Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

2. Exercise of Option.

2.1. Schedule of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Option and the Plan, 50,000 of the Shares covered by this Option shall become exercisable on October 20, 2006 and the remaining 150,000 of the shares covered by this Option shall become exercisable ratably, rounded to the nearest whole Share, at the end of each 3-month period following October 20, 2006, such that all of the Shares subject to this option shall be exercisable on and as of the fourth annual anniversary of the Date of Option Grant. This schedule refers to the earliest times on which this Option may be exercised with respect to the specified number of Shares, and this Option may be exercised with respect to all or any part of such Shares at any time (prior to the

3. Restrictions on Exercise. The grant of this Option and the issuance and subsequent transfer of the Shares are subject to compliance with all applicable laws, including all applicable securities laws. Thus, for example, the Option may not be exercised unless: (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is then in effect with respect to the Shares, or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the Shares may be issued in accordance with an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. As a condition to the exercise of this Option or the transfer of any Shares, the Company may require Optionee to satisfy any requirements or qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with or evidence compliance with any applicable law.

4. Termination of Option. Except as provided below and in the Plan, after Optionee’s Termination, this Option shall be exercisable, to the extent the Shares are vested on the date of Termination, during the 90 days after the Termination, but in no event after the Expiration Date.

4.1. Leaves of Absence. This Option may not be exercised more than three months after the beginning of a leave of absence, other than a personal or medical leave approved by an authorized representative of the Company with employment guaranteed upon return. This Option will continue to vest during a leave of absence of not more than three months, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in accordance with the Plan.

4.2. Death or Disability. If Optionee’s Termination is due to death or disability as provided in the Plan, this Option may be exercised, to the extent exercisable at the date of Termination, for one year after Termination, but in no event after the Expiration Date and in accordance with the other provisions of the Plan.

4.3. Termination for Cause. If Optionee’s Termination is due to Cause as provided in the Plan, this Option shall automatically terminate and cease to be exercisable at the time of Termination and the Administrator may rescind any exercise of this Option by Optionee that occurred after the first event constituting Cause.

4.4. Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control Termination (as defined below), this Option will become exercisable in full.

The following definitions shall apply to this Section 4.4:

(a) “Change of Control Termination” shall have occurred if Optionee’s employment by the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, is terminated without Cause or the Optionee Resigns for Good Reason, in either case within 12 months following the effective date of a Change of Control; provided, however, that, if a Change of Control occurs before October 20, 2006, a Change of Control Termination shall have been deemed to occur if

EMBARCADERO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of October 20, 2005, by and between Embarcadero Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Michael Shahbazian (“Purchaser”).

RECITALS

A. The Company has made an inducement grant of restricted stock to Purchaser

B. Although the grant was not made under the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), it was granted otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

C. To the extent any capitalized terms used in this Agreement are not defined, they shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

AGREEMENT

1. Sale of Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, on the Purchase Date (as defined below) the Company will issue and sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) at a purchase price of $.001 per Share for a total purchase price of $100.00. The term “Shares” refers to the purchased Shares and all securities received in replacement of the Shares or as stock dividends or splits, all securities received in replacement of the Shares in a recapitalization, merger, reorganization, exchange or the like, and all new, substituted or additional securities or other properties to which Purchaser is entitled by reason of Purchaser’s ownership of the Shares.

2. Purchase. The purchase and sale of the Shares under this Agreement shall occur at the principal office of the Company simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement by the parties or on such other date as the Company and Purchaser shall agree (the “Purchase Date”). On the Purchase Date, the Company will deliver to Purchaser a certificate representing the Shares to be purchased by Purchaser (which shall be issued in Purchaser’s name) against payment of the purchase price therefor by Purchaser by check made payable to the Company.

