Exhibit 10.1

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED

EMBARCADERO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

1993 STOCK OPTION PLAN

(Amended June 23, 2003 to be effective November 1, 2003)

 

1. Purpose.

 

The purpose of the EMBARCADERO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 1993 STOCK OPTION PLAN (the
“Plan”) is to grant to selected employees, directors, and consultants of
EMBARCADERO TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), a
favorable opportunity to acquire Common Stock of the Company, thereby
encouraging such persons to accept or continue a productive relationship with
the Company, and furnishing such persons with an incentive to improve operations
and increase profits of the Company. Capitalized terms not previously defined
herein are defined in Section 18 of this Plan.

 

2. Options, Awards and Shares.

 

2.1 Number of Shares. Options (the “Options) and stock awards (the “Awards”)
granted under this Plan are for the purchase of Common Stock of the Company (the
“Shares”). Subject to adjustment as provided in this Plan, the aggregate number
of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Options or Awards granted under this
Plan is 11,300,000 Shares; which shall be cumulatively increased by 1,000,000
Shares on each of July 1, 2004, 2005 and 2006. If any Option or Award expires or
is terminated without being exercised in whole or in part, the unexercised or
released Shares from such Option or Award shall be available for future grant
and purchase under this Plan.

 

2.2 Individual Limitation. The Company may not grant Options covering in the
aggregate more than 300,000 Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in this
Plan) to any one participant in any one-year period.

 

2.3 Reservation of Shares. At all times during the term of this Plan, the
Company shall reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
required to satisfy the requirements of outstanding Options and Awards under
this Plan.

 

3. Administration.

 

The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”) or by a committee of the Board that is composed solely of two or more
Non-Employee Directors (in either case, the “Administrator”). As used in this
Plan, references to “Non-Employee Directors” shall have the meaning set forth in
Rule 16b-3 as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under
Section 16(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”). The interpretation by the Administrator of any of the
provisions of this Plan or any Option or Award granted under this Plan shall be
final and binding upon the Company and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

all persons having an interest in any option or any Shares purchased pursuant to
an Option or Award.

 

The Administrator may delegate nondiscretionary administrative duties to such
employees of the Company as it deems proper and may delegate the authority to
the Chief Executive Officer of the Company to grant Options to employees of, or
consultants to, the Company who are not officers or directors of the Company and
whose transactions in securities of the Company are not subject to Section 16 of
the Exchange Act. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator shall
have the sole authority, in its discretion:

 

(a) to determine to which of the eligible individuals, and the time or times at
which, Options shall be granted;

 

(b) to determine the number of Shares to be subject to Options granted to each
eligible individual;

 

(c) to determine the price to be paid for the shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of each Option;

 

(d) to determine the term and the exercise schedule of each Option;

 

(e) to determine the terms and conditions of each Option (which need not be
identical) entered into between the Company and any eligible individual to whom
the Administrator has granted an Option, subject to Section 15 hereof;

 

(f) to interpret the Plan;

 

(g) to accelerate the exercise date or schedule with respect to any Option
granted under the Plan or, with the consent of the holder thereof, to modify or
amend any such Option;

 

(h) to make all determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan;

 

(i) to determine whether Optionee has ceased to be employed by the Company or
any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company and the effective date on
which such employment terminated; and

 

(j) to determine whether an Optionee, who is a director, consultant or advisor
of the Company, is “employed by the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company” pursuant to the foregoing Sections.

 

4. Eligibility.

 

Options may be granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants and
advisers (provided such consultants and advisers render bona fide services not
in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising
transaction) of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate

 

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of the Company. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the
Company or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company. The Administrator in its sole
discretion shall select the recipients of Options (“Optionees”). An Optionee may
be granted more than one Option under this Plan. The Company may also, from time
to time, assume outstanding options granted by another company, whether in
connection with an acquisition of such other company or otherwise, by either (a)
granting an Option under this Plan in replacement of the option assumed by the
Company, or (b) treating the assumed option as if it had been granted under this
Plan if the terms of such assumed option could be applied to an Option granted
under this Plan. Such assumption shall be permissible if the holder of the
assumed option would have been eligible to be granted an Option hereunder if the
other company had applied the rules of this Plan to such grant.

 

5. Terms and Conditions of Options.

 

5.1 Option Grant. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a
written stock option grant agreement. Each such agreement shall designate the
Option thereby granted as a Common Stock option and shall indicate whether such
Option is an Incentive Stock Option or Nonqualified Option; provided, however,
that no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted after November 1, 2003. Each
such Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Section 5, and to such other terms and conditions not inconsistent herewith as
the Administrator may deem appropriate in each case.

