(7)             The registration fee is offset by an aggregate of $85.24 previously paid by the registrant with respect to 42,061 shares of Common Stock subject to Assumed Options under the 2008 Integral Plan and 5,736 Assumed Options under the 2002 Integral Plan (each of which may, under certain circumstances, become issuable under the 2008 Integral Plan pursuant to the terms thereof), pursuant to the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-177494) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 24, 2011.

 

 

 


 


 

INTRODUCTORY NOTES

 

On March 30, 2011, the Registrant completed the previously announced merger (the “Herley Merger”) of Lanza Acquisition Co., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, with and into Herley, whereby Herley became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant.

 

On July 27, 2011, the Registrant completed the previously announced merger (the “Integral Merger”) of IRIS Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, with and into Integral, whereby Integral became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant.  Upon the completion of the Integral Merger, each option to purchase Integral common stock that was outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to such time, and was not cancelled in exchange for cash at the effective time of the Integral Merger per the written instructions of the holder thereof, was assumed by the Registrant and converted into and became an option to purchase Common Stock, adjusted based on the exchange ratio set forth in the Integral Agreement. The Assumed Options are subject to the terms (as in effect as of the date of the Integral Agreement) of the applicable Integral Plan and the option agreement pursuant to which such Assumed Options were granted.

 

On February 20, 2012, the Registrant’s board of directors confirmed (i) the assumption of the 2010 Herley Plan and 2008 Integral Plan, in each case in accordance with NASDAQ Rule 5635, which provides that shares available under certain plans acquired in mergers and other acquisitions may be used for certain post-transaction grants without further stockholder approval and (ii) amendments to the 2008 Integral Plan and the 2010 Herley Plan, in order to permit the future grant of awards, including restricted stock unit awards, by the Registrant pursuant to such plans.  Accordingly, this Registration Statement registers (a) an aggregate of 503,704 shares of Common Stock that may be issued and sold pursuant to awards granted under the 2010 Herley Plan, which number represents the number of shares available for issuance under the 2010 Herley Plan as of the completion of the Herley Merger, adjusted based on the exchange ratio used in connection with the Herley Merger, (b) up to an additional 1,031,538 shares of Common Stock, comprised of (1) 47,797 shares of Common Stock which are currently subject to outstanding Assumed Options, but which may, under certain circumstances, become issuable under the 2008 Integral Plan pursuant to the terms thereof and (2) 983,741 shares of Common Stock that may be issued and sold pursuant to awards granted under the 2008 Integral Plan, which number represents the number of shares available for issuance under the 2008 Integral Plan as of the completion of the Integral Merger, adjusted based on the exchange ratio used in connection with the Integral Merger, and (c) the Purchase Rights related to the shares referenced in clauses (a) and (b).

All reports and other documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and are a part hereof from the date of filing of such reports and other documents, except as to any portion of any such report or other document furnished under current Items 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K that is not deemed filed under such provisions.  Any statement contained in a report or other document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed report or other document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

 

Item 4.        Description of Securities.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5.        Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 6.        Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award or a corporation’s board of directors to grant indemnification to directors and officers on terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.  The Registrant’s second amended and restated bylaws provide for indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.  The Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the liability of its directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.  The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors and it maintains directors and officers liability insurance.

 

Item 7.        Exemption From Registration Claimed.

 

Not applicable.

Item 9.        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;

 

(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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement;

 

(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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if this Registration Statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

 

(2)           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities 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.

 

(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 offering.

 

(b)          The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in 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.

 

(h)          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of the 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

HERLEY INDUSTRIES, INC.

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2010 STOCK PLAN

Amended and Restated as of February 20, 2012

 

I. GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

A. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

 

This 2010 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) is intended to promote the interests of KRATOS DEFENSE & SECURITY SOLUTIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Corporation”), by providing Eligible Persons (as defined in Section I(D) below) with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an incentive for them to continue in such employ or service.

 

Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meaning assigned to them in the attached Appendix.

 

B. STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN

 

The Plan shall be divided into two (2) separate equity programs:

 

(i) the Option Grant Program under which Eligible Persons may, at the discretion of the Board, be granted options to purchase Shares of Common Stock, thereby becoming Optionees.

 

(ii) the Stock Issuance and Restricted Stock Unit Program under which Eligible Persons may, at the discretion of the Board, be issued shares of common stock directly, through the immediate purchase of such shares, as a bonus for services rendered to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary), or the grant and vesting of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), thereby becoming Participants.

 

The provisions of Articles One and Four shall apply to both equity programs under the Plan and shall accordingly govern the interests of all persons under the Plan.

 

C. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

 

The Plan shall be administered by the Corporation’s Board of Directors (“Board”), or in the discretion of the Board, a committee consisting of no less than two Non-Employee Directors or persons meeting such other requirements as may be imposed by Rule 16(b) under the 1934 Act (“Committee”).

 

The Board or Committee shall have full power and authority (subject to the provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for proper administration of the Plan and to make such determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the Plan and any outstanding options or stock issuances thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions of the Board shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan or any option or stock issuance thereunder.

 



 

D. ELIGIBILITY

 

The persons eligible to participate in the Plan (“Eligible Persons”) are:

 

1. Officers, directors, employees and consultants; and

 

2. Consultants and other independent advisors who provide services to the Corporation, or any parent or subsidiary of the Corporation.

