Item 6.

 

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

The bye-laws of the Registrant provide that each director, officer, resident representative, committee member and liquidator, manager or trustee acting in relation to the Registrant’s affairs and his or her heirs, executors and administrators (each, an “Indemnified Person”) will be indemnified and held harmless out of the Registrant’s assets against all liabilities, loss, damage or expense, whether under contract, tort and statute or any applicable foreign law or regulation and all reasonable legal and other costs and expenses properly payable, incurred or suffered by him or her by or by reason of any act done, conceived in or omitted in the conduct of the Registrant’s business or in the discharge of his or her duties to the fullest extent authorized by the Companies Act.  Each Indemnified Person will be indemnified out of the Registrant’s assets against all liabilities incurred by him or her by or by reason of any act done, conceived in or omitted in the conduct of the Registrant’s business or in the discharge of his or her duties, in defending any criminal or civil proceedings in which judgment is given in his or her favor, or in which he or she is acquitted, or in connection with any application under the Companies Act in which relief from liability is granted by the court.  Any indemnification to which an Indemnified Person is entitled due to amounts paid or discharged by him or her will become an obligation of the Registrant to reimburse such Indemnified Person making such payment or effecting such discharge.

 

The Registrant’s bye-laws also provide for the advancement of costs incurred in defending any civil or criminal action or proceeding for which indemnification is required pursuant to the Registrant’s bye-laws upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person to repay such amount if any allegation of fraud or dishonesty is proved against such Indemnified Person, provided that no amounts will be paid unless such payment is authorized upon a determination by vote of disinterested directors or shareholders or by independent legal counsel that indemnification would be proper because the Registrant’s director or officer met the standard of conduct which would entitle him or her to the indemnification thereby provided.

 

The bye-laws provide that the Registrant and the Registrant’s shareholders waive any claim or right of action against any Indemnified Person on account of any action taken by him or her or any failure by him or her to take any action in the performance of his or her duties with or for the Registrant, provided that such waiver will not apply to any claims or rights of action arising out of the fraud of such Indemnified Person or to matters which would render the waiver void pursuant to the Companies Act.

 

The Registrant is permitted to purchase and maintain insurance for or for the benefit of any Indemnified Person or any person who is or was at any time a director, officer or employee of the Registrant, or of any other company which is its holding company or in which the Registrant or such holding company has any interest whether direct or indirect or which is in any way allied to or associated with the Registrant, or of any subsidiary undertaking of the Registrant or any such other company, or who is or was at any time trustee of any pension fund in which employees of the Registrant or any such other company or subsidiary undertaking are interested, including insurance against any liability incurred by such person in respect of any act or omission in the actual or purported execution or discharge of his or her duties or in the exercise or purported exercise of his or her powers or otherwise in relation to his or her duties, powers or offices in relation to the Registrant or any such other company, subsidiary undertaking or pension fund.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained in the bye-laws of the Registrant, an Indemnified Person will not be liable to the Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation is not permitted under the Companies Act.  Neither the amendment nor repeal of any provision of the Registrant’s bye-laws will alter the rights of an Indemnified Person to the advancement of expenses or indemnification related to a claim based on an act or failure to act which took place prior to such amendment, repeal or termination.

Undertakings

 

A.            The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; (2) that for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the Registrant’s U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plan and International Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

 

B.            The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that is incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

C.            Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re:

 

Genpact Limited — Registration Statement for
Offering of 4,200,000 Common Shares

 

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Genpact Limited, a Bermuda limited liability company (the “Company”), in connection with the registration on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of (i) 900,000 common shares of the Company issuable under the Company’s U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “US Purchase Plan”) and (ii)  an additional 3,300,000 common shares of the Company issuable under the Company’s International Employee Stock Purchase Plan (together with the US Purchase Plan, the “Plans”).

 

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 8 of Form S-8 and Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K.

 

We have reviewed the Company’s charter documents and the corporate proceedings taken by the Company with respect to the establishment and amendment of the Plans.  Based on such review, we are of the opinion that, if, as and when the shares have been issued and sold (and the consideration therefor received) pursuant to the provisions of duly authorized stock purchase rights issued under the Plans and in accordance with the Registration Statement, such shares will be duly authorized, legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

We consent to your filing this letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. In giving the opinion set forth in this letter, we do not hereby admit that we are acting within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

 

This opinion letter is rendered as of the date first written above, and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of facts, circumstances, events or developments which hereafter may be brought to our attention and which may alter, affect or modify the opinion expressed herein. Our opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above, and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the Company, the Plans or the shares registered on this S-8 registration statement.

 

 

Very truly yours,

U.S. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

 

(As Amended July 17, 2008)

 

I.                                         PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

 

                                                                                                This U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plan is intended to promote the interests of Genpact Limited, a Bermuda limited exempted company, by providing eligible employees with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through participation in a payroll deduction-based employee stock purchase plan designed to qualify under Section 423 of the Code.

