4.     Administration of the Plan.

 

(a) Procedure.

 

(i)            Composition of the Administrator. The Plan will be administered by (A) the board, or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee will be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws. Once appointed, a Committee will serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. The Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members, remove members (with or without cause) and substitute new members, fill vacancies (however caused), and remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after such time as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Plan will be administered only by a Committee, which will then consist solely of persons who are both “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

 

(ii)           Multiple Administrative Bodies. The Plan may be administered by different bodies with respect to Directors, Officers who are not Director, and Employees and Consultants who are neither Directors nor Officers.

 

(b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated by the Board to that Committee, the Administrator will have the authority, in its discretion:

 

(i)            to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, in accordance with Section 2(n);

 

(ii)           to select the Consultants and Employees to whom Options may be granted;

 

(iii)          to determine whether and to what extent Options are granted;

 

(iv)          to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Option granted;

 

(v)           to approve forms of Option Agreement;

 

(vi)          to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, of any grant of Options, including, but not limited to,

 

4

 

(A) the Options’ exercise price, (B) the time or times when Options may be exercised, which may be based on performance criteria or other reasonable conditions such as Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant, or continuous service as a Director, (C) any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Option or the Optioned Stock, based in each case on factors that the Administrator determines in its sole discretion, including but not limited to a requirement subjecting the Optioned Stock to (i) certain restrictions on transfer (including without limitation a right of first refusal in favor of the Company and/or any stockholders of the Company), and (ii) a right of repurchase in favor of the Company upon termination of the Optionee’s employment;

 

(vii)         to reduce the exercise price of any Option to the Fair Market Value at the time of the reduction, if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered by that Option has declined since the date it was granted;

 

(viii)       to construe and interpret the terms of this Plan;

 

(ix)          to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to the administration of this Plan;

 

(x)           to modify or amend each Option, subject to Section 15(c);

 

(xi)          to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Option previously granted by the Administrator;

 

(xii)         to institute an Option Exchange Program;

 

(xiii)        to determine the terms and restrictions applicable to Options; and

 

(xiv)        to make all other determinations it considers necessary or advisable for administering this Plan.

 

(c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations will be final and binding on all Optionees and any other holders of Options.

 

5.     Eligibility.

 

Options granted under this Plan may be Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options, as determined by the Administrator at the time or grant. Nonstatutory Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Consultants and Directors. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.

 

5

 

6.     Limitations.

 

(a) Designation. Each Option will be designated in the Notice of Grant as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designations, if the Shares subject to an Optionee’s Incentive Stock Options (granted under all plans of the Company), which become exercisable for the first time during any calendar year, have a Fair Market Value in excess of $100,000, the Options accounting for this excess will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the time of grant.

 

(b) Individual Limit. From and after such time as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, no Optionee may receive grants, during any fiscal year of the Company or portion thereof, of Incentive Stock Options and Nonstatutory Stock Options which, in the aggregate, cover more than one-half of the Shares available under the Plan, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13. If an Option expires or terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased shares subject to that expired or terminated Option will continue to count against the maximum numbers of shares for which Options may be granted to an Optionee during any fiscal year of the Company or portion thereof.

 

(c) No Employment Rights. Neither this Plan nor any Option will confer upon an Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee’s employment or consulting relationship with the Company, or continuing service as a Director, nor will they interfere in any way with the Optionee’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such employment or consulting relationship or directorship at any time, with or without cause.

 

7.     Term of the Plan.

 

Subject to Section 19, this Plan will become effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the stockholders of the Company as described in Section 19. It will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless terminated earlier under Section 15. Unless otherwise provided in this Plan, its termination will not affect the validity of any Option Agreement outstanding at the date of termination.

 

8.     Term of Option.

 

The term of each Option will be stated in the Notice of Grant; provided, however, that in no event may the term be more than ten (10) years from the date of grant. In addition, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of capital stock of the Company, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from the date of grant or any shorter term specified in the Notice of Grant.

9.     Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

 

(a) Exercise Price. The price per share exercise price for the Share to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option will be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following:

 

(i)            In the case of an Incentive Stock Option;

 

(A)           granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of capital stock of the Company, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

 

(B)           granted to any other Employee, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

 

(ii)           In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option;

 

(A)          granted to an Employee, Consultant, Icon or Director who, at the time the Nonstatutory Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of capital stock of the Company, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

 

(B)           granted to any other Employee, Consultant or Director, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

 

(b) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator will fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and will determine any conditions which must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised. Exercise of an Option may be conditioned upon performance criteria or other reasonable conditions such as Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or continuous service as a Director.

 

(c) Form of Consideration. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. Such consideration may consist partially or entirely of:

 

(i)            cash;

 

(ii)           a promissory note made by the Optionee in favor of the Company;

 

7

 

(iii)          other Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which an Option will be exercised;

 

(iv)          delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with any other documentation as the Administrator and the Optionee’s broker, if applicable, requires to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price; or

 

(v)           any other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

 

10.   Exercise of Option.

 

(a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at times and under conditions determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement; provided, however, that an Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

 

An Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised, and (iii) all representations, indemnifications and documents reasonably requested by the Administrator. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and this Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse. Until the stock certificate evidencing such Shares is issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. Subject to the provisions of Sections 12, 16, and 17, the Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such stock certificate promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator in its discretion may require the Company to retain possession of any certificate evidencing Shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an Option, if those Shares remain subject to repurchase under the provisions of the Option Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and the Optionee, or if those Shares are collateral for a loan or obligation due to the Company.

 

Exercising an Option in any manner will decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of this Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

 

(b) Termination of Employment or Consulting Relationship or Directorship. If an Optionee holds exercisable Options on the date his or her Continuous Status as an Employee

 

8

 

or Consultant or continuous service as a Director terminates (other than because of death or Disability), the Optionee may exercise those Options until the earlier of (i) their expiration as set forth in the Notice of Grant, and (ii) 30 days after the date of such termination (or a longer period determined by the Administrator). If the Optionee is not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option at the date of such termination, the Shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If the Optionee does not exercise an Option within the time specified above after termination, that Option will expire, and the Shares covered by it will revert to the Plan.

 

(c) Disability of Optionee. If an Optionee holds exercisable Options on the date his or her Continuous Status as an Employee, Consultant or Icon or continuous service as a Director terminates because of Disability, the Optionee (or legal representative) may exercise those Options until the earlier of (i) their expiration as set forth in the Notice of Grant, and (ii) six (6) months after the date of such termination (or a longer period determined by the Administrator). If the Optionee is not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option at the date of such termination, the Shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If the Optionee does not exercise an Option within the time specified above after termination, that Option will expire, and the Shares covered by it will revert to the Plan.

 

(d) Death of Optionee. If an Optionee holds exercisable Options on the date his or her death, the Optionee’s estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance may exercise those Options until the earlier of (i) their expiration as set forth in the Notice of Grant, and (ii) six (6) months after the date of death (or a longer period determined by the Administrator). If the Optionee is not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option at the date of death, the Shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If the Optionee’s estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance does not exercise an Option within the time specified above after termination, that Option will expire, and the Shares covered by it will revert to the Plan.

 

(e) Disqualifying Dispositions of Incentive Stock Options. If Common Stock acquired upon exercise of any Incentive Stock Option is disposed of in a disposition that, under Section 422 of the Code, disqualifies the holder from the application of Section 421(a) of the Code, the holder of the Common Stock immediately before the disposition will comply with any requirements imposed by the Company in order to enable the Company to secure the related income tax deduction to which it is entitled in such event.

 

11.   Non-Transferability of Options.

 

(a) No Transfer. An Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.

 

(b) Designation of Beneficiary. An Optionee may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any Options that remain unexercised in the event of the Optionee’s death. If a participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent will be required for the designation to be effective. The Optionee may

 

9

 

change such designation of beneficiary at any time by written notice to the Administrator, subject to the above spousal consent requirement.

 

(c) Effect of No Designation. If an Optionee dies and there is no beneficiary, validly designated under Section 11(b) and living at the time of the Optionee’s death, the Company will deliver such Optionee’s Options to the executor or administrator of his or her estate, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such Options to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the Optionee, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.

 

(d) Death of Spouse or Dissolution of Marriage. If an Optionee designates his or her spouse as beneficiary under Section 11(b), that designation will be deemed automatically revoked if the Optionee’s marriage is later dissolved. Similarly, any designation of a beneficiary under Section 11(b) will be deemed automatically revoked upon the death of the beneficiary if the beneficiary predeceases the Optionee. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the interest in Options of a spouse of an Optionee who has predeceased the Optionee or whose marriage has been dissolved will automatically pass to the Optionee, and will not be transferable by such spouse in any manner, including but not limited to such spouse’s will, nor will any such interest pass under the laws of interstate succession.

 

12.   Withholding Taxes.

 

The Company will have the right to take whatever steps the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to comply will all applicable federal, state, local, and employment tax withholding requirements, and the Company’s obligations to deliver Shares upon the exercise of an Option will be conditioned upon compliance will all such withholding tax requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the exercise of an Option, the Company will have the right to withhold taxes from any other compensation or other amounts which it may owe to the Optionee, or to require the Optionee to pay to the Company the amount of any taxes which the Company may be required to withhold with respect to the Shares issued on such exercise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator in its discretion may authorize the Optionee to satisfy all or part of any withholding tax liability by (a) having the Company without from the Shares which would otherwise be issued on the exercise of an Option that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value, as of the date the withholding tax liability arises, equal to or less than the amount of the Company’s withholding tax liability, or (b) by delivering to the Company previously-owned and unencumbered Shares of the Common Stock having a Fair Market Value, as of the date the withholding tax liability arises, equal to or less than the amount of the Company’s withholding tax liability.

 

13.   Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger, Asset Sale or Change of Control.

 

(a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities of the Company or a

 

10

 

 

successor entity, or for other property (including without limitation, cash), through reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock combination, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, spin off or other similar transaction, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment will be made in the number and kind of shares as to which Options may be granted under this Plan. A corresponding adjustment changing the number or kind of shares allocated to unexercised Options which have been granted prior to any such change, will likewise be made. Any such adjustment in the outstanding Options will be made without change in the aggregate purchase price applicable to the unexercised portion of the Options but with a corresponding adjustment in the price for each share or other unit of any security covered by the Option. Such adjustment will be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect will be final, binding, and conclusive.

 

Where an adjustment under this Section 13(a) is made to an Incentive Stock Option, the adjustment will be made in a manner which will not be considered a “modification” under the provisions of subsection 424(h)(3) of the Code.

 

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, to the extent that an Option had not been previously exercised, it will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation. In such instance, the Administrator may, in the exercise of its sole discretion, declare that any Option will terminate as of a date fixed by the Administrator and give each Optionee the right to exercise his or her Option as to all or any part of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable.

 

(c) Corporate Transaction. Upon the happening of a “Corporate Transaction” (as defined below), the Administrator, may, in its discretion, do one or more of the following: (i) shorten the period during which Options are exercisable (provided they remain exercisable for at least 30 days after the date notice of such shortening is given to the Optionees); (ii) accelerate any vesting schedule to which an Option is subject; (iii) arrange to have the surviving or successor entity assume the Options or grant replacement options with appropriate adjustments in the option prices and adjustments in the number and kind of securities issuable upon exercise or adjustments so that the Options or their replacements represent the right to purchase the shares of stock, securities or other property (including cash) as may be issuable or payable as a result of such Corporate Transaction with respect to or in exchange for the number of Shares of Common Stock purchasable and receivable upon exercise of the Options had such exercise occurred in full prior to such Corporate Transaction; or (iv) cancel Options upon payment to the Optionees in cash, with respect to each Option to the extent then exercisable (including any Options as to which the exercise has been accelerated as contemplated in clause (ii) above), of any amount that is the equivalent of the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock (at the effective time of the merger, reorganization, sale of other event) over the exercise price of the Option. The Administrator may also provide for one or more of the foregoing alternatives in any particular Option Agreement. In the case of a Corporate Transaction, the Administrator may, in considering the advisability or the terms and conditions of any acceleration of the exercisability of any Option pursuant to this Section 13(c), take into account the penalties that may result directly or indirectly from such acceleration to either the Company or the Optionee, or both, under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, and may decide to limit such acceleration to the extent necessary to avoid or mitigate such penalties or their effects. For

 

11

 

purposes of this Section 13(c), a “Corporate Transaction” means the occurrence of any of the following:

 

(1) Any “Person” or “Group” (as such terms are defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) is or becomes the “Beneficial Owner” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company, or of any entity resulting from a merger or consolidation involving the Company, representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company or such entity.

 

(2) The individuals who, as of the date hereof, are members of the Board (the “Existing Directors”), cease, for any reason, to constitute more than 50% of the number of authorized directors of the Company as determined in the manner prescribed in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; provided, however, that if the election, or nomination for election, by the Company’s stockholders of any new director was approved by a vote of at least 50% of the Existing Directors, such new director will be considered an Existing Director; provided  further,  however, that no individual will be considered an Existing Director if such individual initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened “Election Contest” (as described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies by or on behalf of anyone other than the Board (a “Proxy Contest”), including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest.

 

(3) The consummation of (a) a merger, consolidation or reorganization to which the Company is a party, whether or not the Company is the Person surviving or resulting therefrom, or (b) a sale, assignment, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to any Person other than the Company, where any such transaction or series of related transactions as is referred to in clause (a) or clause (b) of this Section 13(c)(3) (a “Transaction”) does not otherwise result in a “Corporate Transaction” pursuant to Section 13(c)(1); provided, however, that no such Transaction will constitute a “Corporate Transaction” under this Section 13(c)(3) if the Persons who were the stockholders of the Company immediately before the consummation of such Transaction are the Beneficial Owners, immediately following the consummation of such Transaction,

 

12

 

of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Person surviving or resulting from any merger, consolidation or reorganization referred to in clause (a) of this Section 13(c)(3) or the Person to whom the assets of the Company are sold, assigned, leased, conveyed or disposed of in any transaction or series of related transactions referred in clause (b) of this Section 13(c)(3).

 

14.         Date of Grant.

 

The date of grant of an Option will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option, or any other, later date determined by the Administrator and specified in the Notice of Grant. Notice of the determination will be provided to each Optionee within a reasonable time after the date of grant.

