Registrant's 2003 Employee Stock Purchase Plan


 Exhibit 4.07 
  
 Macromedia, Inc. 
  
 2003 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 
  
 As Adopted May 30, 2003 
  
 1. Establishment of Plan. Macromedia, Inc. (the “Company”) proposes to grant options for purchase of the Company’s
Common Stock to eligible employees of the Company and its Participating Subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to this 2003 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (this “Plan”). For purposes of this Plan, “Parent
Corporation” and “Subsidiary” shall have the same meanings as “parent corporation” and “subsidiary corporation” in Sections 424(e) and 424(f), respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”). “Participating Subsidiaries” are Parent Corporations or Subsidiaries that the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) designates from time
to time as corporations that shall participate in this Plan. The Company intends this Plan to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code (including any amendments to or replacements of such Section), and
this Plan shall be so construed. Any term not expressly defined in this Plan but defined for purposes of Section 423 of the Code shall have the same definition herein. A total of 600,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock is reserved for
issuance under this Plan. Furthermore, on each January 1st until January 1, 2010, the aggregate number of shares of
the Company’s Common Stock reserved for issuance under this Plan shall be increased automatically by a number of shares equal to one percent (1%) of the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the immediately
preceding December 31st; provided, that the Board or the Committee may, in its sole discretion, reduce the amount of
the increase in any particular year; and, provided further, that the aggregate number of shares issued over the term of this Plan shall not exceed 20,000,000 shares. The share limitations set forth in this Section 1 shall be subject to adjustments
effected in accordance with Section 14 of this Plan. 
  
 2.
Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to provide eligible employees of the Company and Participating Subsidiaries with a convenient means of acquiring an equity interest in the Company through payroll deductions, to enhance such employees’
sense of participation in the affairs of the Company and Participating Subsidiaries, and to provide an incentive for continued employment. 
  
 3. Administration. This Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”). Subject to
the provisions of this Plan and the limitations of Section 423 of the Code or any successor provision in the Code, all questions of interpretation or application of this Plan shall be determined by the Committee and its decisions shall be final and
binding upon all participants. The Committee has the discretion to adopt any rules regarding the Plan operation and administration to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures to enable non-U.S. employees of the Company or
its Subsidiaries to participate in the Plan at the discretion of the Committee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding handling of payroll deductions,
payment of interest, conversion of local currency, payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates which vary with local requirements. The Committee has the authority to suspend or limit non-U.S. participation in the Plan for
any reason, including administrative or economic reasons. Members of the Committee shall receive no compensation for their services in connection with the administration of this Plan, other than standard fees as established from time to time by the
Board for services rendered by Board members serving on Board committees. All expenses incurred in connection with the administration of this Plan shall be paid by the Company. 
  
 4. Eligibility. Any employee of the Company or the Participating Subsidiaries is eligible to participate in an
Offering Period (as hereinafter defined) under this Plan except the following: 
  
 (a) employees who are not employed by the Company or a Participating Subsidiary prior to the beginning of such Offering Period or prior to such other time period as specified by the Committee; 
  
 (b) employees who are customarily employed for twenty (20) hours or less per
week unless required by local law as determined by the Committee; 
  

 1 







 (c) employees who are customarily employed for five (5) months or less in a calendar year unless required
by local law as determined by the Committee; 
  
 (d) employees
who, together with any other person whose stock would be attributed to such employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code, own stock or hold options to purchase stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value
of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Participating Subsidiaries or who, as a result of being granted an option under this Plan with respect to such Offering Period, would own stock or hold options to purchase stock possessing five
percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Participating Subsidiaries; and 
  
 (e) individuals who provide services to the Company or any of its Participating Subsidiaries as independent contractors who are reclassified as common law
employees for any reason except for federal income and employment tax purposes. 
  
 5. Offering Dates. The offering periods of this Plan (each, an “Offering Period”) shall be of twenty-four
(24)months duration commencing on February 16 and August 16 of each year and ending on February 15 and August 15 of each year. Each Offering Period shall consist of four (4) six month purchase periods (individually, a “Purchase
Period”) during which payroll deductions of the participants are accumulated under this Plan. The first business day of each Offering Period is referred to as the “Offering Date”. The last business day of each
Purchase Period is referred to as the “Purchase Date”. The Committee shall have the power to change the Offering Dates, the Purchase Dates and the duration of Offering Periods or Purchase Periods without stockholder approval
if such change is announced prior to the relevant Offering Period, or prior to such other time period as specified by the Committee. 
  
