Except as expressly provided herein, no<br \/>\nissuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities<br \/>\nconvertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment<br \/>\nby reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares<br \/>\nof Covered Stock. No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 11 in a<br \/>\nmanner that would cause Incentive Stock Options to violate Section 422(b) of the<br \/>\nCode or cause an Award to be subject to adverse tax consequences under Section<br \/>\n409A of the Code.<\/p>\n<p>(b) <u>Change in Control<\/u>. In the event of a Change in Control, then the<br \/>\nfollowing provisions shall apply, unless otherwise provided in the Grantee153s<br \/>\nAward Agreement:<\/p>\n<p>(i) <u>Vesting<\/u>. Any Award outstanding on the date such Change in Control<br \/>\nis determined to have occurred that is not yet exercisable and vested on such<br \/>\ndate:<\/p>\n<p>(A) shall become fully exercisable and vested on the first anniversary of the<br \/>\ndate of such Change in Control (the &#8220;Change in Control Anniversary&#8221;) if the<br \/>\nGrantee153s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant does not terminate<br \/>\nprior to the Change in Control Anniversary;<\/p>\n<p>(B) shall become fully exercisable and vested on the Date of Termination if<br \/>\nthe Grantee153s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant terminates prior to<br \/>\nthe Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company<br \/>\nwithout Cause or resignation by the Grantee for Good Reason; or<\/p>\n<p>(C) shall not become full exercisable and vested if the Grantee153s Continuous<br \/>\nStatus as an Employee or Consultant terminates prior to the Change in Control<br \/>\nAnniversary as a result of termination by the Company for Cause or resignation<br \/>\nby the Grantee without Good Reason.<\/p>\n<p>For purposes of this Section 11(b)(i), the following definitions shall apply:\n<\/p>\n<p>(D) &#8220;Cause&#8221; means:<\/p>\n<p>(1) A Grantee153s conviction of a crime involving fraud or dishonesty; or<\/p>\n<p>(2) A Grantee153s continued willful or reckless material misconduct in the<br \/>\nperformance of the Grantee153s duties after receipt of written notice from the<br \/>\nCompany concerning such misconduct;<\/p>\n<p>provided, however, that for purposes of Section 11(b)(i)(D)(2), Cause shall<br \/>\nnot include any one or more of the following: bad judgment, negligence or any<br \/>\nact or omission believed by the Grantee in good faith to have been in or not<br \/>\nopposed to the interest of the Company (without intent of the Grantee to gain,<br \/>\ndirectly or indirectly, a profit to which the Grantee was not legally entitled).\n<\/p>\n<p>(E) &#8220;Good Reason&#8221; means:<\/p>\n<p>(1) The assignment to the Grantee of any duties inconsistent in any respect<br \/>\nwith the Grantee153s position (including status, titles and reporting<br \/>\nrequirement), authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other action by the<br \/>\nCompany that results in a diminution in such position, authority, duties or<br \/>\nresponsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and<br \/>\ninadvertent action that is not taken in bad faith and that is remedied by the<br \/>\nCompany promptly after receipt of written notice thereof given by the Grantee<br \/>\nwithin 30 days following the assignment or other action by the Company;<\/p>\n<p>(2) Any reduction in compensation; or<\/p>\n<p>(3) Change in location of office of more than 35 miles without prior consent<br \/>\nof the Grantee.<\/p>\n<p>(ii) <u>Dissolution or Liquidation<\/u>. In the event of the proposed<br \/>\ndissolution or liquidation of the Company, to the extent that an Award is<br \/>\noutstanding, it will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such<br \/>\nproposed action. The Board may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such<br \/>\ninstances, declare that any Option or SAR shall<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">13<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>terminate as of a date fixed by the Board and give each Grantee the right to<br \/>\nexercise his or her Option or SAR as to all or any part of the Covered Stock,<br \/>\nincluding Shares as to which the Option or SAR would not otherwise be<br \/>\nexercisable.