Exhibit 10.30

 

JetPay Corporation

 

Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement

(“Award Agreement”)

______________________________________

 

JetPay Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) hereby grants to
_____________________(the “Optionee”) a stock option (the “Option”) to purchase
a total of _________shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.001 per
share (the “Shares”) at the price of ______per share, pursuant to the Company’s
2013 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “Plan”). The Option is subject to
the applicable terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein
by reference, and in the event of any contradiction, distinction or difference
between this Award Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan
will control, unless it is otherwise specified in the Plan that such
contradiction, distinction or difference is allowed. All capitalized terms used
herein have the meanings set forth herein or in the Plan. As used herein, the
term “Company” includes any Affiliates of the Company.

 

1.          Vesting.

 

For as long as the Optionee remains employed by the Company, the Option shall
vest according to the following schedule:

 

(a)          _______of the Option shall vest on each anniversary of the option
grant date (provided that fractional shares shall be rounded down to the nearest
whole share).

(b)          Notwithstanding the above vesting schedule, any then-remaining
unvested portion of the Option shall vest immediately upon a Change in Control.

 

2.          Duration.

 

(a)          As to any portion of the Shares, the Option granted hereby shall
first become exercisable on the date of vesting set forth above, provided that
the Option has not terminated as set forth in Section 6 of this Award Agreement
prior to the time of vesting or exercise.

 

(b)          The Option shall expire on the earlier of the dates set forth in
Section 6 of this Award Agreement and ten years from the date of this Agreement
(“the Termination Date”).

3.          Exercise.

 

All or part of the exercisable portion of the Option may be exercised by the
Optionee upon duly executed written notice of such exercise, in a form
acceptable to the Secretary or Treasurer of the Company, at its principal
office. The notice shall specify the number of Shares for which the Option is
being exercised (which number, if less than all of the Shares then subject to
exercise, shall be 100 or a multiple thereof) and shall be accompanied by
payment in full of the purchase price of such Shares. If a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933 is not then in effect with respect to
the Shares issuable upon such exercise, it shall be a condition precedent that
the person exercising the Option give to the Company a written representation
and undertaking, satisfactory in form and substance to the Board that he or she
is acquiring the shares for his or her own account for investment and not with a
view to the distribution thereof. Upon full compliance by the Optionee, a
certificate for the Shares purchased shall be delivered or mailed to the
Optionee. The method of payment of the purchase price for the applicable Shares
shall be payment (a) in United States dollars in cash or by check, bank draft or
money order payable to the order of the corporation, or (b) by delivering a
properly executed notice of exercise of the Option to the Company and a broker,
with irrevocable instructions to the broker promptly to deliver to the Company
the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay the exercise price of the
Option. If the Optionee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the
Optionee may direct the Company to withhold Shares otherwise to be delivered to
him or her upon the exercise of all or part of the exercisable portion of the
Option in order to pay the exercise price and/or withholding taxes due on such
Option.

 

4.          Withholding.

 

The Company’s obligation to deliver Shares upon the exercise of the Option shall
be subject to applicable federal, state, and local tax withholding requirements,
which may be satisfied by withholding shares that otherwise would be delivered
upon the exercise of the Option, subject to the approval of the Committee
(except as set forth above).

 

5.          Certain Rights Not Conferred by Option.

 

The Optionee shall not, by virtue of holding this Option, be entitled to any
rights of a stockholder in the Company. Any person exercising an Option shall
not be considered a record holder of the Shares so purchased for any purpose
until the date on which he or she is actually recorded as the holder of such
Shares in the records of the Company.

 

6.          Termination of Employment.

 

(a)          Nothing in this letter shall confer on the Optionee the right to
continue in the service of the Company or interfere in any way with the right of
the Company to terminate the Optionee’s service at any time. If the Optionee’s
employment with the Company terminates for any reason, this Option shall be
canceled and shall terminate for no further consideration to the extent of the
number of Shares covered by this Award Agreement which were not vested on the
date of such termination of employment.

(b)          If the Optionee’s employment with the Company terminates by reason
of Cause, as hereinafter defined, this Option shall remain exercisable to the
extent of the number of Shares covered by this Agreement which were vested on
the date of such termination of employment until the first to occur of (i) three
months after the date of such termination of employment or (ii) ten years from
the date of this Award Agreement. If any portion of the Option is not exercised
within such time period, such portion shall not thereafter be exercisable and
the Option shall be canceled and shall terminate for no further consideration.
For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Cause” shall mean that the Optionee has
(i) engaged in any type of disloyalty to the Company or a subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company, including without limitation fraud, embezzlement,
theft, or dishonesty in the course of his employment or service to the Company
or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; (ii) been convicted of a felony;
(iii) disclosed any proprietary information of the Company or a subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company, without the consent of the Company or a subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company; or (iv) breached the terms of any written
confidentiality agreement or any non-competition agreement with the Company or a
subsidiary or affiliate of the Company in any material respect.

 

(d)          If the Optionee’s employment with the Company terminates for any
reason other than Cause, this Option shall remain exercisable by the Optionee or
the Optionee’s personal representative or representatives to the extent of the
number of Shares covered by this Agreement which were vested on the date of such
termination of employment until ten years from the date of this Award Agreement.
If any portion of the Option is not exercised within such time period, such
portion shall not thereafter be exercisable and the Option shall be canceled and
shall terminate for no further consideration.

 

7.          Acceptance of Terms; Compliance with Law.

 

The acceptance by the Optionee of this option shall constitute the acceptance of
and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein and in the
Plan. The Company may impose any additional conditions or restrictions on the
Award or the exercise of the Option as it deems necessary or advisable to ensure
that all rights granted under the Plan satisfy the requirements of applicable
securities laws. The Company shall not be obligated to issue or deliver any
Shares if such action violates any provision of any law or regulation of any
governmental authority or national securities exchange.

 

8.          Lost Award Agreement.

 

Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Award Agreement and upon delivery of a bond of
indemnity satisfactory to the Company (or, in the case of mutilation, upon
surrender of this Award Agreement), the Company will issue to the holder a
replacement Award Agreement (containing the same terms as this Award Agreement).

 

9.          Choice of Law.

 

This Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
internal laws (and not the principles relating to conflicts of laws) of the
State of Delaware, except as superseded by applicable federal law. This Award
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its
successors and assigns and the Optionee and his or her heirs and legal
representatives, subject to the restrictions on assignability and
transferability set forth in the Plan.
