EXHIBIT 4.2
EVOLVE SOFTWARE, INC.
RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made as of the _____ day of ____, ____, by and between
Evolve Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
___________________ ("Purchaser").
In consideration of the mutual covenants and representations herein set
forth, the Company and Purchaser agree as follows:
(a) Purchase and Sale of Stock.
---------------------------
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Company hereby agrees to sell to Purchaser and Purchaser agrees to purchase from
the Company on the Closing Date (as herein defined), ____ shares of the
Company's Common Stock (the "Stock") at a price of $0.10 per share, for an
aggregate purchase price of $____. The purchase price for the Stock shall be
paid by Purchaser in cash or by check payable to the Company, or by means of a
duly executed full-recourse promissory note in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the "Note") made to the Company, or by a combination of such methods
of payment.
(ii) The Note shall become payable in full upon the earlier of
five years from the date of this Agreement, thirty (30) days following
termination of Purchaser's employment with or services to the Company except for
death or disability, and one (1) year following termination as a result of death
or disability.
(iii) As security for the faithful performance of this Agreement,
the repayment of the amount owing under the Note (if any) and to insure the
availability for delivery of the Purchaser's Stock upon exercise of the Purchase
Option (as defined below), the Purchaser shall deliver to the Secretary of the
Company, acting as escrow holder, or such other escrow holder as designated by
the Company (the "Escrow Holder"), all certificates representing the Stock and
two executed blank stock assignments, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B,
for use in transferring all or a portion of said Stock to the Company, as
required under this Section 1(c) or under any other provision of this Agreement,
and shall enter into a set of Joint Escrow Instructions in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C.
(iv) As security for the payment of the Note and any renewal,
extension or modification thereof, the Purchaser hereby grants to the Company,
pursuant to the Security Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D, a security
interest in and pledges with and delivers to the Company the certificate or
certificates representing the Stock.
(v) In the event of any foreclosure of the security interest, the
Company may sell the Shares at a private sale or may itself repurchase any or
all of the Stock. The parties acknowledge that, prior to the establishment of a
public market for the Stock of the Company, the securities laws applicable to
the sale of the Stock make a public sale of the Shares commercially
unreasonable. The parties agree that the repurchasing of said Stock by the
Company, or by any
person to whom the Company may have assigned its rights hereunder, is
commercially reasonable if made at any of the following prices: (i) a price
determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion, fairly exercised,
representing what would be the fair market value of the Shares diminished by any
limitation on transferability, whether due to the size of the block of Shares or
the restrictions of applicable securities laws, or (ii) the book value per Share
as recorded on the Company's books at the end of the last fiscal quarter prior
to the date of sale of the Stock upon foreclosure (whether or not such book
value per share is unaudited and subject to adjustment), or (iii) the price at
which the Stock were originally purchased by the Purchaser.
(vi) In the event of default in payment when due of any
indebtedness under the Note, the Company may elect then, or at any time
thereafter, to exercise all rights available to a secured party under the
California Commercial Code, including the right to sell the Stock at a private
or public sale or repurchase the Shares as provided above. The proceeds of any
sale shall be applied in the following order:
(1) To pay all reasonable expenses of the Company in
enforcing this Agreement, including without limitation reasonable attorneys'
fees and legal expenses incurred by the Company.
(2) In satisfaction of the remaining indebtedness under the
Note.
(3) To the Purchaser, any remaining proceeds.
(vii) Upon full payment by the Purchaser of all amounts due on
Purchaser's Note, the Escrow Holder shall deliver to the Purchaser the
certificate or certificates representing the Stock in the Escrow Holder's
possession belonging to the Purchaser, the blank stock assignment and the
executed original of the Note marked "canceled" by the Company, and the Escrow
Holder shall be discharged of all further obligations hereunder; provided,
however, that the Escrow Holder shall nevertheless retain said certificate or
certificates and stock assignment as escrow agent if so required pursuant to
other restrictions imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Closing. The purchase and sale of the Stock shall occur at a
--------
Closing to be held at such time and place (the "Closing Date"), as designated by
the Company by written notice of at least two business days. The Closing will
take place at the principal office of the Company or at such other place as
shall be designated by the Company. At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to
the Company a check payable to the order of the Company in the aggregate amount
of the purchase price of the Stock or a duly executed Note in the principal
amount of the purchase price (or a combination of checks and promissory notes),
and the Company will issue, as promptly thereafter as practicable, a certificate
representing the Stock registered in the name of the Purchaser.
