2004 EMPLOYEE STOCK
PURCHASE PLAN
SECTION 1. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN.
The Board adopted the Plan effective as of the date of the IPO. The Plan shall be implemented on such date
following its effectiveness as shall be determined by the Board in its
discretion. The purpose of the Plan is
to provide Eligible Employees with an opportunity to increase their proprietary
interest in the success of the Company by purchasing Stock from the Company on
favorable terms and to pay for such purchases through payroll deductions. The Plan is intended to qualify for favorable
tax treatment under section 423 of the Code.
SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.
(a) Committee Composition.
The Committee shall administer the Plan.
The Committee shall consist exclusively of one or more directors of the
Company, who shall be appointed by the Board.
(b) Committee Responsibilities.
The Committee shall interpret the Plan and make all other policy
decisions relating to the operation of the Plan. The Committee may adopt such rules,
guidelines and forms as it deems appropriate to implement the Plan. The Committees determinations under the Plan
shall be final and binding on all persons.
SECTION 3. STOCK OFFERED UNDER THE PLAN.
(a) Authorized Shares.
The number of shares of Stock available for purchase under the Plan
shall be 925,000(1) (subject to adjustment pursuant to Subsection (b) below).
(1) All share
numbers reflect the reverse stock split approved in connection with the
IPO. Reflects 300,000 shares increase
approved by the stockholders on June 30, 2005. Reflects 300,000 shares increase approved by
the Compensation Committee of the Board on December 11, 2007, subject to
approval by stockholders at the Annual Stockholders Meeting on April 22,
2008.
(b) Anti-Dilution Adjustments.
The aggregate number of shares of Stock offered under the Plan, the
2,500-share limitation described in Section 8(c) and the price of
shares that any Participant has elected to purchase shall be adjusted proportionately
for any increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares of Stock
resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares or the payment of a
stock dividend, any other increase or decrease in such shares effected without
receipt or payment of consideration by the Company, the distribution of the
shares of a Subsidiary to the Companys stockholders, or a similar event.
(c) Reorganizations.
Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, immediately prior to
the effective time of a Corporate Reorganization, the Offering Period and
Accumulation
Period then in progress shall terminate and shares shall be purchased pursuant
to Section 8, unless the Plan is continued or assumed by the surviving
corporation or its parent corporation.
The Plan shall in no event be construed to restrict in any way the
Companys right to undertake a dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation
or other reorganization.
SECTION 4. ENROLLMENT AND PARTICIPATION.
(a) Offering Periods.
While the Plan is in effect, four overlapping Offering Periods shall
commence in each calendar year. The
Offering Periods shall consist of the 27-month periods commencing on each February 1,
May 1, August 1, and November 1, except that:
(i) The first Offering Period under the Plan
shall commence on the date designated by the Board and shall end on the date 27
months later.
(ii) The Committee may determine that the
first Offering Period applicable to the Eligible Employees of a new
Participating Company shall commence on any date specified by the Committee.
(iii) An Offering Period shall in no event be
longer than 27 months.
(iv) The Committee may vary the beginning and
ending dates of an Offering Period at any time prior to the commencement of an
Offering Period or at any time during an Offering Period to be effective
following the next purchase date.
(b) Accumulation Periods.
While the Plan is in effect, four Accumulation Periods shall commence in
each calendar year. The Accumulation
Periods shall consist of the three-month periods commencing on each February 1,
May 1, August 1, and November 1, except that:
(i) The first Accumulation Period shall
commence on the date designated by the Board and end on the earliest of the
next January 31, April 30, July 31, or October 31 unless
otherwise provided by the Committee.
(ii) The Committee may determine that the
first Accumulation Period applicable to the Eligible Employees of a new
Participating Company shall commence on any date specified by the Committee.
(iii) The Committee may vary the beginning and
ending dates of an Accumulation Period at any time to be effective following
the next purchase date.
(c) Enrollment at IPO.
