------------------------
AGREEMENT made as of this ______ day of ____ 19__, by and among
C1earCommerce Corporation (f/k/a Outreach Communications Corporation), a
Delaware corporation (the "Company") and _______________ (the "Optionee") under
the Company's 1997 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan.
All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to
them in this Agreement or in the attached Appendix.
A. EXERCISE OF OPTION
------------------
1. Purchase. Optionee hereby purchases ____________ shares of Common
--------
Stock (the "Purchased Shares") pursuant to that certain option (the "Option")
granted Optionee on ____________, 199_ (the "Grant Date") to purchase up to
_____ shares of Common Stock under the Plan at the exercise price of $_______
per share (the "Exercise Price").
2. Payment. Concurrently with the delivery of this Agreement to the
-------
Company, Optionee shall pay the Exercise Price for the Purchased Shares in
accordance with the provisions of the Option Agreement and shall deliver a duly-
executed blank Assignment Separate from Certificate (in the form attached hereto
as Schedule 1) with respect to the Purchased Shares.
----------
3. Escrow. The Company shall have the right to hold the Purchased
------
Shares in escrow until those shares have vested in accordance with the Vesting
Schedule.
4. Stockholder Rights. Until such time as the Company exercises the
------------------
Repurchase Right or the First Refusal Right, Optionee (or any successor in
interest) shall have all the rights of a stockholder (including voting, dividend
and liquidation rights) with respect to the Purchased Shares, subject, however,
to the transfer restrictions of Articles B and C.
B. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE
-------------------------
1. Restricted Securities. The Purchased Shares have not been
---------------------
registered under the 1933 Act and are being issued to Optionee in reliance upon
the exemption from such registration provided by SEC Rule 701 for stock
issuances under compensatory benefit plans such as the Plan. Optionee hereby
confirms that Optionee has been informed that the Purchased Shares are
restricted securities under the 1933 Act and may not be resold or transferred
unless the Purchased Shares are first registered under the Federal securities
laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Accordingly,
Optionee hereby acknowledges that Optionee is prepared to hold the Purchased
Shares for an indefinite period and that Optionee is aware that SEC Rule 144
issued under
the 1933 Act which exempts certain resales of unrestricted securities is not
presently available to exempt the resale of the Purchased Shares from the
registration requirements of the 1933 Act.
2. Restrictions on Disposition of Purchased Shares. Optionee shall
-----------------------------------------------
make no disposition of the Purchased Shares (other than a Permitted Transfer)
unless and until there is compliance with all of the following requirements:
(i) Optionee shall have provided the Company with a written summary
of the terms and conditions of the proposed disposition.
(ii) Optionee shall have complied with all requirements of this
Agreement applicable to the disposition of the Purchased Shares.
(iii) Optionee shall have provided the Company with written
assurances, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that (a) the
proposed disposition does not require registration of the Purchased Shares
under the 1933 Act or (b) all appropriate action necessary for compliance
with the registration requirements of the 1933 Act or any exemption from
registration available under the 1933 Act (including Rule 144) has been
taken.
The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any
Purchased Shares which have been sold or transferred in violation of the
provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as the owner of the Purchased
--
Shares, or otherwise to accord voting, dividend or liquidation rights to, any
transferee to whom the Purchased Shares have been transferred in contravention
of this Agreement.
3. Restrictive Legends. The stock certificates for the Purchased
-------------------
Shares shall be endorsed with the following restrictive legends:
(i) "The shares represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The shares may not be sold or
offered for sale in the absence of (a) an effective registration statement
for the shares under such Act, (b) a `no action' letter of the Securities
and Exchange Commission with respect to such sale or offer or (c)
satisfactory assurances to the Company that registration under such Act is
not required with respect to such sale or offer."
(ii) "The shares represented by this certificate are unvested and
are subject to certain repurchase rights and rights of first refusal
granted to the Company and accordingly may not be sold, assigned,
transferred, encumbered, or in any manner disposed of except in conformity
with the terms of a written agreement dated ___________, 199__ between the
Company and the registered holder of the shares (or the predecessor in
interest to the shares). A copy of such agreement is maintained at the
Company's principal corporate offices."