 

Awards or Grants may be granted after March 30, 2011 to individuals who were not employed by the Corporation, or its subsidiaries, on March 30, 2011.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, individuals who were employed by Herley Industries, Inc. on March 30, 2011 may also be granted Awards or Grants under the Plan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following limitations shall apply:

 

1. Incentive Options may only be granted to Employees other than the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and directors.

 

2. Nothing in this Plan, as amended extends the time during which Shares of Common Stock are available for Awards or Grants beyond the period when they would have been available under the Plan as it existed on the date prior to March 30, 2011.

 

3. To the extent required by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 and IM-5635-1, Awards or Grants after March 30, 2011 may not be granted to individuals who were employed by or providing services to the Corporation, or its subsidiaries, on March 30, 2011.

 

The Board or Committee shall have full authority to determine, (i) with respect to the grants made under the Option Grant Program, described in Article Two below, which Eligible Persons are to receive the option grants, the time or times when those grants are to be made, the number of shares to be covered by each such grant, the status of the granted option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Qualified Option, the time or times when each option is to become exercisable, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the option shares and the maximum term for which the option is to remain outstanding, and (ii) with respect to stock issuances or RSU Awards made under the Stock Issuance and Restricted Stock Unit Program, described in Article Three, which Eligible Persons are to receive such stock issuances or RSU Awards, the time or times when those issuances or RSU Awards are to be made, the number of shares or RSU Awards to be issued to each Participant, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the issued shares or awarded RSUs and the consideration to be paid by the Participant for such shares or RSUs.

 



 

The Board or Committee shall have the absolute discretion either to grant options in accordance with the Option Grant Program, to issue stock in accordance with the Stock Issuance Program, or to award RSUs in accordance with the Restricted Stock Unit Program.

 

E. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

 

The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of the Corporation’s authorized but unissued or reacquired common stock.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no more than 503,704 shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Plan after March 30, 2011, adjusted as described below.

 

Shares of common stock subject to outstanding options shall be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent (i) the options expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full, or (ii) the options are cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant provisions of Article Two.  Unvested shares issued under the Plan and subsequently repurchased by the Corporation, at the option exercise or direct issue price paid per share, pursuant to the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Plan shall be added back to the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan.  Shares of common stock subject to outstanding RSU Awards shall be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent that the shares are subject to Awards that (i) have been terminated, expired unexercised, forfeited or settled in cash; (ii) have been retained by the Corporation in payment or satisfaction of the exercise price, purchase price or tax withholding obligation of an Award; or (iii) otherwise do not result in the issuance of Shares of Common Stock in connection with payment or settlement of an award.

 

If there is any change to the common stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding common stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, then appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan, and (ii) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding option or Award in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits thereunder.

 

II. OPTION GRANT PROGRAM

 

A. OPTION TERMS

 

Each option shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the form approved by the Board, and which shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan.

 

1. Exercise Price.

(i) The exercise price per share shall not be less than the Fair Market Value per share of common stock on the option grant date.

 

(ii) If the Optionee is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of common stock on the option grant date for Incentive Options.

 

b. The exercise price is payable in cash or check made payable to the Corporation upon exercise of the option, subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Four and the documents evidencing the option.  If the common stock is registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“34 Act”) at the time the option is exercised, then the exercise price may also be paid as follows:

 

(i) in shares of common stock held for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, or

 

(ii) to the extent the option is exercised for vested shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (x) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (y) to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale.

 

Except to the extent the foregoing sale and remittance procedure is used, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date.

 

2. Exercise and Term of Options.  Each option shall be exercisable at such time or times, during such period and for such number of shares as shall be determined by the Board or Committee and set forth in the documents evidencing the option grant.  However, no option shall have a term in excess of five (5) years measured from the option grant date.

 

3. Effect of Termination of Service.

 



 

a. The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any vested option held by the Optionee at the time of cessation of Optionee’s employment or rendering of services to the Corporation (collectively “Service”) or death:

 

(i) Should the Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason other than death, Disability or Misconduct, then the Optionee shall have a period of three (3) months following the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise each option held by such Optionee to the extent exercisable on the date of such termination.

 

(ii) Should Optionee’s Service terminate by reason of Disability, then the Optionee shall have a period of twelve (12) months following the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise each outstanding option held by such Optionee to the extent exercisable on the date of such termination.

 

(iii) If the Optionee dies while holding an outstanding option, then the personal representative of his or her estate or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance shall have a twelve (12)-month period following the date of the Optionee’s death to exercise such option to the extent exercisable on the date of such termination.

 

(iv) Under no circumstances, however, shall any such option be exercisable after the specified expiration of the option term.

 

(v) All vested options shall terminate upon the expiration of the applicable exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term.

 

b. The Board or Committee shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to:

 

(i) extend the period of time for which the option is to remain exercisable following Optionee’s cessation of Service or death from the limited period otherwise in effect for that option to such greater period of time as it shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration of the option term, and/or

 

(ii) permit the option to be exercised, during the applicable post-Service exercise period, not only with respect to the number of vested shares of common stock for which such option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service

 



 

but also with respect to one or more additional installments in which the Optionee would have vested under the option had the Optionee continued in Service.

 

4. Stockholder Rights.  The holder of an option shall have no stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to the option until such person exercises the option, pays the exercise price and becomes the recordholder of the purchased shares.

