subject to the terms of any separate
16
agreement to the contrary), at any time to terminate such employment or service or to increase or decrease the compensation of the Participant from the rate in existence at the time of the grant of an Award.
11.5 | No Restriction of Corporate Action. |
Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Award Agreement will be construed to prevent the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company from taking any corporate action that is deemed by the Company or by its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to be appropriate or in its best interest, unless such action would have a material adverse effect (as determined in reasonable good faith by the Company) on any then-outstanding Award held by a Participant, without the Participant’s written consent.
ARTICLE XII
TERM OF THE PLAN
The Plan shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall terminate on the Termination Date. No Awards may be granted after the Termination Date. Any Award outstanding as of the Termination Date shall remain in effect and the terms of the Plan will apply until such Award terminates as provided in the applicable Award Agreement.
ARTICLE XIII
AMENDMENT OF PLAN
The Plan may be modified or amended in any respect by the Committee with the prior approval of the Board; provided, however, that the approval of the holders of a majority of the votes that may be cast by all of the holders of shares of Common Stock of the Company entitled to vote (voting together as a single class, with each such holder entitled to cast one vote per share held by such holder) shall be obtained prior to any such amendment becoming effective if such approval is required by law or is necessary to comply with regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan may not be modified or amended as it pertains to any existing Award Agreement if such modification or amendment would materially impair the rights of the applicable Participant without the written consent of such Participant.
ARTICLE XIV
CAPTIONS
The use of captions in the Plan is for convenience. The captions are not intended to provide substantive rights.
17
ARTICLE XV
WITHHOLDING TAXES
Unless otherwise provided in any Award Agreement, upon any exercise or payment of any Award, the Company shall have the right at its option and in its sole discretion to (i) require the Participant to pay or provide for payment of the amount of any taxes which the Company or any Subsidiary may be required to withhold with respect to such exercise or payment (which payment may be a condition precedent to an exercise); (ii) deduct from any amount payable to the Participant in cash or securities in respect of the Award the amount of any taxes which the Company may be required to withhold with respect to such exercise or payment; (iii) reduce the number of Shares to be delivered to the Participant in connection with such exercise or payment by the appropriate number of Shares, valued at their then Fair Market Value, to satisfy the minimum withholding obligation; or (iv) effect such withholding through such other method as the Committee may from time to time approve. In no event will the value of Shares withheld under clause (iii) above exceed the minimum amount of required withholding under applicable law.
ARTICLE XVI
SECTION 83(b) ELECTION
To the extent permitted by the Board or Committee, each Participant awarded an Award may, but is not obligated to, make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed currently with respect to any Award issued under the Plan. The election permitted under this Article XVI shall comply in all respects with and shall be made within the period of time prescribed under Section 83(b) of the Code. Each Participant shall prepare such forms as are required to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code. The Company shall have no liability to any Participant who fails to make a permitted Section 83(b) election in a timely manner.
ARTICLE XVII
CODE SECTION 409A COMPLIANCE
The Plan is intended to provide for non-statutory stock option benefits that are not deemed to be deferred compensation and thus are not subject to the provisions of Code § 409A. If the Plan is deemed to be subject to Code § 409A, however, the Company may modify the Plan, the Award Agreement and any Award granted under the Plan to comply with Code § 409A guidance in a manner that will not materially reduce the value of such Award.
ARTICLE XVIII
SECTION 16 COMPLIANCE
In the event that the Company becomes subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, it is intended that the Plan and any Award made to a Participant subject to Section 16 of the
18
Exchange Act will meet all of the requirements of Rule 16b-3. Accordingly, unless otherwise provided by the Committee, if any provisions of the Plan or any Award would disqualify the Plan or the Award, or would otherwise not comply with Rule 16b-3, such provision or Award will be construed or deemed amended to conform to Rule 16b-3.
ARTICLE XIX
OTHER PROVISIONS
Each Award granted under the Plan may contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.
ARTICLE XX
NUMBER AND GENDER
With respect to words used in the Plan, the singular form shall include the plural form, the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, and vice versa, as the context requires.
ARTICLE XXI
GOVERNING LAW
All questions concerning the construction, interpretation and validity of the Plan and the instruments evidencing the Awards granted hereunder shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of Delaware will control the interpretation and construction of the Plan, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.
ARTICLE XXII
MISCELLANEOUS
22.1 | General. |
(a) Awards granted under the Plan will be satisfied by delivery of shares of Common Stock or from the general assets of the Company, and (except as provided in Section 3.6) no special or separate reserve, fund or deposit will be made to assure satisfaction of such Awards. No grantee, beneficiary or other person will have any right, title or interest in any fund or in any specific asset (including Shares) of the Company by reason of any Award hereunder. Neither the provisions of the Plan (or of any related documents), nor the creation or adoption of the Plan, nor any action taken pursuant to the provisions of the Plan will create, or be construed to create, a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any grantee, beneficiary or other person. To the extent that a grantee, beneficiary or other person acquires a right to receive payment pursuant to any Award hereunder, such right will be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
19
(b) The Management Investor Rights Agreement provides for additional restrictions and limitations with respect to Shares (including additional restrictions and limitations on the voting or transfer of Shares). To the extent that such restrictions are greater than those set forth in the Plan or any Award Agreement, such restrictions and limitations shall apply to any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of Awards or otherwise issued or delivered pursuant to an Award and are incorporated herein by this reference.
(c) The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, as either of them may lawfully be amended, supplemented or restated from time to time, may provide for additional restrictions and limitations with respect to Shares (including additional restrictions and limitations on the voting or transfer of Shares) or priorities, rights and preferences as to securities and interests prior in rights to the Shares. To the extent that these restrictions and limitations are greater than those set forth in the Plan or any Award Agreement, such restrictions and limitations shall apply to any Shares acquired pursuant to Awards and are incorporated herein by this reference.
22.2 | Subsidiary Employees. |
In the case of a grant of an Award to an employee or consultant of any Subsidiary of the Company, the Company may, if the Committee so directs, issue or transfer the shares of Common Stock, if any, covered by the Award to the Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Subsidiary will transfer the shares of Common Stock to the employee or consultant in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. All shares of Common Stock underlying Awards that are forfeited or canceled shall revert to the Company.
22.3 | Foreign Employees and Foreign Law Considerations. |
The Committee may grant Awards to individuals who are eligible to participate in the plan who are foreign nationals, who are located outside the United States or who are not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, or who are otherwise subject to (or could cause the Company to be subject to) legal or regulatory provisions of countries or jurisdictions outside the United States, on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan, and, in furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, or subplans as may be necessary or advisable to comply with such legal or regulatory provisions.
22.4 | Limitation on Dividend Reinvestment and Dividend Equivalents. |
To the extent provided under an Award Agreement, reinvestment of dividends in additional Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units at the time of any dividend payment, and the payment of Shares with respect to dividends to Participants holding Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, shall only be permissible if sufficient Shares are available under Section 3.5 for such reinvestment (taking into account then outstanding Options and other
20
Awards), provided that, in the event that there are not sufficient Shares so available, holders of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall instead receive cash in the amount equal to such dividend as and when, (i) with respect to Restricted Stock, such Awards become vested, or (ii) with respect to Restricted Stock Units, such Awards become payable.
