EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Registration of Additional Securities

 

The 2018 Plan originally included a quarterly evergreen provision that provided that the maximum number of shares which may be issued under the 2018 Plan shall automatically increase on the first day of each calendar quarter, beginning on April 1, 2018 and for each quarter thereafter through October 1, 2028, by a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the least of (i) 1,000,000 shares, (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, or (iii) such number of shares determined by the administrator of the 2018 Plan (the “Quarterly Increase”). On April 27, 2018, January 25, 2019 and April 19, 2019, the Registrant filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission Registration Statements on Form S-8, Registration Nos. 333-224506, 333-229374 and 333-230965, respectively (the “Prior Registration Statements”), relating to shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan. The Registrant is filing this Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register an additional 2,000,000 shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock under the 2018 Plan as a result of the Quarterly Increases that occurred on July 1, 2019 and October 1, 2019.

 

On October 31, 2019, the Quarterly Increase provision of the 2018 Plan was amended to provide that the maximum number of shares which may be issued under the 2018 Plan shall automatically increase on the first day of each calendar quarter, beginning on April 1, 2018 and for each quarter thereafter through October 1, 2028, by a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the least of (i) 1,500,000 Shares, (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, or (iii) such number of shares determined by the administrator of the 2018 Plan.

 

In accordance with Instruction E of Form S-8, the contents of the Prior Registration Statements are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement on Form S-8.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Registrant” refer collectively to Inpixon.

 

The Nevada Revised Statutes provide that we may indemnify our officers and directors against losses or liabilities which arise in their corporate capacity. The effect of these provisions could be to dissuade lawsuits against our officers and directors.

 

Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) provides that:

 

(1) A corporation may 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, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he 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, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if the person: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he 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 his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

(2) A corporation may 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 he 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 amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if the person: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

 

(3) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.

 

NRS 78.751 provides that:

 

(1) Any discretionary indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to NRS 78.751(2), may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made: (a) by the stockholders; (b) by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (c) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

 

(2) The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.

 

3

 

 

(3) The indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502 and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this section: (a) does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to NRS 78.7502 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to subsection 2, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action. A right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the articles of incorporation or any bylaw is not eliminated or impaired by an amendment to such provision after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after such action or omission has occurred; and (b) continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

Article X of our Bylaws, as amended, provides that every person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or a person of whom he is the legal representative is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant or for its benefit as a director or officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent permissible by the Nevada Revised Statutes from time to time against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by him in connection therewith, except any expense or payments incurred in connection with any claim or liability established to have arisen out of his own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

  (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
     
  (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
     
  (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement.

 

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if this Registration Statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Inpixon, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) filed on November 1, 2019, of an additional 2,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), issuable under the Company’s 2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).

 

For purposes of rendering this opinion, we have examined the Plan, the Registration Statement, the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Company, as amended or restated, the proceedings and other actions of the Company that provide for the issuance of the Shares, and such other documents and matters as we have deemed necessary for purposes of rendering this opinion. We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons who have executed documents examined by us, the genuineness of all signatures on all documents examined by us, the authority of such persons signing on behalf of the parties thereto other than the Company and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto other than the Company. In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have assumed that certificates evidencing the Shares will be signed by the authorized officers of the Company and registered by the transfer agent and registrar and will conform to the specimen certificate for the Common Stock. In addition, we have assumed that the resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors or its applicable committee authorizing the Company to issue and deliver the Shares will be in full force and effect at all times at which such Shares are issued and delivered by the Company, and that the Company will take no action inconsistent with such resolutions.

A participant employed by a Subsidiary shall also be deemed to incur a Termination of Employment if the Subsidiary ceases to be such a Subsidiary, and the participant does not immediately thereafter become an employee of the Company or another Subsidiary. Temporary absences from employment because of illness, vacation or leave of absence and transfers among the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be considered Terminations of Employment, provided however, if such participant’s leave exceeds three (3) months, and reemployment upon expiration of such leave is not guaranteed by statute or contract, then any Incentive Stock Option held by such participant shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option on the day three (3) months and one (1) day following the expiration of such three (3) month period. If so determined by the Committee, a participant shall be deemed not to have incurred a Termination of Employment if the participant enters into a contract with the Company or a Subsidiary providing for the rendering by the participant of consulting services to the Company or such Subsidiary on terms approved by the Committee; however, Termination of Employment of the participant shall occur when such contract ceases to be in effect.

In addition, certain other terms used herein have definitions given to them in the first place in which they are used.

