These amendments clarified that the holders of such shares have all rights of a stockholder with respect to those shares (vested or unvested), including voting and dividend rights, subject to the restrictions and forfeiture provisions of the restricted stock agreements. The restricted stock agreements with Mr. Adderton and Mr. Ellin are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.4, respectively, and the amendments Mr. Adderton’s and Mr. Ellin’s agreements are filed herewith as Exhibit 10.5 and 10.6, respectively, and are incorporated into this Item 5.02(e) by reference.

 

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

On May 23, 2012, the Company received the written consent from stockholders holding a majority of its outstanding common stock to permit (but not require) the Board of Directors of the Company to amend its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to (i) effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at any time prior to April 26, 2013, by a ratio of not less than one-for-two and not more than one-for-ten, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and (ii) to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s capital stock to 202,000,000 shares of stock, of which 200,000,000 shares would be common stock and 2,000,000 shares would be preferred stock (the “Authorized Stock Increase”). In addition, such stockholders, pursuant to the written consent, also approved the Company’s Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan of the Company, and related forms of Equity Incentive Plan Notice of Grant Restricted Stock Agreement, and Notice of Grant and Stock Option Agreement (the "Plan Approval").

 

As of May 23, 2012, 45,843,434 shares of common stock (54.65% of the 83,891,232 shares entitled to vote) have voted to consent to the Reverse Stock Split, the Authorized Stock Increase and the Plan Approval. There were no abstentions or consents withheld.

 

Notwithstanding receipt of stockholder approval of the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Stock Increase, the Board of Directors reserves the right, without further action by the stockholders, to elect not to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split and/or the Authorized Stock Increase if, at any time prior to the filing of a Certificate of Amendment for the Reverse Stock Split and/or Authorized Stock Increase, the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in the Company’s best interest and the best interests of the Company’s stockholders to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split and/or Authorized Stock Increase.

 

The Company intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mail to its stockholders, as promptly as practicable, an information statement describing the Reverse Stock Split, the Authorized Stock Increase and the Plan Adoption.

 

The Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan of the Company, the Company’s Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan Notice of Grant and Restricted Stock Agreement, and the Company’s Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan Notice of Grant and Stock Option Agreement are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9, respectively.

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

 

NEUMEDIA, INC.

 

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) made as of December 28, 2011 (the “Grant Date”), between NeuMedia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Peter Adderton (the “Holder”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company has purchased substantially all of the assets of Digital Turbine Group, LLC, and in connection therewith, has entered into an employment or consulting agreement with the Holder (the “Services Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Holder’s employment or consulting services, the Company desires to offer to the Holder shares of the Company’s common stock, $.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), all on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and

 

WHEREAS, the Holder wishes to accept said offer.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.            Terms of Grant . The Holder hereby accepts the offer of the Company to issue to the Holder, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, 9,037,500 Shares of Common Stock (such shares subject to adjustment pursuant to Subsection 2.1(g) hereof, the “Granted Shares”).

 

2.            Vesting and Other Restrictions .

 

(a)           Vesting Schedule . The Granted Shares shall vest as follows: (i) one third (1/3) shall vest immediately upon the completion of one or more debt or equity financings during the Measurement Period (as defined in the Services Agreement) in favor of the Company of gross proceeds of at least $5 million; (ii) one third (1/3) shall vest immediately if on any date during the Measurement Period the Company’s total enterprise value (computed by multiplying the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted (taking into account only those stock options that are in-the-money on such date), as-converted basis by the average daily trading price for Common Stock for the thirty (30) trading day period immediately preceding the date of determination) equals or exceeds $100 million; and (iii) one third (1/3) shall vest immediately if on any date during the Measurement Period the Company’s total enterprise value (calculated as set forth in clause (ii) above) equals or exceeds $200 million; provided, however, that all unvested shares of restricted common stock shall vest immediately upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, upon the merger or reorganization of the Company following which the equityholders of the Company immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or reorganization collectively own less than 50% of the voting power of the resulting entity, or upon the sale of equity securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the voting power of the Company or 50% or more of the economic interest in the Company in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions.

 

 
 

 

(b)           Prohibition on Transfer . The Holder recognizes and agrees that all Granted Shares, even if fully vested in accordance with Section 2(a), may not be sold, transferred, assigned, hypothecated, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, other than to the Company (or its designee) for a period of one (1) year from the date such shares vest in accordance with Section 2.1(a) (the “Holding Period”). The Company shall not be required to transfer any Granted Shares on its books which shall have been sold, assigned or otherwise transferred in violation of this Subsection 2.1(b), or to treat as the owner of such Granted Shares, or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to, any person or organization to which any such Granted Shares shall have been so sold, assigned or otherwise transferred, in violation of this Subsection 2.1(b).

 

(c)           Escrow . The certificates representing all Granted Shares issued to the Holder hereunder shall be delivered to the Company and the Company shall hold such Granted Shares in escrow as provided in this Subsection 2.1(c). The Company shall release from escrow and deliver to the Holder within thirty (30) days of the Holding Period (with respect to any vested shares) a certificate for the whole number of Granted Shares which have vested and for which the Holding Period has expired. In the event that the vesting conditions set forth above have not been satisfied prior to the expiration of the Measurement Period, the Company shall release from escrow as of the last date of the Measurement Period and cancel a certificate for the number of Granted Shares so forfeited. Any securities distributed in respect of the Granted Shares held in escrow, including, without limitation, shares issued as a result of stock splits, stock dividends or other recapitalizations, shall also be held in escrow in the same manner as the Granted Shares.

 

(d)           Failure to Deliver Granted Shares . In the event that the Granted Shares to be cancelled by the Company under this Agreement or subject to the Holding Period are not in the Company’s possession pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c) above or otherwise and the Holder or the Holder’s successor or permitted assignee fails to deliver such Granted Shares to the Company (or its designee), the Company may immediately take such action as is appropriate to transfer record title of such Granted Shares from the Holder to the Company (or its designee) and treat the Holder and such Granted Shares in all respects as if delivery of such Granted Shares had been made as required by this Agreement. The Holder hereby irrevocably grants the Company a power of attorney which shall be coupled with an interest for the purpose of effectuating the preceding sentence.

 

(e)           Adjustments . The Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) contains provisions covering the treatment of the Granted Shares in a number of contingencies such as stock splits and mergers. Provisions in the Plan for adjustment with respect to the Granted Shares and the related provisions with respect to successors to the business of the Company are hereby made applicable hereunder and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

2
 

 

3.            General Restrictions on Transfer of Granted Shares .

 

(a)           The Holder agrees that in the event the Company proposes to offer for sale to the public any of its equity securities and such Holder is requested by the Company and any underwriter engaged by the Company in connection with such offering to sign an agreement restricting the sale or other transfer of Granted Shares, then it will promptly sign such agreement and will not transfer, whether in privately negotiated transactions or to the public in open market transactions or otherwise, any Granted Shares or other securities of the Company held by him or her during such period as is determined by the Company and the underwriters, not to exceed ninety (90) days following the closing of the offering, plus such additional period of time as may be required to comply with NASD Rule 2711 or similar rules thereto (such period, the “Lock-Up Period”). Such agreement shall be in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and such underwriter and pursuant to customary and prevailing terms and conditions. Notwithstanding whether the Holder has signed such an agreement, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Granted Shares or other securities of the Company subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of the Lock-Up Period.