 

5. Limited Transferability of Options. During the lifetime of the Optionee, the option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or, following the Optionee’s death, by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

B. CORPORATE TRANSACTION

 

1. All unvested options shall automatically vest in full if and when either of the following stockholder approved transactions to which the Corporation is a party are consummated: (i) a merger or consolidation in which securities possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the Corporation’s outstanding securities are transferred to a person or persons different from the persons holding those securities immediately prior to such transaction, or (ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets in complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation. However, the shares subject to an outstanding option shall not vest on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) such option is assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in the Corporate Transaction or (ii) such option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing on the unvested option shares at the time of the Corporate Transaction and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting schedule applicable to those unvested option shares or (iii) the acceleration of such option is subject to other limitations imposed by the Board or Committee at the time of the option grant.

 

2. Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction, had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to (i) the number and class of securities available for issuance under the Plan following the consummation of such Corporate Transaction and (ii) the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same.

 

3. The Board or Committee shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time the option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to structure one or more options so that those options shall automatically accelerate and vest in full (and any repurchase rights of the Corporation with respect to the unvested shares subject to those options shall immediately terminate) upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction, whether or not those options are to be assumed in the Corporate Transaction.

 



 

4. The Board or Committee shall also have full power and authority, exercisable either at the time the option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to structure such option so that the shares subject to that option will automatically vest on basis should the Optionee’s Service terminate by reason of the Optionee’s involuntary dismissal or discharge by the Corporation for reasons other than misconduct (“Involuntary Termination”) within a designated period (not to exceed one year) following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction in which the option is assumed and the repurchase rights applicable to those shares do not otherwise terminate.  Any option so accelerated shall remain exercisable for the fully-vested option shares until the expiration or sooner termination of the option term.

 

5. The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000.00) limitation is not exceeded.  To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the accelerated portion of such option shall be exercisable as a Non-Statutory Option under the Federal tax laws.

 

6. The grant of options under the Plan shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

 

III. STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM

 

A. STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS

 

Shares of common stock may be issued at the discretion of the Board or Committee under the Stock Issuance Program through direct and immediate issuances without any intervening option grants.  Each such stock issuance shall comply with the terms specified below.

 

1. Issuances.

 

Shares of common stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program for past or future services rendered, or to be rendered, to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary) as the Board may deem appropriate in each individual instance.

 

2. Vesting Provisions.

 

a. Shares of common stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program shall vest at the discretion of the Board or Committee.

 

b. The Participant shall have full stockholder rights with respect to any shares of common stock issued to the Participant under the Stock Issuance

 



 

Program. Accordingly, the Participant shall have the right to vote such shares and to receive any regular cash dividends paid on such shares.

 

B. RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARDS (RSU Awards)

 

1. Grant.

 

The Board may grant Restricted Stock Unit Awards (RSU Awards) to Eligible Persons, in all cases pursuant to Award Agreements setting forth terms and conditions that are not inconsistent with the Plan.  The Board shall establish as to each RSU Award the number of Shares deliverable or subject to the Award (which number may be determined by a written formula), and the period or periods of time (the “Restriction Period”) at the end of which all or some restrictions specified in the Award Agreement shall lapse, and the Participant shall receive Unrestricted Shares (or cash to the extent provided in the Award Agreement) in settlement of the Award. Such restrictions may include, without limitation, restrictions concerning voting rights and transferability, and such restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times and pursuant to such circumstances or based on such criteria as selected by the Board, including, without limitation, criteria based on the Participant’s duration of employment, directorship or consultancy with the Corporation, individual, group, or divisional performance criteria, corporation performance, or other criteria selection by the Board.  The Board may make RSU Awards with or without the requirement for payment of cash or other consideration.  In addition, the Board may grant Awards hereunder in the form of Unrestricted Shares which shall vest in full upon the Grant Date or such other date as the Board may determine or which the Board may issue pursuant to any program under which one or more Eligible Persons (selected by the Board in its sole discretion) elect to pay for such Shares or to receive Unrestricted Shares in lieu of cash bonuses that would otherwise be paid.

 

2. Vesting and Forfeiture.

 

The Board shall set forth, in an Award Agreement granting RSUs, the terms and conditions under which the Participant’s interest in the Shares subject to RSUs will become vested and non-forfeitable.  Except as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement or as the Board otherwise determines, upon termination of a Participant’s Continuous Service for any reason, the Participant shall forfeit his or her RSUs to the extent the Participant’s interest therein has not vested on or before such termination date; provided that if a Participant purchases Restricted Shares and forfeits them for any reason, the Corporation shall return the purchase price to the Participant to the extent either set forth in an Award Agreement or required by Applicable Laws.

 

3. Certificates for Restricted Shares.

 

Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, the Corporation shall hold certificates representing Restricted Shares and dividends (whether in Shares or cash) that accrue with respect to them until the restrictions lapse, and the Participant shall provide the Corporation with appropriate stock powers endorsed in blank.  The Participant’s failure to provide such stock

 



 

powers within ten days after a written request from the Corporation shall entitle the Board to unilaterally declare a forfeiture of all or some of the Participant’s Restricted Shares.

 

4. Issuance of Shares upon Vesting.

 

As soon as practicable after vesting of a Participant’s right to receive Shares underlying RSUs, the Corporation shall deliver to the Participant, free from vesting restrictions, one Share free of the vesting restriction for each vested RSU, unless an Award Agreement provides otherwise and subject to Section IV(D) regarding withholding of taxes.  No fractional Shares shall be distributed, and cash shall be paid in lieu thereof.

