(the “Company”) approved forms of (i) Stock Option Grant Notice and Stock Option Agreement, (ii) Restricted Stock Unit Award Grant Notice and Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement and (iii) Restricted Stock Award Grant Notice and Restricted Stock Award Agreement in connection with the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Award Plan. Copies of the forms of these agreements are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.3 and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On and effective August 12, 2009, the Board adopted the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”) in order to conform the Bylaws to Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and other applicable law, as well as the practices of similarly situated companies. A description of the material amendments and other changes to the existing Bylaws is set forth below. The Article and Section numbers set forth below refer to the Articles and Sections included in the Amended and Restated Bylaws, unless otherwise indicated.

ARTICLE II — MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1 (Place of Meetings), Section 3 (Notice of Annual Meeting), Section 4 (List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote) and Section 6 (Notice of Special Meeting) were updated to allow for stockholders’ meetings to be held by remote communication. Those sections previously contemplated attendance at meetings to only include presence in person or by proxy. Section 4 (List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote) was updated to allow for electronic publication of the list of stockholders in addition to the existing method of making the list available at the Company’s principal place of business. Further, Section 9 (Manner of Giving Notice; Affidavit of Notice) was updated to allow for the electronic transmission of notices in addition to the existing method of providing notices through the United States mail.

Section 5 (Special Meetings) was amended to eliminate the ability of stockholders to call a special meeting of the stockholders. Section 5 previously permitted holders of a majority of the capital stock to make a written request for a special meeting of the stockholders. Section 7 (Advance Notice of Business to be Brought Before a Meeting) and Section 8 (Notice of Nomination of Directors) were amended to provide additional procedural requirements and establish clear guidelines for stockholders and the Board with respect to business brought before a stockholders’ meeting. Section 7 previously did not require a stockholder to give advance notice to the Company of any business or nominations the stockholder intended to present at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders. In connection with an annual meeting of the stockholders, Section 7 now requires that a stockholder deliver notice of any business or nominations it intends to present not earlier than the close of business on the 120 th day and not later than the close of business on the 90 th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s meeting, subject to certain exceptions. In connection with a special meeting of the stockholders, Section 7 now provides that where the Board has called a special meeting for the purpose of electing directors to the Board, a stockholder may nominate additional director nominees for consideration if it delivers notice no earlier than the close of business on the 120 th day prior to the date of the special meeting and not later than the close of business on the 90 th day prior to the date of the special meeting, subject to certain exceptions. A stockholder is not allowed to present any other business at a special meeting. To bring business or nominations before a stockholder meeting, a stockholder must be a stockholder of record, both at the time of the notice and at the time of the meeting, must be entitled to vote at the meeting, and must comply with certain other notice procedures, such as updating and supplementing its initial notice. In addition to providing a description of the business the stockholder intends to present at the meeting, the stockholder must also disclose the reasons for conducting such business, any material interest of the stockholder in that business and certain information regarding its direct or indirect security ownership in the Company, including ownership of any derivative or short interest in the Company’s securities. If the stockholder is presenting director nominees, the stockholder must also provide the same information about the nominee as the stockholder is required to disclose about itself, in addition to any information required to be disclosed in


a proxy statement. The stockholder must also disclose its relationship to the nominee, including a description of any recent material monetary agreements between them, and any other information reasonably required by the Company to determine the nominee’s eligibility and independence.

Section 10 (Quorum) now provides that, in the event a quorum is not present at a meeting, the chairperson of the meeting is also authorized to adjourn the meeting. The existing Bylaws gave the power to adjourn a meeting solely to the stockholders entitled to vote thereat. Section 11 (Adjourned Meeting; Notice) was amended to clarify additional requirements applicable to adjourned meetings generally, such as requirements for giving notice of an adjourned meeting. A new Section 12 (Conduct of Business) now grants the Board the power to adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of stockholder meetings and vests the authority to implement such policies in the chairman or secretary of the meeting. Section 13 (Voting; Proxies) was amended to conform the existing Bylaws to the voting standards and proxy rules of the DGCL. Section 15 (Record Date for Stockholder Notice, Voting and Giving Consents) clarifies the rules for setting the record date before a stockholder meeting, including adding a mechanism for fixing a record date in the event the Board does not fix one. Section 17 (Inspector of Elections) was revised to reflect certain statutory requirements of the DGCL regarding the requirement of an inspector to act at meetings and the requisite duties.

