Exhibit 10.5
VITAL IMAGES, INC.
INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION ADJUSTMENT PLAN
1. BACKGROUND; PURPOSE OF PLAN
1.1 Vital Images, Inc. (the "Company") has entered into that certain
Distribution Agreement, dated as of May 2, 1997 (the "Distribution
Agreement"), between the Company and Bio-Vascular, Inc., a Minnesota
corporation ("Bio-Vascular"), pursuant to which Bio-Vascular will
distribute (the "Distribution") all of the outstanding shares of the
Company's common stock to Bio-Vascular's shareholders of record on the
Record Date (as defined in the Distribution Agreement). In connection
with the Distribution, each holder of an option to purchase Bio-Vascular
common stock (a "Bio-Vascular Option") as of the Record Date will be
entitled to retain such Bio-Vascular Option, provided that such Bio-
Vascular Option will be adjusted to reflect the Distribution (an
"Adjusted Bio-Vascular Option"). In addition, as of the Record Date, each
holder of a Bio-Vascular Option will also be entitled to receive an
option to purchase Company common stock that will be adjusted to reflect
the Distribution (an "Adjusted Company Option").
1.2 Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable plans under which
the Bio-Vascular Options were initially granted, the exercise price and
number of shares covered by each Adjusted Bio-Vascular Option, as well as
the exercise price and number of shares covered by each Adjusted Company
Option, will be determined according to a formula, set forth in the
Employee Benefits Agreement entered into between Bio-Vascular and the
Company, that is based on the relative fair market trading values of Bio-
Vascular common stock and Company common stock during the first five
trading days following the Distribution Date (as defined in the
Distribution Agreement). Pursuant to this formula, these adjustments will
be made in such a manner that the aggregate "intrinsic value," or
difference between fair market value and exercise price, of the Adjusted
Bio-Vascular Option and Adjusted Company Option will equal the pre-
Distribution "intrinsic value" of the Bio-Vascular Option with respect to
which the adjustment and grant were made.
1.3 In order to ensure that each Adjusted Company Option is granted without
any additional benefit not provided by the Bio-Vascular Option with
respect to which it is granted, Adjusted Company Options will be granted
under the terms of a corresponding "mirror" plan of the Company. With
respect to Bio-Vascular Options granted under the Bio-Vascular, Inc. 1988
Stock Option Plan, this Vital Images, Inc. Incentive Stock Option
Adjustment Plan (the "Plan") will serve as such a "mirror" plan.
Accordingly, the sole purpose of this Plan is to provide for the grant of
such Adjusted Company Options, and no additional option grants of any
kind will be granted under this Plan.

shares of Stock of the Company by reason of any stock dividend, split,
recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination,
exchange of shares, or rights offering to purchase stock at a price
substantially below fair market value, or other similar corporate change,
the aggregate number of shares which may be subject to Options under the
Plan and the terms of any outstanding Option, including the number and
kind of shares subject to such Options and the purchase price per share
thereof, shall be appropriately adjusted as the Board, in its sole
discretion, may deem equitable to prevent substantial dilution or
enlargement of the rights granted to or available for Optionees.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in no event shall any fraction of
a share of Stock be issued upon the exercise of an Option.
(a) Change in Control. In the event of a "Change in Control" of the
Company, as defined in paragraph (b) below, then the following
acceleration and valuation provisions shall apply:
(i) Except as otherwise determined by the Board, in its discretion,
prior to the
3
occurrence of a Change in Control, any Options outstanding on the
date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred that
are not yet exercisable and vested on such date shall become
fully exercisable and vested;
(ii) Except as otherwise determined by the Board, in its discretion,
prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, the value of all
outstanding Options, to the extent they are exercisable and
vested (including Options that shall become exercisable and
vested pursuant to subparagraph (i) above), shall be cashed out
at the Change in Control Price, (reduced by the exercise price
applicable to such Options). The cash out proceeds shall be paid
to the Optionee or, in the event of an Optionee prior to payment,
to the estate of the Optionee or to a person who acquired the
right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance.
(b) Definition of "Change in Control". For purposes of this Section 4.2,
a "Change in Control" means the happening of any of the following,
provided that it occurs after the Distribution Date:
(i) When any "person", as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and
14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or
a Company employee benefit plan, including any trustee of such
plan acting as trustee) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty
percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the
Company's then outstanding securities; or
(ii) The occurrence of a transaction requiring shareholder approval,
and involving the sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company or the merger of the Company with or into another
corporation.