 

15.         Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

 

(a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter or suspend or terminate the Plan.

 

(b) Stockholder Approval. The Company will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment that increases the number of Shares for which Options may be granted, or to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Section 422 of the Code (or any successor statute) or other Applicable Laws, or the requirements of any exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted. Such stockholder approval, if required, will be obtained in such a manner and to such a degree as is required by the Applicable Law or requirement.

 

(c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan will impair the rights of an Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator. Any such agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.

 

16.         Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

 

(a) Legal Compliance. Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with all Applicable Laws, and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. Any securities delivered under the Plan will be subject to such restrictions, and the person acquiring such securities will, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Company may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all Applicable Laws. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Plan and Options granted hereunder will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

 

(b) Investment Representation. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the

 

13

 

time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell, transfer, or distribute such Shares.

 

17.         Liability of Company.

 

(a) Inability to Obtain Authority. If the Company cannot, by the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts, obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction for the sale of any Shares under this Plan, and such authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of those Shares, the Company will be relieved of any liability for failing to issue or sell those Shares.

 

(b) Grants Exceeding Allotted Shares. If the Optioned Stock covered by an Option exceeds, as of the date of grant, the number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan without additional stockholder approval, that Option will be void with respect to such excess Optioned Stock, unless stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of Shares subject to this Plan is timely obtained in accordance with Section 15(b).

 

(c) Rights of Participants and Beneficiaries. The Company will pay all amounts payable under this Plan only to the Optionee or beneficiaries entitled thereto pursuant to this Plan. The Company will not be liable for the debts, contracts, or engagements of any Optionee or his or her beneficiaries, and rights to cash payments under this Plan may not be taken in execution by attachment or garnishment, or by any other legal or equitable proceeding while in the hands of the Company.

 

18.         Reservation of Shares.

 

The Company will at all times reserve and keep available a number of Shares sufficient to satisfy this Plan’s requirements during its Term.

 

19.         Stockholder Approval.

 

Continuance of this Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within 12 months before or after the date of its adoption. Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws. Options may be granted but may not be exercised prior to stockholder approval of the Plan. If any Options are so granted and stockholder approval is not obtained within 12 months of the date of adoption of this Plan by the Board of Directors, those Options will terminate retroactively as of the date they were granted.

 

20.         Legending Share Certificates.

 

In order to enforce any restrictions imposed upon Common Stock issued upon exercise of an Option granted under this Plan or to which such Common Stock may be subject, the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any share certificates representing such Common Stock, which legend or legends will make appropriate reference to such restrictions, including, but not limited to, a restriction against sale of such Common Stock for any period of time as may be required by Applicable Laws. If any restriction with respect to which a legend was placed on any certificate ceases to apply to Common Stock represented by such certificate, the owner of the Common Stock

 

14

 

represented by such certificate may require the Company to cause the issuance of a new certificate not bearing the legend. Additionally, and not by way of limitation, the Administrator may impose such restrictions on any Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan as it may deem advisable.

 

21.         Governing Law.

 

The Plan will be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California (without giving effect to conflicts of law principles).

LEGALZOOM.COM, INC.

 

NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 

1.             Grant of Option. The Administrator of the Company hereby grants to the Optionee (the “Optionee”), named in the Notice of Stock Option Grant attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Notice of Grant”), an option (the “Option”) to purchase a number of Shares, as set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Exercise Price”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Legalzoom.com, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Agreement.

 

2.             Exercise of Option.

 

(a)           Right of Exercise. This Option is exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Grant and the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Agreement. In the event of Optionee’s death, Disability or other termination of Optionee’s employment or consulting relationship, the exercise of the Option is governed by the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Agreement.

 

(b)           Method of Exercise. This Option is exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Exercise Notice”) which will state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), a fully executed copy of a Joinder to the Stockholders Agreement and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan or to comply with applicable law. The Exercise Notice will be signed by the Optionee and will be delivered in person or by certified mail to the Secretary of the Company. The Exercise Notice will be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares. This Option will be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by such aggregate Exercise Price and any additional documentation required by the Company.

 

No Exercised Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless such issuance and exercise complies with all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Exercised Shares are then listed. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Exercised Shares will be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date the Option is exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares.

 

(c)           Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price will be in United States Dollars, by certified check, bank cashier’s check, or wire transfer to a bank specified by the Company, or, at the Company’s option, by any other means of payment which the Company, in its sole and exclusive judgement, finds satisfactory.

 

 

3.             Non-Transferability of Option.  This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by the Optionee. The terms of the Plan and this Agreement will be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

 

4.             Term of Option.  This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Agreement.

 

5.             Not an Employment or Service Contract.  Nothing in this Option or in the Plan will be construed as an agreement by the Company, express or implied, to employ Optionee or contract for Optionee’s services, to restrict the right of the Company to discharge Optionee or cease contracting for Optionee’s services or to modify, extend or otherwise affect in any manner whatsoever, the terms of any employment agreement or contract for services which may exist between the Optionee and the Company.

 

6.             Company’s Right to Settle Option.  If the Optionee’s beneficiary exercises this Option in accordance with the Plan and this Agreement at any time following Optionee’s death, the Company will have the right, in lieu of delivering the Exercised Shares as to which this Option is exercised, to return to the Optionee’s beneficiary any exercise price delivered for the attempted exercise and pay to Optionee’s beneficiary an amount in cash equal to the Option Value of that portion of the Option as to which exercise is sought. Such right will be exercised, if at all, within 30 days of receipt by the Company of notice of the attempted exercise. “Option Value” will mean, with respect to this Option or any portion thereof, an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Shares subject to the Option or portion thereof, multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value over the Exercise Price.

 

7.             Optionee’s Representations:  The Optionee hereby represents as follows:

 

(a)           The Optionee has received and reviewed the Plan.

 

(b)           The Optionee acknowledges that the Options are nonstatutory stock options not intended to qualify as incentive stock options under the Plan.

 

(c)           The Optionee understands that there may be tax implications, including federal alternative minimum tax implications, attendant to both the grant and the exercise of this Option. The Optionee has been given the opportunity to consult with the Optionee’s own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences of acquiring and exercising the Options and acquiring, holding, and disposing of the Exercised Shares, including the applicability and effect of any state, local or foreign tax laws. In entering into this Agreement, the Optionee has not relied on any representations or advice from the Company concerning these potential tax implications.

 

(d)           The Options and the Exercised Shares will be subject to the resale restrictions of Rule 701(c) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

8.             Arbitration

 

(a)           Any controversy, dispute, or claim (“Claim”) between the parties to this Agreement or any party released pursuant to it, whether arising under the common law or any statute, including any Claim arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement, will be resolved exclusively by arbitration, before a single arbitrator, conducted in Los Angeles, California, in accordance with the then most applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court of appropriate jurisdiction. Such arbitration will be administered by the AAA if either of the parties requests such administration.

 

(b)           If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, they will select a single arbitrator from a list of nine arbitrators drawn by the parties at random from a directory provided by AAA. If they are still unable to agree on one of the nine persons drawn at random, the parties will each strike names alternately from the list, with the first to strike being determined by lot. After each party has used four strikes, the remaining name on the list will be the arbitrator.

 

(c)           This Agreement to resolve any disputes by binding arbitration will extend to claims against any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of each party, and, when acting within such capacity, any officer, director, stockholder, employee or agent of each party, or of any of the above, and will apply as well to claims arising out of state and federal statutes and local ordinances as well as to claims arising under the common law. In the event of a dispute subject to this paragraph, the parties will be entitled to reasonable discovery subject to the discretion of the arbitrator. The remedial authority of the arbitrator will be the same as, but no greater than, would be the remedial power of a court having jurisdiction over the parties and their dispute. In the event of a conflict between the then most applicable rules of the AAA and these procedures, the provisions of these procedures will govern.

 

(d)           Any filing or administrative fees will be borne initially by the party requesting administration by the AAA. If both parties request such administration, the initial fees and costs of the arbitrator will be borne equally between the parties. The prevailing party in such arbitration, as determined by the arbitrator, and in any enforcement or other court proceedings, will be entitled, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to reimbursement from the other party for all of the prevailing party’s costs (including, but not limited to, the arbitrator’s compensation), expenses, and attorneys’ fees.

 

(e)           The arbitrator will render a written opinion and an award which will be final and binding upon the parties.

 

9.             General Provisions.

 

(a)           All notices or other communications that will or may be given pursuant to this Agreement, will be in writing, will be sent by certified or registered air mail with postage prepaid, return receipt requested, by facsimile, overnight courier, or by hand delivery. Such communications will be deemed given and received on confirmed transmission, if sent by facsimile; or upon delivery if sent by overnight courier or hand

delivered; or within three business days of mailing, if sent by certified or registered mail, to such address as may be designated from time to time by the relevant party. No objection may be made to the manner of delivery of any notice actually received in writing by an authorized agent of a party. Any party may change his, her or its address for notices by written notice given to all other parties hereto in accordance with the foregoing procedures.

 

(b)           If any provision of this Agreement is held to be void, invalid or inoperative, such event will not affect any other provisions herein, which will continue and remain in full force and effect as though such void, invalid or inoperative provision had not been a part hereof.

 

(c)           None of the provisions of this Agreement are intended to benefit, or to be enforceable by, any third-party beneficiaries.

 

(d)           No provision of this Agreement will be deemed waived and no breach excused unless such waiver or consent excusing the breach is made in writing and signed by the waiving party. No course of dealing with or failure of either party to strictly enforce any term, right or condition of this Agreement will be construed as a waiver of such provision. A waiver by a party of any provision of this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement.

 

(e)           Any terms or conditions of this Agreement which by their express terms extend beyond termination of this Agreement or which by their nature should so extend will survive and continue in full force and effect after any termination of this Agreement.

 

(f)            This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and, except for any employment, consulting or confidentiality agreements between the parties, supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications with respect hereto, all of which are merged herein. This Agreement will not be modified, amended, or in any way altered except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

 

(g)           The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to the principles of conflicts of law.

The Board amended and restated the LegalZoom.com, Inc. 2007 Stock Option Plan to become the Plan on the Restatement Date and renamed it the “LegalZoom.com, Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive Plan.” The Plan is effective on the Restatement Date subject to approval by the Company’s Series A Preferred stockholders as needed to authorize the ability to grant SARs, Stock Awards and/or Stock Units.

4.             Administration of the Plan.

 

(a)           Administrator. Unless and until the Board delegates administration to a Committee as set forth below, the Plan shall be administered by the Board. The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees of one or more members of the Board, and the term “Committee” shall refer to any person or persons to whom such authority has been delegated. If administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers therefore possessed by the Board, including the powers to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board shall thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee), subject,. however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, from and after the Public Trading Date, a Committee of the Board shall administer the Plan and the Committee shall consist solely of two or more Independent Directors each of whom is both an “outside director,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, and a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, and qualifies as “independent” within the meaning of any applicable stock exchange listing requirements. Members of the Committee shall also satisfy any other legal requirements applicable to membership on the Committee, including without limitation, requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other Applicable Laws.

 

Within the scope of its authority, the Board or the Committee may (i) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not Independent Directors the authority to grant awards under the Plan to Service Providers who are either (1) not then “covered employees,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and are not expected to be “covered employees” at the time of recognition of income resulting from such award or (2) not Service Providers with respect to whom the Company wishes to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code and/or (ii) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not “non-employee directors,” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, the authority to grant awards under the Plan to Service Providers who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The Board may abolish the Committee at any time and revest in the Board the administration of the Plan. The governance of the Committee shall be subject to the charter of the Committee, if any, as approved by the Board. Any action taken by the Committee shall be valid and effective,

 

6

 

whether or not members of the Committee at the time of such action are later determined not to have satisfied the requirements for membership set forth in this Section 4(a) or otherwise provided in the charter of the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the full Board, acting by a majority of its members in office, shall conduct the general administration of the Plan with respect to Awards granted to Independent Directors.

 

(b)           Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities, the Administrator shall have the authority in its sole discretion:

 

(i)            to determine the Fair Market Value;

 

(ii)           to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may from time to time be granted hereunder;

 

(iii)          to issue and administer Awards granted under the Plan;

 

(iv)          to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

 

(v)           to determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder (such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may vest or be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine);

 

(vi)          to determine whether to offer to buyout a previously granted Award and to determine the terms and conditions of such offer and buyout (including whether payment is to be made in cash or Shares) and to Re-Price outstanding Options or SARs on terms and conditions that it determines;

 

(vii)         to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws;

 

(viii)        to allow Holders to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Award that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld based on the statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes that apply to supplemental taxable income. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by Holders to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable;

 

(ix)           to amend the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan as provided in Section 18 hereof; and

 

7

 

(x)            to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan and to exercise such powers and perform such acts as the Administrator deems necessary or desirable to promote the best interests of the Company which are not in conflict with the provisions of the Plan.

 

(c)           Effect of Administrator’s Decision. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all Holders and afforded the maximum deference permitted by Applicable Laws.

 

(d)           Successor Provisions. Any reference to a statute, rule or regulation, or to a section of a statute, rule or regulation, is a reference to that statute, rule, regulation, or section as amended from time to time, and including any successor provisions.

 

5.             Eligibility.

 

(a)           Awards may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or of a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” thereof within the meaning of Section 424(e) and 424(f), respectively, of the Code.

 

(b)           In order to assure the viability of Awards granted to Service Providers in foreign countries, the Administrator may provide for such special terms as it may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy, or custom. Moreover, the Administrator may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements, or alternative versions of, the Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of the Plan as in effect for any other purpose; provided, that no such supplements, amendments, restatements, or alternative versions shall increase the share limitations contained in Section 3 of the Plan.

 

6.             Limitations.

 

(a)           Each Option shall be designated by the Administrator in the Option Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designations, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares subject to a Holder’s Incentive Stock Options and other incentive stock options granted by the Company or any parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” thereof within the meaning of Section 424(e) and 424(f), respectively, of the Code, which become exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” thereof within the meaning of Section 424(e) and 424(f), respectively, of the Code) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options or other options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time of grant.

 

(b)           Neither the Plan nor any Award shall confer upon a Holder any right with respect to continuing the Holder’s employment, directorship or consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall they interfere in any way with the Holder’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such employment, directorship or consulting relationship at any time, with or without Cause.