STATEMENT OF THE PLAN

1. Shares Subject to the Plan.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8, the maximum number of shares which may be issued under the Plan shall be two million (2,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”), which shall automatically increase quarterly on the first day of each calendar quarter, beginning on April 1, 2018 and for each quarter thereafter through October 1, 2028, by a number of shares of common stock equal to the least of (i) 1,000,000 Shares, (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding Shares on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, or (iii) such number of Shares determined by the Committee. The Company shall at all times while the Plan is in effect reserve such number of shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of outstanding Awards granted under the Plan. The Shares subject to the Plan shall be either authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares of Common Stock. If any Award is forfeited, or if any Stock Option (and related Stock Appreciation Right, if any) terminates, expires or lapses for any reason without having been exercised in full or shall cease for any reason to be exercisable in whole or in part, or if any Stock Appreciation Right is exercised for cash, the unpurchased Shares subject to such Awards shall again be available for distribution under the Plan. No more than 2,000,000 Shares may be delivered in the aggregate pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, any Shares that become available for issuance under the Plan as a result of forfeited, terminated, expired or lapsed Stock Options as provided above in this Section 1. The limitations of this Section 1 shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8.

2. Eligibility.

Awards may be granted only to employees, salaried officers and other key persons employed or retained by the Company or its Subsidiaries, and any non-employee director, consultant, vendor or other individual having a business relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries to the extent not prohibited by law (“Eligible Persons”). As used in this Plan, the term “Subsidiaries” shall include Subsidiaries of a Subsidiary.

3. Administration of the Plan.

3.1. The Plan shall be administered by either the full Board of Directors or by a committee (either the full Board or the committee is referred to hereinafter as the “Committee”) composed of at least two non-employee directors, each of whom shall be a disinterested person, as defined by Rule 16b-3(c)(2)(i) under the Exchange Act, which Committee shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Board. Within the limits of the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority to determine, in its absolute discretion, (i) the individuals to whom, and the time or times at which Awards shall be granted, (ii) whether and to what extent Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units or any combination thereof are to be granted hereunder, (iii) the number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted hereunder, (iv) subject to Sections 4.7 and 6.3(G), the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder including, but not limited to, the option price, any vesting condition, restriction or limitation (which may be related to the performance of the participant, the Company or any Subsidiary), and any vesting, acceleration, forfeiture or waiver regarding any Award and the shares of Common Stock relating thereto, (v) modify, amend or adjust the terms and conditions of any Award, at any time or from time to time, including but not limited to, Performance Goals; provided, however, that the Committee may not adjust upwards the amount payable with respect to Qualified Performance-Based Awards or waive or alter the Performance Goals associated therewith or cause such Award to vest earlier than permitted by Section 6.3(G); (vi) to what extent and under what circumstances Common Stock and other amounts payable with respect to an Award shall be deferred; and (vii) under what circumstances an Award may be settled in cash or Common Stock under Sections 6.3(B) and 10, provided, however, that the Committee shall not have such power to the extent that the mere possession (as opposed to the exercise) of such power would result in adverse tax consequences to any participant under Code Section 409A. In making such determinations, the Committee may take into account such factors as the Committee, in its absolute discretion, shall deem relevant. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall also have the authority to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to it, to determine the terms and provisions of the respective option instruments or agreements (which need not be identical) and to make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee’s determinations on the matters referred to in this Section 3.1 shall be conclusive. Any determination by a majority of the members of the Committee shall be deemed to have been made by the whole Committee.

3.2. Each member of the Committee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) reasonably incurred by such member, or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Company) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan unless arising out of such member’s own fraud or bad faith, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Such indemnification shall be in addition to any rights of indemnification the members may have as directors or otherwise under the By-laws of the Company, any agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

4. Stock Options.

Stock Options may be granted alone or in addition to other Awards. Stock Options granted hereunder may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options. Any Stock Option granted hereunder shall be in such form as the Committee may from time to time approve. Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem desirable:

4.1. Stock Option Exercise Price. Subject to adjustments in accordance with Sections 8 and 9, the exercise price of each Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be set forth in the applicable Option Agreement, but in no event shall such price be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Stock Option on the date the Stock Option is granted. The exercise price for Incentive Stock Options shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock at the time the Stock Option is granted, nor less than 110% of such Fair Market Value in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an individual who, at the time the option is granted, is a 10% Holder. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined in good faith by the Committee, with the approval of the Board, in accordance with the Plan and in accordance with the requirements of Code Sections 409A and 422.

