Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the DGCL) allows
for the indemnification of officers, directors and other corporate agents in terms sufficiently
broad to indemnify such persons under certain circumstances for liabilities (including
reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act. Article XII of the Companys
amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Article VI of the Companys bylaws authorize
indemnification of the Companys directors, officers, employees and other agents to the extent and
under the circumstances permitted by the DGCL.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain
officers that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain
liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the
fullest extent not prohibited by law. The Company maintains liability insurance for the benefit of
its officers and directors.
The above discussion of the DGCL and of the Companys amended and restated certificate of
incorporation, bylaws, and indemnification agreements is not intended to be exhaustive and is
qualified in its entirety by such statute, amended and restated certificate of incorporation,
bylaws and indemnification agreements.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See the attached Exhibit Index at page 7, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
a. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
|
1. |
|
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement: |
|
i. |
|
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
|
|
ii. |
|
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration
Statement; |
|
|
iii. |
|
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in this Registration Statement; |
3
provided however, that Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this Section do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section
13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement.
|
2. |
|
That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof. |
|
|
3. |
|
To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering. |
b. |
|
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)
of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof. |
|
h. |
|
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item
6 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
4
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that
it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8
and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Sunnyvale, State of California, on November 2, 2007.

Zimbra, Inc. 2004 Stock Plan
SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE.
The purpose of the Plan is to offer selected persons an opportunity to acquire a proprietary
interest in the success of the Company, or to increase such interest, by purchasing Shares of the
Companys Stock. The Plan provides both for the direct award or sale of Shares and for the grant
of Options to purchase Shares. Options granted under the Plan may include Nonstatutory Options as
well as ISOs intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code.
Capitalized terms are defined in Section 12.
SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATION.
(a) Committees of the Board of Directors. The Plan may be administered by one or more
Committees. Each Committee shall consist of one or more members of the Board of Directors who have
been appointed by the Board of Directors. Each Committee shall have such authority and be
responsible for such functions as the Board of Directors has assigned to it. If no Committee has
been appointed, the entire Board of Directors shall administer the Plan. Any reference to the
Board of Directors in the Plan shall be construed as a reference to the Committee (if any) to whom
the Board of Directors has assigned a particular function.
(b) Authority of the Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board of
Directors shall have full authority and discretion to take any actions it deems necessary or
advisable for the administration of the Plan. All decisions, interpretations and other actions of
the Board of Directors shall be final and binding on all Purchasers, all Optionees and all persons
deriving their rights from a Purchaser or Optionee.
SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY.
(a) General Rule. Only Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants shall be eligible for the
grant of Nonstatutory Options or the direct award or sale of Shares. Only Employees shall be
eligible for the grant of ISOs.
(b) Ten-Percent Stockholders. A person who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company, its Parent or any of its Subsidiaries
shall not be eligible for designation as an Optionee or Purchaser unless (i) the Exercise Price is
at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, (ii) the Purchase Price (if
any) is at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share and (iii) in the case of an ISO, such ISO
by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant. For
purposes of this
Subsection (b), in determining stock ownership, the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the
Code shall be applied.
SECTION 4. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.
(a) Basic Limitation. Not more than 8,648,3881 Shares may be issued under the Plan
(subject to Subsection (b) below and Section 8(a)). The number of Shares that are subject to
Options or other rights outstanding at any time under the Plan shall not exceed the number of
Shares that then remain available for issuance under the Plan. The Company, during the term of the
Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the requirements
of the Plan. Shares offered under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares or treasury
Shares.
(b) Additional Shares. In the event that Shares previously issued under the Plan are

SECTION 6. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.
(a) Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a
Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. The Option shall be subject to all
applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions
which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Board of Directors deems appropriate for
inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements
entered into under the Plan need not be identical.
(b) Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of Shares that are
subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with
Section 8. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify whether the Option is an ISO or a
Nonstatutory Option.
(c) Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The
Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the
date of grant, and a higher percentage may be
required by Section 3(b). The Exercise Price of a Nonstatutory Option shall not be less than
85% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, and a higher percentage may be

shall be payable in a form described in Section 7.
(d) Exercisability. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date when all or any
installment of the Option is to become exercisable. No Option shall be exercisable unless the
Optionee has delivered an executed copy of the Stock Option Agreement to the Company. In the case
of an Optionee who is not an officer of the Company, an Outside Director or a Consultant, an Option
shall become exercisable at least as rapidly as 20% per year over the five-year period commencing
on the date of grant. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Board
3
of Directors shall determine
the exercisability provisions of the Stock Option Agreement at its sole discretion. All of an

(e) Basic Term. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify the term of the Option. The term

Section 3(b). Subject to the preceding sentence, the Board of Directors at its sole discretion
shall determine when an Option is to expire.
