Exhibit (d)(3)
i2 TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
RECITALS
A. The Board has adopted the Plan for the purpose of retaining the services of selected Employees, non-employee members of the Board or the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary and consultants and
other independent advisors who provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).
B. Optionee is to render valuable services to the Corporation (or a Parent or Subsidiary), and this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with
the Corporation’s grant of an option to Optionee.
C. All capitalized terms in this
Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the attached Appendix.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby
agreed as follows:
1. Grant of
Option. The Corporation hereby grants to Optionee, as of the Grant Date, an option to purchase up to the number of Option Shares specified in the Grant Notice. The Option Shares shall be purchasable from time to time
during the option term specified in Paragraph 2 at the Exercise Price.
2. Option Term. This option shall have a term of ten (10) years measured from the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at the close of business on the Expiration Date,
unless sooner terminated in accordance with Paragraphs 5 or 6.
3. Limited Transferability. This option shall be neither transferable nor assignable by Optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution following
Optionee’s death and may be exercised, during Optionee’s lifetime, only by Optionee. However, if this option is designated a Non-Statutory Option in the Grant Notice, then this option may also be assigned in whole or in part during
Optionee’s lifetime in accordance with the terms of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The assigned portion shall be exercisable only by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to such assignment. The
terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for this option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate.
4. Dates of Exercise. This option
shall become exercisable for the Option Shares in one or more installments as specified in the Grant Notice. As the option becomes exercisable for such installments, those installments shall accumulate and the option shall remain exercisable for the
accumulated installments until the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the option term under Paragraph 5 or 6.
5. Cessation of Service. The option term specified in Paragraph 2 shall terminate (and this option shall cease to be outstanding) prior to the Expiration Date and
any
Post-Service Shares acquired upon exercise of this option shall be subject to cancellation should any of the following
provisions become applicable:
(i) Should Optionee cease to remain in
Service for any reason (other than death, Permanent Disability or Misconduct) while this option is outstanding, then Optionee shall have a period of twelve (12) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to exercise
this option, provided Optionee satisfies the Non-Compete Covenant during such twelve (12)-month period. In no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.
(ii) Should Optionee die while this option is outstanding, then the personal representative of Optionee’s estate or the person
or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to Optionee’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution shall have the right to exercise this option. Such right shall lapse and this option shall cease to be
outstanding upon the earlier of (A) the expiration of the twelve (12)- month period measured from the date of Optionee’s death or (B) the Expiration Date.
(iii) Should Optionee cease Service by reason of Permanent Disability while this option is outstanding, then Optionee shall have a
period of twelve (12) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to exercise this option. In no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.
(iv) During the limited period of post-Service exercisability, this option may not be exercised in
the aggregate for more than the number of vested Option Shares for which the option is exercisable at the time of Optionee’s cessation of Service. Upon the expiration of such limited exercise period or (if earlier) upon the Expiration Date,
this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested Option Shares for which the option has not been exercised. To the extent Optionee is not vested in the Option Shares at the time of Optionee’s cessation of Service, this
option shall immediately terminate and cease to be outstanding with respect to those shares.
(v) This option shall terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding upon breach by Optionee of the Non-Compete Covenant.
(vi) If Optionee breaches the Non-Compete Covenant at any time during the twelve (12) month period following Optionee’s
cessation of Service, then the certificates for the Post-Service Shares (together with any other assets or securities attributable thereto) shall, immediately upon such breach, be surrendered to the Corporation for cancellation concurrently with the
payment of the aggregate exercise price paid for such shares to Optionee (or any holder of the Post-Service Shares), and Optionee (or any holder of the Post-Service Shares) shall cease to have any further rights or claims with respect to such
Post-Service Shares (or other assets or securities attributable thereto).
2
(vii) Should Optionee’s Service be
terminated for Misconduct, then this option shall terminate immediately and cease to remain outstanding.
6. Special Acceleration of Option.
(a) In the event of a Corporate Transaction, the exercisability of this option, to the extent outstanding at such time but not otherwise fully exercisable, shall automatically accelerate so that this option
shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for any or all of the Option Shares at the time subject to this option as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. No such acceleration of this option,
however, shall occur if and to the extent: (i) this option is, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, either to be assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or to be replaced with a comparable option to purchase shares of the
capital stock of the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or (ii) this option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing on the Option Shares for which this option is not
exercisable at the time of the Corporate Transaction (the excess of the Fair Market Value of such Option Shares over the aggregate Exercise Price payable for such shares) and provides for subsequent pay-out in accordance with the same exercise
schedule in effect for the option pursuant to the option exercise schedule set forth in the Grant Notice. The determination of option comparability under clause (i) shall be made by the Plan Administrator, and such determination shall be final,
binding and conclusive.