3. Limitations on Transfer. In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws, Purchaser shall not assign, encumber or dispose of any interest in the Shares while the Shares are subject to the Company’s Repurchase Option (as defined below). After any Shares have been released from the Repurchase Option, Purchaser shall not assign, encumber or dispose of any interest in such Shares except in compliance with the provisions below and applicable securities laws.

 

-1-

---

(a) Repurchase Option.

(i) In the event of Purchaser’s Termination, the Company shall upon the date of such termination (the “Termination Date”) have an irrevocable, exclusive option (the “Repurchase Option”) for a period of 90 days from such date to repurchase all or any portion of the Shares held by Purchaser as of the Termination Date which have not yet been released from the Company’s Repurchase Option at the original purchase price per Share specified in Section 1 (adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends and the like). In addition, the event of a Purchaser’s Termination for “Cause” as provided in Section 9.4 of the Plan, the Company shall have an irrevocable exclusive option to repurchase any Shares purchased after the first event constituting “Cause”.

(ii) Unless the Company notifies Purchaser within 90 days from the Termination Date that it does not intend to exercise its Repurchase Option with respect to some or all of the Shares, the Repurchase Option shall be deemed automatically exercised by the Company as of the 90th day following the Termination Date, provided that the Company may notify Purchaser that it is exercising its Repurchase Option as of a date prior to such 90th day. Unless Purchaser is otherwise notified by the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence that the Company does not intend to exercise its Repurchase Option as to some or all of the Shares to which it applies at the time of termination, execution of this Agreement by Purchaser constitutes written notice to Purchaser of the Company’s intention to exercise its Repurchase Option with respect to all Shares to which such Repurchase Option applies. The Company, at its choice, may satisfy its payment obligation to Purchaser with respect to exercise of the Repurchase Option by either (A) delivering a check to Purchaser in the amount of the purchase price for the Shares being repurchased, or (B) in the event Purchaser is indebted to the Company, canceling an amount of such indebtedness equal to the purchase price for the Shares being repurchased, or (C) by a combination of (A) and (B) so that the combined payment and cancellation of indebtedness equals such purchase price. In the event of any deemed automatic exercise of the Repurchase Option pursuant to this Section 3(a)(ii) in which Purchaser is indebted to the Company, such indebtedness equal to the purchase price of the Shares being repurchased shall be deemed automatically canceled as of the 90th day following the Termination Date unless the Company otherwise satisfies its payment obligations. As a result of any repurchase of Shares pursuant to this Section 3(a), the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Shares being repurchased and shall have all rights and interest therein or related thereto, and the Company shall have the right to transfer to its own name the number of Shares being repurchased by the Company, without further action by Purchaser.

(iii) All of the Shares shall initially be subject to the Repurchase Option. Provided that Purchaser remains continuously employed (or continues to provide services to the Company as a consultant), 37,500 of the total number of Shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option on the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date (as set forth on the signature page of this Agreement), an additional 18,750 Shares on each of the end of eighteen months after the Vesting Commencement Date and the second anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date and an additional 12,500 Shares on each of the end of thirty months after the Vesting Commencement Date and the third anniversary of the Vesting

 

-2-

---

Commencement Date so that all 100,000 Shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option on the Fully Vested Date (as set forth on the signature page of this Agreement).

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control Termination (as defined below in Section 8(g)), all Shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option.

(b) Restrictions Binding on Transferees. All transferees of Shares or any interest therein will receive and hold such Shares or interest subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including insofar as applicable the Company’s Repurchase Option. Any sale or transfer of the Shares shall be void unless the provisions of this Agreement are satisfied.

(c) Termination of Rights. Upon the expiration or exercise of the Repurchase Option, a new certificate or certificates representing the Shares not repurchased shall be issued, on request, without the legend referred to in Section 5(a) below and delivered to Purchaser.

