EXHIBIT 10.7
AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE
HANOVER COMPRESSOR COMPANY
INCENTIVE OPTION PLAN
ARTICLE I
The Plan
1.1 Name. This plan shall be known as the "Hanover Compressor
Company Incentive Option Plan" (the "Plan").
1.2 Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the growth and
general prosperity of Hanover Compressor Company, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), by permitting the Company to grant to its Employees options to
purchase Common Stock of the Company (the "Options"). The Plan is designed to
help the Company attract and retain superior personnel for positions of
substantial responsibility and to provide Employees with an additional
incentive to contribute to the success of the Company. The Company intends
that Options granted pursuant to the Plan will be nonstatutory options and will
not be classified as "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section
422 of the Code.
1.3 Effective Date. The Plan originally was effective June 29,
1993. This Amendment and Restatement of the Plan is effective July 17, 1995.
1.4 Eligibility to Participate. Only Employees who participated
in the Offering and who own shares of Common Stock on the Grant Date shall be
eligible to participate in the Plan. The Committee may grant Options to
eligible Employees in accordance
with this Plan and such determinations as the Committee from time to time in
its sole discretion shall make.
1.5 Shares Subject to the Plan. The shares available for issuance
upon exercise of Options granted under the Plan shall be shares of Common Stock
(the "Plan Shares").
1.6 Maximum Number of Plan Shares. Subject to adjustment pursuant
to the provisions of Section 4.2, and subject to any additional restrictions
elsewhere in the Plan, the maximum number of Plan Shares that may be issued and
sold hereunder shall not exceed 8,554.
1.7 Options Granted Under Plan. Plan Shares with respect to which
an Option shall have been exercised shall not again be available for grant
hereunder.
1.8 Conditions Precedent. Options shall not vest nor shall the
Company issue or deliver any certificate for Plan Shares pursuant to the Plan
prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:
(a) The admission of the Plan Shares to listing on all
stock exchanges on which the Common Stock is then listed, if any,
unless the Committee determines in its sole discretion that such
listing is neither necessary nor advisable;
(b) The completion of any registration or other
qualification or exemption of the Plan Shares under any federal or
state law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission or any other
-2-
governmental regulatory body that the Committee shall in its sole
discretion deem necessary or advisable; and
(c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from
any federal or state governmental agency that the Committee shall in
its sole discretion determine to be necessary or advisable.
1.9 Reservation of Shares of Common Stock. During the term of the
Plan, the Company will at all times reserve and keep available such number of
shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the requirements of the
Plan as to the maximum number of Plan Shares. In addition, the Company will
from time to time, as is necessary to accomplish the purposes of the Plan, seek
or obtain from any regulatory agency having jurisdiction any requisite
authority that is necessary to issue Plan Shares hereunder. The inability of
the Company to obtain from any regulatory agency having jurisdiction the
authority deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful
issuance of any Plan Shares shall relieve the Company of any liability in
respect of the non-issuance of Plan Shares as to which the authority shall not
have been obtained.
1.10 Tax Withholding.
(a) Condition Precedent. The issuance, delivery,
exercise or vesting of any Options under the Plan is subject to the
condition that if at any time the Committee shall determine, in its
discretion, that the satisfaction of withholding tax or other
withholding liabilities under any
-3-
state or federal law is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or
in connection with, the issuance, delivery, exercise or vesting of the
Options, then the issuance, delivery, exercise or vesting of the
Options shall not be effective unless the withholding shall have been
effected or obtained in a manner acceptable to the Committee.
(b) Manner of Satisfying Withholding Obligation. When an
Optionee is required to pay to the Company an amount required to be
withheld under applicable income tax laws in connection with the
exercise of an Option, subject to Section 1.10(c), such individual may
satisfy the obligation, in whole or in part, by electing to (i) have
the Company withhold a portion of the Plan Shares acquired upon the
exercise of the Option and having a Fair Market Value on the date the
amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax Date")
equal to the amount required to be withheld or (ii) deliver to the
Company shares of Common Stock already owned and having a Fair Market
Value on the Tax Date equal to the amount required to be withheld.
The amount to be withheld shall be the minimum amount that is required
to be withheld under applicable federal and state income tax laws;
provided, however, in the event a request is made by an Optionee, the
amount to be withheld shall be the approximate amount of federal and
state income taxes that will be incurred by such Optionee with respect
to such issuance, delivery, exercise or vesting of Options under the
Plan.