If the Board elects to implement the Plan effective on the date of the
IPO, then each individual who, on the day of the IPO, qualifies as an Eligible
Employee shall automatically become a Participant on such day. Each Participant who was automatically
enrolled on the day of the IPO shall file the prescribed enrollment form with
the Company. The enrollment form shall
be filed at the prescribed location within 10 business days after the Company
files a registration statement on Form S-8 for the shares of Stock offered
2
under the
Plan. If a Participant who was automatically
enrolled on the day of the IPO fails to file such form in a timely manner, then
such Participant shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the Plan under Section 6(a). A former Participant who is deemed to have
withdrawn from the Plan shall not be a Participant until he or she re-enrolls
in the Plan under Subsection (d) below. Re-enrollment may be effective only at the
commencement of an Offering Period.
(d) Enrollment After IPO.
If the Plan is implemented subsequent to the date of the IPO, then each
Eligible Employee may elect to become a Participant on the first day of the
first Offering Period by filing the prescribed enrollment form with the
Company. The enrollment form shall be
filed at the prescribed location not later than the day designated by the
Company but in any event prior to the commencement of the Offering Period. In the case of any individual who qualifies
as an Eligible Employee on the first day of any Offering Period other than the
first Offering Period, he or she may elect to become a Participant by filing
the prescribed enrollment form with the Company.
(e) Duration of Participation.
Once enrolled in the Plan, a Participant shall continue to participate
in the Plan until he or she:
(i) Reaches the end of the Accumulation
Period in which his or her employee contributions were discontinued under Section 5(d) or
9(b);
(ii) Is deemed to withdraw from the Plan under
Subsection (c) above;
(iii) Withdraws from the Plan under Section 6(a);
or
(iv) Ceases to be an Eligible Employee.
A Participant whose employee contributions were
discontinued automatically under Section 9(b) shall automatically
resume participation at the beginning of the earliest Accumulation Period
ending in the next calendar year, if he or she then is an Eligible
Employee. In all other cases, a former
Participant may again become a Participant, if he or she then is an Eligible
Employee, by following the procedure described in Subsection (d) above.
(f) Applicable Offering Period.
For purposes of calculating the Purchase Price under Section 8(b),
the applicable Offering Period shall be determined as follows:
(i) Once a Participant is enrolled in the
Plan for an Offering Period, such Offering Period shall continue to apply to
him or her until the earliest of (A) the end of such Offering Period, (B) the
end of his or her participation under Subsection (e) above or (C) re-enrollment
for a subsequent Offering Period under Paragraph (ii), (iii) or (iv) below.
(ii) In the event that the Fair Market Value
of Stock on the last trading day before the commencement of the Offering Period
for which the Participant is enrolled is higher than on the last trading day
before the commencement of any subsequent Offering Period, the Participant
shall automatically be re-enrolled for such subsequent Offering Period.
3
(iii) If Section 14(b) applies, the
Participant shall automatically be re-enrolled for a new Offering Period.
(iv) Any other provision of the Plan
notwithstanding, the Company (at its sole discretion) may determine prior to
the commencement of any new Offering Period that all Participants shall be
re-enrolled for such new Offering Period.
(v) When a Participant reaches the end of an
Offering Period but his or her participation is to continue, then such
Participant shall automatically be re-enrolled for the Offering Period that
commences immediately after the end of the prior Offering Period.
SECTION 5. EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS.
(a) Commencement of Payroll
Deductions. A Participant may purchase shares of Stock
under the Plan solely by means of payroll deductions. Payroll deductions shall commence as soon as
reasonably practicable after the Company has received the prescribed enrollment
form.
(b) Amount of Payroll Deductions.
An Eligible Employee shall designate on the enrollment form the portion
of his or her Compensation that he or she elects to have withheld for the
purchase of Stock. Such portion shall be
a whole percentage of the Eligible Employees Compensation, but not less than
1% nor more than 15%.