 

5.2 Date of Option. The date of grant of an Option shall be the date on which
the Administrator makes the determination to grant such Option unless otherwise
specified by the Administrator. The written Option agreement representing the
Option will be delivered to Optionee with a copy of this Plan within a
reasonable time after the granting of the Option.

 

5.3 Exercise Price. The exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option shall be not
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Option is
granted. The exercise price of a Nonqualified Stock Option granted prior to the
time the Company’s Common Stock is listed or approved for listing on the Nasdaq
National Market shall be not less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of the
Shares on the date the Option is granted. The exercise price of any Option
granted to a person owning more than 10% of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company
(“Ten Percent Shareholder”) shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value
of the Shares on the date the Option is granted. For purposes of this Section
5.3, in determining stock ownership, an Optionee shall be considered as owning
the voting capital stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for his brothers
and sisters, spouse, ancestors and lineal descendants. Voting capital stock
owned, directly or indirectly, by or for a corporation, partnership, estate or
trust shall be considered as being owned proportionately by or for its
shareholders, partners or beneficiaries, as applicable. Common Stock with
respect to which any such Optionee holds an Option shall not be counted.
Additionally, for purposes of this Section 5.3, outstanding capital stock shall
include all capital stock actually issued and outstanding immediately after the
grant of the Option to the Optionee. Outstanding capital stock shall not include
capital stock authorized for issue under outstanding Options held by the
Optionee or by any other person.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.4 Exercise Period. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, Options shall
be exercisable within the times or upon the events determined by the
Administrator as set forth in the Option agreement. No Option shall be
exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Option is
granted.

 

5.5 Options Non-Transferable. Except as otherwise determined by the
Administrator and expressly set forth in the Option agreement, options granted
under this Plan, and any interest therein, shall not be transferable or
assignable by Optionee, and may not be made subject to execution, attachment or
similar process, otherwise 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 1 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules
thereunder, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionee only by
Optionee.

 

5.6 Assumed Options. In the event the Company assumes an option granted by
another company, the exercise price and the number and nature of shares issuable
upon exercise, of such assumed option will be adjusted appropriately pursuant to
the Code. In the event the Company elects to grant a new option rather than
assuming an existing option (as specified in Section 4), such new option need
not be granted at Fair Market Value on the date of grant and may instead be
granted with a similarly adjusted exercise price.

 

6. Exercise of Options.

 

6.1 Notice. Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company of a
written stock option exercise agreement (the “Exercise Agreement”) in a form
approved by the Administrator (which need not be the same for each Optionee),
stating the number of Shares being purchased, the restrictions imposed on the
Shares, if any, and such representations and agreements regarding Optionee’s
investment intent and access to information, if any, as may be required by the
Company to comply with applicable securities laws, together with payment in full
of the exercise price for the number of shares being purchased.

 

6.2 Payment. Payment for the Shares may be made in cash (by check) or, where
approved by the Administrator in its sole discretion and where permitted by law:
(a) by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Optionee; (b) by
surrender of shares of common stock of the Company having a Fair Market Value
equal to the applicable exercise price of the Option that have been owned by
Optionee for more than six months (and which have been paid for within the
meaning of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 144 and, if such
Shares were purchased from the Company by use of a promissory note, such note
has been fully paid with respect to such shares), or were obtained by Optionee
in the open public market; (c) by waiver of compensation due or accrued to
Optionee for services rendered; (d) provided that a public market for the
Company’s stock exists, through a “same day sale” commitment from Optionee and a
broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers
(an “NASD Dealer”) whereby Optionee irrevocable elects to exercise the Option
and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the exercise price
and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to
forward the exercise price directly to the Company; (e) provided that a public
market for the Company’s stock exists, through a “margin

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

commitment” from Optionee and an NASD Dealer whereby Optionee irrevocable elects
to exercise the Option and to pledge the Shares so purchased to the NASD Dealer
in a margin account as security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of
the exercise price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt
of such Shares to forward the exercise price directly to the Company (provided
that if the Company extends or arranges for credit to an Optionee under such a
program, no officer or director of the Company may participate in such program);
or (f) by any combination of the foregoing.

 

6.3 Withholding Taxes. Prior to issuance of the Shares upon exercise of an
Option, Optionee shall pay or make adequate provision for any federal or state
withholding obligations of the Company, if applicable. Where approved by the
Administrator in its sole discretion, Optionee may provide for payment of
withholding taxes upon exercise of the Option by requesting that the Company
retain Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of taxes the
Administrator determines is, in its discretion, required to be withheld. In such
case, the Company shall issue the net number of Shares to Optionee by deducting
the Shares retained from the Shares exercised.