-4-
(c) Special Rules for Use of Stock. An election to have
Plan Shares or other shares of Common Stock withheld or delivered out
of already-owned Common Stock for this purpose (i) must be made prior
to the Tax Date, and (ii) must be irrevocable.
ARTICLE II
Administration
2.1 Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee.
Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole
discretion and authority to determine the Employees to whom and the time or
times at which Options may be granted and the number of Plan Shares to be
subject to each Option. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the
Committee shall also have complete authority to interpret the Plan, to
prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to it, to
determine the details and provisions of each Option Agreement, including but
not limited to provisions related to vesting and exercisability, and to make
all other determinations necessary or advisable in the administration of the
Plan.
2.2 Appointment of Committee. The Committee shall be appointed by
the Board and shall consist of one or more members of the Board, provided that
in lieu of such appointment, the Board or the Compensation Committee of the
Board may act as the Committee.
2.3 Majority Rule; Unanimous Written Consent. A majority of the
members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, and any action taken by a
majority present at a meeting at which a quorum is present or any
-5-
action taken without a meeting evidenced by a writing executed by all members
of the Committee shall constitute the action of the Committee. Meetings of the
Committee may take place by telephone conference call.
2.4 Company Assistance. The Company shall supply full and timely
information to the Committee on all matters relating to Optionees, their
employment, death, retirement, disability, or other termination of employment,
and such other pertinent facts as the Committee may require. The Company shall
furnish the Committee with such clerical and other assistance as is necessary
in the performance of its duties.
ARTICLE III
Stock Options
3.1 Option Terms and Conditions. The terms and conditions of
Options granted under this Article may differ from one another as the Committee
shall, in its discretion, determine as long as all Options granted under this
Article satisfy the requirements of this Article.
3.2 Duration of Options. Each Option granted pursuant to this
Article and all rights thereunder shall expire on the date determined by the
Committee, but in no event shall any Option granted under this Article expire
later than 10 years after the Grant Date. In addition, each Option shall be
subject to early
-6-
termination as provided elsewhere in the Plan or the Option Agreement.
3.3 Purchase Price and Number of Plan Shares. The purchase price
for Plan Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise, in whole or in part, of any
Option shall be $725 per share subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4.2.
The number of Plan Shares which an Optionee shall be granted an Option to
purchase hereunder shall be determined pro rata based on the number of shares
of Common Stock such Optionee subscribed for in the Offering and are owned by
Optionee on the Grant Date, bears to the number of shares all Optionees under
this Plan subscribed to in the Offering and held on the Grant Date.
3.4 Individual Option Agreements. Each Optionee receiving Options
pursuant to this Article shall be required to enter into a written Option
Agreement with the Company as a precondition to receiving an Option under this
Article. In such Option Agreement, the Optionee shall agree to be bound by the
terms and conditions of the Plan, the awards made pursuant hereto, and such
other matters as the Committee deems appropriate.
3.5 Exercise of Options.
(a) Method of Exercise. Each Option shall be exercisable
in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement pursuant to which
the Option was granted. No Option may be exercised for a fraction of
a Plan Share.
(b) Payment of Purchase Price. The purchase price of any
Plan Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option shall be
-7-
paid at the time of exercise of the Option either (i) in cash, (ii) by
certified or cashier's check, (iii) if permitted by the Committee, by
shares of Common Stock, (iv) if permitted by the Committee, by cash or
certified or cashier's check for the par value of the Plan Shares plus
a promissory note for the balance of the purchase price, which note
shall provide for full personal liability of the maker and shall
contain such other terms and provisions as the Committee may
determine, including without limitation the right to repay the note
partially or wholly with Common Stock, or (v) by delivery of a copy of
irrevocable instructions from the Optionee to a broker or dealer,
reasonably acceptable to the Company, to sell certain of the Plan
Shares purchased upon exercise of the Option or to pledge them as
collateral for a loan and promptly deliver to the Company the amount
of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay such purchase price. If any
portion of the purchase price or a note given at the time of exercise
is paid in shares of Common Stock, those shares shall be valued at the
then Fair Market Value.
3.6 Vesting. No Option shall be exercisable prior to its vesting.
Options shall vest based on the number of years elapsed from the Grant Date
according to the following schedule:
[Download Table]
Years Elapsed Vesting
---------------------- -------
Two but fewer than three 0%
3 years but fewer than 4 20%
4 years but less than 5 40%
5 years but less than 6 60%
6 year but less than 7 80%
7 or more years 100%
-8-
An Optionee shall forfeit that portion of his Option which is not vested on the
date he terminates employment with the Company and all subsidiaries and
affiliates for any reason other than death or disability. If an Optionee's
employment with the Company is terminated on account of his death or
Disability, then such Optionee shall be 100% fully vested in such Option
regardless of the number of years elapsed from the Grant Date. Upon the
occurrence of a Capital Event each Optionee who is then employed by the Company
shall become 100% fully vested in his Option, regardless of the number of years
elapsed from the Grant Date.
