EXHIBIT 10.7A
GLOBAL IMAGING SYSTEMS, INC.
1998 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN
INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
This Stock Option Agreement is made as of _______________, 1998, by and
between Global Imaging Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
and ________________________, an individual who is employed by, or providing
services to, the Company or one of its affiliates (the "Optionee").
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company have duly
adopted and approved the Global Imaging Systems, Inc. 1998 Stock Option and
Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which Plan authorizes the Company to grant to
eligible individuals options for the purchase of shares of the Company's common
stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Stock"); and
WHEREAS, the Company has determined that it is desirable and in its best
interests to grant to the Optionee, pursuant to the Plan, an option to purchase
a certain number of shares of Stock, in order to provide the Optionee with an
incentive to advance the interests of the Company and any affiliate thereof;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
1. GRANT OF OPTION
Subject to the terms of the Plan (attached hereto as Exhibit A), the
---------
Company hereby grants to the Optionee the right and option (the "Option") to
purchase from the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in the Plan and in this Option Agreement, _________ shares of Stock. This
Option shall constitute an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The date of
grant of this Option is ______________, 1998 (the "Grant Date").
2. PARACHUTE LIMITATIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Stock Option Agreement or
of any other agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or hereafter
entered into by the Optionee and the Company or any Subsidiary, except an
agreement, contract, or understanding hereafter entered into that expressly
modifies or excludes application of this Section (the "Other Agreements"), and
notwithstanding any formal or informal plan or other arrangement heretofore or
hereafter adopted by the Company (or any Subsidiary) for the direct or indirect
compensation of the Optionee (including groups or classes of participants or
beneficiaries of which the Optionee is a member), whether or not such
compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for
the Optionee (a "Benefit Arrangement"), if the Optionee is a "disqualified
individual," as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code, the Option and any right
to receive any payment or other benefit under this Stock Option Agreement shall
not become exercisable or vested (i) to the extent that such right to exercise,
vesting, payment, or benefit, taking into account all other rights, payments, or
benefits to or for Optionee under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all
Benefit Arrangements, would cause any payment or benefit to the Optionee under
this Stock Option Agreement to be considered a "parachute payment" within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code as then in effect (a "Parachute
Payment") and (ii) if, as a result of receiving a Parachute Payment, the
---
aggregate after-tax amounts received by the Optionee from the Company under this
Stock Option Agreement, the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit
Arrangements would be less than the maximum after-tax amount that could be
received by Optionee without causing any such payment or benefit to be
considered a Parachute Payment. In the event that the receipt of any such right
to exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit under this Stock Option Agreement, in
conjunction with all other rights, payments, or benefits to or for the Optionee
under the Plan, any Other Agreement or any Benefit Arrangement would cause the
Optionee to be considered to have received a Parachute Payment under this Stock
Option Agreement that would have the effect of decreasing the after-tax amount
received by the Optionee as described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence,
then the Optionee shall have the right, in the Optionee's sole discretion, to
designate those rights, payments, or benefits under this Stock Option Agreement,
the Plan, any Other Agreements, and any Benefit Arrangements that should be
reduced or eliminated so as to avoid having the payment or benefit to the
Optionee under this Stock Option Agreement be deemed to be a Parachute Payment.
3. TERMS OF PLAN
The Option granted pursuant to this Stock Option Agreement is granted
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan. All terms and
conditions of the Plan are hereby incorporated into this Stock Option Agreement
by reference and shall be deemed to be part of this Stock Option Agreement,
without regard to whether such terms and conditions are not otherwise set forth
in this Stock Option Agreement. To the extent any capitalized words used in
this Stock Option Agreement are not defined, they shall have the definitions
stated for them in the Plan. In the event that there is any inconsistency
between the provisions of this Stock Option Agreement and of the Plan, the
provisions of the Plan shall govern.
4. OPTION PRICE
The purchase price (the "Option Price") for each share subject to the
Option granted by this Stock Option Agreement is $_____.