 

6.4 Limitations on Exercise. Notwithstanding the exercise periods set forth in
the Option, exercise of an Option shall always be subject to the following:

 

6.4.1 If Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company for any reason except death or disability, Optionee
may exercise such Optionee’s ISOs to the extent (and only to the extent) that
they would have been exercisable upon the date of termination, within 90 days
after the date of termination (or such shorter time period as may be specified
in the Option);

 

 

6.4.2 If Optionee’s employment with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company is terminated because of the death of Optionee or
disability (as defined in Section 22 (e) (3) of the Code) of Optionee,
Optionee’s Options may be exercised to the extent (and only to the extent) that
they would have been exercisable by Optionee on the date of termination, by
Optionee (or Optionee’s legal representative) within one year after the date of
termination (or such shorter time period as may be specified in the Option), but
in any event no later than the expiration date of the Options.

 

7. Securities Law Requirements.

 

No Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of any Option unless and until
counsel for the Company determines that:

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a) the Company and the Optionee have satisfied all applicable requirements
under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;

 

(b) any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange on which the
Company’s Common Stock is listed has been satisfied; and

 

(c) all other applicable provisions of state and federal law have been
satisfied.

 

8. Restrictions on Shares.

 

At the discretion of the Administrator, the Company may reserve to itself and/or
its assignee(s) in the Option agreement a right to repurchase a portion of or
all Shares held by an Optionee upon Optionee’s termination of employment or
service with the Company, or a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company
for any reason, within a specified time as determined by the Administrator at
the time of grant, at Optionee’s original purchase price, the Fair Market Value
of such Shares or a price determined by a formula or other provision set forth
in the Grant.

 

9. Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options.

 

The Administrator shall have the power to accelerate the exercise date or
schedule of any outstanding Option, or to otherwise modify, extend or renew
outstanding Options and to authorize the grant of new Options in substitution
therefor, provided that any such action may not, without the written consent of
Optionee, impair any rights under any Option previously granted. The
Administrator shall have the power to reduce the exercise price of outstanding
Options without the consent of Optionees by a written notice to the Optionees
affected; provided, however, that the exercise price per Share may not be
reduced below the minimum exercise price that would be permitted under Section
5.3 of this Plan for Options granted on the date the action is taken to reduce
the exercise price.

 

10. Stock Ownership.

 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan and except as provided in this
Section 10, no Optionee shall have any of the rights of a shareholder (including
the right to vote and receive dividends) of the Company, by reason of the
provisions of this Plan or any action taken hereunder, until the date such
Optionee shall both have paid the exercise price for the Common Stock and shall
have been issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the
Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) the stock
certificate evidencing such shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to such date,
except as provided in this Plan.

 

11. No Obligation to Employ.

 

Nothing in this Plan or any Option granted under this Plan shall confer on any
Optionee any right to continue in the employ of, or other relationship with, the
Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, nor limit or
otherwise impair the right of the Company, or any Parent, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company to terminate Optionee’s employment or other
relationship at any time, with or without cause.

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization or Change in Control.

 

12.1 Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the Company’s
shareholders, the number of Shares of Common Stock covered by this Plan as
provided in Section 2, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option
granted hereunder and the exercise price thereof shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock
resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination
or reclassification of the shares or the payment of a stock dividend (but only
on the Common Stock) or any other increase or decrease in the number of such
outstanding shares of Common Stock effected without the receipt of consideration
by the Company; provided, however, that the conversion of any convertible
securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without
receipt of consideration”.

 

12.2 Effect of Triggering Event. In the event of a Triggering Event each option
granted hereunder shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the
successor entity (including as a “successor” any purchaser of substantially all
of the assets of the Company) or a parent or subsidiary of the successor entity.
In the event that the successor does not assume or substitute for the Option,
the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option as to 100% of the
shares of Common Stock covered by the Option, including shares as to which it
would not otherwise be exercisable. If an Option is exercisable in lieu of
assumption or substitution in the event of a merger, sale of assets or other
transaction, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee that the Option shall
be fully exercisable for a period of at least 20 days from the date of such
notice, and the Option shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For
the purposes of this paragraph, the Option shall be considered assumed if,
following the merger, sale of assets, or other transaction, the Option confers
the right to purchase or receive, for each share of Common Stock subject to the
Option immediately prior to the merger, sale of assets, or other transaction,
the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property)
received in such transaction by holders of Common Stock for each share held on
the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of
consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received
was not solely common stock of the successor entity or its parent entity, the
Option shall also be deemed assumed if the Administrator, with the consent of
the successor corporation, provides for the consideration to be received upon
the exercise of the Option, for each share of Common Stock subject to the
Option, to be solely common stock of the successor entity or its parent entity
equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of
Common Stock in the merger, sale of assets or other transaction.