 

IV. MISCELLANEOUS

 

A. ADJUSTMENTS DUE TO STOCK SPLITS, MERGERS, CONSOLIDATION, ETC.

 

If, at any time, the Corporation shall take any action, whether by stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares or otherwise, which results in a proportionate increase or decrease in the number of shares of common stock theretofore issued and outstanding, the number of shares which are reserved for issuance under the Plan and the number of shares which, at such time, are subject to options, issuances or RSU Awards shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Board or Committee, be increased or decreased in the same proportion, provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue fractional shares.

 

Likewise, in the event of any change in the outstanding shares of common stock by reason of any recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares or other corporate change, the Board or Committee shall make such substitution or adjustments, if any, as it deems to be appropriate, as to the number or kind of shares of common stock or other securities which are reserved for issuance under the Plan and the number of shares or other securities which, at such time are subject to Options, issuances or RSU Awards.

 

B. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN

 

1. The Plan shall become effective on March 23, 2010, provided that no Incentive Options may be granted unless the Plan is first approved by Herley’s stockholders.  The Board may grant options, issue shares and grant awards under the Plan at any time after the effective date of the Plan and before the date fixed herein for termination of the Plan.

 

2. The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year period measured from the date the Plan is adopted by the Board, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have been issued as vested shares or (iii) the termination of all outstanding options, issuances or RSU Awards in connection with a Corporate Transaction.  All options, unvested stock issuances and unvested RSU Awards outstanding at the time of a clause (i) termination event shall continue to have full force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the documents evidencing those options, issuances or RSU Awards.

 



 

C. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

 

The Board or Committee shall have complete and exclusive power and authority to amend or modify the Plan in any or all respects, except for those persons ineligible to participate.  However, no such amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations with respect to options, unvested stock issuances or unvested RSU Awards at the time outstanding under the Plan unless the Optionee or the Participant consents to such amendment or modification.  In addition, certain amendments may require stockholder approval pursuant to Applicable Laws.

 

D. WITHHOLDING

 

The Corporation’s obligation to deliver shares of common stock upon the exercise of any options, upon the issuance of shares issued under the Plan or upon the vesting of RSUs awarded under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements.

 

E. REGULATORY APPROVALS

 

The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any options under the Plan, the issuance of any shares of common stock (i) upon the exercise of any option or (ii) under the Stock Issuance and Restricted Stock Unit Program shall be subject to the Corporation’s obtaining all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the options granted under it, the shares of common stock issued pursuant to it, and the RSUs awarded under it.

 

F. NO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE RIGHTS

 

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

5.              Common Shares Subject to the Plan and to Awards

 

(a)          Aggregate Limits.  The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Shares.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for Awards granted after July 27, 2011, the

 



 

Company may issue under the Plan no more than 983,741 Common Shares, plus (i) any Common Shares that were authorized for issuance under the Prior Plan that, as of the Effective Date, remain available for issuance under the Prior Plan (not including any Common Shares that are subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plan or any Common Shares that were issued pursuant to awards granted under the Prior Plan) and (ii) any Common Shares subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plan that on or after the Effective Date cease for any reason to be subject to such awards (other than by reason of exercise or settlement of the awards to the extent they are exercised for or settled in vested and nonforfeitable shares).  The aggregate number of Common Shares available for grant under this Plan and the number of Common Shares subject to outstanding Awards shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11.  The Common Shares issued pursuant to Awards granted under this Plan may be shares that are authorized and unissued or shares that were reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased in the open market.

(b)         Issuance of Common Shares. For purposes of this Section 5, the aggregate number of Common Shares available for Awards under this Plan at any time shall not be reduced by (i) shares subject to Awards that have been terminated, expired unexercised, forfeited or settled in cash, (ii) shares subject to Awards that have been retained by the Company in payment or satisfaction of the exercise price, purchase price or tax withholding obligation of an Award, or (iii) shares subject to Awards that otherwise do not result in the issuance of Common Shares in connection with payment or settlement of an Award. In addition, Common Shares that have been delivered (either actually or by attestation) to the Company in payment or satisfaction of the exercise price, purchase price or tax withholding obligation of an Award shall be available for Awards under this Plan.

(c)          Tax Code Limits. The aggregate number of Common Shares subject to Awards granted under this Plan during any calendar year to any one Participant shall not exceed 500,000, which number shall be calculated and adjusted pursuant to Section 11 only to the extent that such calculation or adjustment will not affect the status of any Award intended to qualify as “performance based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code but which number shall not count any tandem SARs (as defined in Section 7). The aggregate number of Common Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan shall not exceed 900,000, which number shall be calculated and adjusted pursuant to Section 11 only to the extent that such calculation or adjustment will not affect the status of any option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code.

(d)         Substitute Awards. Substitute Awards shall not reduce the Common Shares authorized for issuance under the Plan or authorized for grant to a Participant in any calendar year. Additionally, in the event that a corporation acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary, or with which the Company or any Subsidiary combines, has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or

 



 

formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Common Shares authorized for issuance under the Plan; provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employees, directors or consultants of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately before such acquisition or combination.

 

6.              Options

 

(a)          Option Awards. Options may be granted at any time and from time to time prior to the termination of the Plan to Participants as determined by the Committee. No Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Common Shares subject to Option hereunder until said Common Shares have been issued, except that the Committee may authorize dividend equivalent accruals with respect to such Common Shares. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Options granted pursuant to the Plan need not be identical but each Option must contain and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.