(c) Change in Control Price. For purposes of this Section 4.2, "Change
in Control Price" shall be, as determined by the Board, (i) the
highest Fair Market Value of a Share within the 60 day period
immediately preceding the date of determination of the Change in
Control Price by the Board (the "60-Day Period"), or (ii) the highest
price paid or offered per Share, as determined by the Board, in any
bona fide transaction or bona fide offer related to the Change in
Control of the Company, at any time within the 60-Day Period, or
(iii) some lower price as the Board, in its discretion, determines to
be a reasonable estimate of the fair market value of a Share.
5. ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS
In addition to the following persons, individuals who hold outstanding Bio-
Vascular Options as of the Record Date are eligible to participate in the Plan:
5.1 Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to
employees of the Company or any Subsidiary, including officers and
directors who are also employees of the Company or any Subsidiary.
5.2 Non-Statutory Stock Options. Non-statutory stock options may be granted
to (i) any
4
employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, including any officer or
director who is also an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary; (ii)
any non-employee director of the Company or any Subsidiary; and (iii) any
consultant to, or other independent contractor of, the Company.
6. GRANT OF OPTIONS
Subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations set forth in this Plan, the
Company, by action of its Board, may from time to time grant Options to
purchase shares of the Company's Stock to those eligible Participants as may
be selected by the Board, in such amounts and on such other terms as the Board
in its sole discretion shall determine. Such Options may be (i) "Incentive
Stock Options" so designated by the Board and which, when granted, are
intended to qualify as incentive stock options as defined in Section 422A of
the Code; (ii) "Non-Statutory Stock Options" so designated by the Board and
which, when granted, do not qualify as incentive stock options under Section
422A of the Code; or (iii) a combination of both. The date on which the Board
approves the granting of an Option shall be the date of grant of such Option.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the grant of any Incentive
Stock Option under the Plan, the aggregate fair market value of Stock
(determined as of the date the Option is granted) with respect to which such
Options are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee in any calendar year
(under all such stock option plans of the Company or Subsidiaries) shall not
exceed $100,000. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by
a written stock option agreement between the Company and the Optionee setting
forth the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, under which
the Option so granted may be exercised pursuant to the Plan and containing
such other terms with respect to the Option as the Board in its sole
discretion may determine.
7. OPTION PRICE AND FORM OF PAYMENT
The purchase price for a share of Stock subject to an Option granted hereunder
shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Stock. For
purposes of this Section 7, the "fair market value" of the Stock shall be
determined as follows:
(a) if the Stock of the Company is listed or admitted to unlisted trading
privileges on a national securities exchange, the fair market value
on any given day shall be the closing sale price for the Stock, or if
no sale is made on such day, the closing bid price for such day on
such exchange;
(b) if the Stock is not listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges
on a national securities exchange, the fair market value on any given
day shall be the closing sale price for the Stock as reported on the
NASDAQ National Market System on such day, or if no sale is made on
such day, the closing bid price for such day as entered by a market
maker for the Stock;
(c) if the Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, is not
admitted to unlisted trading privileges on any such exchange, and is
not eligible for inclusion in the NASDAQ National Market System, the
fair market value on any given day shall be the average of the
closing representative bid and asked prices as reported by the
National Quotation Bureau, Inc. or, if the Stock is not quoted on the
National Association of
5
Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System, then as reported in
any publicly available compilation of the bid and asked prices of the
Stock in any over-the-counter market on which the Stock is traded; or
(d) if there exists no public trading market for the Stock, the fair
market value on any given day shall be an amount determined in good
faith by the Board in such manner as it may reasonably determine in
its discretion, provided that such amount shall not be less than the
book value per share, as reasonably determined by the Board as of the
date of determination, or less than the par value of the Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted
to any Optionee then owning more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of
the Company's stock, the purchase price per share of the Stock subject to such
Option shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the Stock on the
date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option, determined as provided above.