 

                                                                                                Capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached Appendix.

 

II.                                     ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

 

                                                                                                The Compensation Committee is hereby appointed by the Board to serve as Plan Administrator and shall in that capacity have full authority to interpret and construe any provision of the Plan and to adopt such rules and regulations for administering the Plan as it may deem necessary in order to comply with the requirements of Code Section 423.  Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties having an interest in the Plan.

 

III.                                 STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN

 

                                                                                                A.            The stock purchasable under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued or reacquired Shares, including Shares purchased on the open market.  The number of Shares reserved for issuance in the aggregate over the term of the Plan and the International Plan shall be limited to 4,200,000 Shares.

 

                                                                                                B.            In the event of any recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up or spin-off, reorganization, amalgamation, consolidation, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event that affects the Shares or as otherwise permitted under Bermuda law, the Plan Administrator shall adjust (i) the maximum number and class of securities issuable in the aggregate under the Plan and the International Plan, (ii) the maximum number and class of securities purchasable per Participant on any one Purchase Date, (iii) the maximum number and class of securities purchasable in total by all Participants in the aggregate under the Plan and the International Plan on any one Purchase Date and (iv) the number and class of securities and the price per share in effect under each outstanding purchase right in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits thereunder.

                                                                                                A.            Shares shall be offered for purchase under the Plan through a series of offering periods until such time as (i) the maximum number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have been purchased or (ii) the Plan shall have been sooner terminated.

 

                                                                                                B.            Each offering period shall be of such duration (not to exceed twenty-four (24) months) as determined by the Plan Administrator prior to the start date of such offering period.  Until such time as the Plan Administrator specifies otherwise, offering periods shall commence on the first business day in March and September each year and shall end on the last business day in the subsequent August and February each year respectively.  The initial offering period shall commence on the Effective Date and shall terminate on the last business day in February 2009.

 

                                                                                                C.            Each offering period shall consist of a series of one or more successive Purchase Intervals.  Until such time as the Plan Administrator specifies otherwise, each offering period shall comprise of one Purchase Interval.

                                                                                                B.            Each Affiliate listed in attached Schedule A shall be a participating Company in this Plan, effective as of the Effective Date.  Each corporation that becomes an Affiliate at any time thereafter shall automatically become a participating Company in the Plan effective as of the start date of the offering period coincident with or next following the date on which it becomes such an Affiliate.

 

                                                                                                C.            The date an individual enters an offering period shall be designated his or her Entry Date for purposes of that offering period.

                                                                                                A.                 & #160;                 The payroll deduction authorized by the Participant for purposes of acquiring Shares during an offering period may be any multiple of one percent (1%) of the Base Salary paid to the Participant during each Purchase Interval within that offering period, up to a maximum of fifteen percent (15%) or such lesser percentage as may be specified by the Plan Administrator prior to the start date of such offering period.  The deduction rate so authorized shall continue in effect throughout the offering period, except to the extent such rate is changed in accordance with the following guidelines:

 

(i)            The Participant may, at any time during the offering period, reduce his or her rate of payroll deduction to become effective as soon as possible after filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator.

 

(ii)           The Participant may, prior to the commencement of any new Purchase Interval within the offering period, increase the rate of his or her payroll deduction by filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator.  The new rate (which may not exceed the maximum payroll deduction percentage in effect for that offering period) shall become effective on the start date of the first Purchase Interval following the filing of such form.

 

                                                                                                B.            Payroll deductions shall begin on the first pay day administratively feasible following the Participant’s Entry Date and shall (unless sooner terminated by the Participant) continue through the pay day ending with or immediately prior to the last day of that offering period.  The amounts so collected shall be credited to the Participant’s book account under the Plan, but no interest shall be paid on the balance from time to time outstanding in such account.  The amounts collected from the Participant shall not be required to be held in any segregated account or trust fund and may be commingled with the general assets of the Company and used for general corporate purposes.  Payroll deductions collected in a currency other than U.S. Dollars shall be converted into U.S. Dollars on the last day of the Purchase Interval in which collected, with such conversion to be based on the exchange rate determined by the Plan Administrator it its sole discretion.

 

                                                                                                C.            Payroll deductions shall automatically cease upon the termination of the Participant’s purchase right in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

 

                                                                                                D.            Subject to Section VIII, the Participant’s acquisition of Shares under the Plan on any Purchase Date shall neither limit nor require the Participant’s acquisition of Shares on any subsequent Purchase Date, whether within the same or a different offering period.

 

VII.                            PURCHASE RIGHTS

 

                                                                                                A.            Grant of Purchase Rights.  A Participant shall be granted a separate purchase right for each offering period in which he or she is enrolled.  The purchase right shall be granted on the Participant’s Entry Date and shall provide the Participant with the right to purchase Shares, in a series of successive installments during that offering period, upon the terms

 

 

 

 

3



 

 

set forth below.  The Participant shall execute a stock purchase agreement embodying such terms and such other provisions (not inconsistent with the Plan) as the Plan Administrator may deem advisable.

