PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 19, 1997
------------------------
INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
This Proxy Statement is being furnished to the shareholders of OrCAD, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation ("OrCAD" or the "Company"), as part of the solicitation
of proxies by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors") from
holders of the outstanding shares of OrCAD common stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Common Stock"), for use at the Company's Annual Meeting of
Shareholders to be held at 1:30 p.m. on June 19, 1997, and at any adjournments
or postponements thereof, (the "Annual Meeting"). At the Annual Meeting,
shareholders will be asked to elect five members of the Board of Directors,
approve amendments to the Company's 1995 Stock Incentive Plan, ratify the
appointment by the Board of Directors of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as independent
auditors of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997, and
transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any
adjournments or postponements thereof. This Proxy Statement, together with the
enclosed proxy card, is first being mailed to shareholders of OrCAD on or about
May 8, 1997.
SOLICITATION, VOTING AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES
The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on April 24, 1997,
as the record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice
of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, only holders of record of
shares of Common Stock at the close of business on such date will be entitled to
vote at the Annual Meeting, with each such share entitling its owner to one vote
on all matters properly presented at the Annual Meeting. On the record date,
there were approximately 1,458 beneficial holders of the 6,712,641 shares of
Common Stock then outstanding. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a
majority of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to
vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual
Meeting.
If the enclosed form of proxy is properly executed and returned in time to
be voted at the Annual Meeting, the shares represented thereby will be voted in
accordance with the instructions marked thereon. EXECUTED BUT UNMARKED PROXIES
WILL BE VOTED FOR THE ELECTION OF THE FIVE NOMINEES FOR ELECTION TO THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS, FOR APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPANY'S 1995 STOCK INCENTIVE
PLAN AND FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KPMG PEAT MARWICK LLP AS THE
COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1997. The
Board of Directors does not know of any matters other than those described in
the Notice of Annual Meeting that are to come before the Annual Meeting. If any
other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the persons named
in the proxy will vote the shares represented by such proxy upon such matters as
determined by a majority of the Board of Directors.
A shareholder may revoke a proxy at any time prior to its exercise by
filing a written notice of revocation with, or by delivering a duly executed
proxy bearing a later date to, Corporate Secretary, OrCAD, Inc., 9300 S.W.
Nimbus Avenue, Beaverton, Oregon 97008, or by attending the Annual Meeting and
voting in person. All valid, unrevoked proxies will be voted at the Annual
Meeting.
<PAGE> 4
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
At the Annual Meeting, five directors will be elected. Unless otherwise
specified on the proxy, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to
vote the shares represented by each properly executed proxy for the election as
directors of the persons named below as nominees. The Board of Directors
believes that the nominees will stand for election and will serve if elected as
directors. However, if any person nominated by the Board of Directors fails to
stand for election or is unable to accept election, the proxies will be voted
for the election of such other person as the Board of Directors may recommend.

the Board of Directors' nominees for election as a director. Also set forth is

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO 1995 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
The Company maintains its 1995 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1995 Plan") to
provide incentives to the Company's key employees and others who provide
services to the Company. The Board of Directors believes that the availability
of stock incentives is an important factor in the Company's ability to attract
and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial
responsibility and to provide an incentive for them to exert their best efforts
on behalf of the Company. A total of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been
reserved for issuance under the 1995 Plan.
The Board of Directors has approved, and recommends shareholder adoption
of, amendments to the 1995 Plan to conform its provisions to certain
requirements of the regulations promulgated under Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and certain other amendments that
principally relate to the elimination of certain restrictions in the 1995 Plan
that are no longer necessary or appropriate based on recent changes to the rules
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The following discussion is intended only as a summary of the material
provisions of the 1995 Plan. Shareholders are encouraged to review the complete
copy of the 1995 Plan, which is included herein as Appendix A and marked to
indicate the proposed amendments, in its entirety before voting on this
proposal.
