• Restricted Stock Grant As a member of Employer’s senior management team, Employee will be eligible for annual Restricted Stock Grants pursuant to Anaren’s 2004 Comprehensive Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended (“2004 Plan”) equal in value to 22% of his Base Salary for the respective year.

All Restricted Stock grants issued pursuant to this provision will be subject to the terms of the 2004 Plan, including, but not limited to, a thirty-six (36) month forfeiture provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event Employee’s employment concludes on or after the expiration of the Period of Employment, Employee shall be entitled if the forfeiture period has not otherwise lapsed only to a pro rata portion of each unvested Restricted Stock Grant based on the number of months employed by Employer from the date of grant to the expiration of the Period of Employment date.

• Employee Stock Options (a) At the Effective Time, each Eligible Stock Option that is then outstanding under the Company Option Plan, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by Parent in accordance with the terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) of the Company Option Plan and the stock option agreement by which such Eligible Stock Option is evidenced. All rights with respect to Company Common Stock under outstanding Eligible Stock Options shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to Parent Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time, (a) each Eligible Stock Option assumed by Parent may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock, (b) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such assumed Eligible Stock Option shall be equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Eligible Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, (c) the per share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each such assumed Eligible Stock Option shall be determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Eligible Stock Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent, and (d) all restrictions on the exercise of each such assumed Eligible Stock Option shall continue in full force and effect, and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Eligible Stock Option shall otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that each such assumed Eligible Stock Option shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected by Parent after the Effective Time. The Company and Parent shall take all action that may be necessary (under the Company Option Plan and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.6.