(b)         Price. The Committee will establish the exercise price per Common Share under each Option, which, in no event will be less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares on the date of grant; provided, however, that the exercise price per Common Share with respect to an Option that is granted in connection with a merger or other acquisition as a substitute or replacement award for options held by optionees of the acquired entity may be less than 100% of the market price of the Common Shares on the date such Option is granted if such exercise price is based on a formula set forth in the terms of the options held by such optionees or in the terms of the agreement providing for such merger or other acquisition. The exercise price of any Option may be paid in Common Shares, cash or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee, including an irrevocable commitment by a broker to pay over such amount from a sale of the Common Shares issuable under an Option, the delivery of previously owned Common Shares and withholding of Common Shares deliverable upon exercise.

(c)          No Repricing. Other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization (as described in Section 11) the exercise price of an Option may not be reduced without stockholder approval (including canceling previously awarded Options and regranting them with a lower exercise price).

(d)         Provisions Applicable to Options. The date on which Options become exercisable shall be determined at the sole discretion of the Committee and set forth in an Award Agreement. Unless provided otherwise in the applicable Award Agreement, to the extent that the Committee determines that an approved leave of absence or employment on a less than full-time basis is not a termination of employment or other service, the vesting period and/or exercisability of an Option shall be adjusted by the Committee during or to reflect the effects of any period during which the Participant is on an approved leave of absence or is employed on a less than full-

 



 

time basis.

(e)          Term of Options and Termination of Employment. The Committee shall establish the term of each Option, which in no case shall exceed a period of ten (10) years from the date of grant. Unless an Option earlier expires upon the expiration date established pursuant to the foregoing sentence or upon the termination of the Participant’s employment or other service, his or her rights to exercise an Option then held shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in an Award Agreement.

(f)            Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, in the case of the grant of an Option intending to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option: (i) if the Participant owns stock possessing more than 10 percent of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (a “10% Common Shareholder”), the exercise price of such Option must be at least 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares on the date of grant and the Option must expire within a period of not more than five (5) years from the date of grant, and (ii) termination of employment will occur when the person to whom an Award was granted ceases to be an employee (as determined in accordance with Section 3401(c) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, options designated as Incentive Stock Options shall not be eligible for treatment under the Code as Incentive Stock Options (and will be deemed to be Nonqualified Stock Options) to the extent that either (a) the aggregate Fair Market Value of Common Shares (determined as of the time of grant) with respect to which such Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted, or (b) such Options otherwise remain exercisable but are not exercised within three (3) months of termination of employment (or such other period of time provided in Section 422 of the Code).

 

7.              Stock Appreciation Rights

 

Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Participants from time to time either in tandem with or as a component of other Awards granted under the Plan (“tandem SARs”) or not in conjunction with other Awards (“freestanding SARs”) and may, but need not, relate to a specific Option granted under Section 6. The provisions of Stock Appreciation Rights need not be the same with respect to each grant or each recipient. Any Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Award may be granted at the same time such Award is granted or at any time thereafter before exercise or expiration of such Award. All freestanding SARs shall be granted subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to Options as set forth in Section 6 and all tandem SARs shall have the same exercise price, vesting, exercisability, forfeiture and termination provisions as the Award to which they relate. Subject to the provisions of Section 6 and the immediately preceding sentence, the Committee may impose such other conditions or restrictions on any Stock Appreciation Right as it shall deem appropriate. Stock Appreciation Rights may be settled in Common Shares, cash or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. Other than in connection with a

 



 

change in the Company’s capitalization (as described in Section 11), the exercise price of Stock Appreciation Rights may not be reduced without stockholder approval (including canceling previously awarded Stock Appreciation Rights and regranting them with a lower exercise price).

 

8.              Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

 

(a)          Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any time and from time to time prior to the termination of the Plan to Participants as determined by the Committee. Restricted Stock is an award or issuance of Common Shares the grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or transferability of which is subject during specified periods of time to such conditions (including continued employment/service or performance conditions) and terms as the Committee deems appropriate. Restricted Stock Units are Awards denominated in units of Common Shares under which the issuance of Common Shares is subject to such conditions (including continued employment/service or performance conditions) and terms as the Committee deems appropriate. Each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee, each Restricted Stock Unit will be equal to one Common Share and will entitle a Participant to either the issuance of Common Shares or payment of an amount of cash determined with reference to the value of Common Shares. To the extent determined by the Committee, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may be satisfied or settled in Common Shares, cash or a combination thereof. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Plan need not be identical but each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units must contain and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.

(b)         Contents of Agreement. Each Award Agreement shall contain provisions regarding (i) the number of Common Shares or Restricted Stock Units subject to such Award or a formula for determining such number, (ii) the purchase price of the Common Shares, if any, and the means of payment, (iii) the performance criteria, if any, and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall determine the number of Common Shares or Restricted Stock Units granted, issued, retainable and/or vested, (iv) such terms and conditions on the grant, issuance, vesting and/or forfeiture of the Common Shares or Restricted Stock Units as may be determined from time to time by the Committee, (v) the term of the performance period, if any, as to which performance will be measured for determining the number of such Common Shares or Restricted Stock Units, and (vi) restrictions on the transferability of the Common Shares or Restricted Stock Units. Common Shares issued under a Restricted Stock Award may be issued in the name of the Participant and held by the Participant or held by the Company, in each case as the Committee may provide.

(c)          Vesting and Performance Criteria. The grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or settlement of shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will occur when and in such installments as the Committee determines or under criteria the Committee establishes, which may include Qualifying Performance Criteria. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the performance criteria for any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the

 



 

Code will be a measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected by the Committee and specified when the Award is granted.

