AGREEMENT

 

1. Definitions. All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the attached Appendix.

 

2. Grant of Warrant. The Corporation hereby grants to the person identified on attached Stock Warrant Agreement Form (the “Warrantee”) a Non-Statutory Warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock under this Agreement. The date on which this Warrant is granted (the “Grant Date”), the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”), the exercise price payable per share (the “Exercise Price”), the applicable vesting schedule by which this Warrant shall vest and become exercisable incrementally for the Warrant Shares (the “Vesting Schedule”) and the date to be used to measure the maximum term of this Warrant (the “Expiration Date”) are also indicated on attached Stock Warrant Agreement Form to this Agreement. The Warrant is a non-statutory Warrant under the US federal income tax laws. The remaining terms and conditions governing this Warrant shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

 

3. Warrant Term. The term of this Warrant shall commence on the Grant Date and continue to be in effect until the close of business on the last business day prior to the Expiration Date specified in attached Stock Warrant Agreement Form, unless sooner terminated in accordance with Paragraph 6 or 7 below.

 

4. Limited Transferability.

 

(a) This Warrant may be assigned in whole or in part during Warrantee’s lifetime to a Living Trust. The assigned portion may only be exercised by the Living Trust. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the Warrant immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents to be executed by the Warrantee and the Living Trust as the Corporation may deem appropriate.

 

(b) Except for the limited transferability provided herein, this Warrant shall be neither transferable nor assignable by Warrantee other than by will or the laws of inheritance following Warrantee’s death and may be exercised, during Warrantee’s lifetime, only by Warrantee. However, Warrantee may designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of this Warrant by completing the Corporation’s Universal Beneficiary Designation form and filing the completed form with the Corporation’s Human Resources Department. Should Warrantee file such Universal Beneficiary Designation form and die while holding this Warrant, then this Warrant shall automatically be transferred to the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred Warrant subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which this Warrant may, pursuant to Paragraph 6 below, be exercised following Warrantee’s death.

5. Dates of Exercise. This Warrant shall vest and become exercisable for the Warrant Shares in a series of installments in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in attached Stock Warrant Agreement Form. As the Warrant vests and becomes exercisable for such installments, those installments shall accumulate, and the Warrant shall remain exercisable for the accumulated installments until the last business day prior to the Expiration Date or any sooner termination of the Warrant term under Paragraph 6 or 7 below.

 

6. Cessation of Service. The Warrant term specified in Paragraph 3 above shall terminate (and this Warrant shall cease to be outstanding) prior to the Expiration Date should any of the following provisions become applicable:

 

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in subparagraphs (b) through (f) of this Paragraph 6, should Warrantee cease to remain in Continuous Service for any reason while this Warrant is outstanding, then Warrantee shall have until the close of business on the last business day prior to the expiration of the three-month period measured from the date of such cessation of Continuous Service during which to exercise this Warrant for any or all of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is vested and exercisable at the time of Warrantee’s cessation of Continuous Service, but in no event shall this Warrant be exercisable at any time after the close of business on the last business day prior to the Expiration Date.

 

(b) In the event Warrantee ceases Continuous Service by reason of his or her death while this Warrant is outstanding, then this Warrant may be exercised, for any or all of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is vested and exercisable at the time of Warrantee’s cessation of Continuous Service, by (i) the personal representative of Warrantee’s estate or (ii) the person or persons to whom the Warrant is transferred pursuant to Warrantee’s will or the laws of inheritance following Warrantee’s death. However, if Warrantee dies while holding this Warrant and has an effective beneficiary designation in effect for this Warrant at the time of his or her death, then the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries shall have the exclusive right to exercise this Warrant following Warrantee’s death. Any such right to exercise this Warrant shall lapse, and this Warrant shall cease to be outstanding, upon the close of business on the last business day prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the twelve-month period measured from the date of Warrantee’s death or (ii) the Expiration Date. Upon the expiration of such limited exercise period, this Warrant shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any exercisable Warrant Shares for which the Warrant has not otherwise been exercised.

 

(c) Should Warrantee cease Continuous Service by reason of Permanent Disability while this Warrant is outstanding, then Warrantee shall have until the close of business on the last business day prior to the expiration of the twelve-month period measured from the date of such cessation of Continuous Service during which to exercise this Warrant for any or all of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is vested and exercisable at the time of such cessation of Continuous Service. In no event, however, shall this Warrant be exercisable at any time after the close of business on the last business day prior to the Expiration Date.