The 1995 Plan, which was approved by the Company's shareholders on December
15, 1995, provides for grants of both "incentive stock options" within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Code and "non-qualified stock options" which are
not qualified for treatment under Section 422 of the Code, and for direct stock
grants and sales to employees or consultants of the Company. As of April 24,
1997, approximately 129 persons were eligible to participate in the 1995 Plan.
In addition, the 1995 Plan has been amended to include nonemployee directors
within the definition of "consultant," making such persons eligible to
participate in the 1995 Plan. Because the directors, officers and employees of
the Company who may participate in the 1995 Plan and the amount of their options
will be determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion, it is not
possible to state the names or positions of, or the number of options that may
be granted to, the Company's directors, officers and employees. However, as
amended, no employee may receive options under the 1995 Plan for more than
100,000 shares of Common Stock in any one fiscal year, except that options for
up to an additional 100,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted in connection
with a person's initial employment with the Company.
The administration of the 1995 Plan has been delegated to the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"). In addition to
determining who will be granted options, the Committee has the authority and
discretion to determine when options will be granted and the number of options
to be granted and whether the options will be incentive stock options or
non-qualified stock options. Only "employees" of the Company as that term is
defined in the Code will be entitled to receive Incentive Stock Options. See
"Federal Income Tax Consequences" below. The Committee also may determine the
time or times when each option becomes exercisable, the duration of the exercise
period for options and the form or forms of the instruments evidencing options
granted under the Plan. The Committee also may construe the Plan and the
provisions in the instruments evidencing options granted under the Plan to
participants and is empowered to make all other determinations deemed necessary
or advisable for the administration of the Plan.
The term of each option granted under the 1995 Plan will be ten years from
the date of grant, or such shorter period as may be established at the time of
the grant. An option granted under the 1995 Plan may be exercised at such times
and under such conditions as determined by the Compensation Committee. If a
person who has been granted an option ceases to be an employee or consultant of
the Company, such person may exercise that option only during the three month
period after the date of termination, and only to the extent that the option was
exercisable on the date of termination. If a person who has been granted an
option ceases
6
<PAGE> 9
to be an employee or consultant as a result of such person's total and permanent
disability, such person may exercise that option at any time within twelve
months after the date of termination, but only to the extent that the option was
exercisable on the date of termination. The 1995 Plan has been amended to
provide that, except as otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee at the
time an option is granted, no option granted under the 1995 Plan is transferable
other than at death, and each option is exercisable during the life of the
optionee only by the optionee. In the event of the death of a person who has
received an option, the option generally may be exercised by a person who
acquired the option by bequest or inheritance during the twelve month period
after the date of death to the extent that such option was exercisable at the
date of death.
The exercise price of incentive stock options granted under the 1995 Plan
may not be less than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the
last market trading day prior to the date of grant of the option. For
nonqualified stock options, the 1995 Plan has been amended to provide that the
exercise price may be less than, equal to, or greater than the fair market value
of the Common Stock on the date of grant, provided that the Compensation
Committee must specifically determine that any option grant at an exercise price
less than fair market value is in the best interests of the Company. The
consideration to be paid upon exercise of an option, including the method of
payment, will be determined by the Compensation Committee and may consist
entirely of cash, check, shares of Common Stock, such other consideration and
method of payment permitted by applicable law or any combination of such methods
of payment as permitted by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation
Committee has the authority to reset the price of any stock option after the
original grant and before exercise. In the event of stock dividends, splits, and
similar capital changes, the 1995 Plan provides for appropriate adjustments in
the number of shares available for option and the number and option prices of
shares subject to outstanding options.
In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company, or a merger of the Company with and into another corporation,
outstanding options shall be assumed or equivalent options shall be substituted
by such successor corporation, unless the Committee provides all option holders
with the right to immediately exercise all of their options, whether vested or
unvested. In the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
outstanding options will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such
proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Board. In such a situation,
the Board is authorized to give option holders the right to immediately exercise
all of their options, whether vested or unvested.
The 1995 Plan will continue in effect until December 2005, unless earlier
terminated by the Board of Directors, but such termination will not affect the
terms of any options outstanding at that time. The Board of Directors may amend,
terminate or suspend the 1995 Plan at any time. Amendments to the 1995 Plan must
be approved by shareholders if required by applicable tax, securities or other
law or regulation.
The issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of options is
subject to registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the
shares reserved by the Company under the 1995 Plan.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The federal income tax discussion set forth below is included for general
information only. Optionees are urged to consult their tax advisors to determine
the particular tax consequences applicable to them, including the application
and effect of foreign, state and local income and other tax laws.
Incentive Stock Options . Certain options authorized to be granted under
the 1995 Plan are intended to qualify as incentive stock options for federal
income tax purposes. Under federal income tax law currently in effect, the
optionee will recognize no income upon grant or upon a proper exercise of an
incentive stock option. If an employee exercises an incentive stock option and
does not dispose of any of the option shares within two years following the date
of grant and within one year following the date of exercise, then any gain
realized upon subsequent disposition of the shares will be treated as income
from the sale or exchange of a capital asset. If an employee disposes of shares
acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option before the expiration or
either the one-year holding period or the two-year waiting period, any amount
realized will be taxable as ordinary compensation income in the year of such
disqualifying disposition to the extent that the lesser of the fair market value
of the shares on the exercise date or the proceeds of the sale of the shares
exceeds the exercise price.
7
<PAGE> 10
Non-qualified Stock Options. Certain options authorized to be granted
under the 1995 Plan will be treated as non-qualified stock options for federal
income tax purposes. Under federal income tax law presently in effect, no income
is realized by the grantee of a non-qualified stock option pursuant to the 1995
Plan until the option is exercised. At the time of exercise of a non-qualified
stock option, the optionee will realize ordinary compensation income, and the
Company will be entitled to a deduction, in the amount by which the market value
of the shares subject to the option at the time of exercise exceeds the exercise
price. Upon the sale of shares acquired upon exercise of a non-qualified stock
option, the excess of the amount realized from the sale over the market value of
the shares on the date of exercise will be taxable.
Consequences to the Company. The Company recognizes no deduction at the
time of grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. The Company will
recognize a deduction at the time of exercise of a non-qualified stock option on
the difference between the option price and the fair market value of the shares
on the date of grant. The Company also will recognize a deduction to the extent
the optionee recognizes income upon a disqualifying disposition of shares
underlying an incentive stock option.
Under Section 162(m) of the Code, publicly-held companies may be limited as
to income tax deductions to the extent total remuneration (including
compensation received through the exercise of stock options) for certain
executive officers exceeds $1 million in any one year. However, Section 162(m)
provides an exception for "performance-based" remuneration, including stock
options. Section 162(m) requires that certain actions must be taken by a
compensation committee of two or more outside directors and that the material
terms of such remuneration must be approved by a majority vote of the
shareholders in order for stock options to qualify as "performance-based"
remuneration. The regulations adopted pursuant to Section 162(m) which establish
the requirements for options to be treated as "performance-based" remuneration
require stock option plans to set forth the maximum number of options that may
be awarded to any employee in any one year. Accordingly, the Board of Directors
approved an amendment to the 1995 Plan to establish a limitation on the number
of options that may be awarded to any employee under the 1995 Plan in any
calendar year of 100,000, except that options for up to an additional 100,000
shares may be granted in connection with a person's initial employment with the
Company. If the proposed amendments to the 1995 Plan are not approved, stock
options granted under the 1995 Plan will not qualify as "performance-based"
remuneration under Section 162(m).
BOARD RECOMMENDATION
For the reasons discussed above, the Board recommends a vote FOR approval
of the amendments to the Company's 1995 Stock Incentive Plan. This proposal must
be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock
present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker
non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists at the
Annual Meeting. Abstentions are treated as "no" votes in determining whether the
proposal is approved. Broker non-votes are not counted and have no effect on the
results of the vote on the proposal. PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD WILL BE
VOTED FOR APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENTS TO THE 1995 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN UNLESS A
VOTE AGAINST THE PROPOSAL OR ABSTENTION IS SPECIFICALLY INDICATED.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL.
SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act") requires the Company's directors and officers, and persons who own more
than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file
initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Such persons also are required to furnish
the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.
Based solely on its review of the copies of such reports received by it
with respect to fiscal 1996, or written representations from certain reporting
persons, the Company believes that all filing requirements applicable to its
directors, officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of
the Company's equity securities have been complied with for fiscal 1996, except
for one Form 4 filed late for Glenwood Capital Investment Partners.

new Options under the Plan covering the same or different numbers of
Shares, but having an Option price per Share consistent with the
provisions of Section 8 of this Plan as of the date of the new Option
grant;
4.2.16 to establish, on a case-by-case basis, different terms and
conditions pertaining to exercise or vesting rights upon termination of
employment, whether at the time of an Option grant or Sale of Shares, or

MAY BE SETTLED IN CASH UNDER SUBSECTION 9.5 INSTEAD OF COMMON STOCK; AND
4.2.20 to make all other determinations deemed necessary or
advisable for the administration of the Plan.
4.3 Effect of Board's Decision. All decisions, determinations and
interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all
Optionees and any other holders of any Options granted under the Plan or
Shares Sold under the Plan.
5. ELIGIBILITY.
5.1 Persons Eligible. Options may be granted and/or Shares Sold only
to Employees and Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only
to Employees. An Employee or Consultant who has been granted an Option or
Sold Shares may, if he or she is otherwise eligible, be granted an
additional Option or Options or Sold additional Shares.
5.2 ISO Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate fair market
value of shares subject to an Optionee's Incentive Stock Options granted by
the Company, any Parent or Subsidiary, which (ii) become exercisable for
the first time during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or
any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options shall be
treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 5.2,
Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which
they were granted, and the fair market value of the Shares shall be
determined as of the time of grant.
A-4
<PAGE> 18
5.3 Section 5.2 Limitations. Section 5.2 of the Plan shall apply only
to an Incentive Stock Option evidenced by an Option Agreement which sets
forth the intention of the Company and the Optionee that such Option shall
qualify as an Incentive Stock Option. Section 5.2 of the Plan shall not
apply to any Option evidenced by a Option Agreement which sets forth the
intention of the Company and the Optionee that such Option shall be a
Nonqualified Stock Option.
5.4 No Right to Continued Employment. The Plan shall not confer upon
any Optionee any right with respect to continuation of employment or
consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way
with his or her right or the Company's right to terminate his employment or
consulting relationship at any time.
5.5 OTHER LIMITATIONS. THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY TO
GRANTS OF OPTIONS TO EMPLOYEES:
5.5.1 NO EMPLOYEE SHALL BE GRANTED, IN ANY FISCAL YEAR OF THE
COMPANY, OPTIONS TO PURCHASE MORE THAN 100,000 SHARES.
5.5.2 IN CONNECTION WITH HIS OR HER INITIAL EMPLOYMENT, AN
EMPLOYEE MAY BE GRANTED OPTIONS TO PURCHASE UP TO AN ADDITIONAL 100,000
SHARES WHICH SHALL NOT COUNT AGAINST THE LIMIT SET FORTH IN SUBSECTION
5.5.1 ABOVE.
5.5.3 THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL BE ADJUSTED PROPORTIONATELY
IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CHANGE IN THE COMPANY'S CAPITALIZATION AS
DESCRIBED IN SECTION 11.
5.5.4 IF AN OPTION IS CANCELED IN THE SAME FISCAL YEAR OF THE
COMPANY IN WHICH IT WAS GRANTED (OTHER THAN IN CONNECTION WITH A
TRANSACTION DESCRIBED IN SECTION 11, THE CANCELED OPTION SHALL BE
COUNTED AGAINST THE LIMITS SET FORTH IN SUBSECTIONS 5.5.1 AND 5.5.2)
ABOVE. FOR THIS PURPOSE, IF THE EXERCISE PRICE OF AN OPTION IS REDUCED,
THE TRANSACTION WILL BE TREATED AS A CANCELLATION OF THE OPTION AND THE
GRANT OF A NEW OPTION.
