Item 4. Description of Securities.
     Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
     Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) allows for the indemnification of officers, directors and other corporate agents in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act. Article XII of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Article VI of the Company’s bylaws authorize indemnification of the Company’s directors, officers, employees and other agents to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by the DGCL.
     The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain officers that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by law. The Company maintains liability insurance for the benefit of its officers and directors.
     The above discussion of the DGCL and of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, bylaws, and indemnification agreements is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by such statute, amended and restated certificate of incorporation, bylaws and indemnification agreements.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
     Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
     See the attached Exhibit Index at page 7, which is incorporated herein by reference.
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;
 
  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) of this Section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports


Table of Contents

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 this 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.
 
  h.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, executive officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 above, 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 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.

               (g) The Committee may grant at any time new Incentive Stock Options to an Employee who has previously received Incentive Stock Options or other Stock Options, whether such prior Incentive Stock Options or other Stock Options are then outstanding, have previously been exercised in whole or in part or are canceled in connection with the issuance of new Incentive Stock Options.

Such Incentive Stock Options must be exercised within 30 days following such termination of employment (but in no event after expiration of the Option Period) or they shall be forfeited.
               (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraph (a) above, if a Grantee’s employment with the Company or Affiliate is terminated by the Company or Affiliate for Cause, all then outstanding Incentive Stock Options held by the Grantee shall expire immediately and such Incentive Stock Options shall not be exercisable after the termination of the Grantee’s employment.

6


 

Grantee which were immediately exercisable at the date of the Grantee’s death or Disability, as applicable, shall be exercisable by the Grantee, the representative of the Grantee’s estate or the Grantee’s beneficiaries to whom the Incentive Stock Options have been transferred.

               (d) If, within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of a Change of Control, the purchaser/surviving entity involved therein does not offer any Grantee employment on substantially comparable terms (including, but not limited to, cash and equity compensation and benefits) to those such Grantee had in connection with the Grantee’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control, unless otherwise provided in Grantee’s Incentive Stock Option Agreement, vesting under this Section 3(d) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board.
          4. Failure to Satisfy ISO Requirements. Any Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee under the Plan which does not satisfy the applicable requirements of Section 422 of the Code shall thereupon automatically, to the extent of such failure, be deemed to be a Non-Qualified Stock Option for all purposes of the Plan.

          2. Exercise of Non-Qualified Stock Options. The purchase price of Stock subject to a Non-Qualified Stock Option shall be payable upon its exercise in cash or by certified check, bank draft or postal or express money order.

Such Non-Qualified Stock Options must be exercised within 30 days following such termination of employment (but in no event after expiration of the Option Period) or they shall be forfeited.
               (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraph (a) above, if the employment with the Company or an Affiliate of a Grantee who is an Employee is terminated by the Company or Affiliate for Cause, all then outstanding Non-Qualified Stock Options held by the Grantee shall expire immediately and such Non-Qualified Stock Options shall not be exercisable after the termination of the Grantee’s employment.
               (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, if the employment with the Company or an Affiliate of a Grantee who is an Employee is terminated on account of the Grantee’s death or Disability, only those Stock Options held by the Grantee which were immediately exercisable at the date of the Grantee’s death or Disability, as applicable, shall be exercisable by the Grantee, the representative of the Grantee’s estate or the Grantee’s beneficiaries to whom the Non-Qualified Stock Options have been transferred.

8


 