ARTICLE III — DIRECTORS

Section 1 (Number of Directors; Election, Qualification and Term of Office) was amended to fix the number of directors serving on the Board at seven and to allow the Board to change the authorized number of directors, provided the number is not set below three. The existing Bylaws provided for an initial board of one and had no limits on the number of new directorships created. Section 1 also sets forth the procedures for director resignations, which procedures were not previously included. Section 6 (Special Meetings) now permits the chief executive officer to call a special meeting of the Board, in addition to the power previously provided to the chairman of the Board, the president or any two directors who requested a special meeting. Section 8 (Action Without a Meeting) has been updated to allow for actions by written consent of the Board to be provided by electronic transmission. A new Section 13 (Tenure, Meetings and Actions of Committees) has been added to provide for the tenure of the committees and to establish procedures for committee meetings, which generally parallel the Board meeting procedures set forth in Article III.

ARTICLE IV — OFFICERS

Section 1 (Officers) was updated to include the positions of chief financial officer, assistant treasurer, vice president and assistant vice president. Section 1 was also revised to provide that the same person may not simultaneously fill the positions of chairman of the board and chief executive officer. Section 3 (Term; Removal; Vacancies) was amended to set forth the procedures for officer resignations, which procedures were not previously included. Section 10 (Chief Financial Officer) has been added to describe the authority of the chief financial officer, including its role as principal financial officer and, unless another person is appointed by the Board, the treasurer. The role of treasurer was previously filled by the president in the event the Board did not elect a treasurer.

ARTICLE V — CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

Section 1 (Stock Certificates) and Section 3 (Transfers of Stock) were amended to reflect the easing of the DGCL requirements related to the issuance of uncertificated shares. These provisions now allow the Board to provide by resolution that some or all of any class or series of the Company’s stock can be represented by book-entry position and not certificated. Section 3 also expands the manner in which the Company’s stock may be transferred.

ARTICLE VI — INDEMNIFICATION

Article VI (Indemnification) was revised to include certain procedural requirements and establish clear guidelines for the Company and an indemnitee, including those related to the payment of claims, indemnification contracts and DGCL limits to indemnification.

A copy of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended as of August 12, 2009, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 3.2.

34


directors, at its regular meetings, or when the board of directors so requires, an account of all his or her transactions as chief financial officer and of the financial condition of the Corporation. If required by the board of directors, he or she shall give the Corporation a bond (which shall be renewed every six (6) years) in such sum and with such surety or sureties as shall be satisfactory to the board of directors for the faithful performance of the duties of his or her office and for the restoration to the Corporation, in case of his or her death, resignation, retirement or removal from office, of all books, papers, vouchers, money and other property of whatever kind in his or her possession or under his or her control belonging to the Corporation.

ARTICLE V

CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

Section 1. Stock Certificates . The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the board of directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of the Corporation’s stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. Every holder of stock in the Corporation represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by, the chairman of the board of directors, or the president or a vice president, and

 

35


the treasurer or an assistant treasurer, or the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation, representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. Any of or all the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

Section 2. Lost Certificates . The Corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. The board of directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or such person’s legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 3. Transfers of Stock . Stock of the Corporation shall be transferable in the manner prescribed by law and in these bylaws. Shares of stock of the Corporation shall only be transferred on the books of the Corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the Corporation of the certificate or certificates representing such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons (or by delivery of duly executed instructions with respect to uncertificated shares), with such evidence

 

36


of the authenticity of such endorsement or execution, transfer, authorization and other matters as the Corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. No transfer of stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing the names of the persons from and to whom it was transferred.

Section 4. Registered Stockholders . The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 1. Third Party Actions . The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the

 

37


Corporation, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 6 of this Article VI, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify a director or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such director or officer only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the director or officer was authorized in the specific case by the board of directors of the Corporation. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

Section 2. Actions by or in Right of the Corporation . The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of

 

38


such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 6 of this Article VI, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify a director or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such director or officer only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the director or officer was authorized in the specific case by the board of directors of the Corporation.