Except as provided herein, the purchase price of each share of Stock purchased
upon the exercise of any Option shall be paid:
(a) in United States dollars in cash or by check, bank draft or money
order payable to the order of the Company; or
(b) at the discretion of the Board, through the delivery of shares of
Stock, having initially or as a result of successive exchanges of
shares, an aggregate fair market value (as determined in the manner
provided under this Plan) equal to the Option price; or
(c) at the discretion of the Board, by a combination of both (a) and (b)
above; or
(d) by such other method as may be permitted in the written stock option
agreement between the Company and the Optionee.
If such form of payment is permitted, the Board shall determine procedures for
tendering Stock as payment upon exercise of an Option and may impose such
additional limitations and prohibitions on the use of Stock as payment upon the
exercise of an Option as it deems appropriate.
If the Board in its sole discretion so agrees, the Company may finance the
amount payable by an Optionee upon exercise of any Option upon such terms and
conditions as the Board may determine at the time such Option is granted under
this Plan, provided, however, that the amount financed shall not exceed the
"good faith loan value" (as that term is defined in Section 207.2(e) of
Regulation G of the Federal Reserve Board) of the shares of Stock to be acquired
upon exercise of an Option.
8. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS
8.1 Manner of Exercise. An Option, or any portion thereof, shall be exercised
by delivering a written notice of exercise to the Board and paying to the
Company the full purchase price of the Stock acquired upon the exercise
of the Option. Until certificates for the Stock acquired upon the
exercise of an Option are issued to an Optionee, such Optionee shall not
have any rights as a shareholder of the Company.
6
8.2 The Limitations and Conditions on Exercise of Options. In addition to any
other limitations or conditions contained in this Plan or that may be
imposed by the Board from time to time or in the stock option agreement
to be entered into with respect to Options granted hereunder, the
following limitations and conditions shall apply to the exercise of
Options granted under this Plan:
(a) No Incentive Stock Option may be exercisable by its terms after the
expiration of 10 years from the date of the grant thereof.
(b) No Incentive Stock Option granted to an eligible Participant then
owning more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of the
Company's stock may be exercisable by its terms after the expiration
of five years from the date of the grant thereof.
9. INVESTMENT PURPOSES
Unless a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 is in effect
with respect to Stock to be purchased upon exercise of Options to be granted
under the Plan, the Company shall require that an Optionee agree with and
represent to the Company in writing that he or she is acquiring such shares of
Stock for the purpose of investment and with no present intention to transfer,
sell or otherwise dispose of such shares of Stock other than by transfers
which may occur by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and no
shares of Stock may be transferred unless, in the opinion of counsel to the
Company, such transfer would be in compliance with applicable securities laws.
In addition, unless a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933
is in effect with respect to the Stock to be purchased under the Plan, each
certificate representing any shares of Stock issued to an Optionee hereunder
shall have endorsed thereon a legend in substantially the following form:
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED WITHOUT REGISTRATION
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT") AND WITHOUT
REGISTRATION UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, IN RELIANCE UPON
EXEMPTION(S) CONTAINED THEREIN. NO TRANSFER OF THESE SHARES OR ANY INTEREST
THEREIN MAY BE MADE EXCEPT PURSUANT TO EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENTS UNDER
SAID LAWS UNLESS THE CORPORATION HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSFER OR DISPOSITION DOES NOT REQUIRE
REGISTRATION UNDER SAID LAWS AND, FOR ANY SALES UNDER RULE 144 OF THE ACT,
SUCH EVIDENCE AS IT SHALL REQUEST FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THAT RULE, OR APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS."
10. TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS
No Option granted under the Plan shall be transferable by an Optionee (whether
by sale, assignment, hypothecation or otherwise) other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution, and Options shall be exercisable during the
Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee.
11. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
7
11.1 Generally. The transfer by a Participant of employment or other service
from one Employer or its Subsidiaries to the other Employer or its
Subsidiaries will not be deemed to constitute a termination of employment
or other service for purposes of this Plan. Except as otherwise provided
in this Section 11, if an Optionee's employment with the Employer or the
Employer's Subsidiary is terminated (hereinafter "Termination") other
than by death or Disability (as hereinafter defined), the Optionee may
exercise any Option granted under the Plan, to the extent the Optionee
was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of Termination, for a
period of three months after the date of Termination or until the term of
the Option has expired, whichever date is earlier.