-2-
C. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS
---------------------
1. Restriction on Transfer. Except for any Permitted Transfer,
-----------------------
Optionee shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the
Purchased Shares which are subject to the Repurchase Right. In addition,
Purchased Shares which are released from the Repurchase Right shall not be
transferred, assigned, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in contravention of
the First Refusal Fight or the Market Stand-Off.
2. Transferee Obligations. Each person (other than the Company) to
----------------------
whom the Purchased Shares are transferred by means of a Permitted Transfer must,
as a condition precedent to the validity of such transfer, acknowledge in
writing to the Company that such person is bound by the provisions of this
Agreement and that the transferred shares are subject to (i) the Repurchase
Right, (ii) the First Refusal Right and (iii) the Market Stand-Off, to the same
extent such shares would be so subject if retained by Optionee.
3. Market Stand-Off.
----------------
(a) In connection with any underwritten public offering by the
Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement
filed under the 1933 Act, including the Company's initial public offering, Owner
shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any
option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer for value or
otherwise agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to,
any Purchased Shares without the prior written consent of the Company or its
underwriters. Such restriction (the "Market Stand-Off") shall be in effect for
such period of time from and after the effective date of the final prospectus
for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters. In no
event, however, shall such period exceed one hundred eighty (180) days and the
Market Stand-Off shall in all events terminate two (2) years after the effective
date of the Company's initial public offering.
(b) Owner shall be subject to the Market Stand-Off, provided and
------------
only if the officers and directors of the Company are also subject to similar
-------
restrictions.
(c) Any new, substituted or additional securities which are by
reason of any Recapitalization or Reorganization distributed with respect to the
Purchased Shares shall be immediately subject to the Market Stand-Off, to the
same extent the Purchased Shares are at such time covered by such provisions.
(d) In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may
impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Purchased Shares until the
end of the applicable stand-off period.
-3-
D. REPURCHASE RIGHT
----------------
1. Grant. The Company is hereby granted the right (the "Repurchase
-----
Right"), exercisable at any time during the ninety (90)-day period following the
date Optionee ceases for any reason to remain in Service, to repurchase at the
Exercise Price all or any portion of the Purchased Shares in which Optionee is
not, at the time of his or her cessation of Service, vested in accordance with
the Vesting Schedule (such shares to be hereinafter referred to as the "Unvested
Shares").
2. Exercise of the Repurchase Right. The Repurchase Right shall be
--------------------------------
exercisable by written notice delivered to each Owner of the Unvested Shares
prior to the expiration of the ninety (90)-day exercise period. The notice shall
indicate the number of Unvested Shares to be repurchased and the date on which
the repurchase is to be effected, such date to be not more than thirty (30) days
after the date of such notice. The certificates representing the Unvested Shares
to be repurchased shall be delivered to the Company prior to the close of
business on the date specified for the repurchase. Concurrently with the receipt
of such stock certificates, the Company shall pay to Owner, in cash or cash
equivalents (including the cancellation of an purchase-money indebtedness), an
amount equal to the Exercise Price previously paid for the Unvested Shares which
are to be repurchased from Owner.
3. Termination of the Repurchase Right. The Repurchase Right shall
-----------------------------------
terminate with respect to any Unvested Shares for which it is not timely
exercised under Paragraph D.2. In addition, the Repurchase Right shall terminate
and cease to be exercisable with respect to any and all Purchased Shares in
which Optionee vests in accordance with the following Vesting Schedule:
(i) Upon Optionee's completion of one (1) year of Service measured
from _____________, 199__ (the "Vesting Commencement Date"), Optionee shall
acquire a vested interest in, and the Repurchase Right shall lapse with
respect to, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Purchased Shares.