 6. Participation in this Plan. Eligible employees may become participants in an Offering Period under this Plan on an Offering Date after
satisfying the eligibility requirements by delivering a subscription agreement to the Company prior to such Offering Date, or such other time period as specified by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may set a later time for
filing the subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions for all eligible employees with respect to a given Offering Period. An eligible employee who does not deliver a subscription agreement to the Company by such date after becoming
eligible to participate in such Offering Period shall not participate in that Offering Period or any subsequent Offering Period unless such employee enrolls in this Plan by filing a subscription agreement with the Company prior to such Offering
Date, or such other time period as specified by the Committee. Once an employee becomes a participant in an Offering Period, such employee will automatically participate in the Offering Period commencing immediately following the last day of the
prior Offering Period unless the employee withdraws or is deemed to withdraw from this Plan or terminates further participation in the Offering Period as set forth in Section 11 below. Such participant is not required to file any additional
subscription agreement in order to continue participation in this Plan. 
  
 7. Grant of Option on Enrollment. Enrollment by an eligible employee in this Plan with respect to an Offering Period will constitute the grant (as of the Offering Date) by the Company to such employee of an option to purchase on the
Purchase Date up to that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company determined by dividing (a) the amount accumulated in such employee’s payroll deduction account during such Purchase Period by (b) the lower of (i) eighty-five percent
(85%) of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock on the Offering Date (but in no event less than the par value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock), or (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of
a share of the Company’s Common Stock on the Purchase Date (but in no event less than the par value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock), provided, however, that the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock subject
to any option granted pursuant to this Plan shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the maximum number of shares set by the Committee pursuant to Section 10(c) below with respect to the applicable Purchase Date, or (y) the maximum number of shares which
may be purchased pursuant to Section 10(b) below with respect to the applicable Purchase Date. The fair market value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock shall be determined as provided in Section 8 below. 
  
 8. Purchase Price. The purchase price per share at which a share of
Common Stock will be sold in any Offering Period shall be eighty-five percent (85%) of the lesser of: 
  
 (a) The fair market value on the Offering Date; or 
  

 2 







 (b) The fair market value on the Purchase Date. 
  
 For purposes of this Plan, the term “Fair Market
Value” means, as of any date, the value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock determined as follows: 
  
 (a) if such Common Stock is then quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, its closing price on the Nasdaq National Market on the date of determination as
reported in The Wall Street Journal; 
  
 (b) if such Common
Stock is publicly traded and is then listed on a national securities exchange, its closing price on the date of determination on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading as reported in
The Wall Street Journal; 
  
 (c) if such Common Stock is
publicly traded but is not quoted on the Nasdaq National Market nor listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on the date of determination as reported in The Wall Street
Journal; or 
  
 (d) if none of the foregoing is applicable, by
the Board in good faith. 
  
 9. Payment of Purchase
Price; Changes In Payroll Deductions; Issuance of Shares. 
  
 (a) The purchase price of the shares is accumulated by regular payroll deductions made during each Offering Period. The deductions are made as a percentage of the participant’s compensation in one percent (1%) increments not
less than two percent (2%), nor greater than ten percent (10%). Compensation shall mean all cash compensation (such as all cash compensation as reported on U.S. Form W-2) that constitutes net pay, including but not limited to, base salary, wages,
commissions, overtime, shift premiums and bonuses, plus draws against commissions, provided, however, that for purposes of determining a participant’s compensation, any election by such participant to reduce his or her regular cash
remuneration under Section 125 or 401(k) of the Code and any pension plan contribution qualified for tax-favored treatment under local law shall be treated as if the participant did not make such election. Compensation shall not include any: (i)
relocation compensation or reimbursement, whether taxable or non-taxable; (ii) gifts or similar compensation; (iii) loans forgiven and/or debt forgiveness income; (iv) severance pay paid after the Participant’s date of termination of
employment; (v) amounts realized from the issuance, exercise, sale or other disposition of equity, including but not limited to stock, stock options, and stock of the Employer purchased under this Plan or other such plan sponsored by the Employer
(including, but not limited to, amounts realized from the exercise of a qualified stock option, amounts realized when restricted stock is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, and amounts realized from the disposition of a qualified
stock option), (vi) the Company’s contributions to the Macromedia, Inc. 401(k) Employee Savings Plan or any other plan of deferred compensation; (vii) additional benefits payable other than in cash; (viii) tax equalization compensation or other
similar amounts; and (ix) compensation received prior to an individual becoming a Participant in this Plan. Compensation shall include any amounts deferred under a salary reduction arrangement in accordance with Section 4.1 and under a Code Section
125 plan maintained by the Employer. Payroll deductions shall commence on the first payday of the Offering Period and shall continue to the end of the Offering Period unless sooner altered or terminated as provided in this Plan. 
  
