                                                     SECRETARYMRV Communications, Inc. - Exhibit 4.1

 

Exhibit 4.1

MRV COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

Non-Director and Non-Executive Officer

Consolidated Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan

	 	1.	 	The Plan

(a)  Purpose. The purpose of this Non-Director and Non-Executive Officer
Consolidated Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to promote the
longer-term financial success of MRV Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) by
providing a means to attract, retain and award individuals who can and do
contribute to such success. By using stock-based compensation, the recipients
of awards under the Plan will further identify their interests with those of
the Company’s stockholders.

(b)  Effective Date. To serve this purpose, the Plan will become effective upon
its approval by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).

	 	2.	 	Administration

(a)  Committee. The Plan shall be administered by a Committee, appointed by the
Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may assume, at its sole
discretion, administration of the Plan. The administrator of the Plan, whether
a committee of the Board or the full Board, is referred to herein as the “Plan
Administrator.”

(b)  Powers and Authority. The Plan Administrator’s powers and authority
include, but are not limited to, selecting individuals who are (1) employees or
consultants of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or other entity in
which the Company has a significant equity or other interest as determined by
the Plan Administrator, and (2) not executive officers or directors of the
Company (“Eligible Participants”); determining the types and terms and
conditions of all awards granted, including performance and other earnout and
vesting contingencies; permitting transferability of awards to third parties;
interpreting the Plan’s provisions; and administering the Plan in a manner that
is consistent with its purpose. As used in this Plan, “executive officer”
means the chief executive officer, president, chief financial officer, chief
accounting officer, any vice president in charge of a principal business unit,
division or function (such as sales, administration or finance), any other
officer who performs a significant policy-making function, or any other person
who performs similar significant policy making functions for the Company,
including officers of the Company’s subsidiaries if they perform significant
policy-making functions for the Company.

(c)  Award Prices. For Plan purposes, all stock options, warrants and stock
appreciation rights shall have an exercise price which shall reflect the Common
Stock Value (as defined below) of a share of the Company’s common stock, par
value $0.0017 per share (“Common Stock”), on the date as determined by the Plan
Administrator, or if

 

 

such date is not a trading day, the Common Stock Value on the next preceding
trading day. The applicable date shall be the date on which the award is
granted. For purposes of this paragraph 2(c), “Common Stock Value” shall mean,
as of any given date, (i) if the Common Stock is traded on a national
securities exchange, or is designated as a National Market System security on
NASDAQ, the closing price thereof as reported on such exchange or NASDAQ-NMS,
as the case may be, on such date, or, if no sale occurred on any such trading
day, then the mean between the closing bid and asked prices on such exchange or
NASDAQ-NMS on such trading day, (ii) if the Common Stock is actively traded
over-the-counter (other than NASDAQ-NMS), the mean between the low bid and high
asked prices as of the close of business on such date, as reported by the
National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation system or other
source, (iii) if the Common Stock is not traded on an exchange, NASDAQ-NMS, or
traded over-the-counter, the fair market value thereof, as shall be determined
in good faith by the Plan Administrator.

3

 

	 	(iv)	 	up to 1,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock reacquired
by the Company in the open market or in private transactions.

Collectively the shares of Common Stock subject to this Plan are referred to
herein as “Shares.” Shares to be issued under the Plan may be either Shares
which have been reacquired and are held in treasury or Shares which are
authorized but unissued. In addition, any Shares granted under the Plan which
are forfeited back to the Company because of the failure to meet an award
contingency or condition shall again be available for delivery pursuant to new
awards granted under the Plan. Any Shares covered by an award (or portion of
an award) granted under the Plan, which is forfeited or canceled, expires or is
settled in cash, shall be deemed not to have been delivered for purposes of
determining the maximum number of Shares available for delivery under the Plan.
Likewise, if any stock option is exercised by tendering Shares, either
actually or by attestation, to the Company as full or partial payment in
connection with the exercise of a stock option under this Plan or any Prior
Plan, only the number of Shares issued net of the Shares tendered shall be
deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of Shares
available for delivery under the Plan. Further, Shares issued under the Plan
through the settlement, assumption or substitution of outstanding awards or
obligations to grant future awards as a condition of the Company acquiring
another entity shall not reduce the maximum number of Shares available for
delivery under the Plan.

(b)  Other Plan Limits. Subject to Section 3(c), the following additional
maximums are imposed under the Plan. No Shares may be covered by stock options
intended to comply with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”), (“Incentive Stock Options”). The maximum number of
Shares that may be issued in conjunction with awards granted pursuant to
Section 4(d) shall be 150,000 The maximum number of Shares that may be covered
by awards granted to any one individual pursuant to Sections 4(b) and 4(c)
shall be 100,000 during any consecutive three calendar years. The maximum
payment that can be made for awards granted to any one individual pursuant to
Sections 4(d) and 4(e) shall be $2,500,000 for any single or combined
performance goals established for a specified performance period. If a payment
under Sections 4(d) or 4(e) is made in Shares, the value of such Shares for
determining this maximum individual payment amount will be the closing price of
a Share on the first day of the applicable performance period. A specified
performance period for purposes of this performance goal payment limit shall
not exceed a sixty (60) consecutive month period.

