Stock Options and Restricted Stock In the event that (a) USPI elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5, (b) there is a “Change of Control Event” (as defined below) or (c) USPI terminates Employee without the notice required under Section 5 or without Cause under Section 7, then in each such event, all USPI stock options held by Employee and all restricted stock awards made to him/her by USPI (including issued subject to forfeiture) shall thereupon automatically be amended so as to (i) cause to vest, immediately prior to the date of such Change in Control Event or such termination of employment, all then unvested stock options and restricted stock awards, and (ii) provide Employee 90 days to exercise such options (or such greater period as may be provided by the terms of such options). For purposes of the foregoing, the term “Change of Control Event” shall mean (A) a consolidation or merger of USPI with or into any other corporation (other than a merger which will result in the voting capital stock of USPI outstanding immediately before the effective date of such consolidation or merger being converted into more than 50% of the voting capital stock of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such consolidation or merger), (B) a sale of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company as an entirety in a single transaction or in a series or related transactions to any other “person” or (C) the acquisition of “beneficial ownership” by any “person” or “group” of voting stock of the Company representing more than 50% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of such voting stock, whether by way of merger of consolidation or otherwise. As used herein, (x) the terms “person” and “group” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), whether or not applicable, (y) the term “beneficial owner” shall have the meaning set forth in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, whether or not applicable, except that a person shall be deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of all shares that any such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time or upon the occurrence of certain events, and (z) any “person” or “group” will be deemed to beneficially own any voting stock so long as such person or group beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate a majority of the voting stock of a registered holder of such voting stock.
Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units The Executive acknowledges that as of the Resignation Date, the Executive was vested in Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) as reflected in the report attached as Exhibit A hereto. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Executive’s rights with respect to Stock Options and RSUs issued to him/her are governed by the Stock Option and Restricted Stock Unit Agreements entered into between the Executive and the Company, and the applicable Company equity incentive plan(s) and Notice(s) of Grant.
Options; Restricted Stock All of Executive’s then outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Options”) shall immediately vest and become exercisable (that is, in addition to the shares subject to the Options which have vested and become exercisable as of the date of such termination), but in no event shall the number of shares subject to such Options which so vest exceed the total number of shares subject to such Options. Additionally, all of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock then held by Executive subject to a Company right of repurchase (the “Restricted Stock”) shall immediately vest and have such Company right of repurchase with respect to such shares of Restricted Stock lapse (that is, in addition to the shares of Restricted Stock which have vested as of the date of such termination), but in no event shall the number of shares which so vest exceed the number of shares of Restricted Stock outstanding immediately prior to such termination.
Stock Options; Restricted Stock The foregoing benefits are intended to be in addition to the value of any options to acquire Common Stock of the Company, the exercisability of which is accelerated pursuant to the terms of any stock option agreement, any restricted stock the vesting of which is accelerated pursuant to the terms of the restricted stock agreement, and any other incentive or similar plan heretofore or hereafter adopted by the Company.
Payment of Restricted Stock Units Payment of Restricted Stock Units that vest pursuant to this Section shall be made in Shares (or, if applicable, settlement in the same consideration paid to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Change in Control), as soon as practicable following the applicable vesting date. The Restricted Stock Units are intended to be exempt from application of Section 409A of the Code, and any ambiguities set forth herein shall be interpreted accordingly. However, to the extent that an exemption is not available and the Restricted Stock Units are “deferred compensation” subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the following provisions shall apply and shall supersede anything to the contrary set forth herein and in the Plan to the extent required for the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. In a Change in Control or Corporate Transaction the Award must be assumed, continued or substituted by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation and any Shares scheduled to be issued upon an applicable scheduled Vest Date may not be earlier issued unless the Change in Control or Corporate Transaction is also a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as described in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(iv) and an exemption is available and elected under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B) or such earlier issuance of the Shares is otherwise permitted by Section 409A of the Code. The Company retains the right to provide for earlier issuance of Shares in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code.
Dividend Restrictions No subsidiary of the Company is prohibited or restricted, directly or indirectly, from paying dividends to the Company, or from making any other distribution with respect to such subsidiary’s equity securities or from repaying to the Company or any other subsidiary of the Company any amounts that may from time to time become due under any loans or advances to such subsidiary from the Company or from transferring any property or assets to the Company or to any other subsidiary.
Terms of Restricted Stock Units The grant of RSUs provided in Section 1 hereof shall be subject to the following terms, conditions and restrictions:
Special Provisions Relating to the Holders of Incentive Distribution Rights Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights (a) shall (i) possess the rights and obligations provided in this Agreement with respect to a Limited Partner pursuant to Articles III and VII and (ii) have a Capital Account as a Partner pursuant to Section 5.5 and all other provisions related thereto and (b) shall not (i) be entitled to vote on any matters requiring the approval or vote of the holders of Outstanding Units, (ii) be entitled to any distributions other than as provided in Sections 6.4(a)(v), (vi) and (vii), 6.4(b)(iii), (iv) and (v), and 12.4 or (iii) be allocated items of income, gain, loss or deduction other than as specified in this Article VI.
Settlement of Restricted Stock Units 6.1 Subject to Section 9 hereof, promptly following the vesting date, and in any event no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such vesting occurs, the Company shall (a) issue and deliver to the Grantee the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Vested Units; and (b) enter the Grantee’s name on the books of the Company as the shareholder of record with respect to the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Grantee.