(c) Purchase Option.
----------------
A total of ____ shares of the Stock ("Purchasable Shares") shall be subject
to the right and option of the Company to repurchase such shares ("Purchase
Option") as set forth in this paragraph 3. In the event Purchaser shall cease
to serve as a consultant to the Company, for any
-2-
reason, or no reason, with or without cause, including involuntary termination,
death or temporary or permanent disability (the "Termination"), the Purchase
Option shall come into effect. Following a Termination, the Company shall have
the right, as provided in subparagraph (b) hereof, to purchase from the
Purchaser or his personal representative, as the case may be, at the purchase
price per share originally paid as set forth in paragraph 1 hereof ("Option
Price") that portion of the Purchasable Shares which remains unvested as of the
date of the Termination (the "Unvested Shares"). ____ shares of the Stock have a
Vesting Date of ____ __, ____. Subject to consultancy with the Company, one
twenty-fifth (1/25) of the remaining Stock shall vest on the fifteenth of each
month after ____ __, ____ (the "Vesting Commencement Date").
Within 90 days following a Termination, the Company shall notify Purchaser
by written notice delivered or mailed as provided in subparagraph 9(c), as to
whether it wishes to purchase the Unvested Shares pursuant to exercise of the
Purchase Option. If the Company (or its assignee) elects to purchase the
Unvested Shares hereunder, it shall set a date for the closing of the
transaction at a place and time specified by the Company or, at Company's
option, such closing may be consummated by mail as provided in Section 9(c)
hereof. At such closing, the Company (or its assignee) shall tender payment for
the Unvested Shares and the certificates representing the Unvested Shares so
purchased shall be canceled. The Option Price shall be payable, at the option
of the Company by cancellation of all or any outstanding indebtedness of
Purchaser to the Company (including but not limited to indebtedness under the
Note) or in cash or by check. If the Purchase Option is assigned by the Company
and the fair market value of the shares, as determined by the Board of Directors
of the Company, exceeds the repurchase price, and such assignee exercises the
Purchase Option, then the assignee shall pay to the Company the difference
between the fair market value of the shares repurchased and the aggregate
repurchase price.
(d) Stock Splits, etc. If, from time to time during the term of this
----------------------------------------------------------------
Agreement:
----------
(i) There is any stock dividend or liquidating dividend of cash
and/or property, stock split or other change in the character or amount of any
of the outstanding securities of the Company; or
(ii) There is any consolidation, merger or sale of all, or
substantially all, of the assets of the Company; then, in such event, any and
all new, substituted or additional securities or other property to which
Purchaser is entitled by reason of his ownership of Stock shall be immediately
subject to this Agreement and be included in the word "Stock" for all purposes
with the same force and effect as the shares of Stock presently subject to the
Purchase Option, right of first refusal and other terms of this Agreement. While
the aggregate Option Price shall remain the same after each such event, the
Option Price per share of Stock payable upon execution of the Purchase Option
shall be appropriately adjusted.
(e) Restriction on Transfer; Right of First Refusal. Purchaser shall
------------------------------------------------
not sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any shares of
the Stock which remain subject to the Purchase Option.
-3-
Before any shares of Stock registered in the name of Purchaser that are no
longer subject to the Purchase Option may be sold or transferred (including
transfer by operation of law), such shares shall first be offered to the
Company.
(i) The Purchaser shall deliver a notice ("Notice") to the
Company stating (i) his bona fide intention to sell or transfer such shares,
(ii) the number of such shares to be sold or transferred, (iii) the price for
which he proposes to sell or transfer such shares, and (iv) the name of the
proposed purchaser or transferee.
(ii) Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice, the
Company or its assignee may elect to purchase all or none of the shares to which
the Notice refers, at the price per share specified in the Notice.
(iii) If all of the shares to which the Notice refers are not
elected to be purchased, as provided in subparagraph 5(b) hereof, the Purchaser
may sell the shares to any person named in the Notice at the price specified in
the Notice or at a higher price, provided that (i) such sale or transfer is
consummated within 60 days of the date of said Notice to the Company, (ii) any
such sale is in accordance with all the terms and conditions hereof, and (iii)
any transferee of shares of the Stock agrees to be bound by the Standoff
Agreement set forth in Section 11 below.