 

Under no circumstances shall purchase rights be granted under the Plan to any Eligible Employee if such individual would, immediately after the grant, own (within the meaning of Code Section 424(d)) or hold outstanding options or other rights to purchase, stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any Affiliate.

 

B.            Exercise of the Purchase RightEach purchase right shall be automatically exercised in installments on each successive Purchase Date within the offering period, and Shares shall accordingly be purchased on behalf of each Participant on each such Purchase Date.  The purchase shall be effected by applying the Participant’s payroll deductions for the Purchase Interval ending on such Purchase Date to the purchase of whole Shares at the purchase price in effect for the Participant for that Purchase Date.

 

C.            Purchase PriceThe purchase price per share at which Shares will be purchased on the Participant’s behalf on each Purchase Date within the particular offering period in which he or she is enrolled shall be determined by the Plan Administrator at the start of each offering period and shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per Share on the Participant’s Entry Date or (ii) the Fair Market Value per Share on that Purchase Date.  Until such time as otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, the purchase price per share at which Shares will be purchased on each Purchase Date shall be ninety-five percent (95%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on that Purchase Date.

 

D.            Number of Purchasable Shares.  The number of Shares purchasable by a Participant on each Purchase Date during the particular offering period in which he or she is enrolled shall be the number of whole shares obtained by dividing the amount collected from the Participant through payroll deductions during the Purchase Interval ending with that Purchase Date by the purchase price in effect for the Participant for that Purchase Date.  However, the maximum number of Shares purchasable per Participant on any one Purchase Date shall not exceed 1,000 shares, subject to periodic adjustments in the event of certain changes in the Company’s capitalization. However, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority, exercisable prior to the start of any offering period under the Plan, to increase or decrease the limitation to be in effect for the number of shares purchasable per Participant on each Purchase Date which occurs during that offering period and to establish the maximum number of Shares purchasable in total by all Participants enrolled in that particular offering period on each such Purchase Date.

 

E.             Excess Payroll Deductions.  Any payroll deductions not applied to the purchase of Shares on any Purchase Date because they are not sufficient to purchase a whole Share shall be held for the purchase of shares on the next Purchase Date.  However, any payroll deductions not applied to the purchase of Shares by reason of the limitation on the maximum number of Shares purchasable per Participant or in total by all Participants on the Purchase Date shall be promptly refunded.

 

 

 

4



 

 

F.                                      Suspension of Payroll Deductions.  In the event that a Participant is, by reason of the accrual limitations in Article VIII, precluded from purchasing additional Shares on one or more Purchase Dates during the offering period in which he or she is enrolled, then no further payroll deductions shall be collected from such Participant with respect to those Purchase Dates.  The suspension of such deductions shall not terminate the Participant’s purchase right for the offering period in which he or she is enrolled, and payroll deductions shall automatically resume on behalf of such Participant once he or she is again able to purchase shares during that offering period in compliance with the accrual limitations of Article VIII.

 

G.                                     Withdrawal from Offering Period.  The following provisions shall govern the Participant’s withdrawal from an offering period:

 

                                                                                                (i)            A Participant may withdraw from the offering period in which he or she is enrolled at any time prior to the next scheduled Purchase Date by filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator (or its designate), and no further payroll deductions shall be collected from the Participant with respect to that offering period.  Any payroll deductions collected during the Purchase Interval in which such withdrawal occurs shall, at the Participant’s election, be immediately refunded or held for the purchase of shares on the next Purchase Date.  If no such election is made at the time of such withdrawal, then the payroll deductions collected from the Participant during the Purchase Interval in which such withdrawal occurs shall be refunded as soon as possible.

 

                                                                                                (ii)           The Participant’s withdrawal from a particular offering period shall be irrevocable, and the Participant may not subsequently rejoin that offering period at a later date.  In order to resume participation in any subsequent offering period, such individual must re-enroll in the Plan (by making a timely filing of the prescribed enrollment forms) on or before his or her scheduled Entry Date into that Purchase Interval.

 

H.            Termination of Purchase Right.  The following provisions shall govern the termination of outstanding purchase rights:

 

                                                                                                (i)            Should the Participant cease to remain an Eligible Employee for any reason (including death, disability or change in status) while his or her purchase right remains outstanding, then that purchase right shall immediately terminate, and all of the Participant’s payroll deductions for the Purchase Interval in which the purchase right so terminates shall be immediately refunded.