Section 3. Successful Defense . To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VI or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

Section 4. Determination of Conduct . Any indemnification under Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VI (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the

 

39


applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 or this Article VI. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) by the holders of a majority of the stock entitled to vote thereon.

Section 5. Payment of Expenses in Advance . Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a person who may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 1 or 2 of this Article VI in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the board of directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VI.

Section 6. Claims . If a claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding) or advancement of expenses under this Article VI is not paid in full within thirty (30) days after a written claim therefor by the person entitled to indemnification hereunder has been received by the Corporation, such person may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that such person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

 

40


Section 7. Indemnity Not Exclusive . The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 8. Indemnification Contracts . The board of directors is authorized to cause the Corporation to enter into indemnification contracts with any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or any person serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, providing indemnification rights to such person. Such rights may be greater than those provided in this Article VI.

Section 9. Insurance . The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VI.

 

41


Section 10. Other Sources . The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or to advance expenses to any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

Section 11. The Corporation . For purposes of this Article VI, references to “ the Corporation ” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under and subject to the provisions of this Article VI (including, without limitation the provisions of Section 5) with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

Section 12. Employee Benefit Plans . For purposes of Article VI, references to “ other enterprises ” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “ fines ” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “ serving at the request of the Corporation ” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves service by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably

 

42


believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article VI.

Section 13. Effect of Amendment . Any amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article VI shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any right or protection conferred on a person pursuant to this Article VI and existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification.

ARTICLE VII

(a) “ Administrator ” shall mean the Board or the Committee responsible for conducting the general administration of the Plan in accordance with Article 12 of the Plan; provided that if the Participant is an Independent Director, “Administrator” shall mean the Board.

(b) “ Termination of Consultancy ” shall mean the time when the engagement of the Participant as a Consultant to the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for any reason, with or without cause, including, but not by way of limitation, by resignation, discharge, death or retirement, but excluding: (a) terminations where there is a simultaneous employment or continuing employment of the Participant by the Company or any Subsidiary and (b) terminations where there is a simultaneous re-establishment of a consulting relationship or continuing consulting relationship between the Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary. The Administrator, in its absolute discretion, shall determine the effect of all matters and questions relating to Termination of Consultancy, including, but not by way of limitation, the question of whether a particular leave of absence constitutes a Termination of Consultancy. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company or any Subsidiary has an absolute and unrestricted right to terminate a Consultant’s service at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in writing.

(c) “ Termination of Directorship ” shall mean the time when the Participant, if he or she is or becomes an Independent Director, ceases to be a Director for any reason, including, but not by way of limitation, a termination by resignation, failure to be elected, death or retirement.

2.3 Consideration to the Company . In consideration of the grant of the Option by the Company, the Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Subsidiary. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and the Participant.

ARTICLE III

PERIOD OF EXERCISABILITY

3.1 Commencement of Exercisability .

(a) Subject to Sections 3.2, 3.3, 5.10 and 5.12 hereof, the Option shall become vested and exercisable in such amounts and at such times as are set forth in the Grant Notice.

(b) No portion of the Option which has not become vested and exercisable at the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship or Termination of Consultancy shall thereafter become vested and exercisable, except as may be otherwise provided by the Administrator or as set forth in a written agreement between the Company and the Participant.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.1, pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Plan, if a Change in Control occurs and the Option is not converted, assumed, or replaced by a successor entity, then at least ten days prior to the Change in Control the Option shall become fully exercisable and all forfeiture restrictions on the Option and any Stock purchased upon exercise shall lapse. Upon, or in anticipation of, a Change in Control, the Committee may cause the Option to terminate at a specific time in the future, including but not limited to the date of such Change in Control, and shall give Participant the right to exercise the Option during a period of time as the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine.

3.2 Duration of Exercisability . The installments provided for in the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice are cumulative. Each such installment which becomes vested and exercisable pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice shall remain vested and exercisable until it becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof.

3.3 Expiration of Option . The Option may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following events:

(a) The Expiration Date set forth in the Grant Notice, which shall in no event be more than ten (10) years from the Grant Date;

(b) If this Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option and the Participant owned (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code), at the time the Option was granted, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any “subsidiary corporation” of the Company or any “parent corporation” of the Company (each within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code), the expiration of five (5) years from the Grant Date;

(c) The expiration of three (3) months from the date of the Participant’s Termination of Services, unless such termination occurs by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability; or

(d) The expiration of one (1) year from the date of the Participant’s Termination of Services by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability.