The provisions of this paragraph 5 shall terminate (except as to the
Purchase Option) on (i) the closing date of a registration statement filed by
the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), with
respect to an underwritten public offering of Common Stock of the Company or
(ii) the closing date of a sale of assets or merger or other business
combination of the Company pursuant to which shareholders of this Company
receive securities of a buyer whose shares are publicly traded. The provisions
of subparagraphs 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) shall not apply to a transfer of any shares
of Stock by Purchaser, either during his lifetime or on death by will or
intestacy to his other ancestors, descendants or spouse, or any custodian or
trustee for the account of Purchaser or Purchaser's ancestors, descendants or
spouse; provided, in each such case that the transferee shall receive and hold
such shares subject to the provisions of this paragraph 5 and there shall be no
further transfer of such shares except in accordance herewith. The provisions
of Sections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) shall not apply to any sale of shares of Stock
by the Purchaser pursuant to a Registration Statement filed under the Act.
The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any shares
of Stock which shall have been sold or transferred in violation of any of the
provisions set forth in this Agreement, or (ii) to treat as owner of such shares
or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any
transferee to whom such shares shall have been so transferred.
(f) Legends. All certificates representing any of the shares of
--------
Stock subject to the provisions of this Agreement shall have endorsed thereon
the following legends:
(i) "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO
CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS UPON TRANSFER, INCLUDING A STANDOFF AGREEMENT, RIGHTS OF
REPURCHASE AND RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL AS SET
-4-
FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER, A COPY
OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE CORPORATION. SUCH TRANSFER
RESTRICTIONS, INCLUDING THE STANDOFF AGREEMENT AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ARE
BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES."
(ii) "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED
FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.
THESE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION
OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT. COPIES OF THE AGREEMENT COVERING THE
PURCHASE OF THESE SHARES AND RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO
COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE
SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE
CORPORATION."
(iii) Any legend required to be placed thereon by applicable blue
sky laws of any state.
(g) Purchaser's Representations. In connection with his purchase of
----------------------------
the Stock, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as
follows:
(i) Investment Intent; Capacity to Protect Interests. The
------------------------------------------------
Purchaser is purchasing the Stock solely for his own account for investment and
not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of the Stock
or any portion thereof and not with any present intention of selling, offering
to sell or otherwise disposing of or distributing the Stock or any portion
thereof in any transaction other than a transaction exempt from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The Purchaser also
represents that the entire legal and beneficial interest of the Stock is being
purchased, and will be held, for the Purchaser's account only, and neither in
whole or in part for any other person. Purchaser either has a pre-existing
business or personal relationship with the Company or any of its officers,
directors or controlling persons or by reason of Purchaser's business or
financial experience or the business or financial experience of Purchaser's
professional advisors who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by
the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or
indirectly, could be reasonably assumed to have the capacity to evaluate the
merits and risks of an investment in the Company and to protect Purchaser's own
interests in connection with this transaction.
(ii) Residence. The Purchaser's principal residence is located
---------
at the address indicated beneath the Purchaser's signature below.
(iii) Information Concerning Company. The Purchaser has
------------------------------
heretofore discussed the Company and its plans, operations and financial
condition with the Company's officers and has heretofore received all such
information as the Purchaser has deemed necessary and appropriate to enable the
Purchaser to evaluate the financial risk inherent in making an investment in
-5-
the Stock, and the Purchaser has received satisfactory and complete information
concerning the business and financial condition of the Company in response to
all inquiries in respect thereof.
(iv) Economic Risk. The Purchaser realizes that the purchase of
-------------
the Stock will be a highly speculative investment and involves a high degree of
risk, and the Purchaser is able, without impairing financial condition, to hold
the Stock for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss on the
Purchaser's investment.
(v) Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands and
---------------------
acknowledges that:
(1) the sale of the Stock has not been registered under the
Act, and the Stock must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered
under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available (such as Rule
144 or the resale provisions of Rule 701 under the Act) and the Company is under
no obligation to register the Stock;
(2) the share certificate representing the Stock will be
stamped with the legends specified in Section 6 hereof; and
(3) the Company will make a notation in its records of the
aforementioned restrictions on transfer and legends.
