  • Equity Incentive Subject to the terms of any applicable agreement, [a] the Executive may exercise any outstanding stock options that are vested when the Executive became Disabled and [b] those that would have been vested on the last day of the fiscal year during which the Executive becomes Disabled if the Executive had not become Disabled.

  • Equity Incentive Plans Each stock option granted by the Company under the Company’s equity incentive plan was granted (i) in accordance with the terms of the Company’s equity incentive plan and (ii) with an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date such stock option would be considered granted under GAAP and applicable law. No stock option granted under the Company’s equity incentive 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, stock options prior to, or otherwise knowingly coordinate the grant of stock options with, the release or other public announcement of material information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries or their financial results or prospects.

  • Equity Incentive Plan The Option is a Nonqualified Option and subject to each and every provision of the Equity Incentive Plan which are incorporated by reference herein, as well as the terms and provisions set forth in this Stock Option Agreement and Notice of Grant (this “Stock Option Agreement”). The Equity Incentive Plan shall govern and be conclusive as to all matters not expressly provided for in this Stock Option Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Stock Option Agreement and the Equity Incentive Plan, the terms of this Stock Option Agreement shall govern. All capitalized terms contained herein which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Equity Incentive Plan. By accepting the Option you agree to be bound by the provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan and this Stock Option Agreement. A copy of the Equity Incentive Plan has been previously provided to you.

  • Equity Incentive Awards The Executive shall be eligible to receive grants of equity-based long-term incentive awards, which may include options to purchase Company stock, performance or restricted stock units and Company restricted stock contributions to Company’s deferred compensation plan, or other equity-based awards. Such awards shall be determined in the discretion of the Board and the Executive shall be eligible for consideration for such awards in the same manner as other senior executive officers of the Company. In the event of a Change of Control in which the surviving or acquiring corporation does not assume the Executive’s outstanding equity-related awards (including options and equity-based awards granted both before and after the Effective Date) or substitute similar equity-related awards of substantially equivalent value, such equity-related awards shall immediately vest and become exercisable if the Executive’s service with the Company has not terminated before the effective date of the Change of Control; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall only apply if the Company is not the surviving corporation or if shares of the Company’s common stock are converted into or exchanged for other securities or cash.

  • Equity Incentive Compensation Upon the Closing, each incentive award in respect of the common stock of Seller Parent (a “Seller Parent Equity Award”) held by a Transferred Employee shall become vested or eligible to vest (subject to the satisfaction of any applicable performance goals) in a prorated amount, determined based on the number of days in the applicable vesting period elapsed as of the Closing Date. Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser or its Affiliates shall grant to each Transferred Employee an equity- or cash-based incentive award (a “Make-Whole Award”) with a grant date fair value that is no less favorable than the value of the portion of the Seller Parent Equity Awards forfeited by the Transferred Employee in connection with the Closing (which forfeited amount shall be disclosed to Purchaser Parent no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing), which Make-Whole Award shall have terms and conditions that are no less favorable than the terms and conditions (including vesting schedule and accelerated vesting terms) that were applicable to the corresponding Seller Parent Equity Award. In the event that the post-Closing transfer of a Delayed Transfer Employee results in a larger portion of the Seller Parent Equity Awards held by such Delayed Transfer Employee becoming vested upon such Delayed Transfer Employee’s transfer of employment than if the employment of such Delayed Transfer Employee had transferred upon the Closing, then the incremental cost of such additional vesting (which cost shall be measured based on the taxable income the Delayed Transfer Employee either realized or would have realized had such awards been settled or exercised upon such Delayed Transfer Employee’s transfer of employment to Purchaser or its Subsidiaries) shall be considered Purchaser Assumed Employee Liabilities.

(b) Subject to Section 3.6, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to make all payments to former holders of Company Equity Awards required under Section 3.2(a) as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event, no later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, in accordance with the foregoing and the terms of the applicable Company Equity Plans pursuant to which such Company Equity Awards were issued. (c) As soon as practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall take all actions with respect to the ESPP that are necessary to provide that (i) with respect to the Purchase Period (as defined in the ESPP) in effect on the date hereof (“Current Purchase Period”), no individual may enroll in the ESPP after the date hereof with respect to such Current Purchase Period and no participant may increase the percentage amount of his or her payroll deduction election from that in effect on the date hereof for such Current Purchase Period and (ii) no new offering period shall be commenced under the ESPP after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time. If the Effective Time is expected to occur prior to the end of the Current Purchase Period, the Company shall take action to provide for an earlier exercise date (including for purposes of determining the Purchase Price (as defined in the ESPP) for the Current Purchase Period) (such earlier date, the “Early ESPP Exercise Date”).