 

(d) Except as otherwise precluded by Applicable Laws, should (i) Warrantee cease Continuous Service after completion of at least three (3) years of Continuous Service and (ii) the sum of Warrantee’s attained age and completed years of Continuous Service at the time of such cessation of service equals or exceeds seventy (70) years, then Warrantee shall have until the close of business on the last business day prior to the expiration of the thirty-six-month period measured from the date of such cessation of Continuous Service during which to exercise this Warrant for any or all of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is vested and exercisable at the time of such cessation of Continuous Service. In no event, however, shall this Warrant be exercisable at any time after the close of business on the last business day prior to the Expiration Date.

 

(e) The applicable period of post-service exercisability in effect pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 6 shall automatically be extended by an additional period of time equal in duration to any interval within such post-service exercise period during which the exercise of this Warrant or the immediate sale of the Warrant Shares acquired under this Warrant cannot be effected in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, but in no event shall such an extension result in the continuation of this Warrant beyond the close of business on the last business day prior to the Expiration Date.

 

(f) Should Warrantee’s Continuous Service be terminated for Cause, or should Warrantee engage in any other conduct, while in Continuous Service or following cessation of Continuous Service, that is materially detrimental to the business or affairs of the Corporation (or any Related Entity), as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator, then this Warrant, whether or not vested and exercisable at the time, shall terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding.

 

 
2

 

 

(g) During the limited period of post-service exercisability provided under this Paragraph 6, this Warrant may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is at the time vested and exercisable. Except to the extent (if any) specifically authorized by the Administrator pursuant to an express written agreement with the Warrantee, this Warrant shall not vest or become exercisable for any additional Warrant Shares, whether pursuant to the normal Vesting Schedule set forth in attached Stock Warrant Agreement Form or the special vesting acceleration provisions of Paragraph 7 below, following Warrantee’s cessation of Continuous Service. Upon the expiration of such limited exercise period or (if earlier) upon the close of business on the last business day prior to the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any exercisable Warrant Shares for which the Warrant has not otherwise been exercised.

 

7. Special Acceleration of Warrant.

 

(a) This Warrant, to the extent outstanding at the time of an actual Change in Control but not otherwise fully exercisable, shall automatically accelerate so that this Warrant shall, immediately prior to the effective date of such Change in Control, become exercisable for all of the Warrant Shares at the time subject to this Warrant and may be exercised for any or all of those Warrant Shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. However, this Warrant shall not become exercisable on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) this Warrant is to be assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or is otherwise to continue in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction, (ii) this Warrant is to be replaced with an economically-equivalent substitute award or (iii) this Warrant is to be replaced with a cash retention program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing at the time of the Change in Control on any Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is not otherwise at that time vested and exercisable (the excess of the Fair Market Value of those Warrant Shares over the aggregate Exercise Price payable for such shares) and provides for the subsequent vesting and concurrent payout of that spread in accordance with the same Vesting Schedule for those Warrant Shares as set forth in attached Stock Warrant Agreement Form.

 

(b) Immediately following the consummation of the Change in Control, this Warrant shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction.

 

(c) If this Warrant is assumed in connection with a Change in Control or otherwise continued in effect, then this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities into which the shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant would have been converted in consummation of such Change in Control had those shares actually been outstanding at the time. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption or continuation of this Warrant but subject to the Administrator’s approval, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control, provided such common stock is readily tradable on an established U.S. securities exchange or market.

 

(d) If this Warrant is assumed or otherwise continued in effect in connection with a Change in Control or replaced with an economically equivalent award or a cash retention program in accordance with Paragraph 7(a) above, then:

 

i. the Warrant (or such economically equivalent award) shall vest and become immediately exercisable for all of the Warrant Shares or other securities at the time subject to the Warrant (or such award) and may, within the applicable exercise period under Paragraph 7, be exercised for any or all of those Warrant Shares or other securities as fully vested shares or securities, or

 

ii. the balance credited to Warrantee under any cash retention program established pursuant to Paragraph 7(a) shall immediately be paid to Warrantee in a lump sum, subject to the Corporation’s collection of all applicable Withholding Taxes; if, within the period beginning with the execution date of the definitive agreement for the Change in Control transaction and ending with the earlier of (i) the termination of that definitive agreement without the consummation of such Change in Control or (ii) the expiration of the applicable acceleration period following the consummation of such Change in Control, Warrantee’s Continuous Service terminates due to an involuntary termination (other than for death or Permanent Disability) without Cause or a voluntary termination by Warrantee due to Constructive Termination.