4.2. Maximum Stock Option Grant. With respect to Stock Options which are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Stock Option is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted to any participant (whether under this Plan or under any other stock option plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries) become exercisable for the first time in any calendar year, may not exceed $150,000. The number of Shares for which any participant, in any calendar year, may be granted Stock Options under the Plan not treated as Incentive Stock Options shall be limited to not more than 150,000. Notwithstanding the forgoing, nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prohibit the grant of Stock Options under the Plan to an Eligible Person by reason of such person holding Stock Options to purchase shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company granted otherwise than under the Plan.

4.3. Exercise of Stock Options.

4.3.1. Subject to the provisions in this Section 4.3 and in Section 10, Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part. The Committee, in its absolute discretion, shall determine the time or times at which any Stock Option granted under the Plan may be exercised; provided, however, that each Stock Option:

(A) shall be exercisable by a participant only if such participant was an Eligible Person (and in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, was an employee or salaried officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) at all times beginning from the date of the grant of the Incentive Stock Option to a date not more than three months (except as otherwise provided in Section 9) before exercise of such Stock Option;

(B) may not be exercised prior to the expiration of at least six months from the date of grant except in the case of the death or disability of the participant or otherwise with the approval of the Committee or the Board of Directors or, if the option agreement evidencing such Stock Option so provides, upon a “Change of Control” as defined below;

(C) shall expire no later than the expiration of ten years (five years in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a 10% Holder) from the date of its grant; and

(D) shall not be exercisable by a participant until such participant executes and delivers a written representation to the effect that such participant is acquiring the Common Stock for investment and not with the intent of distributing the same (unless such Common Stock shall be appropriately registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or exempt from registration thereunder).

 

6 

 

 

A “Change of Control” as used in this Section 4.3 shall mean any of the following:

(i) any consolidation, merger or sale of the Company in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of the Company’s stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property; or

(ii) the stockholders of the Company approve an agreement for the sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

(iii) any approval by the stockholders of the Company of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

(iv) the acquisition of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act of an aggregate of 30% or more of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding voting securities by any single person or group (as such term is used in Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), unless such acquisition was approved by the Board of Directors prior to the consummation thereof); or

(v) the appointment of a trustee in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding involving the Company or the conversion of such a proceeding into a case under Chapter 7.

As a condition of the grant of a Stock Option, the Committee, in its absolute discretion, may require an Eligible Person to enter into an employment agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company covering a period of at least one year following the grant, and if the grant specifically requires, compliance with all terms and conditions of any such employment agreement shall be a condition to the exercise by the participant of such participant’s Stock Option (provided, however, that such compliance may be waived by the Committee in its absolute discretion).

4.3.2. Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be exercised by the delivery by the holder thereof to the Company at its principal offices (to the attention of the Secretary) of written notice of the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Option is being exercised, accompanied by payment in full of the Stock Option exercise price of such Shares. The exercise price shall be payable in cash by a certified or bank check or such other instrument as the Company may accept; provided, however, that in lieu of payment in cash, a participant may, with the approval of the Company’s Board and on the recommendation of the Committee, pay for all or part of the Shares to be purchased upon exercise of such participant’s Stock Option by:

(A) tendering to the Company shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by such participant and having a Fair Market Value (as determined pursuant to Section 4.1) equal to the exercise price (or the balance thereof) applicable to such participant’s Stock Option; or

(B) complying with any exercise and sell (or cashless exercise) program which the Company has established with a broker-dealer.

4.3.3. The holder of an option shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares covered by such holder’s option until such Shares shall be issued to such holder upon the exercise of such holder’s option.

7 

 

 

4.4. Termination of Service. In the event that the service of an individual to whom a Stock Option has been granted under the Plan shall terminate (otherwise than by reason of such individual’s death or total disability, or for cause), such option may be exercised (if and to the extent that such individual was entitled to do so at the date of termination of such individual’s service) at any time within three months after such termination, but in no event after the expiration of the term of the option. No option granted under the Plan may be exercised by a participant following termination of such participant’s employment for cause. “Termination for cause” shall mean dismissal for dishonesty, conviction or confession of a crime punishable by law (except minor violations), fraud, misconduct or disclosure of confidential information. If the service of an individual to whom a Stock Option has been granted under the Plan shall be suspended pending an investigation of whether or not the individual shall be terminated for cause, all of the individuals rights under any option granted hereunder likewise shall be suspended during the period of investigation.

