Company Option Plans At the Effective Time, all options (the "Company Options") then outstanding, whether or not vested and exercisable, under the Company's 1982 Stock Option Plan, 1992 Stock Option Plan, 1993 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors and the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, in each case as in effect on the date hereof (collectively, the "Company Option Plans"), shall be assumed by Parent. Each Company Option assumed by Parent, other than Company Options issued pursuant to the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, shall be subject to, and exercisable upon, the same terms and conditions as under the applicable Company Option Plan and the applicable option agreement issued thereunder, except that (a) each assumed Company Option shall be exercisable for, and represent the right to acquire, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio; and (b) the option price per share of Parent Common Stock subject to each assumed Company Option shall be an amount equal to (i) the option price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). The Company represents and warrants that each of the foregoing actions may be taken and effected by the Company without the consent of any holder of Company Options. Each assumed purchase right under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall continue to have, and be subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the documents governing the assumed purchase right, except that the purchase price of such shares of Parent Common Stock for each respective purchase date under each assumed purchase right shall be the lower of (i) the quotient determined by dividing eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of Company Common Stock on the offering date of each assumed offering period by the Exchange Ratio or (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of the Parent Common Stock on each purchase date of each assumed offering period occurring after the Effective Time (with the number of shares rounded to the nearest whole share and the purchase price rounded to the nearest whole cent). The assumed purchase rights shall be exercised at such times following the Effective Time as set forth in the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan and each participant shall, accordingly, be issued shares of Parent Common Stock at such times pursuant to the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall terminate with the exercise of the last assumed purchase right, and no additional purchase rights shall be granted under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan following the Effective Time. Parent agrees that from and after the Effective Time, employees of the Surviving Corporation may participate in Parent's employee stock purchase plan, subject to the terms and conditions of such plan. The adjustment provided herein with respect to Company Options shall be and is intended to be effected in a manner which is consistent with Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The duration, vesting schedule, exercisability and other terms of each Company Option immediately after the Effective Time shall be the same as the corresponding terms in effect immediately before the Effective Time, except that all references to Company in the Company Option Plans (and the corresponding references in the option agreement documenting such option) shall be deemed to be references to Parent. Except as set forth in Section 3.2(d) of the Disclosure Schedule (as defined in Article III hereof), vesting of Company Options shall not be accelerated as a result of the Merger. Continuous employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be credited to the optionee for purposes of determining the vesting of all assumed Company Options after the Effective Time. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Time, Parent will issue to each holder of an assumed Company Option notice of the foregoing assumption by Parent. Parent shall file with the SEC, no later than thirty (30) business days after the Effective Time, a Registration Statement on Form S-8 relating to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to the Company Options assumed by Parent in accordance with this Section 2.6.
Company Options (i) Parent shall not assume any Vested Company Options in connection with the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall take such action as may be necessary so that immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) each Vested Company Option that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and terminated as of the Effective Time and (ii) in consideration of such cancellation and termination, each holder of each such Vested Company Option shall be paid by the Company at or promptly after the Effective Time, subject to Section 3.8(e), an amount in cash (without interest), if any, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Vested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (y) the Offer Price, less the per share exercise price of such Vested Company Option (the “Option Consideration”) (it being understood and agreed that such exercise price shall not actually be paid to the Company by the holder of a Vested Company Option). (ii) In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, but no later than the Effective Time, each Unvested Company Option shall be assumed by Parent (each, an “Assumed Option”). Each such Assumed Option shall, except as otherwise agreed to by Parent and a holder of such Assumed Option, be subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to the related Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the vesting schedule applicable thereto, except that (i) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Assumed Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Assumed Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Incentive Award Exchange Ratio (with the resulting number rounded down to the nearest whole share), and (ii) the per share exercise price of the Parent Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Assumed Option shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Incentive Award Exchange Ratio, with the resulting price per share rounded up to the nearest whole cent. It is the intention of the parties that each Assumed Option so assumed by Parent shall qualify following the Effective Time as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Code and to the extent such Assumed Option qualified as an incentive stock option prior to the Effective Time, and, further, that the assumption of Company Unvested Options pursuant to this Section shall be effected in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Sections 409A and 424(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and this Section 3.7 will be construed consistent with this intent. (iii) With respect to Company Options a portion of which is vested and a portion of which is unvested, this Section 3.7(e) shall be applied by treating the vested portion as a separate Vested Company Option and the unvested portion as a separate Unvested Company Option. (iv) The Company shall take all actions necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 3.7(e) under all Company Option agreements and any other plan or arrangement of the Company, including delivering all required notices and making any determinations and/or resolutions of the Company Board or a committee thereof. Parent shall take all actions reasonably necessary or appropriate to have available for issuance or transfer a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Assumed RSUs and Assumed Options. Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Time), Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or other appropriate form) registering a number of shares of Parent Common Stock necessary to fulfill Parent’s obligations under Section 3.7(d) and this Section 3.7(e).
Option Plans There is no share option plan or similar plan to acquire any additional shares or units or other equity interests, as the case may be, of IEM or securities convertible or exercisable into or exchangeable for, or which otherwise confer on the holder thereof any right to acquire, any such additional shares or units or equity interests, as the case may be.
Share Option Plans Each share option granted by the Company under the Company’s share option plan was granted (i) in accordance with the terms of the Company’s share option plan and (ii) with an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares on the date such share option would be considered granted under GAAP and applicable law. No share option granted under the Company’s share option 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, share options prior to, or otherwise knowingly coordinate the grant of share options with, the release or other public announcement of material information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries or their financial results or prospects.
Vested Options On the next regularly scheduled payroll date of the Surviving Corporation occurring more than five (5) Business Days but less than twenty (20) Business Days following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall pay to each holder of a Vested Option (other than with respect to Non-Withholding Options) for whom Acquiror has received a duly executed Option Termination Agreement an amount in cash equal to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Vested Option multiplied by an amount equal to the difference between (a) the Per Share Closing Consideration, minus (b) the exercise price per share under such Vested Option, minus (c) such holder’s applicable Percentage of the Escrow Amount in respect of such Vested Option (the “Closing Options Payout Amount”). Following the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall cause the applicable Closing Options Payout Amount to be paid to each holder of a Vested Option which is a Non-Withholding Option for whom Acquiror has received a duly executed Option Termination Agreement. The Closing Options Payout Amount payable to each holder of a Vested Option shall be set forth opposite such holder’s name on the Payment Schedule (such consideration subject to adjustment as provided herein and any applicable withholding Taxes). In the event of a conflict between the Payment Schedule and the provisions of this Agreement, the Payment Schedule shall control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended as of the date hereof) (the “Restated Certificate”), Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Equityholder Representative and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on the Payment Schedule as conclusive evidence of amounts payable to the holders of Vested Options pursuant to this Agreement. Each holder of a Vested Option, subject to receipt of a duly executed Option Termination Agreement, shall be entitled to receive with respect to each Vested Option subject thereto, such holder’s Percentage of the Earnout Payments, as and when such payments are required to be made, which amount shall be paid on the same schedule and on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Stockholders generally.
