1.1.
|
TITLE.
The plan described herein shall be known as the ZAGG INCORPORATED 2007
Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan").
|
1.2.
|
PURPOSE.
The purpose of this Plan is to promote long-term growth and profitability
of ZAGG INCORPORATED (the "Company") and its Subsidiaries by (i)
compensating certain directors, officers, employees of and certain other
persons who perform services for the Company and its Subsidiaries for
services rendered by such persons after the date of adoption of this Plan
to the Company or any Subsidiary; (ii) providing certain directors,
officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries with
significant additional incentive to promote the financial success of the
Company; and (iii) providing an incentive which may be used to induce able
persons to serve or remain on the Board of Directors of the Company or to
enter into or remain in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary.
Grants of Incentive or Non-qualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock or a
combination of the foregoing may be made under the
Plan.
|
1.3.
|
EFFECTIVE
DATE. The Plan became effective upon its approval by the Board of
Directors and the stockholders of the Company (the "Effective
Date").
|
1.4.
|
DEFINED
TERMS. Certain capitalized terms used herein have the meanings as set
forth in Section 12.1 of the Plan.
|
2.1.
|
INITIAL
ADMINISTRATION. This Plan shall initially be administered by the Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors shall delegate the administration of the
Plan to a Compensation Committee (the "Committee") in the event that such
a committee is established by the Board of Directors and is comprised of
persons appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2.3. The Board shall exercise full power
and authority regarding the administration of the Plan until such
administration is delegated to the Committee. Unless the context otherwise
requires, references herein to the Committee shall be deemed to refer to
the Board of Directors until the administration of the Plan has been
delegated to the Committee.
|
2.2.
|
COMMITTEE'S
POWERS. The Committee shall have full power and authority to prescribe,
amend and rescind rules and procedures governing administration of this
Plan. The Committee shall have full power and authority (i) to interpret
the terms of this Plan, the terms of the Grants and the rules and
procedures established by the Committee and (ii) to determine the meaning
of or requirements imposed by or rights of any person under this Plan, any
Grant or any rule or procedure established by the Committee. Each action
of the Committee which is within the scope of the authority delegated to
the Committee by this Plan or by the Board shall be binding on all
persons.
|
2.3.
|
COMMITTEE
MEMBERSHIP. The Committee shall be composed of one or more members of the
Board. The Board shall have the power to determine the number of members
which the Committee shall have and to change the
number of membership positions on the Committee from time to time. The
Board shall appoint all members of the Committee. The Board may from time
to time appoint members to the Committee in substitution for, or in
addition to, members previously appointed and may fill vacancies, however
caused, on the Committee. Any member of the Committee may be removed from
the Committee by the Board at any time with or without cause.
|
2.4.
|
COMMITTEE
PROCEDURES. The Committee shall hold its meetings at such times and places
as it may determine. The Committee may make such rules and regulations for
the conduct of its business as it shall deem advisable. Unless the Board
or the Committee expressly decides to the contrary, a majority of the
members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum and any action taken by
a majority of the Committee members in attendance at a meeting at which a
quorum of Committee members are present shall be deemed an act of the
Committee.
|
2.5.
|
INDEMNIFICATION.
No member of the Committee shall be liable, in the absence of bad faith,
for any act or omission with respect to his or her service on the
Committee under this Plan. Service on the Committee shall constitute
service as a director of the Company so that the members of the Committee
shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement as directors of the
Company for any action or any failure to act in connection with service on
the Committee to the full extent provided for at any time in the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and By Laws, or in any insurance policy or
other agreement intended for the benefit of the Company's
directors.
|
4.1.
|
POWER
TO GRANT COMMON STOCK. The Committee shall have the right and the power to
grant at any time to any Grantee Options, Restricted Stock or a
combination thereof (each a "Grant"), in such quantity, at such price, on
such terms and subject to such conditions consistent with the provisions
of this Plan as may be established by the Committee on or prior to the
Granting Date for such Grant. In addition, the Board may approve a total
amount of Shares for grant and then specifically authorize the Committee
or senior management of the Company to make grants of the approved Shares
to Grantees.
|
4.2.
|
GRANTING
DATE. A Grant shall be deemed to have been made under this Plan on the
date (the "Granting Date") which the Committee designates as the Granting
Date at the time it approves such Grant, provided that the Committee may
not designate a Granting Date with respect to any Grant which is earlier
than the date on which the granting of such Grant is approved by the
Committee.