 

(b)           The Holder acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor its shareholders nor its directors and officers, has any duty or obligation to disclose to the Holder any material information regarding the business of the Company or affecting the value of the Granted Shares at any time, including, without limitation, any information concerning plans for the Company to make a public offering of its securities or to be acquired by or merged with or into another firm or entity.

 

4.             Purchase for Investment; Securities Law Compliance . The offering and sale of the Granted Shares have not been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The Holder hereby represents and warrants that he or she is acquiring the Granted Shares for his or her own account, for investment, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Granted Shares. The Holder understands that because the Granted Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act, the Holder must continue to bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time. The Holder represents and warrants that the Holder (a) has been furnished with all information which it deems necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of the receipt of the Granted Shares, (b) has had the opportunity to ask questions concerning the Granted Shares and the Company and all questions posed have been answered to his or her satisfaction, (c) has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information he or she deems necessary to verify the accuracy of any information obtained concerning the Granted Shares and the Company and (d) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Holder is able to evaluate the merits and risks of investing in the Granted Shares and to make an informed investment decision relating thereto. The Holder specifically acknowledges and agrees that any sales of Granted Shares shall be made in accordance with the requirements of the 1933 Act, in a transaction as to which the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it confirming such compliance. The Holder shall be bound by the provisions of the following legend which shall be endorsed upon the certificate(s) evidencing the Granted Shares issued:

 

“The shares represented by this certificate have been taken for investment and they may not be sold or otherwise transferred by any person, including a pledgee, unless (1) either (a) a Registration Statement with respect to such shares shall be effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that an exemption from registration under such Act is then available, and (2) there shall have been compliance with all applicable state securities laws.”

 

3
 

 

5.             No Rights as a Stockholder . The Holder shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to the Granted Shares, including voting and dividend rights, unless and until such Granted Shares shall have vested in accordance with the terms hereof, and in all cases subject to the restrictions set forth herein.

 

6.             Legend . All certificates representing the Granted Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Agreement shall have endorsed thereon a legend substantially as follows:

 

“The shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions set forth in a Restricted Stock Agreement dated as of December 28, 2011 with this Company, a copy of which Agreement is available for inspection at the offices of the Company or will be made available upon request.”

 

7.             Tax Liability of the Holder and Payment of Taxes . The Holder acknowledges and agrees that any income or other taxes due from the Holder with respect to the Granted Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement, shall be the Holder’s responsibility. Without limiting the foregoing, the Holder agrees that, to the extent that the lapsing of restrictions on disposition of any of the Granted Shares or the declaration of dividends on any such shares before the lapse of such restrictions on disposition results in the Holder’s being deemed to be in receipt of earned income, the Company shall be entitled to immediate payment from the Holder of the amount of any tax required to be withheld by the Company under applicable tax law. The Holder has been given the opportunity to obtain the advice of his or her tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the purchase of the Granted Shares and the provisions of this Agreement.

 

Upon execution of this Agreement, if the Holder is a United States tax payer, the Holder may file an election under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B. The Holder acknowledges that if he or she does not file such an election, as the Granted Shares become vested in accordance with Section 2.1, the Holder will have income for tax purposes equal to the fair market value of the Granted Shares at such date, less the price paid for the Granted Shares by the Holder.

 

Any taxes due from the Holder that are required to be withheld by the Company under any applicable tax law shall be paid by the Holder by depositing with the Company an amount of cash equal to the amount determined by the Company to be required with respect to the statutory minimum of the Holder’s estimated total federal, state and local tax obligations associated with the vesting of such shares with respect to the Granted Shares or otherwise withholding from the Holder’s paycheck an amount equal to the withholding tax due and payable.

 

8.             Equitable Relief . The Holder specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement, including the attempted transfer of the Granted Shares by the Holder in violation of this Agreement, monetary damages may not be adequate to compensate the Company, and, therefore, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any right to damages, the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief in any court having competent jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for any such breach or threatened breach.

 

4
 

 

9.             No Obligation to Maintain Relationship . The Company is not by this Agreement obligated to continue the Holder as an employee, director or consultant of the Company or any affiliate thereof. The Holder acknowledges: (a) that the grant of the shares is a one-time benefit which does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of shares, or benefits in lieu of shares; (b) that all determinations with respect to any such future grants, including, but not limited to, the times when shares shall be granted, the number of shares to be granted, the purchase price, and the time or times when each share shall vest, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (c) that the value of the Granted Shares is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Holder’s employment contract, if any; and (d) that the Granted Shares are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

 

10.           Notices . Any notices required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement shall be given by recognized courier service, facsimile, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

 

If to the Company:

 

NeuMedia, Inc.

4751 Wilshire Blvd., 3rd Floor

 Newport Coast, CA 92657

 

or to such other address or addresses of which notice in the same manner has previously been given. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the earliest of receipt, one business day following delivery by the sender to a recognized courier service, or three business days following mailing by registered or certified mail.

 

11.           Benefit of Agreement . Subject to the other provisions hereof, this Agreement shall be for the benefit of and shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

 

12.           Governing Law . This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof. For the purpose of litigating any dispute that arises under this Agreement, whether at law or in equity, the parties hereby consent to exclusive jurisdiction in the State of California and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the state courts of State of California or the federal courts of the United States for the District of Los Angeles, California.

 

5
 

 

13.            Severability . If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such provision or provisions shall be modified to the extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable, and to the extent that this is impossible, then such provision shall be deemed to be excised from this Agreement, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the rest of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

 

14.            Entire Agreement . This Agreement, together with the Services Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. No statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement not expressly set forth in this Agreement shall affect or be used to interpret, change or restrict the express terms and provisions of this Agreement.

 

15.            Modifications and Amendments; Waivers and Consents . The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure therefrom granted, only by written document executed by the party entitled to the benefits of such terms or provisions. No such waiver or consent shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this Agreement, whether or not similar. Each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was given, and shall not constitute a continuing waiver or consent.

 

16.            Consent of Spouse/Domestic Partner . If the Holder has a spouse or domestic partner as of the date of this Agreement, the Holder’s spouse or domestic partner shall execute a Consent of Spouse/Domestic Partner in the form of Exhibit A hereto, effective as of the date hereof. Such consent shall not be deemed to confer or convey to the spouse or domestic partner any rights in the Granted Shares that do not otherwise exist by operation of law or the agreement of the parties. If the Holder subsequent to the date hereof, marries, remarries or applies to the Company for domestic partner benefits, the Holder shall, not later than sixty (60) days thereafter, obtain his or her new spouse/domestic partner’s acknowledgement of and consent to the existence and binding effect of all restrictions contained in this Agreement by having such spouse/domestic partner execute and deliver a Consent of Spouse/Domestic Partner in the form of Exhibit A.

 

17.             Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

18.            Data Privacy . By entering into this Agreement, the Holder: (a) authorizes the Company and each affiliate thereof to disclose to the Company or any of its affiliates such information and data as the Company or any such affiliate shall request in order to facilitate the grant of Granted Shares; (b) waives any data privacy rights he or she may have with respect to such information; and (c) authorizes the Company and such affiliate to store and transmit such information in electronic form.

Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement. I am aware that by its provisions the Granted Shares granted to my spouse/domestic partner pursuant to the Agreement are subject to vesting conditions and that, accordingly, I may be required to forfeit to NeuMedia, Inc. any or all of the unvested Granted Shares of which I may become possessed as a result of a gift from my spouse/domestic partner or a court decree and/or any property settlement in any domestic litigation.

 

I hereby agree that my interest, if any, in the Granted Shares subject to the Agreement shall be irrevocably bound by the Agreement and further understand and agree that any community property interest I may have in the Granted Shares shall be similarly bound by the Agreement.

Further, as part of the consideration for the Agreement, I agree that at my death, if I have not disposed of any interest of mine in the Granted Shares by an outright bequest of the Granted Shares to my spouse or domestic partner, then the Company shall have the same rights against my legal representative to exercise its rights to the Granted Shares with respect to any interest of mine in the Granted Shares as it would have had pursuant to the Agreement if I had acquired the Granted Shares pursuant to a court decree in domestic litigation.

 

I AM AWARE THAT THE LEGAL, FINANCIAL AND RELATED MATTERS CONTAINED IN THE AGREEMENT ARE COMPLEX AND THAT I AM FREE TO SEEK INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE OR COUNSEL WITH RESPECT TO THIS CONSENT.

WHEREAS, the Holder wishes to accept said offer.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.            Terms of Grant . The Holder hereby accepts the offer of the Company to issue to the Holder, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, three million six hundred thousand (3,600,000) shares of Common Stock (such shares subject to adjustment pursuant to Subsection 2.1(g) hereof, the “Granted Shares”).

In the event that the Granted Shares to be cancelled by the Company under this Agreement or subject to the Holding Period are not in the Company’s possession pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c) above or otherwise and the Holder or the Holder’s successor or permitted assignee fails to deliver such Granted Shares to the Company (or its designee), the Company may immediately take such action as is appropriate to transfer record title of such Granted Shares from the Holder to the Company (or its designee) and treat the Holder and such Granted Shares in all respects as if delivery of such Granted Shares had been made as required by this Agreement. The Holder hereby irrevocably grants the Company a power of attorney which shall be coupled with an interest for the purpose of effectuating the preceding sentence.

 

(e)           Adjustments . The Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) contains provisions covering the treatment of the Granted Shares in a number of contingencies such as stock splits and mergers. Provisions in the Plan for adjustment with respect to the Granted Shares and the related provisions with respect to successors to the business of the Company are hereby made applicable hereunder and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

3.            General Restrictions on Transfer of Granted Shares .

 

(a)           The Holder agrees that in the event the Company proposes to offer for sale to the public any of its equity securities and such Holder is requested by the Company and any underwriter engaged by the Company in connection with such offering to sign an agreement restricting the sale or other transfer of Granted Shares, then it will promptly sign such agreement and will not transfer, whether in privately negotiated transactions or to the public in open market transactions or otherwise, any Granted Shares or other securities of the Company held by him or her during such period as is determined by the Company and the underwriters, not to exceed ninety (90) days following the closing of the offering, plus such additional period of time as may be required to comply with NASD Rule 2711 or similar rules thereto (such period, the “Lock-Up Period”).

 

2
 

 

Such agreement shall be in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and such underwriter and pursuant to customary and prevailing terms and conditions. Notwithstanding whether the Holder has signed such an agreement, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Granted Shares or other securities of the Company subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of the Lock-Up Period.

 

(b)           The Holder acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor its shareholders nor its directors and officers, has any duty or obligation to disclose to the Holder any material information regarding the business of the Company or affecting the value of the Granted Shares at any time, including, without limitation, any information concerning plans for the Company to make a public offering of its securities or to be acquired by or merged with or into another firm or entity.

 

4.            Purchase for Investment; Securities Law Compliance . The offering and sale of the Granted Shares have not been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The Holder hereby represents and warrants that he or she is acquiring the Granted Shares for his or her own account, for investment, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Granted Shares. The Holder understands that because the Granted Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act, the Holder must continue to bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time. The Holder represents and warrants that the Holder (a) has been furnished with all information which it deems necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of the receipt of the Granted Shares, (b) has had the opportunity to ask questions concerning the Granted Shares and the Company and all questions posed have been answered to his or her satisfaction, (c) has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information he or she deems necessary to verify the accuracy of any information obtained concerning the Granted Shares and the Company and (d) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Holder is able to evaluate the merits and risks of investing in the Granted Shares and to make an informed investment decision relating thereto. The Holder specifically acknowledges and agrees that any sales of Granted Shares shall be made in accordance with the requirements of the 1933 Act, in a transaction as to which the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it confirming such compliance. The Holder shall be bound by the provisions of the following legend which shall be endorsed upon the certificate(s) evidencing the Granted Shares issued:

 

“The shares represented by this certificate have been taken for investment and they may not be sold or otherwise transferred by any person, including a pledgee, unless (1) either (a) a Registration Statement with respect to such shares shall be effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that an exemption from registration under such Act is then available, and (2) there shall have been compliance with all applicable state securities laws.”

 

3
 

 

5.            No Rights as a Stockholder . The Holder shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to the Granted Shares, including voting and dividend rights, unless and until such Granted Shares shall have vested in accordance with the terms hereof, and in all cases subject to the restrictions set forth herein.

 

6.            Legend . All certificates representing the Granted Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Agreement shall have endorsed thereon a legend substantially as follows:

 

“The shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions set forth in a Restricted Stock Agreement dated as of December 28, 2011 with this Company, a copy of which Agreement is available for inspection at the offices of the Company or will be made available upon request.”

 

7.            Tax Liability of the Holder and Payment of Taxes . The Holder acknowledges and agrees that any income or other taxes due from the Holder with respect to the Granted Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement, shall be the Holder’s responsibility. Without limiting the foregoing, the Holder agrees that, to the extent that the lapsing of restrictions on disposition of any of the Granted Shares or the declaration of dividends on any such shares before the lapse of such restrictions on disposition results in the Holder’s being deemed to be in receipt of earned income, the Company shall be entitled to immediate payment from the Holder of the amount of any tax required to be withheld by the Company under applicable tax law. The Holder has been given the opportunity to obtain the advice of his or her tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the purchase of the Granted Shares and the provisions of this Agreement.

 

Upon execution of this Agreement, if the Holder is a United States tax payer, the Holder may file an election under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B . The Holder acknowledges that if he or she does not file such an election, as the Granted Shares become vested in accordance with Section 2.1, the Holder will have income for tax purposes equal to the fair market value of the Granted Shares at such date, less the price paid for the Granted Shares by the Holder.

 

Any taxes due from the Holder that are required to be withheld by the Company under any applicable tax law shall be paid by the Holder by depositing with the Company an amount of cash equal to the amount determined by the Company to be required with respect to the statutory minimum of the Holder’s estimated total federal, state and local tax obligations associated with the vesting of such shares with respect to the Granted Shares or otherwise withholding from the Holder’s paycheck an amount equal to the withholding tax due and payable.

8.            Equitable Relief . The Holder specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement, including the attempted transfer of the Granted Shares by the Holder in violation of this Agreement, monetary damages may not be adequate to compensate the Company, and, therefore, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any right to damages, the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief in any court having competent jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for any such breach or threatened breach.

