  • Company Restricted Stock Units At the Effective Time of the First Merger, each Company Restricted Stock Unit then outstanding shall be assumed by Parent (each, an “Assumed RSU”). Subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Company Stock Plan and any applicable award or other agreement, each Assumed RSU shall be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (or an amount in respect thereof for cash settled Company Restricted Stock Unit) equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Restricted Stock Unit multiplied by the Stock Award Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock). Each Company Restricted Stock Unit shall have the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger other than with respect to those Company Restricted Stock Units listed (i) in Section 5.9(c)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule that were subject to performance based vesting conditions prior to the date of this Agreement and that shall be deemed issued and vested in their entirety at the Effective Time of the First Merger and released from any forfeiture rights pertaining to such shares in favor of Company, Parent or Surviving Entity, and (ii) in Section 5.9(c)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, which shall be deemed issued in their entirety at the Effective Time of the First Merger, which shall be converted into the right to receive Parent Common Stock according to the same formula applied to the Assumed RSUs above, and which shall be subject to quarterly vesting over a two-year period following the Effective Date in accordance with the terms of the 2006 Plan. Except as set forth in this Section 5.9(c).

Except as set forth in this Section 5.9(c), all outstanding rights that Company may hold immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger to the forfeiture of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Restricted Stock Unit shall be assigned to Parent in the First Merger and shall thereafter be held by Parent upon the same terms and conditions in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger, except that the shares forfeitable pursuant to such rights shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the Stock Award Exchange Ratio.

  • Restricted Stock Units Subject to the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units”) as of the Grant Date. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share of Common Stock if the Restricted Stock Unit becomes vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement. The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, no dividend rights and no voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units or the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable and such Shares are delivered to the Grantee in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement. The Grantee is required to pay no cash consideration for the grant of the Restricted Stock Units. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Restricted Stock Units and related rights are nontransferable as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement, (ii) the Restricted Stock Units are subject to forfeiture in the event the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates in certain circumstances, as specified in Section 6 of this Agreement, (iii) sales of Shares of Common Stock delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the Company’s policies regulating trading by Employees and Consultants, including any applicable “blackout” or other designated periods in which sales of Shares are not permitted, (iv) Shares delivered in settlement will be subject to any recoupment or “clawback” policy of the Company, regardless of whether such recoupment or “clawback” policy is applied with prospective or retroactive effect, and (v) any entitlement to dividend equivalents will be in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement. The extent to which the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units becomes vested and non-forfeitable shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.

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.
