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 Registrants affairs and his or
her heirs, executors and administrators (each, an Indemnified Person) will be
indemnified and held harmless out of the Registrants 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
Registrants 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 Registrants
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 Registrants 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 Registrants 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 Registrants
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 Registrants 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
Registrants 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 Registrants 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.

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
Registrants 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 Registrants 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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,

I. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
This U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plan is

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

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.

C. The date an individual enters an
offering period shall be designated his or her Entry Date for purposes of that
offering period.
D. An Eligible Employee must, in order
to participate in the Plan for a particular offering period, complete the
enrollment forms prescribed by the Plan Administrator (including a stock
purchase agreement and a payroll deduction authorization) and file such forms
with the Plan Administrator (or its designate) on or before his or her
scheduled Entry Date. The enrollment
forms filed by a Participant for a particular offering period shall continue in
effect for each subsequent offering period unless the Participant files new
enrollment forms on or before the start date of any subsequent offering period
or withdraws from the Plan.

VI. PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS
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 Participants 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 Participants 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 Participants purchase right in
accordance with the provisions of the Plan.
D. Subject to Section VIII, the
Participants acquisition of Shares under the Plan on any Purchase Date shall
neither limit nor require the Participants 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
Participants 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
Right. Each 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 Participants 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 Price. The purchase price per share at which
Shares will be purchased on the Participants 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 Participants 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
Companys 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 Participants 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 Participants 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 Participants 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
Participants 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 Participants 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 Participants behalf during such
leave. Upon the Participants 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 Participants 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 Participants 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 Participants
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 Participants 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

applicable listing requirements of any stock exchange on which the Shares are
listed for trading and all other applicable requirements established by law or

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

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.
8
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 Companys 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 Companys
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 persons 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 States
conflict-of-laws rules.

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 Participants 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 Participants 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 Participants 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 Participants purchase right in
accordance with the provisions of the Plan.
3
E. Subject to Section VIII, the
Participants acquisition of Shares under the Plan on any Purchase Date shall
neither limit nor require the Participants 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
Participants 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
Right. Each 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 Participants 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 Price. The U.S. Dollar purchase price per share
at which Shares will be purchased on the Participants 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 Participants 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
Companys 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 Participants 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 Participants 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 Participants 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
Participants 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 Participants 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 Participants behalf
during such leave. Upon the Participants
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 Participants 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 Participants 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 Participants 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 Participants 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 Companys 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 Companys shareholders, except for permissible
adjustments in the event of certain changes in the Companys capitalization.
9
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 persons 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 States
conflict-of-laws rules.