(vi) Disposition under Rule 144. The Purchaser understands that
--------------------------
the shares of Stock are restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144
promulgated under the Act; that the exemption from registration under Rule 144
will not be available in any event for at least two years from the date of
purchase and payment of the Stock (unless Rule 701 promulgated under the Act is
available), and even then will not be available unless (i) a public trading
market then exists for the Common Stock of the Company, (ii) adequate
information concerning the Company is then available to the public, and (iii)
other terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied with; and that any sale of
the Stock may be made only in limited amounts in accordance with such terms and
conditions. Purchaser further understands that the resale provisions of Rule
701, if available, will not apply until ninety (90) days after the Company
becomes subject to the reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). There can be no assurance that the
requirements of Rule 144 or Rule 701 will be met or that the Stock will ever be
saleable.
(vii) Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way
----------------------------------
limiting his representations set forth above, the Purchaser further agrees that
it shall in no event make any disposition of all or any portion of the Stock
unless and until:
(1) (A)there is then in effect a Registration Statement under
the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with said Registration Statement; or, (B)(1) the Purchaser shall have
--
notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the
Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed
disposition, (2) the Purchaser shall have furnished the Company with an
-6-
opinion of the Purchaser's counsel to the effect that such disposition will not
require registration of such shares under the Act, and (3) such opinion of the
---
Purchaser's counsel shall have been concurred in by counsel for the Company
and the Company shall have advised the Purchaser of such concurrence; and,
---
(2) the shares of Stock proposed to be transferred are no
longer subject to the Purchase Option set forth in Section 3 hereof and the
Purchaser shall have complied with the Right of First Refusal set forth in
Section 5 hereof; and,
---
(3) any prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the
restrictions on transfer, Standoff Agreement, and right of first refusal as set
forth in this Agreement.
(viii) Valuation of Common Stock. The Purchaser understands that
-------------------------
the Stock has been valued by the board of directors and that the Company
believes this valuation represents a fair attempt at reaching an accurate
appraisal of its worth; the Purchaser understands, however, that the Company can
give no assurances that such price is in fact the fair market value of the Stock
and that it is possible that, with the benefit of hindsight, the Internal
Revenue Service would successfully assert that the value of the common stock on
the date of purchase is substantially greater than so determined.
If the Internal Revenue Service were to succeed in a tax determination that
the Stock received had value greater than that upon which the transaction was
based, the additional value would constitute ordinary income as of the date of
its receipt. The additional taxes (and interest) due would be payable by the
Purchaser, and there is no provision for the Company to reimburse him for that
tax liability, and the Purchaser assumes all responsibility for such potential
tax liability. In the event such additional value would represent more than 25
percent of the Purchaser's gross income for the year in which the value of the
shares were taxable, the Internal Revenue Service would have six years from the
due date for filing the return (or the actual filing date of the return if filed
thereafter) within which to assess the Purchaser the additional tax and interest
which would then be due.
(ix) Section 83(b) Election. The Purchaser understands that
----------------------
Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), taxes
as ordinary income the difference between the amount paid for the Stock and the
fair market value of the Stock as of the date any restrictions on the Stock
lapse. In this context, "restriction" means the right of the Company to buy back
the stock pursuant to the Purchase Option. In the event the Company has
registered under the Exchange Act, "restriction" with respect to officers,
directors and 10% shareholders also means the 6-month period after the Closing
during which such officers, directors and 10% shareholders are subject to suit
under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. The Purchaser understands that he may
elect to be taxed at the time the Stock is purchased rather than when and as the
Purchase Option or 6-month Section 16(b) period expires by filing an election
under Section 83(b) of the Code with the I.R.S. Even if the fair market value of
the Stock equals the amount paid for the Stock, the election must be made to
avoid adverse tax consequences in the future. The form for making this election
is attached as Exhibit C hereto. The Purchaser understands that failure to make
this filing timely will result in the recognition of ordinary income by the
Purchaser, as the Purchase Option lapses, or after the lapse of the 6-month
Section 16(b) period, on the difference between the purchase price and the
-7-
fair market value of the Stock at the time such restrictions lapse. Purchaser
understands that if Purchaser desires to make a Section 83 election, Purchaser
must file a properly completed and executed election form with the I.R.S. Center
in which Purchaser files tax returns within 30 days of the date of purchase.