 

8

 

7.             Term of Plan. The Plan is effective upon the Restatement Date and shall continue in effect until it is terminated under Section 18 hereof. No Awards may be issued under the Plan after January 31, 2017.

 

8.             Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option Agreement; provided, that the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Holder who, at the time the Option is granted, owns (or is treated as owning under Section 424 of the Code) stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” thereof within the meaning of Section 424(e) and 424(f), respectively, of the Code, the term of the Option shall be no more than five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.

 

9.             Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

 

(a)           Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant (or, with respect to Incentive Stock Options or to the extent required to comply with Applicable Laws, in the case of an Option granted to a Service Provider who, at the time of grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” thereof within the meaning of Section 424(e) and 424(f), respectively, of the Code, the per share exercise price shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per share exercise price other than as required by this Section 9(a) pursuant to a merger or other corporate transaction, provided, that no such alternative exercise price shall be substituted to the extent that any such substitution would cause (i) any Options to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, or (ii) any Incentive Stock Options to cease to qualify as Incentive Stock Options.

 

(b)           Consideration. The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator. Such consideration may consist of (1) cash, (2) check or (3) with the consent of the Administrator, (A) a full recourse promissory note bearing interest (at no less than such rate as is a market rate of interest and which then precludes the imputation of interest under the Code), payable upon such terms as may be prescribed by the Administrator, and structured to comply with Applicable Laws, (B) other Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, (C) surrendered Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised portion thereof, (D) property of any kind which constitutes good and valuable consideration, (E) delivery of a notice that the Holder has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Options and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option exercise price, provided, that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale, or (F) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, after the Public Trading Date, no Participant who is a Director or an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of

 

9

 

Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act shall be permitted to pay the exercise or purchase price of any Award, or continue any extension of credit with respect to the exercise price of an Award, with a loan from the Company or a loan arranged by the Company in violation of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.

 

10.           Exercise of Option.

 

(a)           Vesting; Fractional Exercises. Options granted hereunder shall become vested and exercisable according to the terms hereof at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

 

(b)           Deliveries upon Exercise. All or a portion of an exercisable Option shall be deemed exercised upon delivery of all of the following to the Secretary of the Company or his or her office:

 

(i)            A written or electronic notice complying with the applicable rules established by the Administrator stating that the Option, or a portion thereof, is exercised. The notice shall be signed by the Holder or other person then entitled to exercise the Option or such portion of the Option;

 

(ii)           Such representations and documents as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable to effect compliance with Applicable Laws. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, also take whatever additional actions it deems appropriate to effect such compliance, including, without limitation, placing legends on share certificates and issuing stop transfer notices to agents and registrars; and

 

(iii)          In the event that the Option shall be exercised pursuant to Section 10(g) below by any person or persons other than the Holder, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.

 

(c)           Conditions to Delivery of Share Certificates. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for Shares acquired under any Award prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

 

(i)            The completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law, or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body which the Administrator shall, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or advisable;

 

(ii)           The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any domestic or foreign governmental agency which the Administrator shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable;

 

(iii)          The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise or vesting of an Award that the Administrator may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative convenience;

 

10

 

(iv)          The receipt by the Company of full payment for such Shares, including payment of any applicable withholding tax, which in the sole discretion of the Administrator may be in the form of consideration used by the Holder to pay for such Shares under Section 9(b) hereof, subject to Section 4(b)(viii) hereof; and

 

(v)           The Holder’s consent to such terms and conditions and execution of any agreements as the Administrator may require pursuant to the terms herein.

 

(d)           Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If a Holder ceases to be a Service Provider other than by reason of a termination by the Company for Cause or the Holder’s Disability or death, such Holder may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (taking into consideration any vesting that may occur in connection with such termination); provided, that prior to the Public Trading Date with respect to California Participants, such period of time shall not be less than thirty (30) days (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for thirty (30) days following the date of the Holder’s termination other than by reason of a termination by the Company for Cause or the Holder’s Disability or death. If, on the date of termination, the Holder is not vested as to his or her entire Option (taking into consideration any vesting that may occur in connection with such termination), the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately cease to be issuable under the Option and shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. If, after termination, the Holder does not exercise his or her Option within the time period specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall again become available for issuance under the Plan.

 

(e)           Termination for Cause. If a Holder ceases to be a Service Provider by reason of a termination by the Company for Cause, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator, the Option shall terminate upon the date of the Holder’s termination by the Company for Cause, regardless of whether the Option is then vested and/or exercisable with respect to any Shares.

 

(f)            Disability of Holder. If a Holder ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Holder’s Disability, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator, the Holder may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (taking into consideration any vesting that may occur in connection with such termination); provided that, with respect to California Participants, prior to the Public Trading Date, such period of time shall not be less than six (6) months (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Holder’s termination as a Service Provider due to Disability. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, if such Disability is not a “permanent and total disability” as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, such Incentive Stock Option shall automatically cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Non-Qualified Stock Option from and after the date which is three (3) months and one (1) day following the date of such termination. If, on the date of termination, the Holder is not vested as to his or her entire Option

 

11

 

(taking into consideration any vesting that may occur in connection with such termination), the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately cease to be issuable under the Option and shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. If, after termination, the Holder does not exercise his or her Option within the timeframe specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall again become available for issuance under the Plan.

 

(g)           Death of Holder. If a Holder dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested as of the date of death (taking into consideration any vesting that may occur in connection with such termination); provided, that prior to the Public Trading Date with respect to California Participants, such period of time shall not be less than six (6) months (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by the Holder’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (taking into consideration any vesting that may occur in connection with such termination). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the date of the Holder’s termination.

 

If, at the time of death, the Holder is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately cease to be issuable under the Option and shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. The Option may be exercised by the executor or administrator of the Holder’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Holder’s will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall again become available for issuance under the Plan.

 

(h)           Extension of Exercisability. The Administrator may provide in a Holder’s Option Agreement that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Holder’s status as a Service Provider or the Holder’s tender of already-owned Shares or the sale of Shares pursuant to a “cashless exercise” in connection with such exercise would violate applicable federal or state securities laws, then the Option shall not terminate until the earlier to occur of (i) the expiration of the term of the Option or (ii) the expiration of a period of three (3) months immediately following the first date on which the exercise of the Option (or such tender of already-owned Shares or sale of Shares pursuant to a “cashless exercise”) would not be in violation of such securities laws, as determined by the Administrator.

 

(i)            Early Exercisability. The Administrator may provide in the terms of a Holder’s Option Agreement that the Holder may, at any time before the Holder’s status as a Service Provider terminates, exercise the Option in whole or in part prior to the full vesting of the Option; provided, that subject to Section 21 hereof, Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option which has not fully vested may be subject to any forfeiture, transfer or other restrictions as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion.

 

12

 

11.           Terms and Conditions for Stock Appreciation Rights.

 

(a)           SAR Agreement. Each grant of a SAR shall be evidenced by a SAR Agreement between the Participant and the Company which (i) shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and (ii) may include other terms and conditions the Administrator deems appropriate which are not inconsistent with the Plan. A SAR Agreement may provide for a maximum limit on the amount of any payout notwithstanding the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise. The provisions of the various SAR Agreements need not be identical. SARs may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Participant’s other compensation.

 

(b)           Number of Shares. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of Shares to which the SAR pertains. Such number shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 16.

 

(c)           Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the exercise price. A SAR Agreement may specify an exercise price that varies in accordance with a predetermined formula while the SAR is outstanding. Except with respect to outstanding stock appreciation rights being assumed or SARs being granted in exchange for cancellation of stock appreciation rights granted by another issuer as provided under Section 11(f), the exercise price of a SAR shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

 

(d)           Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date all or any installment of the SAR will be exercisable and the term of the SAR which shall not exceed ten (10) years from the grant thereof. A SAR Agreement may provide (i) that a SAR will be exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control, (ii) accelerated exercisability of the SAR in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability or other events, and/or (iii) expiration prior to the end of its term in the event the Participant’s status as a Service Provider is terminated. SARs may be awarded in combination with Options or other Awards, and any such Award may require the forfeiture of related Options or other Awards in order to exercise the SAR. A SAR may be included in (i) an ISO only at the time the Award is granted or (ii) an NSO at the time the Award is granted or at any time thereafter, provided that, such inclusion occurs no later than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the term of such NSO.

 

(e)           Exercise of SARs. If, on the date when a SAR expires, the exercise price under such SAR is less than the Fair Market Value on such date but any portion of such SAR has not been exercised or surrendered, then such SAR may automatically be deemed to be exercised as of such date with respect to such portion to the extent so provided in the applicable SAR Agreement. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Participant (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after Participant’s death) shall receive from the Company (i) Shares, (ii) cash or (iii) any combination of Shares and cash, as the Administrator shall determine. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the exercise price of the Shares.

 

(f)            Modification and Assumption of SARs. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Administrator may modify, extend or assume outstanding stock appreciation rights or may accept the cancellation of outstanding stock appreciation rights (including stock appreciation rights granted by another issuer) in return for the grant of new SARs for the same or

 

13

 

a different number of Shares and at the same or a different exercise price. No modification of a SAR shall, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair his or her rights or obligations under the applicable SAR Agreement.

 

(g)           Assignment or Transfer of SARs. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable SAR Agreement and then only to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, no SAR or interest therein may be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable SAR Agreement, a SAR may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant or in the event of the death or Disability, by the guardian or legal representative of the Participant. No SAR or interest therein may be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

 

12.           Terms and Conditions for Stock Awards

 

(a)           Stock Award Agreement. Each Stock Award shall be evidenced by a Stock Award Agreement between the Participant and the Company which (i) shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and (ii) may include other terms and conditions the Administrator deems appropriate which are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various stock Awards Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

 

(b)           Payment for Stock Award. Stock Awards may be issued with or without consideration under the Plan. If and to the extent required, such consideration may be in the form of cash or other forms of consideration approved by the Administrator.

 

(c)           Vesting Conditions. Each Stock Award shall become vested, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Award Agreement. A Stock Award Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability, retirement or other events.

 

(d)           Assignment or Transfer of Stock Award. Except as provided in a Stock Award Agreement or as required by Applicable Laws, Stock Awards shall not be anticipated, assigned, attached, garnished, optioned, transferred or made subject to any creditor’s process, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law. Any act in violation of this Section 12(d) shall be void. However, this Section 12(d) shall neither preclude a Participant from designating a beneficiary who will receive any outstanding Stock Award in the event of the Participant’s death, nor preclude a transfer of a Stock Award by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

(e)           Trusts. Neither this Section 12 nor any other provision of the Plan shall preclude a Participant from transferring or assigning a Stock Award to (a) the trustee of a trust, provided that, such transfer or assignment is fully revocable by the Participant acting alone at any time prior to such Participant’s death, or (b) the trustee of any other trust to the extent the Administrator provides its prior written consent. The Stock Award held by any such trustee (i) shall be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and in the applicable Stock Award Agreement, as if such trustee was the Participant and (ii) may be transferred or

 

14

 

assigned to any person other than the Participant to the extent the Administrator provides its prior written consent.

 

(f)            Voting and Dividend Rights. Holders of a Stock Award (irrespective of whether the Shares subject to the Stock Award are vested or unvested) shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other stockholders. However, a Stock Award Agreement may require that the Holders of a Stock Award invest any cash dividends the Holder receives pursuant to a Stock Award in additional Shares. Such additional Shares shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Stock Award with respect to which the dividends were paid. Such additional Shares shall not reduce the number of Shares available under Section 3.

 

(g)           Modification or Assumption of Stock Awards. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Administrator may modify or assume outstanding stock awards or may accept the cancellation of outstanding stock awards (including stock granted by another issuer) in return for the grant of new Stock Awards for the same or a different number of Shares. No modification of a Stock Award shall, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair his or her rights or obligations under such Stock Award.

 

13.           Terms and Conditions for Stock Units.

 

(a)           Stock Unit Agreement. Each grant of Stock Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Unit Agreement between the Participant and the Company. Such Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan and that the Administrator deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Unit Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Unit Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Stock Units may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Participant’s other compensation.

 

(b)           Number of Shares. Each Stock Unit Agreement shall specify the number of Shares to which the Stock Unit Award pertains and is subject to adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 16.

 

(c)           Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Stock Units, no consideration shall be required of the Award recipients.

 

(d)           Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Stock Units may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Unit Agreement. A Stock Unit Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, or Disability or other events.

 

(e)           Voting and Dividend Rights. Stock Units shall have no voting rights. At the Administrator’s discretion and based on terms and conditions established by the Administrator, a Stock Unit may include a right to receive dividend equivalents prior to settlement or forfeiture which entitles the Holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Share per Stock Unit while the Stock Unit is outstanding. At the Administrator’s discretion, dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Stock Units.

 

15

 

At the Administrator’s discretion, settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Shares, or in a combination of both.

 

(f)            Form and Time of Settlement of Stock Units. Settlement of vested Stock Units may be made in the form of cash, Shares or any combination of both, as determined by the Administrator. The actual number of Stock Units eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the number included in the original Award. Methods of converting Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Shares over a series of trading days. Vested Stock Units shall generally be settled in a lump sum as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than thirty (30) days, after vesting. The distribution may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to the Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed. However, this distribution may be deferred, in accordance with Applicable Laws including but not limited to Code Section 409A, to a later specified date. The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Stock Units is settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 16.

 

(g)           Creditors’ Rights. A Holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Unit Agreement.

 

(h)           Modification or Assumption of Stock Units. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Administrator may modify or assume outstanding stock units or may accept the cancellation of outstanding stock units (including stock units granted by another issuer) in return for the grant of new Stock Units for the same or a different number of Shares. No modification of a Stock Unit shall, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair his or her rights or obligations under the applicable Stock Unit Agreement.

 

(i)            Assignment or Transfer of Stock Units. Except as provided in a Stock Unit Agreement, or as required by Applicable Laws, Stock Units shall not be anticipated, assigned, attached, garnished, optioned, transferred or made subject to any creditor’s process, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law. Any act in violation of this Section 13(i) shall be void. However, this Section 13(i) shall not preclude a Participant from designating a beneficiary who will receive any outstanding vested Stock Units in the event of the Participant’s death, nor shall it preclude a transfer of vested Stock Units by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

14.           Non-Transferability of Awards. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement and then only to the extent permitted by the Administrator and in accordance with Applicable Laws, Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Holder, only by the Holder.

