Exhibit 10.3

CONSTANT CONTACT, INC.

Form of

Incentive Stock Option Agreement

Granted Under 2011 Stock Incentive Plan

1. Grant of Option.

     This agreement evidences the grant by Constant Contact, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), on [___________], 20[__] (the “Grant Date”) to [____________________________], an
employee of the Company (the “Participant”), of an option to purchase, in whole or in part, on the
terms provided herein and in the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a total of
[___________] shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company
(“Common Stock”) at $[_____] per Share. Unless earlier terminated, this option shall expire at
5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on [____________] (the “Final Exercise Date”).

     It is intended that the option evidenced by this agreement shall be an incentive stock option
as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations
promulgated thereunder (the “Code”), to the fullest extent permitted thereby. In the event any or
all of this option shall not qualify as an incentive stock option, the portion that is not so
qualified shall be deemed a non-incentive stock option. Except as otherwise indicated by the
context, the term “Participant”, as used in this option, shall be deemed to include any person who
acquires the right to exercise this option validly under its terms.

2. Vesting Schedule.

     This option will become exercisable (“vest”) as to [_____]% of the original number of Shares
on [__________] (the “Vesting Commencement Date”) and as to an additional [____]% of the original
number of Shares at the end of each successive [________] period following the Vesting Commencement
Date until [___________].

     The right of exercise shall be cumulative so that to the extent the option is not exercised in
any period to the maximum extent permissible it shall continue to be exercisable, in whole or in
part, with respect to all Shares for which it is vested until the earlier of the Final Exercise
Date or the termination of this option under Section 3 hereof or the Plan.

3. Exercise of Option.

     (a) Form of Exercise. Each election to exercise this option shall be in a form (which
may be electronic) approved by the Company, and received by the Company or its designated
third-party administrator, accompanied by this agreement and payment in full in the manner provided
in the Plan or transmitted or signified in such other manner as provided at the time of exercise by
the Company or such administrator. For purposes hereof, “third-party administrator” means E*Trade
Corporate Financial Services, Inc. or any successor third-party stock option administrator
designated by the Company from time to time. The Participant may purchase less than the number of
shares covered hereby, provided that no partial exercise of this option may be for any fractional
share.

 

 

     (b) Continuous Relationship with the Company Required. Except as otherwise provided
in this Section 3, this option may not be exercised unless the Participant, at the time he or she
exercises this option, is, and has been at all times since the Grant Date, an employee or officer
of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company as defined
in Section 424(e) or (f) of the Code (an “Eligible Participant”).

     (c) Termination of Relationship with the Company. If the Participant ceases to be an
Eligible Participant for any reason, then, except as provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) below, the
right to exercise this option shall terminate three months after such cessation (but in no event
after the Final Exercise Date), provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent
that the Participant was entitled to exercise this option on the date of such cessation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant, prior to the Final Exercise Date, violates the
non-competition or confidentiality provisions of any employment contract, confidentiality and
nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company, the right to
exercise this option shall terminate immediately upon written notice to the Participant from the
Company describing such violation.

     (d) Exercise Period Upon Death or Disability. If the Participant dies or becomes
disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to the Final Exercise Date
while he or she is an Eligible Participant and the Company has not terminated such relationship for
“cause” as specified in paragraph (e) below, this option shall be exercisable, within the period of
one year following the date of death or disability of the Participant, by the Participant (or in
the case of death by an authorized transferee), provided that this option shall be exercisable only
to the extent that this option was exercisable by the Participant on the date of his or her death
or disability, and further provided that this option shall not be exercisable after the Final
Exercise Date.

     (e) Termination for Cause. If, prior to the Final Exercise Date, the Participant’s
employment is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below), the right to exercise this
option shall terminate immediately upon the effective date of such termination of employment. If
the Participant is party to an employment or severance agreement with the Company that contains a
definition of “cause” for termination of employment, “Cause” shall have the meaning ascribed to
such term in such agreement. Otherwise, “Cause” shall mean willful misconduct by the Participant
or willful failure by the Participant to perform his or her responsibilities to the Company
(including, without limitation, breach by the Participant of any provision of any employment,
consulting, advisory, nondisclosure, non-competition or other similar agreement between the
Participant and the Company), as determined by the Company, which determination shall be
conclusive. The Participant shall be considered to have been discharged for Cause if the Company
determines, within 30 days after the Participant’s resignation, that discharge for Cause was
warranted.

4. Tax Matters.

     (a) Withholding. No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of this option
unless and until the Participant pays to the Company, or makes provision satisfactory to the
Company for payment of, any federal, state or local withholding taxes required by law to be
withheld in respect of this option.

2

 

     (b) Disqualifying Disposition. If the Participant disposes of Shares acquired upon
exercise of any portion of this option which is qualified as an incentive stock option within two
years from the Grant Date or one year after such Shares were acquired pursuant to exercise of this
option, the Participant shall notify the Company in writing of such disposition.

5. Nontransferability of Option.

     This option may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the
Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and, during the lifetime of the Participant, this option shall be exercisable only by
the Participant.

6. Provisions of the Plan.

     This option is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is furnished to the
Participant with this option.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this option to be executed under its corporate seal
by its duly authorized officer. This option shall take effect as a sealed instrument.

Exhibit 10.4

CONSTANT CONTACT, INC.

