5. PARTICIPATION.
(a) An eligible Employee may become a participant in the
Plan by completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in
the form of Exhibit A to this Plan and filing it with the Company's payroll
office prior to the applicable Enrollment Date.
(b) Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence
on the first payroll following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last
payroll in the Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless
sooner terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.
6. PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS.
(a) At the time a participant files his or her
subscription agreement, he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on
each pay day during the Offering Period in an amount not exceeding fifteen
percent (15%) of the Compensation which he or she receives on each pay day
during the Offering Period.
(b) All payroll deductions made for a participant shall
be credited to his or her account under the Plan and shall be withheld in whole
percentages only. A participant may not make any additional payments into such
account.
(c) A participant may discontinue his or her
participation in the Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof, or may increase or
decrease the rate of his or her payroll deductions during the Offering Period by
completing or filing with the Company a new subscription agreement authorizing a
change in payroll deduction rate. The Board may, in its discretion, limit the
number of participation rate changes during any Offering Period. The change in
rate shall be effective with the first full payroll period following five (5)
business days after the Company's receipt of the new subscription agreement
unless the Company elects to process a given change in participation more
quickly. A participant's subscription agreement shall remain in effect for
successive Offering Periods unless terminated as provided in Section 10 hereof.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) hereof,
a participant's payroll deductions may be decreased to zero percent (0%) at any
time during a Purchase Period. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate
provided in such participant's subscription agreement at the beginning of the
first Purchase Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year,
unless terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.
(e) At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in
part, or at the time some or all of the Company's Common Stock issued under the
Plan is disposed of, the participant must make adequate provision for the
Company's federal, state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which
arise upon the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock. At
any time, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the
participant's compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet
applicable withholding
lxxvii
<PAGE> 5
obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company
any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of
Common Stock by the Employee.
7. GRANT OF OPTION. On the Enrollment Date of each Offering
Period, each eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be
granted an option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period
(at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the Company's
Common Stock determined by dividing such Employee's payroll deductions
accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Participant's
account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that
in no event shall an Employee be permitted to purchase during each Purchase
Period more than 5,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (subject to any
adjustment pursuant to Section 19), and provided further that such purchase
shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(b) and 12 hereof.
The Board may, for future Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its
absolute discretion, the maximum number of shares of the Company's Common Stock
an Employee may purchase during each Purchase Period of such Offering Period.
Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in Section 8 hereof, unless the
participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10 hereof. The option shall expire
on the last day of the Offering Period.
8. EXERCISE OF OPTION.
(a) Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as
provided in Section 10 hereof, his or her option for the purchase of shares
shall be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of
full shares subject to option shall be purchased for such participant at the
applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her
account. No fractional shares shall be purchased; any payroll deductions
accumulated in a participant's account which are not sufficient to purchase a
full share shall be retained in the participant's account for the subsequent
Purchase Period or Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the
participant as provided in Section 10 hereof. Any other monies left over in a
participant's account after the Exercise Date shall be returned to the
participant. During a participant's lifetime, a participant's option to purchase
shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.
(b) If the Board determines that, on a given Exercise
Date, the number of shares with respect to which options are to be exercised may
exceed (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that were available for sale
under the Plan on the Enrollment Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (ii)
the number of shares available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date,
the Board may in its sole discretion (x) provide that the Company shall make a
pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for purchase on such
Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall
be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable
among all participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such
Exercise Date, and continue all Offering Periods then in effect, or (y) provide
that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares available for
purchase on such Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform
a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole
discretion to be equitable among all
lxxviii
<PAGE> 6
participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date,
and terminate any or all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Section 20
hereof. The Company may make pro rata allocation of the shares available on the
Enrollment Date of any applicable Offering Period pursuant to the preceding
sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional shares for issuance
under the Plan by the Company's shareholders subsequent to such Enrollment Date.
9. DELIVERY. As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date
on which a purchase of shares occurs, the Company shall arrange the delivery to
each participant, as appropriate, of a certificate representing the shares
purchased upon exercise of his or her option.
10. WITHDRAWAL.
(a) A participant may withdraw all, but not less than all
the payroll deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to
exercise his or her option under the Plan at any time by giving written notice
to the Company in the form of Exhibit B to this Plan. All of the participant's
payroll deductions credited to his or her account shall be paid to such
participant promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such
participant's option for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated,
and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of shares shall be made for
such Offering Period. If a participant withdraws from an Offering Period,
payroll deductions shall not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering
Period unless the participant delivers to the Company a new subscription
agreement.
(b) A participant's withdrawal from an Offering Period
shall not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any
similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding
Offering Periods which commence after the termination of the Offering Period
from which the participant withdraws.
11. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.
Upon a participant's ceasing to be an Employee, for any reason, he or
she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the payroll
deductions credited to such participant's account during the Offering Period but
not yet used to exercise the option shall be returned to such participant or, in
the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under
Section 15 hereof, and such participant's option shall be automatically
terminated. The preceding sentence notwithstanding, a participant who receives
payment in lieu of notice of termination of employment shall be treated as
continuing to be an Employee for the participant's customary number of hours per
week of employment during the period in which the participant is subject to such
payment in lieu of notice.
12. INTEREST. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions
of a participant in the Plan.