 

15.           No Rights as Stockholders. Holders shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, stockholders of the Company in respect of any shares provided under an Award

 

16

unless and until certificates representing such shares have been issued by the Company to such Holders.

 

16.           Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Asset Sale.

 

(a)           In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or exchange or other disposition of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment becomes appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award, then the Administrator shall make adjustments to the Plan and any Award, including without limitation, equitable and proportionate adjustment to:

 

(i)            the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted or awarded (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3 hereof on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued under this Plan and as ISOs);

 

(ii)           the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards;

 

(iii)          the grant or exercise price with respect to any Option or SAR; and

 

(iv)          the number and kind of outstanding securities issued under the Plan.

 

(b)           In the event of any transaction or event described in subsection (a) above, the Administrator, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon the Holder’s request, shall take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award granted or issued under the Plan or to facilitate such transaction or event:

 

(i)            To provide for either (A) the purchase of all or any portion of such Award for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or conversion of such Award (or portion thereof) or realization of the Holder’s rights had such Award (or portion thereof) been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested or (B) the replacement of such Award (or portion thereof) with other awards, rights or property, including without limitation cash awards, selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion, which replacement awards may be subject to vesting or the lapsing of restrictions, as applicable, on terms no less favorable to the affected Holder than the terms of any Award for which such replacement award is substituted;

 

17

 

(ii)           To provide that such Award shall be exercisable as to all or any portion of the shares covered thereby and that some or all shares of such Award shall cease to be subject to restrictions, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the provisions of such Award;

 

(iii)          To provide that all or any portion of such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation or entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation or entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

 

(iv)          To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards which may be granted in the future; and

 

(v)           To provide that immediately upon the consummation of such event, such Award shall not be exercisable and shall terminate; provided, that for a period of time prior to such event specified in the sole discretion of the Administrator, such Award shall be exercisable as to all Shares covered thereby, and the restrictions imposed under an Award Agreement upon some or all Shares may be terminated and, some or all shares of such Award may cease to be subject to repurchase, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the provisions of such Award Agreement.

 

(c)           Subject to Section 3 hereof, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, include such further provisions and limitations in any Award as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company.

 

(d)           If the Company undergoes an Acquisition, then any surviving corporation or entity or acquiring corporation or entity, or affiliate of such corporation or entity, may assume any Awards outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar stock awards (including an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders in the transaction described in this subsection (d)) for those outstanding under the Plan. In the event any surviving corporation or entity or acquiring corporation or entity in an Acquisition, or affiliate of such corporation or entity, does not assume such Awards and does not substitute similar stock awards for those outstanding under the Plan, then with respect to (i) Awards held by participants in the Plan whose status as a Service Provider has not terminated prior to such event, the vesting of such Awards (and, if applicable, the time during which such awards may be exercised) shall be accelerated and made fully exercisable and all restrictions thereon shall lapse not later than immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition (and the Awards shall be terminated if not exercised prior to the closing of such Acquisition), and (ii) any other Awards outstanding under the Plan, such Awards shall be terminated if not exercised prior to the closing of the Acquisition.

 

(e)           The existence of the Plan, any Award Agreement and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Company or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or

 

18

 

consolidation of the Company, any issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Common Stock or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

 

17.           Time of Granting Awards. The date of grant of an Award shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Service Provider to whom an Award is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

 

18.           Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

 

(a)           Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time wholly or partially amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan. However, without approval of the Company’s stockholders given within twelve (12) months before or after the action by the Board, no action of the Board may, except as provided in Section 16 hereof, increase the limits imposed in Section 3 hereof on the maximum number of Shares which may be issued under the plan or extend the term of the Plan under Section 7 hereof.

 

(b)           Stockholder Approval. The Board shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws.

 

(c)           Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Holder, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Holder and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Holder and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted or awarded under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

 

19.           Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

 

20.           Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

 

21.           Repurchase Provisions. The Administrator in its sole discretion may provide that the Company may repurchase Shares acquired from an Award upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including, without limitation, a Holder’s termination as a Service Provider, divorce, bankruptcy or insolvency.

 

19

 

22.           Participant Representations. The Company may require a Plan participant, as a condition to the grant or exercise of, or acquisition of Shares under, any Award, (i) to give written representations satisfactory to the Company as to the participant’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters, and to give written representations satisfactory to the Company that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of the Award; (ii) to give written representations satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant is acquiring the Common Stock subject to the Award for the Participant’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the stock; and (iii) to give such other written representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel. The foregoing requirements, and any representations given pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if (A) the issuance of the shares upon the exercise or acquisition of stock under the applicable Award has been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (B) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the stock.

 

23.           Code Section 409A. To the extent applicable, the Plan and all award agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Administrator determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance, the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance. If upon a Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, he/she is then a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A), then solely to the extent necessary to comply with Code Section 409A and avoid the imposition of taxes under Code Section 409A, the Company shall defer payment of “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Code Section 409A payable as a result of and within six (6) months following such separation from service under this Plan until the earlier of (i) the first business day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service, or (ii) ten (10) days after the Company receives written confirmation of the Participant’s death. Any such delayed payments shall be made without interest.

 

24.           Governing Law. The validity and enforceability of this Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to otherwise governing principles of conflicts of law.

 

20

 

25.           Restrictions on Shares. Shares acquired under an Award shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, transferability restrictions, repurchase rights, requirements that Shares be transferred in the event of certain transactions, rights of first refusal with respect to permitted transfers of Shares, voting agreements, tag-along rights and bring-along rights. Such terms and conditions may, in the Administrator’s sole discretion, be contained in the applicable award agreement, exercise notice or in such other agreement as the Administrator shall determine, in each case in a form determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. The issuance of such Shares shall be conditioned on the Holder’s consent to such terms and conditions or the Holder’s entering into such agreement or agreements.

 

26.           Lock-Up Agreement. Each Holder shall agree, if so requested by the Company and an underwriter of shares of Common Stock in connection with any public offering of the Company, not to directly or indirectly offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares held by it for such period, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the relevant registration statement filed under the Securities Act in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of Common Stock or ninety (90) days following the effective date of the relevant registration statement filed under the Securities Act in connection with any other public offering of Common Stock, in each case as such underwriter shall specify reasonably and in good faith. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such 180-day period.

 

27.           Severability. If any provision of this Plan shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, then such contravention or invalidity shall not invalidate the entire Plan and the remainder of the provisions shall remain in full force and effect and in no way shall be affected, impaired or invalidated. Such defective provision shall be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid and enforceable, and if no such modification shall render it legal, valid and enforceable, then this Plan shall be construed as if not containing the provision held to be invalid.

The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement   by reference. You and the Company agree to execute such further instruments and   to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent   of this Agreement. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, certain capitalized   terms used in this Agreement and the attached Notice of Exercise are defined in   the Plan.

Vesting

Term
    	
 
    	
Your SAR will expire in any event at the close of   business at Company headquarters on the Expiration Date, as shown on the   cover sheet. Your SAR will expire earlier if your status as a Service   Provider terminates, as described below.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Termination - General
    	
 
    	
If your status as a Service Provider terminates   for any reason (except in the case of death or Disability of a California   Participant), other than for Cause, then your SAR will expire at the close of   business at Company headquarters on the date that is thirty (30) days after   your termination date.

In the event that you receive Shares as payment   pursuant to the exercise of this SAR, and such Shares have not been   registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state laws at the time   this SAR is exercised, you shall, if required by the Company, prior to the   receipt of such Shares, deliver to the Company an “Investment Representation   Statement” in the form attached hereto and shall make such other written   representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and/or   its counsel.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
The Company’s Right of First Refusal
    	
 
    	
In the event that you propose to sell, pledge,   assign, hypothecate, transfer, or otherwise dispose of (including transfer by   gift or operation of law and, collectively, “Transfer”) to a third   party any Shares acquired under this Agreement, or any interest in such   Shares, the Company or its assignee(s) shall have a right of first   refusal to purchase the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the   “Right of First Refusal”).
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
If you desire to transfer Shares acquired under   this Agreement, you must deliver to the Company a written notice (the “Transfer   Notice”) stating: (A) your bona fide intention to sell or otherwise   Transfer such Shares; (B) the name of each proposed purchaser or other   transferee (“Proposed Transferee”); (C) the number of Shares to   be Transferred to each Proposed Transferee; and (D) the bona fide cash   price or other consideration for which you propose to Transfer the Shares   (the
    

 

2

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
“Offered Price”), and you shall offer the   Shares at the Offered Price to the Company or its assignee(s).
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the   Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may elect in writing to purchase   all, but not less than all, of the Shares proposed to be Transferred to any   one or more of the Proposed Transferees.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”)   for the Shares repurchased under this Section shall be the Offered   Price. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash   equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the   Administrator in good faith. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made, at   the option of the Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by   cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of you to   the Company (or, in the case of repurchase by an assignee, to the assignee),   or by any combination thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Transfer   Notice or in the manner and at the times set forth in the Transfer Notice.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
If all of the Shares proposed in the Transfer   Notice to be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased by   the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided herein, then you may sell   or otherwise Transfer such Shares to that Proposed Transferee at the Offered   Price or at a higher price, provided that such sale or other Transfer is   consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the Transfer   Notice and provided further that any such sale or other Transfer is effected   in accordance with any applicable securities laws and the Proposed Transferee   agrees in writing that the provisions of this Section shall continue to   apply to the Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. If the Shares   described in the Notice are not Transferred to the Proposed Transferee within   such period, a new Transfer Notice shall be given to the Company, and the   Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the Right of First   Refusal as provided herein before any Shares held by you may be sold or   otherwise Transferred.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
Anything to the contrary contained in the   paragraphs above notwithstanding, the Transfer of any or all of the Shares   during your lifetime or upon your death by will or intestacy to your   Immediate Family (as defined below) or a trust for the benefit of your   Immediate Family shall be exempt from the Right of First Refusal. As used   herein, “Immediate Family” shall mean spouse, lineal descendant   or antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister or stepchild (whether or not   adopted). In such case, the transferee or other recipient shall receive and   hold the Shares so Transferred subject to the provisions of this   Section (including the Right of First Refusal) and there shall be no

further Transfer of such Shares except in   accordance with the terms of this Section.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The Right of First Refusal shall terminate as to   all Shares upon the Public Trading Date.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Right of Repurchase
    	
 
    	
If your status as a Service Provider is terminated   for any reason, the Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to   purchase from you, or your personal representative, as the case may be, any   or all of the Shares that you have or will acquire under this SAR (and any or   all Shares acquired upon exercise of the SAR after the date on which you   cease to be a Service Provider) at a per Share price equal to the Fair Market   Value of a Share on the date on which you cease to be a Service Provider (the   “Call Right”).
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The Company may exercise the Call Right by   delivering to you (or your transferee or legal representative, as the case   may be) personally or by registered mail within ninety (90) days after the date   on which you cease to be a Service Provider (or, in the case of Shares which   are acquired after the date on which you cease to be a Service Provider, then   within ninety (90) days after the date on which such Shares are acquired), a   notice in writing indicating the Company’s intention to exercise the Call   Right and setting forth a date for closing not later than thirty (30) days   from the mailing of such notice. The closing shall take place at the Company’s   office. At the closing, the holder of the certificates for the Shares being   transferred shall deliver the stock certificate or certificates evidencing   the Shares, and the Company shall deliver the purchase price therefor.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
At its option, the Company may elect to make   payment for the Shares to a bank selected by the Company. The Company shall   avail itself of this option by a notice in writing to you stating the name   and address of the bank, date of closing, and waiving the closing at the   Company’s office.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
If the Company does not elect to exercise the Call   Right conferred above by giving the requisite notice within the time provided   herein, the Call Right shall terminate.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The Call Right shall terminate as to all Shares   upon the Public Trading Date.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Drag-Along Sales
    	
 
    	
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award,   if the Company or its stockholders receive a bona fide arms’ length offer in   writing from a third person or third persons who are not affiliates of the   Company (a “Third Party”) (i) to purchase all or substantially   all of the Shares of Common Stock of the Company, (ii) to effect a   business combination

of the Company with such Third Party or a   subsidiary of such Third Party, or (iii) to purchase or otherwise   acquire all or substantially all the assets of the Company (any of the   transactions described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), an “Acquisition   Proposal”), and the Company or such stockholders desire to accept or   cause the Company to accept such Acquisition Proposal, then, upon the demand   of the Company (the “Drag-Along Right”), you shall be required, as the   case may be (x) to sell to such Third Party a number of Shares of Common   Stock owned by you, if any, equal to the number of Shares specified in the   applicable Drag-Along Notice (as defined below) (it being expressly agreed   and understood that in connection with any Acquisition Proposal for less than   100% of the total outstanding Shares of the Company’s Common Stock, you shall   be required to sell that percentage of your Shares of Common Stock equal to   the percentage of Shares of Common Stock of the Company being sold in   connection with such Acquisition Proposal), for the same consideration and on   the same purchase terms and conditions as the Company or such stockholders,   as applicable, and such Third Party have agreed with respect to the Company’s   Common Stock generally in such transaction, and (y) to vote all of the   capital stock beneficially owned by you in favor of such Acquisition Proposal   and take all other necessary or desirable actions within your control   (including, without limitation, by attending meetings in person or by proxy   for the purpose of obtaining a quorum, executing written consents in lieu of   meetings and refraining from exercising appraisal rights with respect to any   such Acquisition Proposal), to cause the approval of such Acquisition   Proposal; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability for any   indemnity obligations of you under such document shall be several and not   joint and several, and, with respect to representations and warranties, shall   not apply to any representations or warranties other than representations and   warranties relating solely to you.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
Prior to consummating any Acquisition Proposal, if   the Company elects to exercise the Drag-Along Right, the Company shall   provide you with written notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) not more   than thirty (30) nor less than ten (10) days prior to the proposed   closing date (the “Drag-Along Sale Date”) therefor. The Drag-Along   Notice shall be accompanied by a copy of any written agreement relating to   the Acquisition Proposal and shall set forth, if applicable: (i) the   proposed amount and form of consideration to be paid per Share of Common   Stock of the Company and the terms and conditions of payment offered by the   Third Party; (ii) the aggregate number of Shares of Common Stock   outstanding as of the close of business on the day prior to the date of the   Drag-Along Notice; (iii) the Drag-Along Sale Date; and   (iv) confirmation that the Third Party has agreed to purchase your   Shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof.