5. VESTING IN OPTION
The Option becomes vested as to _____ percent of the shares
purchasable pursuant to the Option on _____________ (the first "Anniversary
Date"), if the Optionee has been providing services to the Company or any of its
affiliates continuously from the date of grant to the Anniversary Date.
Thereafter, so long as the Optionee's service has not been interrupted, the
Option becomes vested as to an additional _________ percent of the shares
subject to the Option after each of the next ______ Anniversary Dates. Service
for this purpose includes service as an employee, director, advisor or
consultant providing bona fide services to the Company or any of its affiliates.
For purposes of this Stock Option Agreement, termination of service would not be
deemed to occur if the Optionee, after terminating service in one capacity,
continues to provide service to the Company or any of its affiliates in another
capacity. Termination of service is sometimes also referred to herein as
termination of employment or other relationship with the Company or any of its
affiliates.
6. TERM AND EXERCISE OF OPTION
6.1. TERM
The Option shall terminate and all rights to purchase the shares
thereunder shall cease upon the expiration of ten years after the Grant Date,
unless terminated earlier pursuant to another provision of this Stock Option
Agreement.
6.2. OPTION PERIOD AND LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE
The Optionee may exercise the Option (subject to the limitations on
exercise set forth in this Stock Option Agreement and in the Plan), to the
extent the Option is vested and has not terminated. Any limitation on the
exercise of an Option may be rescinded, modified or waived by the Committee, in
its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time after the Grant Date of
the Option, so as to accelerate the time at which the Option may be exercised.
If the Optionee terminates employment or other relationship with the Company by
reason of "permanent and total disability" (within the meaning of Section
22(e)(3) of the Code), the Option shall continue to vest, and shall be
exercisable to the extent that it is vested, for a period of one year after such
termination of employment or service, subject to earlier termination of the
Option as provided in SECTION 6.1 above.
6.3. LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE OF OPTION
Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections, in no event may the Option be
exercised: (i) in whole or in part, after ten years following the Grant Date,
as set forth in SECTION 1 above, (ii) following termination of employment or
other relationship for Cause (as defined below) or (iii) following termination
of employment or other relationship except as provided in SECTIONS 7.1, 7.2, and
7.3 below. For purposes of this Stock Option Agreement, "Cause" means (i) gross
negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the performance of duties;
(ii) conviction of a criminal offense (other than minor traffic offenses); or
(iii) material breach of any term of any employment, consulting or other
services, confidentiality, intellectual property or non-competition agreements,
if any, between Optionee and the Company or any of its affiliates.
6.4. METHOD OF EXERCISE
The Option may be exercised, to the extent it is exercisable, by the
Optionee's delivery to the Company of written notice of exercise on any business
day, at the Company's principal office, addressed to the attention of the
Committee. Such notice shall specify the number of shares of Stock with respect
to which the Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in
full of the Option Price of the shares for which the Option is being exercised.
The minimum number of shares of Stock with respect to which an Option may be
exercised, in whole or in part, at any time shall be the lesser of (i) 100
shares and (ii) the maximum number of shares available for purchase under the
Option at the time of exercise. Payment of the Option Price for the shares
purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option shall be made (i) in cash or in
cash equivalents; (ii) through the tender to the Company of shares of Stock,
which shares, if acquired from the Company, shall have been held by the Optionee
for at least six months and which shall be valued, for purposes of determining
the extent to which the Option Price has been paid thereby, at their Fair Market
Value on the date of exercise; or (iii) by a combination of the methods
described in (i) and (ii). If the Stock is publicly traded, payment in full of
the Option Price need not accompany the written notice of exercise provided that
the notice of exercise directs that the certificate or certificates for the
shares of Stock for which the Option is exercised be delivered to a licensed
broker acceptable to the Company as the agent for the individual exercising the
Option and, at the time such certificate or certificates are delivered, the
broker tenders to the Company cash (or cash equivalents acceptable to the
Company) equal to the Option Price for the shares of Stock purchased pursuant to
the exercise of the Option plus the amount (if any) of federal and/or other
taxes which the Company may in its judgment, be required to withhold with
respect to the exercise of the Option. An attempt to exercise the Option other
than as set forth above shall be invalid and of no force and effect. An
individual holding or exercising an Option shall have none of the rights of a
stockholder (for example, the right to receive cash or dividend payments or
distributions attributable to the subject shares of Stock or to direct the
voting of the subject shares of Stock ) until the shares of Stock covered
thereby are fully paid and issued to him. Except as provided in SECTION 10
hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights
for which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance.
