APPLIX, INC.
Incentive Stock Option Agreement
Granted Under 2006 Stock Incentive Plan
Granted Under 2006 Stock Incentive Plan
1. Grant of Option.
This agreement evidences the grant by Applix, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the
“Company”), on
, 200___ (the “Grant Date”) to , an employee of the Company (the
“Participant”), of an option to purchase, in whole or in part, on the terms provided herein and in
the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”),
a total of shares
(the “Shares”) of common stock, $.0025 par value per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) at
$ per Share. Unless earlier terminated, this option shall expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time,
on the date seven years after the Grant Date (the “Final Exercise Date”).
It is intended that the option evidenced by this agreement shall be an incentive stock option
as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations
promulgated thereunder (the “Code”). Except as otherwise indicated by the context, the term
“Participant”, as used in this option, shall be deemed to include any person who acquires the right
to exercise this option validly under its terms.
2. Vesting Schedule.
This option will become exercisable (“vest”) as to 12.5% of the original number of Shares at
the end of each successive six-month period following the Grant Date through and including the
fourth anniversary of the Grant Date.
The right of exercise shall be cumulative so that to the extent the option is not exercised in
any period to the maximum extent permissible it shall continue to be exercisable, in whole or in
part, with respect to all Shares for which it is vested until the earlier of the Final Exercise
Date or the termination of this option under Section 3 hereof or the Plan.
3. Exercise of Option.
(a) Form of Exercise. To exercise this option, the Participant must execute and
deliver to the Company at its principal office an exercise notice in the form attached to this
agreement as Exhibit A (or in such other form as the Company may approve), accompanied by a
copy of this Agreement, and payment in full of the exercise price in the following manner:
(1) in cash or by check, payable to the order of the Company;
(2) by (i) delivery of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a creditworthy broker
to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price and any required tax
withholding or (ii) delivery by the Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and
unconditional instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly
to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price and any required tax
withholding;
(3) by delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock owned by
the Participant valued at their fair market value as determined by (or in a manner approved by) the
Board, provided (i) such method of payment is then permitted under applicable law, (ii) such Common
Stock, if acquired directly from the Company, was owned by the Participant for at least six months
prior to such delivery and (iii) such Common Stock is not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture,
unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements; or
(4) by any combination of the above permitted forms of payment.
The Participant may purchase less than the number of shares covered hereby, provided that no
partial exercise of this option may be for any fractional share or for fewer than ten whole shares.
(b) Continuous Relationship with the Company Required. Except as otherwise provided
in this Section 3, this option may not be exercised unless the Participant, at the time he or she
exercises this option, is, and has been at all times since the Grant Date, an employee or officer
of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company as defined
in Section 424(e) or (f) of the Code (an “Eligible Participant”).
(c) Termination of Relationship with the Company. If the Participant ceases to be an
Eligible Participant for any reason, then, except as provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) below, the
right to exercise this option shall terminate three months after such cessation (but in no event
after the Final Exercise Date), provided that this option shall be exercisable only
to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise this option on the date of such
cessation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant, prior to the Final Exercise Date,
violates the non-competition or confidentiality provisions of any employment contract,
confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the
Company, the right to exercise this option shall terminate immediately upon written notice to the
Participant from the Company describing such violation.
(d) Exercise Period Upon Death or Disability. If the Participant dies or becomes
disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to the Final Exercise Date
while he or she is an Eligible Participant and the Company has not terminated such relationship for
“cause” as specified in paragraph (e) below, this option shall be exercisable, within the period of
one year following the date of death or disability of the Participant, by the Participant (or in
the case of death by an authorized transferee), provided that this option shall be
exercisable only to the extent that this option was exercisable by the Participant on the date of
his or her death or disability, and further provided that this option shall not be exercisable
after the Final Exercise Date.
(e) Termination for Cause. If, prior to the Final Exercise Date, the Participant’s
employment is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below), the right to exercise this
option shall terminate immediately upon the effective date of such termination of employment. If,
prior to the Final Exercise Date, the Participant is given notice by the Company of the termination
of his or her employment by the Company for Cause, and the effective date of
- 2 -
such employment termination is subsequent to the date of delivery of such notice, the right to
exercise this option shall be suspended from the time of the delivery of such notice until the
earlier of (i) such time as it is determined or otherwise agreed that the Participant’s employment
shall not be terminated for Cause as provided in such notice or (ii) the effective date of such
termination of employment (in which case the right to exercise this option shall, pursuant to the
preceding sentence, terminate upon the effective date of such termination of employment). If the
Participant is party to an employment or severance agreement with the Company that contains a
definition of “cause” for termination of employment, “Cause” shall have the meaning ascribed to
such term in such agreement. Otherwise, “Cause” shall mean willful misconduct by the Participant
or willful failure by the Participant to perform his or her responsibilities to the Company
(including, without limitation, breach by the Participant of any provision of any employment,
consulting, advisory, nondisclosure, non-competition or other similar agreement between the
Participant and the Company), as determined by the Company, which determination shall be
conclusive. The Participant shall be considered to have been discharged for Cause if the Company
determines, within 30 days after the Participant’s resignation, that discharge for cause was
warranted.
4. Tax Matters.
(a) Withholding. No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of this option
unless and until the Participant pays to the Company, or makes provision satisfactory to the
Company for payment of, any federal, state or local withholding taxes required by law to be
withheld in respect of this option.
(b) Disqualifying Disposition. If the Participant disposes of Shares acquired upon
exercise of this option within two years from the Grant Date or one year after such Shares were
acquired pursuant to exercise of this option, the Participant shall notify the Company in writing
of such disposition.
5. Nontransferability of Option.
This option may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the
Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and, during the lifetime of the Participant, this option shall be exercisable only by
the Participant.
6. Provisions of the Plan.
This option is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is furnished to the
Participant with this option.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this option to be executed under its corporate seal
by its duly authorized officer. This option shall take effect as a sealed instrument.