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 for a term of ten (10)
years, unless sooner terminated under Section 13 of the Plan.
7. TERM OF OPTION.
The term of each Option shall be stated in the Notice of Grant; provided,
however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term shall be ten
(10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the
Notice of Grant. However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an
Optionee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock
representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive
Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such
shorter term as may be provided in the Notice of Grant.
8. EXERCISE/PURCHASE PRICE AND CONSIDERATION.

less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value per
Share on the date of the grant.
A-5
<PAGE> 19
(b) granted to any other Employee, the per Share exercise price
shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market

SHARE EXERCISE/PURCHASE PRICE DETERMINED BY THE ADMINISTRATOR.
[(a) granted or Sold to a person who, at the time of the grant
of such Option or authorization of such Sale, owns stock
representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per
Share exercise/purchase price shall be no less than one hundred ten
percent (110%) of the fair market value per Share on the date of the
grant or authorization of Sale, unless otherwise expressly
determined by the Administrator.]
[(b) granted or Sold to any other person, the per Share
exercise/purchase price shall be no less than eighty-five percent
(85%) of the fair market value per Share on the date of grant or
authorization of Sale, unless otherwise expressly determined by the
Administrator.]
[(c)] Any determination to ESTABLISH AN OPTION EXERCISE PRICE OR
EFFECT A SALE OF COMMON STOCK [sell stock] at less than fair market
value on the date of the OPTION grant or authorization of Sale shall
be accompanied by an express finding by the Administrator specifying
that the sale is in the best interest of the Company, and specifying
both the fair market value and the OPTION EXERCISE [grant] or S[s]ale
price of the COMMON Sstock.
[8.1.3 IN THE CASE OF AN OPTION GRANTED OR SALE AUTHORIZED ON OR
AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF REGISTRATION OF ANY CLASS OF EQUITY SECURITY
OF THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE EXCHANGE ACT AND PRIOR TO
SIX (6) MONTHS AFTER THE TERMINATION OF SUCH REGISTRATION, THE PER SHARE
EXERCISE/PURCHASE PRICE SHALL BE NO LESS THAN ONE HUNDRED PERCENT (100%)
OF THE FAIR MARKET VALUE PER SHARE ON THE DATE OF GRANT OR AUTHORIZATION
OF SALE.]
8.2 Fair Market Value. The fair market value per Share shall be
determined by the Administrator in its discretion; provided, however, that
where there is a public market for the Common Stock, the fair market value
per Share shall be the closing price of the Common Stock (or the closing
bid if no sales were reported) for the last market trading day prior to the
date of grant of the Option or authorization of Sale or other
determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal (or, if not so
reported, as otherwise reported by the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotation (NASDAQ) System) or, in the event the Common
Stock is listed on a stock exchange, the fair market value per Share shall
be the closing price on such exchange for the last market trading day prior
to the date of grant of the Option or authorization of Sale or other
determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal.
8.3 Consideration. The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be
issued upon exercise of an Option or pursuant to a Sale, including the
method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator. In the case of
an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator shall determine the acceptable
form of consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration may consist
of:
8.3.1 cash;
8.3.2 check;
8.3.3 transfer to the Company of Shares which
(a) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option,
have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date
of surrender, and
(b) HAVE [having] a fair market value on the date of surrender
equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said
Option shall be exercised;
8.3.4 delivery of A PROPERLY EXECUTED EXERCISE NOTICE TOGETHER
WITH IRREVOCABLE INSTRUCTIONS TO A BROKER TO PROMPTLY DELIVER TO THE
COMPANY THE AMOUNT OF SALE OR LOAN PROCEEDS REQUIRED TO PAY THE EXERCISE
PRICE; [instructions to the Company to withhold from the Shares that
would otherwise be]
A-6
<PAGE> 20
[issued on the exercise that number of Shares having a fair market value
at the time of such exercise equal to the Option exercise price;]
8.3.5 such other consideration and method of payment for the
issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by legal requirements
relating to the administration of stock option plans under state
corporate and securities laws and the Code; or
8.3.6 any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.