7. TERMINATION OF THE SERVICE RELATIONSHIP
7.1. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER RELATIONSHIP
Upon the termination of the Optionee's employment or other
relationship with the Company other than by reason of death or "permanent and
total disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the
Option or portion thereof held by the Optionee that has not vested in accordance
with the provisions of SECTION 5 hereof shall terminate immediately, and,
subject to SECTION 6.3 above, any Option or portion thereof that has vested in
accordance with the provisions of SECTION 5 hereof but has not been exercised
shall terminate at the close of business on the 90th day following the
Optionee's termination of employment or other relationship (or, if such 90th day
is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, at the close of business on the next preceding
day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or holiday), unless the Board of Directors of
the Company (the "Board"), in its discretion, extends the period during which
the Option may be exercised (which period may not be extended beyond the
original term of the Option). Upon termination of the Option or portion
thereof, the Optionee shall have no further right to purchase shares of Stock
pursuant to such Option or portion thereof. Whether a leave of absence or leave
on military or government service shall constitute a termination of employment
or other relationship for purposes of the Optionee shall be determined by the
Board, which determination shall be final and conclusive. For purposes of the
Option, a termination of employment, service or other relationship shall not be
deemed to occur if the Optionee is immediately thereafter employed with the
Company or any other Service Provider, or is engaged as a Service Provider or an
Outside Director of the Company. Whether a termination of a Service Provider's
or an Outside Director's relationship with the Company shall have occurred shall
be determined by the Committee, which determination shall be final and
conclusive.
7.2. RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DEATH
If the Optionee dies while employed by, or in the service of, the
Company or any of its affiliates, the executors or administrators or legatees or
distributees of such Optionee's estate shall have the right at any time within
one year after the date of such Optionee's death, and prior to termination of
the Option pursuant to SECTION 6.1 above, to exercise, in whole or in part, any
Option held by such Optionee at the date of such Optionee's death, whether or
not such Option was exercisable immediately prior to such Optionee's death.
7.3. RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DISABILITY
If the Optionee's employment or other relationship with the Company or
any of its affiliates is terminated by reason of the "permanent and total
disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) of the
Optionee, then such Optionee shall have the right, at any time within one year
after such termination of employment or other relationship and prior to
termination of the Option pursuant to SECTION 6.1 above, to exercise, in whole
or in part, the Option held by such Optionee at the date of such termination of
employment or other relationship, to the extent such Option is then exercisable.
Whether a termination of employment or other relationship is to be considered by
reason of "permanent and total disability" for purposes of this Stock Option
Agreement shall be determined by the Committee, which determination shall be
final and conclusive.
8. TRANSFERABILITY
During the lifetime of the Optionee, only such Optionee (or, in the
event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Optionee's guardian or legal
representative) may exercise the Option, and no Option shall be assignable or
transferable by the Optionee, other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.
9. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW
The Company shall not be required to sell or issue any securities
under the Option if the sale or issuance of such securities would constitute a
violation by the Optionee, the individual exercising the Option, or the Company
of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority,
including without limitation any federal or state securities laws or
regulations. If at any time the Company shall determine, in its discretion,
that the listing, registration or qualification of any securities subject to the
Option upon any securities exchange or under any governmental regulatory body is
necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or
purchase of securities hereunder, the Option may not be exercised in whole or in
part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall
have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the
Company, and any delay caused thereby shall in no way affect the date of
termination of the Option. Specifically in connection with the 1933 Act, upon
the exercise of the Option, unless a registration statement under such act is in
effect with respect to the securities covered by the Option, the Company shall
not be required to sell or issue such securities unless the Committee has
received evidence satisfactory to it that the holder of such Option may acquire
such securities pursuant to an exemption from registration under such act. Any
determination in this connection by the Committee shall be final, binding, and
conclusive. The Company may, but shall in no event be obligated to, register
any securities covered hereby pursuant to the 0000 Xxx. The Company shall not
be
obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of the
Option or the issuance of securities pursuant thereto to comply with any law or
regulation of any governmental authority. As to any jurisdiction that expressly
imposes the requirement that the Option shall not be exercisable until the
securities covered by such Option are registered or are exempt from
registration, the exercise of such Option (under circumstances in which the laws
of such jurisdiction apply) shall be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness
of such registration or the availability of such an exemption.
10. EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION
10.1. CHANGES IN STOCK
If the number of outstanding shares of Stock is increased or
decreased or the shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different
number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company on account of any
recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse split, combination of
shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend or other distribution payable in
capital stock, or other increase or decrease in such shares effected without
receipt of consideration by the Company, occurring after the date of grant of
the Option, the number and kind of shares of Stock for which the Option was
granted shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly so that the
proportionate interest of the Optionee immediately following such event shall,
to the extent practicable, be the same as immediately before such event. Any
such adjustment in the Option shall not change the aggregate Option Price
payable with respect to shares that are subject to the unexercised portion of
the Option but shall include a corresponding proportionate adjustment in the
Option Price per share.
10.2. DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION, SALE OF ASSETS, REORGANIZATION IN WHICH THE
COMPANY IS NOT THE SURVIVING ENTITY, ETC.
Subject to SECTION 10.3 hereof, if the Company shall be the surviving
entity in any reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company with one
or more other entities in which no Change of Control occurs, the Option shall
pertain to and apply to the securities to which the Optionee would have been
entitled immediately following such reorganization, merger, or consolidation,
with a corresponding proportionate adjustment of the Option Price per share so
that the aggregate Option Price thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate
Option Price of the shares remaining subject to the Option immediately prior to
such reorganization, merger, or consolidation. "Change of Control" means (i)
the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or a merger, consolidation, or
reorganization of the Company with one or more other entities in which the
Company is not the surviving entity, (ii) a sale of substantially all of the
assets of the Company to another entity, or (iii) any transaction (including
without limitation
a merger or reorganization in which the Company is the surviving entity) which
results in any person or entity (other than persons who are stockholders or
affiliates of the Company at the time the Plan is approved by the Company's
stockholders) owning 50% or more of the combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company.
10.3. REORGANIZATION, SALE OF ASSETS OR SALE OF STOCK WHICH INVOLVES A
CHANGE OF CONTROL.
Subject to the exceptions set forth in the last sentence of this
SECTION 10.3 (i) upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, fifteen days prior
to the scheduled consummation of a Change of Control, the Option shall become
immediately exercisable to the extent not previously exercisable and shall
remain exercisable for a period of fifteen days. Any exercise of an Option
during such fifteen-day period shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the
event and shall be effective only immediately before the consummation of the
event. Upon consummation of any Change of Control, the Option, to the extent
not exercised, shall terminate. The Board shall send written notice of an event
that will result in such a termination to the Optionee not later than the time
at which the Company gives notice thereof to its stockholders. Neither SECTION
10.2 nor this SECTION 10.3 shall apply to any Change of Control to the extent
that (A) provision is made in writing in connection with such Change of Control
for the assumption of the Option, or the substitution for such Option of new
options covering the stock of a successor entity, or a parent or subsidiary
thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds of shares and
exercise prices, in which event the Option shall continue in the manner and
under the terms so provided or (B) a majority of the full Board determines that
such Change of Control shall not trigger application of the provisions of
SECTION 10.2 or this SECTION 10.3.
10.4. ADJUSTMENTS
Adjustments under this SECTION 10 related to stock or securities of
the Company shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect
shall be final, binding, and conclusive. No fractional shares of Stock or units
of other securities shall be issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and any
fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by
rounding downward to the nearest whole share or unit.
