Exhibit 4.1




StemCells, Inc.




AMENDED AND RESTATED

2006 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN





	1.	 	DEFINED TERMS





     Exhibit A, which is incorporated by reference, defines the terms used in the Plan and sets
forth certain operational rules related to those terms.


2. PURPOSE




     The Plan has been established to advance the interests of the Company by providing for the
grant to Participants of Stock-based and other incentive Awards.



3. ADMINISTRATION




     The Administrator has discretionary authority, subject only to the express provisions of the
Plan, to interpret the Plan; determine eligibility for and grant Awards; determine, modify or waive
the terms and conditions of any Award; prescribe forms, rules and procedures; and otherwise do all
things necessary to carry out the purposes of the Plan. In the case of any Award intended to be
eligible for the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m), the Administrator
will exercise its discretion consistent with qualifying the Award for that exception.
Determinations of the Administrator made under the Plan will be conclusive and will bind all
parties.




	4.	 	LIMITS ON AWARDS UNDER THE PLAN





     (a)     Number of Shares. The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered in
satisfaction of Awards under the Plan is equal to six million (6,000,000) plus an annual increase
on each January 1 (beginning January 1, 2008) equal to four percent (4%) of the number of then
outstanding shares of Stock. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, no more than thirty million
(30,000,000) shares of Stock may be delivered in satisfaction of ISOs awarded under the Plan. The
number of shares of Stock delivered in satisfaction of Awards shall, for purposes of the preceding
sentence, be determined net of shares of Stock withheld by the Company in payment of the exercise
price of the Award or in satisfaction of tax withholding requirements with respect to the Award.
The limit set forth in this Section 4(a) shall be construed to comply with Section 422 of the Code
and regulations thereunder. To the extent consistent with the requirements of Section 422 of the
Code and regulations thereunder, and with other applicable legal requirements (including applicable
stock exchange requirements), Stock issued under awards of an acquired company that are converted,
replaced, or adjusted in connection with the acquisition shall not reduce the number of shares
available for Awards under the Plan.



Page 1









 





     (b)     Type of Shares. Stock delivered by the Company under the Plan may be authorized
but unissued Stock or previously issued Stock acquired by the Company. No fractional shares of
Stock will be delivered under the Plan.



     (c)     Section 162(m) Limits. The maximum number of shares of Stock for which Stock
Options may be granted to any person in any calendar year and the maximum number of shares of Stock
subject to SARs granted to any person in any calendar year will each be one million (1,000,000).
The maximum number of shares subject to other Awards granted to any person in any calendar year
will be one million (1,000,000). The maximum amount payable to any person in any year under Cash
Awards will be one million dollars ($1,000,000). The foregoing provisions will be construed in a
manner consistent with Section 162(m).




	5.	 	ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION





     The Administrator will select Participants from among those Employees and directors of, and
consultants and advisors to, the Company or its Affiliates who, in the opinion of the
Administrator, are in a position to make a significant contribution to the success of the Company
and its Affiliates. Eligibility for ISOs is limited to employees of the Company or of a “parent
corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” of the Company as those terms are defined in Section 424
of the Code.




	6.	 	RULES APPLICABLE TO AWARDS





     (a)     All Awards



          (1)     Award Provisions. The Administrator will determine the terms of all Awards,
subject to the limitations provided herein. By accepting any Award granted hereunder, the
Participant agrees to the terms of the Award and the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Plan to the contrary, awards of an acquired company that are converted, replaced or adjusted in
connection with the acquisition may contain terms and conditions that are inconsistent with the
terms and conditions specified herein, as determined by the Administrator.




          (2)      Term of Plan. No Awards may be made after June 20, 2016, but previously granted
Awards may continue beyond that date in accordance with their terms.




          (3)     Transferability. Neither ISOs nor, except as the Administrator otherwise
expressly provides, other Awards may be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution, and during a Participant’s lifetime ISOs (and, except as the Administrator
otherwise expressly provides, other non-transferable Awards requiring exercise) may be exercised
only by the Participant.