Furthermore, Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser must file an election form
with such I.R.S. Center with the Purchaser's tax return for the tax year in
which the Purchaser makes the election. Purchaser must also file a copy of the
election form with the Company.
THE PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE PURCHASER'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY
AND NOT THE COMPANY'S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF
THE PURCHASER REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON
THE PURCHASER'S BEHALF.
THE PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE TIMELY FILING OF THE 83(B) ELECTION IS
A CONDITION TO THE SALE, AND THAT THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO ISSUE A
CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING THE STOCK UNTIL IT IS SATISFIED THAT SUCH ELECTION HAS
BEEN FILED IN A TIMELY MANNER.
(h) Miscellaneous.
--------------
(i) Subject to the provisions and limitations hereof, Purchaser
may, during the term of this Agreement, exercise all rights and privileges of a
shareholder of the Company with respect to the Stock deposited in said escrow.
(ii) The parties agree to execute such further instruments and to
take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent
of this Agreement.
(iii) Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in
writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or upon
deposit in the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail with
postage and fees prepaid, addressed to Purchaser at his address shown on the
Company's employment records and to the Company at the address of its principal
corporate offices (attention: President) or at such other address as such party
may designate by ten days' advance written notice to the other party hereto.
(iv) The Company may assign its rights and delegate its duties
under this Agreement, including paragraphs 3 and 5 hereof. This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company and, subject
to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, be binding upon Purchaser, his
heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
(v) Purchaser hereby authorizes and directs the Secretary or
Transfer Agent of the Company to transfer the Stock as to which the Purchase
Option, right of foreclosure under the Note, if applicable, or right of first
refusal has been exercised from Purchaser to the Company or the Company's
assignee.
(i) Arbitration. At the option of either party, any and all disputes or
------------
controversies whether of law or fact and of any nature whatsoever arising from
or respecting this Agreement shall
-8-
be decided by arbitration by the American Arbitration Association in accordance
with the rules and regulations of that Association.
The arbitrators shall be selected as follows: In the event the Company and
Purchaser agree on one arbitrator, the arbitration shall be conducted by such
arbitrator. In the event the Company and Purchaser do not so agree, the Company
and Purchaser shall each select one independent, qualified arbitrator and the
two arbitrators so selected shall select the third arbitrator. The Company
reserves the right to object to any individual arbitrator who shall be employed
by or affiliated with a competing organization.
Arbitration shall take place in San Francisco County, California or any
other location mutually agreeable to the parties. At the request of either
party, arbitration proceedings will be conducted in the utmost secrecy; in such
case all documents, testimony and records shall be received, heard and
maintained by the arbitrators in secrecy under seal, available for the
inspection only of the Company or Purchaser and their respective attorneys and
their respective experts who shall agree in advance and in writing to receive
all such information confidentially and to maintain such information in secrecy
until such information shall become generally known. The arbitrators, who shall
act by majority vote, shall be able to decree any and all relief of an equitable
nature, including but not limited to such relief as a temporary restraining
order, a temporary and/or a permanent injunction, and shall also be able to
award damages, with or without an accounting and costs. The decree or judgment
of an award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof.
Reasonable notice of the time and place of arbitration shall be given to
all persons, other than the parties, as shall be required by law, in which case
such persons or those authorized representatives shall have the right to attend
and/or participate in all the arbitration hearings in such manner as the law
shall require.
(j) Standoff Agreement. Purchaser agrees, in connection with the
-------------------
Company's initial public offering of its equity securities, and upon request of
the Company or the underwriters managing such offering, not to sell, make any
short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of or otherwise dispose
of any shares of Stock (other than those included in the registration, if any)
without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the
case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days) from the effective
date of such registration as may be requested by the Company or such
underwriters.
(k) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and shall be
--------------
construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California
without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of
the day and year first above written.

JOINT ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS

____ ___, ____
Corporate Secretary
Evolve Software, Inc.

Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000
Dear Corporate Secretary:
As Escrow Agent for both Evolve Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and the undersigned purchaser of stock of the Company (the
"Purchaser"), you are hereby authorized and directed to hold the documents
delivered to you pursuant to the terms of the Restricted Stock Purchase
Agreement (the "Agreement") between the Company and the undersigned in
accordance with the following instructions:
1. In the event the Company and/or any assignee of the Company (referred to
collectively for convenience herein as the "Company") exercises the Company's
repurchase option set forth in the Agreement, the Company shall give to
Purchaser and you a written notice specifying the number of shares of stock to
be purchased, the purchase price and the time for a closing hereunder at the
principal office of the Company. Purchaser and the Company hereby irrevocably
authorize and direct you to close the transaction contemplated by such notice in
accordance with the terms of said notice.
2. At the closing, you are directed (a) to date the stock assignments
necessary for the transfer in question, (b) to fill in the number of shares
being transferred, and (c) to deliver same, together with the certificate
evidencing the shares of stock to be transferred, to the Company or its
assignee, against the simultaneous delivery to you of the purchase price (by
cash, a check, cancellation of indebtedness or some combination thereof) for the
number of shares of stock being purchased pursuant to the exercise of the
Company's repurchase option.
3. Purchaser irrevocably authorizes the Company to deposit with you any
certificates evidencing shares of stock to be held by you hereunder and any
additions and substitutions to said shares as defined in the Agreement.
Purchaser does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint you as Purchaser's
attorney-in-fact and agent for the term of this escrow to execute with respect
to such securities all documents necessary or appropriate to make such
securities negotiable and to complete any transaction herein contemplated,
including but not limited to the filing with any applicable state blue sky
authority of any required applications for consent to, or notice of transfer of,
the securities. Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 3, Purchaser shall
exercise all rights and privileges of a shareholder of the Company while the
stock is held by you.
4. Upon written request of the Purchaser, but no more than once per calendar
year, unless the Company's repurchase option has been exercised, you will
deliver to Purchaser a certificate or

---------
SECURITY AGREEMENT
This Security Agreement is made as of ____ __, ____ between Evolve

Securities pledged hereunder ("Pledgeholder").
Recitals
--------
Pursuant to Pledgor's purchase of Shares under the Restricted Stock
Purchase Agreement dated ____ ___, ____ (the "Agreement"), between Pledgor and
Pledgee, and Pledgor's election under the terms of the Agreement to pay for such
shares with Pledgor's promissory note (the "Note"), Pledgor has purchased ____
shares of Pledgee's Common Stock (the "Shares") at a price of $0.10 per share,
for a total purchase price of $____. The Note and the obligations thereunder
are as set forth in Exhibit A to the Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:
1. Creation and Description of Security Interest. In consideration of the
transfer of the Shares to Pledgor under the Agreement, Pledgor, pursuant to the
California Commercial Code, hereby pledges all of such Shares (herein sometimes
referred to as the "Collateral") represented by Certificate Number ______, duly
endorsed in blank or with an executed stock power or powers, and herewith
delivers said certificate to Pledgeholder, who shall hold said certificate
subject to the terms and conditions of this Security Agreement.
The pledged stock (together with an executed blank stock assignment or
assignments for use in transferring all or a portion of the Shares to Pledgee
if, as and when required pursuant to this Security Agreement) shall be held by
Pledgeholder as security for the repayment of the Note, and any extensions or
renewals thereof, to be executed by Pledgor pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement, and Pledgeholder shall not encumber or dispose of such Shares except
in accordance with the provisions of this Security Agreement.
2. Pledgor's Representations and Covenants. To induce Pledgee to enter into
this Security Agreement, Pledgor represents and covenants to Pledgee, its
successors and assigns, as follows:
a) Payment of Indebtedness. Pledgor will pay the principal sum of
-----------------------
the Note secured hereby, and interest thereon, at the time and in the manner
provided in the Note.
b) Encumbrances. The Shares are free of all other encumbrances,
------------
defenses and liens (other than restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable
securities laws), except for (i) Pledgee's rights to repurchase Shares pursuant
to Section 3 of the Agreement and (ii) the pledge of the Shares hereunder as
security for payment of the Note, and Pledgor will not further encumber the
Shares without the prior written consent of Pledgee.