(ii) Optionee shall acquire a vested interest in, and the Repurchase
Right shall lapse with respect to, the balance of the Purchased Shares
commencing with the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date in a
series of successive equal monthly installments upon Optionee's completion
of each additional month of Service over the thirty-six (36) month period
measured from the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date under
subparagraph (i) above.
All Purchased Shares as to which the Repurchase Right lapses shall,
however, remain subject to (i) the First Refusal Right and (ii) the Market
Stand-Off.
4. Aggregate Vesting Limitation. If the Option is exercised in more
----------------------------
than one increment so that Optionee is a party to one or more other Stock
Purchase Agreements (the "Prior Purchase Agreements") which are executed prior
to the date of this Agreement, then the total number of Purchased Shares as to
which Optionee shall be deemed to have a fully-vested interest under this
Agreement and all Prior Purchase Agreements shall not exceed in the aggregate
the number of
-4-
Purchased Shares in which Optionee would otherwise at the time be vested, in
accordance with the Vesting Schedule, had all the Purchased Shares (including
those acquired under the Prior Purchase Agreements) have been acquired
exclusively under this Agreement.
5. Recapitalization. Any new, substituted or additional securities
----------------
or other property (including cash paid other than as a regular cash dividend)
which is by reason of any Recapitalization distributed with respect to the
Purchased Shares shall be immediately subject to the Repurchase Right, but only
to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time covered by such right.
Appropriate adjustments to reflect such distribution shall be made to the number
and/or class of Purchased Shares subject to this Agreement and to the price per
share to be paid upon the exercise of the Repurchase Right in order to reflect
the effect of any such Recapitalization upon the Company's capital structure;
provided, however, that the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.
-------- -------
6. Corporate Transaction.
---------------------
(a) Immediately prior to the consummation of any Corporate
Transaction, the Repurchase Right shall automatically lapse in its entirety,
except to the extent the Repurchase Right is assigned to the successor Company
(or parent thereof) in connection with the Corporate Transaction.
(b) To the extent the Repurchase Right remains in effect
following a Corporate Transaction, such right shall apply to the new capital
stock or other property (including any cash payments) received in exchange for
the Purchased Shares in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, but only to
the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time covered by such right.
Appropriate adjustments shall be made to the price per share payable upon
exercise of the Repurchase Right to reflect the effect of the Corporate
Transaction upon the Company's capital structure; provided, however, that the
--------
aggregate purchase price shall remain the same. The new securities or other
property (including cash payments) issued or distributed with respect to the
Purchased Shares in consummation of the Corporate Transaction shall immediately
be deposited in escrow with the Company (or the successor entity) and shall not
be released from escrow until Optionee vests in such securities or other
property in accordance with the same Vesting Schedule in effect for the
Purchased Shares.
(c) The Repurchase Right shall automatically lapse in its
entirety, and all the Purchased Shares shall immediately vest in full, upon an
Involuntary Termination of Optionee's Service within eighteen (18) months
following the effective date of a Corporate Transaction in which the Repurchase
Right has been assigned.
E. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
----------------------
1. Grant. The Company is hereby granted the right of first refusal
-----
(the "First Refusal Right"), exercisable in connection with any proposed
transfer of the Purchased Shares in which Optionee has vested in accordance with
the Vesting Schedule. For purposes of this Article E.
-5-
the term "transfer" shall include any sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or
other disposition of the Purchased Shares intended to be made by Owner, but
shall not include any Permitted Transfer.
2. Notice of Intended Disposition. In the event any Owner of
------------------------------
Purchased Shares in which Optionee has vested desires to accept a bona fide
third-party offer for the transfer of any or all of such shares (the Purchased
Shares subject to such offer to be hereinafter referred to as the "Target
Shares"), Owner shall promptly (i) deliver to the Company written notice (the
"Disposition Notice") of the terms of the offer, including the purchase price
and the identity of the third-party offeror, and (ii) provide satisfactory proof
that the disposition of the Target Shares to such third-party offeror would not
be in contravention of the provisions set forth in Articles B and C.