(c) Changing Withholding Rate.
If a Participant wishes to change the rate of payroll withholding, he or
she may do so by filing a new enrollment form with the Company at the
prescribed location at any time. The new
withholding rate shall be effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the
Company has received such form. The new
withholding rate shall be a whole percentage of the Eligible Employees
Compensation, but not less than 1% nor more than 15%.
(d) Discontinuing Payroll Deductions.
If a Participant wishes to discontinue employee contributions entirely,
he or she may do so by filing a new enrollment form with the Company at the
prescribed location at any time. Payroll
withholding shall cease at the date requested by the Participant or thereafter
as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company has received such
form. (In addition, employee
contributions may be discontinued automatically pursuant to Section 9(b).) A Participant who has discontinued employee
contributions may resume such contributions by filing a new enrollment form
with the Company at the prescribed location.
Payroll withholding shall resume as soon as reasonably practicable after
the Company has received such form.
(e) Limit on Number of Elections.
No Participant shall make more than 2 elections under Subsection (c) or
(d) above during any Accumulation Period.
4
SECTION 6. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PLAN.
(a) Withdrawal.
A Participant may elect to withdraw from the Plan by filing the
prescribed form with the Company at the prescribed location at any time before
the last day of an Accumulation Period.
As soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, payroll deductions shall
cease and the entire amount credited to the Participants Plan Account shall be
refunded to him or her in cash. No
partial withdrawals shall be permitted.
(b) Re-Enrollment After Withdrawal.
A former Participant who has withdrawn from the Plan shall not be a
Participant until he or she re-enrolls in the Plan under Section 4(d). Re-enrollment may be effective only at the
commencement of an Offering Period.
SECTION 7. CHANGE IN EMPLOYMENT STATUS.
(a) Termination of Employment.
Termination of employment as an Eligible Employee for any reason,
including death, shall be treated as an automatic withdrawal from the Plan
under Section 6(a). (A transfer
from one Participating Company to another shall not be treated as a termination
of employment.)
(b) Leave of Absence.
For purposes of the Plan, employment shall not be deemed to terminate
when the Participant goes on a military leave, a sick leave or another bona fide leave of absence, if the leave was approved by the
Company in writing. Employment, however,
shall be deemed to terminate 90 days after the Participant goes on a leave,
unless a contract or statute guarantees his or her right to return to work. Employment shall be deemed to terminate in
any event when the approved leave ends, unless the Participant immediately
returns to work.
(c) Death.
In the event of the Participants death, the amount credited to his or
her Plan Account shall be paid to a beneficiary designated by him or her for
this purpose on the prescribed form or, if none, to the Participants
estate. Such form shall be valid only if
it was filed with the Company at the prescribed location before the Participants
death.
SECTION 8. PLAN ACCOUNTS AND PURCHASE OF
SHARES.
(a) Plan Accounts.
The Company shall maintain a Plan Account on its books in the name of
each Participant. Whenever an amount is
deducted from the Participants Compensation for purposes of the Plan, such
amount shall be credited to the Participants Plan Account. Amounts credited to Plan Accounts shall not be
trust funds and may be commingled with the Companys general assets and applied
to general corporate purposes. No
interest shall be credited to Plan Accounts, except to the extent otherwise
provided by the Committee.
(b) Purchase Price.
The Purchase Price for each share of Stock purchased at the close of an
Accumulation Period shall not be less than the lower of:
(i) 85% of the Fair Market Value of such
share on the last trading day before the commencement of the applicable
Offering Period (as determined under
5
Section 4(f)) or, in
the case of the first Offering Period under the Plan, 85% of the price at which
one share of Stock is offered to the public in the IPO; or
(ii) 85% of the Fair Market Value of such
share on the last trading day in such Accumulation Period.