(c)  Payment Shares. Subject to the overall limitation on the number of Shares
that may be delivered under the Plan, the categories of Eligible Participants
and the other limitations set forth in Section 3(b), the Plan Administrator may
use available Shares as the form of payment for compensation, grants or rights
earned or due under any other compensation plans or arrangements of the
Company, including the plan of any entity acquired by the Company.

4

 

(d)  Adjustments for Corporate Transactions. The Plan Administrator may
determine that:

	 	(i)	 	In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Company are changed into or exchanged for a different number or
kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of any
recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, stock dividend,
combination or subdivision, appropriate adjustment shall be made in
the number of shares available under the Plan and under any stock
awards granted under the Plan. Such adjustment to outstanding stock
awards shall be made without change in the total price applicable to
the unexercised portion of such awards, and a corresponding
adjustment in the applicable exercise price per share shall be made.
No such adjustment shall be made which would, within the meaning of
any applicable provisions of the Code, constitute a modification,
extension or renewal of any award or a grant of additional benefits
to the holder of an award.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	In case (A) the Company is merged or consolidated with
another corporation or other entity and the Company is not the
surviving corporation, (B) all or substantially all of the assets or
more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company is
acquired by any other corporation or other entity or (C) of a
reorganization or liquidation of the Company, the Plan Administrator
or the governing body of any entity assuming the obligations of the
Company, shall, as to outstanding awards, either (x) make
appropriate provision for the protection of any such outstanding
awards by the substitution on an equitable basis of appropriate
stock of the Company, or of the merged, consolidated or otherwise
reorganized corporation which will be issuable in respect of the
shares of Common Stock of the Company, provided that no additional
benefits shall be conferred upon participants as a result of such
substitution, and the excess of the aggregate fair market value of
the shares subject to the awards immediately after such substitution
over the purchase price thereof is not more than the excess of the
aggregate fair market value of the shares subject to the award
immediately before such substitution over the purchase price
thereof, or (y) upon written notice to the participants, provide
that all unexercised awards must be exercised within a specified
number of days of the date of such notice or they will be
terminated. In any such case, the Plan Administrator may, in its
discretion, accelerate the exercise dates of outstanding awards.

      

	 	4.	 	Types of Awards

(a)  General. An award may be granted singularly, in combination with another
award(s) or in tandem whereby exercise or vesting of one award held by a
participant

5

 

cancels another award held by the participant. Any award granted under the
Plan shall be evidenced by a written agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Plan Administrator. These agreements must conform to the
Plan. The Plan Administrator may include such terms, consistent with the Plan,
as it determines in its discretion. Subject to Section 2(c), an award may be
granted as an alternative to or replacement of an existing award under the Plan
or under any other compensation plans or arrangements of the Company, including
the plan of any entity acquired by the Company. The types of awards that may
be granted under the Plan include:

(b)  Stock Option. A stock option represents a right to purchase a specified
number of Shares during a specified period at a price per Share which is no
less than that required by Section 2(c). A stock option may not be in the form
of an Incentive Stock Option and therefore will not qualify for favorable
federal tax treatment. The Shares covered by a stock option may be purchased
by means of a cash payment or such other means as the Plan Administrator may
from time to time permit, including without limitation (i) tendering (either
actually or by attestation) Shares valued using the market price at the time of
exercise, (ii) authorizing a third party to sell Shares (or a sufficient
portion thereof) acquired upon exercise of a stock option and to remit to the
Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay for all the Shares
acquired through such exercise and any tax withholding obligations resulting
from such exercise; (iii) crediting toward the purchase price amounts from
individuals’ deferred compensation account balances, including accrued dividend
equivalent balances; or (iv) any combination of the above.

(c)  Stock Appreciation Right. A stock appreciation right is a right to receive
a payment in cash, Shares or a combination, equal to the excess of the
aggregate market price at time of exercise of a specified number of Shares over
the aggregate exercise price of the stock appreciation rights being exercised.

(d)  Stock Award. A stock award is a grant of Shares or of a right to receive
Shares (or their cash equivalent or a combination of both) in the future. Each
stock award shall be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies
as the Plan Administrator shall determine. These may include continuous
service and/or the achievement of performance goals. The performance goals
that may be used by the Plan Administrator for such awards shall consist of
cash generation targets, profit, revenue and market share targets,
profitability targets as measured by return ratios, and shareholder returns.
The Plan Administrator may designate a single goal criterion or multiple goal
criteria for performance measurement purposes with the measurement based on
absolute Company or business unit performances and/or on performance as
compared with that of other publicly-traded companies.

