Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On
February 1, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of
ImmunoGen, Inc. (the "Company") recommended to the Company's Board of Directors,
and the Board of Directors approved certain changes to the ImmunoGen, Inc.
Restated Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The amendments provide that in the
event of a Change of Control of the Company all options outstanding under the
Plan shall become fully vested and immediately exercisable as of the date of
the
Change of Control. This provision shall apply to all options currently
outstanding under the Plan and all new options granted on or after the date
of
the amendment. This Change of Control provision supersedes the provision
currently set forth in the option agreements of certain employees of the
Company. Currently, the Company is not involved in any transactions or
discussion, that would constitute a change in control.
The
Plan
defines Change of Control to mean the occurrence of any of the following
events:
(i) Change
in
Ownership. Any “Person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becomes the “Beneficial Owner” (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities
of
the Company representing 50% or more of the total voting power represented
by
the Company’s then outstanding voting securities (excluding for this purpose any
such voting securities held by the Company or its affiliates or by any employee
benefit plan of the Company) pursuant to a transaction or a series of related
transactions which the Board of Directors does not approve; or
(ii) Merger/Sale
of Assets. (A) A merger or consolidation of the Company whether or not approved
by the Board of Directors, other than a merger or consolidation which would
result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior
thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or the parent of such
corporation) at least 50% of the total voting power represented by the voting
securities of the Company or such surviving entity or parent of such
corporation, as the case may be, outstanding immediately after such merger
or
consolidation; (B) or the stockholders of the Company approve an agreement
for
the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the
Company’s assets; or
(iii) Change
in
Board Composition. A change in the composition of the Board of Directors, as
a
result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors.
“Incumbent Directors” shall mean directors who either (A) are directors of
the Company as of February 1, 2006, or (B) are elected, or nominated
for election, to the Board of Directors with the affirmative votes of at
least a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or
nomination (but shall not include an individual whose election or nomination
is
in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the
election of directors to the Company).
The
Plan
is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein.

upon
exercise of Options granted under the Plan may be authorized and unissued
shares
or shares held by the Company in its treasury, or both.
B. Purposes
of the Plan
The
Plan
is intended to encourage ownership of Shares by Key Employees, non-employee
directors and certain consultants of the Company in order to attract such
people, to induce them to work for the benefit of the Company or of an Affiliate
and to provide additional incentive for them to promote the success of the
Company or of an Affiliate. The Plan provides for the issuance of ISOs and
Non-Qualified Options. The Plan shall be treated as an amendment to and
restatement of the Company's 1986 Incentive Stock Option Plan. As amended
and
restated the Plan shall apply to ISOs issued by the Company on or after the
date
of such amendment of the Plan, but the Plan as so amended shall apply to
any ISO
issued prior to such amendment if and only to the extent that the Incentive
Stock Option Agreement pursuant to which such ISO was granted is amended
in
writing to adopt the amended terms of the Plan.
2. SHARES
SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.
The
number of Shares subject to this Plan as to which Options may be granted
from
time to time shall be 8,550,000, or the equivalent of such number of Shares
after the Administrator, in its sole discretion, has interpreted the effect
of
any stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or similar
transaction effected after such date.
If
an
Option ceases to be "outstanding," in whole or in part, the Shares which
were
subject to such Option shall be available for the granting of other Options
under the Plan. Any Option shall be treated as "outstanding" until such Option
is exercised in full, or terminates or expires under the provisions of the
Plan,
or by agreement of the parties to the pertinent Option Agreement.
3. ADMINISTRATION
OF THE PLAN.
The
Administrator of the Plan will be the Board of Directors, except to the extent
the Board of Directors delegates its authority to a Committee of the Board
of
Directors. The Plan is intended to comply with Rule 16b-3 or its successors,
promulgated pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as
amended (the "1934 Act"), with respect to Participants who are subject to
Section 16 of the 1934 Act, and any provision in this Plan with respect to
such
persons contrary to Rule 16b-3 shall be deemed null and void to the extent
permissible by law and deemed appropriate by the Administrator. Subject to
the
provisions of the Plan, the Administrator is authorized to:
a interpret
the provisions of the Plan or of any Option or Option Agreement and to make
all
rules and determinations which it deems necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan;
b. determine
which employees of the Company or of an Affiliate shall be designated as
Key
Employees and which of the Key Employees, directors and consultants shall
be
granted Options;
c. determine
the number of Shares for which an Option or Options shall be granted;
and
d. specify
the terms and conditions upon which an Option or Options may be granted;
provided, however, that all such interpretations, rules, determinations,
terms
and conditions shall be made and prescribed in the context of preserving
the tax
status under Code Section 422 of those Options which are designated as ISOs.
Subject to the foregoing, the interpretation and construction by the
Administrator of any provisions of the Plan or of any Option granted under
it
shall be final, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, if
the
Administrator is other than the Board of Directors.
4. ELIGIBILITY
FOR PARTICIPATION.
The
Administrator will, in its sole discretion, name the Participants in the
Plan,
provided, however, that each Participant must be a Key Employee, director
or
consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate at the time an Option is granted.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, the Administrator may authorize
the grant of an Option to a person not then an employee, director or consultant
of the Company or of an Affiliate. The actual grant of such Option, however,
shall be conditioned upon such person becoming eligible to become a Participant
at or prior to the time of the execution of the Option Agreement evidencing
such
Option. ISOs may be granted only to Key Employees. Non-Qualified Options
may be
granted to any Key Employee, director or consultant of the Company or an
Affiliate. Granting of any Option to any individual shall neither entitle
that
individual to, nor disqualify him or her from, participation in any other
grant
of Options.
5. TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.
Each
Option shall be set forth in an Option Agreement, duly executed by the Company
and by the Participant. The Option Agreements, which may be changed in the
Administrator's discretion for any particular Participant (provided that
any
change in the Incentive Stock Option Agreement is not inconsistent with Code
Section 422), shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions.