 

12.3 Expiration. In the event the Company is ceasing to exist as a separate
corporate entity, then notwithstanding any contrary terms in the Option, each of
the Options granted hereunder shall expire on a date at least 20 days after the
Board gives written notice to Optionees, specifying the terms and conditions of
such termination.

 

13. Stock Awards.

 

Awards may be granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants and
advisers (provided such consultants and advisers render bona fide services not
in connection with the offer and sale of

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

securities in a capital-raising transaction) of the Company or any Parent,
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company. In no event will the purchase price of
any Award be less than the par value of the Shares issuable under the Award. No
Award shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the date
the Award is granted. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, Awards shall
be exercisable within the times and upon the events determined by the
Administrator as set forth in the Award. Payment for exercising an Award may be
made in cash (by check) or, where approved by the Administrator in its sole
discretion and where permitted by law, by any of the methods permitted with
respect to payment for Options pursuant to Section 6.2. Except as determined by
the Administrator and expressly set forth in the Award agreement, no Award shall
be assignable or otherwise transferable otherwise than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. Awards shall be subject to all other applicable terms
and conditions of this Plan.

 

14. Governing Law.

 

This Plan and the Options and Awards granted pursuant hereto shall be governed
by California law, except for that body of law pertaining to conflict of laws.

 

15. Amendment or Termination of Plan.

 

The Board may terminate the Plan or amend the Plan from time to time in such
respects as the Board may deem advisable, except that, without the approval of
the Company’s shareholders in compliance with the requirements of applicable
law, no such revision or amendment shall amend this Plan in any manner that
requires shareholder approval pursuant to the Code or the regulations
promulgated thereunder as such provisions apply to Invention Stock Option plans,
without obtaining such shareholder approval.

 

16. Reservation of Shares.

 

The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep
available such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be sufficient to
satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

 

17. Effective Date.

 

The Company’s 1993 Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on
November 1, 1993. This Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Option Plan was adopted
by the Board of Directors of the Company on June 23, 2003 to be effective
November 1, 2003.

 

18. Certain Definitions.

 

As used in this Plan, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

18.1 “Parent” means any corporation (other than the Company) in an unbroken
chain of corporations ending with the Company, if, at the time of the granting
of the Option, each of such corporations other than the Company owns stock
possession 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock in one of the other corporations in such chain.

 

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

18.2 “Subsidiary” means any corporation (other than the Company) in an unbroken
chain of corporations beginning with the Company if, at the time of granting of
the Option, each of the corporations other than the last corporation in the
unbroken chain owns stock possessing 50% or more of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain.

 

18.3 “Affiliate” means any corporation that directly, or indirectly through one
or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control
with, another corporation, where “control” (including the terms “controlled by”
and “under common control with”) means the possession, direct or indirect, of
the power to cause the direction of the management and policies of the
corporation, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or
otherwise.

 

18.4 “Fair Market Value” shall mean the fair market value of the Shares as
determined by the Administrator from time to time in good faith. If a public
market exists for the Shares, the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the
last reported bid and asked prices for common stock of the Company on the last
trading day prior to the date of determination (or the average closing price
over the number of consecutive working days preceding the date of determination
as the Administrator shall deem appropriate) or, in the event the common stock
of the Company is listed on a stock exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market
System, the Fair Market Value shall be the closing price on such exchange or
quotation system on the last trading day prior to the date of determination (or
the average closing price over the number of consecutive working days preceding
the date of determination as the Administrator shall deem appropriate).

 

18.5 “Triggering Event” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following:

 

(i) Any person or entity acquires ownership or control, directly or indirectly,
of securities of the Company (or a successor to the Company) representing 50% or
more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the
Company or such successor; and

 

(ii) (a) a sale or disposition of assets of the Company involving all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; (b) any merger or reorganization
of Company or other transaction pursuant to which all of the shareholders of the
Company immediately prior to the transaction, hold (immediately after the
transaction) less than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company or any
successor Company; and (c) any other event or transaction which the Board
determines, in its discretion, would materially alter the structure, ownership
or control of the Company.