If the fair market value of the number of whole Shares transferred or the
number of whole Shares surrendered is less than the total exercise price of the
Option, the shortfall must be made up in cash or by check. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 8.3, the consideration for Shares to be
issued pursuant to a Sale may not include, in whole or in part, the
consideration set forth in subsections (iii) and (iv) above.
9. EXERCISE OF OPTION.
9.1 Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option
granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such
conditions as determined by the Administrator, including performance
criteria with respect to the Company and/or the Optionee, and as shall be
permissible under the terms of the Plan.
An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.
An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such
exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the
Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the
Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the
Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any
consideration and method of payment allowable under the Option Agreement and
Section 8.3 of the Plan. Each Optionee who exercises an Option shall, upon
notification of the amount due (if any) and prior to or concurrent with delivery
of the certificate representing the Shares, pay to the Company amounts necessary
to satisfy applicable federal, state and local tax withholding requirements. An
Optionee must also provide a duly executed copy of any stock transfer agreement
then in effect and determined to be applicable by the Administrator. Until the
issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or
of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate
evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other
rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock,
notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. No adjustment will be made for a
dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock
certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.
Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the
number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the
Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the
Option is exercised.
9.2 Termination of Employment or Consulting Relationship. In the
event that an Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant
terminates (other than upon the Optionee's death or Disability) the
Optionee may exercise his or her Option, but only within such period of
time as is determined by the Administrator, and only to the extent that the
Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of termination (but in no
event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in
the Notice of Grant). In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the
Administrator shall determine such period of time (in no event to exceed
ninety (90) days from the date of termination) when the Option is granted.
If, at the date of termination, the Optionee is not entitled to exercise
his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable portion
of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee
does not exercise his or her Option with the time specified by the
Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such
Option shall revert to the Plan.
9.3 Disability of Optionee. In the event that an Optionee's
Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant terminates as a result of
the Optionee's Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her
A-7
<PAGE> 21
Option at any time within twelve (12) months from the date of such
termination, but only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to
exercise it at the date of such termination (but in no event later than the
expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant).
If, at the date of termination, the Optionee is not entitled to exercise
his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable portion
of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee
does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert
to the Plan.
9.4 Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an Optionee, the
Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following the
date of death (but in the no event later than the expiration of the term of
such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee's estate
or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
inheritance, but only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to
exercise the Option at the date of death. If, at the time of death, the
Optionee was not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the Shares
covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to the
Plan. If, after death, the Optionee's estate or a person who acquired the
right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance does not exercise
the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate,
and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
9.5 BUYOUT PROVISIONS. THE ADMINISTRATOR MAY AT ANY TIME OFFER TO
BUYOUT FOR A PAYMENT IN CASH OR SHARES, AN OPTION PREVIOUSLY GRANTED, BASED
ON SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS AS THE ADMINISTRATOR SHALL ESTABLISH AND
COMMUNICATE TO THE OPTIONEE AT THE TIME SUCH OFFER IS MADE.
10. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THE OPTION AGREEMENT, a[A]n
Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed
of in any manner other than by will, or by the laws of descent and distribution,
and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee
or, if incapacitated, by his or her legal guardian or legal representative.
11. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION OR MERGER.
11.1 Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the
stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered
by each outstanding Option and the number of shares of Common Stock which
have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options
have yet been granted or Sales made or which have been returned to the Plan
upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well as the price per
share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option, 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 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 Administrator, 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.
11.2 Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, each outstanding Option will
terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action,
unless otherwise provided by the Administrator. The Administrator may, in
the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that any
Option shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Board and give each
Optionee the right to exercise his or her Option as to all or any part of
the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which the Option would not
otherwise be exercisable.