5.1
Non-Qualified Options: Each Option intended to be a Non-Qualified Option
shall
be subject to the terms and conditions which the Administrator determines
to be
appropriate and in the best interest of the Company, subject to the following
minimum standards for any such Non-Qualified Option:
a. The
Option Agreement shall be in writing in the form approved by the Administrator,
with such modifications to such form as the Administrator shall
approve;
b. Option
Price: The option price (per share) of the Shares covered by each Option
shall
be determined by the Administrator but shall not be less than one hundred
percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of the Shares on the date
of
the grant of the Option.
c. Each
Option Agreement shall state the number of Shares to which it pertains;
and
d. Each
Option Agreement shall state the date on which it first is exercisable and
the
date after which it may no longer be exercised. Except as otherwise determined
by the Administrator, each Option granted hereunder shall become cumulatively
exercisable in four (4) equal annual installments of twenty-five percent
(25%)
each, commencing on the first anniversary date of the Option Agreement executed
by the Company and the Participant with respect to such Option, and continuing
on each of the next three (3) anniversary dates.
e. Each
Option shall terminate not more than 10 (ten) years from the date of grant
thereof or at such earlier time as the Option Agreement may
provide.
5.2
ISOs:
Each Option intended to be an ISO shall be issued only to a Key Employee
and be
subject to at least the following terms and conditions, with such additional
restrictions or changes as the Administrator determines are appropriate but
not
in conflict with Code Section 422 and relevant regulations and rulings of
the
Internal Revenue Service:
a. Minimum
standards: The ISO shall meet the minimum standards for Non-Qualified Options,
as described in subparagraph 5.1 above, except clauses (a), (b) and (e) there
under.
b. Option
Agreement: The Option Agreement for an ISO shall be in writing in substantially
the form as approved by the Administrator, with such changes to such form
as the
Administrator shall approve, provided any changes are not inconsistent with
Code
Section 422.
c. Option
Price: Immediately before the Option is granted, if the Participant owns,
directly or by reason of the applicable attribution rules in Code Section
424(d):
|
|
i.
|
Ten
percent (10%) or less of the total combined voting power of all
classes of
share capital of the Company or an Affiliate, the Option price
per share
of the Shares covered by each Option shall not be less than one
hundred
percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of the Shares
on the
date of the grant of the Option;
|
|
|
ii.
|
More
than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all
classes
of share capital of the Company or an Affiliate, the Option price
per
share of the Shares covered by each Option shall be not less than
one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the said Fair Market Value on the
date of
grant.
|
d. Term
of
Option: For Participants who own:
|
|
i.
|
Ten
percent (10%) or less of the total combined voting power of all
classes of
share capital of the Company or an Affiliate, each Option shall
terminate
not more than ten (10) years from the date of the grant or at such
earlier
time as the Option Agreement may
provide;
|
|
|
ii.
|
More
than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all
classes
of share capital of the Company or an Affiliate, each Option shall
terminate not more than five (5) years from the date of the grant
or at
such earlier time as the Option Agreement may
provide.
|
e. Limitation
on Yearly Exercise: The Option Agreements shall restrict the amount of Options
which may be exercisable in any calendar year (under this or any other ISO
plan
of the Company or an Affiliate) so that the aggregate Fair Market Value
(determined at the time each ISO is granted) of the stock with respect to
which
ISOs are exercisable for the first time by the Participant in any calendar
year
does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), provided that this
subparagraph (e) shall have no force or effect if its inclusion in the Plan
is
not necessary for Options issued as ISOs to qualify as ISOs pursuant to Section
422(d) of the Code.
f. Limitation
on Grant of ISOs: No ISOs shall be granted after the expiration of the earlier
of ten (10) years from the date of the adoption of the Plan by the Company
or
the approval of the Plan by the shareholders of the Company.
6. EXERCISE
OF OPTION AND ISSUANCE OF SHARES.
An
Option
(or any part or installment thereof) shall be exercised by giving written
notice
to the Company at its principal office address, together with provision for
payment of the full purchase price in accordance with this paragraph for
the
shares as to which such Option is being exercised, and upon compliance with
any
other condition(s) set forth in the Option Agreement. Such written notice
shall
be signed by the person exercising the Option, shall state the number of
Shares
with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall contain any
representation required by the Plan or the Option Agreement. Payment of the
purchase price for the shares as to which such Option is being exercised
shall
be made (a) in United States dollars in cash or by check, or (b) at the
discretion of the Administrator, through delivery of shares of Common Stock
having a fair market value equal as of the date of the exercise to the cash
exercise price of the Option, determined in good faith by the Board of Directors
of the Company, (c) at the discretion of the Administrator, by delivery of
the
grantee's personal recourse note bearing interest payable not less than annually
at no less than 100% of the applicable Federal rate, as defined in Section
1274(d) of the Code, (d) at the discretion of the Administrator, in accordance
with a cashless exercise program established with a securities brokerage
firm,
and approved by the Administrator, or (e) at the discretion of the
Administrator, by any combination of (a), (b), (c) and (d) above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall accept only such payment
on exercise of an ISO as is permitted by Section 422 of the Code.
The
Company shall then reasonably promptly deliver the Shares as to which such
Option was exercised to the Participant (or to the Participant's Survivors,
as
the case may be). In determining what constitutes "reasonably promptly,"
it is
expressly understood that the delivery of the Shares may be delayed by the
Company in order to comply with any law or regulation which requires the
Company
to take any action with respect to the Shares prior to their issuance. The
Shares shall, upon delivery, be evidenced by an appropriate certificate or
certificates for paid-up, non-assessable Shares.
The
Administrator shall have the right to accelerate the date of exercise of
any
installment of any Option, provided that the Administrator shall not accelerate
the exercise date of any installment of any Option granted to any Key Employee
as an ISO, (and not previously converted into a Non-Qualified Option pursuant
to
Article 18) without the prior approval of the Participant, if such acceleration
would violate the annual vesting limitation contained in Section 422(d) of
the
Code, as described in paragraph 5(e).
7. RIGHTS
AS A SHAREHOLDER.
No
Participant to whom an Option has been granted shall have rights as a
shareholder with respect to any Shares covered by such Option, except after
due
exercise
of
the
Option and provision for payment of the full purchase price for the Shares
being
purchased pursuant to such exercise.