(f) Termination of Service (Except by Death). If an Optionees Service terminates for any
reason other than the Optionees death, then the Optionees Options shall expire on the earliest of
the following occasions:
(i) The expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (e) above;

any reason other than Disability, or such later date as the Board of Directors may

reason of Disability, or such later date as the Board of Directors may determine.
The Optionee may exercise all or part of the Optionees Options at any time before the expiration
of such Options under the preceding sentence, but only to the extent that such Options had become
exercisable before the Optionees Service terminated (or became exercisable as a result of the
termination) and the underlying Shares had vested before the Optionees Service terminated (or
vested as a result of the termination). The balance of such Options shall lapse when the
Optionees Service terminates. In the event that the Optionee dies after the termination of the
Optionees Service but before the expiration of the Optionees Options, all or part of such Options
may be exercised (prior to expiration) by the executors or administrators of the Optionees estate
or by any person who has acquired such Options directly from the Optionee by
beneficiary designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that such Options had
become exercisable before the Optionees Service terminated (or became exercisable as a result of
the termination) and the underlying Shares had vested before the Optionees Service terminated (or
vested as a result of the termination).
(g) Leaves of Absence. For purposes of Subsection (f) above, Service shall be deemed to
continue while the Optionee is on a bona fide leave of absence, if such leave was approved by the
Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service for this purpose is expressly required by
the terms of such leave or by applicable law (as determined by the Company).
(h) Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while the Optionee is in Service, then the
Optionees Options shall expire on the earlier of the following dates:
4
(i) The expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (e) above; or
(ii) The date 12 months after the Optionees death, or such later date as the
Board of Directors may determine.
All or part of the Optionees Options may be exercised at any time before the expiration of such
Options under the preceding sentence by the executors or administrators of the Optionees estate or
by any person who has acquired such Options directly from the Optionee by beneficiary designation,
bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that such Options had become exercisable before the
Optionees death (or became exercisable as a result of the death) and the underlying Shares had
vested before the Optionees death (or vested as a result of the Optionees death). The balance of
such Options shall lapse when the Optionee dies.
(i) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares and Minimum Vesting. Any Shares issued upon exercise
of an Option shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights
of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Board of Directors may determine. Such
restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Option Agreement and shall apply in
addition to any restrictions that may apply to holders of Shares generally. In the case of an
Optionee who is not an officer of the Company, an Outside Director or a Consultant:
(i) Any right to repurchase the Optionees Shares at the original Exercise
Price upon termination of the Optionees Service shall lapse at least as rapidly as
20% per year over the five-year period commencing on the date of the option grant;
(ii) Any such right may be exercised only for cash or for cancellation of

beneficiary designation, (ii) a will or (iii) the laws of descent and distribution, except as
provided in the next sentence. If the applicable Stock Option Agreement so provides, a
Nonstatutory Option shall also be transferable by gift or domestic relations order to a Family
Member of the Optionee. An ISO may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the
Optionee or by the Optionees guardian or legal representative.
(k) Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Optionee shall make
such arrangements as the Board of Directors may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state,
local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise. The
Optionee shall also make such arrangements as the Board of Directors may require for the
satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in
connection with the disposition of Shares acquired by exercising an Option.
5
(l) No Rights as a Stockholder. An Optionee, or a transferee of an Optionee, shall have no
rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by the Optionees Option until such
person becomes entitled to receive such Shares by filing a notice of exercise and paying the
Exercise Price pursuant to the terms of such Option.
(m) Modification, Extension and Assumption of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan,
the Board of Directors may modify, extend or assume outstanding Options or may accept the
cancellation of outstanding Options (whether granted by the Company or another issuer) in return
for the grant of new Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a
different Exercise Price. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall,
without the consent of the Optionee, impair the Optionees rights or increase the Optionees
obligations under such Option.
SECTION 7. PAYMENT FOR SHARES.
(a) General Rule. The entire Purchase Price or Exercise Price of Shares issued under the Plan
shall be payable in cash or cash equivalents at the time when such Shares are purchased, except as
otherwise provided in this Section 7.
(b) Surrender of Stock. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, all or any part of the
Exercise Price may be paid by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, Shares that are
already owned by the Optionee. Such Shares shall be surrendered to the Company in good form for
transfer and shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the Option is exercised.