3. Exercise of the First Refusal Right. The Company shall, for a
-----------------------------------
period of forty five (45) days following receipt of the Disposition Notice, have
the right to repurchase any or all of the Target Shares subject to the
Disposition Notice upon the same terms as those specified therein or upon such
other terms (not materially different from those specified in the Disposition
Notice) to which Owner consents. Such right shall be exercisable by delivery of
written notice (the "Exercise Notice") to Owner prior to the expiration of the
forty-five (45)-day exercise period. If such right is exercised with respect to
all the Target Shares, then the Company shall effect the repurchase of such
shares, including payment of the purchase price, not more than fifteen (15)
business days after delivery of the Exercise Notice; and at such time the
certificates representing the Target Shares shall be delivered to the Company.
Should the purchase price specified in the Disposition Notice be
payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Company
shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in
amount to the value of such property. If Owner and the Company cannot agree on
such cash value within thirty (30) days after the Company's receipt of the
Disposition Notice, the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of recognized
standing selected by Owner and the Company or, if they cannot agree on an
appraiser within forty-five (45) days after the Company's receipt of the
Disposition Notice, each shall select an appraiser of recognized standing and
the two (2) appraisers shall designate a third appraiser of recognized standing,
whose appraisal shall be determinative of such value. The cost of such appraisal
shall be shared equally by Owner and the Company. The closing shall then be held
on the later of (i) the fifteenth business day following delivery of the
-----
Exercise Notice or (ii) the fifteenth business day after such valuation shall
have been made.
4. Non-Exercise of the First Refusal Right. In the event the
---------------------------------------
Exercise Notice is not given to Owner prior to the expiration of the forty-five
(45)-day exercise period, Owner shall have a period of thirty (30) days
thereafter in which to sell or otherwise dispose of the Target Shares to the
third-party offeror identified in the Disposition Notice upon terms (including
the purchase price) no more favorable to such third-party offeror than those
specified in the Disposition Notice; provided, however, that any such sale or
-------- -------
disposition must not be effected in contravention of the provisions of Articles
B and C. The third-party offeror shall acquire the Target Shares free and clear
of the Repurchase Right and the First Refusal Right, but the acquired shares
shall remain subject to the provisions of Article B and Paragraph C.3. In the
event Owner does not effect such sale or
-6-
disposition of the Target Shares within the specified thirty (30)-day period,
the First Refusal Right shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent
disposition of the Target Shares by Owner until such right lapses.
5. Partial Exercise of the First Refusal Right. In the event the
-------------------------------------------
Company makes a timely exercise of the First Refusal Right with respect to a
portion, but not all, of the Target Shares specified in the Disposition Notice,
Owner shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to the Company
delivered within fifteen (15) business days after Owner's receipt of the
Exercise Notice, to effect the sale of the Target Shares pursuant to either of
the following alternatives:
(i) sale or other disposition of all the Target Shares to the third-
party offeror identified in the Disposition Notice, but in full compliance
with the requirements of Paragraph E.4, as if the Company did not exercise
the First Refusal Right; or
(ii) sale to the Company of the portion of the Target Shares which
the Company has elected to purchase, such sale to be effected in
substantial conformity with the provisions of Paragraph E.3. The First
Refusal Right shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition
of the remaining Target Shares until such right lapses.
Failure of Owner to deliver timely notification to the Company shall
be deemed to be an election by Owner to sell the Target Shares pursuant to
alternative (i) above.
6. Recapitalization/Reorganization.
-------------------------------
(a) Any new, substituted or additional securities or other
property which is by reason of any Recapitalization distributed with respect to
the Purchased Shares shall be immediately subject to the First Refusal Right,
but only to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time covered by such
right.
(b) In the event of a Reorganization, the First Refusal Right
shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to the new capital stock
or other property received in exchange for the Purchased Shares in consummation
of the Reorganization, but only to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the
time covered by such right.