8. ASSIGNABILITY
AND TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.
By
its
terms, an Option granted to a Participant shall not be transferable by the
Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution
or
pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or
Title
I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules thereunder,
and
shall be exercisable, during the Participant's lifetime, only by such
Participant (or by his or her legal representative). Such Option shall not
be
assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law
or
otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
Any attempted transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition
of any Option or of any rights granted thereunder contrary to the provisions
of
this Plan, or the levy of any attachment or similar process upon an Option,
shall be null and void.
9.
|
EFFECT
OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE OTHER THAN "FOR
CAUSE".
|
Except
as
otherwise provided in the pertinent Option Agreement, in the event of a
termination of service (whether as an employee or consultant) before the
Participant has exercised all Options, the following rules apply:
a. A
Participant who ceases to be an employee or consultant of the Company or
of an
Affiliate (for any reason other than termination "for cause," Disability,
or
death for which events there are special rules in Articles 10, 11, and 12,
respectively), may exercise any Option granted to him or her to the extent
that
the right to purchase Shares has accrued on the date of such termination
of
service, but only within such term as the Administrator has designated in
the
pertinent Option Agreement.
b. In
no
event may an Option Agreement provide, if the Option is intended to be an
ISO,
that the time for exercise be later than three (3) months after the
Participant's termination of employment.
c. The
provisions of this paragraph, and not the provisions of Article 11 or 12,
shall
apply to a Participant who subsequently becomes disabled or dies after the
termination of employment or consultancy, provided, however, in the case
of a
Participant's death, the Participant's survivors may exercise the Option
within
six (6) months after the date of the Participant's death, but in no event
after
the date of expiration of the term of the Option.
d. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if subsequent to a Participant's termination
of
employment or consultancy, but prior to the
exercise
of an Option, the Board of Directors determines that, either prior or subsequent
to the Participant's termination, the Participant engaged in conduct which
would
constitute "cause," then such Participant shall forthwith cease to have any
right to exercise any Option.
e. A
Participant to whom an Option has been granted under the Plan who is absent
from
work with the Company or with an Affiliate because of temporary disability
(any
disability other than a permanent and total Disability as defined in Article
1
hereof), or who is on leave of absence for any purpose, shall not, during
the
period of any such absence, be deemed, by virtue of such absence alone, to
have
terminated such Participant's employment or consultancy with the Company
or with
an Affiliate, except as the Administrator may otherwise expressly
provide.
f. Options
granted under the Plan shall not be affected by any change of employment
or
other service within or among the Company and any Affiliates so long as the
Participant continues to be an employee or consultant of the Company or any
Affiliate, provided, however, if a Participant's employment by either the
Company or an Affiliate should cease (other than to become an employee of
an
Affiliate or the Company), such termination shall affect the Participant's
rights under any Option granted to such Participant in accordance with the
terms
of the Plan and the pertinent Option Agreement.
10. EFFECT
OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE "FOR CAUSE".
Except
as
otherwise provided in the pertinent Option Agreement, the following rules
apply
if the Participant's service (whether as an employee or consultant) is
terminated "for cause" prior to the time that all of his or her outstanding
Options have been exercised:
a. All
outstanding and unexercised Options as of the date the Participant is notified
his or her service is terminated "for cause" will immediately be forfeited,
unless the Option Agreement provides otherwise.
b. For
purposes of this Article, "cause" shall include (and is not limited to)
dishonesty with respect to the employer, insubordination, substantial
malfeasance or nonfeasance of duty, unauthorized disclosure of confidential
information, and conduct substantially prejudicial to the business of the
Company or any Affiliate. The determination of the Administrator as to the
existence of cause will be conclusive on the Participant and the
Company.
c. "Cause"
is not limited to events which have occurred prior to a Participant's
termination of service, nor is it necessary that the Administrator's finding
of
"cause" occur prior to termination. If the Administrator determines, subsequent
to a Participant's termination of service but prior to the exercise of an
Option, that either prior or subsequent to the Participant's termination
the
Participant engaged in conduct which would constitute "cause," then the right
to
exercise any Option is forfeited.
d. Any
definition in an agreement between the Participant and the Company or an
Affiliate which contains a conflicting definition of "cause" for termination
and
which is in effect at the time of such termination shall supersede the
definition in this Plan with respect to such Participant.
11. EFFECT
OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE FOR DISABILITY.
Except
as
otherwise provided in the pertinent Option Agreement, a Participant who ceases
to be an employee of or consultant to the Company or of an Affiliate by reason
of Disability may exercise any Option granted to such Participant:
a. to
the
extent that the right to purchase Shares has accrued on the date of his
Disability; and
b. in
the
event rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically, to the extent of
a pro
rata portion of any additional rights as would have accrued had the Participant
not become Disabled prior to the end of the accrual period which next ends
following the date of Disability. The proration shall be based upon the number
of days of such accrual period prior to the date of Disability.
A
Disabled Participant may exercise such rights only within a period of not
more
than one (1) year after the date that the Participant became Disabled or,
if
earlier, within the originally prescribed term of the Option.
The
Administrator shall make the determination both of whether Disability has
occurred and the date of its occurrence (unless a procedure for such
determination is set forth in another agreement between the Company and such
Participant, in which case such procedure shall be used for such determination).
If requested, the Participant shall be examined by a physician selected or
approved by the Administrator, the cost of which examination shall be paid
for
by the Company.
12. EFFECT
OF DEATH WHILE AN EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT.
Except
as
otherwise provided in the pertinent Option Agreement, in the event of the
death
of a Participant to whom an Option has been granted while the Participant
is an
employee or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate, such Option may
be
exercised by the Participant's Survivors:
a. to
the
extent exercisable but not exercised on the date of death; and
b. in
the
case of an Option, in the event rights to exercise the Option accrue
periodically, to the extent of a pro rata portion of such rights based upon
the
number of days prior to the Participant's death and during the accrual period
which next ends following the date of death.
