EXHIBIT 10.19
PILOT NETWORK SERVICES, INC.
RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of March
14, 1995, by and between Pilot Network Services, Inc., a California corporation
(the "Company"), and M. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx ("Purchaser") pursuant to the Company's
1994 Restricted Stock Purchase Plan.
1. Sale of Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
-------------
Agreement, on the Closing Date the Company will issue and sell to Purchaser, and
Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, 75,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock (the "Shares") at a purchase price of $0.18 per Share for a total
purchase price of $13,500. The term "Shares" refers to the purchased Shares and
all securities received in replacement of Shares or as stock dividends or
splits, all securities received in replacement of the Shares in a
recapitalization, merger, reorganization, exchange or the like, and all new,
substituted or additional securities or other properties to which Purchaser is
entitled by reason of Purchaser's ownership of the Shares.
2. Closing; Security Interest.
--------------------------
(a) The closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares under this
Agreement (the "Closing") shall be held at the principal office of the Company
simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement by the parties or on such
other date as they agree (the "Closing Date").
(b) At the Closing, the Company will deliver to Purchaser a
certificate representing the Shares to be purchased by him or her (which shall
be issued in Purchaser's name) against payment of the purchase price therefor.
The purchase price for the Shares shall be paid to the Company by a check
rendered to the Company in the amount of $13,500.
3. Limitations on Transfer.
-----------------------
In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable
securities laws, Purchaser shall not assign, encumber or dispose of any interest
in the Shares while the Shares are subject to the Company's repurchase option,
except as provided in Section 3(h) below. After any Shares have been released
from such repurchase option, Purchaser shall not assign, encumber or dispose of
any interest in such Shares except in compliance with Sections 3(b) and 3(c)
below and applicable securities laws:
(a) Repurchase Option. In the event Purchaser ceases to be
-----------------
"employed by the Company" (as defined herein) for any reason, with or without
cause (including death, disability or voluntary resignation), the Company shall,
upon the date of such termination, have an irrevocable, exclusive option for a
period of 90 days from such termination date to repurchase all or any portion of
the Shares held by Purchaser as of such date which have not yet been released
from the Company's repurchase option at the original purchase price per Share
specified in Section 1. For
purposes of this Agreement, Purchaser will be considered to be "employed by the
Company" if the Board of Directors of the Company determines that Purchaser is
rendering substantial services as an officer, employee, consultant or
independent contractor to the Company. In case of any dispute as to whether
Purchaser is employed by the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company will
have discretion to determine whether Purchaser has ceased to be employed by the
Company and the effective date on which Purchaser's employment terminated. The
option shall be exercised by the Company by written notice to Purchaser or his
executor and, at the Company's option, (i) by delivery to the Purchaser or his
executor with such notice of a check in the amount of the purchase price for the
Shares being purchased, or (ii) in the event the Purchaser is indebted to the
Company, by cancellation by the Company of an amount of such indebtedness equal
to the purchase price for the Shares being repurchased, or (iii) by a
combination of (i) and (ii) so that the combined payment and cancellation of
indebtedness equals such purchase price. Upon delivery of such notice and
payment of the purchase price in any of the ways described above, the Company
shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Shares being repurchased and
all rights and interest therein or related thereto, and the Company shall have
the right to transfer to its own name the number of Shares being repurchased by
the Company, without further action by Purchaser.
One hundred percent (100%) of the Shares purchased by Purchaser shall
initially be subject to the Company's repurchase option as set forth above.
Thereafter, the Shares held by Purchaser shall be released from the Company's
repurchase option under this Section 3(a) as follows (provided in each case that
Purchaser's employment has not been terminated prior to the date of any such
release): 1/4th of the total number of Shares shall be released from the
repurchase option on the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date (as
set forth on the signature page of this Agreement), and 1/48th of the Shares
originally purchased shall be released from the repurchase option each month
thereafter on the Monthly Vesting Date (as set forth on the signature page of
this Agreement), until all Shares are released from the repurchase option.
Fractional shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.
(b) Right of First Refusal. In the event, at any time after the
----------------------
date of this Agreement, the Purchaser or his transferee desires to sell or
transfer in any manner the Shares as to which the option provided in Section
3(a) above is not applicable or has not been exercised, he shall first offer
such Shares for sale to the Company at the same price, and upon the same terms
(or terms as similar as reasonably possible) upon which he is proposing or is to
dispose of said Shares. Said right of first refusal shall be provided to the
Company for a period of thirty (30) days following receipt by the Company of
written notice by the Purchaser of the terms and conditions of said proposed
sale or transfer and the name, address and phone number of each proposed buyer
or transferee. If the Company desires to exercise such right of first refusal as
to all but not less than all of the Shares proposed to be transferred, it shall
notify Purchaser in writing within such thirty day period. In the event the
Shares are not disposed of on such terms within thirty (30) days following lapse
of the period of the right of first refusal provided to the Company, or if the
Purchaser proposes to change the price or other terms to make them more
favorable to the buyer, they shall once again be subject to the right of first
refusal herein provided.