 

9.            No Obligation to Maintain Relationship . The Company is not by this Agreement obligated to continue the Holder as an employee, director or consultant of the Company or any affiliate thereof. The Holder acknowledges: (a) that the grant of the shares is a one-time benefit which does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of shares, or benefits in lieu of shares; (b) that all determinations with respect to any such future grants, including, but not limited to, the times when shares shall be granted, the number of shares to be granted, the purchase price, and the time or times when each share shall vest, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (c) that the value of the Granted Shares is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Holder’s employment contract, if any; and (d) that the Granted Shares are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

13.          Severability .

The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure therefrom granted, only by written document executed by the party entitled to the benefits of such terms or provisions. No such waiver or consent shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this Agreement, whether or not similar.

CONSENT OF SPOUSE/DOMESTIC PARTNER

 

I, ___________________, spouse or domestic partner of Robert Ellin, acknowledge that I have read the RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT dated as of [__________], [_____] (the “Agreement”) to which this Consent is attached as Exhibit A and that I know its contents. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement. I am aware that by its provisions the Granted Shares granted to my spouse/domestic partner pursuant to the Agreement are subject to vesting conditions and that, accordingly, I may be required to forfeit to NeuMedia, Inc. any or all of the unvested Granted Shares of which I may become possessed as a result of a gift from my spouse/domestic partner or a court decree and/or any property settlement in any domestic litigation.

 

I hereby agree that my interest, if any, in the Granted Shares subject to the Agreement shall be irrevocably bound by the Agreement and further understand and agree that any community property interest I may have in the Granted Shares shall be similarly bound by the Agreement.

 

I agree to the vesting conditions described in the Agreement and I hereby consent to the cancellation of the Granted Shares to the Company by my spouse/domestic partner or my spouse/domestic partner’s legal representative in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement. Further, as part of the consideration for the Agreement, I agree that at my death, if I have not disposed of any interest of mine in the Granted Shares by an outright bequest of the Granted Shares to my spouse or domestic partner, then the Company shall have the same rights against my legal representative to exercise its rights to the Granted Shares with respect to any interest of mine in the Granted Shares as it would have had pursuant to the Agreement if I had acquired the Granted Shares pursuant to a court decree in domestic litigation.

 

I AM AWARE THAT THE LEGAL, FINANCIAL AND RELATED MATTERS CONTAINED IN THE AGREEMENT ARE COMPLEX AND THAT I AM FREE TO SEEK INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE OR COUNSEL WITH RESPECT TO THIS CONSENT. I HAVE EITHER SOUGHT SUCH GUIDANCE OR COUNSEL OR DETERMINED AFTER REVIEWING THE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY THAT I WILL WAIVE SUCH RIGHT.

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

 

NEUMEDIA, INC.

 

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) made as of December 28, 2011 (the “Grant Date”), between NeuMedia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Robert Ellin (the “Holder”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an Executive Chairman Agreement with the Holder (the “Services Agreement”); 

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Holder’s services under the Services Agreement, the Company desires to offer to the Holder shares of the Company’s common stock, $.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), all on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and

 

WHEREAS, the Holder wishes to accept said offer.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.            Terms of Grant . The Holder hereby accepts the offer of the Company to issue to the Holder, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, three million four hundred thousand (3,400,000) shares of Common Stock (such shares subject to adjustment pursuant to Subsection 2.1(g) hereof, the “Granted Shares”).

 

2.            Vesting and Other Restrictions .

 

(a)           Vesting Schedule . The Granted Shares shall vest as follows: (i) one third (1/3) shall vest immediately upon the completion of one or more debt or equity financings during the Measurement Period (as defined in the Services Agreement) in favor of the Company of gross proceeds of at least $5 million; (ii) one third (1/3) shall vest immediately if on any date during the Measurement Period the Company’s total enterprise value (computed by multiplying the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted (taking into account only those stock options that are in-the-money on such date), as-converted basis by the average daily trading price for Common Stock for the thirty (30) trading day period immediately preceding the date of determination) equals or exceeds $100 million; and (iii) one third (1/3) shall vest immediately if on any date during the Measurement Period the Company’s total enterprise value (calculated as set forth in clause (ii) above) equals or exceeds $200 million; provided, however, that all unvested shares of restricted common stock shall vest immediately upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, upon the merger or reorganization of the Company following which the equityholders of the Company immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or reorganization collectively own less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the resulting entity, upon the sale of equity securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of the Company or fifty percent (50%) or more of the economic interest in the Company in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, or at such time, if any, during the Term at which (A) the composition of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company is different from the composition of the Board on the Grant Date and (B) the Holder has reasonably objected in writing to such number of new or replacement members joining the Board of Directors after the Grant Date such that he has reasonably objected to a majority of the members of the Board of Directors (a “Change of Control”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions set forth in this Section 2(a) or a Change of Control do not occur prior to the end of the Measurement Period, all unvested shares shall be forfeited and immediately cancelled without further action on the part of the Holder or the Company.

 

 
 

  

(b)           Prohibition on Transfer . The Holder recognizes and agrees that all Granted Shares, even if fully vested in accordance with Section 2(a), may not be sold, transferred, assigned, hypothecated, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, other than to the Company (or its designee) for a period of one (1) years from the date such shares vest in accordance with Section 2.1(a) (the “Holding Period”). The Company shall not be required to transfer any Granted Shares on its books which shall have been sold, assigned or otherwise transferred in violation of this Subsection 2.1(b), or to treat as the owner of such Granted Shares, or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to, any person or organization to which any such Granted Shares shall have been so sold, assigned or otherwise transferred, in violation of this Subsection 2.1(b).

 

(c)           Escrow . The certificates representing all Granted Shares issued to the Holder hereunder shall be delivered to the Company and the Company shall hold such Granted Shares in escrow as provided in this Subsection 2.1(c). The Company shall release from escrow and deliver to the Holder within thirty (30) days of the Holding Period (with respect to any vested shares) a certificate for the whole number of Granted Shares which have vested and for which the Holding Period has expired. In the event that the vesting conditions set forth above have not been satisfied prior to the expiration of the Measurement Period, the Company shall release from escrow as of the last date of the Measurement Period and cancel a certificate for the number of Granted Shares so forfeited. Any securities distributed in respect of the Granted Shares held in escrow, including, without limitation, shares issued as a result of stock splits, stock dividends or other recapitalizations, shall also be held in escrow in the same manner as the Granted Shares.

(d)           Failure to Deliver Granted Shares . In the event that the Granted Shares to be cancelled by the Company under this Agreement or subject to the Holding Period are not in the Company’s possession pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c) above or otherwise and the Holder or the Holder’s successor or permitted assignee fails to deliver such Granted Shares to the Company (or its designee), the Company may immediately take such action as is appropriate to transfer record title of such Granted Shares from the Holder to the Company (or its designee) and treat the Holder and such Granted Shares in all respects as if delivery of such Granted Shares had been made as required by this Agreement. The Holder hereby irrevocably grants the Company a power of attorney which shall be coupled with an interest for the purpose of effectuating the preceding sentence.