(e) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

 

8. Adjustment in Warrant Shares. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares, spin-off transaction, or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, or should the value of outstanding shares of Common Stock be substantially reduced as a result of a spin-off transaction or an extraordinary dividend or distribution, or should there occur any merger, consolidation or other reorganization, then equitable and proportional adjustments shall be made by the Administrator to (i) the total number and/or class of securities subject to this Warrant and (ii) the Exercise Price. The adjustments shall be made in such manner as the Administrator deems appropriate in order to reflect such change and thereby prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder, and those adjustments shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon Warrantee and any other person or persons having an interest in the Warrant. In the event of any Change in Control transaction, the adjustment provisions of Paragraph 7(c) above shall be controlling.

 

9. Stockholder Rights. The holder of this Warrant shall not have any stockholder rights with respect to the Warrant Shares until such person shall have exercised the Warrant, paid the Exercise Price, and become a holder of record of the purchased shares.

 

10. Manner of Exercising Warrant.

 

(a) In order to exercise this Warrant with respect to all or any part of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is at the time exercisable, Warrantee (or any other person or persons exercising the Warrant) must take the following actions:

 

i. Execute and deliver to the Corporation a Form of Stock Purchase as to the Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is exercised or comply with such other procedures as the Corporation may establish for notifying the Corporation, either directly or through an on-line internet transaction with a brokerage firm authorized by the Corporation to put into effect such Warrant exercises, of the exercise of this Warrant for one or more Warrant Shares.

 

ii. Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased shares in one or more of the following forms:

 

a. Cash/Check: cash or check made payable to the Corporation. To the extent the sale and remittance procedure is utilized in connection with the Warrant exercise, payment of the Exercise Price, if not a cashless exercise, must accompany the Form of Stock Purchase (or other notification procedure) delivered to the Corporation in connection with the Warrant exercise;

 

b. Cashless Exercise: through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which Warrantee (or any other person or persons exercising the Warrant) shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (i) to a brokerage firm (reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation for purposes of administering such procedure in accordance with the Corporation’s pre-clearance/pre-notification policies) to effect the immediate sale of all or a sufficient portion of the purchased shares so that such brokerage firm can remit to the Corporation, on the settlement date, sufficient funds out of the resulting sale proceeds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for all the purchased shares, and (ii) to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm on such settlement date;

iii. Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation that the person or persons exercising the Warrant (if other than Warrantee) have the right to exercise this Warrant.

 

iv. Warrantee shall accommodate and shall be solely responsible for the satisfaction of all applicable Withholding Taxes.

 

(b) As soon as practical after the Exercise Date, the Corporation shall issue to or on behalf of Warrantee (or any other person or persons exercising this Warrant) a certificate for the purchased Warrant Shares (either in paper or electronic form), with the appropriate legends affixed thereto.

 

(c) In no event may this Warrant be exercised for any fractional shares.

 

11. Compliance with Laws and Regulations.

 

(a) The exercise of this Warrant and the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance by the Corporation and Warrantee with all Applicable Laws relating thereto.

 

(b) The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this Warrant shall relieve the Corporation of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Corporation, however, shall use its best efforts to obtain all such approvals.

 

12. Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Paragraphs 4 and 7 above, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Corporation and its successors and assigns and Warrantee, Warrantee’s assigns, the legal representatives, heirs, and legatees of Warrantee’s estate and any beneficiaries of this Warrant designated by Warrantee.

All notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or delivery through the Corporation’s electronic mail system or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

16. Jurisdiction/Venue. Any suit, action, or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought in any federal or state court located in the County of Saint Johns or Duval, in the State of Florida, and Warrantee hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action, or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action, or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action, or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.

 

17. Excess Shares. If the Warrant Shares covered by this Agreement exceed, as of the Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock which may without stockholder approval be issued under this Agreement, then this Warrant shall be void with respect to those excess shares, unless stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under this Agreement is obtained in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In no event shall the Warrant be exercisable with respect to any of the excess Warrant Shares unless and until such stockholder approval is obtained.

18. Leaves of Absence. The following provisions shall govern leaves of absence, except to the extent the application of such provisions to Warrantee would contravene Applicable Laws.

(b) In no event shall Warrantee be deemed to remain in Continuous Service at any time after the earlier of (i) the expiration date of his or her leave of absence, unless Warrantee returns to active Continuous Service on or before that date, or (ii) the date Warrantee’s Continuous Service actually terminates by reason of his or her voluntary or involuntary termination or by reason of his or her death or disability.

 

19. Employment at Will. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon Warrantee any right to remain in Employee status for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Related Entity employing Warrantee) or of Warrantee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate Warrantee’s active status at any time for any reason, with or without Cause.