engagement as a Consultant shall terminate for Cause, all then outstanding Non-Qualified Stock Options held by the Grantee shall expire immediately and such Non-Qualified Stock Options shall not be exercisable after the termination of the Grantee’s status as a Director or engagement as a Consultant.
               (e) Solely with respect to a Grantee who is an Employee, if, within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of a Change of Control, the purchaser/surviving entity involved therein does not offer such Grantee employment on substantially comparable terms (including, but not limited to, cash and equity compensation and benefits) to those such Grantee had in connection with the Grantee’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control, unless otherwise provided in Grantee’s Stock Option Agreement, vesting under this Section 3(e) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board.
IV. SPECIAL RULES.
          1. Right of First Refusal. Solely during such time that the Stock is not publicly traded, no Grantee (or beneficiary of a Grantee including but not limited to the Grantee’s estate) may sell or otherwise transfer (except for inter vivos transfers to Family Members pursuant to paragraph 2(d) of Section V) any Stock obtained thereby pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option hereunder without first (a) providing the Company with a written offer to sell the Stock to the Company on the same terms as were offered to the Grantee (or the Grantee’s beneficiary) by a third party (a copy of which third party offer shall be attached to the Grantee’s or beneficiary’s offer to sell such Stock to the Company) for a sales price equal to that stated in the third party’s purchase offer, and (b) waiting 60 days from the date of the Company’s receipt of such offer. If the Company shall accept the Grantee’s or beneficiary’s offer in writing within said 60-day period, the Grantee or beneficiary and the Company shall promptly effect such transaction. If the Company does not provide a written acceptance of the Grantee’s or beneficiary’s offer within said 60 day period, the Grantee or beneficiary shall be entitled to accept such third party’s offer and effect such transaction.
          2. Call Option. Solely during such time that the Stock is not publicly traded, upon the termination of (a) an Employee’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate, (b) a Director’s membership on the Board or on the board of directors of an Affiliate or (c) a Consultant’s consulting or advisory engagement by the Company or Affiliate, the Company shall have the right to purchase from such individual or from such individual’s estate, for a period of 30 days following the date of such termination, any Stock obtained thereby pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option hereunder for a purchase price equal to the exercise price paid by the Employee, Director or Consultant, as the case may be, in connection with such Stock Option.
V. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
          1. Recapitalization Adjustments.
               (a) In the event of any change in capitalization affecting the Stock, including, without limitation, a stock dividend or other distribution, stock split, reverse stock

9


 

split, recapitalization, consolidation, subdivision, split-up, spin-off, split-off, combination or exchange of shares or other form of reorganization or recapitalization, or any other change affecting the Stock, the Board shall authorize and make such proportionate adjustments, if any, as the Board shall deem appropriate to reflect such change, including, without limitation, with respect to the aggregate number of shares of Stock for which Stock Options in respect thereof may be granted under the Plan, the number of shares of Stock covered by each outstanding Stock Option, and the purchase price per share of Stock in respect of outstanding Stock Options.
               (b) Any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Company is a party to a merger or other reorganization, the Board shall determine the treatment of outstanding Stock Options, which treatment may include the assumption of outstanding Stock Options by the surviving company or its parent, their continuation by the Company (if the Company is the surviving company), accelerated vesting and/or accelerated expiration or settlement in cash.
          2. General.
               (a) Each Stock Option shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement which Agreement shall require the Grantee to enter into and be bound by the terms of the Company’s Shareholders’ Agreement, if any.
               (b) The granting of a Stock Option in any year shall not give the Grantee any right to similar grants in future years or any right to be retained as an Employee, Director or Consultant, and all Grantees shall remain subject to discharge or removal to the same extent as if the Plan were not in effect.
               (c) No Grantee, and no beneficiary or other person claiming under or through him, shall have any right, title or interest by reason of any Stock Option to any particular assets of the Company, or any shares of Stock allocated or reserved for the purposes of the Plan or subject to any Stock Option, except as set forth herein.
               (d) No Stock Option shall or may be sold, exchanged, assigned, pledged, encumbered, or otherwise hypothecated or disposed of except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and a Stock Option shall be exercisable during the Grantee’s lifetime solely by the Grantee or his conservator. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, a Non-Qualified Stock Option (not an Incentive Stock Option) may be transferred by the Grantee as an inter vivos gift to a Family Member.
               (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or agreements made pursuant thereto, the Company’s obligation to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for shares of Stock under a Stock Option, and the transferability of Stock acquired by exercise of a Stock Option, shall be subject to all of the following conditions:
          (i) Any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or regulation, or the maintaining in effect of any such registration or

