Plan Terminations Under Section 409A Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.2, if this Agreement terminates in the following circumstances:
Limitations Under Code Section 409A (i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if (A) on the date of termination of Executive’s employment with the Company or a subsidiary, any of the Company’s stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”)), (B) Executive is determined to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B), (C) the payments exceed the amounts permitted to be paid pursuant to Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) and (D) such delay is required to avoid the imposition of the tax set forth in Section 409A(a)(1), as a result of such termination, the Executive would receive any payment that, absent the application of this Section 5(g), would be subject to interest and additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) as a result of the application of Section 409A(2)(B)(i), then no such payment shall be payable prior to the date that is the earliest of (1) six (6) months and one day after the Executive’s termination date, (2) the Executive’s death or (3) such other date (the “Delay Period”) as will cause such payment not to be subject to such interest and additional tax (with a catch-up payment equal to the sum of all amounts that have been delayed to be made as of the date of the initial payment). In particular, with respect to any lump sum payment otherwise required hereunder, in the event of any delay in the payment date as a result of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) and (B)(i), the Company will adjust the payments to reflect the deferred payment date by crediting interest thereon at the prime rate in effect at the time such amount first becomes payable, as quoted by the Company’s principal bank.
Limitation on Participant’s Rights Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Corporation as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Stock Units, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Common Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to Stock Units, as and when payable hereunder.
Other Provisions applicable to Adjustments under this Section The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this Section 4:
Grant of Stock Options This non-qualified Stock Option is granted under and pursuant to the Plan and is subject to each and all of the provisions thereof.
Acceleration of Stock Options The Company shall accelerate and make immediately exercisable any and all unmatured stock options (whether or not such stock options are otherwise exercisable) which Executive then holds to acquire securities from the Company; provided, however, that Executive shall have ninety (90) days after such termination of employment to exercise any outstanding stock options and after such ninety (90) days any and all unexpired stock options shall lapse; and, provided, further, however, any tax benefit provisions with respect to any stock options shall apply to any and all unmatured stock options (whether or not such stock options are otherwise exercisable). If as a result of such acceleration of incentive stock options the $100,000 limitation would be exceeded with respect to an optionee, such incentive stock options shall be converted, as of the date such incentive stock options become exercisable, to non-qualified stock options to the extent necessary to comply with the $100,000 limitation and the Company shall pay to such optionee an additional cash payment equal to the tax benefit to be received by the Company attributable to its federal income tax deduction resulting from the exercise of such converted non-qualified stock options.
Treatment of Stock Options 6 ARTICLE III.
Award of Stock Pursuant to the Plan, the Number of Shares of Restricted Stock Granted shown above (the “Restricted Stock”) were awarded to the Participant on the Date of Grant shown above, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and subject further to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
Determinations Under Section 3 01. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 3.01, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Lenders unless an officer of the Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the date that the Borrower, by notice to the Lenders, designates as the proposed Effective Date, specifying its objection thereto. The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the occurrence of the Effective Date.
Limitations on Rights Associated with Units The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Corporation, no dividend rights (except as expressly provided in Section 5(b) with respect to Dividend Equivalent Rights) and no voting rights, with respect to the Stock Units and any shares of Common Stock underlying or issuable in respect of such Stock Units until such shares of Common Stock are actually issued to and held of record by the Participant. No adjustments will be made for dividends or other rights of a holder for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance of the stock certificate.
