Company Stock Option Plans Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company Stock Option Plans) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as are required to effect the transactions contemplated by Section 2.10 in respect of all outstanding Options and thereafter the Board of Directors of the Company (or any such committee) shall adopt any such additional resolutions and take such additional actions as are required in furtherance of the foregoing.
Employees and Benefit Plans (a) From and after the Effective Time, Buyer agrees to provide the employees of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries who remain employed after the Effective Time (collectively, the "Company Employees") with at least the types and levels of employee benefits (including employee contribution levels) comparable in the aggregate to those maintained by Buyer for similarly-situated employees of Buyer. Buyer will treat, and cause its applicable benefit plans to treat, the service of the Company Employees with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as service rendered to Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and for level of benefits including, but not limited to, severance benefits, vacation entitlement and applicability of minimum waiting periods for participation (but not for benefit accrual under any defined benefit plan (including minimum pension amount) and not for participation in the Brookline Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan) attributable to any period before the Effective Time. Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the terms and conditions of Buyer's health and similar plans, Buyer shall not treat any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a "new" employee for purposes of any exclusions under any health or similar plan of Buyer for a pre-existing medical condition to the extent that any such exclusion did not apply under a health or similar plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, and any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket expenses paid under any of the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries' health plans shall be credited towards deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket expenses under Buyer's health plans upon delivery to Buyer of appropriate documentation, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Buyer Employee Program.
Company Stock Options At the Effective Time, each Company Stock --------------------- Option shall be deemed to have been assumed by Evergreen, without further action by Evergreen, and shall thereafter be deemed an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Stock Option, that number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock that would have been received in respect of such Company Stock Option if it had been exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (such Company Stock Options assumed by Evergreen, the "Assumed Chancellor Stock Options"); provided, however, that, for -------- ------- each optionholder, (i) the aggregate fair market value of Surviving Corporation Common Stock subject to Assumed Chancellor Stock Options immediately after the Effective Time shall not exceed the aggregate exercise price thereof by more than the excess of the aggregate fair market value of Company Common Stock subject to Company Stock Options immediately before the Effective Time over the aggregate exercise price thereof and (ii) on a share-by-share comparison, the ratio of the exercise price of the Assumed Chancellor Stock Option to the fair market value of the Surviving Corporation Common Stock immediately after the Effective Time is no more favorable to the optionholder than the ratio of the exercise price of the Company Stock Option to the fair market value of the Company Common Stock immediately before the Effective Time; and provided, -------- further, that no fractional shares shall be issued on the exercise of such ------- Assumed Chancellor Stock Option and, in lieu thereof, the holder of such Assumed Chancellor Stock Option shall only be entitled to a cash payment in the amount of such fraction multiplied by the closing price per share of Surviving Corporation Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market on the business day immediately prior to the date of such exercise.
Vested Company Options Immediately prior to but contingent upon the Closing, each Company Option that is unexpired, unexercised and vested immediately prior to the Closing (“Vested Options”) shall, by virtue of the Closing and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, be automatically cancelled, and each Optionholder holding Vested Options shall have the right to receive, with respect to such Vested Options, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Closing Date Purchase Price (subject to withholding of such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share in each of the Adjustment Holdback Amount, the Expense Fund), and (B) the right to receive such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of any cash disbursements that may become payable, with respect to such Vested Options, from the Adjustment Holdback Amount and the Expense Fund, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (C) the right to receive such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of any positive Adjustment Amount that may become payable, with respect to such Vested Options, pursuant to Section 2.8, and (D) the right to receive such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of any Earnout Consideration that may become payable under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.9. The amount of cash that each holder of Vested Options is entitled to receive for such Vested Options will be subject to any applicable payroll, income Tax or other withholding Taxes and the provisions of the Israeli Tax Ruling and/or the Israeli Interim Tax Ruling if obtained. For the avoidance of doubt, an Optionholder’s “Pro Rata Share” for purposes of this Section 2.2(a) shall be calculated based on such Optionholder’s holding of Vested Options (disregarding any shares of the Company or Unvested Options held by such Optionholder).