10


 

other qualification which the Board shall, in its absolute discretion upon the advice of counsel, deem necessary or advisable;
          (ii) The obtaining of any other consent, approval or permit from any state or federal governmental agency which the Board shall, in its absolute discretion upon the advice of counsel, determine to be necessary or advisable; and
          (iii) Each stock certificate issued pursuant to a Stock Option shall bear such legends which the Company shall determine, in its absolute discretion, are necessary or advisable, or which in the opinion of counsel to the Company are required under applicable federal or state securities laws.
               (f) All payments to Grantees or to their legal representatives shall be subject to any applicable tax, community property or other statutes or regulations of the United States or of any state having jurisdiction thereover. If the Grantee is an Employee, the Grantee may be required to pay to the Company the amount of any withholding taxes which the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to be withheld in order to comply with any applicable statutes or regulations with respect to a Stock Option or its exercise. In the event that such payment is not made when due, the Company shall have the right to deduct, to the extent permitted by law, from any payment or settlement of any kind otherwise due to such person, all or part of the amount required to be withheld. The Company shall not be required to issue Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option until such applicable obligations, if any, shall have been satisfied.
               (g) The Company shall issue any Stock certificates required to be issued in connection with the exercise of a Stock Option with reasonable promptness following such exercise.
               (h) The Plan and the grant or exercise of Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to, and shall in all respects comply with, the applicable laws of Delaware.
               Should the participation of any Employee or Director in the Plan be subject to Section 16, it is the express intent of the Company that the Plan and the Stock Options granted under the Plan satisfy and be interpreted in a manner to achieve the result that the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 shall be satisfied with respect to such Employees and Directors, with the result that such Employees and Directors shall be entitled to the benefits of Rule 16b-3 or other applicable exemptive rules under Section 16. If any provision of the Plan or of any Stock Option would otherwise frustrate or conflict with the intent of the Company set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, to the extent possible, such provision shall be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict, and, to the extent of any remaining irreconcilable conflict with such intent, the provision shall, solely with respect to Employees and Directors subject to Section 16, be deemed void.
               (i) It is the express intention of the Company that the Plan and the Stock Options granted under the Plan to Employees subject to the restrictions contained in

11


 

Section 162(m) of the Code satisfy and be interpreted in a manner to achieve the result that the grant of such Stock Options shall constitute “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code. If any provision of the Plan or of any Stock Option would otherwise frustrate or conflict with the intent of the Company set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, to the extent possible, such provision shall be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict, and to the extent of any remaining irreconcilable conflict with such intent, the provision shall, solely with respect to Employees subject to the restrictions contained in Section 162(m) of the Code, be deemed void.

RIGHT MEDIA INC.

“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
“Fair Market Value” means, as of any date, the fair market value of Common Stock determined as follows:

  (ii)   If the Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market (but not on the Nasdaq Global Market or Nasdaq Global Select Market thereof) or regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported, its Fair Market Value shall be the mean between the bid and asked prices for the Common Stock on the date of determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable; or
 
  (iii)   In the absence of an established market for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value thereof shall be determined in good faith by the Administrator in compliance with any applicable legal, tax (including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code) and accounting requirements.

3. Stock Subject to the Plan. The Shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock. The maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan is 6,666,666 Shares. The foregoing numerical limit is subject to adjustment as contemplated by Section 10.
4. Administration of the Plan.
(a)   The Administrator. The Plan shall be administered by and all Awards under the Plan shall be authorized by the Administrator. The “Administrator” means the Board or one or more committees appointed by the Board or another committee (within its delegated authority) to administer all or certain aspects of the Plan. Any such committee shall be comprised solely of one or more Directors or such number of Directors as may be required under Applicable Law. A committee may delegate some or all of its authority to another committee so constituted. The Board or a committee comprised solely of Directors may also delegate, to the extent permitted by Section 157(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law and any other Applicable Law, to one or more Officers of the Company or Parent, its powers under the Plan (a) to designate the Employees other than an Officer who is a Reporting Person who will receive grants of Awards under the Plan, and (b) to determine the number of Shares subject to, and the other terms and conditions of, such Awards.

