Equity Grant Subject to approval by the Board and your execution of the Company’s standard form of Restricted Stock Agreement for executives (the “Restricted Stock Agreement”), you will be eligible to receive shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s 2017 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the “Plan”) equaling 15% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis as of the grant date and after giving effect to the grant. If the Company closes Preferred Round on or prior to December 31, 2019 (and provided that you are still employed by the Company at the time of such closing), the Company shall issue you an additional award of restricted shares of Company common stock under the Plan in an amount such that, after giving effect to such additional issuance, you have been granted shares of common stock equal to 15% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis upon closing of (and giving effect to) the Preferred Round. If the Preferred Round closes in multiple tranches (including tranches closed in the future, if initial closings of at least $3,000,000 occur by December, 2019), you will receive an additional award upon the closing of each tranche, in accordance with the foregoing. All shares of Company common stock granted to you shall be subject to repurchase and forfeiture as set forth in Restricted Stock Agreement, which shall provide that, subject to Section 6, the granted shares shall vest as follows: (i) 25% of the granted shares will vest on the three-month anniversary of the Commencement Date and (ii) thereafter, the remaining unvested shares will vest in equal quarterly installments over a three-year period, on the last day of each calendar quarter (i.e., March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31), commencing on September 30, 2018; provided, that upon a Sale Event (as defined in the Plan) all your then-unvested shares (to the extent not previously forfeited) shall vest. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company and the Board have reviewed and understands and accepts your academic and work experience, as the same has been provided to the Company by you. Accordingly, and assuming the accuracy of your academic and work experience, the definition of “Cause”, as applicable to any termination of your employment by the Company (whether under the Plan, your Restricted Stock Agreement or otherwise) shall not include, and shall not be triggered by, the Company’s or the Board’s assertion or belief that you lack requisite experience for your position. In addition to the foregoing equity grant, you shall be eligible for additional grants of Company common stock or options to acquire Company common stock at such time and on such terms as determined by the Company’s board of directors. You shall also receive pre-emptive rights permitting you to preserve your vested equity position in the Company in the event of any additional issuances of Company common stock (or securities convertible into common stock), at a per-share price equal to then current fair market value, as reasonably determined by the Board in good faith.
Grant Award On and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Triumph hereby agrees to make a grant (the “Grant”) to Grantee in the aggregate maximum amount of up to Two Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) (the “Maximum Grant Amount”) to provide partial funding for the Project.
Basis for Award The Award is made under the Plan pursuant to Section 6(f) thereof.
Stock Option Grant Subject to the provisions set forth herein and the terms and conditions of the Plan, and in consideration of the agreements of the Participant herein provided, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an Option to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock, at the exercise price per share, and on the schedule, set forth above.
Stock Option Award In the event of Employee’s involuntary Termination of Employment without Cause or Termination of Employment due to a resignation by Employee for Good Reason that, in either case, occurs on or before the second anniversary of a Change in Control, the Stock Option Award shall become exercisable immediately (whether or not previously exercisable) and shall remain exercisable for the three year period following such Termination of Employment. For this purpose, “Good Reason” has the same meaning determined by Employee’s written employment agreement in effect on the Grant Date. In the event there is no such agreement or definition, then Good Reason means the initial existence of one or more of the following conditions, arising without the consent of the Employee: (1) a material diminution in Employee’s base compensation; (2) a material diminution in Employee’s authority, duties, or responsibilities, so as to effectively cause Employee to no longer be performing the duties of his position; (3) a material diminution in the authority, duties, or responsibilities of the supervisor to whom Employee is required to report.
Grant Amount The maximum amount payable by the State under this Grant Agreement shall not exceed $<INSERT AMOUNT>.
Stock Grant Subject to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which has been provided to the Employee and is incorporated herein by reference, the Company grants to the Employee _________ shares of the common stock of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions and restrictions set forth below. If at any time while this Agreement is in effect (or shares of common stock granted hereunder shall be or remain unvested while Employee’s employment continues and has not yet terminated or ceased for any reason), there shall be any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company through the declaration of a stock dividend or through any recapitalization resulting in a stock split-up, combination or exchange of such shares, then the Committee shall make any adjustments it deems fair and appropriate (in view of such change) in the number of shares of common stock then subject to this Agreement. If any such adjustment shall result in a fractional share, such fraction shall be disregarded.