<\/p>\n<p>(iii) <u>Merger or Asset Sale<\/u>. Except as otherwise determined by the<br \/>\nBoard, in its discretion, prior to the occurrence of a merger of the Company<br \/>\nwith or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets<br \/>\nof the Company, in the event of such a merger or sale each outstanding Option or<br \/>\nSAR shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right shall be substituted by<br \/>\nthe successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor<br \/>\ncorporation. In the event that the successor corporation or a Parent or<br \/>\nSubsidiary of the successor corporation does not agree to assume the Option or<br \/>\nSAR or to substitute an equivalent option or right, the Administrator shall, in<br \/>\nlieu of such assumption or substitution, provide for the Grantee to have the<br \/>\nright to exercise the Option or SAR as to all or a portion of the Covered Stock,<br \/>\nincluding Shares as to which it would not otherwise be exercisable. If the<br \/>\nAdministrator makes an Option or SAR exercisable in lieu of assumption or<br \/>\nsubstitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Administrator shall<br \/>\nnotify the Grantee that the Option or SAR shall be fully exercisable for a<br \/>\nperiod of 15 days from the date of such notice, and the Option or SAR will<br \/>\nterminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this<br \/>\nparagraph, the Option or SAR shall be considered assumed if, following the<br \/>\nmerger or sale of assets, the option or right confers the right to purchase, for<br \/>\neach Share of Covered Stock subject to the Option or SAR immediately prior to<br \/>\nthe merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other<br \/>\nsecurities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of<br \/>\nCommon Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and<br \/>\nif holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration<br \/>\nchosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided,<br \/>\nhowever, that if such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets was<br \/>\nnot solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the<br \/>\nAdministrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation and the<br \/>\nparticipant, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of<br \/>\nthe Option or SAR, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or<br \/>\nSAR, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal<br \/>\nin Fair Market Value to the per Share consideration received by holders of<br \/>\nCommon Stock in the merger or sale of assets.<\/p>\n<p>(iv) Except as otherwise determined by the Board, in its discretion, prior to<br \/>\nthe occurrence of a Change in Control other than the dissolution or liquidation<br \/>\nof the Company, a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the<br \/>\nsale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, in the event of such a<br \/>\nChange in Control, all outstanding Options and SARs, to the extent they are<br \/>\nexercisable and vested (including Options and SARs that shall become exercisable<br \/>\nand vested pursuant to Section 11(b)(i) above), shall be terminated in exchange<br \/>\nfor a cash payment equal to the Change in Control Price reduced by the exercise<br \/>\nprice applicable to such Options or SARs. These cash proceeds shall be paid to<br \/>\nthe Grantee or, in the event of death of an Grantee prior to payment, to the<br \/>\nestate of the Grantee or to a person who acquired the right to exercise the<br \/>\nOption or SAR by bequest or inheritance.<\/p>\n<p>12. <u>Term of Plan<\/u>. The Plan shall become effective upon its approval by<br \/>\nthe stockholders of the Company within 12 months after the date the Plan is<br \/>\nadopted by the Board. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the manner<br \/>\nand to the degree required under applicable federal and state law. The Plan<br \/>\nshall continue in effect until October 17, 2011, unless terminated earlier under<br \/>\nSection 13 of the Plan.<\/p>\n<p>13. <u>Amendment and Termination of the Plan<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p>(a) <u>Amendment and Termination<\/u>. The Board may at any time amend, alter,<br \/>\nsuspend or terminate the Plan. The Committee may amend, alter, suspend or<br \/>\nterminate the Plan so long as such action complies with Applicable Law, except<br \/>\nthat any Plan amendment to be presented to the stockholders for approval shall<br \/>\nfirst be approved by the Board. The Administrator may at any time amend, alter,<br \/>\nsuspend or terminate an outstanding Award.