Stock Vesting Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors, all stock options and other stock equivalents issued after the date of this Agreement to employees, directors, consultants and other service providers shall be subject to vesting as follows: (a) twenty-five percent (25%) of such stock shall vest at the end of the first year following the earlier of the date of issuance or such person’s services commencement date with the Company, and (b) seventy-five percent (75%) of such stock shall vest over the remaining three (3) years.
Exercise Period Vesting 4.1. 1 111,111 Series C Warrants to purchase up to 1,111,111 Warrant Shares (50% of Series C Warrants) shall vest on March 1, 2023 (the “Second Vesting Date”) and be exercisable as of the Second Vesting Date and for three (3) years thereafter, subject to Section 4.3 below.; provided, however, that the Warrants under this Section 4.1 shall expire on the Second Vesting Date in the event the Milestone is not met, and the Partner has notified the Company on its decision to rescind the remaining balance of the Facility;
4.2. 1 111,111 Series C Warrants to purchase up to 1,111,111 Warrant Shares (50% of Series C Warrants) shall vest on September 1, 2023 (the “Third Vesting Date”) and be exercisable as of the Third Vesting Date and for three (3) years thereafter, subject to Section 4.3 below; provided, however, that the Warrants under this Section 4.2 shall expire on the Third Vesting Date in the event the Milestone is not met, and the Partner has notified the Company on its decision to rescind the remaining balance of the Facility; and further provided, that the Warrants under this Section 4.2 shall expire on the Third Vesting Date pro rata to the amounts of Tranches 3-8 which shall have not been actually withdrawn by the Company. By way of illustration only, (a) if the Company, at its sole discretion, withdraws US$0.5 million out of US$2 million of Tranches 3-8 available under the Agreement, than 833,333 Series C Warrants to purchase up to 833,333 Warrant Shares [75% of Series C Warrants under this Section 4.2] shall expire on the Third Vesting Date; and (b) if the Company, at its sole discretion, withdraws US$2 million out of US$2 million of Tranches 3-8 available under the Agreement, than none of Series C Warrants under this Section 4.2 shall expire on the Third Vesting Date;
Time Vesting Subject to Sections 5(b) and 6 below, the RSUs will vest and become nonforfeitable in accordance with and subject to the time vesting schedule set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, subject to the Participant’s continued status as a Service Provider through each applicable vesting date.
General Vesting The Shares of Restricted Stock shall become vested in the following amounts, at the following times and upon the following conditions, provided that the Termination of Service of the Participant does not occur before the applicable date on which the Shares of Restricted Stock become vested (the “Vesting Date”): Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2(b) and 4 hereof, there shall be no proportionate or partial vesting of Shares of Restricted Stock in or during the months, days or periods prior to each Vesting Date, and all vesting of Shares of Restricted Stock shall occur only on the applicable Vesting Date.
Equity Vesting All of the then-unvested shares subject to each of the Executive’s then-outstanding equity awards will immediately vest and, in the case of options and stock appreciation rights, will become exercisable (for avoidance of doubt, no more than 100% of the shares subject to the then-outstanding portion of an equity award may vest and become exercisable under this provision). In the case of equity awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals and other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at the greater of actual performance or 100% of target levels. Unless otherwise required under the next following two sentences or, with respect to awards subject to Section 409A of the Code, under Section 5(b) below, any restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, and/or similar full value awards that vest under this paragraph will be settled on the 61st day following the CIC Qualified Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Executive’s Qualified Termination occurs prior to a Change in Control, then any unvested portion of the Executive’s then-outstanding equity awards will remain outstanding for 3 months or the occurrence of a Change in Control (whichever is earlier) so that any additional benefits due on a CIC Qualified Termination can be provided if a Change in Control occurs within 3 months following the Qualified Termination (provided that in no event will the Executive’s stock options or similar equity awards remain outstanding beyond the equity award’s maximum term to expiration). In such case, if no Change in Control occurs within 3 months following a Qualified Termination, any unvested portion of the Executive’s equity awards automatically will be forfeited permanently on the 3-month anniversary of the Qualified Termination without having vested.
Option Vesting Options shall vest as follows: --------------
(a) 100% of the Options shall vest on the 1st anniversary of the Grant Date;
(b) In the event of any change in control, merger or consolidation between the Company and any other entity (other than one in which the stockholders of the Company prior to such transaction receive, in exchange for their Company shares, stock of the surviving corporation and such stock constitutes more than 50% of the outstanding stock of the surviving corporation following such transaction), or any sale by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets, all Options then held by the Director that have not theretofore vested shall vest five days prior to the earlier of (i) the record date, if any, for such transaction and (ii) the closing date of such transaction, both subject to Section 4(a).
Exercise Period Upon Death or Disability If the Participant dies or becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to the Final Exercise Date while he or she is an Eligible Participant and the Company has not terminated such relationship for “cause” as specified in paragraph (e) below, this option shall be exercisable, within the period of one year following the date of death or disability of the Participant, by the Participant (or in the case of death by an authorized transferee), provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that this option was exercisable by the Participant on the date of his or her death or disability, and further provided that this option shall not be exercisable after the Final Exercise Date.
Vesting Date All remaining shares of Restricted Stock will become vested on the Vesting Date.
Performance Vesting Within sixty (60) days following the completion of the Performance Period, the Plan Administrator shall determine the applicable number of Performance Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Award Notice and Schedule I attached thereto.