 

                                                                                                (ii)           However, should the Participant cease to remain in active service by reason of an approved unpaid leave of absence, then the Participant shall have the right, exercisable up until the last business day of the Purchase Interval in which such leave commences, to (a) withdraw all the payroll deductions collected to date on his or her behalf for that Purchase Interval or (b) have such funds held for the purchase of shares on his or her behalf on the next

 

 

 

 

 

 

5



 

 

scheduled Purchase Date.  In no event, however, shall any further payroll deductions be collected on the Participant’s behalf during such leave.  Upon the Participant’s return to active service (x) within three (3) months following the commencement of such leave or (y) prior to the expiration of any longer period for which such Participant’s right to reemployment with the Company is guaranteed by statute or contract, his or her payroll deductions under the Plan shall automatically resume at the rate in effect at the time the leave began, unless the Participant withdraws from the Plan prior to his or her return.  An individual who returns to active employment following a leave of absence that exceeds in duration the applicable (x) or (y) time period will be treated as a new Employee for purposes of subsequent participation in the Plan and must accordingly re-enroll in the Plan (by making a timely filing of the prescribed enrollment forms) on or before his or her scheduled Entry Date into the offering period.

 

I.              Change of Control.  Each outstanding purchase right shall automatically be exercised, immediately prior to the effective date of any Change of Control, by applying the payroll deductions of each Participant for the Purchase Interval in which such Change of Control occurs to the purchase of whole Shares at a purchase price per share not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per Share on the Participant’s Entry Date into the offering period in which such individual is enrolled at the time of such Change of Control or (ii) the Fair Market Value per Share immediately prior to the effective date of such Change of Control.  The actual percentage purchase price shall be equal to the percentage price in effect under Article VII.C for the offering period in which the Participant is enrolled at the time of such Change of Control.  However, any applicable limitation on the number of Shares purchasable per Participant shall continue to apply to any such purchase, but not the limitation applicable to the maximum number of Shares purchasable in total by all Participants on any one Purchase Date.

 

The Company shall use its best efforts to provide at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the occurrence of any Change of Control to all Participants, and the Participants shall, following the receipt of such notice, have the right to terminate their outstanding purchase rights prior to the effective date of the Change of Control.

 

J.             Proration of Purchase Rights.  Should the total number of Shares to be purchased pursuant to outstanding purchase rights on any particular date exceed the number of shares then available for issuance in the aggregate under the Plan and the International Plan, the Plan Administrator shall make a pro-rata allocation of the available shares on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, and the payroll deductions of each Participant, to the extent in excess of the aggregate purchase price payable for the Shares pro-rated to such individual, shall be refunded.

 

K.            ESPP Brokerage Account.  The Plan Administrator may require that the Shares purchased on behalf of each Participant shall be deposited directly into a brokerage account which the Company shall establish for the Participant at a Company-designated brokerage firm.  The account will be known as the ESPP Brokerage Account.  The following

 

 

 

 

 

6



 

 

policies and procedures shall be in place for any shares deposited into the Participant’s ESPP Broker Account until those shares have been held for the requisite period necessary to avoid a disqualifying disposition under the federal tax laws.  Accordingly, the shares must be held in the ESPP Brokerage Account until the later of the following two periods: (i) the end of the two (2)-year period measured from the start date of the offering period in which the shares were purchased and (ii) the end of the one (1)-year measured from the actual purchase date of those shares.

 

                                                                                                The deposited shares shall not be transferable (either electronically or in certificate form) from the ESPP Brokerage Account until the required holding period for those shares is satisfied.  Such limitation shall apply both to transfers to different accounts with the same ESPP broker and to transfers to other brokerage firms.  Any shares held for the required holding period may be transferred (either electronically or in certificate form) to other accounts or to other brokerage firms.

 

                                                                                                The foregoing procedures shall not in any way limit when the Participant may sell his or her shares.  Those procedures are designed solely to assure that any sale of shares prior to the satisfaction of the required holding period is made through the ESPP Brokerage Account.  In addition, the Participant may request a stock certificate or share transfer from his or her ESPP Brokerage Account prior to the satisfaction of the required holding period should the Participant wish to make a gift of any shares held in that account.  However, Shares may not be transferred (either electronically or in certificate form) from the ESPP Brokerage Account for use as collateral for a loan, unless those shares have been held for the required holding period.

 

                                                                                                To the extent the Plan Administrator requires that Shares be deposited in the ESPP Brokerage Account, the foregoing procedures shall apply to all Shares purchased by the Participant under the Plan, whether or not the Participant continues in employee status.

 

                                                                                                L.             Assignability.  The purchase right shall be exercisable only by the Participant and shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant.

 

                                                                                                M.           Shareholder Rights.  A Participant shall have no shareholder rights with respect to the Shares subject to his or her outstanding purchase right until the Shares are purchased on the Participant’s behalf in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Participant has become a holder of record of the purchased Shares.

