4. ADMINISTRATION.
4.1 Committee Authority. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee will have full power to implement and carry out the Plan. Without limiting the previous sentence, the Committee will have the authority to:
(a) construe and interpret the Plan, any Award Agreement and any other agreement or document executed pursuant to the Plan; (b) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including determining the forms and agreements used in connection with the Plan; provided that the Committee may delegate to the President, the Chief Financial Officer or the officer in charge of Human Resources, in consultation with the General Counsel, the authority to approve revisions to the forms and agreements used in connection with the Plan that are designed to facilitate Plan administration, and that are not inconsistent with the Plan or with any resolutions of the Committee relating to the Plan; (c) select persons to receive Awards; provided that the Committee may delegate to one or more Executive Officers of the Company the authority to grant an Award under the Plan to Participants who are not Insiders of the Company; (d) determine the terms of Awards; (e) determine the number of Shares or other consideration subject to Awards; (f) determine whether Awards will be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem with, in replacement of, or as alternatives to, other Awards under the Plan or any other incentive or compensation plan of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary; (g) grant waivers of Plan or Award conditions; (h) determine the vesting, exercisability, transferability, and payment of Awards; (i) correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement; (j) determine whether an Award has been earned; (k) amend the Plan, except for amendments that increase the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan or change the eligibility criteria for participation in the Plan; or any other amendments that require approval of the stockholders of the Company; or (l) make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.
4.2 Committee Interpretation and Discretion. Any determination made by the Committee with respect to any Award shall be made in its sole discretion at the time of grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of the Plan or Award, at any later time, and such determination shall be final and binding on the Company and all persons having an interest in any Award under the Plan. Any dispute regarding the
2
interpretation of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be submitted by Participant or the Company to the Committee for review. The resolution of such a dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on the Company and Participant.
5. OPTIONS . The Committee may grant Options to eligible persons and will determine (a) whether the Options will be ISOs or NQSOs; (b) the number of Shares subject to the Option, (c) the Exercise Price of the Option, (d) the period during which the Option may be exercised, and (e) all other terms and conditions of the Option, subject to the following:
5.1 Form of Option Grant. Each Option granted under the Plan will be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement that will expressly identify the Option as an ISO or NQSO. The Stock Option Agreement will be substantially in a form (which need not be the same for each Participant) that the Committee or an officer of the Company (pursuant to Section 4.1(b)) has from time to time approved, and will comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
5.2 Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option will be the date on which the Committee makes the determination to grant the Option, unless a later date is otherwise specified by the Committee. The Stock Option Agreement, and a copy of the Plan and the current Prospectus for the Plan (plus any additional documents required to be delivered under applicable laws), will be delivered to the Participant within a reasonable time after the Option is granted. The Plan, the Prospectus and other documents may be delivered in any manner (including electronic distribution or posting) that meets applicable legal requirements.
5.3 Exercise Period and Expiration Date. Options will be exercisable within the times or upon the occurrence of events determined by the Committee and set forth in the Stock Option Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 5.6, and subject to Company policies established by the Committee (or by individuals to whom the Committee has delegated responsibility) from time to time with respect to vesting during leaves of absences. The Stock Option Agreement shall set forth the last date that the option may be exercised (the "Expiration Date"); provided that no Option will be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date the Option is granted; and provided further that no ISO granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder will be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date the Option is granted. The Committee also may provide for Options to become exercisable at one time or from time to time, periodically or otherwise, in such number of Shares or percentage of Shares subject to the Option as the Committee determines.
5.4 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an Option will be determined by the Committee when the Option is granted and may be less than Fair Market Value (but not less than the par value of the Shares); provided that (i) the Exercise Price of an ISO will not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant and (ii) the Exercise Price of any ISO granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no more than 500,000 Shares annually (less any Shares that have been issued under the Plan as Stock Bonuses or as Restricted Stock Awards at a price of less than Fair Market Value on the date of grant) may be made subject to Options granted at an Exercise Price that is less than Fair Market Value on the date of grant. Payment for the Shares purchased must be made in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan and the Stock Option Agreement.
