Company shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Company with respect to
any matter, right, obligation, or election which is the responsibility of or
which is allocated to the Company herein, provided the officer has apparent
authority with respect to such matter, right, obligation, or election.
4. EXERCISE OF THE OPTION.
4.1 RIGHT TO EXERCISE. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Option
shall be exercisable on and after the Initial Vesting Date and prior to the
termination of the Option (as provided in Section 6) in an amount not to exceed
the Number of Option Shares multiplied by the Vested Ratio less the number of
shares previously acquired upon exercise of the Option. In no event shall the
Option be exercisable for more shares than the Number of Option Shares.
4.2 METHOD OF EXERCISE. Exercise of the Option shall be by written
notice to the Company which must state the election to exercise the Option, the
number of whole shares of Stock for which the Option is being exercised and such
other representations and agreements as to the Optionee's investment intent with
respect to such shares as may be required pursuant to the provisions of this
Option Agreement. The written notice must be signed by the Optionee and must be
delivered in person, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested,
by confirmed facsimile transmission, or by such other means as the Company may
permit, to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, or other authorized
representative of the Participating Company Group, prior to the termination of
the Option as set forth in Section 6, accompanied by full payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased. The
Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such
written notice and the aggregate Exercise Price.
4.3 PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE.
(a) FORMS OF CONSIDERATION AUTHORIZED. Except as otherwise provided
below, payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares of Stock
for which the Option is being exercised shall be made (i) in cash, by check, or
cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company of whole shares of Stock owned by
the Optionee having a Fair Market Value (as determined by the Company without
regard to any restrictions on transferability applicable to such stock by reason
of federal or state securities laws or agreements with an underwriter for the
Company) not less than the aggregate Exercise Price, (iii) by means of a
Cashless Exercise, as defined in Section 4.3(c), or (iv) by any combination of
the foregoing.
(b) TENDER OF STOCK. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option may
not be exercised by tender to the Company of shares of Stock to the extent such
tender of Stock would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law,
regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company's stock. The
Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of shares of Stock unless
such shares either have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months
or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company.
(c) CASHLESS EXERCISE. A "CASHLESS EXERCISE" means the assignment in
a form acceptable to the Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect
to some or all of the shares of Stock acquired upon the exercise of the Option
pursuant to a program or
4
5
procedure approved by the Company (including, without limitation, through an
exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time
to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). The Company
reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Company's sole and absolute
discretion, to decline to approve or terminate any such program or procedure.
4.4 TAX WITHHOLDING. At the time the Option is exercised, in whole or
in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, the Optionee
hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to the
Optionee, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for (including by
means of a Cashless Exercise to the extent permitted by the Company), any sums
required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding
obligations of the Participating Company Group, if any, which arise in
connection with the Option, including, without limitation, obligations arising
upon (i) the exercise, in whole or in part, of the Option, (ii) the transfer, in
whole or in part, of any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option, (iii) the
operation of any law or regulation providing for the imputation of interest, or
(iv) the lapsing of any restriction with respect to any shares acquired upon
exercise of the Option. The Optionee is cautioned that the Option is not
exercisable unless the tax withholding obligations of the Participating Company
Group are satisfied. Accordingly, the Optionee may not be able to exercise the
Option when desired even though the Option is vested, and the Company shall have
no obligation to issue a certificate for such shares or release such shares from
any escrow provided for herein.
4.5 CERTIFICATE REGISTRATION. Except in the event the Exercise Price is
paid by means of a Cashless Exercise, the certificate for the shares as to which
the Option is exercised shall be registered in the name of the Optionee, or, if
applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Optionee.
4.6 RESTRICTIONS ON GRANT OF THE OPTION AND ISSUANCE OF SHARES. The
grant of the Option and the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise of the
Option shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of
federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities. The Option may
not be exercised if the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise would
constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities
laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or
market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, the Option
may not be exercised unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities
Act shall at the time of exercise of the Option be in effect with respect to the
shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or (ii) in the opinion of legal
counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option may be
issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. THE OPTIONEE IS CAUTIONED THAT
THE OPTION MAY NOT BE EXERCISED UNLESS THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED.
ACCORDINGLY, THE OPTIONEE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXERCISE THE OPTION WHEN DESIRED
EVEN THOUGH THE OPTION IS VESTED. Questions concerning this restriction should
be directed to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The inability of the
Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if
any, deemed by the Company's legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful
issuance and sale of any shares subject to the Option 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. As a condition to
the exercise of the Option, the
5
6
Company may require the Optionee to satisfy any qualifications that may be
necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or
regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as
may be requested by the Company.
4.7 FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required to issue
fractional shares upon the exercise of the Option.
5. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF THE OPTION. The Option may be exercised during the
lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee or the Optionee's guardian or
legal representative and may not be assigned or transferred in any manner except
by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Following the death of the
Optionee, the Option, to the extent provided in Section 7, may be exercised by
the Optionee's legal representative or by any person empowered to do so under
the deceased Optionee's will or under the then applicable laws of descent and
distribution.
