Company RSUs At the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit entitling the holder thereof to Company Shares or cash equal to the value of Company Shares with only time-based vesting requirements (each, a “Company RSU”) that is outstanding and unvested as of the Effective Time (after application of any vesting acceleration provisions set forth in the terms of such Company RSU) (each such Company RSU, an “Unvested Company RSU”) shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into a restricted stock unit denominated in Parent Shares entitling the holder thereof to solely cash equal to the value of the number of Parent Shares (rounded up to the nearest whole number) equal to (i) the number of Company Shares subject to such Unvested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each such restricted stock unit shall continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including the terms set forth on Section 4.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter) as were applicable to such Unvested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding and vested as of the Effective Time (taking into account the application of any vesting acceleration provisions set forth in the terms of such Company RSU), shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into only the right to receive an amount solely in cash equal to the Equity Award Cash-Out Consideration, and an amount solely in cash equal to any accumulated and unpaid dividend equivalents, in each case, with respect to each Company Share subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (without interest and less applicable withholdings in accordance with Section 4.6) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than the end of the first regular payroll period commencing following the Effective Time); provided that, with respect to any Company RSUs that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and that are not permitted to be paid or settled as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time without triggering a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, such payment or settlement shall be made at the earliest time permitted under the terms of such award that will not trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.
Company Options “Company Options” shall mean all options to purchase Shares (whether granted by the Company pursuant to the Company Equity Plans, assumed by the Company in connection with any merger, acquisition or similar transaction or otherwise issued or granted).
Stock Appreciation Rights The Grantee or other person entitled to exercise this Option is further hereby granted the right ("Stock Appreciation Right") in lieu of exercising this Option or any portion thereof to receive an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the excess of the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to this Option or such portion thereof over the aggregate exercise price for such shares hereunder as of the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. The amount payable upon exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right may be settled by payment in cash or in shares of the class then subject to this Option valued on the basis of their Fair Market Value on the date Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, or in a combination of cash and such shares so valued. No Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised, in whole or in part, (i) other than in connection with the contemporaneous surrender without exercise of this Option or the portion thereof that corresponds to the portion of the Stock Appreciation Right being exercised, or (ii) except to the extent that this Option or such portion thereof is exercisable on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right by the Person exercising the Stock Appreciation Right, or (iii) unless the class of stock then subject to this Option is then Publicly Traded.
Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Option or upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such Option or to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall have expired or terminated, the Exercise Price then in effect will be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination (other than in respect of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued.
Additional Shares or Options The Company hereby agrees that until the consummation of a Business Combination, it shall not issue any shares of Common Stock or any options or other securities convertible into Common Stock, or any preferred shares or other securities of the Company which participate in any manner in the Trust Account or which vote as a class with the Common Stock on a Business Combination.
Company Warrants (i) All Company Warrants that pursuant to their terms do not provide for assumption of such Company Warrants in connection with the Merger shall be cancelled at the Closing. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to effect the transactions anticipated by this Section 2.6(d) under all Company Warrant agreements, including delivering all notices required thereby. Within five (5) Business Days following the Effective Date, the Company shall notify the holders of such Company Warrants, which such notice shall be in compliance with the terms of such Company Warrants and shall specify the vested and unvested portions thereof, that such Company Warrants will be cancelled at the Closing. Materials to be submitted to the holders of Company Warrants in connection with the notice required under this Section 2.6(d) shall be subject to review and reasonable approval by Parent.
(ii) All Company Warrants that pursuant to their terms provide for assumption of such warrant in connection with the Merger (the “Assumed Warrants”) shall be assumed by Parent and converted into a warrant to purchase Parent Common Stock. Each Assumed Company Warrant will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting), except that (A) each Assumed Company Warrant shall be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share) and (B) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Company Warrant shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Company Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent); provided, however, that the terms of each of the Company Warrants will provide (x) for an equitable adjustment in the event that any Escrow Shares are delivered by the Escrow Agent to a Parent Indemnified Party so that the holder of such Company Warrant will bear a pro rata portion (relative to the Total Outstanding Shares) of the aggregate indemnifiable Damages giving rise to such delivery of Escrow Shares and (y) upon exercise of such Company Warrant, a portion of the Company Stock issued upon such exercise (equal to the portion of Escrow Shares then held in the Escrow Account relative to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock previously delivered to the Company Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement) will be retained by Parent in escrow and transferred to either Parent or the holder of such Company Warrant, as applicable, at the same time and in the same relative proportion as the Escrow Shares are transferred out of the Escrow Account.
Company Stock Plans (a) Each option to purchase Company Common Stock (“Company Stock Options”) granted under any stock option plans or other equity-related plans of the Company (the “Company Stock Plans”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (without regard to the exercise price of such Company Stock Option) in exchange for the right to receive at the Effective Time, in accordance with this Section 2.9, a lump sum cash payment in the amount of the Option Consideration (as defined below), if any, with respect to such Company Stock Option.
(b) Each holder of a Company Stock Option shall receive from the Purchaser or the Parent, in respect and in consideration of each Company Stock Option so cancelled, promptly following the Effective Time (but in any event not later than 10 Business Days), an amount (net of applicable taxes) equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration per share of Company Common Stock over (B) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option (whether or not then vested or exercisable), without any interest thereon (the “Option Consideration”). In the event that the exercise price of any Company Stock Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Stock Option shall be cancelled, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof, and have no further force or effect.
(c) As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall mail to each Person who is a holder of Company Stock Options a letter describing the treatment of and payment for such Company Stock Options pursuant to this Section 2.9 and providing instructions for use in obtaining payment for such Company Stock Options, which letter shall be subject to the Parent’s prior review and comment. The Parent shall at all times from and after the Effective Time maintain sufficient liquid funds to satisfy its obligations to holders of Company Stock Options pursuant to this Section 2.9.
(d) Each Restricted Share granted pursuant to the Company Stock Plans outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and free of any vesting or other lapse restrictions immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(e) If the Effective Time occurs on or before the “Exercise Date” relating to the applicable “Plan Period” in effect as of the date of this Agreement (as such terms are defined in the Company ESPP) and there are “Options” (as defined in the Company ESPP) then outstanding with respect to such Plan Period, the Company Board shall, prior to such Effective Time, take such actions as are necessary to provide that all outstanding Options shall be cancelled as of the Closing Date, provided that notice of such cancellation shall be given to each holder of an Option, and to the extent that such holder does not elect to withdraw his or her participation in the Company ESPP prior to the Effective Time, then such Option shall be deemed to have been exercised in full on the Closing Date based on payroll deductions then credited to his or her account as of a date determined by the Company Board, which date shall not be less than ten (10) days preceding the Closing Date. The Company Board shall terminate the Company ESPP prior to the Effective Time. No new “Plan Period” shall commence after the date of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, “Company ESPP” means the Company’s Restated 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
(f) As of the Effective Time, the Company Stock Plans shall terminate and all rights under any provision of any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall be cancelled.
Adjustment of Exercise Price, Number of Shares of Common Stock or Number of the Company Warrants The Exercise Price, the number of shares covered by each Warrant and the number of Warrants outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 3 of the Warrant Certificate. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 3 of the Warrant Certificate, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the shares contained in Section 3 of the Warrant Certificate and the provisions of Sections 7, 11 and 12 of this Agreement with respect to the shares of Common Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares. All Warrants originally issued by the Company subsequent to any adjustment made to the Exercise Price pursuant to the Warrant Certificate shall evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable from time to time hereunder upon exercise of the Warrants, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
Options and Convertible Securities The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Subsection 4.4.3, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing
(i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by
(ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