If
the
Participant's Survivors wish to exercise the Option, they must take all
necessary steps to exercise the Option within one (1) year after the date
of
death of such Participant, notwithstanding that the decedent might have been
able to exercise the Option as to some or all of the Shares on a later date
if
he or she had not died and had continued to be an employee or consultant
or, if
earlier, within the originally prescribed term of the Option.
13. TERMINATION
OF NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS' OPTION RIGHTS.
Except
as
otherwise provided in the pertinent Option Agreement, if a non-employee director
who receives Options:
a.
ceases
to
be a member of the Board of Directors of the Company for any reason other
than
death or Disability, any then unexercised Options granted to such non-employee
director may be exercised by the director within a period of ninety (90)
days
after the date the director ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors,
but
only to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which the Options
are
exercisable on the date the director ceases to be a member of the Board of
Directors, and in no event later than the expiration date of the Option;
or
b. ceases
to
be a member of the Board of Directors of the Company by reason of his or
her
death or Disability, any then unexercised Options granted to such non-employee
director may be exercised by the director (or by the director's personal
representative, heir or legatee, in the event of death) within a period of
one
hundred eighty (180) days after the date the director ceases to be a member
of
the Board of Directors, but only to the extent of the number of Shares with
respect to which the Options are exercisable on
the
date
the director ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors, and in no event
later than the expiration date of the Option.
14. PURCHASE
FOR INVESTMENT.
Unless
the offering and sale of the Shares to be issued upon the particular exercise
of
an Option shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act
of
1933, as now in force or hereafter amended (the "Act"), the Company shall
be
under no obligation to issue the Shares covered by such exercise unless and
until the following conditions have been fulfilled:
a. The
person(s) who exercise such Option shall warrant to the Company, prior to
receipt of the Shares, that such person(s) are acquiring such Shares for
their
own respective accounts, for investment, and not with a view to, or for sale
in
connection with, the distribution of any such Shares, in which event the
person(s) acquiring such Shares shall be bound by the provisions of the
following legend which shall be endorsed upon the certificate(s) evidencing
their Shares issued pursuant to such exercise or such grant:
"The
shares represented by this certificate have been taken for investment and
they
may not be sold or otherwise transferred by any person, including a pledgee,
in
the absence of an effective registration statement of the shares under the
Securities Act of 1933 or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company
that
an exemption from registration is then available."
b. The
Company shall have received an opinion of its counsel that the Shares may
be
issued upon such particular exercise in compliance with the Act without
registration thereunder.
The
Company may delay issuance of the Shares until completion of any action or
obtaining of any consent which the Company deems necessary under any applicable
law (including, without limitation, state securities or "blue
sky"laws).
15. DISSOLUTION
OR LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY.
Upon
the
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all Options granted under this
Plan
which as of such date shall not have been exercised will terminate and become
null and void; provided, however, that if the rights of a Participant or
a
Participant's Survivors have not otherwise terminated and expired, the
Participant or the Participant's Survivors will have the right immediately
prior
to such dissolution or liquidation to exercise any Option to the extent that
the
right to purchase Shares has accrued under the Plan as of the date immediately
prior to such dissolution or liquidation.
16. ADJUSTMENTS.
Upon
the
occurrence of any of the following events, a Participant's rights with respect
to any Option granted to him or her hereunder which have not previously been
exercised in full shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided, unless otherwise
specifically provided in the written agreement between the optionee and the
Company relating to such Option:
a. Stock
Dividends and Stock Splits. If the shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided
or
combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if the Company shall
issue any shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend on its outstanding Common
Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise
of
such Option shall be appropriately increased or decreased proportionately,
and
appropriate adjustments shall be made in the purchase price per share to
reflect
such subdivision, combination or stock dividend.
b. Consolidations
or Mergers. If the Company is to be consolidated with or acquired by another
entity in a merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets
or
any similar transaction or transaction having the same effect (an
"Acquisition"), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company, prior to consummation of such Acquisition shall, as to outstanding
Options, either (i) make appropriate provisions, if necessary, for the
continuation of such Options by substituting on an equitable basis for the
shares then subject to such Options (A) the securities of any successor or
acquiring entity, or (B) other consideration payable with respect to the
outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition; or
(ii)
upon written notice to the optionees, provide that all Options must be exercised
(all Options being made fully exercisable for purposes of this subsection)
within one year of the date of such notice, at the end of which period the
Options shall terminate; or (iii) terminate all Options in exchange for a
cash
payment equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares subject
to
such Options (all Options being made fully exercisable for purposes of this
subsection) over the exercise price thereof.
c. Recapitalization
or Reorganization. In the event of a recapitalization or reorganization of
the
Company (other than a transaction described in subparagraph B above) pursuant
to
which securities of the Company or of another corporation are issued with
respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock, an optionee upon exercising
an Option shall be entitled to receive for the purchase price paid upon such
exercise the securities he or she would have received if he or she had exercised
such Option prior to such recapitalization or reorganization.
d. Modification
of ISOs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to
subparagraphs A, B or C with respect to ISOs shall be made only after the
Administrator, after consulting with counsel for the Company, determines
whether
such adjustment would constitute a "modification" of such ISOs (as that term
is
defined in Section 424(h) of the Code) or would cause any adverse tax
consequences for the holders of such ISOs. If the Administrator determines
that
such adjustments made with respect to ISOs would constitute a modification
of
such ISOs, it may refrain from making such adjustments, unless the holder
of an
ISO specifically requests in writing that such adjustment be made and such
writing indicates that the holder has full knowledge of the consequences
of such
"modification" on his or her income tax treatment with respect to the ISO.
This
paragraph shall not apply to the acceleration of the vesting of any option
which
would cause any portion of the option to violate the annual vesting limitation
contained in Section 422(d) of the Code, as described in Article 5 subparagraph
5.2(e).
e. Change
of
Control. In the event of either (A) an Acquisition that also constitutes
a
Change of Control, where outstanding options are assumed or substituted in
accordance with subparagraph b clause (i) above; or (B) a Change of Control
that
does not also constitute an Acquisition, then
all
Options outstanding under the Plan shall become
fully
vested and immediately exercisable as of the date of the Change of Control.