13. STOCK.
lxxix
<PAGE> 7
(a) Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization
of the Company as provided in Section 19 hereof, the maximum number of shares of
the Company's Common Stock which shall be made available for sale under the Plan
shall be 500,000 shares, plus an annual increase to be added on the first day of
the Company's fiscal year beginning in fiscal year 2000 equal to the lesser of
(i) 1,000,000 shares, (ii) 2% of the outstanding shares on such date, or (iii)
an amount determined by the Board. If, on a given Exercise Date, the number of
shares with respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of
shares then available under the Plan, the Company shall make a pro rata
allocation of the shares remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner
as shall be practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable.
(b) The participant shall have no interest or voting
right in shares covered by his option until such option has been exercised.
(c) Shares to be delivered to a participant under the
Plan shall be registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the
participant and his or her spouse.
14. ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or
a committee of members of the Board appointed by the Board. The Board or its
committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe,
interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to
adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan. Every finding, decision and
determination made by the Board or its committee shall, to the full extent
permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties.
15. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.
(a) A participant may file a written designation of a
beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the
participant's account under the Plan in the event of such participant's death
subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the option is exercised but prior to
delivery to such participant of such shares and cash. In addition, a participant
may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from
the participant's account under the Plan in the event of such participant's
death prior to exercise of the option. If a participant is married and the
designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall be required for
such designation to be effective.
(b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the
participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a
participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the
Plan who is living at the time of such participant's death, the Company shall
deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate
of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed
(to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver
such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or
relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to
the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.
lxxx
<PAGE> 8
16. TRANSFERABILITY. Neither payroll deductions credited to a
participant's account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or
to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and
distribution or as provided in Section 15 hereof) by the participant. Any such
attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without
effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw
funds from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 10 hereof.
17. USE OF FUNDS. All payroll deductions received or held by the
Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and
the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.
18. REPORTS. Individual accounts shall be maintained for each
participant in the Plan. Statements of account shall be given to participating
Employees at least annually, which statements shall set forth the amounts of
payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the
remaining cash balance, if any.
19. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, DISSOLUTION,
LIQUIDATION, MERGER OR ASSET SALE.
(a) CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. Subject to any required
action by the shareholders of the Company, the Reserves and the number of shares
of Common Stock which may be added to the Plan each fiscal year (pursuant to
Section 13), the maximum number of shares each participant may purchase each
Purchase Period (pursuant to Section 7), as well as the price per share and the
number of shares of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has
not yet been exercised shall be 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 or reclassification of
the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of 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 subject to an option.
(b) DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION. In the event of the
proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period then in
progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the "New Exercise
Date"), and shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such
proposed dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Board. The
New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company's proposed dissolution
or liquidation. The Board shall notify each participant in writing, at least ten
(10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for
the participant's option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the
participant's
lxxxi
<PAGE> 9
option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior
to such date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided
in Section 10 hereof.
(c) MERGER OR ASSET SALE. 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 outstanding option shall be
assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a
Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the
successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the option, any
Purchase Periods then in progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise
Date (the "New Exercise Date") and any Offering Periods then in progress shall
end on the New Exercise Date. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of
the Company's proposed sale or merger. The Board shall notify each participant
in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that
the Exercise Date for the participant's option has been changed to the New
Exercise Date and that the participant's option shall be exercised automatically
on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has
withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof.
20. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION.
(a) The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time
and for any reason terminate or amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 19
hereof, no such termination can affect options previously granted, provided that
an Offering Period may be terminated by the Board of Directors on any Exercise
Date if the Board determines that the termination of the Offering Period or the
Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Except as
provided in Section 19 and this Section 20 hereof, no amendment may make any
change in any option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of
any participant. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code
(or any successor rule or provision or any other applicable law, regulation or
stock exchange rule), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval in such a
manner and to such a degree as required.
(b) Without shareholder consent and without regard to
whether any participant rights may be considered to have been "adversely
affected," the Board (or its committee) shall be entitled to change the Offering
Periods, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld
during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts
withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in
excess of the amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays
or mistakes in the Company's processing of properly completed withholding
elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting
and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of
Common Stock for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from
the participant's Compensation, and establish such other limitations or
procedures as the Board (or its committee) determines in its sole discretion
advisable which are consistent with the Plan.
(c) In the event the Board determines that the ongoing
operation of the Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting
consequences, the Board may, in its discretion
lxxxii
<PAGE> 10
and, to the extent necessary or desirable, modify or amend the Plan to reduce or
eliminate such accounting consequence including, but not limited to:
(i) altering the Purchase Price for any Offering
Period including an Offering Period underway at the time of the change in
Purchase Price;
(ii) shortening any Offering Period so that
Offering Period ends on a new Exercise Date, including an Offering Period
underway at the time of the Board action; and
(iii) allocating shares.
Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder approval
or the consent of any Plan participants.
21. NOTICES. All notices or other communications by a participant
to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been
duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location,
or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.
22. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES. Shares shall not be issued
with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance
and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable
provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements
of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall be
further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.
As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require
the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any
such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of
the aforementioned applicable provisions of law.
23. TERM OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier
to occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by the
shareholders of the Company. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10)
years unless sooner terminated under Section 20 hereof.
24. AUTOMATIC TRANSFER TO LOW PRICE OFFERING PERIOD. To the extent
permitted by any applicable laws, regulations, or stock exchange rules if the
Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on any Exercise Date in an Offering Period
is lower than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Enrollment Date
of such Offering Period, then all participants in such Offering Period shall be
automatically withdrawn from such Offering Period immediately after the exercise
of their option on such Exercise Date and automatically re-enrolled in the
immediately following Offering Period as of the first day thereof.