 

VIII.                        ACCRUAL LIMITATIONS

 

                                                                                                A.            No Participant shall be entitled to accrue rights to acquire Shares pursuant to any purchase right outstanding under the Plan if and to the extent such accrual, when aggregated with (i) rights to purchase Shares accrued under any other purchase right granted under the Plan and (ii) similar rights accrued under other employee stock purchase plans (within the meaning of Code Section 423) of the Company or any Affiliate, would otherwise permit such Participant to purchase more than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) worth of stock of the Company or any Affiliate (determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value per

 

 

 

 

7



 

 

share on the date or dates such rights are granted) for each calendar year such rights are at any time outstanding.

 

B.            For purposes of applying such accrual limitations to the purchase rights granted under the Plan, the following provisions shall be in effect:

 

                                                                                                (i)            The right to acquire Shares under each outstanding purchase right shall accrue in a series of installments on each successive Purchase Date during the offering period in which such right remains outstanding.

 

                                                                                                (ii)           No right to acquire Shares under any outstanding purchase right shall accrue to the extent the Participant has already accrued in the same calendar year the right to acquire shares under one or more other purchase rights at a rate equal to Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) worth of Shares (determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date or dates of grant) for each calendar year such rights were at any time outstanding.

 

                                                                                                C.            If by reason of such accrual limitations, any purchase right of a Participant does not accrue for a particular Purchase Interval, then the payroll deductions that the Participant made during that Purchase Interval with respect to such purchase right shall be promptly refunded.

 

                                                                                                D.            In the event there is any conflict between the provisions of this Article and one or more provisions of the Plan or any instrument issued thereunder, the provisions of this Article shall be controlling.

 

IX.                                EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

 

                                                                                                A.            The Plan was adopted by the Board on February 6, 2008, and shall become effective on the Effective Date provided (i) the Plan shall have been approved by the shareholders of the Company at the 2008 Annual Meeting and (ii) the Company shall have complied with all applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including the registration of the Shares issuable under the Plan on a Form S-8 registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission), all applicable listing requirements of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed for trading and all other applicable requirements established by law or regulation.

 

                                                                                                B.            Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the last business day in August 2018, (ii) the date on which all Shares available for issuance in the aggregate under the Plan and the International Plan shall have been sold pursuant to purchase rights exercised under the Plan and the International Plan or (iii) the date on which all purchase rights are exercised in connection with a Change of Control.  No further purchase rights shall be granted or exercised, and no further payroll deductions shall be collected, under the Plan following such termination.

X.                                    AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

 

                                                                                                A.            The Board may alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time to become effective immediately following the close of any Purchase Interval.  However, the Plan may be amended or terminated immediately upon Board action, if and to the extent necessary to assure that the Company will not recognize, for financial reporting purposes, any compensation expense in connection with the Shares offered for purchase under the Plan, should the financial accounting rules applicable to the Plan on the Effective Date be subsequently revised so as to require the Company to recognize compensation expense in the absence of such amendment or termination.

 

                                                                                                B.            In no event may the Board effect any of the following amendments or revisions to the Plan without the approval of the Company’s shareholders: (i) increase the number of Shares issuable in the aggregate under the Plan and the International Plan , except for permissible adjustments in the event of certain changes in the Company’s capitalization, (ii) alter the purchase price formula so as to reduce the purchase price payable for the Shares purchasable under the Plan or (iii) modify the eligibility requirements for participation in the Plan.

 

XI.                                GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

                                                                                                A.            All costs and expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan shall be paid by the Company; however, each Plan Participant shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such individual in the sale or other disposition of any shares purchased under the Plan.

 

                                                                                                B.            Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Affiliate employing such person) or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate such person’s employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause.

 

                                                                                                C.            The provisions of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules.

A.            Except to the extent otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, payment for Shares purchased under the Plan shall be effected by means of the Participant’s authorized payroll deduction.

 

B.            The payroll deduction authorized by the Participant for purposes of acquiring Shares during an offering period may be any multiple of one percent (1%) of the Base Salary paid to the Participant during each Purchase Interval within that offering period, up to a maximum of fifteen percent (15%) or such lesser percentage as may be specified by the Plan Administrator prior to the start date of such offering period.  The deduction rate so authorized shall continue in effect throughout the offering period, except to the extent such rate is changed in accordance with the following guidelines:

 

(i)            The Participant may, at any time during the offering period, reduce his or her rate of payroll deduction to become effective as soon as possible after filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator.

 

(ii)           The Participant may, prior to the commencement of any new Purchase Interval within the offering period, increase the rate of his or her payroll deduction by filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator.  The new rate (which may not exceed the maximum payroll deduction percentage in effect for that offering period) shall become effective on the start date of the first Purchase Interval following the filing of such form.