 

(e)           Adjustments . The Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) contains provisions covering the treatment of the Granted Shares in a number of contingencies such as stock splits and mergers. Provisions in the Plan for adjustment with respect to the Granted Shares and the related provisions with respect to successors to the business of the Company are hereby made applicable hereunder and are incorporated herein by reference. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan, the Granted Shares shall vest in accordance with Subsection 2.1(a) hereof.

 

3.            General Restrictions on Transfer of Granted Shares .

 

(a)           The Holder agrees that in the event the Company proposes to offer for sale to the public any of its equity securities and such Holder is requested by the Company and any underwriter engaged by the Company in connection with such offering to sign an agreement restricting the sale or other transfer of Granted Shares, then it will promptly sign such agreement and will not transfer, whether in privately negotiated transactions or to the public in open market transactions or otherwise, any Granted Shares or other securities of the Company held by him or her during such period as is determined by the Company and the underwriters, not to exceed ninety (90) days following the closing of the offering, plus such additional period of time as may be required to comply with NASD Rule 2711 or similar rules thereto (such period, the “Lock-Up Period”). Such agreement shall be in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and such underwriter and pursuant to customary and prevailing terms and conditions. Notwithstanding whether the Holder has signed such an agreement, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Granted Shares or other securities of the Company subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of the Lock-Up Period.

 

3
 

 

(b)           The Holder acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor its shareholders nor its directors and officers, has any duty or obligation to disclose to the Holder any material information regarding the business of the Company or affecting the value of the Granted Shares at any time, including, without limitation, any information concerning plans for the Company to make a public offering of its securities or to be acquired by or merged with or into another firm or entity.

 

4.            Purchase for Investment; Securities Law Compliance . The offering and sale of the Granted Shares have not been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).

The Holder understands that because the Granted Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act, the Holder must continue to bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time. The Holder represents and warrants that the Holder (a) has been furnished with all information which it deems necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of the receipt of the Granted Shares, (b) has had the opportunity to ask questions concerning the Granted Shares and the Company and all questions posed have been answered to his or her satisfaction, (c) has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information he or she deems necessary to verify the accuracy of any information obtained concerning the Granted Shares and the Company and (d) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Holder is able to evaluate the merits and risks of investing in the Granted Shares and to make an informed investment decision relating thereto. The Holder specifically acknowledges and agrees that any sales of Granted Shares shall be made in accordance with the requirements of the 1933 Act, in a transaction as to which the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it confirming such compliance. The Holder shall be bound by the provisions of the following legend which shall be endorsed upon the certificate(s) evidencing the Granted Shares issued:

 

“The shares represented by this certificate have been taken for investment and they may not be sold or otherwise transferred by any person, including a pledgee, unless (1) either (a) a Registration Statement with respect to such shares shall be effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that an exemption from registration under such Act is then available, and (2) there shall have been compliance with all applicable state securities laws.”

 

5.            No Rights as a Stockholder .

7.            Tax Liability of the Holder and Payment of Taxes . The Holder acknowledges and agrees that any income or other taxes due from the Holder with respect to the Granted Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement, shall be the Holder’s responsibility. Without limiting the foregoing, the Holder agrees that, to the extent that the lapsing of restrictions on disposition of any of the Granted Shares or the declaration of dividends on any such shares before the lapse of such restrictions on disposition results in the Holder’s being deemed to be in receipt of earned income, the Company shall be entitled to immediate payment from the Holder of the amount of any tax required to be withheld by the Company under applicable tax law. The Holder has been given the opportunity to obtain the advice of his or her tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the purchase of the Granted Shares and the provisions of this Agreement.

 

Upon execution of this Agreement, if the Holder is a United States tax payer, the Holder may file an election under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B . The Holder acknowledges that if he or she does not file such an election, as the Granted Shares become vested in accordance with Section 2.1, the Holder will have income for tax purposes equal to the fair market value of the Granted Shares at such date, less the price paid for the Granted Shares by the Holder.

 

Any taxes due from the Holder that are required to be withheld by the Company under any applicable tax law shall be paid by the Holder by depositing with the Company an amount of cash equal to the amount determined by the Company to be required with respect to the statutory minimum of the Holder’s estimated total federal, state and local tax obligations associated with the vesting of such shares with respect to the Granted Shares or otherwise withholding from the Holder’s paycheck an amount equal to the withholding tax due and payable.

 

8.            Equitable Relief . The Holder specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement, including the attempted transfer of the Granted Shares by the Holder in violation of this Agreement, monetary damages may not be adequate to compensate the Company, and, therefore, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any right to damages, the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief in any court having competent jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for any such breach or threatened breach.

Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement.

I hereby agree that my interest, if any, in the Granted Shares subject to the Agreement shall be irrevocably bound by the Agreement and further understand and agree that any community property interest I may have in the Granted Shares shall be similarly bound by the Agreement.

Further, as part of the consideration for the Agreement, I agree that at my death, if I have not disposed of any interest of mine in the Granted Shares by an outright bequest of the Granted Shares to my spouse or domestic partner, then the Company shall have the same rights against my legal representative to exercise its rights to the Granted Shares with respect to any interest of mine in the Granted Shares as it would have had pursuant to the Agreement if I had acquired the Granted Shares pursuant to a court decree in domestic litigation.

 

I AM AWARE THAT THE LEGAL, FINANCIAL AND RELATED MATTERS CONTAINED IN THE AGREEMENT ARE COMPLEX AND THAT I AM FREE TO SEEK INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE OR COUNSEL WITH RESPECT TO THIS CONSENT.

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

 

NEUMEDIA, INC.

 

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) made as of December 28, 2011 (the “Grant Date”), between NeuMedia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Robert Ellin (the “Holder”).

 

WHEREAS, in exchange for his valuable services to the Company, the Company desires to offer to the Holder shares of the Company’s common stock, $.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), all on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and

 

WHEREAS, the Holder wishes to accept said offer.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.           Terms of Grant . The Holder hereby accepts the offer of the Company to issue to the Holder, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, one million (1,000,000) shares of Common Stock (such shares subject to adjustment pursuant to Subsection 2.1(g) hereof, the “Granted Shares”).

 

2.           Vesting and Other Restrictions .

 

(a)           Vesting Schedule . The Granted Shares shall vest on the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that all unvested shares of restricted common stock shall vest immediately upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, upon the merger or reorganization of the Company following which the equityholders of the Company immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or reorganization collectively own less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the resulting entity, or upon the sale of equity securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of the Company or fifty percent (50%) or more of the economic interest in the Company in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions.

 

(b)           Prohibition on Transfer . The Holder recognizes and agrees that all Granted Shares, even if fully vested in accordance with Section 2(a), may not be sold, transferred, assigned, hypothecated, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, other than to the Company (or its designee) for a period of one (1) year from the date such shares vest in accordance with Section 2.1(a) (the “Holding Period”). The Company shall not be required to transfer any Granted Shares on its books which shall have been sold, assigned or otherwise transferred in violation of this Subsection 2.1(b), or to treat as the owner of such Granted Shares, or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to, any person or organization to which any such Granted Shares shall have been so sold, assigned or otherwise transferred, in violation of this Subsection 2.1(b).

