Company Stock Plans (a) Each option to purchase Company Common Stock (“Company Stock Options”) granted under any stock option plans or other equity-related plans of the Company (the “Company Stock Plans”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (without regard to the exercise price of such Company Stock Option) in exchange for the right to receive at the Effective Time, in accordance with this Section 2.9, a lump sum cash payment in the amount of the Option Consideration (as defined below), if any, with respect to such Company Stock Option. (b) Each holder of a Company Stock Option shall receive from the Purchaser or the Parent, in respect and in consideration of each Company Stock Option so cancelled, promptly following the Effective Time (but in any event not later than 10 Business Days), an amount (net of applicable taxes) equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration per share of Company Common Stock over (B) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option (whether or not then vested or exercisable), without any interest thereon (the “Option Consideration”). In the event that the exercise price of any Company Stock Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Stock Option shall be cancelled, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof, and have no further force or effect. (c) As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall mail to each Person who is a holder of Company Stock Options a letter describing the treatment of and payment for such Company Stock Options pursuant to this Section 2.9 and providing instructions for use in obtaining payment for such Company Stock Options, which letter shall be subject to the Parent’s prior review and comment. The Parent shall at all times from and after the Effective Time maintain sufficient liquid funds to satisfy its obligations to holders of Company Stock Options pursuant to this Section 2.9. (d) Each Restricted Share granted pursuant to the Company Stock Plans outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and free of any vesting or other lapse restrictions immediately prior to the Effective Time. (e) If the Effective Time occurs on or before the “Exercise Date” relating to the applicable “Plan Period” in effect as of the date of this Agreement (as such terms are defined in the Company ESPP) and there are “Options” (as defined in the Company ESPP) then outstanding with respect to such Plan Period, the Company Board shall, prior to such Effective Time, take such actions as are necessary to provide that all outstanding Options shall be cancelled as of the Closing Date, provided that notice of such cancellation shall be given to each holder of an Option, and to the extent that such holder does not elect to withdraw his or her participation in the Company ESPP prior to the Effective Time, then such Option shall be deemed to have been exercised in full on the Closing Date based on payroll deductions then credited to his or her account as of a date determined by the Company Board, which date shall not be less than ten (10) days preceding the Closing Date. The Company Board shall terminate the Company ESPP prior to the Effective Time. No new “Plan Period” shall commence after the date of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, “Company ESPP” means the Company’s Restated 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. (f) As of the Effective Time, the Company Stock Plans shall terminate and all rights under any provision of any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall be cancelled.
Merger Sub Common Stock At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub (“Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.
Merger Sub Stock Each share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one (1) duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
Future Stock Incentive Plans Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or applied to preclude or restrain the Corporation from adopting, modifying or terminating stock incentive plans for the benefit of employees, directors or other business associates of the Corporation, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates. The Members acknowledge and agree that, in the event that any such plan is adopted, modified or terminated by the Corporation, amendments to this Section 3.10 may become necessary or advisable and that any approval or consent to any such amendments requested by the Corporation shall be deemed granted by the Manager and the Members, as applicable, without the requirement of any further consent or acknowledgement of any other Member.
Parent Common Stock At and after the Effective Time, each share of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain an issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and shall not be affected by the Merger.
Stock Plans (a) At the Effective Time, the Stock Plans (other than the ESPP) and each Option which is outstanding thereunder immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether or not then vested or exercisable) shall, subject to Schedule 5.8(a), be assumed by Parent. Each such Option so assumed by Parent under this Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Stock Plans and the stock option agreements, immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) such Option will be exercisable for that number of whole Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Option Exchange Ratio and rounded down to the nearest whole number of Parent Ordinary Shares, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the Parent Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such assumed Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Except as set forth in Section 5.8 of the Disclosure Schedule, neither the Merger nor the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will terminate any of the outstanding Options under the Stock Plans or accelerate the exercisability or vesting of such Options or the Parent Ordinary Shares which will be subject to those Options upon Parent’s assumption of the Options in the Merger. It is the intention of the parties that the Options so assumed by Parent hereunder qualify, to the maximum extent permissible, following the Effective Time as “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent such Options qualified as incentive stock options prior to the Effective Time. (b) For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Option Exchange Ratio” shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Merger Consideration by the Parent Fair Market Value, and (ii) “Parent Fair Market Value” means the average closing selling price per share of Parent Ordinary Shares as quoted on the London Stock Exchange for the ten (10) trading days preceding the Closing Date (as converted to U.S. Dollars at the Currency Exchange Rate as quoted in the New York edition of The Wall Street Journal on the Effective Date).
Company Capital Stock “Company Capital Stock” shall mean the Company Common Stock and the Company Preferred Stock.

The General Partner may implement such plans and any actions taken under such plans (such as the grant or exercise of options to acquire REIT Shares, or the issuance of restricted REIT Shares), whether taken with respect to or by an employee or other service provider of the General Partner, the Partnership or its Subsidiaries, in a manner determined by the General Partner, which may be set forth in plan implementation guidelines that the General Partner may establish or amend from time to time. The Partners acknowledge and agree that, in the event that any such plan is adopted, modified or terminated by the General Partner, amendments to this Agreement may become necessary or advisable and that any approval or Consent to any such amendments requested by the General Partner shall be deemed granted by the Limited Partners. The Partnership is expressly authorized to issue Partnership Units (i) in accordance with the terms of any such stock incentive plans, or (ii) in an amount equal to the number of REIT Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities issued pursuant to any such stock incentive plans, without any further act, approval or vote of any Partner or any other Persons.