 

C.            Payroll deductions shall begin on the first pay day administratively feasible following the Participant’s Entry Date and shall (unless sooner terminated by the Participant) continue through the pay day ending with or immediately prior to the last day of that offering period.  The amounts so collected shall be credited to the Participant’s book account under the Plan but, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law, no interest shall be paid on the balance from time to time outstanding in such account.  Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law, the amounts collected from the Participant shall not be required to be held in any segregated account or trust fund and may be commingled with the general assets of the Company and used for general corporate purposes.  Payroll deductions collected in a currency other than U.S. Dollars shall be converted into U.S. Dollars on the last day of the Purchase Interval in which collected, with such conversion to be based on the exchange rate determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion.  Any changes or fluctuations in the exchange rate at which the payroll deductions collected on the Participant’s behalf are converted into U.S. Dollars on each Purchase Date shall be borne solely by the Participant.

 

D.            Payroll deductions shall automatically cease upon the termination of the Participant’s purchase right in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

E.             Subject to Section VIII, the Participant’s acquisition of Shares under the Plan on any Purchase Date shall neither limit nor require the Participant’s acquisition of Shares on any subsequent Purchase Date, whether within the same or a different offering period.

 

VII.                            PURCHASE RIGHTS

 

A.            Grant of Purchase Rights.  A Participant shall be granted a separate purchase right for each offering period in which he or she is enrolled.  The purchase right shall be granted on the Participant’s Entry Date and shall provide the Participant with the right to purchase Shares, in a series of successive installments during that offering period, upon the terms set forth below.  The Participant shall execute a stock purchase agreement embodying such terms and such other provisions (not inconsistent with the Plan) as the Plan Administrator may deem advisable.

 

Under no circumstances shall purchase rights be granted under the Plan to any Eligible Employee if such individual would, immediately after the grant, own (within the meaning of Code Section 424(d)) or hold outstanding options or other rights to purchase, stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any Affiliate.

 

B.            Exercise of the Purchase RightEach purchase right shall be automatically exercised in installments on each successive Purchase Date within the offering period, and Shares shall accordingly be purchased on behalf of each Participant on each such Purchase Date.  The purchase shall be effected by applying the Participant’s payroll deductions (as converted into U.S. Dollars) for the Purchase Interval ending on such Purchase Date to the purchase of whole Shares at the purchase price in effect for the Participant for that Purchase Date.

 

C.            Purchase PriceThe U.S. Dollar purchase price per share at which Shares will be purchased on the Participant’s behalf on each Purchase Date within the particular offering period in which he or she is enrolled shall be determined by the Plan Administrator at the start of each offering period and shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per Share on the Participant’s Entry Date or (ii) the Fair Market Value per Share on that Purchase Date.  Until such time as otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, the purchase price per share at which Shares will be purchased on each Purchase Date shall be ninety-five percent (95%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on that Purchase Date.

 

D.            Number of Purchasable Shares.  The number of Shares purchasable by a Participant on each Purchase Date during the particular offering period in which he or she is enrolled shall be the number of whole shares obtained by dividing the amount collected from the Participant through payroll deductions during the Purchase Interval ending with that Purchase Date by the purchase price in effect for the Participant for that Purchase Date.  However, the maximum number of Shares purchasable per Participant on any one Purchase Date shall not exceed 1,000 shares, subject to periodic adjustments in the event of certain changes in the Company’s capitalization. However, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary

 

4



 

authority, exercisable prior to the start of any offering period under the Plan, to increase or decrease the limitation to be in effect for the number of shares purchasable per Participant on each Purchase Date which occurs during that offering period and to establish the maximum number of Shares purchasable in total by all Participants enrolled in that particular offering period on each such Purchase Date.

 

E.             Excess Payroll Deductions.  Any payroll deductions not applied to the purchase of Shares on any Purchase Date because they are not sufficient to purchase a whole Share shall be held for the purchase of shares on the next Purchase Date.  However, any payroll deductions not applied to the purchase of Shares by reason of the limitation on the maximum number of Shares purchasable per Participant or in total by all Participants on the Purchase Date shall be promptly refunded.

 

F.             Suspension of Payroll Deductions.  In the event that a Participant is, by reason of the accrual limitations in Article VIII, precluded from purchasing additional Shares on one or more Purchase Dates during the offering period in which he or she is enrolled, then no further payroll deductions shall be collected from such Participant with respect to those Purchase Dates.  The suspension of such deductions shall not terminate the Participant’s purchase right for the offering period in which he or she is enrolled, and payroll deductions shall automatically resume on behalf of such Participant once he or she is again able to purchase shares during that offering period in compliance with the accrual limitations of Article VIII.  All refunds shall be in the currency in which paid by the Foreign Subsidiary.

 

G.            Withdrawal from Offering Period.  The following provisions shall govern the Participant’s withdrawal from an offering period:

 

(i)            A Participant may withdraw from the offering period in which he or she is enrolled at any time prior to the next scheduled Purchase Date by filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator (or its designate), and no further payroll deductions shall be collected from the Participant with respect to that offering period.  Any payroll deductions collected during the Purchase Interval in which such withdrawal occurs shall, at the Participant’s election, be immediately refunded (in the currency in which paid by the Foreign Subsidiary) or held for the purchase of shares on the next Purchase Date.  If no such election is made at the time of such withdrawal, then the payroll deductions collected from the Participant during the Purchase Interval in which such withdrawal occurs shall be refunded as soon as possible.