The
provisions of this subparagraph e shall be retroactive and shall apply to
all
Options granted under the Plan, regardless of the date of grant.
Change
of
Control means the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i) Change
in
Ownership. Any “Person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
1934 Act) becomes the “Beneficial Owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing
50%
or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding
voting securities (excluding for this purpose any such voting securities
held by
the Company or its Affiliates or by any employee benefit plan of the Company)
pursuant to a transaction or a series of related transactions which the Board
of
Directors does not approve; or
(ii) Merger/Sale
of Assets. (A) A merger or consolidation of the Company whether or not approved
by the Board of Directors, other than a merger or consolidation which would
result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior
thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or
by
being
converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or the parent of
such
corporation) at least 50% of the total voting power represented by the voting
securities of the Company or such surviving entity or parent of such
corporation, as the case may be, outstanding immediately after such merger
or
consolidation; (B) or the stockholders of the Company approve an agreement
for
the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the
Company’s assets; or
|
(iii)
|
Change
in Board Composition. A change in the composition of the Board
of
Directors, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors
are
Incumbent Directors. “Incumbent Directors” shall mean directors who either
(A) are directors of the Company as of February 1, 2006, or (B)
are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board of Directors
with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the Incumbent
Directors at the time of such election or nomination (but shall
not
include an individual whose election or nomination is in connection
with
an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election
of
directors to the Company).
|
17. ISSUANCES
OF SECURITIES.
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 subject to Options. Except as expressly provided
herein, no adjustments shall be made for dividends paid in cash or in property
(including without limitation, securities) of the Company.
18. FRACTIONAL
SHARES.
No
fractional share shall be issued under the Plan and the person exercising
such
right shall receive from the Company cash in lieu of such fractional share
equal
to the Fair Market Value thereof.
19.
|
CONVERSION
OF ISOS INTO NON-QUALIFIED OPTIONS: TERMINATION OF
ISOS.
|
The
Administrator, at the written request of any optionee, may in its discretion
take such actions as may be necessary to convert such optionee's ISOs (or
any
installments or portions of installments thereof) that have not been exercised
on the date of conversion into Non-Qualified Options at any time prior to
the
expiration of such ISOs, regardless of whether the optionee is an employee
of
the Company or an Affiliate at the time of such conversion. Such actions
may
include, but not be limited to, extending the exercise
period
or
reducing the exercise price of the appropriate installments of such Options.
At
the time of such conversion, the Administrator (with the consent of the
optionee) may impose such conditions on the exercise of the resulting
Non-Qualified Options as the Administrator in its discretion may determine,
provided that such conditions shall not be inconsistent with this Plan. Nothing
in the Plan shall be deemed to give any optionee the right to have such
optionee's ISO's converted into Non-Qualified Options, and no such conversion
shall occur until and unless the Administrator takes appropriate action.
The
Administrator, with the consent of the optionee, may also terminate any portion
of any ISO that has not been exercised at the time of such
termination.
20. WITHHOLDING.
Upon
the
exercise of a Non-Qualified Option, the making of a Disqualifying Disposition
(as defined in paragraph 21) or the vesting of restricted Common Stock acquired
on the exercise of an Option hereunder, the Company may withhold from the
optionee's wages, if any, or other remuneration, or may require the optionee
to
pay additional federal, state, and local income tax withholding and employee
contributions to employment taxes in respect of the amount that is considered
compensation includible in such person's gross income. The Administrator
in its
discretion may condition the exercise of an Option or the vesting of restricted
Common Stock acquired by exercising an Option on the grantee's payment of
such
additional income tax withholding and employee contributions to employment
taxes.
21. NOTICE
TO COMPANY OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION.
Each
Key
Employee who receives an ISO must agree to notify the Company in writing
immediately after the Key Employee makes a Disqualifying Disposition of any
shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO. A Disqualifying Disposition
is any disposition (including any sale) of such shares before the later of
(a)
two years after the date the Key Employee was granted the ISO, or (b) one
year
after the date the Key Employee acquired shares by exercising the ISO. If
the
Key Employee has died before such stock is sold, these holding period
requirements do not apply and no Disqualifying Disposition can occur
thereafter.
22. TERMINATION
OF THE PLAN.
Except
as
provided in the following sentence, the Plan will terminate on November 12,
2007. The Plan may be terminated at an earlier date by vote of the stockholders
of the Company provided, however, that any such earlier termination will
not
affect any Options granted or Option Agreements executed prior to the effective
date of such termination.
23. AMENDMENT
OF THE PLAN.
The
Plan
may be amended by the stockholders of the Company. The Plan may also be amended
by the Administrator, including, without limitation, to the extent necessary
to
qualify any or all outstanding ISOs granted under the Plan or ISOs to be
granted
under
the
Plan
for favorable federal income tax treatment (including deferral of taxation
upon
exercise) as may be afforded incentive stock options under Section 422 of
the
Code, to the extent necessary to ensure the compliance of the Plan with Rule
16b-3 under the 1934 Act, and to the extent necessary to qualify the shares
issuable upon exercise of any outstanding options granted, or options to
be
granted, under the Plan for listing on any national securities exchange or
quotation in any national automated quotation system of securities dealers.
Any
amendment approved by the Administrator which is of a scope that requires
stockholder approval including, without limitation, in order to ensure favorable
federal income tax treatment for any incentive stock options or to ensure
the
qualification of the Plan under Rule 16b-3 shall be subject to obtaining
such
stockholder approval. In addition, if Nasdaq amends its corporate governance
rules so that such rules no longer require stockholder approval of “material
amendments” of equity compensation plans, then, from and after the effective
date of such an amendment to the Nasdaq rules, no amendment of the Plan which
(i) materially increases the number of shares to be issued under the Plan
(other
than to reflect a reorganization, stock split, merger, spinoff or similar
transaction); (ii) materially increases the benefits to Participants, including
any material change to: (a) permit a repricing (or decrease in exercise price)
of outstanding Options, (b) reduce the price at which Shares or Options may
be
offered, or (c) extend the duration of the Plan; (iii) materially expands
the
class of Participants eligible to participate in the Plan; or (iv) expands
the
types of awards provided under the Plan shall become effective unless
stockholder approval is obtained. Any modification or amendment of the Plan
shall not, without the consent of an optionee, adversely affect his or her
rights under an option previously granted to him or her. With the consent
of the
optionee affected, the Administrator may amend outstanding option agreements
in
a manner not inconsistent with the Plan.