(c) Involuntary Transfer. In the event, at any time after the date
--------------------
of this Agreement, of any transfer by operation of law or other involuntary
transfer (including death or
-2-
divorce) of all or a portion of the Shares by the record holder thereof, the
Company shall have an option to purchase all of the Shares transferred at the
greater of the purchase price paid by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or
the fair market value of the Shares on the date of transfer. Upon such a
transfer, the person acquiring the Shares shall promptly notify the Secretary of
the Company of such transfer. The right to purchase such Shares shall be
provided to the Company for a period of thirty (30) days following receipt by
the Company of written notice by the person acquiring the Shares.
(d) Price for Involuntary Transfer. With respect to any stock to be
------------------------------
transferred pursuant to Section 3(c), the price per Share shall be a price set
by the Board of Directors of the Company that will reflect the current value of
the stock in terms of present earnings and future prospects of the Company. The
Company shall notify Purchaser or his or her executor of the price so determined
within thirty (30) days after receipt by it of written notice of the transfer or
proposed transfer of Shares. The decision of the Board of Directors as to the
purchase price shall be final.
(e) Assignment. The right of the Company to purchase any part of
----------
the Shares may be assigned in whole or in part to any shareholder or
shareholders of the Company or other persons or organizations.
(f) Restrictions Binding on Transferees. All transferees of Shares
-----------------------------------
or any interest therein will receive and hold such Shares or interest subject to
the provisions of this Agreement, including, insofar as applicable, the
Company's option to repurchase or other rights under Section 3. Any sale or
transfer of the Company's Shares shall be void unless the provisions of this
Agreement are met.
(g) Termination of Rights. The right of first refusal granted the
---------------------
Company by Section 3(b) above and the option to repurchase the Shares in the
event of an involuntary transfer granted the Company by Section 3(c) above shall
terminate at such time as a public market exists for the Company's capital stock
(or any other stock issued to purchasers in exchange for the Shares purchased
under this Agreement). For the purpose of this Agreement, a "Public Market"
shall be deemed to exist if (i) such stock is listed on a national securities
exchange (as that term is used in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or (ii)
such stock is traded on the over-the-counter market and prices are published
daily on business days in a recognized financial journal.
Upon termination of the right of first refusal imposed by this
Agreement and the expiration or exercise of the Company's repurchase option
described in Section 3(a) above, a new certificate or certificates representing
the Shares not repurchased shall be issued, on request, without the legend
referred to in Section 6(b) herein and delivered to Purchaser.
(h) Exempt Transfers. The restrictions on transfer of this Section
----------------
3 shall not apply to a transfer to Purchaser's ancestors or descendants or
spouse or to a trustee for their benefit, provided that such transferee shall
agree in writing to take such Shares subject to all the terms of this Agreement,
including restrictions on further transfer.
-3-
4. Escrow. For purposes of facilitating the enforcement of the provisions
------
of Section 3 above, Purchaser agrees, immediately upon receipt of the
certificate(s) for his Shares, to deliver such certificate(s), together with an
Assignment Separate from Certificate in the form attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit A executed by Purchaser and by Purchaser's spouse (if required for
---------
transfer), in blank, to the Secretary of the Company, or his designee, to hold
such certificate(s) and Assignment Separate from Certificate in escrow and to
take all such actions and to effectuate all such transfers and/or releases as
are in accordance with the terms hereof. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the
Secretary of the Company, or his or her designee, is so appointed as the escrow
holder with the foregoing authorities as a material inducement to make this
Agreement and that said appointment is coupled with an interest and is
accordingly irrevocable. Purchaser agrees that said escrow holder shall not be
liable to any party hereof (or to any other party) for any actions or omissions
unless such escrow holder is grossly negligent relative thereto. The escrow
holder may rely upon any letter, notice or other document executed by any
signature purported to be genuine and may resign at any time. Purchaser agrees
that if the Secretary of the Company, or his or her designee, resigns as escrow
holder for any or no reason, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have
the power to appoint a successor to serve as escrow holder pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement.
5. Investment Representations.
--------------------------
In connection with the purchase of the Shares, Purchaser represents to
the Company the following:
(a) Purchaser is aware of the Company's business affairs and
financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to
reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the securities.
Purchaser is purchasing these securities for investment for his or her own
account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any
"distribution" thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.
(b) Purchaser understands that the securities have not been
registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom,
which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of
Purchaser's investment intent as expressed herein.