          (4)     Vesting, Etc. The Administrator may determine the time or times at which an
Award will vest or become exercisable and the terms on which an Award requiring exercise will
remain exercisable. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator may at any time accelerate
the vesting or exercisability of an Award, regardless of any adverse or potentially adverse tax
consequences resulting from such acceleration. Unless the Administrator expressly provides
otherwise, however, the following rules will apply: immediately upon the cessation of the
Participant’s Employment, each Award requiring exercise that is then held by the Participant




Page 2









 




or by the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, will cease to be exercisable and will
terminate, and all other Awards that are then held by the Participant or by the Participant’s
permitted transferees, if any, to the extent not already vested will be forfeited, except that:





     (A)     subject to (B) and (C) below, all Stock Options and SARs held by the Participant
or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of
the Participant’s Employment, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for
the lesser of (i) a period of three months or (ii) the period ending on the latest date on
which such Stock Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section
6(a)(4), and will thereupon terminate;




     (B)     all Stock Options and SARs held by a Participant or the Participant’s permitted
transferees, if any, immediately prior to the Participant’s death, to the extent then
exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) the one year period ending with
the first anniversary of the Participant’s death or (ii) the period ending on the latest
date on which such Stock Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this
Section 6(a)(4), and will thereupon terminate; and




     (C)     all Stock Options and SARs held by a Participant or the Participant’s permitted
transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Participant’s Employment will
immediately terminate upon such cessation if the Administrator in its sole discretion
determines that such cessation of Employment has resulted for reasons which cast such
discredit on the Participant as to justify immediate termination of the Award. 



          (5)     Taxes. The Administrator will make such provision for the withholding of taxes
as it deems necessary. The Administrator may, but need not, hold back shares of Stock from an
Award or permit a Participant to tender previously owned shares of Stock in satisfaction of tax
withholding requirements (but not in excess of the minimum withholding required by law).




          (6)      Dividend Equivalents, Etc. The Administrator may provide for the payment of
amounts in lieu of cash dividends or other cash distributions with respect to Stock subject to an
Award. Any entitlement to dividend equivalents or similar entitlements shall be established and
administered consistent either with exemption from, or compliance with, the requirements of Section
409A to the extent applicable.




          (7)     Rights Limited. Nothing in the Plan will be construed as giving any person the
right to continued employment or service with the Company or its Affiliates, or any rights as a
stockholder except as to shares of Stock actually issued under the Plan. The loss of existing or
potential profit in Awards will not constitute an element of damages in the event of termination of
Employment for any reason, even if the termination is in violation of an obligation of the Company
or Affiliate to the Participant.




          (8)     Section 162(m). This Section 6(a)(8) applies to any Performance Award intended
to qualify as performance-based for the purposes of Section 162(m) other than a Stock Option or
SAR. In the case of any Performance Award to which this Section 6(a)(8) applies, the




Page 3









 




Plan and such Award will be construed to the maximum extent permitted by law in a manner
consistent with qualifying the Award for such exception. With respect to such Performance Awards,
the Administrator will pre-establish, in writing, one or more specific Performance Criteria no
later than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the performance relates
(or at such earlier time as is required to qualify the Award as performance-based under Section
162(m)). Prior to grant, vesting or payment of the Performance Award, as the case may be, the
Administrator will certify whether the applicable Performance Criteria have been attained and such
determination will be final and conclusive. No Performance Award to which this Section 6(a)(8)
applies may be granted after the first meeting of the stockholders of the Company held in 2011
until the listed performance measures set forth in the definition of “Performance Criteria” (as
originally approved or as subsequently amended) have been resubmitted to and reapproved by the
stockholders of the Company in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code,
unless such grant is made contingent upon such approval.




          (9)     Duration of Awards. The latest date on which an Award may be exercised will be
the tenth anniversary (fifth anniversary, in the case of an ISO granted to a ten-percent
shareholder) of the day immediately preceding the date the Award was granted, or such earlier date
as may have been specified by the Administrator at the time the Award was granted.




     (b)     Awards Requiring Exercise



          (1)     409A Exemption. Except as the Administrator otherwise determines, no Award
requiring exercise shall have deferral features, or shall be administered in a manner, that would
cause such Award to fail to qualify for exemption from Section 409A.




          (2)     Time and Manner of Exercise. Unless the Administrator expressly provides
otherwise, an Award requiring exercise by the holder will not be deemed to have been exercised
until the Administrator receives a notice of exercise (in form acceptable to the Administrator)
signed by the appropriate person and accompanied by any payment required under the Award. If the
Award is exercised by any person other than the Participant, the Administrator may require
satisfactory evidence that the person exercising the Award has the right to do so.




          (3)     Exercise Price. The exercise price (or the base value from which appreciation is
to be measured) of each Award requiring exercise shall be 100% (in the case of an ISO granted to a
ten-percent shareholder within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code, 110%) of the fair
market value of the Stock subject to the Award, determined as of the date of grant, or such higher
amount as the Administrator may determine in connection with the grant. Fair market value shall be
determined by the Administrator consistent with the requirements of Section 422 and Section 409A,
as applicable. No such Award, once granted, may be repriced other than in accordance with the
applicable stockholder approval requirements of Nasdaq.