4.5. Death or Total Disability of a Stock Option Holder. In the event of the death or total disability of an individual to whom a Stock Option has been granted under the Plan (i) while serving as an Eligible Person; or (ii) within three months after the termination of such service, other than for cause, such option may be exercised (if and to the extent that the deceased individual was entitled to do so at the date of such individual’s death or total disability) by a legatee or legatees of such participant under such individual’s last will and testament or by such individual’s personal representatives or distributees, at any time within twelve months after such individual’s death or total disability, but in no event after the expiration of the term of the option.

As used in this Plan, the term “total disability” refers to a mental or physical impairment of the individual which has lasted or is expected to last for a continuous period of twelve months or more and which causes the individual to be unable, in the opinion of the Company and two (if more than one is required by the Company in its sole discretion) independent physicians, to perform such individual’s duties for the Company and to be engaged in any substantial gainful activity. Total disability shall be deemed to have occurred on the first day after the Company and the two (if more than one is required by the Company in its sole discretion) independent physicians have furnished their opinion of total disability to the Committee.

4.6. Non-transferability of Stock Options. A Stock Option shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and is exercisable during the lifetime of the Eligible Person only by such Eligible Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have discretionary authority to grant Stock Options which will be transferable to members of a participant’s immediate family, including trusts for the benefit of such family members and partnerships in which such family members are the only partners. A transferred option would be subject to all of the same terms and conditions as if such option had not been transferred. Upon any attempt to transfer a Stock Option granted under this Plan otherwise than as permitted hereunder, or upon the levy of attachment or similar process upon such option, such option shall automatically become null and void and of no further force and effect.

4.7. Evidence of Stock Option Grant. Each option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an agreement (the “Option Agreement”) which shall clearly identify the status of the Stock Options granted thereunder (i.e., whether an Incentive Stock Option or Non-Qualified Stock Option). The Option Agreement shall comply in all respects with the terms and conditions of the Plan and may contain such additional provisions, including, without limitation, restrictions upon the exercise of the option, as the Committee shall deem advisable.

8 

 

 

4.8. Deferral of Stock Option Shares. The Committee may from time to time establish procedures pursuant to which a participant may elect to defer, until a time or times later than the exercise of a Stock Option, receipt of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Option and/or to receive cash at such later time or times in lieu of such deferred shares, all on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. If any such deferrals are permitted, then notwithstanding Sections 4.3.1 and 4.3.2. above, a participant who elects such deferral shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to such deferred shares unless and until shares are actually delivered to the participant with respect thereto, except to the extent otherwise determined by the Committee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will any deferral of the delivery of shares of Common Stock or any other payment with respect to any Award be allowed if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the deferral would result in the imposition of additional tax under Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B).

5. Stock Appreciation Rights

5.1. Grant and Exercise. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in conjunction with all or part of any Stock Option granted under the Plan. In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, such rights may be granted either at or after the time of grant of such Stock Option. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such rights may be granted only at the time of grant of such Stock Option. A Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Stock Option.

A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by a participant in accordance with Section 5.2 by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Stock Option in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. Upon such exercise and surrender, the participant shall be entitled to receive an amount determined in the manner prescribed in Section 5.2. Stock Options which have been so surrendered shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related Stock Appreciation Rights have been exercised.

5.2. Terms and Conditions. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee, including the following:

(A) Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Stock Options to which they relate are exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 and this Section 5.

(B) Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a participant shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash, shares of Common Stock or both, in value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock over the option price per share specified in the related Stock Option multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, with the Committee having the right to determine the form of payment.

(C) Stock Appreciation Rights shall be transferable only to permitted transferees of the underlying Stock Option in accordance with Section 4.6.

(D) Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Stock Option or part thereof to which such Stock Appreciation Right is related shall be deemed to have been exercised for the purpose of the limitation set forth in Section 1 on the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Plan, but only to the extent of the number of shares covered by the Stock Appreciation Right at the time of exercise based on the value of the Stock Appreciation Right at such time.

 

9 

 

 

6. Restricted Stock

6.1. Administration. Shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the Eligible Persons to whom and the time or times at which grants of Restricted Stock will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded to any Eligible Person, the conditions for vesting, the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture and any other terms and conditions of the Awards, in addition to those contained in Section 6.3.

6.2. Awards and Certificates. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including book-entry registration or issuance of one or more stock certificates. Any certificate issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of such Eligible Person and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Award, substantially in the following form:

“The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of the Inpixon Employee Stock Incentive Plan and a Restricted Stock Agreement. Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file at the offices of Inpixon, 2479 E. Bayshore Road, Suite 195, Palo Alto, CA 94303.”