 

(ii)           The Participant’s withdrawal from a particular offering period shall be irrevocable, and the Participant may not subsequently rejoin that offering period at a later date.  In order to resume participation in any subsequent offering period, such individual must re-enroll in the Plan (by making a timely filing of the prescribed enrollment forms) on or before his or her scheduled Entry Date into that Purchase Interval.

 

5



 

H.            Termination of Purchase Right.  The following provisions shall govern the termination of outstanding purchase rights:

 

(i)            Should the Participant cease to remain an Eligible Employee for any reason (including death, disability or change in status) while his or her purchase right remains outstanding, then that purchase right shall immediately terminate, and all of the Participant’s payroll deductions for the Purchase Interval in which the purchase right so terminates shall be immediately refunded in the currency in which paid by the Foreign Subsidiary.

 

(ii)           However, should the Participant cease to remain in active service by reason of an approved unpaid leave of absence, then the Participant shall have the right, exercisable up until the last business day of the Purchase Interval in which such leave commences, to (a) withdraw all the payroll deductions collected to date on his or her behalf for that Purchase Interval to be paid in the same currency in which paid by the Foreign Subsidiary or (b) have such funds held for the purchase of shares on his or her behalf on the next scheduled Purchase Date.  In no event, however, shall any further payroll deductions be collected on the Participant’s behalf during such leave.  Upon the Participant’s return to active service (x) within three (3) months following the commencement of such leave or (y) prior to the expiration of any longer period for which such Participant’s right to reemployment with the Company is guaranteed by statute or contract, his or her payroll deductions under the Plan shall automatically resume at the rate in effect at the time the leave began, unless the Participant withdraws from the Plan prior to his or her return.  An individual who returns to active employment following a leave of absence that exceeds in duration the applicable (x) or (y) time period will be treated as a new Employee for purposes of subsequent participation in the Plan and must accordingly re-enroll in the Plan (by making a timely filing of the prescribed enrollment forms) on or before his or her scheduled Entry Date into the offering period.

 

I.              Change of Control.  Each outstanding purchase right shall automatically be exercised, immediately prior to the effective date of any Change of Control, by applying the payroll deductions of each Participant for the Purchase Interval in which such Change of Control occurs to the purchase of whole Shares at a purchase price per share not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per Share on the Participant’s Entry Date into the offering period in which such individual is enrolled at the time of such Change of Control or (ii) the Fair Market Value per Share immediately prior to the effective date of such Change of Control.  The actual percentage purchase price shall be equal to the percentage price in effect under Article VII.C for the offering period in which the Participant is enrolled at the time of such Change of Control.  For this purpose, payroll deductions shall be converted from the currency in which paid by the Foreign Subsidiary into U.S. Dollars on the exchange rate in effect on the purchase date.  However, any applicable limitation on the number of Shares purchasable per Participant shall continue to apply to any such purchase, but not the limitation applicable to

 

6



 

the maximum number of Shares purchasable in total by all Participants on any one Purchase Date.

 

The Company shall use its best efforts to provide at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the occurrence of any Change of Control to all Participants, and the Participants shall, following the receipt of such notice, have the right to terminate their outstanding purchase rights prior to the effective date of the Change of Control.

 

J.             Proration of Purchase Rights.  Should the total number of Shares to be purchased pursuant to outstanding purchase rights on any particular date exceed the number of shares then available for issuance in the aggregate under the Plan and the U.S. Plan, the Plan Administrator shall make a pro-rata allocation of the available shares on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, and the payroll deductions of each Participant, to the extent in excess of the aggregate purchase price payable for the Shares pro-rated to such individual, shall be refunded.

 

K.            ESPP Brokerage Account.  The Plan Administrator may require that the Shares purchased on behalf of each Participant shall be deposited directly into a brokerage account which the Company shall establish for the Participant at a Company-designated brokerage firm.  The account will be known as the ESPP Brokerage Account.  The following policies and procedures shall be in place for any shares deposited into the Participant’s ESPP Broker Account until those shares have been held for the requisite period necessary to avoid a disqualifying disposition under the federal tax laws.  Accordingly, the shares must be held in the ESPP Brokerage Account until the later of the following two periods: (i) the end of the two (2)-year period measured from the start date of the offering period in which the shares were purchased and (ii) the end of the one (1)-year measured from the actual purchase date of those shares.

 

The deposited shares shall not be transferable (either electronically or in certificate form) from the ESPP Brokerage Account until the required holding period for those shares is satisfied.  Such limitation shall apply both to transfers to different accounts with the same ESPP broker and to transfers to other brokerage firms.  Any shares held for the required holding period may be transferred (either electronically or in certificate form) to other accounts or to other brokerage firms.