          (4)     Payment of Exercise Price. Where the exercise of an Award is to be accompanied
by payment, the Administrator may determine the required or permitted forms of payment, subject to
the following: all payments will be by cash or check acceptable to the Administrator, or, if so
permitted by the Administrator and if legally permissible, (i) through the




Page 4









 




delivery of shares of Stock that have been outstanding for at least six months (unless the
Administrator approves a shorter period) and that have a fair market value equal to the exercise
price, (ii) by delivery to the Company of a promissory note of the person exercising the Award,
payable on such terms as are specified by the Administrator, (iii) through a broker-assisted
exercise program acceptable to the Administrator, (iv) by other means acceptable to the
Administrator, or (v) by any combination of the foregoing permissible forms of payment. The
delivery of shares in payment of the exercise price under clause (a)(i) above may be accomplished
either by actual delivery or by constructive delivery through attestation of ownership, subject to
such rules as the Administrator may prescribe.




     (c)     Awards Not Requiring Exercise



     Restricted Stock and Unrestricted Stock, whether delivered outright or under Awards of Stock
Units or other Awards that do not require exercise, may be made in exchange for such lawful
consideration, including services, as the Administrator determines. Any Award resulting in a
deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A shall be construed to the maximum extent possible,
as determined by the Administrator, consistent with the requirements of Section 409A.



7.     EFFECT OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS




     (a)     Mergers, etc. Except as otherwise provided in an Award, the following provisions
shall apply in the event of a Covered Transaction:



          (1)     Assumption or Substitution. If the Covered Transaction is one in which there is
an acquiring or surviving entity, the Administrator may provide for the assumption of some or all
outstanding Awards or for the grant of new awards in substitution therefor by the acquirer or
survivor or an affiliate of the acquirer or survivor.




          (2)     Cash-Out of Awards. If the Covered Transaction is one in which holders of Stock
will receive upon consummation a payment (whether cash, non-cash or a combination of the
foregoing), the Administrator may provide for payment (a “cash-out”), with respect to some or all
Awards, equal in the case of each affected Award to the excess, if any, of (A) the fair market
value of one share of Stock (as determined by the Administrator in its reasonable discretion) times
the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award, over (B) the aggregate exercise or purchase
price, if any, under the Award (in the case of an SAR, the aggregate base price above which
appreciation is measured), in each case on such payment terms (which need not be the same as the
terms of payment to holders of Stock) and other terms, and subject to such conditions, as the
Administrator determines. 




          (3)     Acceleration of Certain Awards. If the Covered Transaction (whether or not there
is an acquiring or surviving entity) is one in which there is no assumption, substitution or
cash-out, each Award requiring exercise will become fully exercisable, and the delivery of shares
of Stock deliverable under each outstanding Award of Stock Units (including Restricted Stock Units
and Performance Awards to the extent consisting of Stock Units) will be accelerated and such shares
will be delivered, prior to the Covered Transaction, in each case on a basis that gives the holder
of the Award a reasonable opportunity, as determined by the Administrator, following exercise of
the Award or the delivery of the shares, as the case may be, to participate




Page 5









 




as a stockholder in the Covered Transaction.




          (4)     Termination of Awards Upon Consummation of Covered Transaction. Each Award
(unless assumed pursuant to Section 7(a)(1) above), other than outstanding shares of Restricted
Stock (which shall be treated in the same manner as other shares of Stock, subject to Section
7(a)(5) below), will terminate upon consummation of the Covered Transaction.




          (5)     Additional Limitations. Any share of Stock delivered pursuant to Section 7(a)(2)
or Section 7(a)(3) above with respect to an Award may, in the discretion of the Administrator,
contain such restrictions, if any, as the Administrator deems appropriate to reflect any
performance or other vesting conditions to which the Award was subject. In the case of Restricted
Stock, the Administrator may require that any amounts delivered, exchanged or otherwise paid in
respect of such Stock in connection with the Covered Transaction be placed in escrow or otherwise
made subject to such restrictions as the Administrator deems appropriate to carry out the intent of
the Plan.




     (b)     Change in and Distributions With Respect to Stock



          (1)     Basic Adjustment Provisions. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split or
combination of shares (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization or other change in the
Company’s capital structure, the Administrator will make appropriate adjustments to the maximum
number of shares specified in Section 4(a) that may be delivered under the Plan and to the maximum
share limits described in Section 4(c), and will also make appropriate adjustments to the number
and kind of shares of stock or securities subject to Awards then outstanding or subsequently
granted, any exercise prices relating to Awards and any other provision of Awards affected by such
change.




