1. | Establishment, Purpose and Types of Awards |
Invoice Cloud, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby establishes the Invoice Cloud, Inc. 2009 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company by (i) providing key people with incentives to improve value to the equity holders and to contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company, and (ii) enabling the Company to attract, retain and reward the best-available persons.
The Plan permits the granting of Stock Options to purchase (including to the extent permitted by applicable law, incentive Stock options qualifying under Code section 422 and nonqualified Stock options) restricted or unrestricted stock, phantom stock, performance awards, other equity-based awards, or any combination of the foregoing.
Under this Plan, except where the context otherwise indicates, the following definitions apply:
(a) “Administrator” means the Board or committee(s) appointed by the Board that administers the Plan in accordance with Section 3 hereof.
(b) “Affiliate” means any entity, whether now or hereafter existing, which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company (including, but not limited to, joint ventures, limited liability companies, and partnerships). For this purpose, “control” shall mean ownership of 50% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock or interests of the entity.
(c) “Articles” means the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, as may be amended from time to time.
(d) “Award” means any Stock option, Stock appreciation right, Stock award, phantom Stock award, performance award, or other equity-based award.
(e) “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.
(f) “Change in Control” means a Liquidity Event, as defined in the Articles, provided however, a private equity or venture capital financing of the Company through the sale of Interests in the Company, which financing is led by one or more venture capital or private equity funds, for the primary purpose of raising capital for use in the operations of the Company, shall not be considered a Change in Control.
(g) “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder.
(h) “Continuous Service” means that the Participant’s service with the Company or an Affiliate, whether as an Employee, director or consultant, is not interrupted or terminated. A change in the capacity in which the Participant renders service to the Company or an Affiliate as an Employee, Consultant or Director or a change in the entity for which the Participant renders such service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of the Participant’s service with the Company or an Affiliate, shall not terminate a Participant’s Continuous Service. For example, a change in status from an employee of the Company to a consultant to an Affiliate or to a director shall not constitute an interruption of Continuous Service. The Board or the chief executive officer of the Company, in that party’s sole discretion, may determine whether Continuous Service shall be considered interrupted in the case of any leave of absence approved by that party, including sick leave, military leave or any other personal leave. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a leave of absence shall be treated as Continuous Service for purposes of vesting in an Option Award only to such extent as may be provided in the Company’s leave of absence policy or in the written terms of the Participant’s leave of absence.