The Committee may require that the certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and that, as a condition of any Award of Restricted Stock, the participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Common Stock covered by such Award.

6.3. Terms and Conditions. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(A) The Committee may, prior to or at the time of grant, designate an Award of Restricted Stock as a Qualified Performance-Based Award, in which event it shall condition the grant or vesting, as applicable, of such Restricted Stock upon the attainment of Performance Goals. If the Committee does not designate an Award of Restricted Stock as a Qualified Performance-Based Award, it may also condition the grant or vesting thereof upon the attainment of Performance Goals. Regardless of whether an Award of Restricted Stock is a Qualified Performance-Based Award, the Committee may also condition the grant or vesting thereof upon the continued service of the participant. The conditions for grant or vesting and the other provisions of Restricted Stock Awards (including without limitation any applicable Performance Goals) need not be the same with respect to each recipient. The Committee may at any time, in its sole discretion, accelerate or waive, in whole or in part, any of the foregoing restrictions; provided, however, that in the case of Restricted Stock that is a Qualified Performance-Based Award, the applicable Performance Goals have been satisfied and further, provided, however, that the Committee shall not have such power to the extent that the mere possession (as opposed to the exercise) of such power would result in adverse tax consequences to any participant under Code Section 409A.

(B) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Restricted Stock Agreement referred to in Section 6.3(G), during the period, if any, set by the Committee, commencing with the date of such Award for which such participant’s continued service is required (the “Restriction Period”), and until the later of (i) the expiration of the Restriction Period and (ii) the date the applicable Performance Goals (if any) are satisfied, the participant shall not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber shares of Restricted Stock.

(C) Except as provided in this Section 6.3(C) and Sections 6.3(A) and 6.3(B) and the Restricted Stock Agreement, the participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding the class or series of Common Stock that is the subject of the Restricted Stock, including, if applicable, the right to vote the shares and the right to receive any dividends. If so determined by the Committee in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement, (i) cash dividends on the class or series of Common Stock that is the subject of the Restricted Stock Award shall be automatically deferred and reinvested in additional Restricted Stock, held subject to the vesting of the underlying Restricted Stock, or held subject to meeting Performance Goals applicable only to dividends; and (ii) dividends payable in Common Stock shall be paid in the form of Restricted Stock of the same class as the Common Stock with which such dividend was paid, held subject to the vesting of the underlying Restricted Stock, or held subject to meeting Performance Goals applicable only to dividends.

(D) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement or Sections 6.3(A), 6.3(B), 6.3(E) or 9.1(D), upon a participant’s Termination of Employment for any reason during the Restriction Period or before the applicable Performance Goals are satisfied, all shares still subject to restriction shall be forfeited by the participant.

(E) Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 9.1(D), in the event that a participant retires or such participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated, the Committee shall have the discretion to waive, in whole or in part, any or all remaining restrictions (other than, in the case of Restricted Stock with respect to which a participant is a Covered Employee, satisfaction of the applicable Performance Goals unless the Participant’s employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability) with respect to any or all of such participant’s shares of Restricted Stock.

(F) If and when any applicable Performance Goals are satisfied and the Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Stock, unlegended certificates for such shares shall be delivered to the participant upon surrender of the legended certificates.

(G) Each Award shall be confirmed by, and be subject to, the terms of a Restricted Stock Agreement.

7. Restricted Stock Units.

7.1. Administration. Restricted Stock Units may be awarded either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the Eligible Persons to whom and the time or times at which grants of Restricted Stock Units will be awarded and the number of Shares that may be settled in cash, or by issuance of those Shares (which may consist of Restricted Stock). All Restricted Stock Units shall be made pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (an “RSU Agreement”).

7.2. Terms of Restricted Stock Units. The Committee will determine the terms of a Restricted Stock Unit including, without limitation: (a) the number of Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Unit; (b) the time or times during which the Restricted Stock Unit may be settled; (c) the consideration to be distributed on settlement; and (d) the effect of the participant’s Termination of Employment on each Restricted Stock Unit. A Restricted Stock Unit may be awarded upon satisfaction of such performance goals based on Performance Goals during any period of service determined by the Committee, during which years of service or performance is to be measured for the Award (the “Performance Period”) as are set out in advance in the participant’s RSU Agreement. If the Restricted Stock Unit is being earned upon satisfaction of Performance Goals, then the Committee will: (x) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period for the Restricted Stock Unit; (y) select from among the Performance Goals to be used to measure the performance, if any; and (z) determine the number of Shares deemed subject to the Restricted Stock Unit. Performance Periods may overlap and participants may participate simultaneously with respect to Restricted Stock Units that are subject to different Performance Periods and different performance goals and other criteria.