24. EMPLOYMENT
OR OTHER RELATIONSHIP.
Nothing
in this plan or any Option Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the Company
or
an Affiliate from terminating the employment, consultancy or director status
of
a Participant, nor to prevent a Participant from terminating his or her own
employment, consultancy or director status or to give any Participant a right
to
be retained in employment or other service by the Company or any Affiliate
for
any period of time.
25. GOVERNING
LAW.
This
Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of
The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Exhibit 10.2 Form of Incentive Stock Option Agreement
Exhibit
10.2
INCENTIVE
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
IMMUNOGEN,
INC.
AGREEMENT
made this «Grantdate»,
between
ImmunoGen, Inc. (the "Company"), a Massachusetts corporation having a principal
place of business in Cambridge, Massachusetts and «FirstName» «LastName»,
«Address»,
«City»,
«State» «Zip» (the
"Employee").
WHEREAS,
the Company desires to grant to the Employee an option to purchase shares of
its
Common Stock, $.01 par
value
("Common Stock"), under and for the purposes of the Company's Restated Stock
Option Plan, as amended (the "Plan");
WHEREAS,
the Company and the Employee understand and agree that any terms used herein
and
not otherwise defined herein have the same meanings as in the Plan (the Employee
being referred to in the Plan as a "Participant");
WHEREAS,
the Company and the Employee each intend that the Option granted herein shall
be
an Incentive Stock Option.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and
for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. GRANT
OF OPTION
The
Company hereby grants to the Employee the right and Option to purchase all
or
any part of an aggregate of «ISO_Shares»
shares
(the "Shares") of Common Stock on the terms and conditions and subject to and
with the benefit of all limitations set forth herein and in the Plan, which
is
incorporated herein by reference. The Employee acknowledges receipt of a copy
of
the Plan.
2. PURCHASE
PRICE
The
purchase price of the Shares covered by the Option shall be «Price» per
Share, subject to adjustment, as provided in the Plan, in the event of a stock
split, reverse stock split or other events affecting the holders of Common
Stock. Payment shall be made in accordance with Article 6 of the Plan.
3. EXERCISE
OF OPTION
Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Option
granted hereby shall become exercisable cumulatively as follows:
provided,
however, that no part of the Option shall be exercisable after the termination
or expiration of the option as hereinafter provided; and provided, further,
that
the Option may be exercised as to not more than «ISO_Shares»
Shares
in the aggregate from and after the date of this Agreement.
4. TERM
OF OPTION
The
Option shall terminate ten (10) years from the date of this Agreement but shall
be subject to earlier termination as provided herein or in the Plan. If the
Employee ceases to be an employee of the Company or of an Affiliate (for any
reason other than the death or Disability of the Employee or termination for
"cause" as defined in the Plan), the Option may be exercised, if it has not
previously terminated, within three (3) months after the date the Employee
ceases to be an employee, but may not be exercised thereafter. In such event,
the Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that the right to purchase
Shares under this Agreement has accrued and is in effect as of the date of
such
cessation of employment.
In
the
event that the Employee's employment is terminated for "cause" (as defined
in
the Plan), or, if subsequent to the termination of the Employee's employment
but
prior to the exercise of the Option it is determined that either prior or
subsequent to such termination the Employee engaged in conduct which would
constitute "cause" for the termination of the Employee's employment (such
determination to be made in accordance with Article 10 of the Plan), the
Employee's right to exercise any unexercised portion of this Option shall cease
forthwith, and this Option shall thereupon terminate.
In
the
event that the Employee's employment is terminated for any reason other than
death or Disability or for "cause", and the Employee subsequently becomes
Disabled or dies, the first paragraph of this Section 4 shall control and fix
the rights of the Employee, and nothing hereinafter set forth in this Section
4
(except the following provision) shall extend the period of exercisability
of
the Option; provided, however, in the case of the Employee's death within the
period allowed for exercise, the Employee's Survivors may exercise the Option
to
the extent permitted by the first paragraph of this Section 4 within, but only
within, six (6) months after the date of Employee's death.
In
the
event of the Disability of the Employee (as defined in the Plan and as
determined by the Board of Directors, and as to the fact and date of which
the
Employee is notified by the Board of Directors in writing), the Option shall
be
exercisable within one (1) year after the date of such Disability or, if
earlier, the term originally prescribed by this Agreement. In such event, the
Option shall be exercisable (1) to the extent that the right to purchase Shares
hereunder has accrued and is in effect as of such determination date and (2)
if
rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically under Section 3 hereof, to
the
extent of a pro rata portion of any additional rights which would have accrued
had the Employee not become so Disabled prior to the end of the accrual period
which next ends following the date of Disability. (The proration shall be made
on the basis of the number of days of the accrual period prior to the date
of
Disability.)
In
the
event of the death of the Employee while in the employ of the Company or of
an
Affiliate, the Option (1) to the extent exercisable but not exercised as of
the
date of death, and (2) if rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically
under Section 3 hereof, to the extent of a pro rata portion of any additional
rights based upon the number of days prior to the Employee's death and during
the accrual period which next ends following the date of death, may be exercised
by the Employee's Survivors as provided in the Plan. (The proration shall be
made on the basis of the number of days of the accrual period prior to the
Employee's death.) In such event, the Option must be exercised, if at all,
within one (1) year after the date of death of the Employee or, if earlier,
within the time originally prescribed by this Agreement.
5. EXERCISE
OF OPTION AND ISSUE OF SHARES
Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Option may be exercised
by
written notice to the Company, at the principal office address of the Company.