<\/p>\n<p>(b) <u>Stockholder Approval<\/u>. The Company shall obtain stockholder<br \/>\napproval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply<br \/>\nwith Rule 16b-3 or with Section 422 of the Code (or any successor rule or<br \/>\nstatute or other applicable law, rule or regulation, including the requirements<br \/>\nof any exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or<br \/>\nquoted). Furthermore, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any<br \/>\nmodification or amendment of the Plan to the extent that the Board, in its sole<br \/>\nand absolute discretion, reasonably determines, in accordance with the<br \/>\nrequirements of any exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is<br \/>\nlisted or quoted, that such modification or amendment constitutes a material<br \/>\nrevision or material amendment of the Plan. Such stockholder approval, if<br \/>\nrequired, shall be obtained in such a manner and to such a<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">14<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>degree as is required by Applicable Law. Without the approval of<br \/>\nstockholders, no amendment or alteration of the Plan or any outstanding Option<br \/>\nor SAR will have the effect of amending or replacing such an Option or SAR in a<br \/>\ntransaction that constitutes a &#8220;repricing.&#8221; For this purpose, a &#8220;repricing&#8221;<br \/>\nmeans: (1) amending the terms of an Option or SAR after it is granted to lower<br \/>\nits exercise price or base price; (2) any other action that is treated as a<br \/>\nrepricing under generally accepted accounting principles; and (3) canceling an<br \/>\nOption or SAR at a time when its strike price is equal to or greater than the<br \/>\nfair market value of the underlying Stock, in exchange or substitution for<br \/>\nanother Option, SAR, Stock Award, other equity, or cash or other property. A<br \/>\ncancellation and exchange or substitution described in clause (3) of the<br \/>\npreceding sentence will be considered a repricing regardless of whether the<br \/>\nOption, SAR, Stock Award or other equity is delivered simultaneously with the<br \/>\ncancellation, regardless of whether it is treated as a repricing under generally<br \/>\naccepted accounting principles, and regardless of whether it is voluntary on the<br \/>\npart of the Grantee. Adjustments to awards under Section 11 will not be deemed<br \/>\n&#8220;repricings,&#8221; however. The Administrator shall have no authority to amend, alter<br \/>\nor modify any Award term after the Award has been granted to the extent that the<br \/>\neffect is to waive a term that otherwise at that time would be mandatory for a<br \/>\nnew Award of the same type under the Plan.<\/p>\n<p>(c) <u>Effect of Amendment or Termination<\/u>. No amendment, alteration,<br \/>\nsuspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Grantee,<br \/>\nunless mutually agreed otherwise between the Grantee and the Administrator,<br \/>\nwhich agreement must be in writing and signed by the Grantee and the Company;<br \/>\nprovided, however, that for Awards granted after September, 2010, the<br \/>\nrequirements of this Section 13(c) will apply only if such impairment is<br \/>\nmaterial.<\/p>\n<p>14. <u>Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p>(a) <u>Legal Compliance<\/u>. The Company shall not be obligated to issue<br \/>\nShares pursuant to an Award unless the exercise, if applicable, of such Award<br \/>\nand the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with all relevant<br \/>\nprovisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as<br \/>\namended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,<br \/>\nApplicable Law, and the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system<br \/>\nupon which the Shares may then be listed or quoted, and shall be further subject<br \/>\nto the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.<\/p>\n<p>(b) <u>Investment Representations<\/u>. As a condition to the exercise of an<br \/>\nAward, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and<br \/>\nwarrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased<br \/>\nonly for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such<br \/>\nShares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is<br \/>\nrequired.<\/p>\n<p>(c) <u>Withholding<\/u>. The Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates are<br \/>\nauthorized to withhold from any Award granted, any payment relating to an Award<br \/>\nunder the Plan, including from a distribution of Shares, or any payroll or other<br \/>\npayment to a Grantee, amounts of withholding and other taxes due or potentially<br \/>\npayable in connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such<br \/>\nother action as the Administrator may deem advisable to enable the Company, its<br \/>\nSubsidiaries and affiliates, and Grantees to satisfy obligations for the payment<br \/>\nof withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Award. This<br \/>\nauthority shall include authority to withhold or receive Stock or other property<br \/>\nand to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of a Grantee153s<br \/>\nwithholding obligations, either on a mandatory or elective basis in the<br \/>\ndiscretion of the Administrator. Other provisions of the Plan notwithstanding,<br \/>\nonly the minimum number of Shares deliverable in connection with an Award<br \/>\nnecessary to satisfy statutory withholding requirements will be withheld, except<br \/>\na greater amount of Stock may be withheld provided that any such withholding<br \/>\ntransaction that will result in additional accounting expense to the Company<br \/>\nmust be expressly authorized by the Administrator.