The Optionee shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Exercise
Price if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional
compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes.
(c) Services Rendered. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, Shares may be awarded
under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary prior
to the award.
(d) Promissory Note. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, all or a portion of the
Exercise Price or Purchase Price (as the case may be) of Shares issued under the Plan may be paid
with a full-recourse promissory note. However, the par value of the Shares, if newly issued, shall
be paid in cash or cash equivalents. The Shares shall be pledged as security for payment of the
principal amount of the promissory note and interest thereon. The interest rate payable under the
terms of the promissory note shall not be less than the minimum rate (if any) required to avoid the
imputation of additional interest under the Code. Subject to the foregoing, the Board of Directors
(at its sole discretion) shall specify the term, interest rate, amortization requirements (if any)
and other provisions of such note.
(e) Exercise/Sale. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, and if Stock is
publicly traded, payment may be made all or in part by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the
Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell Shares
and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the
Exercise Price and any withholding taxes.
6
(f) Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, and if Stock is
publicly traded, payment may be made all or in part by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the
Company) of an irrevocable direction to pledge Shares to a securities broker or lender approved by
the Company, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company
in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes.
SECTION 8. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.
(a) General. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a declaration of a
dividend payable in Shares or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser
number of Shares, corresponding adjustments shall automatically be made in each of (i) the number
of Shares available for future grants under Section 4, (ii) the number of Shares covered by each
outstanding Option and (iii) the Exercise Price under each outstanding Option. In the event of a
declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has
a material effect on the Fair Market Value of the Stock, a recapitalization, a spin-off, a
reclassification or a similar occurrence, the Board of Directors at its sole discretion may make
appropriate adjustments in one or more of (i) the number of Shares available for future grants
under Section 4, (ii) the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option or (iii) the Exercise
Price under each outstanding Option.
(b) Mergers and Consolidations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or
consolidation, all outstanding
Options shall be subject to the agreement of merger or consolidation. Such agreement shall
provide for one or more of the following:
(i) The continuation of such outstanding Options by the Company (if the Company
is the surviving corporation).
(ii) The assumption of such outstanding Options by the surviving corporation or
its parent in a manner that complies with Section 424(a) of the Code (whether or not
such Options are ISOs).
(iii) The substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent of new
options for such outstanding Options in a manner that complies with Section 424(a)
of the Code (whether or not such Options are ISOs).
(iv) Full exercisability of such outstanding Options and full vesting of the
Shares subject to such Options, followed by the cancellation of such Options. The
full exercisability of such Options and full vesting of the Shares subject to such
Options may be contingent on the closing of such merger or consolidation. The
Optionees shall be able to exercise such Options during a period of not less than
five full business days preceding the closing date of such merger or consolidation,
unless (A) a shorter period is required to permit a timely closing of such merger or
consolidation and (B) such shorter period still offers the Optionees a reasonable
opportunity to exercise such Options. Any exercise of such Options during such
period may be contingent on the closing of such merger or consolidation.
7
(v) The cancellation of such outstanding Options and a payment to the Optionees
equal to the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such
Options (whether or not such Options are then exercisable or such Shares are then
vested) as of the closing date of such merger or consolidation over (B) their
Exercise Price. Such payment shall be made in the form of cash, cash equivalents,
or securities of the surviving corporation or its parent with a Fair Market Value
equal to the required amount. Such payment may be made in installments and may be
deferred until the date or dates when such Options would have become exercisable or
such Shares would have vested. Such payment may be subject to vesting based on the
Optionees continuing Service, provided that the vesting schedule shall not be less
favorable to the Optionees than the schedule under which such Options would have
become exercisable or such Shares would have vested. If the Exercise Price of the
Shares subject to such Options exceeds the Fair Market Value of such Shares, then
such Options may be cancelled without making a payment to the Optionees. For
purposes of this Paragraph (v), the Fair Market Value of any security shall be
determined without regard to any vesting conditions that may apply to such security.
(c) Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 8, an Optionee or Purchaser
shall have no rights by reason of
(i) any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, (ii) the payment of any
dividend or (iii) any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.
Any issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares
of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number or Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option
pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make
adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to
merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or
assets.
SECTION 9. SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS.
(a) General. Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of
such Shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without
limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or
other securities market on which the Companys securities may then be traded.