4. Escrow of Unvested Shares. For purposes of facilitating the enforcement of the provisions of Section 3 above, Purchaser agrees, immediately upon receipt of the certificate(s) for the Shares subject to the Repurchase Option, to deliver such certificate(s), together with an Assignment Separate from Certificate in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A executed by Purchaser and by Purchaser’s spouse (if required for transfer), in blank, to the Secretary of the Company, or the Secretary’s designee, to hold such certificate(s) and Assignment Separate from Certificate in escrow and to take all such actions and to effectuate all such transfers and/or releases as are in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Secretary of the Company, or the Secretary’s designee, is so appointed as the escrow holder with the foregoing authorities as a material inducement to make this Agreement and that said appointment is coupled with an interest and is accordingly irrevocable. Purchaser agrees that said escrow holder shall not be liable to any party hereof (or to any other party). The escrow holder may rely upon any letter, notice or other document executed by any signature purported to be genuine and may resign at any time. Purchaser agrees that if the Secretary of the Company, or the Secretary’s designee, resigns as escrow holder for any or no reason, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have the power to appoint a successor to serve as escrow holder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

5. Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.

(a) Legends. The certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following legend (as well as any legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws):

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

 

-3-

---

(b) Stop-Transfer Notices. Purchaser agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

(c) Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.

6. No Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Company, or a parent or subsidiary of the Company, to terminate Purchaser’s employment or consulting relationship, for any reason, with or without cause.

7. Section 83(b) Election. Purchaser understands that Section 83(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), taxes as ordinary income the difference between the amount paid for the Shares and the fair market value of the Shares as of the date any restrictions on the Shares lapse. In this context, “restriction” means the right of the Company to buy back the Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Option set forth in Section 3(a) of this Agreement. Purchaser understands that Purchaser may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are purchased, rather than when and as the Repurchase Option expires, by filing an election under Section 83(b) (an “83(b) Election”) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the date of purchase. However, the 83(b) Election must be made if the Purchaser wishes to avoid additional income under Section 83(a) in the future. Accordingly, Purchaser understands that failure to file such an election in a timely manner may result in adverse tax consequences for Purchaser. Purchaser further understands that an additional copy of such election form should be filed with his or her federal income tax return for the calendar year in which the date of this Agreement falls. Purchaser acknowledges that the foregoing is only a summary of the effect of United States federal income taxation with respect to purchase of the Shares hereunder, and does not purport to be complete. Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company has directed Purchaser to seek independent advice regarding the applicable provisions of the Code, the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which Purchaser may reside, the tax consequences of Purchaser’s death and the decision as to whether or not to file an 83(b) Election in connection with the acquisition of the Shares.

Purchaser agrees that Purchaser will execute and deliver to the Company with this executed Agreement a copy of the Acknowledgment and Statement of Decision Regarding Section 83(b) Election (the “Acknowledgment”), attached hereto as Exhibit B. Purchaser further agrees that Purchaser will execute and submit with the Acknowledgment a copy of the 83(b) Election, attached hereto as Exhibit C, if Purchaser has indicated in the Acknowledgment his or her decision to make such an election.

8. Miscellaneous.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

(b) Entire Agreement; Enforcement of Rights. This Agreement and the Plan set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and merge all prior discussions between them. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement. The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party.

(c) Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(d) Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient when delivered personally or sent by telegram or fax or 48 hours after being deposited in the U.S. mail, as certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, and addressed to the party to be notified at such party’s address or fax number as set forth below or as subsequently modified by written notice.

(e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

(f) Successors and Assigns. The rights and benefits of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Company’s successors and assigns. The rights and obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement may only be assigned with the prior written consent of the Company.

(g) Definitions. The following definitions shall apply to Section 3(a)(iv) above:

(i) “Change of Control Termination” shall have occurred if Purchaser’s employment by the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, is terminated without Cause or the Purchaser Resigns for Good Reason, in either case within 12 months following the effective date of a Change of Control; provided, however, that, if a Change of Control occurs before October 20, 2006, a Change of Control Termination shall have been deemed to occur if Purchaser’s employment by the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or