(b) Immediately following the Corporate
Transaction, this option, to the extent not previously exercised, shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with the Corporate Transaction.
(c) If this option is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction, then this
option shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction had the option been
exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.
(d) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify,
reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
7. Adjustment in Option Shares. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any
stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made
to (i) the total number and/or class of securities subject to this option and (ii) the Exercise Price in order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder.
3
8. Stockholder
Rights. The holder of this option shall not have any stockholder rights with respect to the Option Shares until such person shall have exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and become a holder of record of the
purchased shares.
9. Manner of Exercising Option.
(a) In order to exercise this option with respect to all or any part of
the Option Shares for which this option is at the time exercisable, Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) must take the following actions:
(i) Execute and deliver to the Corporation a Notice of Exercise for the Option Shares for which the option is exercised.
(ii) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased shares in one or
more of the following forms:
(A) cash or check made payable to the
Corporation;
(B) a promissory note payable to the Corporation, but only
to the extent authorized by the Plan Administrator in accordance with Paragraph 14;
(C) shares of Common Stock held by Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting
purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date; or
(D) through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) shall concurrently provide irrevocable written instructions (I) to a
Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for
the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (II) to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares
directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale.
Except to the extent the sale and
remittance procedure is utilized in connection with the option exercise, payment of the Exercise Price must accompany the Notice of Exercise delivered to the Corporation in connection with the option exercise.
4
(iii) Furnish to the Corporation
appropriate documentation that the person or persons exercising the option (if other than Optionee) have the right to exercise this option.
(iv) Make appropriate arrangements with the Corporation (or Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for the satisfaction of all Federal, state and local income and
employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the option exercise.
(b) As soon as practical after the Exercise Date, the Corporation shall issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising this option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares,
with the appropriate legends affixed thereto.
(c) In no event may this
option be exercised for any fractional shares.
10. Proprietary
Information and Non-Competition. Optionee acknowledges that the Corporation’s business success requires the protection of its trade secrets and proprietary or otherwise confidential information. Optionee hereby
affirms and renews the obligation to protect the Corporation’s confidential information, as set forth and defined in the agreement between the Corporation and Optionee regarding protection of confidential information (which may be entitled
“Employee Proprietary Information Agreement”).
The Corporation hereby agrees to upon
execution of this Agreement (and hereafter throughout Optionee’s employment) provide Optionee with confidential information and immediate vesting in 1% of the Option Shares subject to this Option (as indicated in the vesting schedule set forth
in the Notice of Grant), and by signing this Agreement, Optionee acknowledges delivery and receipt of same. Optionee further acknowledges that in and as a result of his or her employment by Corporation, he or she will be making use of, acquiring,
accessing, and/or adding to such confidential information. Optionee recognizes that access to and knowledge of this information is essential to the performance of Optionee’s duties hereunder. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that
Corporation’s confidential information is a valuable, special, and unique asset of Corporation and such confidential information is extremely important in the software industry. Optionee acknowledges that the disclosure of any confidential
information may cause imminent harm and substantial, irreparable injury, including loss of profit and other damages such as loss of goodwill and a decrease in market share which are difficult to calculate. Optionee further acknowledges that
Corporation retains a proprietary interest in its confidential information that persists beyond the termination of Optionee’s employment or this Agreement. Optionee further acknowledges that the preservation and protection of the confidential
information is an essential part of Optionee’s employment by and business relationship with Corporation and that Optionee has a duty of fidelity and trust to Corporation in handling the confidential information.
For good and valuable consideration (including the Corporation’s agreement to provide Optionee with confidential
information and the immediate vesting of 1% of the Option Shares subject to this Option), it is agreed as follows:
5
(a) Optionee acknowledges that the
confidential information which the Corporation is obligated to provide to him or her is special and unique, and that in exchange for Optionee’s agreement to be bound by the provisions of this Paragraph, Optionee is receiving access to the
confidential information and the immediate vesting of 1% of the Option Shares subject to this Option. Optionee further acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Paragraph are specifically designed to enforce his or her agreement to never
use or disclose the Corporation’s confidential information. Optionee further acknowledges that the restrictions in this Paragraph as to time, geographical area, and scope of activity to be restrained are reasonable, and do not impose a greater
restraint than necessary to protect the Corporation’s confidential information, goodwill, and other legitimate business interests. Accordingly, Optionee agrees that during the term of his or her employment and for a period of twelve (12) months
from the date his or her employment with the Corporation terminates, for whatever reason:
(i) Optionee shall not provide any services (whether as an employee, agent, consultant, advisor, or independent contractor or in any other capacity, directly or indirectly) to any competitor in a position that
has substantially the same functions and/or responsibilities as the position occupied by the Optionee at the time of Optionee’s cessation of service. Nor shall Optionee provide any services (whether as an employee, agent, consultant, advisor,
or independent contractor or in any other capacity, directly or indirectly) to any competitor in a capacity in which Optionee would be in a position to use or disclose the Corporation’s confidential information (whether for the benefit of the
Optionee or the competitor, or to the detriment of the Corporation). For the purposes of this covenant a competitor shall mean any corporation, partnership, or other entity that (i) is doing business in the geographic region in which Optionee was
employed by the Corporation and (ii) is engaged in a business or has one or more product lines competitive with the Corporation.