(b) Financial Reports. The Company each year shall furnish to Optionees, Purchasers and
stockholders who have received Stock under the Plan its balance sheet and income statement, unless
such Optionees, Purchasers or stockholders are key Employees whose duties with the Company assure
them access to equivalent information. Such balance sheet and income statement need not be
audited.
8
SECTION 10. NO RETENTION RIGHTS.
Nothing in the Plan or in any right or Option granted under the Plan shall confer upon the
Purchaser or Optionee any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or
interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or
Subsidiary employing or retaining the Purchaser or Optionee) or of the Purchaser or Optionee, which
rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at any time and for
any reason, with or without cause.
SECTION 11. DURATION AND AMENDMENTS.
(a) Term of the Plan. The Plan, as set forth herein, shall become effective on the date of

Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Companys stockholders if it (i) increases the number
of Shares available for issuance under the Plan (except as provided in Section 8) or
(ii) materially changes the class of persons who are eligible for the grant of ISOs. Stockholder
approval shall not be required for any other amendment of the Plan. If the stockholders fail to
approve an increase in the number of Shares reserved under Section 4 within 12 months after its
adoption by the Board of Directors, then any grants, exercises or sales that have already occurred
in reliance on such increase shall be rescinded and no additional grants, exercises or sales shall
thereafter be made in reliance on such increase.

comprised solely of Directors may also delegate, to the extent permitted by Section
157(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law and any other Applicable Law, to one or
more Officers of the Company or Parent, its powers under the Plan (a) to designate the
Employees other than an Officer who is a Reporting Person who will receive grants of
Awards under the Plan, and (b) to determine the number of Shares subject to, and the
other terms and conditions of, such Awards. The Board may delegate different levels of
authority to different committees with administrative and grant authority under the
Plan. Unless otherwise provided in the Bylaws of the Company or the applicable charter
of any Administrator: (a) a majority of the members of the acting Administrator shall
constitute a quorum, and (b) the vote of a majority of the members present assuming the
presence of a quorum or the unanimous written consent of the members of the
Administrator shall constitute action by the acting Administrator. |
|
|
|
|
With respect to awards intended to satisfy the requirements for performance based
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan shall be administered by a
committee consisting solely of two or more outside directors (as this requirement is
applied under Section 162(m) of the Code); provided, however, that the failure to
satisfy such requirement shall not affect the validity of the action of any other
committee otherwise duly authorized and acting in the matter. Award grants, and
transactions in or involving Awards, intended to be exempt under Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act, must be duly and timely authorized by the Board
or a committee consisting solely of two or more non-employee directors (as this
requirement is applied under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act). To the
extent required by any applicable Stock Exchange, the Plan shall be administered by
a committee composed entirely of independent directors (within the meaning of the
applicable Stock Exchange rules). |
|
|
(b) |
|
Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and in the
case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, and
subject to the approval of any relevant authorities, including the approval, if
required, of any Stock Exchange, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its
discretion: |
4
|
(i) |
|
to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, in
accordance with the definition of such term set forth above; |
|
|
(ii) |
|
to select the Consultants and Employees to whom Awards may from
time to time be granted hereunder; |
|
|
(iii) |
|
to determine whether and to what extent Awards are granted
hereunder; |
|
|
(iv) |
|
to determine the number of Shares of Common Stock, if any, to
be covered by each Award granted hereunder; |
|
|
(v) |
|
to approve forms of agreements, not inconsistent with the terms
of the Plan, for use under the Plan; |
|
|
(vi) |
|
to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with
the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder, including, but not
limited to, the Share price and any restriction or limitation, the vesting of
any Award or the acceleration of vesting or waiver of a forfeiture restriction,
based in each case on such factors as the Administrator shall determine, in its
sole discretion; |
|
|
(vii) |
|
to determine whether and under what circumstances an Award may
be settled in cash or other consideration instead of Common Stock; |
|
|
(viii) |
|
to adjust the number of Shares subject to any Award or change previously
imposed terms and conditions; in such circumstances as the Administrator may
deem appropriate, in each case subject to Sections 3 and 13; |
|
|
(ix) |
|
to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards
granted pursuant to the Plan; and |
|
|
(x) |
|
in order to fulfill the purposes of the Plan and without
amending the Plan, to modify Awards to participants who are foreign nationals
or employed outside of the United States in order to recognize differences in
applicable local law, tax policies or customs. |
|
(c) |
|
Effect of Administrators Decision. All decisions, determinations and
interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all holders of any
Award. |
5
|
(a) |
|
Recipients of Grants. Awards may be granted to eligible Employees and
Consultants. An Employee or Consultant who has been granted an Award may, if he or she
is otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards. |
|
|
(b) |
|
No Employment Rights. The Plan shall not confer upon any Award recipient any
right with respect to continuation of employment or consulting relationship with the
Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with such recipients right or the Companys
right to terminate his or her employment or consulting relationship at any time, with
or without cause. |
6. |
|
Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by
the Board or its approval by the stockholders of the Company as described in Section 17 of the