 

 
 

 

(c)           Escrow . The certificates representing all Granted Shares issued to the Holder hereunder shall be delivered to the Company and the Company shall hold such Granted Shares in escrow as provided in this Subsection 2.1(c). The Company shall release from escrow and deliver to the Holder within thirty (30) days of the Holding Period (with respect to any vested shares) a certificate for the whole number of Granted Shares which have vested and for which the Holding Period has expired. Any securities distributed in respect of the Granted Shares held in escrow, including, without limitation, shares issued as a result of stock splits, stock dividends or other recapitalizations, shall also be held in escrow in the same manner as the Granted Shares.

 

(d)           Failure to Deliver Granted Shares . In the event that the Granted Shares to be cancelled by the Company under this Agreement or subject to the Holding Period are not in the Company’s possession pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c) above or otherwise and the Holder or the Holder’s successor or permitted assignee fails to deliver such Granted Shares to the Company (or its designee), the Company may immediately take such action as is appropriate to transfer record title of such Granted Shares from the Holder to the Company (or its designee) and treat the Holder and such Granted Shares in all respects as if delivery of such Granted Shares had been made as required by this Agreement. The Holder hereby irrevocably grants the Company a power of attorney which shall be coupled with an interest for the purpose of effectuating the preceding sentence.

 

(e)           Adjustments . The Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) contains provisions covering the treatment of shares of common stock in a number of contingencies such as stock splits and mergers. Provisions in the Plan for adjustment with respect to shares of common stock and the related provisions with respect to successors to the business of the Company are hereby made applicable to the Granted Shares hereunder and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

3.           General Restrictions on Transfer of Granted Shares .

 

(a)           The Holder agrees that in the event the Company proposes to offer for sale to the public any of its equity securities and such Holder is requested by the Company and any underwriter engaged by the Company in connection with such offering to sign an agreement restricting the sale or other transfer of Granted Shares, then it will promptly sign such agreement and will not transfer, whether in privately negotiated transactions or to the public in open market transactions or otherwise, any Granted Shares or other securities of the Company held by him or her during such period as is determined by the Company and the underwriters, not to exceed ninety (90) days following the closing of the offering, plus such additional period of time as may be required to comply with NASD Rule 2711 or similar rules thereto (such period, the “Lock-Up Period”). Such agreement shall be in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and such underwriter and pursuant to customary and prevailing terms and conditions. Notwithstanding whether the Holder has signed such an agreement, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Granted Shares or other securities of the Company subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of the Lock-Up Period.

 

2
 

 

(b)           The Holder acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor its shareholders nor its directors and officers has any duty or obligation to disclose to the Holder any material information regarding the business of the Company or affecting the value of the Granted Shares at any time, including, without limitation, any information concerning plans for the Company to make a public offering of its securities or to be acquired by or merged with or into another firm or entity.

 

4.           Purchase for Investment; Securities Law Compliance . The offering and sale of the Granted Shares have not been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The Holder hereby represents and warrants that he or she is acquiring the Granted Shares for his or her own account, for investment, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Granted Shares. The Holder understands that because the Granted Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act, the Holder must continue to bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time. The Holder represents and warrants that the Holder (a) has been furnished with all information which it deems necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of the receipt of the Granted Shares, (b) has had the opportunity to ask questions concerning the Granted Shares and the Company and all questions posed have been answered to his or her satisfaction, (c) has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information he or she deems necessary to verify the accuracy of any information obtained concerning the Granted Shares and the Company and (d) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Holder is able to evaluate the merits and risks of investing in the Granted Shares and to make an informed investment decision relating thereto. The Holder specifically acknowledges and agrees that any sales of Granted Shares shall be made in accordance with the requirements of the 1933 Act, in a transaction as to which the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it confirming such compliance. The Holder shall be bound by the provisions of the following legend which shall be endorsed upon the certificate(s) evidencing the Granted Shares issued:

 

“The shares represented by this certificate have been taken for investment and they may not be sold or otherwise transferred by any person, including a pledgee, unless (1) either (a) a Registration Statement with respect to such shares shall be effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that an exemption from registration under such Act is then available, and (2) there shall have been compliance with all applicable state securities laws.”

 

5.           No Rights as a Stockholder . The Holder shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to the Granted Shares, including voting and dividend rights, unless and until such Granted Shares shall have vested in accordance with the terms hereof, and in all cases subject to the restrictions set forth herein.

 

6.           Legend . All certificates representing the Granted Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Agreement shall have endorsed thereon a legend substantially as follows:

 

“The shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions set forth in a Restricted Stock Agreement dated as of December 28, 2011 with this Company, a copy of which Agreement is available for inspection at the offices of the Company or will be made available upon request.”

 

3
 

 

7.           Tax Liability of the Holder and Payment of Taxes . The Holder acknowledges and agrees that any income or other taxes due from the Holder with respect to the Granted Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement, shall be the Holder’s responsibility. Without limiting the foregoing, the Holder agrees that, to the extent that the lapsing of restrictions on disposition of any of the Granted Shares or the declaration of dividends on any such shares before the lapse of such restrictions on disposition results in the Holder’s being deemed to be in receipt of earned income, the Company shall be entitled to immediate payment from the Holder of the amount of any tax required to be withheld by the Company under applicable tax law. The Holder has been given the opportunity to obtain the advice of his or her tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the purchase of the Granted Shares and the provisions of this Agreement.

 

Upon execution of this Agreement, if the Holder is a United States tax payer, the Holder may file an election under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B . The Holder acknowledges that if he or she does not file such an election, as the Granted Shares become vested in accordance with Section 2.1, the Holder will have income for tax purposes equal to the fair market value of the Granted Shares at such date, less the price paid for the Granted Shares by the Holder.

 

Any taxes due from the Holder that are required to be withheld by the Company under any applicable tax law shall be paid by the Holder by depositing with the Company an amount of cash equal to the amount determined by the Company to be required with respect to the statutory minimum of the Holder’s estimated total federal, state and local tax obligations associated with the vesting of such shares with respect to the Granted Shares or otherwise withholding from the Holder’s paycheck an amount equal to the withholding tax due and payable.

 

8.           Equitable Relief . The Holder specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement, including the attempted transfer of the Granted Shares by the Holder in violation of this Agreement, monetary damages may not be adequate to compensate the Company, and, therefore, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any right to damages, the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief in any court having competent jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for any such breach or threatened breach.

 

9.           No Obligation to Maintain Relationship . The Company is not by this Agreement obligated to continue the Holder as an employee, director or consultant of the Company or any affiliate thereof. The Holder acknowledges: (a) that the grant of the shares is a one-time benefit which does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of shares, or benefits in lieu of shares; (b) that all determinations with respect to any such future grants, including, but not limited to, the times when shares shall be granted, the number of shares to be granted, the purchase price, and the time or times when each share shall vest, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (c) that the value of the Granted Shares is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Holder’s employment contract, if any; and (d) that the Granted Shares are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

11.          Benefit of Agreement . Subject to the other provisions hereof, this Agreement shall be for the benefit of and shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

 

12.          Governing Law . This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof. For the purpose of litigating any dispute that arises under this Agreement, whether at law or in equity, the parties hereby consent to exclusive jurisdiction in the State of California and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the state courts of State of California or the federal courts of the United States for the District of Los Angeles, California.