1
c) Margin Regulations. In the event that Pledgee's Common Stock is
------------------
now or later becomes margin-listed by the Federal Reserve Board and Pledgee is
classified as a "lender" within the meaning of the regulations under Part 207 of
Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations ("Regulation G"), Pledgor agrees to
cooperate with Pledgee in making any amendments to the Note or providing any
additional collateral as may be necessary to comply with such regulations.
3. Voting Rights. During the term of this pledge and so long as all payments
of principal and interest are made as they become due under the terms of the
Note, Pledgor shall have the right to vote all of the Shares pledged hereunder.
4. Stock Adjustments. In the event that during the term of the pledge any
stock dividend, reclassification, readjustment or other changes are declared or
made in the capital structure of Pledgee, all new, substituted and additional
shares or other securities issued by reason of any such change shall be
delivered to and held by the Pledgee under the terms of this Security Agreement
in the same manner as the Shares originally pledged hereunder. In the event of
substitution of such securities, Pledgor, Pledgee and Pledgeholder shall
cooperate and execute such documents as are reasonable so as to provide for the
substitution of such Collateral and, upon such substitution, references to
"Shares" in this Security Agreement shall include the substituted shares of
capital stock of Pledgor as a result thereof.
5. Options and Rights. In the event that, during the term of this pledge,
subscription Options or other rights or options shall be issued in connection
with the pledged Shares, such rights, Options and options shall be the property
of Pledgor and, if exercised by Pledgor, all new stock or other securities so
acquired by Pledgor as it relates to the pledged Shares then held by
Pledgeholder shall be immediately delivered to Pledgeholder, to be held under
the terms of this Security Agreement in the same manner as the Shares pledged.
6. Default. Pledgor shall be deemed to be in default of the Note and of this
Security Agreement in the event:
a) Payment of principal or interest on the Note shall be delinquent
for a period of 10 days or more; or
b) Pledgor fails to perform any of the covenants set forth in the
Agreement or contained in this Security Agreement for a period of 10 days after
written notice thereof from Pledgee.
In the case of an event of Default, as set forth above, Pledgee shall have
the right to accelerate payment of the Note upon notice to Pledgor, and Pledgee
shall thereafter be entitled to pursue its remedies under the California
Commercial Code.
7. Release of Collateral. Subject to any applicable contrary rules under
Regulation G, there shall be released from this pledge a portion of the pledged
Shares held by Pledgeholder hereunder upon payments of the principal of the
Note. The number of the pledged Shares which shall be
2
released shall be that number of full Shares which bears the same proportion to
the initial number of Shares pledged hereunder as the payment of principal bears
to the initial full principal amount of the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
upon any release of pledged Shares hereunder any such Shares which shall
continue to constitute Unreleased Shares as defined in the Agreement shall
continue to be held in escrow pursuant to Sections 3 and 6 of the Agreement.

withdraw, pledge, substitute or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the
Collateral without the prior written consent of Pledgee.

indebtedness secured hereby, subject to the provisions for prior release of a
portion of the Collateral as provided in paragraph 7 above.
10. Insolvency. Pledgor agrees that if a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding
is instituted by or against it, or if a receiver is appointed for the property
of Pledgor, or if Pledgor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, the
entire amount unpaid on the Note shall become immediately due and payable, and
Pledgee may proceed as provided in the case of default.
11. Pledgeholder Liability.
a) Pledgeholder shall not be liable to any party for any of his acts,
or omissions to act, as Pledgeholder unless Pledgeholder is proved to have acted

other than an act or omission involving gross or wilful negligence, shall be
deemed to be done or omitted in good faith.
b) Pledgeholder shall be entitled to employ such legal counsel and
other experts as Pledgeholder may deem necessary properly to advise Pledgeholder
in connection with its obligations hereunder, and Pledgeholder may rely upon the
advice of such counsel. Such counsel's reasonable fees and costs shall be borne
50% by Xxxxxxx and 50% by Pledgee.

respect to the delivery and/or ownership or right of possession of the
securities held by Pledgeholder hereunder, Pledgeholder is authorized and
directed to retain in Pledgeholder's possession without liability to anyone all
or any part of said securities until such disputes shall have been settled

and no appeal has been perfected, but Pledgeholder shall be under no duty
whatsoever to institute or defend any such proceedings.
