Employee Stock Options Except as provided in this Agreement or pursuant to the provisions of any Plan or employee or director stock option agreement as in effect on the date hereof, from the date hereof Company will not accelerate the vesting or exercisability of or otherwise modify the terms and conditions applicable to the Employee Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each of the Employee Stock Options which is outstanding and unexercised at the Effective Time shall be converted automatically into an option to purchase Parent Shares in an amount and at an exercise price determined as provided below (and otherwise subject to the terms of the stock option plans of Company governing the Employee Stock Options (the "Company Stock Option Plans")): (1) The number of Parent Shares to be subject to the new option shall be equal to the product of the number of Shares subject to the original option and the Exchange Ratio, PROVIDED that any fractional Parent Shares resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded down to the nearest share and, except with respect to any options which are intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" (as defined in section 422 of the Code ("ISOs")), Parent shall pay an amount in cash to the holder of such Employee Stock Option equal to the fair market value immediately prior to the Effective Time of such fractional Parent Shares calculated based on the average closing price on the New York Stock Exchange for the last five trading days immediately preceding the day prior to the Effective Time; and (2) The exercise price per Parent Share under the new option shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price of the original option divided by the total number of full Parent Shares subject to the new option (as determined under (1) immediately above), PROVIDED that such exercise price shall be rounded up to the nearest cent. The adjustment provided herein with respect to any ISOs shall be and is intended to be effected in a manner that is consistent with section 424(a) of the Code. The duration and other terms of the new option shall be the same as that of the original option, except that all references to Company shall be deemed to be references to Parent. Parent shall file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or other appropriate form) or a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time for purposes of registering all Parent Shares issuable after the Effective Time upon exercise of the Employee Stock Options, and shall have such registration statement or post-effective amendment become effective and comply, to the extent applicable, with state securities or blue sky laws with respect thereto at the Effective Time.
Rights of Stockholders No holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, as a Warrant holder, to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of the Shares or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all actions taken and all amendments made pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall be taken or made in compliance with Sections 423 and 424 of the Code and so as not to result in a “modification” under such Sections.

Subject to applicable withholding requirements, if any, dividends on the Restricted Shares shall be paid to the Recipient when earned and payable.
Rights of a Stockholder Prior to the time a Restricted Share is fully vested hereunder, the Employee shall have no right to transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber such Restricted Share. During such period, the Employee shall have all other rights of a stockholder, including, but not limited to, the right to vote and to receive dividends (subject to Section 2(a) hereof) at the time paid on such Restricted Shares.
RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Option until the date of the issuance of the shares for which the Option has been exercised (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date the shares are issued, except as provided in Section 9. If the Participant is an Employee, the Participant understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in a separate, written employment agreement between a Participating Company and the Participant, the Participant’s employment is “at will” and is for no specified term. Nothing in this Option Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the Service of a Participating Company or interfere in any way with any right of the Participating Company Group to terminate the Participant’s Service as a Director, an Employee or Consultant, as the case may be, at any time.
No Rights of Stockholders Neither the Optionee nor any personal representative (or beneficiary) shall be, or shall have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares purchasable or issuable upon the exercise of the Option, in whole or in part, prior to the date on which the Shares are issued.