(d)         Discretionary Adjustments and Limits. Subject to the limits imposed under Section 162(m) of the Code for Awards that are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation,” notwithstanding the satisfaction of any performance goals, the number of Common Shares granted, issued, retainable and/or vested under an Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units on account of either financial performance or personal performance evaluations may, to the extent specified in the Award Agreement, be reduced by the Committee on the basis of such further considerations as the Committee shall determine.

(e)          Voting Rights. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Participants holding shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those shares during the period of restriction. Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to Common Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units unless and until such Common Shares are reflected as issued and outstanding shares on the Company’s stock ledger.

(f)            Dividends and Distributions. Participants in whose name Restricted Stock is granted shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to those Common Shares, unless determined otherwise by the Committee. The Committee will determine whether any such dividends or distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of Restricted Stock and subject to the same restrictions on transferability as the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were distributed or whether such dividends or distributions will be paid in cash. Common Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units shall be entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents only to the extent provided by the Committee.

 

9.              Deferral of Gains

 

The Committee may, in an Award Agreement or otherwise, provide for the deferred delivery of Common Shares upon settlement, vesting or other events with respect to Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will any deferral of the delivery of Common Shares or any other payment with respect to any Award be allowed if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the deferral would result in the imposition of the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code.

 

10.       Conditions and Restrictions Upon Securities Subject to Awards

 

The Committee may provide that the Common Shares issued upon exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or otherwise subject to or issued under an Award shall be subject to such further agreements, restrictions, conditions or limitations as the Committee in its discretion may specify prior to the exercise of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right or the grant, vesting or settlement of such Award, including without limitation, conditions on vesting or transferability, forfeiture or repurchase provisions and method of payment for the Common Shares issued upon exercise, vesting or settlement of such Award (including the actual or constructive surrender of Common Shares already owned by the Participant) or payment of taxes arising in connection with an Award. Without limiting the foregoing, such restrictions may address the timing and manner of any resales by the Participant or other subsequent transfers by

 



 

the Participant of any Common Shares issued under an Award, including without limitation (i) restrictions under an insider trading policy or pursuant to applicable law, (ii) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the Participant and holders of other Company equity compensation arrangements, (iii) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers, and (iv) provisions requiring Common Shares to be sold on the open market or to the Company in order to satisfy tax withholding or other obligations.

 

11.       Adjustment of and Changes in the Stock

 

The number and kind of Common Shares available for issuance under this Plan (including under any Awards then outstanding), and the number and kind of Common Shares subject to the limits set forth in Section 5 of this Plan, shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee to reflect any reorganization, reclassification, combination of shares, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, dividend or distribution of securities, property or cash (other than regular, quarterly cash dividends), or any other event or transaction that affects the number or kind of Common Shares of the Company outstanding. Such adjustment may be designed to comply with Section 425 of the Code or, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5(c) of this Plan, may be designed to treat the Common Shares available under the Plan and subject to Awards as if they were all outstanding on the record date for such event or transaction or to increase the number of such Common Shares to reflect a deemed reinvestment in Common Shares of the amount distributed to the Company’s securityholders. The terms of any outstanding Award shall also be equitably adjusted by the Committee as to price, number or kind of Common Shares subject to such Award, vesting, and other terms to reflect the foregoing events, which adjustments need not be uniform as between different Awards or different types of Awards.

 

In the event there shall be any other change in the number or kind of outstanding Common Shares, or any stock or other securities into which such Common Shares shall have been changed, or for which it shall have been exchanged, by reason of a change of control, other merger, consolidation or otherwise, then the Committee shall determine the appropriate and equitable adjustment to be effected. In addition, in the event of such change described in this paragraph, the Committee may accelerate the time or times at which any Award may be exercised and may provide for cancellation of such accelerated Awards that are not exercised within a time prescribed by the Committee in its sole discretion.

 

No right to purchase fractional shares shall result from any adjustment in Awards pursuant to this Section 11. In case of any such adjustment, the Common Shares subject to the Award shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. The Company shall notify Participants holding Awards subject to any adjustments pursuant to this Section 11 of such adjustment, but (whether or not notice is given) such adjustment shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

 

12.       Qualifying Performance-Based Compensation

 

(a)          General. The Committee may establish performance criteria and level of achievement versus such criteria that shall determine the number of Common Shares, units, or cash to be granted, retained, vested, issued or issuable under or in settlement of or the amount payable pursuant to an Award, which criteria may be

 



 

based on Qualifying Performance Criteria or other standards of financial performance and/or personal performance evaluations. In addition, the Committee may specify that an Award or a portion of an Award is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, provided that the performance criteria for such Award or portion of an Award that is intended by the Committee to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be a measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected by the Committee and specified at the time the Award is granted. The Committee shall certify the extent to which any Qualifying Performance Criteria has been satisfied, and the amount payable as a result thereof, prior to payment, settlement or vesting of any Award that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. Notwithstanding satisfaction of any performance goals, the number of Common Shares issued under or the amount paid under an award may, to the extent specified in the Award Agreement, be reduced by the Committee on the basis of such further considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine.