Such notice shall state the election to exercise the Option and the number
of
Shares in respect of which it is being exercised, shall be signed
by
the
person or persons so exercising the Option, shall contain the warranty, if
any,
required by Section 6 of this Agreement and shall otherwise comply with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. Payment of the full
purchase price for such Shares shall be made in accordance with Article 6 of
the
Plan, and the Company shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing
such Shares as soon as practicable after the notice shall be received, provided,
however, that the Company may delay issuance of such Shares until completion
of
any action or obtaining of any consent, which the Company deems necessary under
any applicable law (including without limitation, state securities or "blue
sky"
laws).
The
certificate or certificates for the Shares as to which the Option shall have
been so exercised shall be registered in the name of the person or persons
so
exercising the Option (or, if the Option shall be exercised by the Employee
and
if the Employee shall so request in the notice exercising the Option, shall
be
registered in the name of the Employee and another person jointly, with right
of
survivorship) and shall be delivered as provided above to or upon the written
order of the person or persons exercising the Option. In the event the Option
shall be exercised, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, by any person or persons
other
than the Employee, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of
the
right of such person or persons to exercise the Option. All Shares that shall
be
purchased upon the exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully
paid
and nonassessable.
6. PURCHASE
FOR INVESTMENT
Unless
the offering and sale of the Shares to be issued upon the particular exercise
of
the Option shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act
of
1933 as now in force or hereafter amended (the "Act"), the Company shall be
under no obligation to issue the Shares covered by such exercise unless and
until the following conditions have been fulfilled:
|
(a)
|
The
person(s) who exercise such Option shall warrant to the Company,
prior to
receipt of the Shares, that such person(s) are acquiring such Shares
for
their own respective accounts, for investment and not with a view
to, or
for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Shares;
and in
such event the person(s) acquiring such Shares shall be bound by
the
provisions of the following legend which shall be endorsed upon the
certificate or certificates evidencing the Shares issued by the Company
pursuant to such exercise:
|
"The
shares represented by this certificate have been taken for investment and they
may not be sold or otherwise transferred by any person, including a pledgee,
in
the absence of an effective registration statement for the shares under the
Securities Act of 1933 or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company
that
an exemption from registration is
then
available."
|
(b)
|
The
Company shall have received an opinion of its counsel that the Shares
may
be issued upon such particular exercise in
compliance
with the Act without registration thereunder.
|
7. RIGHTS
AS A SHAREHOLDER
The
Employee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares
covered by the Option, except after due exercise of the Option and provision
for
payment of the full purchase price for the Shares being purchased pursuant
to
such exercise.
8. ASSIGNABILITY
AND TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS
By
its
terms, the Option shall not be transferable by the Employee other than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act or the rules thereunder, and shall be exercisable, during
the Employee's lifetime, only by such Employee (or by his or her legal
representative). The Option shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated
in
any
way
(whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to
execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted transfer, assignment,
pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option or of any rights
granted thereunder contrary to the provisions of this Section 8, or the levy
of
any attachment or similar process upon the Option, shall be null and void.
9. OPTION
IS AN ISO
The
parties each intend that the Option be an ISO so that the Employee (or
Employee's Survivors) may qualify for the favorable tax treatment provided
to
holders of Options that meet the standards of Code Section 422. Any provision
of
this Agreement or the Plan which conflicts with the Code so that this Option
would not be deemed an ISO is
null
and
void and any ambiguities shall be resolved so that the Option qualifies as
an
ISO. Nonetheless, if the Option is
determined
not to be an ISO, the Employee understands that the Company and any Affiliates
are not responsible to compensate him or her or otherwise make up for the
treatment of the Option as a Non-qualified Option and not as an ISO. The
Employee should consult with the Employee's own tax advisors regarding the
tax
effects of the Option and the requirements necessary to obtain favorable tax
treatment under Section 422 of the Code, including, but not limited to, holding
period requirements.
10.
NOTICE
TO COMPANY OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION
The
Employee agrees to notify the Company in writing immediately after the Employee
makes a Disqualifying Disposition of any shares acquired pursuant to the
exercise of an Option. A Disqualifying Disposition is any disposition (including
any sale) of such shares before the later of (a) two years after the date the
Employee was granted the ISO, or (b) one year after the date the Employee
acquired shares by exercising the option. If the Employee has died before such
stock is sold, these holding period requirements do not apply and no
Disqualifying Disposition can occur thereafter.

NON-QUALIFIED
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
IMMUNOGEN,
INC.
AGREEMENT
made this «Grantdate»,
between
ImmunoGen, Inc. (the "Company"), a Massachusetts corporation having a principal
place of business in Cambridge, Massachusetts and «FirstName» «LastName»,
«Address»,
«City»,
«State» «Zip»
(the
"Employee").
WHEREAS,
the Company desires to grant to the Employee an option to purchase shares of
its
Common Stock, $.01 par value ("Common Stock"), under and for the purposes of
the
Company's Restated Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "Plan");
WHEREAS,
the Company and the Employee understand and agree that any terms used herein
and
not otherwise defined herein have the same meanings as in the Plan (the Employee
being referred to in the Plan as a "Participant");
WHEREAS,
the Company and the Employee each intend that the Option granted herein shall
be
a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and
for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
1. GRANT
OF OPTION
The
Company hereby grants to the Employee the right and Option to purchase all
or
any part of an aggregate of «NQ_Shares»
shares
(the "Shares") of Common Stock on the terms and conditions and subject to and
with the benefit of all limitations set forth herein and in the Plan, which
is
incorporated herein by reference. The Employee acknowledges receipt of a copy
of
the Plan.
2. PURCHASE
PRICE
The
purchase price of the Shares covered by the Option shall be «Price»
per
Share, subject to adjustment, as provided in the Plan, in the event of a stock
split, reverse stock split or other events affecting the holders of Common
Stock. Payment shall be made in accordance with Article 6 of the
Plan.
3. EXERCISE
OF OPTION
Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Option
granted hereby shall become exercisable cumulatively as follows:
provided,
however, that no part of the Option shall be exercisable after the termination
or expiration of the Option as hereinafter provided; and provided, further,
that
the Option may be exercised as to not more than «NQ_Shares»
Shares
in the aggregate from and after the date of this Agreement.