5.5 Procedures for Exercise. A Participant or Authorized Transferee may exercise Options by following the procedures established by the Company's Stock Administration Department, as communicated and made available to Participants through the stock pages on the Intuit Legal Department intranet web site, and/or through the Company's electronic mail system.
5.6 Termination.
(a) Vesting. Any Option granted to a Participant will cease to vest on the Participant's Termination Date, if the Participant is Terminated for any reason other than "total disability" (as defined in this Section 5.6(a)) or death (or his or her death occurs within three months of Termination). Any Option granted to a Participant who is an employee who has been actively employed by the Company or any Subsidiary for one year or more or a director will vest as to 100% of the Shares subject to such Option, if the Participant is Terminated due to "total disability" or
3
death (or his or her death occurs within three months of Termination). For purposes of this Section 5.6(a), "total disability" shall mean: (A) (i) for so long as such definition is used for purposes of the Company's group life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment plan or group long term disability plan, that the Participant is unable to perform each of the material duties of any gainful occupation for which the Participant is or becomes reasonably fitted by training, education or experience and which total disability is in fact preventing the Participant from engaging in any employment or occupation for wage or profit; or, (ii) if such definition has changed, such other definition of "total disability" as determined under the Company's group life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment plan or group long term disability plan; and (B) the Company shall have received from the Participant's primary physician a certification that the Participant's total disability is likely to be permanent. Any Option granted to an employee who is Terminated by the Company, or any Subsidiary or Parent within one year following the date of a Corporate Transaction, will immediately vest as to such number of Shares as the Participant would have been vested twelve months after the date of Termination had the Participant remained employed for that twelve month period.
(b) Post-Termination Exercise Period. Following a Participant's Termination, the Participant's Option may be exercised to the extent vested as set forth in Section 5.6(a):
(i) no later than 90 days after the Termination Date if a Participant is Terminated for any reason except death or Disability, unless a longer time period, not exceeding five years, is specifically set forth in the Participant's Stock Option Agreement; provided that no Option may be exercised after the Expiration Date of the Option; or (ii) no later than (A) twelve months after the Termination Date in the case of Termination due to Disability or (B) eighteen months after the Termination Date in the case of Termination due to death or if a Participant dies within three months of the Termination Date, unless a longer time period, not exceeding five years, is specifically set forth in the Participant's Stock Option Agreement; provided that no Option may be exercised after the Expiration Date of the Option.
5.7 Limitations on Exercise. The Committee may specify a reasonable minimum number of Shares that may be purchased on any exercise of an Option; provided that the minimum number will not prevent a Participant from exercising an Option for the full number of Shares for which it is then exercisable.
5.8 Limitations on ISOs. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under the Plan or under any other incentive stock option plan of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) shall not exceed $100,000. If the Fair Market Value of Shares on the date of grant with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the Options for the first $100,000 worth of Shares to become exercisable in that calendar year will be ISOs, and the Options for the Shares with a Fair Market Value in excess of $100,000 that become exercisable in that calendar year will be NQSOs. If the Code is amended after the Effective Date of the Plan to provide for a different limit on the Fair Market Value of Shares permitted to be subject to ISOs, such different limit shall be automatically incorporated into the Plan and will apply to any Options granted after the effective date of the amendment.
5.9 Notice of Disqualifying Dispositions of Shares Acquired on Exercise of an ISO. If a Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO on or before the later of (1) the date two years after the Date of Grant, and (2) the date one year after the exercise of the ISO (in either case, a "Disqualifying Disposition"), the Participant must immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. The Participant may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by the Participant from the Disqualifying Disposition.
5.10 Modification, Extension or Renewal. The Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options and authorize the grant of new Options in substitution therefor; provided that any such action may not, without the written consent of Participant, impair any of Participant's rights under any Option previously granted; and provided, further that without stockholder approval, the modified, extended, renewed or new Option
4
may not have a lower Exercise Price than the outstanding Option. Any outstanding ISO that is modified, extended, renewed or otherwise altered shall be treated in accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code. The Committee may reduce the Exercise Price of outstanding Options without the consent of Participants affected, by a written notice to them; provided, however, that unless prior stockholder approval is ...