3


 

    Administrator: (a) a majority of the members of the acting Administrator shall constitute a quorum, and (b) the vote of a majority of the members present assuming the presence of a quorum or the unanimous written consent of the members of the Administrator shall constitute action by the acting Administrator.
 
    With respect to awards intended to satisfy the requirements for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan shall be administered by a committee consisting solely of two or more outside directors (as this requirement is applied under Section 162(m) of the Code); provided, however, that the failure to satisfy such requirement shall not affect the validity of the action of any other committee otherwise duly authorized and acting in the matter. Award grants, and transactions in or involving Awards, intended to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, must be duly and timely authorized by the Board or a committee consisting solely of two or more non-employee directors (as this requirement is applied under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act). To the extent required by any applicable Stock Exchange, the Plan shall be administered by a committee composed entirely of independent directors (within the meaning of the applicable Stock Exchange rules).
 
(b)   Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities, including the approval, if required, of any Stock Exchange, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:
  (i)   to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, in accordance with the definition of such term set forth above;
 
  (ii)   to select the Consultants and Employees to whom Awards may from time to time be granted hereunder;
 
  (iii)   to determine whether and to what extent Awards are granted hereunder;
 
  (iv)   to determine the number of Shares of Common Stock, if any, to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;
 
  (v)   to approve forms of agreements, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, for use under the Plan;
 
  (vi)   to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder, including, but not limited to, the Share price and any restriction or limitation, the vesting of any Award or the acceleration of vesting or waiver of a forfeiture restriction, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion;

4


 

  (vii)   to determine whether and under what circumstances an Award may be settled in cash or other consideration instead of Common Stock;
 
  (viii)   to adjust the number of Shares subject to any Award or change previously imposed terms and conditions, in such circumstances as the Administrator may deem appropriate, in each case subject to Sections 3 and 13;
 
  (ix)   to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan; and
 
  (x)   in order to fulfill the purposes of the Plan and without amending the Plan, to modify Awards to participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States in order to recognize differences in applicable local law, tax policies or customs.
(c)   Effect of Administrator’s Decision. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all holders of any Award.
5. Eligibility.
(a)   Recipients of Grants. Awards may be granted to eligible Employees and Consultants. An Employee or Consultant who has been granted an Award may, if he or she is otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards.
(b)   No Employment Rights. The Plan shall not confer upon any Award recipient any right with respect to continuation of employment or consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with such recipient’s right or the Company’s right to terminate his or her employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or without cause.
6. Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the stockholders of the Company as described in Section 17 of the Plan. It shall continue in effect until July 2, 2017, unless sooner terminated under Section 13 of the Plan.
7. Term of Awards. The term of each Award shall be the term stated in the written agreement evidencing such Award.
8. Restricted Stock Units.
(a)   General. Restricted Stock Units may be issued either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines that it will grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, it shall advise the recipient in writing of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer (which may include restrictions based on performance criteria, passage of time or other factors or a combination thereof), and the number of Restricted Stock Units that such person shall be entitled to receive. The offer shall be accepted by

5


 

    execution of a Restricted Stock Units Award agreement in the form determined by the Administrator.
(b)   Rights as a Stockholder. A recipient who is awarded Restricted Stock Units shall possess no incidents of ownership with respect to the Shares represented by such Restricted Stock Units, unless and until the same are transferred to the recipient pursuant to the terms of the Restricted Stock Unit.
(c)   Other Provisions. The Restricted Stock Units Award agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. In addition, the provisions of Restricted Stock Units Award agreements need not be the same with respect to each Award or each recipient who is awarded Restricted Stock Units.
9. Tax Withholding. Upon any vesting or payment of an Award, the Company, Parent or Subsidiary shall have the right at its option to:
(a)   require the Award recipient (or the recipient’s personal representative or beneficiary, as the case may be) to pay or provide for payment of the minimum amount of any taxes which the Company, Parent or Subsidiary may be required to withhold with respect to such Award event or payment; or
(b)   deduct from any amount otherwise payable in cash to the Award recipient (or the recipient’s personal representative or beneficiary, as the case may be) the minimum amount of any Award recipient’s taxes which the Company, Parent or Subsidiary may be required to withhold with respect to such cash payment.
 