(b)         Qualifying Performance Criteria. For purposes of this Plan, the term “Qualifying Performance Criteria” shall mean any one or more of the following performance criteria, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied to either the Company as a whole or to a business unit or Subsidiary, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and measured either annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to previous years’ results or to a designated comparison group, in each case as specified by the Committee: (i) cash flow (before or after dividends), (ii) earnings or earnings per share (including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), (iii) stock price, (iv) return on equity, (v) total stockholder return, (vi) return on capital or investment (including return on total capital, return on invested capital, or return on investment), (vii) return on assets or net assets, (viii) market capitalization, (ix) economic value added, (x) debt leverage (debt to capital), (xi) revenue, (xii) income or net income, (xiii) operating income, (xiv) operating profit or net operating profit, (xv) operating margin or profit margin, (xvi) return on operating revenue, (xvii) cash from operations, (xviii) operating ratio, (xix) operating revenue, (xx) bookings, (xxi) backlog, or (xxii) customer service. To the extent consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee (A) shall appropriately adjust any evaluation of performance under a Qualifying Performance Criteria to eliminate the effects of charges for restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary items and all items of gain, loss or expense determined to be extraordinary or unusual in nature or related to the acquisition or disposal of a segment of a business or related to a change in accounting principle all as determined in accordance with standards established by opinion No. 30 of the Accounting Principles Board (APA Opinion No. 30) or other applicable or successor accounting provisions, as well as the cumulative effect of accounting changes, in each case as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or identified in the Company’s financial statements or notes to the financial statements, and (B) may appropriately adjust any evaluation

 



 

of performance under a Qualifying Performance Criteria to exclude any of the following events that occurs during a performance period: (i) asset write-downs, (ii) litigation, claims, judgments or settlements, (iii) the effect of changes in tax law or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (iv) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs and (v) accruals of any amounts for payment under this Plan or any other compensation arrangement maintained by the Company.

 

13.       Transferability

 

Unless the Committee provides otherwise, each Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and each Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable only by the Participant during his or her lifetime.

 

14.       Compliance with Laws and Regulations

 

This Plan, the grant, issuance, vesting, exercise and settlement of Awards thereunder, and the obligation of the Company to sell, issue or deliver Common Shares under such Awards, shall be subject to all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, stock exchange rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. The Company shall not be required to register in a Participant’s name or deliver any Common Shares prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of such shares under any foreign, federal, state or local law or any ruling or regulation of any government body which the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable. To the extent the Company is unable to or the Committee deems it infeasible to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Shares hereunder, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be relieved of any liability with respect to the failure to issue or sell such Common Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. No Option shall be exercisable and no Common Shares shall be issued and/or transferable under any other Award unless a registration statement with respect to the Common Shares underlying such Option is effective and current or the Company has determined that such registration is unnecessary.

 

15.       Withholding

 

To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, a Participant shall be required to satisfy, in a manner satisfactory to the Company, any withholding tax obligations that arise by reason of an Option exercise, disposition of Common Shares issued under an Incentive Stock Option, the vesting of or settlement of an Award, an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code or otherwise with respect to an Award. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to issue Common Shares, make any payment or to recognize the transfer or disposition of Common Shares until such obligations are satisfied. The Committee may provide for or permit the minimum statutory withholding obligations to be satisfied through the mandatory or elective sale of Common Shares and/or by having the Company withhold a portion of the Common Shares that otherwise would be issued to a Participant upon exercise of

 



 

the Option or the vesting or settlement of an Award, or by tendering Common Shares previously acquired.

 

16.       Administration of the Plan

 

(a)          Committee of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee which shall be the Compensation Committee of the Board or, in the absence of a Compensation Committee, a properly constituted Compensation Committee or the Board itself. Any power of the Committee may also be exercised by the Board, except to the extent that the grant or exercise of such authority would cause any Award or transaction to become subject to (or lose an exemption under) the short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or cause an Award designated as a Performance Award not to qualify for treatment as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. To the extent that any permitted action taken by the Board conflicts with action taken by the Committee, the Board action shall control. The Committee may by resolution authorize one or more officers of the Company to perform any or all things that the Committee is authorized and empowered to do or perform under the Plan, and for all purposes under this Plan, such officer or officers shall be treated as the Committee; provided, however, that the resolution so authorizing such officer or officers shall specify the total number of Awards (if any) such officer or officers may award pursuant to such delegated authority, and any such Award shall be subject to the form of Award Agreement theretofore approved by the Committee. No such officer shall designate himself or herself as a recipient of any Awards granted under authority delegated to such officer. In addition, the Committee may delegate any or all aspects of the day-to-day administration of the Plan to one or more officers or employees of the Company or any Subsidiary, and/or to one or more agents.

(b)         Powers of Committee. Subject to the express provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall be authorized and empowered to do all things that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the administration of this Plan, including, without limitation: (i) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan and to define terms not otherwise defined herein; (ii) to determine which persons are Participants, to which of such Participants, if any, Awards shall be granted hereunder and the timing of any such Awards; (iii) to grant Awards to Participants and determine the terms and conditions thereof, including the number of Common Shares subject to Awards and the exercise or purchase price of such Common Shares and the circumstances under which Awards become exercisable or vested or are forfeited or expire, which terms may but need not be conditioned upon the passage of time, continued employment or other service, the satisfaction of performance criteria, the occurrence of certain events (including events which constitute a change of control), or other factors; (iv) to establish and verify the extent of satisfaction of any performance goals or other conditions applicable to the grant, issuance, exercisability, vesting and/or ability to retain any Award; (v) to prescribe and amend the terms of the agreements or other documents evidencing Awards made under this Plan (which need not be identical) and the terms of or form of any document or notice required to be delivered to the Company

 



 

by Participants under this Plan; (vi) to determine the extent to which adjustments are required pursuant to Section 11; (vii) to interpret and construe this Plan, any rules and regulations under this Plan and the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder, and to make exceptions to any such provisions in good faith and for the benefit of the Company; and (viii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan.