On the Drag-Along Sale Date, you, if a participant   in the applicable Drag-Along Sale, (a) authorize the Company (or the   Company’s transfer agent, if any) to record in the Company’s books and   records the transfer of all of your Shares of Common Stock included in such   Drag-Along Sale which are not represented by one or more certificates, from   you to the purchaser in the Drag-Along Sale and (b) shall deliver all   certificates, if any, which represent Shares of Common Stock owned by you   included in such Drag-Along Sale, duly endorsed for transfer with signatures   guaranteed, to the purchaser in the Drag-Along Sale, in the manner and at the   address indicated in the Drag-Along Notice, in each case against delivery of   the purchase price for such Shares of Common Stock. In addition, you, if a   participant in the applicable Drag-Along Sale, shall take all action as the Company   or the purchaser in the Drag-Along Sale shall reasonably request as necessary   to vest in the purchaser in the Drag-Along Sale all Shares of Common Stock   owned by you included in such Drag Along Sale, whether in certificated or   uncertificated form, free and clear of all liens, charges and encumbrances of   any kind.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
You shall cooperate in good faith with the Company   in connection with the consummation of the Drag-Along Sale, including,   without limitation, by executing a document containing customary   representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements as requested by any   Third Party in connection with the Drag-Along Sale.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
These Drag-Along Sale provisions shall terminate   as to all Shares of Common Stock owned by you upon the Public Trading Date.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Leaves of Absence
    	
 
    	
For purposes of this SAR, while you are a   common-law employee, your status as a Service Provider does not terminate   when you go on a bona fide leave of absence that was approved by the Company (or its Parent,   Subsidiary or Affiliate) in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for   continued service crediting, or when continued service crediting is required   by applicable law. Your status as a Service Provider terminates in any event   when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to active work.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The Company determines which leaves count for this   purpose, and when your Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Restrictions on Exercise
    	
 
    	
The Company will not permit you to exercise this   SAR if the issuance of Shares or payment of cash at that time would violate   any law or regulation.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this SAR   is granted on the condition that the Company’s stockholders approve the Plan.   You understand and agree that this SAR may not be exercised unless the
    

 

6

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
Company’s stockholders timely approve the Plan. If   the Company’s stockholders do not approve the Plan, then this SAR shall be   immediately forfeited without consideration.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Taxes and Withholding
    	
 
    	
You will be solely responsible for payment of any   and all applicable taxes associated with this SAR.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
You will not be allowed to exercise this SAR   unless you make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes   that may be due as a result of the grant, exercise, vesting or dispositions   of this SAR or the underlying Shares. Any such tax or withholding obligations   may be settled in the Company’s discretion by the Company withholding and   retaining a portion of the cash and/or the Shares from the payment that would   otherwise be deliverable to you under the vesting SAR. Such withheld Shares   will be applied to pay the withholding obligation by using the aggregate Fair   Market Value of the withheld Shares as of the date of vesting. You will be   delivered the net amount of cash and/or vested Shares after the withholding   has been effected and you will not receive the withheld cash and/or Shares.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Restrictions on Resale
    	
 
    	
By signing this Agreement, you agree not to   exercise this SAR or sell any Shares acquired under this SAR at a time when   applicable laws, regulations or Company or underwriter trading policies   prohibit exercise, sale or issuance of Shares. The Company shall have the   right to designate one or more periods of time, each of which shall not   exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in length, during which this SAR shall   not be exercisable, and any Shares acquired under his SAR shall not be sold,   if the Company determines (in its sole discretion) that such limitation on   exercise could in any way facilitate a lessening of any restriction on   transfer pursuant to the Securities Act or any state securities laws with   respect to any issuance of securities by the Company, facilitate the   registration or qualification of any securities by the Company under the   Securities Act or any state securities laws, or facilitate the perfection of   any exemption from the registration or qualification requirements of the   Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws for the issuance or   transfer of any securities. Such limitation on exercise shall not alter the   vesting schedule set forth in this Agreement other than to limit the periods   during which this SAR shall be exercisable.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
If the sale of Shares acquired under this SAR is   not registered under the Securities Act, but an exemption is available which   requires an investment representation or other representation and warranty,   you shall represent and agree at the time of exercise that the Shares being   acquired upon exercise of this SAR are being acquired for investment, and not   with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other   representations and warranties as are deemed necessary or
    

 

7

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
appropriate by the Company and its counsel.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
You may also be required, as a condition of   exercise of this SAR, to enter into any Stockholders Agreement or other   agreements that are applicable to stockholders.

This Agreement is not an employment agreement and   does not give you the right to be retained by the Company (or its Parent,   Subsidiaries or Affiliates). The Company (or any Parent and any Subsidiaries   or Affiliates) reserves the right to terminate your Service at any time and for   any reason.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Stockholder Rights
    	
 
    	
You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a   stockholder of the Company until a certificate for your SAR’s Shares (if any)   has been issued. No adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the   applicable record date occurs before your stock certificate is issued, except   as described in the Plan.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Adjustments
    	
 
    	
In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or   a similar change in the Company stock, the number of Shares covered by this   SAR (rounded down to the nearest whole number) and the Exercise Price per   Share may be adjusted pursuant to the Plan.

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN   REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE   SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION   THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY   AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed shares of Common Stock (the “Securities”) of LegalZoom.com, Inc. (the “Company”), I represent to the Company the following:

 

1.                                       I am aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and have acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. I am acquiring these Securities for investment for my own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

2.                                       I acknowledge and understand that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of my investment intent as expressed herein. I understand that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. I further acknowledge and understand that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. I understand that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and any other legend required under applicable state securities laws.

 

3.                                       I am familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Securities to me, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three (3) month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

 

In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Securities, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which generally requires (i) if the Company has not been subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least ninety (90) days then the resale must occur not less than one (1) year after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144, or (ii) if the Company has been subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least ninety (90) days then the resale must occur not less than six (6) months after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, depending on whether Securities being sold are by

 

1

 

an affiliate or non-affiliate of the Company along with other facts, the satisfaction of some or all of the conditions set forth in Sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.

 

4.                                       I further understand that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. I understand that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.

 

5.                                       I understand and acknowledge that the Company will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations and I hereby consent to such reliance.

Escrow
    	
 
    	
The certificate(s) for the Restricted Stock   shall be deposited in escrow with the Secretary of the Company (or his/her   designee) to be held in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph.   Each deposited certificate shall be accompanied by a duly executed Assignment   Separate from Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.   The deposited certificates shall remain in escrow until such time as the   certificates are to be released or otherwise surrendered for cancellation as   discussed below.

All regular cash dividends, if any, on the   Restricted Stock shall be paid directly to you and shall not be held in   escrow.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The Restricted Stock held in escrow hereunder   shall be subject to the following terms and conditions relating to their   release from escrow or their surrender to the Company, provided, however,   that the minimum number of Shares released to you in any individual release   of Share certificates must be at least twenty-five (25) Shares (unless the   release represents your final

release of Share certificates from escrow):
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
·                  When your interest in the Restricted Stock vests, the certificates for   such vested Restricted Stock shall be released from escrow and delivered to   you, at your request. Upon termination of your status as a Service Provider   for any reason prior to vesting and in which no vesting is provided upon such   termination, any unvested Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement shall be   immediately surrendered to the Company.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Non Transferability
    	
 
    	
Restricted Stock may not be sold, pledged,   assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than   by will or by laws of descent or distribution. This Award may be exercised   during your lifetime by you only. The terms of this Award shall be binding   upon your executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Investment Representation
    	
 
    	
If the Shares of Restricted Stock subject to this   Award have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable   state laws at the time this Award is exercised, you shall, if required by the   Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of this Award,   deliver to the Company an “Investment Representation Statement” in the form   attached hereto as Exhibit C and shall make such other written   representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and/or   its counsel.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
The Company’s Right of First Refusal
    	
 
    	
In the event that you propose to sell, pledge,   assign, hypothecate, transfer, or otherwise dispose of (including transfer by   gift or operation of law and, collectively, “Transfer”) to a third   party any Shares acquired under this Agreement, or any interest in such   Shares, the Company or its assignee(s) shall have a right of first   refusal to purchase the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth herein   (the “Right of First Refusal”).
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
If you desire to transfer Shares acquired under   this Agreement, you must deliver to the Company a written notice (the “Transfer   Notice”) stating: (A) your bona fide intention to sell or otherwise   Transfer such Shares; (B) the name of each proposed purchaser or other   transferee (“Proposed Transferee”); (C) the number of Shares to   be Transferred to each Proposed Transferee; and (D) the bona fide cash   price or other consideration for which you propose to Transfer the Shares   (the “Offered Price”), and you shall offer the Shares at the Offered   Price to the Company or its assignee(s).
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the   Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may elect in writing to   purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares proposed to be Transferred   to any one or more of the Proposed Transferees.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”)   for the Shares repurchased under this Section shall be the Offered   Price. If the Offered Price includes
    

 

3

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent   value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the Administrator   in good faith. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made, at the option of   the Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation of all or   a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of you to the Company (or, in the   case of repurchase by an assignee, to the assignee), or by any combination   thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Transfer Notice or in   the manner and at the times set forth in the Transfer Notice.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
If all of the Shares proposed in the Transfer   Notice to be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased by   the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided herein, then you may sell   or otherwise Transfer such Shares to that Proposed Transferee at the Offered   Price or at a higher price, provided that such sale or other Transfer is   consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the   Transfer Notice and provided further that any such sale or other Transfer is   effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws and the Proposed   Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this Section shall   continue to apply to the Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. If   the Shares described in the Notice are not Transferred to the Proposed   Transferee within such period, a new Transfer Notice shall be given to the   Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the   Right of First Refusal as provided herein before any Shares held by you may   be sold or otherwise Transferred.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
Anything to the contrary contained in the   paragraphs above notwithstanding, the Transfer of any or all of the Shares   during your lifetime or upon your death by will or intestacy to your Immediate   Family (as defined below) or a trust for the benefit of your Immediate Family   shall be exempt from the Right of First Refusal. As used herein, “Immediate   Family” shall mean spouse, lineal descendant or antecedent, father,   mother, brother or sister or stepchild (whether or not adopted). In such   case, the transferee or other recipient shall receive and hold the Shares so   Transferred subject to the provisions of this Section (including the Right of   First Refusal) and there shall be no further Transfer of such Shares except   in accordance with the terms of this Section.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The Right of First Refusal shall terminate as to   all Shares upon the Public Trading Date.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Right of Repurchase
    	
 
    	
If your status as a Service Provider is terminated   for any reason, the Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to   purchase from you, or your personal representative, as the case may be, any   or all of the Shares that you have or will acquire under this Award (and any   or all Shares acquired upon exercise of the Award after the date on which you   cease to be a Service Provider) at a per Share price equal to the Fair Market   Value of a Share on the date on which you cease to be a Service Provider (the   “Call Right”).
    

 

4

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
The Company may exercise the Call Right by   delivering to you (or your transferee or legal representative, as the case   may be) personally or by registered mail within ninety (90) days after the   date on which you cease to be a Service Provider (or, in the case of Shares   which are acquired after the date on which you cease to be a Service   Provider, then within ninety (90) days after the date on which such Shares   are acquired), a notice in writing indicating the Company’s intention to   exercise the Call Right and setting forth a date for closing not later than   thirty (30) days from the mailing of such notice. The closing shall take   place at the Company’s office. At the closing, the holder of the certificates   for the Shares being transferred shall deliver the stock certificate or   certificates evidencing the Shares, and the Company shall deliver the   purchase price therefor.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
At its option, the Company may elect to make   payment for the Shares to a bank selected by the Company. The Company shall   avail itself of this option by a notice in writing to you stating the name   and address of the bank, date of closing, and waiving the closing at the   Company’s office.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
If the Company does not elect to exercise the Call   Right conferred above by giving the requisite notice within the time provided   herein, the Call Right shall terminate.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The Call Right shall terminate as to all Shares   upon the Public Trading Date.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Drag-Along Sales
    	
 
    	
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award,   if the Company or its stockholders receive a bona fide arms’ length offer in   writing from a third person or third persons who are not affiliates of the   Company (a “Third Party”) (i) to purchase all or substantially   all of the Shares of Common Stock of the Company, (ii) to effect a   business combination of the Company with such Third Party or a subsidiary of   such Third Party, or (iii) to purchase or otherwise acquire all or   substantially all the assets of the Company (any of the transactions   described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), an “Acquisition Proposal”),   and the Company or such stockholders desire to accept or cause the Company to   accept such Acquisition Proposal, then, upon the demand of the Company (the “Drag-Along   Right”), you shall be required, as the case may be (x) to sell to   such Third Party a number of Shares of Common Stock owned by you, if any,   equal to the number of Shares specified in the applicable Drag-Along Notice   (as defined below) (it being expressly agreed and understood that in   connection with any Acquisition Proposal for less than 100% of the total   outstanding Shares of the Company’s Common Stock, you shall be required to   sell that percentage of your Shares of Common Stock equal to the percentage   of Shares of Common Stock of the Company being sold in connection with such   Acquisition Proposal), for the same consideration and on the same purchase   terms and conditions as the Company or such stockholders, as applicable, and   such Third Party have agreed with respect to the Company’s Common