    In any case where a tax is required to be withheld in connection with the delivery of Shares under the Plan, the Administrator may in its sole discretion (subject to Applicable Laws) grant (either at the time of the Award or thereafter) to the Award recipient the right to elect, pursuant to such rules and subject to such conditions as the Administrator may establish, to (i) have the Company reduce the number of Shares to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire from the recipient) the appropriate number of Shares, valued in a consistent manner at their Fair Market Value or at the sales price in accordance with authorized procedures for cashless exercises, necessary to satisfy the minimum applicable withholding obligation on vesting or payment, or (ii) surrender to the Company Shares which (A) in the case of Shares initially acquired from the Company, have been owned by the Award recipient for such period of time (if any) as may be required to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings, and (B) have a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld. For these purposes, the Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or repurchased, as applicable, shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined pursuant to the Code (the “Tax Date”).

6


 

    Any surrender by a Reporting Person of previously owned Shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations incurred in connection with an Award granted under the Plan must comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3.
 
    All elections by an Award recipient to have Shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations shall be made in writing in a form acceptable to the Administrator and shall be subject to the following restrictions: (i) the election must be made on or prior to the applicable Tax Date; (ii) once made, the election shall be irrevocable as to the particular Shares for which the election is made; and (iii) all elections shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of the Administrator.
10. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Corporate Transactions.
(a)   Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, (i) the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) covered by each outstanding Award, (ii) the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) that have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or that have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Award or otherwise and/or (iii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which Awards may be granted to any Employee under the Plan, shall be equitably and proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to an Award.
 
    It is intended that, if possible, any adjustments contemplated by the preceding paragraph be made in a manner that satisfies applicable legal, tax (including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code) and accounting (so as not to trigger any charge to earnings with respect to such adjustment) requirements. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence or of Section 4(c), any good faith determination by the Administrator as to whether an adjustment is required pursuant to this Section 10(a), and the extent and nature of any such adjustment, shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.
(b)   Corporate Transactions. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, each Award will terminate immediately prior to the

7


 

    consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator. Additionally, the Administrator may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that any Award shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Administrator. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, each Award shall be assumed or an equivalent Award shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation.
11. Non -transferability of Awards. An Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. Except as otherwise provided by the Administrator, an Award may only be purchased during the lifetime of the recipient of the Award.
12. Time of Granting of an Award. The date of grant of an Award shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator in compliance with applicable legal, tax (including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code) and accounting requirements. Notice of the grant determination shall be given to each Employee or Consultant to whom an Award is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.
13. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
(a)   Amendment and Termination. Subject to 13(c) below, the Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax, securities or regulatory law or requirement or any applicable Stock Exchange requirement with which the Board intends the Plan to comply or if such amendment constitutes a “material amendment.” For purposes of the Plan, a “material amendment” shall mean an amendment that (i) materially increases the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan, (ii) materially increases the number of securities that may be issued under the Plan, (iii) materially modifies the requirements for participation in the Plan, or (iv) is otherwise deemed a material amendment by the Administrator pursuant to any Applicable Law or applicable accounting or Stock Exchange rules.
(b)   Amendments to Awards. Without limiting any other express authority of the Administrator under (but subject to) the express limits of the Plan, the Administrator by agreement or resolution may waive conditions of or limitations on Awards that the Administrator in the prior exercise of its discretion has imposed, without the consent of the Award recipient, and (subject to the requirements of Section 13(c)) may make other changes to the terms and conditions of Awards.