7.3. Form and Timing of Settlement. Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units shall be made as soon as practicable after the date(s) determined by the Committee and set forth in the RSU Agreement. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may settle earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination of both. The Committee may also permit a Participant to defer payment under a Restricted Stock Unit to a date or dates after the Restricted Stock Unit is earned provided that the terms of the Restricted Stock Unit and any deferral satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

7.4. Termination. Except as may be set forth in the participant’s RSU Agreement, vesting ceases on such participant’s date of Termination of Employment (unless determined otherwise by the Committee).

8. Adjustments Upon Change in Capitalization.

In the event of changes in the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations or liquidations, the number and class of shares available under the Plan, the number and class of Shares or the amount of cash or other assets or securities available upon the exercise of any Award granted hereunder and the number of Shares to be issued pursuant to an Award shall be correspondingly adjusted, to the end that the participant’s proportionate interest in the Company, any successor thereto or in the cash, assets or other securities into which Shares are converted or exchanged shall be maintained to the same extent, as near as may be practicable, as immediately before the occurrence of any such event. All references in this Plan to “Common Stock” from and after the occurrence of such event shall be deemed for all purposes of this Plan to refer to such other class of shares or securities issuable upon the exercise or payment of Awards granted pursuant hereto.

9. Material Transaction, Liquidation or Dissolution of the Company.

9.1. In the event of a reorganization, merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another person or entity (each a “Material Transaction”), unless otherwise provided in the applicable agreement for an Award, the Committee shall:

(A) provide for the assumption of outstanding Awards, or the substitution of outstanding Awards for new Awards, for equity securities of the surviving, successor or purchasing corporation, or a parent or Subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number, kind, vesting and prices of Shares subject to such Awards, as determined in good faith by the Board in its sole discretion, or

(B) provide that the vesting of each outstanding Award shall automatically be accelerated, if applicable, so that 100% of the unvested Shares covered by such Award shall be fully vested upon the consummation of the Material Transaction, and

(i) provide notice to Participants that all outstanding Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Restricted Stock Units must be exercised on or before a specified date (which date shall be at least ten days from the date of notice), after which the Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Restricted Stock Units shall terminate; or

(ii) terminate each outstanding Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Restricted Stock Unit in its entirety and exchange such Award for a payment of cash, securities and/or property equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock into which such Award convertible, less the exercise price for such Award.

(C) provide that the restrictions and deferral limitations applicable to any Restricted Stock shall lapse, and such Restricted Stock shall become free of all restrictions and become fully vested and transferable, and

(D) the Committee may also make additional adjustments and/or settlements of outstanding Awards as it deems appropriate and consistent with the Plan’s purposes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of Sections 9.1(A), 9.1(B), 9.1(C) and 9.1(D), the Committee shall not have any of the foregoing powers to the extent that the mere possession (as opposed to the exercise) of such power would result in adverse tax consequences to any participant under Code Section 409A.

9.2. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation the Company, whether voluntary or otherwise, that is not a Material Transaction, all outstanding unexercised Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights must be exercised, if at all, within the ninety day period commencing on the date specified in Section 9.3 below. All such Awards which become exercisable during the ninety day period commencing on the date specified in Section 9.3 below, shall terminate at the end of such ninety day period to the extent not exercised prior thereto.

11 

 

 

9.3. The date specified in this Section 9.3 is the date of the earliest to occur of the following events:

(i) the entry, in a court having jurisdiction, of an order that the Company be liquidated or dissolved;

(ii) adoption by the stockholders of the Company of a resolution resolving that the Company be liquidated or dissolved voluntarily; or

(iii) adoption by the stockholders of the Company of a resolution to the effect that the Company cannot, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business and that it is advisable to liquidate or dissolve the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event may any option granted hereunder be exercised after the expiration of the term of such option.

10. Further Conditions.

Each Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Committee shall determine, in its absolute discretion, that it is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with the grant and/or issuance of Award or the exercise thereof, to effect or obtain, as the case may be:

(i) the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares subject to such Award upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law;

(ii) the consent or approval of any governmental body;

(iii) any investment representation or agreement by the individual desiring to be issued or to exercise an Award granted under the Plan; or

(iv) an opinion of counsel for the Company,

then, no Award may be issued or exercised, as the case may be, in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval, investment or representation agreement or opinion shall have been effected or obtained, as the case may be, free of any condition not acceptable to the Board or the Committee.