|
5.2
|
INCENTIVE
STOCK OPTIONS. It is the Company's intent that Non-qualified Stock Options
granted under the Plan not be classified as Incentive Stock Options, that
Incentive Stock Options be consistent with and contain or be deemed to
contain all provisions required under Section 422 of the Code and any
successor thereto, and that any ambiguities in construction be interpreted
in order to effectuate such intent. If an Incentive Stock Option granted
under the Plan does not qualify as such for any reason, then to the extent
of such non-qualification, the stock option represented thereby shall be
regarded as a Non-qualified Stock Option duly granted under the Plan,
provided that such stock option otherwise meets the Plan's requirements
for Non-qualified Stock Options.
|
5.3.
|
TERM
LIMITATION. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted under this Plan which
is exercisable more than ten years after its Granting Date. This Section
5.3 shall not be deemed to limit the term which the Committee may specify
for any Non-qualified Options granted under the
Plan.
|
5.4.
|
$200,000
PER YEAR LIMIT ON INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. No Grantee may be granted
Incentive Stock Options if the value of the Shares subject to those
options which first become exercisable in any given calendar year (and the
value of the Shares subject to any other Incentive Stock Options issued to
the Grantee under the Plan or any other plan of the Company or its
Subsidiaries which first become exercisable in such year) exceeds
$200,000. For this purpose, the value of Shares shall be determined on the
Granting Date. Any Incentive Stock Options issued in excess of the
$200,000 limit shall be treated as Non-qualified Options. Incentive Stock
Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were
granted.
|
6.1
|
RESTRICTED
STOCK TERMS WHICH THE COMMITTEE MAY DETERMINE. The Committee may at any
time and from time to time grant Shares of Restricted Stock under the Plan
to such Grantees and in such amounts as it determines. Each grant of
Restricted Stock shall specify the applicable restrictions on such Shares
(including, for example, time, performance, price and milestone based
vesting restrictions), the duration of such restrictions and the time or
times at which such restrictions shall lapse with respect to all or a
specified number of Shares that are part of the
grant.
|
6.2
|
REQUIRED
PAYMENT UPON GRANT. The Grantee will be required to pay the Company the
aggregate par value of any Shares of Restricted Stock within ten days of
the date of grant, unless such Shares of Restricted Stock are treasury
shares.
|
6.3
|
ESCROW
OF RESTRICTED STOCK AND STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. Unless otherwise determined by
the Committee, certificates representing Shares of Restricted Stock
granted under the Plan will be held in escrow by
the Company on the Grantee's behalf during any period of restriction
thereon and will bear an appropriate legend specifying the applicable
restrictions thereon, and the Grantee will be required to execute a blank
stock power therefore. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee,
during such period of restriction the Grantee shall have all of the rights
of a holder of Common Stock, including but not limited to the rights to
receive dividends and to vote, and any stock or other securities received
as a distribution with respect to such Grantee's Restricted Stock shall be
subject to the same restrictions as then in effect for the Restricted
Stock.
|
6.4
|
FORFEITURE.
Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, at such time as a Grantee
ceases to be a director, officer or employee of, or otherwise performing
services for, the Company or its Subsidiaries for any other reason, all
Shares of Restricted Stock granted to such participant on which the
restrictions have not lapsed shall be immediately forfeited to the
Company.
|
7.1.
|
AGREEMENT.
No Grantee shall have any rights under any Grant unless and until the
Company and the Grantee have executed and delivered an agreement expressly
making the Grant to such Grantee and containing provisions setting forth
the terms of the Grant (either an "Option Agreement" or a "Restricted
Stock Agreement", as the case may be). Unless otherwise provided by the
Committee, the form of Stock Option Agreement, attached to this Plan as
Exhibit A, or the form of Restricted Stock Agreement, attached to this
Plan as Exhibit B, shall be used by the Committee in making Grants under
the Plan.
|
7.2.
|
LIMITATION
ON SHARES ISSUABLE TO ANY GRANTEE. The aggregate number of Shares that may
relate to Options made to a Grantee during any calendar year (including
those Options already exercised by the Grantee) shall not exceed 300,000
shares, as adjusted pursuant to Article 10 of this
Plan.
|
7.3.
|
PLAN
PROVISIONS CONTROL TERMS. The terms of this Plan shall govern all Grants.