Notwithstanding anything in Sections 3.3(c) and (d) of this agreement to the contrary, in the event the vested portion of this Option is not exercisable on the date of Participant’s Termination of Service because shares of Stock cannot be issued pursuant to Section 4.5(a), (b) or (c) hereof, then the Participant shall be able to exercise this Option, to the extent vested, through the earlier of (i) the time period set forth in Section 3.3(a) hereof or (ii) the later of (X) the time period set forth in Section 3.3(c) or (d), as

 

A-3


applicable, or (Y) the end of the thirty-day period, or such other period of time as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, measured from the first date the Committee determines that shares of Stock can again be issued upon exercise of this Option in accordance with Sections 4.5(a), (b) and (c) hereof.

3.4 Special Tax Consequences . The Participant acknowledges that, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of all shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options, including the Option, are exercisable for the first time by the Participant in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the Option and such other options shall be Non-Qualified Stock Options to the extent necessary to comply with the limitations imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code. The Participant further acknowledges that the rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking the Option and other “incentive stock options” into account in the order in which they were granted, as determined under Section 422(d) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Participant also acknowledges that an Incentive Stock Option exercised more than three months after the Participant’s Termination of Employment, other than by reason of death or Disability, will be taxed as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

ARTICLE IV

EXERCISE OF OPTION

4.1 Person Eligible to Exercise . During the lifetime of the Participant, only the Participant may exercise the Option or any portion thereof. After the death of the Participant, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time when the Option becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof, be exercised by the Participant’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased the Participant’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.

5.17 Limitation on Participant’s Rights . Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided.

Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan and the Grant Notice. As used herein, the term “stock unit” shall mean a non-voting unit of measurement which is deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding share of the Company’s Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11 of the Plan) solely for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement.

(b) “ Termination of Consultancy ” shall mean the time when the engagement of Participant as a Consultant to the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for any reason, with or without cause, including, but not by way of limitation, by resignation, discharge, death or retirement, but excluding: (a) terminations where there is a simultaneous employment or continuing employment of Participant by the Company or any Subsidiary and (b) terminations where there is a simultaneous re-establishment of a consulting relationship or continuing consulting relationship between Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary.

ARTICLE II

GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

2.1 Grant of RSUs . In consideration of Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or a Subsidiary and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “ Grant Date ”), the Company grants to Participant an award of RSUs as set forth in the Grant Notice.

Unless and until the RSUs will have vested in the manner set forth in Article II hereof, Participant will have no right to payment of any such RSUs. Prior to actual payment of any vested RSUs, such RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.

2.3 Vesting Schedule . Subject to paragraph 2.4 hereof, the RSUs awarded by the Grant Notice will vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to the applicable portion thereof according to the vesting schedule set forth on the Grant Notice to which this Agreement is attached (the “ Vesting Schedule ”), subject to Participant’s continued employment or services through such dates, as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the RSU and the rights and benefits under this Agreement. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Partial employment or service, even if substantial, during any vesting period will not entitle the Participant to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services as provided in Section 2.4 below or under the Plan.

 

A-2


2.4 Forfeiture, Termination and Cancellation upon Termination of Services . Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, upon Participant’s Termination of Services for any or no reason, the then-unvested RSUs subject to this Agreement will thereupon be automatically forfeited, terminated and cancelled as of the applicable termination date without payment of any consideration by the Company, and Participant, or Participant’s beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be, shall have no further rights hereunder.

2.5 Payment after Vesting .

(a) As soon as administratively practicable, and, in any event, within sixty (60) days, following the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 3.2, the Company shall deliver to the Participant a number of shares of Stock (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this award that vest on the applicable vesting date, unless such Restricted Stock Units terminate prior to the given vesting date pursuant to Section 2.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event shares of Stock cannot be issued pursuant to Section 2.7(a), (b) or (c) hereof, then the shares of Stock shall be issued pursuant to the preceding sentence as soon as administratively practicable after the Committee determines that shares of Stock can again be issued in accordance with Sections 2.7(a), (b) and (c) hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to require payment by Participant of any sums required by applicable law to be withheld with respect to the grant of RSUs or the issuance of shares of Stock.

