Stock and Stock Options. If, at the time of an Eligible Termination, the Executive holds stock in Bcom3 (or stock in a successor corporation or a new parent holding company), then the Executive will become entitled to hold his or her stock subject to the least restrictive provisions that are then applicable to any group of employees (or former employees) of Bcom3; provided, however, that, if the Executive is still -------- ------- subject to a "never lapse" restriction for federal income tax purposes at the time of the Eligible Termination, such restriction will not lapse solely by reason of the Eligible Termination, and instead the Executive will become entitled to hold his or her shares, subject to such restriction, for up to 10 years thereafter. Example 1. If the current provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement --------- survive a Change in Control, so that the Executive remains subject to a "never lapse" restriction, then the Executive will become entitled to have his or her Eligible Termination treated as an "Agreed Separation" for purposes of the Stock Purchase Agreement. Example 2. If a public company uses its stock to acquire Bcom3 in a --------- Change in Control transaction, and a group of Bcom3 employees (or former employees) have come to hold their new public company shares free of any repurchase and transfer restrictions (or perhaps subject only to transfer restrictions coterminous with their noncompete and nonsolicitation covenants), and the Executive is no longer subject to a "never lapse" restriction at the time of his or her Eligible Termination, then the Executive will be entitled to hold his or her public company shares subject to the least restrictive such provisions. If the Executive holds stock options in Bcom3 (or "rollover" stock options in a successor corporation or a new parent holding company) at the time of an Eligible Termination, then (a) the Executive will be deemed to have immediately satisfied any remaining vesting or other similar conditions to the full exercisability of his or her stock options, (b) the Executive will remain entitled to exercise his or her options until the final expiration date that would have applied if he or she had remained an employee, and (c) the Executive will be entitled, upon exercise of his or her stock options, to hold the resulting shares of stock subject to the same provisions that would have applied if he or she had held stock (instead of stock options) in Bcom3 (or a successor corporation or a new parent holding company) at the time of the Eligible Termination.