In the event any provision of any Option Agreement or Restricted Stock
Agreement conflicts with any term in this Plan as constituted on the
Granting Date of such Grant, the term in this Plan as constituted on the
Granting Date of the Grant shall control. Except as provided in Article
10, the terms of any Grant may not be changed after the Granting Date of
such Grant without the express approval of the Company and the
Grantee.
|
7.4.
|
TRANSFER
OF GRANTS. A Grant made pursuant to this Plan may be transferable as
provided in the Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement, as
applicable. It shall be a condition precedent to any transfer of any Grant
that the transferee executes and delivers an agreement acknowledging that
such Grant has been acquired for investment and not for distribution and
is and shall remain subject to this Plan and the applicable Option
Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement. The "Grantee" of any Grant shall
mean (i) the initial grantee of such Grant or (ii) any permitted
transferee.
|
7.5.
|
NO
RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT CONFERRED. Nothing in this Plan or (in the absence of
an express provision to the contrary) in any Option Agreement or
Restricted Stock Agreement (i) confers any right or obligation on any
person to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or (ii)
affects or shall affect in any way any person's right or the right of the
Company or any Subsidiary to terminate such person's employment with the
Company or any Subsidiary at any time, for any reason, with or without
cause.
|
8.1.
|
TAXES.
The Company or any Subsidiary shall be entitled, if the Committee deems it
necessary or desirable, to withhold from a Grantee's salary or other
compensation (or to secure payment from the Grantee in lieu of
withholding) all or any portion of any withholding or other tax due from
the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to any Shares deliverable under
such Grantee's Grant.
|
8.2.
|
SECURITIES
LAW COMPLIANCE. Each Grant shall be subject to the condition that an
Option may not be exercised and the restrictions on Shares Restricted
Stock may not lapse if and to the extent the Committee determines that the
sale of securities upon exercise of the Option or lapse of the
restrictions may violate the Securities Act or any other law or
requirement of any governmental authority. The Company shall not be deemed
by any reason of the making of any Grant to have any obligation to
register the Shares subject to such Grant under the Securities Act or to
maintain in effect any registration of such Shares which may be made at
any time under the Securities Act. An Option shall not be exercisable and
the restrictions shall not lapse if the Committee or the Board determines
there is non-public information material to the decision of the Grantee to
exercise such Option or trade such Restricted Stock which the Company
cannot for any reason communicate to such
Grantee.
|
11.1.
|
AMENDMENT.
Except as provided in the following two sentences, the Board shall have
complete power and authority to amend this Plan at any time, and no
approval by the Company's stockholders or by any other person, committee
or other entity of any kind shall be required to make any amendment
approved by the Board effective. The Board shall not, without the
affirmative approval of the Company's stockholders, amend the Plan in any
manner which would cause any outstanding Incentive Stock Options to no
longer qualify as Incentive Stock Options. No termination or amendment of
this Plan may, without the consent of the Grantee prior to termination or
the adoption of such amendment, materially and adversely affect the rights
of such Grantee under such Grant.
|
11.2.
|
TERMINATION.
The Board shall have the right and the power to terminate this Plan at any
time, provided that no Incentive Stock Options may be granted after the
tenth anniversary of the adoption of this Plan. No Grant shall be made
under this Plan after the termination of this Plan, but the termination of
this Plan shall not have any other effect. Any Option outstanding at the
time of the termination of this Plan may be exercised, and the
restrictions on any Restricted Stock may lapse, after termination of this
Plan at any time prior to the Expiration Date of such Grant to the same
extent such Option would have been exercisable
and such restriction would have lapsed had this Plan not terminated.
|
12.1.
|
DEFINITIONS.
Each term defined in this Section 12.1 has the meaning indicated in this
Section 12.1 whenever such term is used in this
Plan:
|
12.2.
|
HEADINGS.
Section headings used in this Plan are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of this Plan and shall not be deemed to limit,
characterize or affect in any way any provisions of this Plan. All
provisions in this Plan shall be construed as if no headings had been used
in this Plan.
|
12.4.
|
NO
STRICT CONSTRUCTION. No rule of strict construction shall be applied
against the Company, the Committee or any other person in the
interpretation of any of the terms of this Plan, any Grant or any rule or
procedure established by the
Committee.
|
12.5.
|
CHOICE
OF LAW. This Plan and all documents contemplated hereby, and all remedies
in connection therewith and all questions or transactions relating
thereto, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the
internal laws of the State of
Nevada.
|
12.6.
|
TAX
CONSEQUENCES. Tax consequences from the purchase and sale of Shares may
differ among Grantees under the Plan. Each Grantee should discuss specific
tax questions regarding participation in the Plan with his or her own tax
advisor.