Stock generally in such transaction, and   (y) to vote all of the capital stock beneficially owned by you in favor   of such Acquisition Proposal and take all other necessary or desirable   actions within your control (including, without limitation, by attending   meetings in person or by proxy for the purpose of obtaining a quorum,   executing written consents in lieu of meetings and refraining from exercising   appraisal rights with respect to any such Acquisition Proposal), to cause the   approval of such Acquisition Proposal; provided, that notwithstanding the   foregoing, the liability for any indemnity obligations of you under such   document shall be several and not joint and several, and, with respect to   representations and warranties, shall not apply to any representations or   warranties other than representations and warranties relating solely to you.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
Prior to consummating any Acquisition Proposal, if   the Company elects to exercise the Drag-Along Right, the Company shall   provide you with written notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) not more   than thirty (30) nor less than ten (10) days prior to the proposed   closing date (the “Drag-Along Sale Date”) therefor. The Drag-Along   Notice shall be accompanied by a copy of any written agreement relating to   the Acquisition Proposal and shall set forth, if applicable: (i) the   proposed amount and form of consideration to be paid per Share of Common   Stock of the Company and the terms and conditions of payment offered by the   Third Party; (ii) the aggregate number of Shares of Common Stock   outstanding as of the close of business on the day prior to the date of the   Drag-Along Notice; (iii) the Drag-Along Sale Date; and   (iv) confirmation that the Third Party has agreed to purchase your   Shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
On the Drag-Along Sale Date, you, if a participant   in the applicable Drag-Along Sale, (a) authorize the Company (or the   Company’s transfer agent, if any) to record in the Company’s books and   records the transfer of all of your Shares of Common Stock included in such   Drag-Along Sale which are not represented by one or more certificates, from   you to the purchaser in the Drag-Along Sale and (b) shall deliver all   certificates, if any, which represent Shares of Common Stock owned by you   included in such Drag-Along Sale, duly endorsed for transfer with signatures   guaranteed, to the purchaser in the Drag-Along Sale, in the manner and at the   address indicated in the Drag-Along Notice, in each case against delivery of the   purchase price for such Shares of Common Stock. In addition, you, if a   participant in the applicable Drag-Along Sale, shall take all action as the   Company or the purchaser in the Drag-Along Sale shall reasonably request as   necessary to vest in the purchaser in the Drag-Along Sale all Shares of   Common Stock owned by you included in such Drag Along Sale, whether in   certificated or uncertificated form, free and clear of all liens, charges and   encumbrances of any kind.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
You shall cooperate in good faith with the Company   in connection with the consummation of the Drag-Along Sale, including,   without limitation, by executing a document containing customary   representations, warranties,
    

 

6

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
indemnities and agreements as requested by any   Third Party in connection with the Drag-Along Sale.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
These Drag-Along Sale provisions shall terminate   as to all Shares of Common Stock owned by you upon the Public Trading Date.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Code Section 83(b) Election
    	
 
    	
You represent and warrant that you understand the   Federal, state and local income tax consequences of the granting of this   Restricted Stock. Under Section 83 of the Code, the Fair Market Value of   the Restricted Stock on the date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to   such Restricted Stock lapse will be reportable as ordinary income at that   time. For this purpose, “forfeiture restrictions” include surrender to the   Company of unvested Restricted Stock as described above. You may voluntarily   elect to be taxed at the time the Restricted Stock is acquired to the extent   that the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Stock exceeds the amount of   consideration paid by you (if any) for such Restricted Stock at that time   rather than when such Restricted Stock ceases to be subject to such   forfeiture restrictions, by filing an election under   Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within   thirty (30) days after the Date of Award. A form for making this election is   attached as Exhibit B hereto. Failure to make this filing within   the thirty (30) day period will result in the recognition of ordinary income   by you as the forfeiture restrictions lapse. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE   COMPANY’S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER CODE SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF   YOU REQUEST THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON YOUR   BEHALF. MOREOVER, YOU ARE RELYING SOLELY ON YOUR OWN ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO   THE DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO FILE A CODE SECTION 83(b) ELECTION.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Leaves of Absence
    	
 
    	
For purposes of this Agreement, while you are a   common-law employee, your status as a Service Provider does not terminate   when you go on a bona fide leave of absence that was approved by the Company   (or its Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate) in writing, if the terms of the   leave provide for continued service crediting, or when continued service   crediting is required by applicable law. Your status as a Service Provider   terminates in any event when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately   return to active work.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The Company determines which leaves count for this   purpose, and when your status as a Service Provider terminates for all   purposes under the Plan.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Voting and Other Rights
    	
 
    	
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, you shall have   all the rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company while the   Restricted Stock is held in escrow, including the right to vote and to   receive dividends (if any).
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Adjustments
    	
 
    	
In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or   a similar change in the
    

 

7

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
Company stock, the number of outstanding Shares of   Restricted Stock covered by this Award may be adjusted (and rounded down to   the nearest whole number) pursuant to the Plan.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Restrictions on Issuance
    	
 
    	
The Company will not issue any Restricted Stock or   Shares if the issuance of such Restricted Stock or Shares at that time would   violate any law or regulation.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this   Award is granted on the condition that the Company’s Series A preferred   stockholders approve the Plan. You understand and agree that this Award may   not be settled (or dividends paid to you on any Shares subject to this Award)   unless the Company’s Series A stockholders approve the Plan. If the   Company’s Series A stockholders do not approve the Plan then this Award   (and any accrued dividends) shall be forfeited without consideration.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Taxes and Withholding
    	
 
    	
You will be solely responsible for payment of any   and all applicable taxes associated with this Award.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The delivery to you of any Shares will not be   permitted unless and until you have satisfied any withholding or other taxes   that may be due. [Any such tax withholding   obligations may be settled by the Company withholding and retaining a portion   of the Shares from the Shares that would otherwise be deliverable to you as   of the vesting date and/or by Shares which have already been owned by you for   more than six (6) months and which are surrendered to the Company. Such   withheld or surrendered Shares will be applied to pay the withholding   obligation by using the aggregate fair market value of the withheld or   surrendered Shares as of the date of vesting. If Shares are withheld, then   you will be delivered the net amount of vested Shares after the Share   withholding has been effected and you will not receive the withheld Shares.]
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Restrictions on Resale
    	
 
    	
By signing this Agreement, you agree not to sell   any Shares acquired under this Award at a time when applicable laws, regulations   or Company or underwriter trading policies or agreements prohibit the sale or   issuance of Shares. The Company shall have the right to designate one or more   periods of time, each of which shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days   in length, during which any Shares acquired under this Award shall not be   sold, if the Company determines (in its sole discretion) that such limitation   on sale could in any way facilitate a lessening of any restriction on   transfer pursuant to the Securities Act or any state securities laws with   respect to any issuance of securities by the Company, facilitate the   registration or qualification of any securities by the Company under the   Securities Act or any state securities laws, or facilitate the perfection of   any exemption from the registration or qualification requirements of the   Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws for the issuance or   transfer of any securities.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
If the sale of Shares acquired under this Award is   not registered under the
    

 

8

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
Securities Act, but an exemption is available   which requires an investment representation or other representation and   warranty, you shall represent and agree that the Shares being acquired are   being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or   distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations and   warranties as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its   counsel.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Legends
    	
 
    	
All certificates representing the Common Stock   issued under this Award may, where applicable, have endorsed thereon the   following legend and any other legend the Company determines appropriate:
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE   SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OPTIONS TO PURCHASE SUCH   SHARES SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED   HOLDER, OR HIS OR HER PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT IS ON   FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY AND WILL BE FURNISHED UPON   WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF   THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.”
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN   REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE   SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION   THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY   AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
No Retention Rights
    	
 
    	
This Agreement is not an employment agreement and   does not give you the right to be retained by the Company (or its Parents,   Subsidiaries or Affiliates) and you agree that you are an employee-at-will.   The Company (or its Parents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) reserves the right   to terminate your status as a Service Provider at any time and for any   reason.

SECTION 83(b) ELECTIONS

 

This memorandum briefly describes certain aspects of Internal Revenue Code Section 83 and Section 83 (b) elections as they exist under current law. A form of election is attached. The effect of making the election is that it permits the employee or consultant to include in his or her gross income, in his or her taxable year in which unvested shares are transferred, the excess, if any, of (i) the Fair Market Value of such shares at the time of transfer (determined without regard to restrictions other than those which will never lapse), over (ii) the amount (if any) paid for such shares.

 

By making the Section 83(b) election, subsequent appreciation in the value of the shares generally will be taxed as a capital gain, rather than as compensation. Also, appreciation that occurs after the transfer but prior to vesting will not be taxed until the shares are sold. Finally, such subsequent appreciation may be deferred if transfer occurs in a tax-free reorganization or may go untaxed altogether if a stepped-up basis results from transfer by reason of death. However, if the shares are forfeited the employees or consultants who made the election can only deduct a loss to the extent the amount received (if any) on forfeiture is less than the amount paid (if any) for such shares. Thus, such employees or consultants are precluded from recovering the tax paid with respect to any reported compensation income. Moreover, any loss recognized will generally be a capital loss which can only offset capital gains plus $3,000 of ordinary income ($1,500 in the case of married individuals filing a separate return).

 

In the absence of an election, the employee or consultant who receives unvested shares does not recognize any income until such shares vest. In the taxable year in which any shares vest such employee or consultant will recognize compensation income equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Fair Market Value of the vested shares on the vesting date, over (ii) the amount (if any) paid for such shares. If the shares are forfeited the employee or consultant will recognize ordinary loss to the extent the amount received on forfeiture is less than the amount paid for such shares.

 

The election must be made not later than thirty (30) days after the date of transfer of the shares to the employee or consultant. The election is to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Center with which the employee or consultant files his or her return. In general, the election is irrevocable.

 

Each filing should be made by certified mail with the sender’s receipt postmarked at the time of mailing to establish proof of filing. Also, one copy of the election should be filed with the company. Finally, one copy of the election must be submitted with the employee’s federal income tax returns for the taxable year in which the shares are transferred. Although the election must be made within thirty (30) days of the date of transfer of the shares, the tax, if any, arising out of the election need not be paid until the employee or consultant files his or her tax return for the tax year of transfer (subject to the withholding rules discussed below).

 

The company should be entitled to a tax deduction for federal income tax purposes equal to the amount, if any, included in the gross income of the employees or consultants receiving the shares. Any deduction is allowed for the taxable year of the company

 

2

 

in which or with which ends the taxable year in which the amount was included in the gross income of the employee or consultant.

 

While it may be desirable from a tax standpoint for employees and consultants to make an 83(b) election at the time unvested shares are acquired, the matter should be reviewed by each employee or consultant with his or her tax adviser.

 

The foregoing is intended only as a general summary of the tax consequences of Section 83(b) elections.

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed shares of Common Stock (the “Securities”) of LegalZoom.com, Inc. (the “Company”), I represent to the Company the following:

 

1.                                       I am aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and have acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. I am acquiring these Securities for investment for my own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

2.                                       I acknowledge and understand that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of my investment intent as expressed herein. I understand that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. I further acknowledge and understand that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. I understand that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and any other legend required under applicable state securities laws.

 

3.                                       I am familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Securities to me, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three (3) month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

 

In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Securities, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which generally requires (i) if the Company has not been subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least ninety (90) days then the resale must occur not less than one (1) year after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144, or (ii) if the Company has been subject to the reporting requirements of

 

1

 

Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least ninety (90) days then the resale must occur not less than six (6) months after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, depending on whether Securities being sold are by an affiliate or non-affiliate of the Company along with other facts, the satisfaction of some or all of the conditions set forth in Sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.

 

4.                                       I further understand that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. I understand that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.

 

5.                                       I understand and acknowledge that the Company will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations and I hereby consent to such reliance.

Subject to the termination provisions of this   Stock Option Agreement and the Plan, the options granted herein shall vest   25% on the First Vest Date set forth above (the “First Vest Date”) and then   the remaining 75% shall vest in equal annual installments over the next three   (3) years following the First Vest Date.

purposes herein, the term “Service Provider”   means that the Optionee (i) is an employee of the Company, or   (ii) provides certain services to the Company as an independent   contractor, consultant, joint venture or other similar arrangement, where the   continuing provision of such service is a contingency upon which continued   vesting of the Option is dependent.
    	
 
    

 

II.                                     AGREEMENT

 

1.                                       Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to Optionee an Option to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Exercise Price”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary anywhere else in this Stock Option Agreement, the Option is subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Plan adopted by the Company, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option, this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code; provided, that to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of stock with respect to which incentive stock options (within the meaning of Code Section 422, but without regard to Code Section 422(d)), including this Option, become exercisable for the first time by Optionee during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other incentive stock option plans of the Company or any “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” thereof within the meaning of Section 424(e) and 424(f), respectively, of the Code) exceeds $100,000, such options shall not be treated as qualifying under Code Section 422, but rather shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options to the extent required by Code Section 422. The rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking options into account in the order in which they were granted. For purposes of these rules, the Fair Market Value of stock shall be determined as of the time the option with respect to such stock is granted.

 

2.                                       Exercise of Option. This Option is exercisable as follows:

 

(a)                                  Right to Exercise.

 

(i)                                     This Option shall be exercisable cumulatively according to the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant. For purposes of this Stock Option Agreement, Shares subject to this Option shall vest based on Optionee’s continued status as a Service Provider.

 

(ii)                                  This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

 

(iii)                               In the event of Optionee’s death, disability or other termination of Optionee’s status as a Service Provider, the exercisability of the Option shall be governed by Sections 7, 8, 9 and 10 below.

 

(iv)                              In no event may this Option be exercised after the date of expiration of the term of this Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant.

 

(b)                                 Method of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by written notice (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A). Such notice must state the number of

 

2

 

Shares for which the Option is being exercised and contain such other representations and agreements with respect to such Shares as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The notice must be signed by Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to the Secretary of the Company. The notice must be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price plus payment of any applicable withholding tax. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by the Exercise Price and payment of any applicable withholding tax.

 

No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless such issuance and such exercise comply with all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes, the Shares shall be considered transferred to Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.

 

3.                                       Optionee’s Representations. If the Shares purchasable pursuant to the exercise of this Option have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state laws at the time this Option is exercised, Optionee shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option, deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and shall make such other written representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and/or its counsel.

 

4.                                       Lock-Up Period. Optionee hereby agrees that, if so requested by the Company or any representative of the underwriters (the “Managing Underwriter”) in connection with any registration of the offering of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act or any applicable state laws, Optionee shall not sell or otherwise transfer any Shares or other securities of the Company during (a) the 180-day period (or such longer period as may be requested in writing by the Managing Underwriter and agreed to in writing by the Company) following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of Common Stock, or (b) the 90-day period following the effective date of a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act in connection with any other public offering of Common Stock (in either case, the “Market Standoff Period”). The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such Market Standoff Period and these restrictions shall be binding on any transferee of such Shares.