Plan. It shall continue in effect until September 11, 2017, unless sooner terminated under
Section 13 of the Plan. |
|
7. |
|
Term of Awards. The term of each Award shall be the term stated in the written agreement
evidencing such Award. |
|
8. |
|
Restricted Stock Units. |
|
(a) |
|
General. Restricted Stock Units may be issued either alone, in addition to, or
in tandem with cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator
determines that it will grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, it shall advise
the recipient in writing of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer
(which may include restrictions based on performance criteria, passage of time or other
factors or a combination thereof), and the number of Restricted Stock Units that such
person shall be entitled to receive. The offer shall be accepted by execution of a
Restricted Stock Units Award agreement in the form determined by the Administrator. |
|
|
(b) |
|
Rights as a Stockholder. A recipient who is awarded Restricted Stock Units
shall possess no incidents of ownership with respect to the Shares represented by such
Restricted Stock Units, unless and until the same are transferred to the recipient
pursuant to the terms of the Restricted Stock Unit. |
|
|
(c) |
|
Other Provisions. The Restricted Stock Units Award agreement shall contain
such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be
determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. In addition, the |
6
|
|
|
provisions of Restricted Stock Units Award agreements need not be the same with
respect to each Award or each recipient who is awarded Restricted Stock Units. |
9. |
|
Tax Withholding. Upon any vesting or payment of an Award, the Company, Parent or Subsidiary
shall have the right at its option to: |
|
(a) |
|
require the Award recipient (or the recipients personal representative or
beneficiary, as the case may be) to pay or provide for payment of the minimum amount of
any taxes which the Company, Parent or Subsidiary may be required to withhold with
respect to such vesting or payment; or |
|
|
(b) |
|
deduct from any amount otherwise payable in cash to the Award recipient (or the
recipients personal representative or beneficiary, as the case may be) the minimum
amount of any Award recipients taxes which the Company, Parent or Subsidiary may be
required to withhold with respect to such cash payment. |
|
|
|
|
In any case where a tax is required to be withheld in connection with the delivery
of Shares under the Plan, the Administrator may in its sole discretion (subject to
Applicable Laws) grant (either at the time of the Award or thereafter) to the Award
recipient the right to elect, pursuant to such rules and subject to such conditions
as the Administrator may establish, to (i) have the Company reduce the number of
Shares to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire from the recipient) the
appropriate number of Shares, valued in a consistent manner at their Fair Market
Value or at the sales price in accordance with authorized procedures for cashless
exercises, necessary to satisfy the minimum applicable withholding obligation on
vesting or payment, or (ii) surrender to the Company Shares which (A) in the case of
Shares initially acquired from the Company, have been owned by the Award recipient
for such period of time (if any) as may be required to avoid a charge to the
Companys earnings, and (B) have a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount
required to be withheld. For these purposes, the Fair Market Value of the Shares to
be withheld or repurchased, as applicable, shall be determined on the date that the
amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined pursuant to the Code (the Tax
Date). |
|
|
|
|
Any surrender by a Reporting Person of previously owned Shares to satisfy tax
withholding obligations incurred in connection with an Award granted under the Plan
must comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3. |
|
|
|
|
All elections by an Award recipient to have Shares withheld to satisfy tax
withholding obligations shall be made in writing in a form acceptable to the
Administrator and shall be subject to the following restrictions: (i) the election
must be made on or prior to the applicable Tax Date; (ii) once made, the election |
7
|
|
|
shall be irrevocable as to the particular Shares for which the election is made; and
(iii) all elections shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of the
Administrator. |
10. |
|
Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Corporate Transactions. |
|
(a) |
|
Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders
of the Company, (i) the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities)
covered by each outstanding Award, (ii) the number and type of shares of Common Stock
(or other securities) that have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to
which no Awards have yet been granted or that have been returned to the Plan upon
cancellation or expiration of an Award or otherwise and/or
(iii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which Awards may be granted to any Employee or Consultant
under the Plan, shall be equitably and proportionately adjusted for any increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or reclassification
of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares
of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided,
however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be
deemed to have been effected without receipt of consideration. Such adjustment shall
be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and
conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares
of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class,
shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the
number or price of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to an Award. |
|
|
|
|
It is intended that, if possible, any adjustments contemplated by the preceding
paragraph be made in a manner that satisfies applicable legal, tax (including,
without limitation, Section 409A of the Code) and accounting (so as not to trigger
any charge to earnings with respect to such adjustment) requirements. Without
limiting the generality of the preceding sentence or of Section 4(c), any good faith
determination by the Administrator as to whether an adjustment is required pursuant
to this Section 10(a), and the extent and nature of any such adjustment, shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons. |
|
|
(b) |
|
Corporate Transactions. In the event of the proposed dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, each Award will terminate immediately prior to the
consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator.
