Equity Incentives To the extent the Company adopts and maintains a share incentive plan, the Executive will be eligible to participate in such plan pursuant to the terms thereof.
Equity Incentive Awards The Executive shall be eligible to receive grants of equity-based long-term incentive awards, which may include options to purchase Company stock, performance or restricted stock units and Company restricted stock contributions to Company’s deferred compensation plan, or other equity-based awards. Such awards shall be determined in the discretion of the Board and the Executive shall be eligible for consideration for such awards in the same manner as other senior executive officers of the Company. In the event of a Change of Control in which the surviving or acquiring corporation does not assume the Executive’s outstanding equity-related awards (including options and equity-based awards granted both before and after the Effective Date) or substitute similar equity-related awards of substantially equivalent value, such equity-related awards shall immediately vest and become exercisable if the Executive’s service with the Company has not terminated before the effective date of the Change of Control; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall only apply if the Company is not the surviving corporation or if shares of the Company’s common stock are converted into or exchanged for other securities or cash.
Equity Incentive Subject to the terms of any applicable agreement, [a] the Executive may exercise any outstanding stock options that are vested when the Executive became Disabled and [b] those that would have been vested on the last day of the fiscal year during which the Executive becomes Disabled if the Executive had not become Disabled.
Equity Incentive Plans Each stock option granted by the Company under the Company’s equity incentive plan was granted (i) in accordance with the terms of the Company’s equity incentive plan and (ii) with an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date such stock option would be considered granted under GAAP and applicable law. No stock option granted under the Company’s equity incentive plan has been backdated. The Company has not knowingly granted, and there is no and has been no Company policy or practice to knowingly grant, stock options prior to, or otherwise knowingly coordinate the grant of stock options with, the release or other public announcement of material information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries or their financial results or prospects.
Equity Incentive Plan The Option is a Nonqualified Option and subject to each and every provision of the Equity Incentive Plan which are incorporated by reference herein, as well as the terms and provisions set forth in this Stock Option Agreement and Notice of Grant (this “Stock Option Agreement”). The Equity Incentive Plan shall govern and be conclusive as to all matters not expressly provided for in this Stock Option Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Stock Option Agreement and the Equity Incentive Plan, the terms of this Stock Option Agreement shall govern. All capitalized terms contained herein which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Equity Incentive Plan. By accepting the Option you agree to be bound by the provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan and this Stock Option Agreement. A copy of the Equity Incentive Plan has been previously provided to you.
Equity Incentive Compensation Upon the Closing, each incentive award in respect of the common stock of Seller Parent (a “Seller Parent Equity Award”) held by a Transferred Employee shall become vested or eligible to vest (subject to the satisfaction of any applicable performance goals) in a prorated amount, determined based on the number of days in the applicable vesting period elapsed as of the Closing Date. Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser or its Affiliates shall grant to each Transferred Employee an equity- or cash-based incentive award (a “Make-Whole Award”) with a grant date fair value that is no less favorable than the value of the portion of the Seller Parent Equity Awards forfeited by the Transferred Employee in connection with the Closing (which forfeited amount shall be disclosed to Purchaser Parent no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing), which Make-Whole Award shall have terms and conditions that are no less favorable than the terms and conditions (including vesting schedule and accelerated vesting terms) that were applicable to the corresponding Seller Parent Equity Award. In the event that the post-Closing transfer of a Delayed Transfer Employee results in a larger portion of the Seller Parent Equity Awards held by such Delayed Transfer Employee becoming vested upon such Delayed Transfer Employee’s transfer of employment than if the employment of such Delayed Transfer Employee had transferred upon the Closing, then the incremental cost of such additional vesting (which cost shall be measured based on the taxable income the Delayed Transfer Employee either realized or would have realized had such awards been settled or exercised upon such Delayed Transfer Employee’s transfer of employment to Purchaser or its Subsidiaries) shall be considered Purchaser Assumed Employee Liabilities.
Equity Compensation All unvested equity awards, including, but not limited to, stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards held by Employee on the Date of Termination shall be deemed vested and exercisable on such Date of Termination as if Employee had been employed for an additional six (6) months following the Date of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any option, right or award would, as a result of such accelerated vesting and exercisability no longer qualify for exemption under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, then the deemed acceleration of the vesting of such option, right or award shall apply but such option, right or award shall not become exercisable until the earliest date on which it could become exercisable and also qualify for exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act, unless Employee instead timely elects to receive a single lump sum cash payment equal to the value of such option, right or award, in lieu of the equity interest that Employee would otherwise receive but for the lack of an exemption under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Any repurchase rights held by the Company on stock owned or options exercised by Employee shall be canceled on the Date of Termination. To the extent the acceleration of vesting and exercisability described in this Section 4(b)(ii) does not otherwise violate the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, this Agreement shall serve as an amendment to all of Employee’s outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards, repurchase rights, and stock appreciation rights as of the Date of Termination.
Incentive Bonuses After the Company attains profitability, the Employee shall be eligible to be considered for an annual incentive bonus. Such bonus (if any) shall be awarded based on objective or subjective criteria established in advance by the Board or its Compensation Committee. The determinations of the Board or its Compensation Committee with respect to such bonus shall be final and binding. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Employee shall not be entitled to an incentive bonus if he is not employed by the Company on the date when such bonus is payable.
Incentive Bonus Plan Employee shall be eligible for a bonus opportunity of up to 65% of his annual base salary in accordance with the Company’s Incentive Bonus Plan as modified from time to time, payable in cash and/or equity of the Company (at the Company’s discretion). The bonus payment and the Company’s targeted performance shall be determined and approved by the Board or the compensation committee thereof.
Vesting Generally LTIP Units may, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be issued subject to vesting, forfeiture and additional restrictions on Transfer pursuant to the terms of an award, vesting or other similar agreement (a “Vesting Agreement”). The terms of any Vesting Agreement may be modified by the General Partner from time to time in its sole discretion, subject to any restrictions on amendment imposed by the relevant Vesting Agreement or by the Plan, if applicable. LTIP Units that were fully vested when issued or that have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture under the terms of a Vesting Agreement are referred to as “Vested LTIP Units”; all other LTIP Units shall be treated as “Unvested LTIP Units.”