          (2)     Certain Other Adjustments. The Administrator may also make adjustments of the
type described in Section 7(b)(1) above to take into account distributions to stockholders other
than those provided for in Section 7(a) and 7(b)(1), or any other event, if the Administrator
determines that adjustments are appropriate to avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan and to
preserve the value of Awards made hereunder, having due regard for the qualification of ISOs under
Section 422 of the Code, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and for the
performance-based compensation rules of Section 162(m), where applicable.




          (3)     Continuing Application of Plan Terms. References in the Plan to shares of Stock
will be construed to include any stock or securities resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this
Section 7.




8.     LEGAL CONDITIONS ON DELIVERY OF STOCK




     The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Stock pursuant to the Plan or to
remove any restriction from shares of Stock previously delivered under the Plan until: (i) the
Company is satisfied that all legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such
shares have been addressed and resolved; (ii) if the outstanding Stock is at the time of delivery
listed on any stock exchange or national market system, the shares to be delivered have been listed
or authorized to be listed on such exchange or system upon official notice of issuance; and



Page 6









 




(iii) all conditions of the Award have been satisfied or waived. If the sale of Stock has not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company may require, as a
condition to exercise of the Award, such representations or agreements as counsel for the Company
may consider appropriate to avoid violation of such Act. The Company may require that certificates
evidencing Stock issued under the Plan bear an appropriate legend reflecting any restriction on
transfer applicable to such Stock, and the Company may hold the certificates pending lapse of the
applicable restrictions.




9.     AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION




     The Administrator may at any time or times amend the Plan or any outstanding Award for any
purpose which may at the time be permitted by law, and may at any time terminate the Plan as to any
future grants of Awards; provided, that except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan the
Administrator may not, without the Participant’s consent, alter the terms of an Award so as to
affect adversely the Participant’s rights under the Award, unless the Administrator expressly
reserved the right to do so at the time of the Award. Any amendments to the Plan shall be
conditioned upon stockholder approval only to the extent, if any, such approval is required by law
(including the Code and applicable stock exchange requirements), as determined by the
Administrator.



10.     OTHER COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS




     The existence of the Plan or the grant of any Award will not in any way affect the Company’s
right to Award a person bonuses or other compensation in addition to Awards under the Plan.



11.     MISCELLANEOUS




     (a)     Waiver of Jury Trial. By accepting an Award under the Plan, each Participant
waives any right to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim concerning any rights
under the Plan and any Award, or under any amendment, waiver, consent, instrument, document or
other agreement delivered or which in the future may be delivered in connection therewith, and
agrees that any such action, proceedings or counterclaim shall be tried before a court and not
before a jury. By accepting an Award under the Plan, each Participant certifies that no officer,
representative, or attorney of the Company has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the
Company would not, in the event of any action, proceeding or counterclaim, seek to enforce the
foregoing waivers.



     (b)     Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan,
neither the Company, any Affiliate, nor the Administrator, nor any person acting on behalf of the
Company, any Affiliate, or the Administrator, shall be liable to any Participant or to the estate
or beneficiary of any Participant or to any other holder of an Award by reason of any acceleration
of income, or any additional tax, asserted by reason of the failure of an Award to satisfy the
requirements of Section 422 or Section 409A or by reason of Section 4999 of the Code; provided,
that nothing in this Section 11(b) shall limit the ability of the Administrator or the Company to
provide by separate express written agreement with a Participant for a gross-up payment or other
payment in connection with any such tax or additional tax.

the extent permitted by Section 157(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law; (iii) to one or
more officers of the Company the authority to allocate other Awards among such persons (other than
officers of the Company) eligible to receive Awards under the Plan as such delegated officer or
officers determine consistent with such delegation; provided, that with respect to any delegation
described in this clause (iii) the Compensation Committee (or a properly delegated member or
members of such Committee) shall have authorized the issuance of a specified number of shares of
Stock under such Awards and shall have specified the consideration, if any, to be paid therefor;
and (iv) to such Employees or other persons as it determines such ministerial tasks as it deems
appropriate. In the event of any delegation described in the preceding sentence, the term
“Administrator” shall include the person or persons so delegated to the extent of such delegation.