(iii) The Committee may determine at any time
prior to the start of an Accumulation Period that the Purchase Price will be
such percentage of the Fair Market Value as the Committee shall determine
provided that the price shall not be lower than 85% nor higher than 100% of the
Fair Market Value of such share on the last trading day before the commencement
of the applicable Offering Period or on the last trading day of an Accumulation
Period (whichever of such days is selected by the Committee).
(c) Number of Shares Purchased.
As of the last day of each Accumulation Period, each Participant shall
be deemed to have elected to purchase the number of shares of Stock calculated
in accordance with this Subsection (c), unless the Participant has
previously elected to withdraw from the Plan in accordance with Section 6(a). The amount then in the Participants Plan
Account shall be divided by the Purchase Price, and the number of shares that
results shall be purchased from the Company with the funds in the Participants
Plan Account. The foregoing
notwithstanding, no Participant shall purchase more than 2,500 shares of Stock
with respect to any Accumulation Period nor more than the amounts of Stock set
forth in Sections 3(a) and 9(b).
The Committee may determine with respect to all Participants that any
fractional share, as calculated under this Subsection (c), shall be (i) rounded
down to the next lower whole share or (ii) credited as a fractional share.
(d) Available Shares Insufficient.
In the event that the aggregate number of shares that all Participants
elect to purchase during an Accumulation Period exceeds the maximum number of
shares remaining available for issuance under Section 3, then the number
of shares to which each Participant is entitled shall be determined by
multiplying the number of shares available for issuance by a fraction. The numerator of such fraction is the number
of shares that such Participant has elected to purchase, and the denominator of
such fraction is the number of shares that all Participants have elected to
purchase.
(e) Issuance of Stock.
Certificates representing the shares of Stock purchased by a Participant
under the Plan shall be issued to him or her as soon as reasonably practicable
after the close of the applicable Accumulation Period, except that the
Committee may determine that such shares shall be held for each Participants
benefit by a broker designated by the Committee (unless the Participant has
elected that certificates be issued to him or her). Shares may be registered in the name of the
Participant or jointly in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse as
joint tenants with right of survivorship or as community property.
(f) Tax Withholding.
To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign
law, a Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the
satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with
the Plan. The Company shall not be
required to issue any shares of Stock under the Plan until such obligations are
satisfied.
6
(g) Unused Cash Balances.
An amount remaining in the Participants Plan Account that represents
the Purchase Price for any fractional share shall be carried over in the
Participants Plan Account to the next Accumulation Period. Any amount remaining in the Participants
Plan Account that represents the Purchase Price for whole shares that could not
be purchased by reason of Subsection (c) above, Section 3 or Section 9(b) shall
be refunded to the Participant in cash, without interest.
(h) Stockholder Approval.
Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, no shares of Stock
shall be purchased under the Plan unless and until the Companys stockholders
have approved the adoption of the Plan.
SECTION 9. LIMITATIONS ON STOCK OWNERSHIP.
(a) Five Percent Limit.
Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, no Participant shall be
granted a right to purchase Stock under the Plan if such Participant,
immediately after his or her election to purchase such Stock, would own stock
possessing more than 5% of the total combined voting power or value of all classes
of stock of the Company or any parent or Subsidiary of the Company. For purposes of this Subsection (a), the
following rules shall apply:
(i) Ownership of stock shall be determined
after applying the attribution rules of section 424(d) of the
Code;
(ii) Each Participant shall be deemed to own
any stock that he or she has a right or option to purchase under this or any
other plan; and
(iii) Each Participant shall be deemed to have
the right to purchase 2,500 shares of Stock under this Plan with respect to
each Accumulation Period.
(b) Dollar Limit.
Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, no Participant shall
purchase Stock with a Fair Market Value in excess of the following limit:
(i) In the case of Stock purchased during an
Offering Period that commenced in the current calendar year, the limit shall be
equal to (A) $25,000 minus (B) the Fair Market Value of the Stock
that the Participant previously purchased in the current calendar year (under
this Plan and all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company or any
parent or Subsidiary of the Company).