 (b) A participant may increase or decrease the rate of payroll deductions
during an Offering Period by filing with the Company a new authorization for payroll deductions, in which case the new rate shall become effective for the next payroll period commencing after the Company’s receipt of the authorization and shall
continue for the remainder of the Offering Period unless changed as described below. Such change in the rate of payroll deductions may be made at any time during an Offering Period, but not more than one (1) change may be made effective during any
Purchase Period. A participant may increase or decrease the rate of payroll deductions for any subsequent Offering Period by filing with the Company a new authorization for payroll deductions prior to the beginning of such Offering Period, or prior
to such other time period as specified by the Committee. 
  
 (c)
All payroll deductions made for a participant are credited to his or her account under this Plan and are deposited with the general funds of the Company. No interest accrues on the payroll deductions. All payroll deductions received or held by the
Company may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions. 
  
 (d) On each Purchase Date, so long as this Plan remains in effect and provided that the participant has not submitted a signed and completed withdrawal
form before that date which notifies the Company that the 
  

 3 







 participant wishes to withdraw from that Offering Period under this Plan and have all payroll deductions accumulated in
the account maintained on behalf of the participant as of that date returned to the participant, the Company shall apply the funds then in the participant’s account to the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock reserved under the option
granted to such participant with respect to the Offering Period to the extent that such option is exercisable on the Purchase Date. The purchase price per share shall be as specified in Section 8 of this Plan. Any cash remaining in a
participant’s account after such purchase of shares shall be refunded to such participant in cash, without interest; provided, however that any amount remaining in such participant’s account on a Purchase Date which is less than the amount
necessary to purchase a full share of Common Stock of the Company shall be carried forward, without interest, into the next Purchase Period or Offering Period, as the case may be. In the event that this Plan has been oversubscribed, all funds not
used to purchase shares on the Purchase Date shall be returned to the participant, without interest. No Common Stock shall be purchased on a Purchase Date on behalf of any employee whose participation in this Plan has terminated prior to such
Purchase Date. 
  
 (e) As promptly as practicable after the
Purchase Date, the Company shall issue shares for the participant’s benefit representing the shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option. 
  
 (f) During a participant’s lifetime, his or her option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her. The participant will have no
interest or voting right in shares covered by his or her option until such option has been exercised.  
  
 10. Limitations on Shares to be Purchased. 
  
 (a) No participant shall be entitled to purchase stock under this Plan at a rate which, when aggregated with his or her rights to purchase stock under all
other employee stock purchase plans of the Company or any Subsidiary, exceeds $25,000 in fair market value, determined as of the Offering Date (or such other limit as may be imposed by the Code) for each calendar year in which the employee
participates in this Plan. The Company shall automatically suspend the payroll deductions of any participant as necessary to enforce such limit provided that when the Company automatically resumes such payroll deductions, the Company must apply the
rate in effect immediately prior to such suspension. 
  
 (b) No
more than 200% of the number of shares determined by dividing the amount accumulated in the employee’s payroll deduction account on a Purchase Date by 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the Offering Date may be
purchased by a participant on such Purchase Date. To the extent that a residual of cash is not used to purchase shares on such Purchase Date, it shall be carried over into the next succeeding period. 
  
 (c) No participant shall be entitled to purchase more than the Maximum Share
Amount (as defined below) on any single Purchase Date. Prior to the commencement of any Offering Period or Purchase Period or prior to such time period as specified by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, set a maximum number of
shares which may be purchased by any employee on any single Purchase Date (hereinafter the “Maximum Share Amount”). In no event shall the Maximum Share Amount exceed the amounts permitted under Section 10(b) above. If a
Maximum Share Amount is set, or subsequently revised, by the Committee, the Committee will notify all participants of such Maximum Share Amount prior to the commencement of any Purchase Period within an Offering Period to which it shall apply. The
Maximum Share Amount shall continue to apply with respect to all succeeding Purchase Dates and Offering Periods unless revised by the Committee as set forth above. 
  