11. Exchange and Buyout of Awards.

11.1. The Committee may, at any time or from time to time, authorize the Company, with the consent of the respective participants, to issue new Awards in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of any or all outstanding Awards.

11.2. The Committee may, at any time or from time to time, authorize the Company to buy from a participant an Award previously granted with payment in cash, Shares (including Restricted Stock) or other consideration, based on such terms and conditions as the Committee and the participant may agree.

12. Termination, Modification and Amendment.

12.1. The Plan (but not Awards previously granted under the Plan) shall terminate on January 4, 2028, and no Awards shall be granted after, the tenth anniversary of its adoption by the Board; provided that the Board may at any time terminate the Plan prior thereto upon the adoption of a resolution of the Board.

12.2. The Board shall have complete power and authority to modify or amend the Plan in whole or in part and from time to time in such respects as it shall deem advisable; provided, however, that the Board shall not, without the approval of the votes represented by a majority of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company present or represented and entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders duly held in accordance with the applicable laws of the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation or by the written consent of stockholders owning stock representing a majority of the votes of the Company’s outstanding stock entitled to vote:

(i) increase the number of Shares available for the grant of Awards under Section 1 of the Plan (except as provided in Section 8);

(ii) extend the term of the Plan or the period during which Awards may be granted or exercised;

(iii) reduce the Stock Option price of an outstanding Stock Option;

(iv) alter the maximum number of Shares available for the grant of Awards in the form of Incentive Stock Options and Restricted Stock;

12 

 

 

(v) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan;

(vi) modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan;

(vii) modify the nature of the Awards which may be granted under the Plan;

(viii) with respect to Stock Options which are Incentive Stock Options, amend the Plan in any respect which would cause such Stock Options to no longer qualify for Incentive Stock Option treatment pursuant to the Code; and

(ix) alter the provisions set forth in Section 6.3(H) with respect to minimum vesting schedules relating to Awards in the form of Restricted Stock.

No termination or amendment of the Plan shall, without the consent of the individual participant, adversely affect the rights of such participant under an Award theretofore granted to such participant.

13. Taxes.

The Company may make such provisions as it may deem appropriate for the withholding of any taxes which it determines is required in connection with any Awards granted under the Plan. The Company may further require notification from the participants upon any disposition of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Awards granted hereunder.

14. Effectiveness Of The Plan.

The Plan shall become effective immediately upon its approval and adoption by the Board, subject to approval by a majority of the votes of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the stockholders of the Company cast at any duly called annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders held within one year from the date of Board adoption and approval.

15. Designation of Beneficiary by Participant.

A participant may designate one or more beneficiaries to receive any rights and payments to which such participant may be entitled in respect of any option granted under the Plan in the event of such participant’s death. Such designation shall be on a written form acceptable to and filed with the Committee. The Committee shall have the right to review and approve beneficiary designations. A participant may change the participant’s beneficiary(ies) from time to time in the same manner as the original designation, unless such participant has made an irrevocable designation. Any designation of beneficiary under the Plan (to the extent it is valid and enforceable under applicable law) shall be controlling over any other disposition, testamentary or otherwise, as determined by the Committee. If no designated beneficiary survives the participant and is living on the date on which any right or amount becomes payable to such participant’s beneficiary(ies), such payment will be made to the legal representatives of the participant’s estate, and the term “beneficiary” as used in the Plan shall be deemed to include such person or persons. If there is any question as to the legal right of any beneficiary to receive a distribution under the Plan, the Committee may determine that the amount in question be paid to the legal representatives of the estate of the participant, in which event the Company, the Committee, the Board and the Committee and the members thereof will have no further liability to any person or entity with respect to such amount.

13 

 

16. Certificates.

All Shares delivered under this Plan will be subject to such stock transfer orders, legends and other restrictions as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable, including restrictions under any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law, or any rules, regulations and other requirements promulgated under such laws or any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may be listed or quoted and each stock certificate evidencing such Shares and other certificates shall have the appropriately legend.

17. Securities Law and Other Regulatory Compliance.

17.1. The issuance of Awards under the Plan will not be effective unless such issuance is made in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations of any governmental body, and the requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may then be listed or quoted, as they are in effect on the date of issuance/grant and also on the date of exercise or other issuance. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, the Company will have no obligation to issue or deliver stock certificates for Shares under this Plan prior to:

(i) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Committee determines are necessary or advisable; and/or

(ii) completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law or ruling of any governmental body that the Committee determines to be necessary or advisable.