(e)  Cash Award. A cash award is a right denominated in cash or cash units to
receive a payment, which may be in the form of cash, Shares or a combination,
based on the attainment of pre-established performance goals and such other
conditions, restrictions

6

 

and contingencies as the Plan Administrator shall determine. The performance
goals that may be used by the Plan Administrator for such awards shall consist
of cash generation targets, profits, revenue and market share targets,
profitability targets as measured by return ratios and shareholder returns.
The Plan Administrator may designate a single goal criterion or multiple goal
criteria for performance measurement purposes with the measurement based on
absolute Company or business unit performance and/or on performance as compared
with that of other publicly-traded companies.

(f)  Warrants. A warrant represents a right to purchase a specified number of
Shares during a specified period at a price per Share which is no less than
that required by Section 2(c). A warrant may be in the form of warrant that
will qualify for favorable tax treatment in a foreign jurisdiction. The Shares
covered by a warrant may be purchased by means of a cash payment or such other
means as the Plan Administrator may from time to time permit, including without
limitation (i) tendering (either actually or by attestation) Shares valued
using the market price at the time of exercise, (ii) authorizing a third party
to sell Shares (or a sufficient portion thereof) acquired upon exercise of a
warrant and to remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds
to pay for all the Shares acquired through such exercise and any tax
withholding obligations resulting from such exercise; (iii) crediting toward
the purchase price amounts from individuals’ deferred compensation account
balances, including accrued dividend equivalent balances; or (iv) any
combination of the above.

	 	5.	 	Award Settlement and Payments

(a)  Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. An award may contain the right to
receive dividends or dividend equivalent payments which may be paid currently
or credited to a participant’s account. Any such crediting of dividends or
dividend equivalents or reinvestment in Shares may be subject to such
conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Plan Administrator shall
establish, including the reinvestment of such credited amounts in Share
equivalents.

(b)  Payments. Awards may be settled through cash payments, the delivery of
Shares, the granting of awards or combination thereof as the Plan Administrator
shall determine. Any award settlement, including payment deferrals, may be
subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Plan
Administrator shall determine. The Plan Administrator may permit or require
the deferral of any award payment, subject to such rules and procedures as it
may establish, which may include provisions for the payment or crediting of
interest, or dividend equivalents, including converting such credits into
deferred Share equivalents.

	 	6.	 	Plan Amendment and Termination

(a)  Amendments. The Board may amend this Plan as it deems necessary and
appropriate to better achieve the Plan’s purpose; provided, however, that if
any amendment to the Plan would require approval of the Company’s stockholders
under

7

 

applicable law, or under the rules or guidelines of any exchange or automatic
quotation system on which the Shares are traded or included, then, in any of
such events, such stockholder approval of any such amendment shall also be
obtained.

(b)  Plan Suspensions and Termination. The Board may suspend or terminate this
Plan at any time. Any such suspension or termination shall not of itself
impair any outstanding award granted under the Plan or the applicable
participant’s rights regarding such award. If not earlier terminated, this
Plan shall terminate upon the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the
Plan. Unless an earlier termination is specified, awards granted under the
Plan shall terminate upon the tenth anniversary of their date of grant.

	 	7.	 	Miscellaneous

(a)  No Individual Rights. No person shall have any claim or right to be
granted an award under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken
hereunder shall be construed as giving any employee or other person any right
to continue to be employed by or to perform services for the Company, any
subsidiary or related entity. The right to terminate the employment of or
performance of services by any Plan participant at any time and for any reason
is specifically reserved to the employing entity.

(b)  Binding Arbitration. Any dispute or disagreement regarding participation
and/or an award recipient’s rights under the Plan shall be settled solely by
binding arbitration in accordance with the applicable rules of the American
Arbitration Association.

(c)  Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded and shall not create (or be
construed to create) a trust or a separate fund or funds. The Plan shall not
establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any participant or
beneficiary of a participant. To the extent any person holds any obligation of
the Company by virtue of an award granted under the Plan, such obligation shall
merely constitute a general unsecured liability of the Company and accordingly
shall not confer upon such person any right, title or interest in any assets of
the Company.

(d)  Other Benefit and Compensation Programs. Unless otherwise specifically
determined by the Plan Administrator, settlements of awards received by
participants under the Plan shall not be deemed a part of a participant’s
regular, recurring compensation for purposes of calculating payments or
benefits from any Company benefit plan or severance program. Further, the
Company may adopt other compensation programs, plans or arrangements as it
deems appropriate.

(e)  No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered
pursuant to the Plan or any award, and the Plan Administrator shall determine
whether cash shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares, or
whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be cancelled.

8

 

(f)  Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any award is or becomes or
is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or would
disqualify the Plan or any award under any law deemed applicable by the Plan
Administrator, such provisions shall be construed or deemed amended to conform
to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without,
in the determination of the Plan Administrator, materially altering the purpose
or intent of the Plan or the award, such provision shall be stricken as to such
jurisdiction or award, and the remainder of the Plan or any such award shall
remain in full force and effect.

(g)  Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan or any
award, and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan or any award, shall
be determined in accordance with applicable federal laws and the laws of the
State of Delaware.