3.7 Period for Exercise. If Optionee ceases to be employed by the
Company or any subsidiary or affiliate for any reason other than death or
disability, the Option shall be exercisable (to the extent exercisable on the
date of termination of employment) at any time prior to the earlier of (a) the
date such Option would otherwise terminate under Section 3.2, or (b) 90 days
after the date of termination of employment. The Option shall be fully vested
and exercisable if the Optionee's employment is terminated due to death or
Disability prior to the date such Option would otherwise expire under Section
3.2. Following the death of the Optionee, the Option may be exercised by the
Optionee's personal representative or by the distributee to whom the Optionee's
rights under the Option shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.
-9-
3.8 Written Notice of Exercise Required. Any Option shall be
deemed to be exercised for purposes of the Plan when written notice of exercise
has been received by the Company at its principal office from the person
entitled to exercise the Option and payment for the Plan Shares with respect to
which the Option is exercised has been received by the Company in accordance
with Section 3.5. Upon notice of a Capital Event, an Optionee may exercise an
Option conditioned upon the occurrence of the Capital Event.
3.9 Compliance with Securities Laws. Plan Shares shall not be
issued with respect to any Option unless the exercise of the Option and the
issuance and delivery of the Plan Shares shall comply with all applicable
provisions of state and federal law (including without limitation (a) the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, Rule 16b-3, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, and (b) the requirements of any stock exchange upon
which the Plan Shares may then be listed and shall be further subject to the
approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. The
Committee may also require an Optionee to furnish evidence satisfactory to the
Company, including a written and signed representation letter and consent to be
bound by any transfer restrictions imposed by law, legend, condition, or
otherwise, that the Plan Shares are being acquired only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute the shares in violation of
any state or federal law, rule, or regulation. Further, each Optionee shall
consent to the imposition of a legend on the certificate representing the Plan
Shares issued
-10-
upon the exercise of the Option restricting their transferability as required
by law or by this Section.
3.10 Employment of Optionee. Nothing in the Plan or in any Option
granted hereunder shall confer upon any Optionee any right to continued
employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or limit in
any way the right of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate at any time to
terminate or alter the terms of that employment.
3.11 Options Not Transferable and Subject to Certain Restrictions.
Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, or transferred ln any manner other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised
during the lifetime of an Optionee only by that Optionee or by his legally
authorized representative. Plan Shares issued or issuable upon exercise of any
Option shall be subject to redemption pursuant to the terms of the Amended and
Restated Stockholders' Agreement dated as of August 7, 1995 and any other
similar agreement to which Optionee is subject to regarding purchase or
redemptive rights.
ARTICLE IV
Termination Amendment and Adjustment
4.1 Termination and Amendment. The Plan shall terminate 10 years
after the Effective Date. No Options shall be granted under the Plan after
that date of termination. The Committee may at any time amend or revise the
terms of the Plan, including the form and
-11-
substance of the Option Agreements to be used in connection herewith. No
amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of
the Optionee, alter or impair any of that Optionee's rights or obligations
under any Option granted under the Plan prior to that amendment, suspension, or
termination.
4.2 Adjustments. If the outstanding Common Stock is increased or
decreased by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, or reverse stock split,
an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made in the maximum number
of Plan Shares as to which Options may be granted under the Plan; provided,
however, that no adjustment shall be made for the conversion of preferred stock
into Common Stock. A corresponding adjustment changing the number or kind of
shares allocated to unexercised Options or portions thereof, which shall have
been granted prior to any such change, shall likewise be made. Any such
adjustment in outstanding Options shall be made without change in the aggregate
purchase price applicable to the unexercised portion of the Option, but with a
corresponding adjustment in the price for each share covered by the Option.
The foregoing adjustments and the manner of application of the forgoing
provisions shall be determined solely by the Committee, and any such adjustment
may provide for the elimination of fractional share interests.
-12-
ARTICLE V

affect any other stock option or incentive or other compensation plans in

the successors and assigns of the Company.
5.3 Plan Shares Not Outstanding. Prior to issuance upon exercise
