Company Options (a) At the Effective Time, each Company Option, whether vested or unvested, will be assumed by NetRatings as contemplated by this Section 5.7. Section 5.7 of the Company Disclosure Schedule hereto sets forth a true and complete list as of the date of this Agreement of all holders of outstanding Company Options, including the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to each such option, the exercise or vesting schedule, the exercise price per share and the term of each such Company Option. On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to NetRatings an updated Section 5.7 of the Company Disclosure Schedule hereto current as of such date. Each such Company Option so assumed by NetRatings under this Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the Company Option Plan and any other document governing such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) such Company Option will be exercisable for that number of whole shares of NetRatings Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Common Exchange Ratio and rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of NetRatings Common Stock, (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of NetRatings Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share at which such Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Common Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole tenth of a cent, and (iii) the term, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Company Option shall remain unchanged, provided that all outstanding Options shall be exercisable as of the Effective Time to the extent vested as of the Effective Time and will continue to become exercisable as they vest after the Effective Time. Consistent with the terms of the Company Option Plan and the documents governing the outstanding Company Options, the Merger will not result in the termination of any of the outstanding Company Options or, except as contemplated by the preceding sentence, the acceleration of the exercisability or vesting of such Company Options upon NetRatings' assumption of the Company Options in the Merger. Within 20 business days after the Effective Time, NetRatings will issue to each person who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, was a holder of an outstanding Company Option a document in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to ACN evidencing the foregoing assumption of such Company Option by NetRatings. (b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, but in any event within 30 days thereafter, NetRatings shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate forms), with respect to the shares of NetRatings Common Stock subject to the Company Options assumed by NetRatings and shall use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses in connection therewith) for so long as the assumed Company Options remain outstanding.
Exercisability Schedule No portion of this Stock Option may be exercised until such portion shall have become exercisable. Except as set forth below, and subject to the discretion of the Administrator (as defined in Section 2 of the Plan) to accelerate the exercisability schedule hereunder, this Stock Option shall be exercisable with respect to the following number of Option Shares on the dates indicated so long as the Optionee remains an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary on such dates: * Max. of $100,000 per yr. Once exercisable, this Stock Option shall continue to be exercisable at any time or times prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date, subject to the provisions hereof and of the Plan.
Coverage Options Eligible employees may select coverage under any one of the dental plans offered by the Employer, including health maintenance organization plans, the State Dental Plan, or other dental plans. Coverage offered through health maintenance organization plans is subject to change during the life of this Agreement upon action of the health maintenance organization and approval of the Employer after consultation with the Joint Labor/Management Committee on Health Plans. However, actuarial reductions in the level of HMO coverages effective during the term of this Agreement, including increases in copayments, require approval of the Joint Labor/Management Committee on Health Plans. Coverage offered through the State Dental Plan is determined by Section 7A2.
Commencement of Exercisability (a) Subject to Sections 3.1(b), 3.1(c) and 3.3, the Option shall become vested and exercisable in such amounts and at such times as are set forth in the Grant Notice. (b) No portion of the Option which has not become vested and exercisable at the date of the Participant’s Termination of Services shall thereafter become vested and exercisable, except as may be otherwise provided by the Administrator or as set forth in a written agreement between the Company and the Participant. [
Treatment of Company Options Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt appropriate resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that, at the Effective Time, each unexpired and unexercised Company Option shall become fully vested and exercisable and shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Company Option shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of such cancellation, payments in cash (subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law to be withheld) equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock previously subject to such Company Option multiplied by (ii) the amount by which the Option In-The-Money Amount, calculated as of the Effective Time and recalculated, if applicable, in connection with any recalculation of the Common Merger Consideration, exceeds the exercise price of such Company Option (for the avoidance of doubt, without duplication of any amounts previously paid to holders of such Company Options in accordance herewith). Any such amount payable hereunder with respect to any Company Option shall be referred to as an “Option Payment”, and the aggregate of all such amounts payable hereunder shall be referred to as the “Option Payments”. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will make available to the Surviving Corporation the cash to be delivered in respect of the Option Payments based on the calculation of the Common Merger Consideration at the Effective Time (the “Closing Option Payments”). Option Payments following the Effective Time shall be made on or about the same dates, and subject to the same terms, as payments of the Merger Consideration to the holders of Company Capital Stock. Any Company Options shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the applicable Option Payments in accordance with this Section 2.6(d), which for the avoidance of doubt includes the right to receive payments in connection with any Excess Payment or any release of funds from the General Escrow Account or the Equityholders’ Representative Escrow Account. At the Effective Time, all Company Option Plans shall be terminated and no further Company Options shall be granted thereunder. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of Company Options to enter into a written agreement effectuating the foregoing, and the payment of the Option Payment to each holder of Company Options shall be subject to such holder’s execution and delivery of such agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (such agreement, an “Option Holder Letter”).