6. TERMINATION OF THE OPTION. The Option shall terminate and may no longer
be exercised on the first to occur of (a) the Option Expiration Date, (b) the
last date for exercising the Option following termination of the Optionee's
Service as described in Section 7, or (c) a Transfer of Control to the extent
provided in Section 8.
7. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE.
7.1 OPTION EXERCISABILITY.
(a) DISABILITY. If the Optionee's Service with the Participating
Company Group is terminated because of the Disability of the Optionee, the
Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the
Optionee's Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee (or the
Optionee's guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration
of twelve (12) months after the date on which the Optionee's Service terminated,
but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.
(b) DEATH. If the Optionee's Service with the Participating
Company Group is terminated because of the death of the Optionee, the Option, to
the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the Optionee's
Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee's legal representative or
other person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by reason of the
Optionee's death at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after
the date on which the Optionee's Service terminated, but in any event no later
than the Option Expiration Date. The Optionee's Service shall be deemed to have
terminated on account of death if the Optionee dies within three (3) months
after the Optionee's termination of Service.
(c) OTHER TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Optionee's Service with
the Participating Company Group terminates for any reason, except Disability or
death, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable by the Optionee on
the date on which the Optionee's Service terminated, may be exercised by the
Optionee within three (3) months (or such other longer period of time as
determined by the Board, in its sole discretion) after the date on which the
Optionee's Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option
Expiration Date.
6
7
7.2 EXTENSION IF EXERCISE PREVENTED BY LAW. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the exercise of the Option within the applicable time periods set
forth in Section 7.1 is prevented by the provisions of Section 4.6, the Option
shall remain exercisable until three (3) months after the date the Optionee is
notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no
later than the Option Expiration Date.
7.3 EXTENSION IF OPTIONEE SUBJECT TO SECTION 16(b). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if a sale within the applicable time periods set forth in Section
7.1 of shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option would subject the
Optionee to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Option shall
remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day
following the date on which a sale of such shares by the Optionee would no
longer be subject to such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth (190th) day
after the Optionee's termination of Service, or (iii) the Option Expiration
Date.
7.4 LEAVE OF ABSENCE. For purposes of Section 7.1, the Optionee's
Service with the Participating Company Group shall not be deemed to terminate if
the Optionee takes any military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of
absence approved by the Company of ninety (90) days or less. In the event of a
leave of absence in excess of ninety (90) days, the Optionee's Service shall be
deemed to terminate on the ninety-first (91st) day of such leave unless the
Optionee's right to return to Service with the Participating Company Group
remains guaranteed by statute or contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless
otherwise designated by the Company (or required by law), a leave of absence
shall not be treated as Service for purposes of determining the Optionee's
Vested Ratio.
8. TRANSFER OF CONTROL.
8.1 DEFINITIONS.
(a) An "OWNERSHIP CHANGE EVENT" shall be deemed to have occurred if
any of the following occurs with respect to the Company:
(i) the direct or indirect sale or exchange in a single or series
of related transactions by the stockholders of the Company of more than fifty
percent (50%) of the voting stock of the Company;
(ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is a party;
(iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company; or
(iv) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
(b) A "TRANSFER OF CONTROL" shall mean an Ownership Change Event or a
series of related Ownership Change Events (collectively, the "TRANSACTION")
wherein the stockholders of the Company immediately before the Transaction do
not retain immediately after the Transaction, in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of shares of the Company's voting stock
immediately before the Transaction, direct or indirect beneficial ownership of
more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the
7
8
outstanding voting stock of the Company or the corporation or corporations to
which the assets of the Company were transferred (the "TRANSFEREE
CORPORATION(S)"), as the case may be. For purposes of the preceding sentence,
indirect beneficial ownership shall include, without limitation, an interest
resulting from ownership of the voting stock of one or more corporations which,
as a result of the Transaction, own the Company or the Transferee
Corporation(s), as the case may be, either directly or through one or more
subsidiary corporations. The Board shall have the right to determine whether
multiple sales or exchanges of the voting stock of the Company or multiple
Ownership Change Events are related, and its determination shall be final,
binding and conclusive.