A-8
<PAGE> 22
11.3 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 shall be substituted by such successor
corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless
the Administrator determines, in the exercise of its sole discretion and in
lieu of such assumption or substitution, that the Optionee shall have the
right to exercise the Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including
Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. If the
Administrator makes an Option fully exercisable in lieu of assumption or
substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Administrator
shall notify the Optionee that the Option shall be fully exercisable for a
period of thirty (30) days from the date of such notice or such shorter
period as the Administrator may specify in the notice, and the Option will
terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this
paragraph, the Option shall be considered assumed if, following the merger
or sale of assets, the Option confers the right to purchase, for each Share
of Optioned Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the merger or
sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities
or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Common
Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if
holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration
chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided,
however, that if such consideration received in the merger or sale of
assets was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its
Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor
corporation and the Optionee, provide for the consideration to be received
upon the exercise of the Option, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject
to the Option, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or
its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration
received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets.
12. TIME OF GRANTING OPTIONS.
The date of grant of an Option shall, for all purposes, be the date on
which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option. Notice of
the determination shall be given to each Optionee within a reasonable time after
the date of such grant.
13. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.
13.1 Amendment and Termination. The Board may amend or terminate the
Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem advisable.[;
provided, however, that if required to qualify the Plan under Rule 16b-3
promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act no amendment shall be made
more than once every six months that would change the amount, price or
timing of the option grants, other than to comport with changes in the Code
or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and provided, further,
that, if required to qualify the Plan under Rule 16b-3, no amendment shall
be made without the approval of the stockholders of the Company in the
manner described in Section 17 of the Plan if the amendment would:]
[13.1.1 increase the number of Shares subject to the Plan, other
than in connection with an adjustment under Section 11 of the Plan;]
[13.1.2 make a change in the designation of the class of Employees
or Consultants eligible to be granted Options; or]
[13.1.3 if the Company has a class of equity security registered
under Section 12 of the Exchange Act at the time of such revision or
amendment, cause any material increase in the benefits accruing to
participants under the Plan.]
13.2 Stockholder Approval. The Company shall obtain stockholder
approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to
comply with Rule 16b-3 or with Section 422 of the Code (or any successor
rule or statute or other applicable law, rule or regulation, including the
requirements of any exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock
is listed or quoted). Such stockholder approval, if required, shall be
obtained in such a manner and to such a degree as is required by the
applicable law, rule or regulation.
A-9
<PAGE> 23
13.3 Effect of Amendment or Termination. Any such amendment or
termination of the Plan shall not affect Options already granted, and such
Options shall remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not been
amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the
Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and
signed by the Optionee and the Company.
14. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES.
Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or a Sale
unless the exercise of such Option or consummation of the Sale and the issuance
and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant
provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, applicable state securities laws, the Exchange Act, the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange
(including NASDAQ) 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.
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.
16. LIABILITY OF COMPANY.
16.1 Inability to Obtain Authority. 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, 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.
As a condition to the exercise of an Option or a Sale, the Company may
require the person exercising such Option or to whom Shares are being Sold
to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise or Sale 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 relevant provisions of law.
16.2 Grants Exceeding Allotted Shares. If the Optioned Stock covered
by an Option exceeds, as of the date of grant, the number of Shares which
may be issued under the Plan without additional stockholder approval, such
Option shall be void with respect to such excess Optioned Stock, unless
stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of
Shares subject to the Plan is timely obtained in accordance with Section 13
of the Plan.
17. STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL.
Continuance of the Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of
the Company within twelve 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.
[18. SIX MONTH HOLDING PERIOD FOR AFFILIATES.]
[If the Company registers any class of any equity security pursuant to
Section 12 of the Exchange Act, then from the effective date of such
registration until six (6) months after the termination of such registration
(the Public Period), these limits will apply to each Officer, Director and
beneficial owner of ten percent (10%) or more of any class of equity securities
of the Company (Affiliates.) During the Public Period, any Affiliate shall hold
Shares Sold hereunder at least six months from the date of Sale. During the
Public Period, at least six months must elapse from the date of grant of an
Option to an Affiliate to the date the Affiliate disposes of the Shares acquired
upon exercise of the Option, or (if the Option is disposed of other than by
exercise) to the date of disposition of the Option itself.]
