Granted Under Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended
------------------------------------------------------------------------
AGREEMENT made this 21st day of February 2002, between Entrust, Inc., a
Maryland corporation (the "Company"), and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx (the "Participant").
Reference is hereby made to that certain Stock Option Agreement dated
October 11, 1999 evidencing the grant by the Company to the Participant on such
date of an option to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value
per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"), at a purchase price of $19.25
per share under the Company's Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, as
amended (the "Plan"), and that certain Stock Option Agreement dated May 15, 2000
evidencing the grant by the Company to the Participant on such date of an option
to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $47.50 per
share under the Plan (together, such agreements, the "Option Agreements, " and
together, such options, the "Options").
For valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
1. Exchange of Options for Shares.
------------------------------
(a) The Participant hereby surrenders to the Company all of his right,
title and interest in, to and under the Option Agreements and the Options, in
each case, effective as of the date hereof.
(b) In consideration of the Participant's surrender of the Options
pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Company hereby issues and sells to the
Participant, and the Participant hereby accepts and purchases from the Company,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan,
an aggregate of 12,500 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares"). The Participant
agrees that 50% of the Shares shall be subject to the purchase option set forth
in Section 2 of this Agreement and the restrictions on transfer set forth in
Section 4 of this Agreement.
1
2. Purchase Option.
---------------
(a) In the event that the Participant ceases to be employed by the
Company for any reason or no reason, with or without cause, prior to the 90th
day following the date hereof (such 90th day, the "Vesting Date"), the Company
shall have the right and option (the "Purchase Option") to purchase from the
Participant, for a per share purchase price equal to the closing price per share
of the Common Stock as reported on The Nasdaq National Market on the date hereof
(the "Option Price"), some or all of the Unvested Shares. "Unvested Shares"
means (i) 6,250 Shares from the date hereof until the calendar day immediately
prior to the Vesting Date and (ii) no Shares on or after the Vesting Date.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, employment with the Company shall
include employment with a parent or subsidiary of the Company.
3. Exercise of Purchase Option and Closing.
---------------------------------------
(a) The Company may exercise the Purchase Option by delivering or
mailing to the Participant (or his estate), within 10 days after the termination
of the employment of the Participant with the Company, a written notice of
exercise of the Purchase Option. Such notice shall specify the number of Shares
to be purchased. If and to the extent the Purchase Option is not so exercised by
the giving of such a notice within such 10-day period, the Purchase Option shall
automatically expire and terminate effective upon the expiration of such 10-day
period.
(b) Within five days after delivery to the Participant of the
Company's notice of the exercise of the Purchase Option pursuant to subsection
(a) above, the Participant (or his estate) shall, pursuant to the provisions of
the Joint Escrow Instructions referred to in Section 5 below, tender to the
Company at its principal offices the certificate or certificates representing
the Shares which the Company has elected to purchase in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, duly endorsed in blank or with duly endorsed stock
powers attached thereto, all in form suitable for the transfer of such Shares to
the Company. Promptly following its receipt of such certificate or certificates,
the Company shall pay to the Participant the aggregate Option Price for such
Shares (provided that any delay in making such payment shall not invalidate the
Company's exercise of the Purchase Option with respect to such Shares).
(c) After the time at which any Shares are required to be delivered to
the Company for transfer to the Company pursuant to subsection (b) above, the
Company shall not pay any dividend to the Participant on account of such Shares
or permit the Participant to exercise any of the privileges or rights of a
stockholder with respect to such Shares, but shall, in so far as permitted by
law, treat the Company as the owner of such Shares.
(d) The Option Price may be payable, at the option of the Company, in
cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the
Participant to the Company or in cash (by check) or both.
(e) The Company shall not purchase any fraction of a Share upon
exercise of the Purchase Option.
(f) The Company may assign its Purchase Option to one or more persons
or entities.
4. Restrictions on Transfer.
------------------------
The Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or
otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively "transfer")
any Shares, or any interest therein, that are subject to the Purchase Option.
2
5. Escrow.
------
The Participant shall, upon the execution of this Agreement, execute Joint
Escrow Instructions in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A. The
---------
Joint Escrow Instructions shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Company, as
escrow agent thereunder. The Participant shall deliver to such escrow agent a
stock assignment duly endorsed in blank, in the form attached to this Agreement
as Exhibit B, and hereby instructs the Company to deliver to such escrow agent,
---------
on behalf of the Participant, the certificate(s) evidencing the Unvested Shares
issued hereunder. Such materials shall be held by such escrow agent pursuant to
the terms of such Joint Escrow Instructions.
6. Restrictive Legends.
-------------------
All certificates representing Shares shall have affixed thereto legends in
substantially the following form, in addition to any other legends that may be
required under federal or state securities laws:
"The shares of stock represented by this certificate are subject to
restrictions on transfer and an option to purchase set forth in a
certain Restricted Stock Agreement between the corporation and the
registered owner of these shares (or his predecessor in interest), and
such Agreement is available for inspection without charge at the
office of the Secretary of the corporation."
7. Provisions of the Plan.
----------------------
This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which
has been furnished to the Participant.
8. Withholding Taxes; Section 83(b) Election.
-----------------------------------------
(a) The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the
right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any
federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with
respect to the purchase of the Shares by the Participant or the lapse of the
Purchase Option.
(b) The Participant has reviewed with the Participant's own tax
advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this
investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant
is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations
of the Company or any of its agents. The Participant understands that the
Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Participant's own
tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant understands that it may be
beneficial in many circumstances to elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are
purchased rather than when and as the Company's Purchase Option expires by
filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the I.R.S. within 30
days from the date of purchase.
THE PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE PARTICIPANT'S SOLE
RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY'S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION
83(b), EVEN IF THE PARTICIPANT REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO
MAKE THIS FILING ON THE PARTICIPANT'S BEHALF.
9. Miscellaneous.
-------------
(a) No Rights to Employment. The Participant acknowledges and agrees
-----------------------
that the vesting of the Shares pursuant to Section 2 hereof is earned only by
continuing service as an employee at the will of the Company (not through the
act of being hired or purchasing shares hereunder). The Participant further
acknowledges and agrees that the transactions contemplated hereunder and the
vesting schedule set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied
promise of continued engagement as an employee or consultant for the vesting
period, for any period, or at all.
3
(b) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision
------------
of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be
severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.
(c) Waiver. The Board of Directors of the Company may waive any
------
provision for the benefit of the Company contained in this Agreement, either
generally or in any particular instance.
(d) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
--------------
the benefit of the Company and the Participant and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns,
subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4 of this
Agreement.
(e) Notice. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in
------
writing and deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or five days after
deposit in the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the other party hereto at the address shown
beneath his or its respective signature to this Agreement, or at such other
address or addresses as either party shall designate to the other in accordance
with this Section 9(e).
(f) Pronouns. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in
--------
this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter
forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and
vice versa.
(g) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the
----------------
entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, including but
not limited to, the Option Agreements.
(h) Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a
---------
written instrument executed by both the Company and the Participant.
(i) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and
-------------
enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Maryland without
regard to any applicable conflicts of laws.
(j) Participant's Acknowledgments. The Participant acknowledges that
-----------------------------
he or she: (i) has read this Agreement; (ii) has been represented in the
preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement by legal counsel of the
Participant's own choice or has voluntarily declined to seek such counsel; (iii)
understands the terms and consequences of this Agreement; (iv) is fully aware of
the legal and binding effect of this Agreement; and (v) understands that the law
firm of Xxxx and Xxxx LLP is acting as counsel to the Company in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, and is not acting as counsel for
the Participant.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of
the day and year first above written.
