The form of Indemnity Agreement entered into with each director and officer is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. Quantas board of directors may from time to time authorize Quanta to enter into additional indemnity agreements with other of its future directors and officers utilizing the same form of Indemnity Agreement.
The Indemnity Agreements generally provide that Quanta will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless each indemnitee that is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any civil, criminal or administrative proceeding against all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any such proceeding. The Indemnity Agreements provide the indemnitee with indemnification rights in connection with third-party proceedings and proceedings brought by or in the right of Quanta. In addition, the Indemnity Agreements provide for the advancement of expenses incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any covered proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Indemnity Agreements also provide that if the
indemnification rights provided for therein are unavailable for any reason, Quanta will pay, in the first instance, the entire amount incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any covered proceeding and waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have against the indemnitee.
The rights provided by the Indemnity Agreements are in addition to any other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which the indemnitee may be entitled under applicable law, Quantas Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws, or otherwise. The Indemnity Agreements supersede all prior indemnity agreements and other similar agreements entered into by and between Quanta and each of the above officers and directors.
The above description of the Indemnity Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Indemnity Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.
In addition, on May 26, 2005, the board of directors of Quanta approved the termination of Quantas Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), to be effective upon the close of the offering period ending November 30, 2005. The ESPP, which is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, was adopted by Quantas board of directors and approved by the stockholders of Quanta in May 1999. Eligible employees who elect to participate in the ESPP are granted a purchase right at the beginning of each offering period to purchase a number of shares of Quantas common stock through payroll deductions of from 1% to 10% of a participants compensation, provided the participant remains employed at the close of the offering period and does not timely withdraw from participation during a particular offering period. The purchase price at which each share of common stock may be acquired in an offering period upon the exercise of a purchase right is established by the board of directors, but may not be less than 85% of the lesser of (a) the fair market value of each share on the first day of the offering period or (b) the fair market value of each share on the last day of the offering period. The termination of the ESPP will not affect purchase rights previously granted under the ESPP. Quantas board of directors approved the termination of the ESPP due to limited participation in the plan and the likelihood of increases in overall administrative and other costs associated with new accounting rules affecting the ESPP.