     “Affiliate”: Any corporation or other entity owning, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of
the outstanding Stock of the Company, or in which the Company or any such corporation or other
entity owns, directly or indirectly, 50% of the outstanding capital stock (determined by aggregate
voting rights) or other voting interests. For purposes of determining eligibility for the grant of
a Stock Option or SAR by reason of service with an Affiliate, the term Affiliate shall be limited
to persons that stand in a relationship to the Company that would result in the Company and such
person being treated as one employer under Section 414(b) and Section 414(c) of the Code except
that “at least 50%” shall be substituted for “at least 805” under Sections 1563(a)(1), (2), and (3)
of the Code and Treas. Reg. Section 1.414(c)-2, all in accordance with the definition of “service
recipient” under Section 409A of the Code.

convertible into or otherwise based on Stock.



     “Board”: The Board of Directors of the Company.



     “Cash Award”: An Award denominated in cash.

any successor statute as from time to time in effect.

     “Company”: StemCells, Inc.



     “Covered Transaction”: Any of (i) a consolidation, merger, or similar transaction or series
of related transactions, including a sale or other disposition of stock, in which the Company is
not the surviving corporation or which results in the acquisition of all or substantially all of
the Company’s then outstanding common stock by a single person or entity or by a group of persons
and/or entities acting in concert, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all the
Company’s assets, or (iii) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company. Where a Covered

deemed to have occurred upon consummation of the tender offer.



     “Employee”: Any person who is employed by the Company or an Affiliate.



     “Employment”: A Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company and
its Affiliates. Employment will be deemed to continue, unless the Administrator expressly provides
otherwise, so long as the Participant is employed by, or otherwise is providing services in a
capacity described in Section 5 to the Company or its Affiliates. If a Participant’s employment or
other service relationship is with an Affiliate and that entity ceases to be an Affiliate, the
Participant’s Employment will be deemed to have terminated when the entity ceases to be an
Affiliate unless the Participant transfers Employment to the Company or its remaining Affiliates.



     “ISO”: A Stock Option intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code. Each option granted pursuant to the Plan will be treated as providing by

expressly designated as an ISO.

Page 9









 





     “Performance Award”: An Award subject to Performance Criteria. The Committee in its
discretion may grant Performance Awards that are intended to qualify for the performance-based
compensation exception under Section 162(m) and Performance Awards that are not intended so to
qualify.



     “Performance Criteria”: Specified criteria, other than the mere continuation of Employment or
the mere passage of time, the satisfaction of which is a condition for the grant, exercisability,
vesting or full enjoyment of an Award. For purposes of Awards that are intended to qualify for the
performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m), a Performance Criterion will mean an
objectively determinable measure of performance relating to any or any combination of the following
(measured either absolutely or by reference to an index or indices and determined either on a
consolidated basis or, as the context permits, on a divisional, subsidiary, line of business,
project or geographical basis or in combinations thereof): sales; revenues; assets; expenses;
earnings before or after deduction for all or any portion of interest, taxes, depreciation, or
amortization, whether or not on a continuing operations or an aggregate or per share basis; return

split-ups and the like; reorganizations; or recapitalizations, restructurings, financings (issuance
of debt or equity) or refinancings. A Performance Criterion and any targets with respect thereto
determined by the Administrator need not be based upon an increase, a positive or improved result
or avoidance of loss. To the extent consistent with the requirements for satisfying the
performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m), the Administrator may provide in the
case of any Award intended to qualify for such exception that one or more of the Performance
Criteria applicable to such Award will be adjusted in an objectively determinable manner to reflect
events (for example, but without limitation, acquisitions or dispositions) occurring during the
performance period that affect the applicable Performance Criterion or Criteria.



     “Plan”: The StemCells, Inc. 2006 Incentive Plan as from time to time amended and in effect.



     “Restricted Stock”: Stock subject to restrictions requiring that it be redelivered or offered
for sale to the Company if specified conditions are not satisfied.

in lieu of Stock is, subject to the satisfaction of specified performance or other vesting
conditions.



     “Section 162(m)”: Section 162(m) of the Code.



     “SAR”: A right entitling the holder upon exercise to receive an amount (payable in shares of
Stock of equivalent value or, at the election of the Administrator, in cash or a



Page 10









 




combination of shares of Stock and cash) equal to the excess of the fair market value of the
shares of Stock subject to the right over the fair market value of such shares at the date of
grant.




     “Stock”: Common Stock of the Company, par value $ 0.01 per share.



     “Stock Option”: An option entitling the holder to acquire shares of Stock upon payment of the
exercise price.

Stock or cash measured by the value of Stock in the future.