Additionally, the Administrator may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such
instances, declare that any Award shall terminate as of a date fixed by the
Administrator. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another |
8
|
|
|
corporation, each Award shall be assumed or an equivalent Award shall be substituted
by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor
corporation. |
11. |
|
Non-transferability of Awards. An Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or
distribution. Except as otherwise provided by the Administrator, an Award may only be
purchased during the lifetime of the recipient of the Award. |
|
12. |
|
Time of Granting of an Award. The date of grant of an Award shall, for all purposes, be the
date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or such other
later date as is determined by the Administrator in compliance with applicable legal, tax
(including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code) and accounting requirements. Notice
of the grant determination shall be given to each Employee or Consultant to whom an Award is
so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant. |
|
13. |
|
Amendment and Termination of the Plan. |
|
(a) |
|
Amendment and Termination. Subject to 13(c) below, the Board may amend, alter,
suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time;
provided, that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or
termination shall be made without stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to
comply with any tax, securities or regulatory law or requirement or any applicable
Stock Exchange requirement with which the Board intends the Plan to comply or if such
amendment constitutes a material amendment. For purposes of the Plan, a material
amendment shall mean an amendment that (i) materially increases the benefits accruing
to participants under the Plan, (ii) materially increases the number of securities that
may be issued under the Plan, (iii) materially modifies the requirements for
participation in the Plan, or (iv) is otherwise deemed a material amendment by the
Administrator pursuant to any Applicable Law or applicable accounting or Stock Exchange
rules. |
|
|
(b) |
|
Amendments to Awards. Without limiting any other express authority of the
Administrator under (but subject to) the express limits of the Plan, the Administrator
by agreement or resolution may waive conditions of or limitations on Awards that the
Administrator in the prior exercise of its discretion has imposed, without the consent
of the Award recipient, and (subject to the requirements of Section 13(c)) may make
other changes to the terms and conditions of Awards. |
9
|
(c) |
|
Limitations on Amendments to Plan and Awards. No amendment, suspension or
termination of the Plan or change of or affecting any outstanding Award shall, without
written consent of the Award recipient, affect in any manner substantially adverse to
such recipient any rights or benefits of such recipient or obligations of the Company
under any Award granted under the Plan prior to the effective date of such change.
Changes, settlements and other actions contemplated by Section 10 shall not be deemed
to constitute changes or amendments for purposes of this Section 13(c). |
14. |
|
Compliance with Laws. The Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan, the
offer, issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock, and/or the payment of money under the
Plan or under Awards are subject to compliance with all applicable federal, state and, where
applicable, foreign laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to state and
federal securities law and federal margin requirements) and to such approvals by any listing,
regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be
necessary or advisable in connection therewith. The person acquiring any securities under the
Plan will, if requested by the Company, Parent or a Subsidiary, provide such assurances and
representations to the Company, Parent or Subsidiary as the Administrator may deem necessary
or desirable to assure compliance with all Applicable Law and accounting requirements. |
|
15. |
|
Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve
and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of
the Plan. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having
jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Companys counsel to be necessary to the lawful
issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder and which Company has made a commercially reasonable
effort to obtain, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to
issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. |
|
16. |
|
Agreements. Awards shall be evidenced by written agreements in such form as the
Administrator shall approve from time to time and which shall not be inconsistent with the
terms of this Plan. |
|
17. |
|
Stockholder Approval. Continuance of the Plan shall be subject to approval by the
stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is
adopted. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required
under applicable federal and state law and the rules of any stock exchange upon which the
Shares are listed. |
|
18. |
|
Unfunded Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded plan for incentive
compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a participant by |
10
|
|
the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such participant any rights that are
greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. |
|
19. |
|
Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall
be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of
laws principles thereof. |