17.2. The Company will be under no obligation to register the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to effect compliance with the registration, qualification or listing requirements of any state securities laws, stock exchange or automated quotation system, and the Company will have no liability for any inability or failure to do so.

18. No Obligation to Employ.

The Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment and nothing in this Plan shall confer or be deemed to confer on any participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to terminate the participant’s employment or other relationship at any time, with or without cause.

19. Non-exclusivity of the Plan.

Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board, the submission of the Plan to the shareholders of the Company for approval, nor any provision of this Plan will be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such additional compensation arrangements as the Board may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of Stock Options otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

20. Miscellaneous Provisions.

20.2. No Shares, other Company securities or property, other securities or property, or other forms of payment shall be issued hereunder with respect to any option granted under the Plan unless counsel for the Company shall be satisfied that such issuance will be in compliance with applicable federal, state, local and foreign legal, securities exchange and other applicable requirements.

20.3. It is the intent of the Company that if the Company’s securities are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission the Plan comply in all respects with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, that any ambiguities or inconsistencies in construction of the Plan be interpreted to give effect to such intention and that if any provision of the Plan is found not to be in compliance with Rule 16b-3, such provision shall be deemed null and void to the extent required to permit the Plan to comply with Rule 16b-3.

20.4. The appropriate officers of the Company shall cause to be filed any reports, returns or other information regarding the grant of Stock Options hereunder or any Shares issued pursuant hereto as may be required by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (or any successor provision) or any other applicable statute, rule or regulation.

20.5. The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of the Plan, and of its rules and regulations, and rights relating to the Plan and Awards granted under the Plan and any agreements in connection therewith, shall be governed by the substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the State of Nevada.

WHEREAS, Section 12.2 of the Plan provides that the Board may modify or amend the Plan in whole or in part and from time to time in such respects as it deems advisable;

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to further amend the Plan as set forth below;

WHEREAS, the Board approved this Amendment on October 5, 2018; and

WHEREAS, the stockholders of the Company approved this Amendment on October 31, 2018.

NOW THEREFORE, the Plan is amended as follows:

  1. Section 1. Section 1 is hereby amended and restated with the following:

Shares Subject to the Plan.

Subject to an adjustment in accordance with Section 8, the maximum number of shares which may be issued under the Plan shall be two million (2,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Initial Limit”), of the Company (the “Shares”), which shall automatically increase on the first day of each calendar quarter, beginning on April 1, 2018 and for each quarter thereafter through October 1, 2028, by a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the least of (i) 1,000,000 Shares, (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding Shares on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, or (iii) such number of Shares determined by the Committee (the “Quarterly Increase”). The Company shall at all times while the Plan is in effect reserve such number of shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of outstanding Awards granted under the Plan. The Shares subject to the Plan shall be either authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares of Common Stock. If any Award is forfeited, or if any Stock Option (and related Stock Appreciation Right, if any) terminates, expires or lapses for any reason without having been exercised in full or shall cease for any reason to be exercisable in whole or in part, or if any Stock Appreciation Right is exercised for cash, the unpurchased Shares subject to such Awards shall again be available for distribution under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitations, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed the Initial Limit cumulatively increased on April 1, 2018 and on the first day of each quarter thereafter by the Quarterly Increase.

17 

 

  2. Section 4.2. Section 4.2 is hereby amended and restated with the following:

“Maximum Stock Option Grant. With respect to Stock Options which are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Stock Option is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted to any participant (whether under this Plan or under any other stock option plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries) become exercisable for the first time in any calendar year, may not exceed $100,000. The number of Shares for which any participant, in any calendar year, may be granted Stock Options under the Plan not treated as Incentive Stock Options shall be limited to not more than 150,000. Notwithstanding the forgoing, nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prohibit the grant of Stock Options under the Plan to an Eligible Person by reason of such person holding Stock Options to purchase shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company granted otherwise than under the Plan.

  3. Section 8. Section 8 is hereby amended and restated with the following:

Adjustments Upon Change in Capitalization.

For example, if the Company effects a reverse stock split of its outstanding Common Stock, the the number of Shares available upon the exercise of any Award shall be adjusted; however, the maximum number of Shares available under the Plan shall not be correspondingly adjusted. All references in this Plan to “Common Stock” from and after the occurrence of such event shall be deemed for all purposes of this Plan to refer to such other class of shares or securities issuable upon the exercise or payment of Awards granted pursuant hereto.

In all other respects, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall remain the same.