10.5. NO LIMITATIONS ON COMPANY
The grant of the Option shall not affect or limit in any way the
right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications,
reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge,
consolidate, dissolve, or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of
its business or assets.
11. DISCLAIMER OF RIGHTS
No provision in the Plan or in the Stock Option Agreement shall be
construed to confer upon any individual the right to remain in the employ or
service of the Company or any affiliate, or to interfere in any way with any
contractual or other right or authority of the Company or Service Provider
either to increase or decrease the compensation or other payments to any
individual at any time, or to terminate any employment or other relationship
between any individual and the Company. In addition, notwithstanding anything
contained in the Plan to the contrary, the Option shall not be affected by any
change of duties or position of the Optionee, so long as the Optionee continues
to be a director, officer, consultant or employee of the Company. The
obligation of the Company to pay any benefits pursuant to this Stock Option
Agreement shall be interpreted as a contractual obligation to pay only those
amounts described herein, in the manner and under the conditions prescribed
herein. The Plan and the Stock Option Agreement shall in no way be interpreted
to require the Company to transfer any amounts to a third party trustee or
otherwise hold any amounts in trust or escrow for payment to any participant or
beneficiary under the terms of the Plan. The Optionee shall not have any of the
rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Stock subject to an Option
except to the extent the certificates for such shares of Stock shall have been
issued upon the exercise of the Option.
12. FORFEITURE OF RIGHTS
The Company at any time shall have the right to cause a forfeiture of
the rights of the Optionee on account of the Optionee taking actions in
competition with the Company. Unless otherwise specified in an employment or
other agreement between the Company and the Optionee, the Optionee takes actions
in competition with the Company if he or she directly or indirectly owns any
interest in, operates, joins, controls or participates as a partner, director,
principal, officer, or agent of, enters into the employment of, acts as a
consultant to, or performs any services for, any entity which has material
operations which compete with any business in which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is engaged during the Optionee's employment or other relationship
with the Company or any of its affiliates or at the time of the Optionee's
termination of employment or other relationship.
13. CAPTIONS
The use of captions in this Stock Option Agreement is for the
convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision
of such Stock Option Agreement.
14. WITHHOLDING OF TAXES
The Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have the right
to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Optionee any Federal,
state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the
issuance of any shares of Stock upon the exercise of the Option. At the time of
such exercise, the Optionee shall pay to the Company or the Subsidiary, as the
case may be, any amount that the Company or the Subsidiary may reasonably
determine to be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation. Subject to
the prior approval of the Company or the Subsidiary, which may be withheld by
the Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, in its sole discretion, the
Optionee may elect to satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part, (i) by
causing the Company or the Subsidiary to withhold shares of Stock otherwise
issuable to the Optionee or (ii) by delivering to the Company or the Subsidiary
shares of Stock already owned by the Optionee. The shares of Stock so delivered
or withheld shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such withholding
obligations. The Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock used to satisfy such
withholding obligation shall be determined by the Company or the Subsidiary as
of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. The
Optionee who has made an election pursuant to this SECTION 14 may satisfy his or
her withholding obligation only with shares of Stock that are not subject to any
repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or other similar requirements.
15. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of the Plan or this Stock Option Agreement shall be
determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any
jurisdiction, the remaining provisions thereof and hereof shall be severable and
enforceable in accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall remain
enforceable in any other jurisdiction.
16. INTERPRETATION OF THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
All decisions and interpretations made by the Company or the Committee
with regard to any question arising under the Plan or this Stock Option
Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company and the Optionee
and any other person entitled to exercise the Option as provided for herein.
17. GOVERNING LAW
The validity and construction of this Stock Option Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware but not including the choice of
law rules thereof.
18. BINDING EFFECT
Subject to all restrictions provided for in this Stock Option
Agreement, the Plan and by applicable law limiting assignment and transfer of
this Stock Option Agreement and the Option provided for herein, this Stock
Option Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and
assigns.

be duly executed and delivered in their name and on their behalf, as of the day