 

5.                                       Method of Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by (a) cash, (b) check or (c) with the consent of the Administrator, (i) a full recourse promissory note bearing interest (at no less than such rate as is a market rate of interest and which then precludes the imputation of interest under the Code), payable upon such terms as may be prescribed by the Administrator, and structured to comply with Applicable Laws, (ii) other Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, (iii) surrendered Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised portion thereof, (iv) property of any kind which constitutes good and valuable consideration, (v) delivery of a notice that Optionee has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option and that the broker has

 

3

 

been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option exercise price, provided, that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale, or (vi) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

 

6.                                       Restrictions on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised until the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company. If the issuance of Shares upon such exercise or if the method of payment for such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other law or regulation, then the Option may also not be exercised. The Company may require Optionee to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be required by any applicable law or regulation before allowing the Option to be exercised.

 

7.                                       Termination of Relationship. If Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider (other than by reason of a termination by the Company for Cause or Optionee’s death or the total and permanent disability of Optionee as defined in Code Section 22(e)(3)), to the extent vested as of the date on which Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider (taking into account any vesting that may occur in connection with such termination), the Option shall remain exercisable for a period of thirty (30) days immediately following such date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of the Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant). To the extent that the Option is not vested as of the date on which Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, or if Optionee does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

 

8.                                       Termination for Cause. If Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider by reason of a termination by the Company for Cause, the Option shall terminate as of the start of business on the date of Optionee’s termination, regardless of whether the Option is then vested and/or exercisable with respect to any Shares.

 

9.                                       Disability of Optionee. If Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of his or her total and permanent disability as defined in Code Section 22(e)(3), the Option, to the extent vested as of the date on which Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months from such date (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of the Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant). To the extent that the Option is not vested as of the date on which Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, or if Optionee does not exercise such Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

 

10.                                 Death of Optionee. If Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of Optionee’s death, the Option, to the extent vested as of the date of death, shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of the Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant) by Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance. To the extent that the Option is not vested as of the date of death, or if the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

 

11.                                 Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by laws of descent or distribution. It may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee. The terms

 

4

 

of this Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Optionee.

 

12.                                 Term of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the term set forth in the Notice of Grant.

 

13.                                 Restrictions on Shares. Optionee hereby agrees that Shares purchased upon the exercise of the Option shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, restrictions on the transferability of Shares, the right of the Company to repurchase Shares, the right of the Company to require that Shares be transferred in the event of certain transactions, a right of first refusal in favor of the Company with respect to permitted transfers of Shares, tag-along rights and bring-along rights. Such terms and conditions may, in the Administrator’s sole discretion, be contained in the Exercise Notice with respect to the Option or in such other agreement as the Administrator shall determine and which Optionee hereby agrees to enter into at the request of the Company.

 

14.                                 Code Section 409 A. Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Agreement, Section 23 of the Plan pertaining to Code Section 409 A is hereby explicitly incorporated into this Agreement.

 

15.                                 No Right to Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in this Stock Option Agreement shall confer upon Optionee any right to continue as an Employee, Director or Consultant of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge Optionee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written employment agreement between Optionee and the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary.

4.                                       Optionee’s Rights to Transfer Shares.

 

(a)                                  Company’s Right of First Refusal. Before any Shares held by Optionee or any permitted transferee (each, a “Holder”) may be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or otherwise disposed of (including transfer by gift or operation of law and, collectively, “Transfer” or “Transferred”), the Company or its assignee(s) shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (the “Right of First Refusal”).

 

(i)                                     Notice of Proposed Transfer. The Holder of the Shares shall deliver to the Company a written notice (the “Notice”) stating: (A) the Holder’s bona fide intention to sell or otherwise Transfer such Shares; (B) the name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (“Proposed Transferee”); (C) the number of Shares to be Transferred to each Proposed Transferee; and (D) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for which the Holder proposes to Transfer the Shares (the “Offered Price”), and the Holder shall offer the Shares at the Offered Price to the Company or its assignee(s).

 

(ii)                                  Exercise of Right of First Refusal. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may elect in writing to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares proposed to be Transferred to any one or more of the Proposed Transferees. The purchase price will be determined in accordance with paragraph (iii) below.

 

(iii)                               Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Shares repurchased under this Section shall be the Offered Price. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the Administrator in good faith.

 

(iv)                              Payment. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made, at the option of the Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company (or, in the case of repurchase by an assignee, to the assignee), or by any combination thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice or in the manner and at the times set forth in the Notice.

 

(v)                                 Holder’s Right to Transfer. If all of the Shares proposed in the Notice to be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased by the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this Section, then the Holder may sell or otherwise Transfer such Shares to that Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that such sale or other Transfer is consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the Notice and provided further that any such sale or other Transfer is effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws and the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this Section shall continue to apply to the Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. If the Shares described in the Notice are not Transferred to the Proposed Transferee within such period, a new Notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the Right of First Refusal as provided herein before any Shares held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise Transferred.

 

A-2

 

(b)           Exception for Certain Family Transfers. Anything to the contrary contained in this Section notwithstanding, the Transfer of any or all of the Shares during the Optionee’s lifetime or on the Optionee’s death by will or intestacy to the Optionee’s Immediate Family (as defined below) or a trust for the benefit of the Optionee’s Immediate Family shall be exempt from the Right of First Refusal. As used herein, “Immediate Family” shall mean spouse, lineal descendant or antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister or stepchild (whether or not adopted). In such case, the transferee or other recipient shall receive and hold the Shares so Transferred subject to the provisions of this Section (including the Right of First Refusal) and there shall be no further Transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the terms of this Section.

 

(c)           Termination of Right of First Refusal. The Right of First Refusal shall terminate as to all Shares upon the date of the initial sale of Common Stock of the Company to the general public pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (an “Initial Public Offering”).

 

5.             Company Call Right.

 

(a)           If Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason, the Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase from Optionee, or Optionee’s personal representative, as the case may be, any or all of the Shares then owned by the Optionee (and any or all Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option after the date on which the Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider) at a per Share price equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date on which the Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider (the “Call Right”).

 

(b)           The Company may exercise the Call Right by delivering personally or by registered mail to Optionee (or his or her transferee or legal representative, as the case may be), within ninety (90) days after the date on which Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider (or, in the case of Shares which are acquired after the date on which Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, then within ninety (90) days after the date on which such Shares are acquired), a notice in writing indicating the Company’s intention to exercise the Call Right and setting forth a date for closing not later than thirty (30) days from the mailing of such notice. The closing shall take place at the Company’s office. At the closing, the holder of the certificates for the Shares being transferred shall deliver the stock certificate or certificates evidencing the Shares, and the Company shall deliver the purchase price therefor.

 

(c)           At its option, the Company may elect to make payment for the Shares to a bank selected by the Company. The Company shall avail itself of this option by a notice in writing to Optionee stating the name and address of the bank, date of closing, and waiving the closing at the Company’s office.

 

(d)           If the Company does not elect to exercise the Call Right conferred above by giving the requisite notice within the time provided in Subsection (b) above, the Call Right shall terminate.

 

(e)           The Call Right shall terminate as to all Shares upon the date of an Initial Public Offering.

6.                                       Drag-Along Sales.

 

(a)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Company or its stockholders receive a bona fide arms’ length offer in writing from a third person or third persons who are not affiliates of the Company (a “Third Party”) (i) to purchase all or substantially all of the shares of Common Stock of the Company, (ii) to effect a business combination of the Company with such Third Party or a subsidiary of such Third Party, or (iii) to purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all the assets of the Company (any of the transactions described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), an “Acquisition Proposal”), and the Company or such stockholders desire to accept or cause the Company to accept such Acquisition Proposal, then, upon the demand of the Company (the “Drag-Along Right”), Optionee shall be required, as the case may be (x) to sell to such Third Party a number of shares of Common Stock owned by Optionee, if any, equal to the number of shares specified in the applicable Drag-Along Notice (as defined below) (it being expressly agreed and understood that in connection with any Acquisition Proposal for less than 100% of the total outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, Optionee shall be required to sell that percentage of his or her shares of Common Stock equal to the percentage of shares of Common Stock of the Company being sold in connection with such Acquisition Proposal), for the same consideration and on the same purchase terms and conditions as the Company or such stockholders, as applicable, and such Third Party have agreed with respect to the Company’s Common Stock generally in such transaction, and (y) to vote all of the capital stock beneficially owned by Optionee in favor of such Acquisition Proposal and take all other necessary or desirable actions within Optionee’s control (including, without limitation, by attending meetings in person or by proxy for the purpose of obtaining a quorum, executing written consents in lieu of meetings and refraining from exercising appraisal rights with respect to any such Acquisition Proposal), to cause the approval of such Acquisition Proposal; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability for any indemnity obligations of Optionee under such document shall be several and not joint and several, and, with respect to representations and warranties, shall not apply to any representations or warranties other than representations and warranties relating solely to Optionee.

 

(b)           Prior to consummating any Acquisition Proposal, if the Company elects to exercise the Drag-Along Right, the Company shall provide Optionee with written notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) not more than thirty (30) nor less than ten (10) days prior to the proposed closing date (the “Drag-Along Sale Date”) therefor. The Drag-Along Notice shall be accompanied by a copy of any written agreement relating to the Acquisition Proposal and shall set forth, if applicable: (i) the proposed amount and form of consideration to be paid per share of Common Stock of the Company and the terms and conditions of payment offered by the Third Party; (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on the day prior to the date of the Drag-Along Notice; (iii) the Drag-Along Sale Date; and (iv) confirmation that the Third Party has agreed to purchase Optionee’s shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(c)           On the Drag-Along Sale Date, the Optionee, if a participant in the applicable Drag-Along Sale, (a) authorizes the Company (or the Company s transfer agent, if any) to record in the Company s books and records the transfer of all of Optionee’s shares of Common Stock included in such Drag-Along Sale which are not represented by one or more

 

A-4

 

certificates, from Optionee to the purchaser in the Drag-Along Sale and (b) shall deliver all certificates, if any, which represent shares of Common Stock owned by Optionee included in such Drag-Along Sale, duly endorsed for transfer with signatures guaranteed, to the purchaser in the Drag-Along Sale, in the manner and at the address indicated in the Drag-Along Notice, in each case against delivery of the purchase price for such shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Optionee, if a participant in the applicable Drag-Along Sale, shall take all action as the Company or the purchaser in the Drag-Along Sale shall reasonably request as necessary to vest in the purchaser in the Drag-Along Sale all shares of Common Stock owned by Optionee included in such Drag Along Sale, whether in certificated or uncertificated form, free and clear of all liens, charges and encumbrances of any kind.

 

(d)           Optionee shall cooperate in good faith with the Company in connection with the consummation of the Drag-Along Sale, including, without limitation, by executing a document containing customary representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements as requested by any Third Party in connection with the Drag-Along Sale.

 

(e)           The provisions of this Section 6 shall terminate as to all shares of Common Stock owned by Optionee upon the date of an Initial Public Offering.

 

7.             Tax Consultation. Optionee understands that Optionee may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Optionee’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Optionee represents that Optionee has consulted with any tax consultants Optionee deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Optionee is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

 

8.             Lock-Up Period. Optionee hereby agrees that if so requested by the Company or any representative of the underwriters (the “Managing Underwriter”) in connection with any registration of the offering of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act or any applicable state laws, Optionee shall not sell or otherwise transfer any Shares or other securities of the Company during (a) the 180-day period (or such longer period as may be requested in writing by the Managing Underwriter and agreed to in writing by the Company) following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of Common Stock, or (b) the 90-day period following the effective date of a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act in connection with any other public offering of Common Stock (in either case, the “Market Standoff Period”). The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such Market Standoff Period and these restrictions shall be binding on any transferee of such Shares.

 

9.             Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.

 

(a)           Legends. Optionee understands and agrees that the Company shall cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially similar thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares together with any other legends that may be required by state or federal securities laws:

 

A-5

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH LAWS OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.

 

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL OPTIONS HELD BY THE ISSUER OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN THE EXERCISE NOTICE BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

 

(b)           Stop-Transfer Notices. Optionee agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

 

(c)           Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed shares of Common Stock (the “Securities”) of LegalZoom. com, Inc. (the “Company”), the undersigned (the “Optionee”) represents to the Company the following:

 

(a)           Optionee is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Optionee is acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

(b)           Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Optionee’s investment intent as expressed herein. Optionee understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Optionee further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and any other legend required under applicable state securities laws.

 

(c)           Optionee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to Optionee, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety

 

B-1

 

(90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three (3) month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

 

In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which generally requires (i) if the Company has not been subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least ninety (90) days then the resale must occur not less than one (1) year after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144, or (ii) if the Company has been subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least ninety (90) days then the resale must occur not less than (6) six months after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, depending on whether Securities being sold are by an affiliate or non-affiliate of the Company along with other facts, the satisfaction of some or all of the conditions set forth in Sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.

 

(d)           Optionee further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.

 

(e)           Optionee understands and acknowledges that the Company will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations and Optionee hereby consents to such reliance.

STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

 

	
The Plan and Other Agreements
    	
 
    	
The   text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by this reference. You and   the Company agree to execute such further instruments and to take such   further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this   Agreement. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, certain capitalized   terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Plan.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
This   Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and   the Company regarding this Award of Stock Units. Any prior agreements,   commitments or negotiations are superseded.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Award of Stock Units
    	
 
    	
The   Company awards you the number of Stock Units shown on the cover sheet of this   Agreement. The Award is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement   and the Plan.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Vesting
    	
 
    	
If you   continuously remain a Service Provider, you will become [incrementally vested   as to 25% of the total number of Stock Units awarded (rounded down to the   nearest whole number), as shown above on the cover sheet, on each of the   first four anniversaries of the Date of Award.] [ In addition, the total   number of then unvested Stock Units subject to this Award shall become fully   vested if (i) your status as a Service Provider is terminated without   Cause by the Company or (ii) there is a Change in Control while you are   a Service Provider.] Except as provided in the preceding sentence, in the   event that your status as a Service Provider ceases prior to the fourth   anniversary of the Date of Award, you will forfeit to the Company without   consideration all of the unvested Stock Units subject to this Award.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Settlement
    	
 
    	
To the   extent Stock Units become vested and subject to your satisfaction of any tax   withholding obligations as discussed below, such vested Stock Units will   entitle you to receive Shares which will be distributed to you within thirty   (30) days of the applicable vesting date(s) in exchange for such vested   Stock Units. Issuance of Shares shall be in complete satisfaction of such   vested Stock Units. Such Stock Units shall be immediately cancelled and no   longer outstanding and you shall have no further rights or entitlements   related to those settled Stock Units.

administrators,   heirs, successors and assigns.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Investment Representation
    	
 
    	
The   Shares that you receive as payment pursuant to the exercise of this Award,   and such Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any   applicable state laws at the time this Award is exercised, you shall, if required   by the Company, prior to the receipt of such Shares, deliver to the Company   an “Investment Representation Statement” in the form attached hereto and   shall make such other written representations as are deemed necessary or   appropriate by the Company and/or its counsel.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
The Company’s Right of First Refusal
    	
 
    	
In the   event that you propose to sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer, or   otherwise dispose of (including transfer by gift or operation of law and,   collectively, “Transfer”) to a third party any Shares acquired under   this Agreement, or any interest in such Shares, the Company or its assignee(s) shall   have a right of first refusal to purchase the Shares on the terms and   conditions set forth herein (the “Right of First Refusal”).
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
If you   desire to transfer Shares acquired under this Agreement, you must deliver to   the Company a written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) stating: (A) your   bona fide intention to sell or otherwise Transfer such Shares; (B) the   name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (“Proposed Transferee”);   (C) the number of Shares to be Transferred to each Proposed Transferee;   and (D) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for which you   propose to Transfer the Shares (the “Offered Price”), and you shall offer   the Shares at the Offered Price to the Company or its assignee(s).
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
Within   thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its   assignee(s) may elect in writing to purchase all, but not less than all,   of the Shares proposed to be Transferred to any one or more of the Proposed   Transferees.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The   purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Shares repurchased under   this Section shall be the Offered Price. If the Offered Price includes   consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash   consideration shall be determined by the Administrator in good faith. Payment   of the Purchase Price shall be made, at the option of the Company or its   assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation of all or a portion of any   outstanding indebtedness of you to the Company (or, in the case of repurchase   by an assignee, to the assignee), or by any combination thereof within thirty   (30) days after receipt of the Transfer Notice or in the manner and at the   times set forth in the Transfer Notice.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
If all   of the Shares proposed in the Transfer Notice to be transferred to a given   Proposed Transferee are not purchased by the Company and/or its   assignee(s) as provided herein, then you may sell or otherwise Transfer   such Shares to that Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher   price, provided that such sale or other Transfer is consummated within one 
    

 

3

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
hundred   twenty (120) days after the date of the Transfer Notice and provided further   that any such sale or other Transfer is effected in accordance with any   applicable securities laws and the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that   the provisions of this Section shall continue to apply to the Shares in   the hands of such Proposed Transferee. If the Shares described in the Notice   are not Transferred to the Proposed Transferee within such period, a new   Transfer Notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its   assignees shall again be offered the Right of First Refusal as provided   herein before any Shares held by you may be sold or otherwise Transferred.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
Anything   to the contrary contained in the paragraphs above notwithstanding, the Transfer   of any or all of the Shares during your lifetime or upon your death by will   or intestacy to your Immediate Family (as defined below) or a trust for the   benefit of your Immediate Family shall be exempt from the Right of First   Refusal. As used herein, “Immediate Family” shall mean spouse,   lineal descendant or antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister or   stepchild (whether or not adopted). In such case, the transferee or other   recipient shall receive and hold the Shares so Transferred subject to the   provisions of this Section (including the Right of First Refusal) and   there shall be no further Transfer of such Shares except in accordance with   the terms of this Section.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The   Right of First Refusal shall terminate as to all Shares upon the Public   Trading Date.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Right of Repurchase
    	
 
    	
If your   status as a Service Provider is terminated for any reason, the Company shall   have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase from you, or your   personal representative, as the case may be, any or all of the Shares that   you have or will acquire under this Award (and any or all Shares acquired   upon exercise of the Award after the date on which you cease to be a Service   Provider) at a per Share price equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on   the date on which you cease to be a Service Provider (the “Call Right”).
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The   Company may exercise the Call Right by delivering to you (or your transferee   or legal representative, as the case may be) personally or by registered mail   within ninety (90) days after the date on which you cease to be a Service   Provider (or, in the case of Shares which are acquired after the date on   which you cease to be a Service Provider, then within ninety (90) days after   the date on which such Shares are acquired), a notice in writing indicating   the Company’s intention to exercise the Call Right and setting forth a date   for closing not later than thirty (30) days from the mailing of such notice.   The closing shall take place at the Company’s office. At the closing, the   holder of the certificates for the Shares being transferred shall deliver the   stock certificate or certificates evidencing the Shares, and the Company   shall deliver the purchase price therefor.

At its   option, the Company may elect to make payment for the Shares to a bank   selected by the Company. The Company shall avail itself of this option by a   notice in writing to you stating the name and address of the bank, date of   closing, and waiving the closing at the Company’s office.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
If the   Company does not elect to exercise the Call Right conferred above by giving   the requisite notice within the time provided herein, the Call Right shall   terminate.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The   Call Right shall terminate as to all Shares upon the Public Trading Date.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Drag-Along Sales
    	
 
    	
Notwithstanding   any other provision of this Award, if the Company or its stockholders receive   a bona fide arms’ length offer in writing from a third person or third   persons who are not affiliates of the Company (a “Third Party”)   (i) to purchase all or substantially all of the Shares of Common Stock   of the Company, (ii) to effect a business combination of the Company   with such Third Party or a subsidiary of such Third Party, or (iii) to   purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all the assets of the   Company (any of the transactions described in clauses (i), (ii) or   (iii), an “Acquisition Proposal”), and the Company or such   stockholders desire to accept or cause the Company to accept such Acquisition   Proposal, then, upon the demand of the Company (the “Drag-Along Right”),   you shall be required, as the case may be (x) to sell to such Third   Party a number of Shares of Common Stock owned by you, if any, equal to the   number of Shares specified in the applicable Drag-Along Notice (as defined   below) (it being expressly agreed and understood that in connection with any   Acquisition Proposal for less than 100% of the total outstanding Shares of   the Company’s Common Stock, you shall be required to sell that percentage of   your Shares of Common Stock equal to the percentage of Shares of Common Stock   of the Company being sold in connection with such Acquisition Proposal), for   the same consideration and on the same purchase terms and conditions as the   Company or such stockholders, as applicable, and such Third Party have agreed   with respect to the Company’s Common Stock generally in such transaction, and   (y) to vote all of the capital stock beneficially owned by you in favor   of such Acquisition Proposal and take all other necessary or desirable   actions within your control (including, without limitation, by attending   meetings in person or by proxy for the purpose of obtaining a quorum,   executing written consents in lieu of meetings and refraining from exercising   appraisal rights with respect to any such Acquisition Proposal), to cause the   approval of such Acquisition Proposal; provided, that notwithstanding the   foregoing, the liability for any indemnity obligations of you under such   document shall be several and not joint and several, and, with respect to   representations and warranties, shall not apply to any representations or   warranties other than representations and warranties relating solely to you.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
Prior   to consummating any Acquisition Proposal, if the Company elects to
    

 

5

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
exercise   the Drag-Along Right, the Company shall provide you with written notice (the “Drag-Along   Notice”) not more than thirty (30) nor less than ten (10) days prior   to the proposed closing date (the “Drag-Along Sale Date”) therefor.   The Drag-Along Notice shall be accompanied by a copy of any written agreement   relating to the Acquisition Proposal and shall set forth, if applicable:   (i) the proposed amount and form of consideration to be paid per Share of   Common Stock of the Company and the terms and conditions of payment offered   by the Third Party; (ii) the aggregate number of Shares of Common Stock   outstanding as of the close of business on the day prior to the date of the   Drag-Along Notice; (iii) the Drag-Along Sale Date; and (iv) confirmation   that the Third Party has agreed to purchase your Shares of Common Stock in   accordance with the terms hereof.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
On the   Drag-Along Sale Date, you, if a participant in the applicable Drag-Along   Sale, (a) shall authorize the Company (or the Company’s transfer agent,   if any) to record in the Company’s books and records the transfer of all of   your Shares of Common Stock included in such Drag-Along Sale which are not   represented by one or more certificates, from you to the purchaser in the   Drag-Along Sale and (b) shall deliver all certificates, if any, which   represent Shares of Common Stock owned by you included in such Drag-Along   Sale, duly endorsed for transfer with signatures guaranteed, to the purchaser   in the Drag-Along Sale, in the manner and at the address indicated in the   Drag-Along Notice, in each case against delivery of the purchase price for   such Shares of Common Stock. In addition, you, if a participant in the   applicable Drag-Along Sale, shall take all action as the Company or the   purchaser in the Drag-Along Sale shall reasonably request as necessary to   vest in the purchaser in the Drag-Along Sale all Shares of Common Stock owned   by you included in such Drag Along Sale, whether in certificated or uncertificated   form, free and clear of all liens, charges and encumbrances of any kind.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
You   shall cooperate in good faith with the Company in connection with the   consummation of the Drag-Along Sale, including, without limitation, by   executing a document containing customary representations, warranties,   indemnities and agreements as requested by any Third Party in connection with   the Drag-Along Sale.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
These   Drag-Along Sale provisions shall terminate as to all Shares of Common Stock   owned by you upon the Public Trading Date.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Leaves of Absence
    	
 
    	
For   purposes of this Agreement, while you are a common-law employee, your status   as a Service Provider does not terminate when you go on a bona fide leave of absence that was   approved by the Company (or its Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate) in writing,   if the terms of the leave provide for continued service crediting, or when   continued service crediting is required by applicable law. Your status as a   Service Provider terminates in any event 
    

 

6

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
when   the approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to active work.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The   Company determines which leaves count for this purpose, and when your status   as a Service Provider terminates for all purposes under the Plan.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Voting and Other Rights
    	
 
    	
A   Holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general   creditor of the Company. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, a Holder of   outstanding Stock Units subject to this Agreement have none of the rights and   privileges of a stockholder of the Company including, but not limited to, the   right to vote [or to receive dividends.]     [Notwithstanding the preceding   sentence, if the Company pays dividends on its common stock then you shall   receive such dividends on the same terms and conditions as other common   stockholders as if your Stock Units were Shares.]   Subject to the terms and conditions of this   Agreement, Stock Units create no fiduciary duty of the Company to you and   only represent an unfunded and unsecured contractual obligation of the   Company. The Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund   of any kind.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
You, or   your estate or heirs, have no rights as a stockholder of the Company until a   certificate for your Shares has been issued. No adjustments are made for   dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your   stock certificate is issued, except as described in the Plan.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Restrictions on Issuance
    	
 
    	
The   Company will not issue any Shares if the issuance of such Shares at that time   would violate any law or regulation.

 

Notwithstanding   anything to the contrary, this Award is granted on the condition that the Company’s   Series A Preferred stockholders approve the Plan. You understand and   agree that this Award may not be settled unless the Company’s Series A   Preferred stockholders approve the Plan. If the Company’s Series A   stockholders do not approve the Plan then this Award shall be forfeited   without consideration.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Taxes and Withholding
    	
 
    	
You   will be solely responsible for payment of any and all applicable taxes   associated with this Award.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The   delivery to you of any Shares underlying vested Stock Units will not be   permitted unless and until you have satisfied any withholding or other taxes   that may be due. Any such tax withholding obligations may be settled in the   Company’s discretion by the Company withholding and retaining a portion of   the Shares from the Shares that would otherwise be deliverable to you under   the vesting Stock Units. Such withheld Shares will be applied to pay the   withholding obligation by using the aggregate Fair Market Value of the   withheld Shares as of the date of vesting. You will be delivered the net   amount of vested Shares after the Share withholding has been effected and you   will not receive the withheld Shares.

The   Company shall have the right to designate one or more periods of time, each   of which shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in length, during   which any Shares acquired under this Award shall not be sold, if the Company   determines (in its sole discretion) that such limitation on sale could in any   way facilitate a lessening of any restriction on transfer pursuant to the   Securities Act or any state securities laws with respect to any issuance of   securities by the Company, facilitate the registration or qualification of   any securities by the Company under the Securities Act or any state   securities laws, or facilitate the perfection of any exemption from the   registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act or any applicable   state securities laws for the issuance or transfer of any securities.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
If the   sale of Shares acquired under this Award is not registered under the   Securities Act, but an exemption is available which requires an investment   representation or other representation and warranty, you shall represent and   agree that the Shares being acquired are being acquired for investment, and   not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such   other representations and warranties as are deemed necessary or appropriate   by the Company and its counsel.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
You may   also be required, as a condition of this Award, to enter into any   Stockholders Agreement or other agreements that are applicable to   stockholders.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
No Retention Rights
    	
 
    	
This   Agreement is not an employment agreement and does not give you the right to   be retained in any capacity by the Company (or its Parent, Subsidiaries or   Affiliates). The Company (or its Parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) reserves   the right to terminate your status as a Service Provider at any time and for   any reason.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Adjustments
    	
 
    	
In the   event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in the Company   stock, the number of outstanding Stock Units covered by this Award may be   adjusted (and rounded down to the nearest whole number) pursuant to the Plan.

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed shares of Common Stock (the “Securities”) of LegalZoom.com, Inc. (the “Company”), I represent to the Company the following:

 

1.             I am aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and have acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. I am acquiring these Securities for investment for my own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

2.             I acknowledge and understand that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of my investment intent as expressed herein. I understand that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. I further acknowledge and understand that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. I understand that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and any other legend required under applicable state securities laws.

 

3.             I am familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Securities to me, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three (3) month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

 

In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Securities, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which generally requires (i) if the Company has not been subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least ninety (90) days then the resale must occur not less than one (1) year after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144, or (ii) if the Company has been subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least ninety (90) days then the resale must occur not less than six (6) months after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, depending on whether Securities being sold are by

an affiliate or non-affiliate of the Company along with other facts, the satisfaction of some or all of the conditions set forth in Sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.

 

4.             I further understand that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. I understand that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.

 

5.             I understand and acknowledge that the Company will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations and I hereby consent to such reliance.