8


 

(c)   Limitations on Amendments to Plan and Awards. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan or change of or affecting any outstanding Award shall, without written consent of the Award recipient, affect in any manner substantially adverse to such recipient any rights or benefits of such recipient or obligations of the Company under any Award granted under the Plan prior to the effective date of such change. Changes, settlements and other actions contemplated by Section 10 shall not be deemed to constitute changes or amendments for purposes of this Section 13(c).
14. Compliance with Laws. The Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan, the offer, issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock, and/or the payment of money under the Plan or under Awards are subject to compliance with all applicable federal, state and foreign laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to state and federal securities law and federal margin requirements) and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. The person acquiring any securities under the Plan will, if requested by the Company, Parent or a Subsidiary, provide such assurances and representations to the Company, Parent or Subsidiary as the Administrator may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all Applicable Law and accounting requirements.
15. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder and which Company has made a commercially reasonable effort to obtain, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
16. Agreements. Awards shall be evidenced by written agreements in such form as the Administrator shall approve from time to time and which shall not be inconsistent with the terms of this Plan.
17. Stockholder Approval. Continuance of the Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under applicable federal and state law and the rules of any stock exchange upon which the Shares are listed.
18. Unfunded Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

9


 

19. Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

If the Company shall accept Walrath’s or his beneficiary’s offer in writing within said 60 day period, Walrath or his beneficiary and the Company shall promptly effect such transaction. If the Company does not provide a written acceptance of Walrath’s or his beneficiary’s offer within said 60 day period, the Grantee or beneficiary shall be entitled to accept such third party’s offer and effect such transaction.
     (b) Call Option. Solely during such time that the Stock is not publicly traded, upon the termination of Walrath’s employment with the Company, the Company shall have the right to purchase from such individual or from such individual’s estate, for a period of 30 days following the date of such termination, any Stock obtained thereby pursuant to the exercise of an Option hereunder for a purchase price equal to the exercise price paid by Walrath, in connection with such Option.

     (b) Any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Company is a party to a merger or other reorganization, the Board shall determine the treatment of this Option, which treatment may include the assumption of this Option by the surviving company or its parent, their continuation by the Company (if the Company is the surviving company), accelerated vesting and/or accelerated expiration or settlement in cash.
     9. Restrictions on Transfer of Option . This Agreement and the Option shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution other than as an intervivos gift to a Family Member, and the Option shall be exercisable, during Walrath’s lifetime, solely by Walrath, except on account of Walrath’s Disability.
     10. Regulation by the Board . This Agreement and the Option shall be subject to the administrative procedures and rules as the Board shall adopt. All decisions of the Board upon any question arising under this Agreement, shall be conclusive and binding upon Walrath and any person or persons to whom any portion of the Option has been transferred by will, by the laws of descent and distribution or by intervivos gift to a Family Member.
     11. Reservation of Shares . With respect to the Option, the Company hereby agrees to at all times reserve for issuance and/or delivery upon payment by Walrath of the Option price, such number of Shares as shall be required for issuance and/or delivery upon such payment pursuant to the Option.

     13. Withholding . In the event Walrath elects to exercise the Option (or any part thereof), if the Company shall be required to withhold any amounts by reason of any federal, state or local tax rules or regulations in respect of the issuance of Shares to Walrath, the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold such amounts.
     14. Amendment . The Board may amend this Agreement at any time and from time to time; provided, however, that no amendment of this Agreement that would materially and adversely impair Walrath’s rights or entitlements with respect to the Option shall be effective without the prior written consent of Walrath.

5


 

     15. Market-Standoff Period.
     (a) In connection with the initial public offering of the Company’s securities and upon request of the Company or the underwriters managing such offering of the Company’s securities, Walrath agrees not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company (other than those included in the registration) without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days) from the effective date of such registration as may be requested by the Company or such managing underwriters and to execute an agreement reflecting the foregoing as may be requested by the underwriters at the time of the Company’s initial public offering.
     (b) The obligations described in Section 15(a) hereof shall apply only if all officers and directors of the Company and each holder of one percent (1%) or more of the Company’s capital stock on a fully diluted basis enter into similar agreements, and shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, or to a registration relating solely to a transaction pursuant to Rule 145 under the Securities Act.
     (c) In order to enforce the foregoing covenants, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the securities of Walrath (and the securities of every other person subject to the restrictions in Section 15(a) hereof).
     16. Effective Date of Grant . The Option shall be effective as of the date first written above.
     17. General.
     (a) The granting of this Option shall not give Walrath any right to similar grants in future years or any right to be retained as an employee of the Company. Walrath shall remain subject to discharge or removal to the same extent as if this Option were not in effect.
     (b) Neither Walrath nor any beneficiary or other person claiming under or through him, shall have any right, title or interest by reason of any Option to any particular assets of the Company, or any shares of Stock, except as set forth herein.
     (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company’s obligation to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for shares of Stock under this Option, and the transferability of Stock acquired by exercise of this Option, shall be subject to all of the following conditions:
     (i) Any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or regulation, or the maintaining in effect of any such registration or other qualification which the Board shall, in its absolute discretion upon the advice of counsel, deem necessary or advisable;