 

13.          Severability . If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such provision or provisions shall be modified to the extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable, and to the extent that this is impossible, then such provision shall be deemed to be excised from this Agreement, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the rest of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

 

14.          Entire Agreement . This Agreement, together with the Services Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. No statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement not expressly set forth in this Agreement shall affect or be used to interpret, change or restrict the express terms and provisions of this Agreement.

15.          Modifications and Amendments; Waivers and Consents . The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure therefrom granted, only by written document executed by the party entitled to the benefits of such terms or provisions. No such waiver or consent shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this Agreement, whether or not similar. Each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was given, and shall not constitute a continuing waiver or consent.

 

16.          Consent of Spouse/Domestic Partner . If the Holder has a spouse or domestic partner as of the date of this Agreement, the Holder’s spouse or domestic partner shall execute a Consent of Spouse/Domestic Partner in the form of Exhibit A hereto, effective as of the date hereof. Such consent shall not be deemed to confer or convey to the spouse or domestic partner any rights in the Granted Shares that do not otherwise exist by operation of law or the agreement of the parties. If the Holder subsequent to the date hereof, marries, remarries or applies to the Company for domestic partner benefits, the Holder shall, not later than sixty (60) days thereafter, obtain his or her new spouse/domestic partner’s acknowledgement of and consent to the existence and binding effect of all restrictions contained in this Agreement by having such spouse/domestic partner execute and deliver a Consent of Spouse/Domestic Partner in the form of Exhibit A .

 

17.          Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

18.          Data Privacy . By entering into this Agreement, the Holder: (a) authorizes the Company and each affiliate thereof to disclose to the Company or any of its affiliates such information and data as the Company or any such affiliate shall request in order to facilitate the grant of Granted Shares; (b) waives any data privacy rights he or she may have with respect to such information; and (c) authorizes the Company and such affiliate to store and transmit such information in electronic form.

In the event a Participant’s Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant terminates because the Participant has performed an act of Misconduct as determined by the Administrator, all unexercised Options held by such Participant shall expire five (5) business days following written notice from the Company to the Participant; provided, however, that the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, prior to the expiration of such five (5) business day period, reinstate the Options by giving written notice of such reinstatement to Participant. In the event of such reinstatement, the Participant may exercise the Option only to such extent, for such time, and upon such terms and conditions as if the Participant had ceased to be employed by or affiliated with the Company or a Subsidiary upon the date of such termination for a reason other than Misconduct, disability or death;

8
 

 

(d)                Disability . In the event that a Participant's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant terminates as a result of the Participant's Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option at any time within twelve (12) months from the date of such termination, but only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). If, at the date of termination, the Participant is not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan;

 

(e)                 Death . In the event of the death of a Participant, the Participant’s Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), by the Participant's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death. If, at the time of death, the Participant was not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan.

(f)                 10 Years from Grant . An Option shall expire no more than ten (10) years from the Grant Date; provided, however, that if an Incentive Stock Option is granted to an Employee who, together with persons whose stock ownership is attributed to the Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code, owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, such Incentive Stock Option may not be exercised after the expiration of five (5) years from the Grant Date.

 

5.4.2          Administrator Discretion . Notwithstanding the foregoing the Administrator may, after an Option is granted, extend the exercise period that an Option is exercisable following a Participant’s termination of employment (subject to limitations applicable to Incentive Stock Options); provided, however that such extension does not exceed the maximum term of the Option.

 

5.5           Exercisability of Options . Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions as set forth in the Award Agreement and conditions as the Administrator shall determine in its discretion.

5.6.1          Form of Consideration . Upon the exercise of any Option, the Exercise Price shall be payable to the Company in full in cash or its equivalent. The Administrator, in its discretion, also may permit the exercise of Options and same-day sale of related Shares, or exercise by tendering previously acquired Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Exercise Price, or by any other means which the Administrator, in its discretion, determines to provide legal consideration for the Shares, and to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan.

 

5.6.2          Delivery of Shares .

14
 

9.11           Performance-Based Awards . Each agreement for the grant of performance-based awards shall specify the number of Shares underlying the Award, the Performance Period and the Performance Goals (each as defined below). As used herein, “Performance Goals” means performance goals specified in the agreement for any Award which the Administrators determine to make subject to Performance Goals, upon which the vesting or settlement of such award is conditioned and “Performance Period” means the period of time specified in an agreement over which the Award which the Administrators determine to make subject to a Performance Goal, are to be earned. Each agreement for a performance-based Award shall specify in respect of a Performance Goal the minimum level of performance below which no payment will be made, shall describe the method of determining the amount of any payment to be made if performance is at or above the minimum acceptable level, but falls short of full achievement of the Performance Goal, and shall specify the maximum percentage payout under the agreement.

 

9.11.1          Performance Goals for Covered Employees . The Performance Goals for any performance-based Award granted to a Covered Employee, if deemed appropriate by the Administrators, shall be objective and shall otherwise meet the requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, and shall be based upon one or more of the following performance-based business criteria, either on a Company, subsidiary, division, business unit or line of business basis or in comparison with peer group performance or to an index: net sales; gross sales; net revenue; gross revenue; growth in number of customers, households or assets; cash generation; cash flow; unit volume; market share; cost reduction; costs and expenses (including expense efficiency ratios and other expense measures); strategic plan development and implementation; return on net assets; return on actual or proforma assets; return on equity; return on capital; return on investment; return on working capital; return on net capital employed; working capital; asset turnover; economic value added; total stockholder return; stock price; net income; net income before tax; operating income; operating profit margin; net income margin; net interest margin; sales margin; market share; inventory turnover; days sales outstanding; sales growth; capacity utilization; increase in customer base; cash flow; book value; earnings per share; stock price earnings ratio; earnings before interest; taxes; depreciation and amortization expenses (“EBITDA”); earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”); earnings before interest (“EBI”); or EBITDA, EBIT, EBI or earnings before taxes and unusual or nonrecurring items as measured either against the annual budget or as a ratio to revenue. Achievement of any such Performance Goal shall be measured over a period of years not to exceed ten (10) as specified by the Administrators in the agreement for the performance-based Award. No business criterion other than those named above in this Section 9.11.1 may be used in establishing the Performance Goal for an award to a Covered Employee under this Section 9.11. For each such award relating to a Covered Employee, the Administrators shall establish the targeted level or levels of performance for each such business criterion. The Administrators may, in their discretion, reduce the amount of a payout otherwise to be made in connection with an award under this Section 9.11, but may not exercise discretion to increase such amount, and the Administrators may consider other performance criteria in exercising such discretion. All determinations by the Administrators as to the achievement of Performance Goals under this Section 9.11 shall be made in writing. The Administrators may not delegate any responsibility under this Section 9.11. As used herein, “Covered Employee” shall mean, with respect to any grant of an award, an executive of the Company or any subsidiary who is a member of the executive compensation group under the Company’s compensation practices (not necessarily an executive officer) whom the Administrators deem may be or become a covered employee as defined in Section 162(m)(3) of the Code for any year that such award may result in remuneration over $1 million which would not be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code but for the provisions of the Plan and any other “qualified performance-based compensation” plan (as defined under Section 162(m) of the Code) of the Company; provided, however, that the Administrators may determine that a Plan Participant has ceased to be a Covered Employee prior to the settlement of any award.