 

(c)          Determinations by the Committee. All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Committee regarding the Plan, any rules and regulations under the Plan and the terms and conditions of or operation of any Award granted hereunder, shall be final and binding on all Participants, beneficiaries, heirs, assigns or other persons holding or claiming rights under the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall consider such factors as it deems relevant, in its sole and absolute discretion, to making such decisions, determinations and interpretations including, without limitation, the recommendations or advice of any officer or other employee of the Company and such attorneys, consultants and accountants as it may select.

 

17.       Amendment of the Plan or Awards

 

The Board may amend, alter or discontinue this Plan and the Committee may amend, or alter any agreement or other document evidencing an Award made under this Plan but, except as specifically provided for hereunder, no such amendment shall, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company (a) reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, (b) reduce the price at which Options may be granted below the price provided for in Section 6 or (c) otherwise amend the Plan in any manner requiring stockholder approval by law or under applicable listing requirements. No amendment or alteration to the Plan or an Award or Award Agreement shall be made which would impair the rights of the holder of an Award, without such holder’s consent, provided that no such consent shall be required if the Committee determines in its sole discretion and prior to the date of any change of control that such amendment or alteration either is required or advisable in order for the Company, the Plan or the Award to satisfy any law or regulation or to meet the requirements of or avoid adverse financial accounting consequences under any accounting standard.

 

18.       Miscellaneous

 

(a)          No Liability of Company. The Company and any Subsidiary or affiliate which is in existence or hereafter comes into existence shall not be liable to a Participant or any other person as to: (i) the non-issuance or sale of Common Shares as to which the Company has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Shares hereunder; and (ii) any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any Participant or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Award granted hereunder.

(b)         Non-Exclusivity of Plan. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of this Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including without limitation, the granting of restricted stock or stock options otherwise than under this Plan or an arrangement not intended to qualify under Code Section 

 



 

162(m), and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

(c)          Governing Law. This Plan and any agreements or other documents hereunder shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of Maryland and applicable federal law.

(d)         No Right to Employment, Reelection or Continued Service. Nothing in this Plan or an Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its affiliates to terminate any Participant’s employment, service on the Board or service for the Company at any time or for any reason not prohibited by law, nor shall this Plan or an Award itself confer upon any Participant any right to continue his or her employment or service for any specified period of time. Neither an Award nor any benefits arising under this Plan shall constitute an employment contract with the Company, any Subsidiary and/or its affiliates.

(e)          Unfunded Plan. The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan. Participants are and shall at all times be general creditors of the Company with respect to their Awards. If the Committee or the Company chooses to set aside funds in a trust or otherwise for the payment of Awards under the Plan, such funds shall at all times be subject to the claims of the creditors of the Company in the event of its bankruptcy or insolvency.

Re:                               Registration Statement on Form S-8

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on or about the date hereof (the “Registration Statement”) to effect registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),  1,535,242 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), issuable upon vesting and/or exercise of awards to be granted by the Company pursuant to the Amended and Restated Herley Industries, Inc. 2010 Stock Plan (the “Herley Plan”) and the Amended and Restated Integral Systems, Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Integral Plan” and together with the Herley Plan, the “Assumed Plans”).

 

As such counsel and for purposes of our opinion set forth herein, we have examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, resolutions, certificates and instruments of the Company, certificates of public officials and such other instruments and documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth herein, including, without limitation:

 

(i)            the Registration Statement;

 

(ii)           the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as certified as of March 6, 2012 by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware;

 

(iii)          the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company;

 

(iv)          the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) on February 20, 2012 (a) confirming the assumption of the Assumed Plans and authorizing the issuance of the Shares upon vesting and/or exercise of awards granted pursuant to the Assumed Plans and ( b) approving the filing of the Registration Statement and the registration of the Shares issuable upon vesting and/or exercise of awards granted pursuant to the Assumed Plans;

 



 

(v)           the Assumed Plans, including the forms of award agreements related thereto; and

 

(vi)          a certificate, dated as of March 6, 2012, from the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, as to the existence and good standing of the Company under the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

In addition to the foregoing, we have made such investigations of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth herein.

 

In such examination and in rendering the opinion set forth herein, we have assumed, without independent investigation or verification:  (i) the genuineness of all signatures on all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates and other documents submitted to us; (ii) the authenticity and completeness of all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates and other documents submitted to us as originals; (iii) that all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates and other documents submitted to us as certified, electronic, facsimile, conformed, photostatic or other copies conform to the originals thereof, and that such originals are authentic and complete; (iv) the legal capacity and authority of all persons or entities executing all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates and other documents submitted to us; (v) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all agreements, instruments, certificates and other documents by all parties thereto; (vi) that the statements contained in the certificates and comparable documents of public officials, officers and representatives of the Company and other persons on which we have relied for the purposes of this opinion letter are true and correct; and (vii) that the officers and directors of the Company have properly exercised their fiduciary duties.  As to all questions of fact material to the opinion set forth herein and as to the materiality of any fact or other matter referred to herein, we have relied (without independent investigation) upon representations and certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Company.

 

Based upon the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the limitations, qualifications and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares are duly authorized and, when issued and sold as described in the Registration Statement and in accordance with the Assumed Plans and the applicable award agreements thereunder (including the receipt by the Company of the full consideration therefor), will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

Without limiting any of the other limitations, exceptions and qualifications stated elsewhere herein, we express no opinion with regard to the applicability or effect of the laws of any jurisdiction other than, as in effect on the date of this opinion letter, the Delaware General Corporation Law.