(ii) In the case of Stock purchased during an
Offering Period that commenced in the immediately preceding calendar year, the
limit shall be equal to (A) $50,000 minus (B) the Fair Market Value
of the Stock that the Participant previously purchased (under this Plan and all
other employee stock purchase plans of the Company or any parent or Subsidiary
of the Company) in the current calendar year and in the immediately preceding
calendar year.
7
(iii) In the case of Stock purchased during an
Offering Period that commenced in the second preceding calendar year, the limit
shall be equal to (A) $75,000 minus (B) the Fair Market Value of the
Stock that the Participant previously purchased (under this Plan and all other
employee stock purchase plans of the Company or any parent or Subsidiary of the
Company) in the current calendar year and in the two preceding calendar years.
For purposes of this Subsection (b), the Fair
Market Value of Stock shall be determined in each case as of the beginning of
the Offering Period in which such Stock is purchased. Employee stock purchase plans not described
in section 423 of the Code shall be disregarded. If a Participant is precluded by this
Subsection (b) from purchasing additional Stock under the Plan, then
his or her employee contributions shall automatically be discontinued and shall
automatically resume at the beginning of the earliest Accumulation Period
ending in the next calendar year (if he or she then is an Eligible Employee).
SECTION 10. RIGHTS NOT TRANSFERABLE.
The rights of any Participant under the Plan, or any Participants
interest in any Stock or moneys to which he or she may be entitled under the
Plan, shall not be transferable by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by
operation of law, or in any other manner other than by beneficiary designation
or the laws of descent and distribution.
If a Participant in any manner attempts to transfer, assign or otherwise
encumber his or her rights or interest under the Plan, other than by
beneficiary designation or the laws of descent and distribution, then such act
shall be treated as an election by the Participant to withdraw from the Plan
under Section 6(a).
SECTION 11. NO RIGHTS AS AN EMPLOYEE.
Nothing in the Plan or in any right granted under the Plan shall confer
upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of a Participating
Company for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise
restrict in any way the rights of the Participating Companies or of the
Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate
his or her employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.
SECTION 12. NO RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER.
A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any
shares of Stock that he or she may have a right to purchase under the Plan
until such shares have been purchased on the last day of the applicable Accumulation
Period.
SECTION 13. SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS.
Shares of Stock shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance
and delivery of such shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable
requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state
securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or
other securities market on which the Companys securities may then be traded.
8
SECTION 14. AMENDMENT OR DISCONTINUANCE.
(a) General Rule.
The Board shall have the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan
at any time and without notice. Except
as provided in Section 3, any increase in the aggregate number of shares
of Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be subject to the approval of
the Companys stockholders. In addition,
any other amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Companys
stockholders to the extent required by any applicable law or regulation. The Plan shall terminate automatically 20
years after its adoption by the Board, unless (a) the Plan is extended by
the Board and (b) the extension is approved within 12 months by a vote of
the stockholders of the Company.
(b) Impact on Purchase Price.
This Subsection (b) shall apply in the event that (i) the
Companys stockholders during an Accumulation Period approve an increase in the
number of shares of Stock that may be issued under Section 3 and (ii) the
aggregate number of shares to be purchased at the close of such Accumulation
Period exceeds the number of shares that remained available under Section 3
before such increase. In such event, the
Purchase Price for each share of Stock purchased at the close of such
Accumulation Period shall be the lower of:
(i) The higher of (A) 85% of the Fair
Market Value of such share on the last trading day before the commencement of
the applicable Offering Period or, in the case of the first Offering Period
under the Plan, 85% of the price at which one share of Stock is offered to the
public in the IPO (if applicable) or (B) 85% of the Fair Market Value of
such share on the last trading day before the date the Companys stockholders
approve such increase; or
(ii) 85% of the Fair Market Value of such
share on the last trading day in such Accumulation Period.
Immediately after the close of such Accumulation
Period, a new Offering Period shall commence for all Participants.