(1) Cash or check;

(2) Shares of Stock held for such period of time as may be required by the Company in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences and having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld by statute; or

The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any new certificate representing shares of Stock to Participant or Participant’s legal representative or enter such share of Stock in book entry form unless and until Participant or Participant’s legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of Participant resulting from the grant of the RSUs or the issuance of shares of Stock.

2.6 Rights as Stockholder . The holder of the RSUs shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, any dividend rights and voting rights, in respect of the RSUs and any shares of Stock underlying the RSUs and deliverable hereunder unless and until such shares of Stock shall have been actually issued by the Company and held of record by such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the shares of Stock are issued, except as provided in Section 11.1 of the Plan.

 

A-3


2.7 Conditions to Delivery of Stock . Subject to Section 2.5, the shares of Stock deliverable hereunder, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued shares of Stock or issued shares of Stock which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such shares of Stock shall be fully paid and nonassessable.

(c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable;

Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the RSUs, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, the RSUs and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 3.3 shall not prevent transfers by will or applicable laws of descent and distribution.

By a notice given pursuant to this Section 3.5, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.

3.6 Titles . Titles provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

3.7 Governing Law; Severability . The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.

3.8 Conformity to Securities Laws . Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the RSUs are granted, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

3.9 Amendments, Suspension and Termination . To the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Committee or the Board , provided, that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, no amendment, modification, suspension or termination of this Agreement shall adversely effect the RSUs in any material way without the prior written consent of the Participant.

3.10 Successors and Assigns . The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company.

A-5


3.11 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the RSUs and this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

3.12 Not a Contract of Employment . Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue to serve as an employee or other service provider of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

3.13 Entire Agreement . The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.

3.14 Section 409A . The RSUs are not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with any Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof, “ Section 409A ”). However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, if at any time the Committee determines that the RSUs (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Committee shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Participant or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan, this Agreement or the Grant Notice or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate either for the RSUs to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

3.15 Limitation on Participant’s Rights . Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to RSUs, as and when payable hereunder.

(a) Award . In consideration of the Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or a Subsidiary, and for other good and valuable consideration which the Committee has determined exceeds the aggregate par value of the Stock subject to the Award (as defined below), as of the Grant Date, the Company issues to the Participant the Award described in this Agreement (the “ Award ”).

At the sole discretion of the Committee, the Shares will be issued in either (i) uncertificated form, with the Shares recorded in the name of the Participant in the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent with appropriate notations regarding the restrictions on transfer imposed pursuant to this Agreement, and upon vesting and the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in Section 2.2(d) hereof, the Company shall cause certificates representing the Shares to be issued to the Participant; or (ii) certificate form pursuant to the terms of Sections 2.1(c) and (d) hereof.

Participant shall not retain physical custody of any certificates representing unvested Shares issued to him. The Participant, by acceptance of the Award, shall be deemed to appoint, and does so appoint the Company and each of its authorized representatives as the Participant’s attorney(s)-in-fact to effect any transfer of unvested forfeited Shares (or Shares otherwise reacquired by the Company hereunder) to the Company as may be required pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement and to execute such documents as the Company or such representatives deem necessary or advisable in connection with any such transfer.

(e) Delivery of Certificates Upon Vesting . As soon as administratively practicable after the vesting of any Shares subject to the Award pursuant to Section 2.2(b), the Company shall, as applicable, either remove the notations on any Shares subject to the Award issued in book entry form which have vested or deliver to the Participant a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of Shares subject to the Award which have vested (or, in either case, such lesser number of shares as may be permitted pursuant to Section 15.3 of the Plan). The Participant (or the beneficiary or personal representative of the Participant in the event of the Participant’s death or incapacity, as the case may be) shall deliver to the Company any representations or other documents or assurances required by the Company. The Shares so delivered shall no longer be subject to the Restrictions hereunder.

For purposes of this Agreement, “ Restrictions ” shall mean the restrictions on sale or other transfer set forth in Section 3.3 and the exposure to forfeiture set forth in this Section 2.2(a).

(b) Vesting and Lapse of Restrictions . Subject to Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(c) hereof, the Award shall vest and Restrictions shall lapse in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the Grant Notice.