6


 

     (ii) The obtaining of any other consent, approval or permit from any state or federal governmental agency which the Board shall, in its absolute discretion upon the advice of counsel, determine to be necessary or advisable; and
     (iii) Each Stock certificate issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option shall bear such legends which the Company shall determine, in its absolute discretion, are necessary or advisable, or which in the opinion of counsel to the Company are required under applicable federal or state securities laws.
     (d) The Company shall issue any Stock certificates required to be issued in connection with the exercise of this Option with reasonable promptness following such exercise.
     (e) The grant of and exercise of this Option shall be subject to, and shall in all respects comply with, the applicable laws of Delaware.
     (f) Should Walrath’s receipt and/or exercise of this Option be subject to Section 16, it is the express intent of the Company that this Option satisfy and be interpreted in a manner to achieve the result that the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 shall be satisfied with respect to Walrath with the result that Walrath shall be entitled to the benefits of Rule 16b-3 or other applicable exemptive rules under Section 16. If any provision of this Option would otherwise frustrate or conflict with the intent of the Company set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, to the extent possible, such provision shall be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict, and, to the extent of any remaining irreconcilable conflict with such intent, the provision shall be deemed void.
     (g) It is the express intention of the Company that this Option satisfy and be interpreted in a manner to achieve the result that the grant of this Option shall constitute “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code. If any provision of this Option would otherwise frustrate or conflict with the intent of the Company set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, to the extent possible, such provision shall be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict, and to the extent of any remaining irreconcilable conflict with such intent, the provision shall, solely with respect to the restrictions contained in Section 162(m) of the Code, be deemed void.

     (a) In connection with the initial public offering of the Company’s securities and upon request of the Company or the underwriters managing such offering of the Company’s securities, O’Kelley agrees not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company (other than those included in the registration) without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days) from the effective date of such registration as may be requested by the Company or such managing underwriters and to execute an agreement reflecting the foregoing as may be requested by the underwriters at the time of the Company’s initial public offering.
     (b) The obligations described in Section 15(a) hereof shall apply only if all officers and directors of the Company and each holder of one percent (1%) or more of the Company’s capital stock on a fully diluted basis enter into similar agreements, and shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, or to a registration relating solely to a transaction pursuant to Rule 145 under the Securities Act.
     (c) In order to enforce the foregoing covenants, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the securities of O’Kelley (and the securities of every other person subject to the restrictions in Section 15(a) hereof).
     16. Effective Date of Grant. The Option shall be effective as of the date first written above.
     17. General.
     (a) The granting of this Option shall not give O’Kelley any right to similar grants in future years or any right to be retained as an employee of the Company. O’Kelley shall remain subject to discharge or removal to the same extent as if this Option were not in effect.
     (b) Neither O’Kelley nor any beneficiary or other person claiming under or through him, shall have any right, title or interest by reason of any Option to any particular assets of the Company, or any shares of Stock, except as set forth herein.
     (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company’s obligation to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for shares of Stock under this Option, and the transferability of Stock acquired by exercise of this Option, shall be subject to all of the following conditions:
     (i) Any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or regulation, or the maintaining in effect of any such registration or other qualification which the Board shall, in its absolute discretion upon the advice of counsel, deem necessary or advisable;

     (e) The grant of and exercise of this Option shall be subject to, and shall in all respects comply with, the applicable laws of Delaware.