15
 

 

9.11.2          Mandatory Deferral of Income . The Administrators, in their sole discretion, may require that one or more award agreements contain provisions which provide that, in the event Section 162(m) of the Code, or any successor provision relating to excessive employee remuneration, would operate to disallow a deduction by the Company with respect to all or part of any award under the Plan, a Plan Participant’s receipt of the benefit relating to such award that would not be deductible by the Company shall be deferred until the next succeeding year or years in which the Plan Participant’s remuneration does not exceed the limit set forth in such provisions of the Code; provided, however, that such deferral does not violate Code Section 409A.

 

SECTION 10
AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION, AND TERMINATION

 

10.1           Amendment, Suspension, or Termination . Except as provided in Section 10.2, the Board, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason. The amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted to such Participant. No Award may be granted during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan.

 

10.2           No Amendment without Shareholder Approval . The Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any material Plan amendment to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with the rules of the NASDAQ, the Exchange Act, Section 422 of the Code, or other Applicable Law.

SECTION 11
TAX WITHHOLDING

 

11.1           Withholding Requirements . Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).

 

11.2           Withholding Arrangements . The Administrator, in its discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by (a) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares or (b) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld. The amount of the withholding requirement shall be deemed to include any amount which the Administrator agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made; provided, however, in the case Shares are withheld by the Company to satisfy the tax withholding that would otherwise by issued to the Participant, the amount of such tax withholding shall be determined by applying the statutory minimum federal, state or local income tax rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered shall be determined as of the date taxes are required to be withheld.

12.1           Liability of Company .

12.2           Grants Exceeding Allotted Shares . If the Shares covered by an Award exceed, as of the date of grant, the number of Shares, which may be issued under the Plan without additional shareholder approval, such Award shall be void with respect to such excess Shares, unless shareholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of Shares subject to the Plan is timely obtained.

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

 

1. Grant of Restricted Stock . The Company has granted to you the number of shares of Restricted Common Stock specified in the Notice of Grant on the preceding page (“ Notice of Grant ”), subject to the following terms and conditions. In consideration of such grant, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof, and by the terms and conditions of the Plan.

 

2. Period of Restriction . During the Period of Restriction specified in the Notice of Grant, the Common Shares shall remain subject to the Company’s Return Right (defined in Section 3). The Period of Restriction shall expire and the Company’s Return Right shall lapse as to the Common Shares granted in the amount(s) and on the date(s) specified in the Notice of Grant (each, a “ Release Date ”); provided, however, that no Common Shares shall be released on any Release Date if the Participant has ceased Continuous Status as an Employee, Consultant or Director on or prior to such date. Any and all Common Shares subject to the Company’s Return Right at any time shall be defined in this Notice and Agreement as “ Unreleased Common Shares .”

 

3. Return of Restricted Stock to Company . If Participant ceases Continuous Status as an Employee, Consultant or Director for any reason (a “ Return Event ”), the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Unreleased Common Shares and all rights and interests therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain and transfer such Unreleased Common Shares to its own name. The Participant shall continue to own any Common Shares subject to the terms of the Plan and this Notice and Agreement with respect to which the Participant has Continuous Status as an Employee, Consultant or Director through the Release Date(s) specified in the Notice of Grant for such Common Shares.

 

4. Restriction on Transfer . Except for the transfer of the Common Shares to the Company or its assignees contemplated by this Notice and Agreement, none of the Common Shares or any beneficial interest therein shall be transferred, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in any way until the Release Date for such Common Shares set forth in this Notice and Agreement. In addition, as a condition to any transfer of the Common Shares after such Release Date, the Company may, in its discretion, require: (i) that the Common Shares shall have been duly listed upon any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Company's Common Stock may then be listed or quoted; (ii) that either (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“ Securities Act ”) with respect to the Common Shares shall be effective, or (b) in the opinion of counsel for the Company, the proposed purchase shall be exempt from registration under the Securities Act and the Participant shall have entered into agreements with the Company as reasonably required; and (iii) fulfillment of any other requirements deemed necessary by counsel for the Company to comply with Applicable Law.

 

5. Retention of Common Shares . To ensure the availability for delivery of the Participant's Unreleased Common Shares upon their return to the Company pursuant to this Notice and Agreement, the Company shall retain possession of the share certificates representing the Unreleased Common Shares, together with a stock assignment duly endorsed in blank, attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Company shall hold the Unreleased Common Shares and related stock assignment until the Release Date for such Common Shares. In addition, the Company may require the spouse of Participant, if any, to execute and deliver to the Company the Consent of Spouse in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B . When a Return Event or Release Date occurs, the Company shall promptly deliver the certificate for the applicable Common Shares to the Company or to the Participant, as the case may be.

 

- 2 -
 

6. Stockholder Rights . Subject to the terms hereof, the Participant shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Common Shares while they are retained by the Company pursuant to Section 5, including without limitation, the right to vote the Common Shares and to receive any cash dividends declared thereon. If, from time to time prior to the Release Date, there is (i) any stock dividend, stock split or other change in the Common Shares, or (ii) any merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets or other acquisition of the Company, any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which the Participant shall be entitled by reason of the Participant's ownership of the Common Shares shall be immediately subject to the terms of this Notice and Agreement and included thereafter as “Common Shares” for purposes of this Notice and Agreement.

 

7. Legends . The share certificate evidencing the Common Shares, if any, issued hereunder shall be endorsed with the following legend (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):

 

THE COMMON SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS UPON TRANSFER AND OBLIGATIONS TO RETURN TO THE COMPANY, AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

 

8. U.S. Tax Consequences . 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 Notice and Agreement. The Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its employees or 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 the transactions contemplated by this Notice and Agreement. The Participant understands that for U.S. taxpayers, Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the " Code "), taxes as ordinary income the difference between the purchase price for the Common Shares, if any, and the fair market value of the Common Shares as of the date any restrictions on the Common Shares lapse. In this context, “restriction” includes the right of the Company to the return of the Common Shares upon a Return Event. The Participant understands that if he/she is a U.S. taxpayer, the Participant may elect to be taxed at the time the Common Shares are awarded as Restricted Stock rather than when and as the Return Right expires by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the IRS within 30 days from the date of acquisition. The form for making this election is attached as Exhibit C hereto.

 

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), IF APPLICABLE, EVEN IF THE PARTICIPANT REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON THE PARTICIPANT'S BEHALF.

 

9. General .

 

(a) This Notice and Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Notice and Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference, represents the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the shares of Restricted Common Stock granted to the Participant. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Notice and Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.

 

- 3 -
 

(b) Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be delivered by either the Company or the Participant pursuant to the terms of this Notice and Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, deposited with a reputable courier service, or deposited in the U.S. Mail, First Class with postage prepaid, and addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth in the Notice of Grant, or such other address as a party may request by notifying the other in writing.

 

(c) The rights of the Company under this Notice and Agreement and the Plan shall be transferable to any one or more persons or entities, and all covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Company's successors and assigns. The rights and obligations of the Participant under this Notice and Agreement may only be assigned with the prior written consent of the Company.

 

(d) The Participant agrees upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes or intent of this Notice and Agreement.

 

(e) PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE RELEASE OF COMMON SHARES PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING SERVICE AS AN EMPLOYEE, CONSULTANT OR DIRECTOR, AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, APPOINTED OR OBTAINING COMMON SHARES HEREUNDER.