Stock Option Grants Pursuant to the following terms and conditions, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in Holdings’ stock option plan and Holdings agrees as follows:
i. Holdings shall establish a stock option plan (“Stock Option Plan”) providing for grants of options (the “Stock Options”) to purchase the common stock of BD Investment Holdings Inc., par value $0.01 (the “Buyer Common Stock”) in amounts not less than (i) 2% of the Buyer Common Stock (on a fully-diluted post-exercise basis) in the aggregate per year for all executives, employees and financial advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Executive selected by the Board after consultation with, and based on the recommendation of, the CEO, for the calendar years beginning on January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009 and (ii) 2.5% of the Buyer Common Stock (on a fully-diluted post-exercise basis) in the aggregate per year for all executives, employees and financial advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Executive, selected by the Board after consultation with, and based on the recommendation of, the CEO, for the calendar years beginning on January 1, 2010 and January 1, 2011.
ii. Beginning in January 2008, each annual Stock Option grant shall be made between the first and fifteenth business day of the year, unless the CEO, in his sole discretion, shall agree with the Board to a later date during such year (the “Default Date”). If the Board does not approve Stock Option grants in the amounts set forth in Section 4(c)(i) by the Default Date, then Stock Options in such amounts shall be granted pro-rata to existing option holders and employee stockholders as of such date of grant, except that the CEO’s share of such Stock Option grants shall be reduced by 75% and the other four most highly compensated executives’ share of such Stock Option grants shall be reduced by 50%.
iii. The per share exercise price of each Stock Option shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Buyer Common Stock on the date of grant. Each Stock Option granted shall vest in five equal tranches on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant subject to the option holder’s continued employment as of each such vesting date; provided, however, that all Stock Options shall automatically vest in full upon a “change in control” (as defined in the Option Plan, it being understood that an IPO shall in no event constitute a change in control). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, following an IPO, no additional Stock Options shall be granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan.
iv. Upon termination of his employment, the portion of any Stock Option granted to the Executive which has not yet vested shall terminate. In the event the Executive’s employment terminates for any reason other than for Cause, the Executive may exercise any vested portion of any Stock Option held by him on the date of termination provided that he does so prior to the earlier of (A) ninety (90) days following termination of employment and (B) the expiration of the scheduled term of the Stock Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive’s employment is terminated due to death or disability (as defined in Section 5(b)), then the Executive or, as applicable in the event of death, his beneficiary or estate, may exercise any vested portion of any Stock Option held by the Executive on the date employment terminates for the shorter of (A) the period of twelve (12) months following the termination date and, (B) with respect to each Stock Option individually, the expiration of the scheduled term of such Stock Option. Upon a termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company for Cause, all Stock Options shall be forfeited immediately.
v. Holdings, the Company and the Executive agree to cooperate to structure the Stock Option Plan so as to minimize or avoid additional taxes and interest that would otherwise be imposed on the Executive with respect to options granted under the Stock Option Plan pursuant to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code as amended (the “Code”); provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to grant the Executive a “gross-up” or other “make-whole” compensation for such purpose.
Date of Grant The date that the Option is granted (the “Date of Grant”) is set forth above.
Equity Grants The Employee shall be granted as soon as practicable on or after the Effective Date, a stock option to purchase 734,900 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Option”) (which option shall be issued as an incentive stock option to the maximum extent allowed under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”)) pursuant to the Company’s 2011 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Option shall be granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Twenty-Five percent (25%) of the Option shall be vested one year from the Effective Date and the remaining portion of such Option shall vest in equal monthly installments over a thirty-six (36) month period commencing on the first day of the month one year following the Effective Date, subject to continued employment by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) or if a termination of the Employee occurs within two (2) months prior thereto, then the vesting of all equity then owned by the Employee shall accelerate with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the unvested shares. In lieu of the Option at the request of the Employee, the Company shall issue restricted common stock. Restricted common stock will be issued at par value. If the equity to be issued is restricted common stock and not stock options, the number of shares of restricted common stock to be issued shall be calculated by determining the black scholes value of the grant as if it had been issued solely as stock options and dividing such number by the then current fair market value of the Company’s common stock so as to provide no additional benefit to the Employee for the non-payment of the exercise price. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that effective as of the date of the grant of the equity as set forth in the preceding paragraph, option agreement No. SP-0040 granted by the Company to the Employee as of April 30, 2011 shall be terminated and of no further force and effect. The Company acknowledges that any other options previously granted to the Employee that vest based upon the Employee providing consulting services to the Company shall continue to vest upon its terms as long as the Employee is providing services as a director, consultant or employee of the Company and that the definition of “cause” applicable to all such option agreements shall be the definition set forth herein and not as set forth in the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan.