4. TERM
OF OPTION
The
Option shall terminate ten (10) years from the date of this Agreement but shall
be subject to earlier termination as provided herein or in the Plan. If the
Employee ceases to be an employee of the Company or of an Affiliate (for any
reason other than the death or Disability of the Employee or termination for
"cause" as defined in the Plan), the Option may be exercised, if it has not
previously terminated, within three (3) months after the date the Employee
ceases to be an employee, but may not be exercised thereafter. In such event,
the Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that the right to purchase
Shares under this Agreement has accrued and is in effect as of the date of
such
cessation of employment.
In
the
event that the Employee's employment is terminated for "cause" (as defined
in
the Plan), or, if subsequent to the termination of the Employee's employment
but
prior to the exercise of the Option it is determined that either prior or
subsequent to such termination the Employee engaged in conduct which would
constitute "cause" for the termination of the Employee's employment (such
determination to be made in accordance with Article 10 of the Plan), the
Employee's right to exercise any unexercised portion of this Option shall cease
forthwith, and this Option shall thereupon terminate.
In
the
event that the Employee's employment is terminated for any reason other than
death or Disability or for "cause," and the Employee subsequently becomes
Disabled or dies, the first paragraph of this Section 4 shall control and fix
the rights of the Employee, and nothing hereinafter set forth in this Section
4
(except the following provision) shall extend the period of exercisability
of
the Option; provided, however, in the case of the Employee's death within the
period allowed for exercise, the Employee's Survivors may exercise the Option
to
the extent permitted by the first paragraph of this Section 4 within, but only
within, six (6) months after the date of Employee's death.
In
the
event of the Disability of the Employee (as defined in the Plan and as
determined by the Board of Directors, and as to the fact and date of which
the
Employee is notified by the Board of Directors in writing), the Option shall
be
exercisable within one (1) year after the date of such Disability or, if
earlier, the term originally prescribed by this Agreement. In such event, the
Option shall be exercisable (1) to the extent that the right to purchase Shares
hereunder has accrued and is in effect as of such determination date and (2)
if
rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically under Section 3 hereof, to
the
extent of a pro rata portion of any additional rights which would have accrued
had the Employee not become so Disabled prior to the end of the accrual period
which next ends following the date of Disability. (The proration shall be made
on the basis of the number of days of the accrual period prior to the date
of
Disability.)
In
the
event of the death of the Employee while in the employ of the Company or of
an
Affiliate, the Option (1) to the extent exercisable but not exercised as of
the
date of death, and (2) if rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically
under Section 3 hereof, to the extent of a pro rata portion of any additional
rights based upon the number of days prior to the Employee's death and during
the accrual period which next ends following the date of death, may be exercised
by the Employee's Survivors as provided in the Plan. (The proration shall be
made on the basis of the number of days of the accrual period prior to the
Employee's death.) In such event, the Option must be exercised, if at all,
within one (1) year after the date of death of the Employee or, if earlier,
within the time originally prescribed by this Agreement.
5. EXERCISE
OF OPTION AND ISSUE OF SHARES
Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Option may be exercised
by
written notice to the Company, at the principal office address of the Company.
Such notice shall state the election to exercise the Option and the number
of
Shares in respect of which it is being exercised, shall be signed by the person
or persons so exercising the Option, shall contain the warranty, if any,
required by Section 6 of this Agreement and shall otherwise comply with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. Payment of the full
purchase price for such Shares shall be made in accordance with Article 6 of
the
Plan, and the Company shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing
such Shares as soon as practicable after the notice shall be received, provided,
however, that the Company may delay issuance of such Shares until completion
of
any action or obtaining of any consent, which the Company deems necessary under
any applicable law (including without limitation, state securities or "blue
sky"
laws).
The
certificate or certificates for the Shares as to which the Option shall have
been so exercised shall be registered in the name of the person or persons
so
exercising the Option (or, if the Option shall be exercised by the Employee
and
if the Employee shall so request in the notice exercising the Option, shall
be
registered in the name of the Employee and another person jointly, with right
of
survivorship) and shall be delivered as provided above to or upon the written
order of the person or persons exercising the Option. In the event the Option
shall be exercised, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, by any person or persons
other
than the Employee, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of
the
right of such person or persons to exercise the Option. All Shares that shall
be
purchased upon the exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully
paid
and nonassessable.
6. PURCHASE
FOR INVESTMENT
Unless
the offering and sale of the Shares to be issued upon the particular exercise
of
the Option shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act
of
1933 as now in force or hereafter amended (the "Act"), the Company shall be
under no obligation to issue the Shares covered by such exercise unless and
until the following conditions have been fulfilled:
(a) The
person(s) who exercise such Option shall warrant to the Company, prior to
receipt of the Shares, that such person(s) are acquiring such Shares for their
own respective accounts, for investment and not with a view to, or for sale
in
connection with, the distribution of any such Shares; and in such event the
person(s) acquiring such Shares shall be bound by the provisions of the
following legend which shall be endorsed upon the certificate or certificates
evidencing the Shares issued by the Company pursuant to such
exercise:
|
"The
shares represented by this certificate have been taken for investment
and
they may not be sold or otherwise transferred by any person, including
a
pledgee, in the absence of an effective registration statement for
the
shares under the Securities Act of 1933 or an opinion of counsel
satisfactory to the Company that an exemption from registration is
then
available."
|
(b) The
Company shall have received an opinion of its counsel that the Shares may be
issued upon such particular exercise in compliance with the Act without
registration thereunder.
7. RIGHTS
AS A SHAREHOLDER
The
Employee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares
covered by the Option, except after due exercise of the Option and provision
for
payment of the full purchase price for the Shares being purchased pursuant
to
such exercise.
8. ASSIGNABILITY
AND TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS
By
its
terms, the Option shall not be transferable by the Employee other than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act or the rules thereunder, and shall be exercisable, during
the Employee's lifetime, only by such Employee (or by his or her legal
representative). The Option shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated
in
any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject
to
execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted transfer, assignment,
pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option or of any rights
granted thereunder contrary to the provisions of this Section 8, or the levy
of
any attachment or similar process upon the Option, shall be null and
void.
