iCIMS HOLDING CORP. AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.13

iCIMS HOLDING CORP.

AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [•], by and between iCIMS Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation and successor to iCIMS Holding LLC (f/k/a Cersei Topco, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and [•] (“Optionholder”).

The Company and Optionholder desire to enter into this Agreement whereby the Company will grant Optionholder the Options specified herein to acquire certain shares of Common Stock of the Company. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2018 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. If a provision of this Agreement is inconsistent or conflicts with the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of this Agreement will govern and prevail.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Plan Acknowledgment. Each of the undersigned agree that this Agreement has been executed and delivered, and the Options have been granted hereunder, in connection with and as a part of the compensation and incentive arrangements between the Company and Optionholder and, except as otherwise specified herein, pursuant to, and subject to, each of the terms and conditions of the Plan, and Optionholder agrees to be bound by, and comply with, the terms of the Plan.

2. Options.

(a) Service Option Grant. The Company hereby grants to Optionholder, pursuant to the Plan, an Option to purchase up to [•] shares of Common Stock (the “Service Option” and, such shares, the “Service Option Shares”), at an exercise price per share of $[•] (the “Option Price”). The Option Price and the number of Service Option Shares issuable upon exercise of any Service Option will be equitably adjusted for any split, dividend, or reclassification of Common Stock that occurs subsequent to the date of this Agreement. The Service Option will expire as provided in Section 2(d). The Service Option is not intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. The “Vesting Commencement Date” for purposes of this Agreement is [•].

(b) Return Target Option Grant. The Company hereby grants to Optionholder, pursuant to the Plan, an option to purchase up to [•] shares of Common Stock (the “Return Target Option” and, such shares, the “Return Target Option Shares”), at an exercise price per share equal to the Option Price. The Option Price and the number of Return Target Option Shares issuable upon exercise of any Return Target Options will be equitably adjusted for any split, dividend, or reclassification of Common Stock that occurs subsequent to the date of this Agreement. The Return Target Options will expire as provided in Section 2(d). The Return Target Options are not intended to be “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

(c) Exercisability. Options shall become vested and exercisable in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2(c) and Section 7(b) of the Plan. Options that have become vested as of the date of determination are referred to herein as “Vested Options.” Optionholder may only exercise Options that are Vested Options.

(i) Service Options. The Service Options described in Section 2(a) will vest and become exercisable with respect to 25% of the Service Option Shares underlying the Service Options on the 12-month anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date (the “First Vesting Date”) if Optionholder remains in the continuous employ of or service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the date hereof through and including such date, and with respect to an additional 6.25% of the Service Option Shares at the end of each full three calendar month period after the First Vesting Date if, Optionholder is, and has been, continuously employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries from the date of this Agreement through such date.

(ii) Return Target Options. The Return Target Options will vest and become exercisable if (A) Optionholder is, and has been, continuously employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries from the date of this Agreement through the date of a Sale of the Company and (B) if upon the consummation of such Sale of the Company, the cumulative total of all cash distributions made to, or other cash proceeds received by, the Investor Fund (excluding management or transaction fees and expenses, any other advisory fees and expenses, any board fees and expenses, or any other expenses borne by the Investor Fund) in respect of its ownership of equity or debt securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any loans provided by the Investor Fund during the life of the Investor Fund’s investment period, equals or exceeds the Investor Returns Target (the “Vesting Condition”). For purposes of calculating the distributions and proceeds under clause (B) immediately above, all distributions made to the Investor Fund will be net of all accrued but unpaid management fees, all expenses associated with the ultimate sale of the Company business borne by the Investor Fund, and assuming, for purposes of such calculation, the vesting (and exercise, if applicable) and receipt of any applicable proceeds payable with respect to the holder (prior to the calculation of the distributions and proceeds under clause (B) immediately above) of all outstanding options, warrants and other outstanding rights to acquire shares of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Return Target Options shall expire, and shall not vest or become exercisable, if the Vesting Condition has not been satisfied as of the date of a Sale of the Company.

(d) Expiration of Options. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, any portion of the Options granted hereunder that have not vested and become exercisable prior to the Termination Date will expire on the Termination Date and may not be exercised under any circumstance. Any portion of the Options granted hereunder that have vested and become exercisable prior to the Termination Date will expire on the earlier of (i) 30 days after the Termination Date and (ii) the close of business on the tenth anniversary of [insert original grant date]. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any portion of the Options granted hereunder that have not been or are not exercised prior to or in connection with a Sale of the Company, as described in clauses (i) or (ii) of such definition, shall expire upon the consummation of any such transaction.