Form of

Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement (for Executives)

Granted Under 2011 Stock Incentive Plan

1. Grant of Option.

     This agreement evidences the grant by Constant Contact, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), on [________], 20[__] (the “Grant Date”) to [_____], an employee of the Company (the
“Participant”), of an option to purchase, in whole or in part, on the terms provided herein and in
the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a total of [_____] shares (the “Shares”) of
common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) at $[_____] per Share.
Unless earlier terminated, this option shall expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on [_______] (the
“Final Exercise Date”).

     It is intended that the option evidenced by this agreement shall not be an incentive stock
option as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any
regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”). Except as otherwise indicated by the context, the
term “Participant”, as used in this option, shall be deemed to include any person who acquires the
right to exercise this option validly under its terms.

2. Vesting Schedule.

     This option will become exercisable (“vest”) as to [__]% of the original number of Shares on
[___________] (the “Vesting Commencement Date”) and as to an additional [____]% of the original
number of Shares at the end of each successive [_________] period following the Vesting
Commencement Date until [______________].

     The right of exercise shall be cumulative so that to the extent the option is not exercised in
any period to the maximum extent permissible it shall continue to be exercisable, in whole or in
part, with respect to all Shares for which it is vested until the earlier of the Final Exercise
Date or the termination of this option under Section 3 hereof or the Plan.

     In the event of a Change of Control (as defined below), notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, immediately prior to the closing of the Change of Control, 50% of then unvested Shares
shall automatically vest and become exercisable. In such event, the balance of the unvested Shares
shall continue to vest as set forth in Section 2(a) until this option is vested in full.

     If, following a Change of Control, the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated
by the Company, or its successor, without Cause (as defined below) prior to the one year
anniversary of such Change of Control, all then unvested Shares shall automatically vest and become
exercisable.

     For the purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” shall mean (i) the consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a merger or
consolidation in which all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were

 

 

beneficial owners of the outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors of the Company immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or
indirectly, more than 50% of the outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors of the resulting, surviving or acquiring corporation in such transaction), (ii) the
sale of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company as an entirety to any
other person, or (iii) the sale or transfer, in a single transaction or series of related
transactions, of outstanding capital stock representing at least a majority of the voting power of
the outstanding capital stock of the Company immediately following such transaction.

3. Exercise of Option.

     (a) Form of Exercise. Each election to exercise this option shall be in a form (which
may be electronic) approved by the Company, and received by the Company or its designated
third-party administrator, accompanied by this agreement and payment in full in the manner provided
in the Plan or transmitted or signified in such other manner as provided at the time of exercise by
the Company or such administrator. For purposes hereof, “third-party administrator” means E*Trade
Corporate Financial Services, Inc. or any successor third-party stock option administrator
designated by the Company from time to time. The Participant may purchase less than the number of
shares covered hereby, provided that no partial exercise of this option may be for any fractional
share.

     (b) Continuous Relationship with the Company Required. Except as otherwise provided
in this Section 3, this option may not be exercised unless the Participant, at the time he or she
exercises this option, is, and has been at all times since the Grant Date, an employee, officer, or
director of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or any other entity the employees, officers,
directors, consultants, or advisors of which are eligible to receive option grants under the Plan
(an “Eligible Participant”)

     (c) Termination of Relationship with the Company. If the Participant ceases to be an
Eligible Participant for any reason, then, except as provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) below, the
right to exercise this option shall terminate three months after such cessation (but in no event
after the Final Exercise Date), provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent
that the Participant was entitled to exercise this option on the date of such cessation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant, prior to the Final Exercise Date, violates the
non-competition or confidentiality provisions of any employment contract, confidentiality and
nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company, the right to
exercise this option shall terminate immediately upon written notice to the Participant from the
Company describing such violation.

     (d) Exercise Period Upon Death or Disability. If the Participant dies or becomes
disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to the Final Exercise Date
while he or she is an Eligible Participant and the Company has not terminated such relationship for
“cause” as specified in paragraph (e) below, this option shall be exercisable, within the period of
one year following the date of death or disability of the Participant, by the Participant (or in
the case of death by an authorized transferee), provided that this option shall be exercisable only
to the extent that this option was exercisable by the Participant on the date of his or her death
or

2

 

disability, and further provided that this option shall not be exercisable after the Final
Exercise Date.

     (e) Termination for Cause. If, prior to the Final Exercise Date, the Participant’s
employment or other relationship with the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause (as
defined below), the right to exercise this option shall terminate immediately upon the effective
date of such termination of employment or other relationship. If the Participant is party to an
employment, consulting or severance agreement with the Company that contains a definition of
“cause” for termination of employment or other relationship, “Cause” shall have the meaning
ascribed to such term in such agreement. Otherwise, “Cause” shall mean willful misconduct by the
Participant or willful failure by the Participant to perform his or her responsibilities to the
Company (including, without limitation, breach by the Participant of any provision of any
employment, consulting, advisory, nondisclosure, non-competition or other similar agreement between
the Participant and the Company), as determined by the Company, which determination shall be
conclusive. The Participant shall be considered to have been discharged for “Cause” if the Company
determines, within 30 days after the Participant’s resignation, that discharge for Cause was
warranted.

4. Witholding.

     No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of this option unless and until the
Participant pays to the Company, or makes provision satisfactory to the Company for payment of, any
federal, state or local withholding taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of this option.

5. Nontransferability of Option.

     This option may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the
Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and, during the lifetime of the Participant, this option shall be exercisable only by
the Participant.

6. Provisions of the Plan.

     This option is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is furnished to the
Participant with this option.
