Accelerated Vesting Notwithstanding the terms of any Award Agreement heretofore or hereafter granted to the Executive, in the event of a Change of Control, all Options and Restricted Stock granted to the Executive which do not constitute deferred compensation for Code Section 409A purposes shall become fully vested on the date of the Change of Control. The Executive shall have the right to exercise any such Options in a manner provided for in the applicable Award Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 9(a) and the terms of any Award Agreement granted to the Executive, the terms of this Section 9(a) shall control and govern.
Equity Vesting Acceleration Vesting acceleration (and exercisability, as applicable) as to 100% of the then-unvested shares subject to each of the Executive’s then-outstanding Company equity awards subject to only time-based (and not performance-based) vesting. In the case of equity awards with performance-based vesting, such awards will be treated as set forth in the applicable award agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of the Executive’s Qualifying Pre-CIC Termination, any unvested portion of the Executive’s then-outstanding equity awards will remain outstanding until the earlier of (x) ninety (90) days following the Qualifying Termination or (y) the occurrence of a Change in Control, solely so that any benefits due on a Qualifying Pre-CIC Termination can be provided if a Change in Control occurs within the ninety (90) day period following the Qualifying 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). If no Change in Control occurs within the ninety (90) day period following a Qualifying Termination, any unvested portion of the Executive’s equity awards automatically and permanently will be forfeited on the ninetieth (90th) day following the date of the Qualifying Termination without having vested.
Option Acceleration One hundred percent (100%) of the shares subject to all Options granted to the Employee by the Company prior to the Change of Control shall immediately become vested and exercisable in full upon such Involuntary Termination. Following such acceleration, the Options shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s stock option plans and the applicable option agreements between the Employee and the Company.
Accelerated Vesting of Equity Awards One hundred percent (100%) of Executive’s then-outstanding and unvested Equity Awards will become vested in full. If, however, an outstanding Equity Award is to vest and/or the amount of the award to vest is to be determined based on the achievement of performance criteria, then the Equity Award will vest as to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the Equity Award assuming the performance criteria had been achieved at target levels for the relevant performance period(s).
Termination of Option and Accelerated Vesting This Option will terminate upon the expiration date, except as set forth in the following provisions:
Vesting Acceleration Effective on such termination, the Executive shall receive accelerated vesting equivalent to six (6) months of service beyond the date of Executive’s termination with respect to the shares subject to any grant of restricted stock or stock options (each, an “Equity Grant”) granted to the Executive, regardless of whether granted prior to, coincident with, or after, the Effective Date; provided, however, that in the event such termination occurs within one (1) year following a Change of Control, then one hundred percent (100%) of the remaining shares subject to each such Equity Grant shall become vested in full and the period during which the Executive is permitted to exercise (if applicable) any such Equity Grant shall be extended until the earlier of (i) ten (10) years from the date of grant, or (ii) the expiration date of such Equity Grant (as of the date of grant).
Option Vesting Options shall vest as follows:
Change in Control Vesting The shares of Common Stock underlying each Tranche of Performance Shares may also vest on an accelerated basis in accordance with the applicable provisions of Paragraph 4 of this Agreement should a Change in Control occur after the start but prior to the completion of the Performance Period applicable to that particular Tranche or the Certification Date. Issuance Date: The shares of Common Stock which actually vest and become issuable pursuant to each Tranche of Performance Shares shall be issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the particular circumstances under which such vesting occurs.
Exercise Period Vesting Unless expired as provided in Section 3 of this Agreement, this Option may be exercised from time to time after the Date of Grant set forth above (the "DATE OF GRANT") to the extent the Option has vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth below. The Shares issued upon exercise of the Option will be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 11 below. Provided Participant continues to provide Continuous Service to the Company or any Affiliate, the Option will become vested as follows: PERCENTAGE OF VESTING DATE VESTED SHARES ------------ ------------- % % %
Stock Option Vesting The provisions of this Section 2.2(d) shall apply to any equity based awards under the Omnibus Plan, the defined terms of which are incorporated in this Section 2.2(d) by reference.