(e) Procedure for Exercise. At the time after any portion of the Options granted hereunder have become vested and exercisable with respect to any Option Shares and prior to the expiration of any such Options, Optionholder may exercise any portion of the Options granted hereunder with respect to Option Shares vested and exercisable pursuant to Section 2(c) by

2

delivering written notice of exercise to the Company, together with payment in full by delivery of a cashier’s, personal or certified check, or wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company, in the amount equal to the number of Option Shares to be acquired multiplied by the applicable Option Price (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”); provided that Optionholder may, in lieu of paying the Aggregate Exercise Price in cash, indicate in Optionholder’s exercise notice that such Optionholder intends to effect a cashless exercise thereof and, in such case, the Company shall cancel such number of Option Shares otherwise issuable to Optionholder having a Fair Market Value equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price of the Options being exercised, in which event the Company shall only issue Option Shares for the remainder of the Options being exercised after satisfying the Aggregate Exercise Price.

(f) Securities Laws Restrictions. Optionholder represents that, when Optionholder exercises any portion of the Options, he or she will be purchasing the Option Shares represented thereby for Optionholder’s own account and not on behalf of others. Optionholder understands and acknowledges that federal, state, and foreign securities laws govern and restrict Optionholder’s right to offer, sell, or otherwise dispose of any Option Shares unless Optionholder’s offer, sale, or other disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act and federal, state, and foreign securities laws or, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, such offer, sale, or other disposition is exempt from registration thereunder. Optionholder agrees that he or she will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any Option Shares in any manner which would: (i) require the Company to file any registration statement (or similar filing under applicable securities law) with the Securities and Exchange Commission or to amend or supplement any such filing or (ii) violate or cause the Company to violate the Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any other applicable securities law. Optionholder further understands that the certificates (if any) for any Option Shares that Optionholder purchases will bear the legend set forth in the Plan or such other legends as the Company deems necessary or desirable in connection with the Securities Act or other rules, regulations, or laws.

(g) Code Section 409A Compliance. The Company may reduce or expand the period of time following an event in which the vested portion of the Options may be exercised if Internal Revenue Service guidance specifies that such a reduction is required or that such an expansion is permitted under the provisions of Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code. In addition, the Company may (but shall be under no obligation to) make any other changes to this Agreement it determines are necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code. Optionholder hereby agrees and acknowledges, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates makes any representations with respect to the application of Section 409A of the Code to the Options and, by the acceptance of the Options, Optionholder agrees to accept the potential application of Section 409A of the Code to the Option and the other tax consequences of the issuance, vesting, ownership, modification, adjustment, exercise, and disposition of the Options.

(h) Withholding of Taxes. The Company shall be entitled, if necessary or desirable, to withhold from Optionholder from any amounts due and payable by the Company to Optionholder (or secure payment from Optionholder in lieu of withholding) the amount of any withholding or other tax due from the Company with respect to any Options or Common Stock issuable under this Agreement.

3

(i) Limited Transferability of the Options. The Options granted hereunder are personal to Optionholder and are not transferable by Optionholder except pursuant to the laws of descent or distribution. Only Optionholder or his or her legal guardian or representative may exercise the Options granted hereunder.

3. Optionholder’s Representations. Optionholder hereby represents and warrants to the Company that (a) the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by Optionholder does not and will not conflict with, breach, violate, or cause a default under any contract, agreement, instrument, order, judgment, or decree to which Optionholder is a party or by which he or she is bound, (b) Optionholder is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, noncompete agreement, or confidentiality agreement with any other Person (other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries), and (c) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and Optionholder, this Agreement shall be the valid and binding obligation of Optionholder, enforceable against Optionholder in accordance with its terms. Optionholder hereby acknowledges and represents that he or she has consulted with (or has had an opportunity to consult with) independent legal counsel regarding his or her rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Plan) and that he or she fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein and therein.

4. Notices. Any notices required or permitted under this Agreement or the Plan will be delivered in accordance with the requirements of the Plan.

5. Third Party Beneficiaries; Successors and Assigns. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Investor Fund is a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and the Plan. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement and the Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Optionholder, the Company, and the Investor Fund and their respective heirs, successors, and assigns (including subsequent holders of Option Shares); provided that the rights and obligations of Optionholder under this Agreement and the Plan shall not be assignable except as permitted by Section 2(i) or in connection with a permitted transfer of Option Shares in accordance with the Plan.

6. Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan and the other documents referred to herein and therein embody the complete agreement and understanding among the parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement.