7. Lapse. The First Refusal Right shall lapse upon the earliest to
-----
occur of (i) the first date on which shares of the Common Stock are held of
record by more than five hundred (500) persons, (ii) a determination is made by
the Board that a public market exists for the outstanding shares of Common Stock
or (iii) a firm commitment underwritten public offering, pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, covering the offer and sale
of the Common Stock in the aggregate amount of at least ten million dollars
($10,000,000). However, the Market Stand-Off shall continue to remain in full
force and effect following the lapse of the First Refusal Right.
-7-
F. SPECIAL TAX ELECTION
--------------------
1. Section 83 (b) Election. Under Code Section 83, the excess of
----------------------
the fair market value of the Purchased Shares on the date any forfeiture
restrictions applicable to such shares lapse over the Exercise Price paid for
such shares will be reportable as ordinary income on the lapse date. For this
purpose, the term "forfeiture restrictions" includes the right of the Company to
repurchase the Purchased Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Right. Optionee may
elect under Code Section 83(b) to be taxed at the time the Purchased Shares are
acquired, rather than when and as such Purchased Shares cease to be subject to
such forfeiture restrictions. Such election must be filed with the Internal
Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement. Even
if the fair market value of the Purchased Shares on the date of this Agreement
equals the Exercise Price paid (and thus no tax is payable), the election must
be made to avoid adverse tax consequences in the future. THE FORM FOR MAKING
THIS ELECTION IS ATTACHED AS SCHEDULE 2 HERETO. OPTIONEE UNDERSTANDS THAT
----------
FAILURE TO MAKE THIS FILING WITHIN THE APPLICABLE THIRTY (30)-DAY PERIOD WILL
RESULT IN THE RECOGNITION OF ORDINARY INCOME AS THE FORFEITURE RESTRICTIONS
LAPSE.
2. FILING RESPONSIBILITY. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS
---------------------
OPTIONEE'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY'S, TO FILE A TT1MELY
ELECTION UNDER CODE SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF OPTIONEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS
REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON HIS OR HER BEHALF.
G. GENERAL PROVISIONS
------------------
1. Assignment. The Company may assign the Repurchase Right and/or
----------
the First Refusal Right to any person or entity selected by the Board, including
(without limitation) one or more stockholders of the Company.
2. No Employment or Service Contract. Nothing in this Agreement or
---------------------------------
in the Plan shall confer upon 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
Optionee) or of Optionee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to
terminate Optionee's Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause.
3. Notices. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement
-------
shall be in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon
deposit in the U.S. mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid and properly
addressed to the party entitled to such notice at the address indicated below
such party's signature line on this Agreement or at such other address as such
party may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice under this paragraph
to all other parties to this Agreement.
-8-
4. No Waiver. The failure of the Company in any instance to
---------
exercise the Repurchase Right or the First Refusal Right shall not constitute a
waiver of any other repurchase rights and/or rights of first refusal that may
subsequently arise under the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement
between the Company and Optionee. No waiver of any breach or condition of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or
condition, whether of like or different nature.
5. Cancellation of Shares. If the Company shall make available, at
----------------------
the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the
consideration for the Purchased Shares to be repurchased in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, then from and after such time, the person from
whom such shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a
holder of such shares (other than the right to receive payment of such
consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such shares shall be deemed
purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, and the Company
shall be deemed the owner and holder of such shares, whether or not the
certificates therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement.
6. Optionee Undertaking. Optionee hereby agrees to take whatever
--------------------
additional action and execute whatever additional documents the Company may deem
necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect one or more of the
obligations or restrictions imposed on either Optionee or the Purchased Shares
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
-------------
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without resort
to that State's conflict-of-laws rules.
8. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall
----------------------
inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and
assigns and upon Optionee, Optionee's assigns and the legal representatives,
heirs and legatees of Optionee's estate, whether or not any such person shall
have become a party to this Agreement and have agreed in writing to join herein
and be bound by the terms hereof.