 (d) If the number of shares to be purchased on a Purchase Date by all employees participating in this Plan exceeds the
number of shares then available for issuance under this Plan, then the Company will make a pro rata allocation of the remaining shares in as uniform a manner as shall be reasonably practicable and as the Committee shall determine to be equitable. In
such event, the Company shall give written notice of such reduction of the number of shares to be purchased under a participant’s option to each participant affected. 
  
 (e) Any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant’s account which are not used to purchase stock due to the
limitations in this Section 10 shall be returned to the participant as soon as practicable after the end of the applicable Purchase Period, without interest. 
  

 4 







 11. Withdrawal. 
  
 (a) Each participant may withdraw from an Offering Period under this Plan by signing and delivering to the Company a written
notice to that effect on a form provided for such purpose. Such withdrawal may be elected at any time prior to the end of an Offering Period, or such other time period as specified by the Committee. 
  
 (b) Upon withdrawal from this Plan, the accumulated payroll deductions shall
be returned to the withdrawn participant, without interest, and his or her interest in this Plan shall terminate. In the event a participant voluntarily elects to withdraw from this Plan, he or she may not resume his or her participation in this
Plan during the same Offering Period, but he or she may participate in any Offering Period under this Plan which commences on a date subsequent to such withdrawal by filing a new authorization for payroll deductions in the same manner as set forth
in Section 6 above for initial participation in this Plan. 
  
 (c)
If the Fair Market Value on the first day of the current Offering Period in which a participant is enrolled is higher than the Fair Market Value on the first day of any subsequent Offering Period, the Company will automatically enroll such
participant in the subsequent Offering Period. Any funds accumulated in a participant’s account prior to the first day of such subsequent Offering Period will be applied to the purchase of shares on the Purchase Date immediately prior to the
first day of such subsequent Offering Period, if any. 
  
 12.
Termination of Employment. Termination of a participant’s employment for any reason, including retirement, death or the failure of a participant to remain an eligible employee of the Company or of a Participating Subsidiary, immediately
terminates his or her participation in this Plan. In such event, the payroll deductions credited to the participant’s account will be returned to him or her or, in the case of his or her death, to his or her legal representative, without
interest. For purposes of this Section 12, an employee will not be deemed to have terminated employment or failed to remain in the continuous employ of the Company or of a Participating Subsidiary in the case of sick leave, military leave, or any
other leave of absence approved by the Board; provided that such leave is for a period of not more than ninety (90) days or reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute. 
  
 13. Return of Payroll Deductions. In the event a participant’s
interest in this Plan is terminated by withdrawal, termination of employment or otherwise, or in the event this Plan is terminated by the Board, the Company shall deliver to the participant, or the participant’s legal representative, as the
case may be, all payroll deductions credited to such participant’s account. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a participant in this Plan. 
  
 14. Capital Changes. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of
Common Stock covered by each option under this Plan which has not yet been exercised and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under this Plan but have not yet been placed under option (collectively, the
“Reserves”), as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each option under this Plan which has not yet been exercised, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company resulting from a stock split or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the Common Stock) or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock
effected without receipt of any consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration”. Such
adjustment shall be made by the Committee, whose determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issue 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 of Common Stock subject to an option. 
  

In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of
such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Committee. The Committee may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that this Plan shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Committee and give each participant the
right to purchase shares under this Plan prior to such termination. In the event of (i) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a
reincorporation of the 
  

 5 







 Company in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the stockholders of
the Company or their relative stock holdings and the options under this Plan are assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation, which assumption will be binding on all participants), (ii) a merger in which the Company is the surviving
corporation but after which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger (other than any stockholder that merges, or which owns or controls another corporation that merges, with the Company in such merger) cease to own their
shares or other equity interest in the Company, (iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (iv) the acquisition, sale, or transfer of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company by tender offer or similar
transaction, the Plan will continue with regard to Offering Periods that commenced prior to the closing of the proposed transaction and shares will be purchased based on the Fair Market Value of the surviving corporation’s stock on each
Purchase Date, unless otherwise provided by the Committee. 
  