(c) Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the
securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered
under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no
obligation to register the securities. Purchaser understands that the
certificate evidencing the securities will be imprinted with a legend which
prohibits the transfer of the securities unless they are registered or such
registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the Company.
(d) Purchaser is familiar with the provisions of Rules 144 and 701,
each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited
public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly, from
the issuer thereof (or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public
offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. In the event the
Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of
the
-4-
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the securities exempt under Rule 701 may be
resold by the Purchaser ninety (90) days thereafter, subject to the satisfaction
of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including, among other
things: (1) the sale being made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's
transaction" or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is
defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and (2) in the case of an
affiliate, the availability of certain public information about the Company, and
the amount of securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding
the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), if applicable.
If the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of
purchase, then the securities may be resold by the Purchaser in certain limited
circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires, among other
things: (1) the availability of certain public information about the Company;
(2) the resale occurring not less than two years after the party has purchased,
and made full payment of (within the meaning of Rule 144), the securities to be
sold; and (3) in the case of an affiliate, or of a non-affiliate who has held
the securities less than three years, the sale being made through a broker in an
unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market
maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and
the amount of securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding
the specified limitations stated therein, if applicable. PURCHASER UNDERSTANDS
THAT PAYMENT BY NOTE IS NOT DEEMED TO BE FULL PAYMENT UNDER RULE 144 UNLESS IT
IS SECURED BY ASSETS OTHER THAN THE SHARES.
(e) Purchaser further understands that at the time he or she wishes
to sell the securities there may be no public market upon which to make such a
sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists, the Company may not be
satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144 or 701, and
that, in such event, Purchaser would be precluded from selling the securities
under Rule 144 or 701 even if the two-year minimum holding period had been
satisfied.
(f) Purchaser further understands that in the event all of the
applicable requirements of Rule 144 or 701 are not satisfied, registration under
the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration
exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144
and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that
persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a
registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 or 701 will have a
substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration
is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their
respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.
6. Legends.
-------
The certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall bear the
following legends (as well as any legends required by applicable state and
federal corporate and securities laws):
-5-
(a) "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED
FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR
DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT
AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933."
(b) "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED
ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND
THE SHAREHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE
COMPANY."
Purchaser understands that transfer of the Shares may be restricted by
the blue sky laws of the State of California.
7. No Employment Rights.
--------------------
Nothing in this Agreement shall affect in any manner whatsoever the
right or power of the Company, or a parent or subsidiary of the Company, to
terminate Purchaser's employment, for any reason, with or without cause.
8. Section 83(b) Election.
----------------------
Purchaser understands that Section 83(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), taxes as ordinary income the difference
between the amount paid for the Shares and the fair market value of the Shares
as of the date any restrictions on the Shares lapse. In this context,
"restriction" means the right of the Company to buy back the Shares pursuant to
the repurchase option set forth in Section 3(a) of this Agreement. Purchaser
understands that Purchaser may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are
purchased, rather than when and as the repurchase option expires, by filing an
election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service
within 30 days from the date of purchase. Even if the fair market value of the
Shares at the time of the execution of this Agreement equals the amount paid for
the Shares, the election must be made to avoid tax treatment under Section 83(a)
in the future. The form for making Purchaser's election is attached to this
Agreement. Purchaser understands that his or her failure to file such an
election in a timely manner may result in adverse tax consequences for
Purchaser. Purchaser further understands that an additional copy of such
election form should be filed with his or her federal income tax return for the
calendar year in which the date of this Agreement falls.
9. Stand-off Agreement. In connection with the initial public offering
-------------------
of the Company's securities and upon request of the Company or the underwriters
managing any underwritten offering of the Company's securities, Purchaser agrees
not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of,
or otherwise dispose of any Shares (other than those included in the
registration) without the prior written consent of the Company or such
underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed one
hundred eighty (180)
-6-
days) from the effective date of such registration as may be requested by the
Company or such managing underwriters; provided, however, that Purchaser need
not so agree unless a majority of the Company's officers and directors and a
majority of the holders of at least 5% of the Company's outstanding securities
also agree to be similarly bound.
10. Miscellaneous.
-------------
(a) This Agreement may be amended by written agreement between the
Company and Purchaser.
(b) Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given
under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient when
delivered personally or sent by telecopy or forty-eight (48) hours after being
deposited in the U.S. mail, as certified or registered mail, with postage
prepaid, and addressed, if to the Company, at its principal place of business,
attention the President, and if to Purchaser, at Purchaser's address as shown on
the stock records of the Company.
(c) The rights and benefits of this Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of, and be enforceable by the Company's successors and assigns. The
rights and obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement may only be assigned
with the prior written consent of the Company.
(d) Both parties agree to execute any additional documents
necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.