Renewal Options a. Tenant shall have the right and option to renew the Lease (“Renewal Option”) for two (2) successive renewal periods of five (5) years each (each, an “Option Term”); provided, however, the Renewal Option is contingent upon the following: (i) there is not an Event of Default beyond all applicable cure period(s) at the time Tenant gives Landlord notice of Tenant’s intention to exercise the Renewal Option or at the expiration of the current Term; (ii) no event has occurred that upon notice or the passage of time would constitute an Event of Default, unless Landlord has given notice of default and Tenant is diligently attempting to cure such event; and (iii) Tenant is occupying the Premises. Following expiration of the final Option Term allowable hereunder, Tenant shall have no further right to renew the Lease pursuant to this Section 5. b. Tenant shall exercise the Renewal Option by giving Landlord notice at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the current Term. If Tenant fails to give notice to Landlord prior to the 180-day period, then Tenant shall forfeit the Renewal Option. If Tenant exercises the Renewal Option, then during the Option Term, Landlord and Tenant’s respective rights, duties and obligations shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Lease, except as provided otherwise in this Section. Time is of the essence in exercising the Renewal Option. c. The Base Rental for an Option Term shall be the Fair Market Rental Rate. “Fair Market Rental Rate” shall mean the market rental rate for the time period such determination is being made for office space in same class office buildings in the area of Murfreesboro, Tennessee (the “Area”) of comparable condition for space of equivalent quality, size, utility, and location. Such determination shall take into account all relevant factors, including, without limitation, the following matters: the credit standing of Tenant; the length of the term; the fact that Landlord will experience no vacancy period and that Tenant will not suffer the costs and business interruption associated with moving its offices and negotiating a new lease; construction allowances and other tenant concessions that would be available to tenants comparable to Tenant in the Area (such as moving expense allowance, free rent periods, and lease assumptions and take over provisions, if any, but specifically excluding the value of improvements installed in the Premises at Tenant’s cost), and whether adjustments are then being made in determining the rental rates for renewals in the Area because of concessions being offered by Landlord to Tenant (or the lack thereof for the Option Term in question). For purposes of such calculation, it will only be assumed that Landlord is paying a representative of Tenant a brokerage commission in connection with the Option Term in question if Landlord is in fact paying a brokerage commission to a representative of Tenant in connection with the applicable Option Term.
Share Options With respect to the share options (the “Share Options”) granted pursuant to the share-based compensation plans of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Company Share Plans”), (i) each Share Option intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), so qualifies, (ii) each grant of a Share Option was duly authorized no later than the date on which the grant of such Share Option was by its terms to be effective (the “Grant Date”) by all necessary corporate action, including, as applicable, approval by the board of directors of the Company (or a duly constituted and authorized committee thereof) and any required shareholder approval by the necessary number of votes or written consents, and the award agreement governing such grant (if any) was duly executed and delivered by each party thereto, (iii) each such grant was made in accordance with the terms of the Company Share Plans, the Exchange Act, and all other applicable laws and regulatory rules or requirements, including the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), and (iv) each such grant was properly accounted for in accordance with IFRS in the financial statements (including the related notes) of the Company. The Company has not knowingly granted, and there is no and has been no policy or practice of the Company of granting, Share Options prior to, or otherwise coordinating the grant of Share Options with, the release or other public announcement of material information regarding the Company or its subsidiaries or their results of operations or prospects.