 

The foregoing procedures shall not in any way limit when the Participant may sell his or her shares.  Those procedures are designed solely to assure that any sale of shares prior to the satisfaction of the required holding period is made through the ESPP Brokerage Account.  In addition, the Participant may request a stock certificate or share transfer from his or her ESPP Brokerage Account prior to the satisfaction of the required holding period should the Participant wish to make a gift of any shares held in that account.  However, Shares may not be transferred (either electronically or in certificate form) from the ESPP Brokerage Account for use as collateral for a loan, unless those shares have been held for the required holding period.

 

7



 

To the extent the Plan Administrator requires that Shares be deposited in the ESPP Brokerage Account, the foregoing procedures shall apply to all Shares purchased by the Participant under the Plan, whether or not the Participant continues in employee status.

 

L.             Assignability.  The purchase right shall be exercisable only by the Participant and shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant.

 

M.           Shareholder Rights.  A Participant shall have no shareholder rights with respect to the Shares subject to his or her outstanding purchase right until the Shares are purchased on the Participant’s behalf in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Participant has become a holder of record of the purchased Shares.

 

N.            Withholding Taxes.  The Company’s obligation to deliver Shares upon exercise of a purchase right under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable withholding requirements, including income, employment and payroll taxes, social insurance, contributions, payment on account obligations or other payments required to be withheld by the Company.

 

VIII.                        ACCRUAL LIMITATIONS

 

A.    No Participant shall be entitled to accrue rights to acquire Shares pursuant to any purchase right outstanding under the Plan if and to the extent such accrual, when aggregated with (i) rights to purchase Shares accrued under any other purchase right granted under the Plan and (ii) similar rights accrued under other employee stock purchase plans (within the meaning of Code Section 423) of the Company or any Affiliate, would otherwise permit such Participant to purchase more than Twenty-Five Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S. $25,000.00) worth of stock of the Company or any Affiliate (determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share on the date or dates such rights are granted) for each calendar year such rights are at any time outstanding.

 

B.            For purposes of applying such accrual limitations to the purchase rights granted under the Plan, the following provisions shall be in effect:

 

(i)            The right to acquire Shares under each outstanding purchase right shall accrue in a series of installments on each successive Purchase Date during the offering period in which such right remains outstanding.

 

(ii)           No right to acquire Shares under any outstanding purchase right shall accrue to the extent the Participant has already accrued in the same calendar year the right to acquire shares under one or more other purchase rights at a rate equal to Twenty-Five Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S. $25,000.00) worth of Shares (determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date or dates of grant) for each calendar year such rights were at any time outstanding.

 

C.            If by reason of such accrual limitations, any purchase right of a Participant does not accrue for a particular Purchase Interval, then the payroll deductions that the Participant

 

8



 

made during that Purchase Interval with respect to such purchase right shall be promptly refunded.

 

D.            In the event there is any conflict between the provisions of this Article and one or more provisions of the Plan or any instrument issued thereunder, the provisions of this Article shall be controlling.

 

IX.                                EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

 

A.            The Plan was adopted by the Board on February 6, 2008, and shall become effective on the Effective Date provided (i) the Plan shall have been approved by the shareholders of the Company at the 2008 Annual Meeting and (ii) the Company shall have complied with all applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including the registration of the Shares issuable under the Plan on a Form S-8 registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission), all applicable listing requirements of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed for trading and all other applicable requirements established by law or regulation.

 

B.            Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the last business day in August 2018, (ii) the date on which all Shares available for issuance in the aggregate under the Plan and the U.S. Plan shall have been sold pursuant to purchase rights exercised under the Plan and the U.S. Plan or (iii) the date on which all purchase rights are exercised in connection with a Change of Control.  No further purchase rights shall be granted or exercised, and no further payroll deductions shall be collected, under the Plan following such termination.

 

X.                                    AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

 

A.            The Board may alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time to become effective immediately following the close of any Purchase Interval.  However, the Plan may be amended or terminated immediately upon Board action, if and to the extent necessary to assure that the Company will not recognize, for financial reporting purposes, any compensation expense in connection with the Shares offered for purchase under the Plan, should the financial accounting rules applicable to the Plan on the Effective Date be subsequently revised so as to require the Company to recognize compensation expense in the absence of such amendment or termination.

 

B.            In no event may the Board increase the number of Shares issuable in the aggregate under the Plan and the U.S. Plan without the approval of the Company’s shareholders, except for permissible adjustments in the event of certain changes in the Company’s capitalization.

XI.                                GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

A.            All costs and expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan shall be paid by the Company; however, each Plan Participant shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such individual in the sale or other disposition of any shares purchased under the Plan.

 

B.            Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Foreign Subsidiary for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Foreign Subsidiary employing such person) or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate such person’s employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause.