 The
Committee may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole discretion, also make provision for adjusting the Reserves, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each outstanding option, in the event that the Company effects one
or more reorganizations, recapitalizations, rights offerings or other increases or reductions of shares of its outstanding Common Stock, or in the event of the Company being consolidated with or merged into any other corporation. 
  
 15. Nonassignability. Neither payroll deductions credited to a
participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under this Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and
distribution or as provided in Section 22 below) by the participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be void and without effect. 
  
 16. Reports. Individual accounts will be maintained for each participant in this Plan. Each participant shall receive
promptly after the end of each Purchase Period a report of his or her account setting forth the total payroll deductions accumulated, the number of shares purchased, the per share price thereof and the remaining cash balance, if any, carried forward
to the next Purchase Period or Offering Period, as the case may be. 
  
 17. Notice of Disposition. Each participant shall notify the Company in writing if the participant disposes of any of the shares purchased in any Offering Period pursuant to this Plan if such disposition occurs within two (2) years
from the Offering Date or within one (1) year from the Purchase Date on which such shares were purchased (the “Notice Period”). The Company may, at any time during the Notice Period, place a legend or legends on any
certificate representing shares acquired pursuant to this Plan requesting the Company’s transfer agent to notify the Company of any transfer of the shares. The obligation of the participant to provide such notice shall continue notwithstanding
the placement of any such legend on the certificates. 
  
 18.
No Rights to Continued Employment. Neither this Plan nor the grant of any option hereunder shall confer any right on any employee to remain in the employ of the Company or any Participating Subsidiary, or restrict the right of the Company or any
Participating Subsidiary to terminate such employee’s employment. 
  
 19. Equal Rights And Privileges. All eligible employees shall have equal rights and privileges with respect to this Plan so that this Plan qualifies as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 or
any successor provision of the Code and the related regulations. Any provision of this Plan which is inconsistent with Section 423 or any successor provision of the Code shall, without further act or amendment by the Company, the Committee or the
Board, be reformed to comply with the requirements of Section 423. This Section 19 shall take precedence over all other provisions in this Plan. 
  
 20. Notices. All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company under or in connection with this Plan shall be deemed to have been
duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof. 
  
 21. Term; Stockholder Approval. This Plan will become effective on the date the Plan is adopted by the Board; provided, however, no purchase
of shares pursuant to this Plan shall occur prior to stockholder approval. This Plan shall be approved by the stockholders of the Company, in any manner permitted by applicable corporate law, within twelve (12) months before or after the date this
Plan is adopted by the Board. This Plan shall continue until the earlier to occur of (a) termination of this Plan by the Board (which termination may be effected by 
  

 6 







 the Board at any time), (b) issuance of all of the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under this Plan, or (c)
ten (10) years from the adoption of this Plan by the Board. 
  
 22. Death of a Participant. In the event of a participant’s death, the Company shall deliver to the participant’s legal representative any shares purchased prior to such participant’s death and the amount of any
accumulated payroll deductions remaining in the participant’s account that was not used to purchase shares, provided that, should a participant die prior to the end of a Purchase Period, accumulated payroll deductions in such participant’s
account shall not be used to purchase shares on the Purchase Date for such Purchase Period and shall be returned to the participant’s legal representative. 
  

23. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares; Limitation on Sale of Shares. Shares shall not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise
of such option and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the
Company with respect to such compliance. 
  
 24. Applicable
Law. The Plan shall be governed by the substantive laws (excluding the conflict of laws rules) of the State of California. 
  
 25. Amendment or Termination of this Plan. The Board may at any time amend, terminate or extend the term of this Plan, except that any such
termination cannot affect options previously granted under this Plan, nor may any amendment make any change in an option previously granted which would adversely affect the right of any participant, nor may any amendment be made without approval of
the stockholders of the Company obtained in accordance with Section 21 above within twelve (12) months of the adoption of such amendment (or earlier if required by Section 21) if such amendment would: 
  
 (a) increase the number of shares that may be issued under this Plan; or

  
 (b) change the designation of the employees (or class of
employees) eligible for participation in this Plan. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may make such amendments to the Plan as the Board determines to be advisable, if the continuation of the Plan or any Offering Period would result in financial accounting treatment for the Plan that
is different from the financial accounting treatment in effect on the date this Plan is adopted by the Board.