<\/p>\n<p>15. <u>Liability of Company<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p>(a) <u>Inability to Obtain Authority<\/u>. The inability of the Company to<br \/>\nobtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority<br \/>\nis deemed by the Company153s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and<br \/>\nsale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in<br \/>\nrespect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite<br \/>\nauthority shall not have been obtained.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">15<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>(b) <u>Grants Exceeding Allotted Shares<\/u>. If the Covered Stock covered by<br \/>\nan Award exceeds, as of the date of grant, the number of Shares that may be<br \/>\nissued under the Plan without additional stockholder approval, such Award shall<br \/>\nbe void with respect to such excess Covered Stock, unless stockholder approval<br \/>\nof an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of Shares subject to the Plan<br \/>\nis timely obtained in accordance with Section 13 of the Plan.<\/p>\n<p>16. <u>Reservation of Shares<\/u>. The Company, during the term of this Plan,<br \/>\nwill at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be<br \/>\nsufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.<\/p>\n<p>17. <u>Rights of Employees and Consultants<\/u>. Neither the Plan nor any<br \/>\nAward shall confer upon an Grantee any right with respect to continuing the<br \/>\nGrantee153s employment or consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall they<br \/>\ninterfere in any way with the Grantee153s right or the Company153s right to<br \/>\nterminate such employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or<br \/>\nwithout cause.<\/p>\n<p>18. <u>Sub-plans for Foreign Subsidiaries<\/u>. The Board may adopt sub-plans<br \/>\napplicable to particular foreign Subsidiaries. All Awards granted under such<br \/>\nsub-plans shall be treated as grants under the Plan. The rules of such sub-plans<br \/>\nmay take precedence over other provisions of the Plan, with the exception of<br \/>\nSection 3, but unless otherwise superseded by the terms of such sub-plan, the<br \/>\nprovisions of the Plan shall govern the operation of such sub-plan.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">16<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_stopmodifiedupdate":true,"_modified_date":"","_cloudinary_featured_overwrite":false},"corporate_contracts_companies":[7929],"corporate_contracts_industries":[9507],"corporate_contracts_types":[9539,9546],"class_list":["post-40601","corporate_contracts","type-corporate_contracts","status-publish","hentry","corporate_contracts_companies-jabil-circuit-inc","corporate_contracts_industries-technology__equipment","corporate_contracts_types-compensation","corporate_contracts_types-compensation__incentive"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/corporate.findlaw.com\/legal-api\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/corporate_contracts\/40601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/corporate.findlaw.com\/legal-api\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/corporate_contracts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/corporate.findlaw.com\/legal-api\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/corporate_contracts"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/corporate.findlaw.com\/legal-api\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"corporate_contracts_companies","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/corporate.findlaw.com\/legal-api\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/corporate_contracts_companies?post=40601"},{"taxonomy":"corporate_contracts_industries","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/corporate.findlaw.com\/legal-api\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/corporate_contracts_industries?post=40601"},{"taxonomy":"corporate_contracts_types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/corporate.findlaw.com\/legal-api\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/corporate_contracts_types?post=40601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