11.2 Death or Disability of Optionee. In the event of the death or
Disability of an Optionee prior to expiration of an Option held by him or
her, the following provisions shall apply:
(a) If the Optionee is at the time of his or her Disability employed by
the Employer or a Subsidiary of the Employer and has been in
continuous employment (as determined by (x) the Committee if the
Employer is the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company or (y) the
Bio-Vascular Committee if the Employer is Bio-Vascular or a
Subsidiary of Bio-Vascular) since the date of grant of the Option,
then the Option may be exercised by the Optionee until the earlier of
one year following the date of such Disability or the expiration date
of the Option, but only to the extent the Optionee was entitled to
exercise such Option at the time of his or her Disability. For the
purpose of this Section, the term "Disability" shall have the meaning
given to it in Section 22(e) (3) of the Code. The determination of
whether an Optionee has a Disability within the meaning of Section
22(e) (3) shall be made by the (x) the Committee if the Employer is
the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company or (y) the Bio-Vascular
Committee if the Employer is Bio-Vascular or a Subsidiary of Bio-
Vascular.
(b) If the Optionee is at the time of his or her death employed by the
Employer or a Subsidiary of the Employer and has been in continuous
employment (as determined by (x) the Committee if the Employer is the
Company or a Subsidiary of the Company or (y) the Bio-Vascular
Committee if the Employer is Bio-Vascular or a Subsidiary of Bio-
Vascular) since the date of grant of the Option, then the Option may
be exercised by the Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the
right to exercise the Option by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, until the earlier of one year from the date of the
Optionee's death or the expiration date of the Option, but only to
the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the
time of death.
(c) If the Optionee dies within three months after Termination, the
Option may be exercised until the earlier of nine months following
the date of death or the expiration date of the Option, by the
Optionee's estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise
the Option by will or the laws of descent or distribution, but only
to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the
time of Termination.
11.3 Termination for Cause. If the employment of an Optionee is terminated by
the Employer or a Subsidiary of the Employer for cause, then the Board
shall have the right to cancel any Options granted to the Optionee under
the Plan.
8
12. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN
12.1 The Board, without approval by the shareholders of the Company, may at
any time and from time to time suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or
in part or amend it from time to time in such respects as may be in the
best interests of the Company; provided, however, that no such amendment
shall be made without approval of the shareholders if it would: (a)
materially modify the eligibility requirements for Participants; (b)
increase the total number of shares of Stock which may be issued pursuant
to Options, except in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Plan; (c) reduce
the minimum Option price per share as set forth in Section 7 of the Plan,
except in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Plan; (d) extend the period
of granting Options; or (e) materially increase in any other way the
benefits accruing to Optionees.
12.2 No amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan shall, without the
Optionee's consent, alter or impair any of the rights or obligations
under any Option theretofore granted to the Optionee under the Plan.
12.3 The Board may amend the Plan, subject to the limitations cited above, in
such manner as it deems necessary to permit the granting of Incentive
Stock Options meeting the requirements of future amendments to the Code
or regulations promulgated thereunder.
13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
13.1 Right to Continued Employment. No person shall have any claim or right to
be granted an Option under the Plan, and the grant of an Option under the
Plan shall not be construed as giving an Optionee the right to continued
employment with the Employer or any Subsidiary of the Employer. The
Employer further expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss an
Optionee or reduce an Optionee's compensation with or without cause, free
from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, except as provided
herein or in a stock option agreement.
13.2 Withholding Taxes. The Employer shall have the right to require that
payment or provision for payment of any and all withholding taxes due
upon the grant or exercise of an Option hereunder or the disposition of
any Stock or other property acquired upon exercise of an Option be made
by an Optionee. In connection therewith, the Board shall have the right
to establish such rules and regulations or impose such terms and
conditions in any agreement relating to an Option granted hereunder with
respect to such withholding as the Board may deem necessary and
appropriate.
13.3 Governing Law. The Plan shall be administered in the State of
Minnesota, and the validity, construction, interpretation, and
administration of the Plan and all rights relating to the Plan shall be
determined solely in accordance with the laws of such state, unless
controlled by applicable federal law, if any.
14. EFFECTIVE DATE
The effective date of the Plan is the Distribution Date. No Option may be
granted after November
9
13, 1997, provided, however, that the Plan and all outstanding Options shall
remain in effect until such outstanding Options have expired or been canceled.