8.2 EFFECT OF TRANSFER OF CONTROL ON OPTION.
(a) In the event of a Transfer of Control, the surviving, continuing,
successor, or purchasing corporation or parent corporation thereof, as the case
may be (the "ACQUIRING CORPORATION"), may either assume the Company's rights and
obligations under the Option or substitute for the Option a substantially
equivalent option for the Acquiring Corporation's stock. For purposes of this
Section 8.2, an Option shall be deemed assumed if, following the Transfer of
Control, the Option confers the right to purchase, for each share of Stock
subject to the Option immediately prior to the Transfer of Control, the
consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) to which a
holder of a share of Stock on the effective date of the Transfer of Control was
entitled. In the event the Acquiring Corporation elects not to assume the
Company's rights and obligations under the Option or substitute for the Option
in connection with the Transfer of Control, any unexercised portion of the
Option shall be immediately exercisable and vested in full as of the date ten
(10) days prior to the date of the Transfer of Control. Any exercise of the
Option that was permissible solely by reason of this Section 8.2 shall be
conditioned upon the consummation of the Transfer of Control. The Option shall
terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the Transfer
of Control to the extent that the Option is neither assumed or substituted for
by the Acquiring Corporation in connection with the Transfer of Control nor
exercised as of the date of the Transfer of Control. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, shares acquired upon exercise of the Option prior to the Transfer of
Control and any consideration received pursuant to the Transfer of Control with
respect to such shares shall continue to be subject to all applicable provisions
of this Option Agreement except as otherwise provided herein. Furthermore,
notwithstanding the foregoing, if the corporation the stock of which is subject
to the Option immediately prior to an Ownership Change Event described in
Section 8.1(a)(i) constituting a Transfer of Control is the surviving or
continuing corporation and immediately after such Ownership Change Event less
than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of its voting stock
is held by another corporation or by other corporations that are members of an
affiliated group within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code without
regard to the provisions of Section 1504(b) of the Code, the Option shall not
terminate unless the Board otherwise provides in its sole discretion.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event
of a Transfer of Control (other than a Transfer of Control in which any
unexercised portion of the Option shall be immediately exercisable and vested in
full pursuant to Section 8(a) above), the Vested Ratio determined pursuant to
Section 1.1(f) above shall be adjusted effective upon and following the date of
the Transfer of Control by adding to the Vested Ratio as otherwise
8
9
determined pursuant to Section 1.1(f) the following fraction (provided that in
no event shall the Vested Ratio exceed l/l):
(i) twelve forty-eighths (12/48) if the consideration for each share
of Stock received by the stockholders of the Company has a fair market value of
less than fifteen dollars ($15); or
(ii) thirty forty-eighths (30/48) if the consideration for each share
of Stock received by the stockholders of the Company has a fair market value of
at least fifteen dollars ($15) but less than eighteen dollars ($18); or
(iii) thirty-six forty-eighths (36/48) if the consideration for each
share of Stock received by the stockholders of the Company has a fair market
value of at least eighteen dollars ($18).
9. ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event of any stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination,
reclassification, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company,
appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number, Exercise Price and class of
shares of stock subject to the Option. If a majority of the shares which are of
the same class as the shares that are subject to the Option are exchanged for,
converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to an Ownership
Change Event) shares of another corporation (the "NEW SHARES"), the Board may
unilaterally amend the Option to provide that the Option is exercisable for New
Shares. In the event of any such amendment, the Number of Option Shares and the
Exercise Price shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner, as determined
by the Board, in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 shall
be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number, as determined by the Board,
and in no event may the Exercise Price be decreased to an amount less than the
par value, if any, of the stock subject to the Option. The adjustments
determined by the Board pursuant to this Section 9 shall be final, binding and
conclusive.
10. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER, EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT. The Optionee shall
have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Option
until the date of the issuance of a certificate for the shares for which the
Option has been exercised (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of
the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No
adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which
the record date is prior to the date such certificate is issued, except as
provided in Section 9. Nothing in this Option Agreement shall confer upon the
Optionee any right to continue in the Service of a Participating Company or
interfere in any way with any right of the Participating Company Group to
terminate the Optionee's Service as an Employee or Consultant, as the case may
be, at any time.
11. LEGENDS. The Company may at any time place legends referencing any
applicable federal, state or foreign securities law restrictions on all
certificates representing shares of stock subject to the provisions of this
Option Agreement. The Optionee shall, at the request of the Company, promptly
present to the Company any and all certificates representing
9
10
shares acquired pursuant to the Option in the possession of the Optionee in
order to carry out the provisions of this Section.
12. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF SHARES. No shares acquired upon exercise of
the Option may be sold, exchanged, transferred (including, without limitation,
any transfer to a nominee or agent of the Optionee), assigned, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, including by operation of law, in any
manner which violates any of the provisions of this Option Agreement, and any
such attempted disposition shall be void. The Company shall not be required (a)
to transfer on its books any shares which will have been transferred in
violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Option Agreement or (b) to
treat as owner of such shares or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to
pay dividends to any transferee to whom such shares will have been so
transferred.
13. BINDING EFFECT. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth
herein, this Option Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns.
14. TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT. The Board may terminate or amend the Option
at any time; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 8.2 in
connection with a Transfer of Control, no such termination or amendment may
adversely affect the Option or any unexercised portion hereof without the
consent of the Optionee unless such termination or amendment is necessary to
comply with any applicable law or government regulation. No amendment or
addition to this Option Agreement shall be effective unless in writing.
15. INTEGRATED AGREEMENT. This Option Agreement constitutes the entire
understanding and agreement of the Optionee and the Participating Company Group
with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and there are no
agreements, understandings, restrictions, representations, or warranties among
the Optionee and the Participating Company Group with respect to such subject
matter other than those as set forth or provided for herein, except for the
provisions set forth in a change of control agreement between the Company and
the Optionee, if any. To the extent contemplated herein, the provisions of this
Option Agreement shall survive any exercise of the Option and shall remain in
full force and effect.
16. APPLICABLE LAW. This Option Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of California as such laws are applied to agreements between
California residents entered into and to be performed entirely within the State
of California.