(c) Acceleration of Vesting . Notwithstanding Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b) hereof, pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Plan, if a Change in Control occurs and the Award is not converted, assumed, or replaced by a successor entity, then at least ten days prior to the Change in Control, all forfeiture restrictions on the Award shall lapse.

(d) Tax Withholding . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 2.1(b) hereof), no new certificate shall be delivered to the Participant or his legal representative unless and until the Participant or his legal representative shall have paid to the Company the full amount of all federal and state withholding or other taxes applicable to the taxable income of Participant resulting from the grant of Shares or the lapse or removal of the Restrictions. Such payment shall be made by deduction from other compensation payable to Participant or in such other form of consideration acceptable to the Company which may, in the sole discretion of the Company, include:

(i) Cash or check;

(ii) Shares of Stock held for such period of time as may be required by the Company in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences and having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld by statute; or

(iii) Other property acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion (including, without limitation, through the delivery of a notice that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to shares of Stock for which the Restrictions are then subject to lapse,

 

A-3


and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of its withholding obligations; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale).

The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any new certificate representing Shares to Participant or Participant’s legal representative or enter such Share in book entry form unless and until Participant or Participant’s legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of Participant resulting from the grant of the Award or the issuance of Shares hereunder.

(e) Conditions to Delivery of Stock . Subject to Section 2.1, the Shares deliverable under this Award may be either previously authorized but unissued shares of Stock or issued shares of Stock which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares under this Award prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

(i) The admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which the Stock is then listed;

(ii) The completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable;

(iii) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable;

(iv) The receipt by the Company of full payment for such Shares, including payment of any applicable withholding tax; and

(v) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the grant of this Award as the Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.

2.3 Rights as Stockholder . The holder of the Award shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of any Shares unless and until such Shares shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 11.1 of the Plan.

The Company shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the Participant and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Participant any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to the grant or vesting of the Award or the lapse of the Restrictions hereunder. Participant understands that Section 83(a) of the Internal Revenue Code taxes as ordinary income the difference between the amount, if any, paid for the Shares and the Fair Market Value of such Shares at the time the Restrictions on such Shares lapse. Participant understands that, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Participant may elect to be taxed at the time of the Grant Date, rather that at the time the Restrictions lapse, by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code (an “ 83(b) Election ”) with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days of the Grant Date. In the event Participant files an 83(b) Election, Participant shall provide the Company a copy thereof prior to the expiration of such 30 day period. Participant understands that in the event an 83(b) Election is filed with the Internal Revenue Service within such time period, Participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the amount, if any, paid for the Shares and the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the Grant Date. Participant further understands that an additional copy of such 83(b) Election form should be filed with his or her federal income tax return for the calendar year in which the date of this Agreement falls. Participant acknowledges that the foregoing is only a summary of the effect of United States federal income taxation with respect to the Award hereunder, and does not purport to be complete. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FILING THE PARTICIPANT’S 83(b) ELECTION, AND THE COMPANY HAS DIRECTED PARTICIPANT TO SEEK INDEPENDENT ADVICE REGARDING THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, THE INCOME TAX LAWS OF ANY MUNICIPALITY, STATE OR FOREIGN COUNTRY IN WHICH PARTICIPANT MAY RESIDE, AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PARTICIPANT’S DEATH.

PARTICIPANT HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR FILING PARTICIPANT’S 83(b) ELECTION AND PAYING ANY TAXES RESULTING FROM SUCH ELECTION OR FROM FAILURE TO FILE THE ELECTION AND PAYING TAXES RESULTING FROM THE LAPSE OF THE RESTRICTIONS ON THE UNVESTED SHARES.

 

A-6


PARTICIPANT UNDERSTANDS THAT PARTICIPANT MAY SUFFER ADVERSE TAX CONSEQUENCES AS A RESULT OF PARTICIPANT’S PURCHASE OR DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES AND PARTICIPANT REPRESENTS THAT PARTICIPANT IS NOT RELYING ON THE COMPANY FOR ANY TAX ADVICE.

3.13 Not a Contract of Employment . Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue to serve as an employee or other service provider of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

3.14 Entire Agreement . The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.

3.15 Limitation on Participant’s Rights . Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Shares issuable hereunder.