(ii) Optionee shall not request, advise or suggest to any customer of the Corporation, nor shall Optionee directly or indirectly assist any other person or entity to request,
advise, or suggest to any customer of the Corporation, that the Customer curtail, cancel or withdraw its business from the Corporation or that the Customer not expand its relationship with the Corporation.
(iii) Optionee shall not directly or indirectly solicit or accept the business of any customer or
prospect of the Corporation with whom Optionee (i) had contact during the Optionee’s last twelve (12) months of employment with the Corporation, or (ii) had access to the Corporation’s confidential information with respect to the customer
or prospect during the last twelve (12) months of employment with the Corporation.
(iv) Optionee shall not induce or solicit any employee of the Corporation to leave the employ of the Corporation.
(b) If any restriction set forth in this Paragraph is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, then Optionee
agrees, and hereby submits, to the reduction and limitation of such restriction to such geographic area, range of activities or period as may be enforceable.
6
(c) Optionee acknowledges that because he
or she will have knowledge of and exposure to Corporation’s confidential information, the Corporation has the right to enforce this Agreement, and any of its provisions, by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without
bond, and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies the Corporation may have for breach of this Agreement. Optionee agrees that injunctive relief is appropriate to enforce this Paragraph of this Agreement, and expressly consents to the entry
of such relief.
11. Compliance with Laws and
Regulations.
(a) The exercise of this option and the issuance of
the Option Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance by the Corporation and Optionee with all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if
applicable) on which the Common Stock may be listed for trading at the time of such exercise and issuance.
(b) The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this
option shall relieve the Corporation of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Corporation, however, shall use its best efforts to obtain all such
approvals.
12. Successors and
Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Paragraphs 3 and 6, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and assigns and Optionee,
Optionee’s assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Optionee’s estate.
13. Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its
principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to Optionee at the address indicated below Optionee’s signature line on the Grant Notice. All notices shall be deemed
effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.
14. Financing. The Plan Administrator may, in its absolute discretion and without any obligation to do so, permit Optionee to pay the
Exercise Price for the purchased Option Shares by delivering a promissory note. The terms of any such promissory note (including the interest rate, the requirements for collateral and the terms of repayment) shall be established by the Plan
Administrator in its sole discretion.1
15. Construction. This Agreement and the option evidenced hereby are made and granted pursuant
to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to the terms of the
1 Authorization of payment of the Exercise Price by a promissory note may, under currently proposed
Treasury Regulations, result in the loss of incentive stock option treatment under the Federal tax laws.
7
Plan. All decisions of the Plan Administrator with respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this
Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in this option.
16. Governing Law. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without resort to that State’s
conflict-of-laws rules.
17. Excess
Shares. If the Option Shares covered by this Agreement exceed, as of the Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock which may without stockholder approval be issued under the Plan, then this option shall be void
with respect to such excess shares, unless stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan is obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.
18. Additional Terms Applicable to an Incentive Option. In the
event this option is designated an Incentive Option in the Grant Notice, the following terms and conditions shall also apply to the grant:
(i) This option shall cease to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Option if (and to the extent) this option is exercised for one or more Option Shares: (A) more
than three (3) months after the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or Permanent Disability or (B) more than twelve (12) months after the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee by reason of Permanent Disability.
(ii) No installment under this option shall qualify for favorable tax
treatment as an Incentive Option if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for which such installment first becomes exercisable hereunder would, when added to the aggregate value
(determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of any earlier installments of the Common Stock and any other securities for which this option or any other Incentive Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether under the
Plan or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should such One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000)
limitation be exceeded in any calendar year, this option shall nevertheless become exercisable for the excess shares in such calendar year as a Non-Statutory Option.
(iii) Should the exercisability of this option be accelerated upon a Corporate Transaction, then this option shall qualify for
favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Option only to the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for which this option first becomes exercisable in the calendar year in which the Corporate
Transaction occurs does not, when added to the aggregate value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of the Common Stock or
8
other securities for which this option or one or more other Incentive Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date
(whether under the Plan or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should the applicable One
Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation be exceeded in the calendar year of such Corporate Transaction, the option may nevertheless be exercised for the excess shares in such calendar year as a Non-Statutory Option.
(iv) Should Optionee hold, in addition to this option, one or more other options to purchase Common
Stock which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year as this option, then the foregoing limitations on the exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such options
are granted.