Treatment of Company Stock Options Immediately after the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company Stock Option”) granted under the Company 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan for Key Employees of the Company and its affiliates (collectively, the “Company Stock Plans”), whether vested or unvested, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent an option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (such option, a “Converted Stock Option”) equal to the product (with the result rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Converted Stock Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Converted Stock Option shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting (and acceleration thereof upon the Closing, to the extent provided therein), forfeiture and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding Company Stock Option at the Effective Time; provided, however, that (1) to the extent that any Company Stock Option that is subject to vesting solely upon achievement of a target price per share of Company Common Stock (such price, the “Target Price” and such Company Stock Option, a “Target Price Option”)) would, by its terms, expire as of the Effective Time, such Target Price Option shall be amended such that it will not expire upon the Effective Time and shall instead become a Converted Stock Option, and remain eligible to vest upon satisfaction of the applicable Target Price, as adjusted to equal the initial Target Price divided by the Exchange Ratio (the “Adjusted Target Price”), (2) all Converted Stock Options held by a Company Employee (other than any Converted Stock Option with an Adjusted Target Price) shall vest in their entirety to the extent such Company Employee undergoes a Covered Termination and (3) all Converted Stock Options with an Adjusted Target Price held by a Company Employee shall be cancelled for no consideration or payment to the extent such Company Employee undergoes any termination of employment (including a Covered Termination) and at the time of such termination, the Adjusted Target Price is not achieved. For purposes hereof, a “Covered Termination” means, with respect to a Company Employee, (A) an involuntary termination of such Company Employee’s employment initiated by the Company that would result in the payment of severance benefits under the applicable Company Benefit Plan under which such Company Employee is eligible for severance benefits or (B) such Company Employee resigns from employment as a result of a material diminution in (I) the duties or responsibilities of such Company Employee as of the date of this Agreement, or (II) the base salary or annual incentive compensation opportunity afforded to such Company Employee as of the date of this Agreement, in each case, to the extent that such termination or resignation occurs on or following the date of this Agreement and on or prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that, in the case of a Company Employee resigning under clause (B) above, (x) the Company Employee shall provide the Surviving Corporation with written notice specifying the circumstances alleged to constitute the applicable material diminution within sixty (60) days following the first (1st) occurrence of such circumstances, (y) the Surviving Corporation shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice to cure such circumstances and (z) if the Surviving Corporation has not cured such circumstances within such thirty (30)-day period, the Company Employee shall terminate his or her employment not later than thirty (30) days after the end of such thirty (30) day period; provided further that any such resignation under clause (B) above shall constitute a Covered Termination with respect to a Company Employee who is not a Covered Company Employee solely if so determined by the Company CEO (subject to his continued employment with the Company, or, following the Closing, with Parent, through such date).
Compensation and Benefit Plans During the period from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the Effective Time, (i) each of Park and First-Knox xxxees as to itself and its Subsidiaries that it will not, without the prior written consent of the other party, enter into, adopt, amend (except for (A) such amendments as may be required by law and (B) plan documents and restatements currently being prepared by First-Knox xxxch do not increase benefits) or terminate any Park Benefit Plan or First-Knox Xxxefit Plan, as the case may be, or any other employee benefit plan or any agreement, arrangement, plan or policy between such party and one or more of its directors or officers, (ii) First-Knox xxxees as to itself and its Subsidiaries that it will not, without, the prior written consent of Park, (A) increase in any manner the compensation or fringe benefits of any director, officer or employee or pay any benefit not required by any plan and arrangement as in effect as of the date hereof (including, without limitation, the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units or performance units or shares), except for normal increases in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice that, in the aggregate, do not result in a material increase in benefits or compensation expense to First-Knox, xx enter into any contract, agreement, commitment or arrangement to do any of the foregoing or (B) enter into or renew any contract, agreement, commitment or arrangement providing for the payment to any director, officer or employee of First-Knox xx compensation or benefits contingent, or the terms of which are materially altered, upon the occurrence of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Employees and Compensation Schedule 3.12 contains a true and complete list of all employees of the Station, their job description, date of hire, salary and amount and date of last salary increase. Schedule 3.12 also contains a true and complete list as of the date of this Agreement of all employee benefit plans or arrangements applicable to the employees of the Station and all fixed or contingent liabilities or obligations of Seller with respect to any person now or formerly employed by Seller at the Station, including pension or thrift plans, individual or supplemental pension or accrued compensation arrangements, contributions to hospitalization or other health or life insurance programs, incentive plans, bonus arrangements, and vacation, sick leave, disability and termination arrangements or policies, including workers' compensation policies, and a description of all fixed or contingent liabilities or obligations of Seller with respect to any person now or formerly employed at the Station or any person now or formerly retained as an independent contractor at the Station.
Company Stock Plans (a) The Company shall take such action as shall be required:
Employees; Benefit Plans (a) Following the Closing Date, BHB may choose to maintain any or all of the LSBG Benefit Plans in its sole discretion. Effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, LSBG shall terminate any LSBG Benefit Plans for which participant consent is not required and that BHB has requested to be terminated by providing written notice to LSBG at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date. No later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, LSBG shall provide BHB with evidence that such LSBG Benefit Plans have been terminated. However, for any LSBG Benefit Plan terminated for which there is a comparable BHB Benefit Plan of general applicability (other than the defined benefit pension plan or any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements maintained by BHB), BHB shall take all reasonable action so that employees of LSBG shall be entitled to participate in such BHB Benefit Plan to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of BHB (it being understood that inclusion of the employees of LSBG in the BHB Benefit Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans). BHB shall cause each BHB Benefit Plan in which employees of LSBG are eligible to participate to take into account for purposes of eligibility and vesting under the BHB Benefit Plans (but not for purposes of benefit accrual) the service of such employees with LSBG and its Subsidiaries to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by LSBG (other than for the defined benefit pension plan or any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements maintained by BHB); provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Nothing herein shall limit the ability of BHB to amend or terminate any of the LSBG Benefit Plans or BHB Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms at any time; provided, however, that BHB shall continue to maintain the LSBG Benefit Plans (other than stock-based or incentive plans and the defined benefit pension plan and any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements) for which there is a comparable BHB Benefit Plan until the LSBG Employees are permitted to participate in the BHB Benefit Plans, unless such BHB Benefit Plan has been frozen or terminated with respect to similarly-situated employees of BHB or any Subsidiary of BHB.
Employee Stock Options (a) At the Effective Time, each Eligible Stock Option that is then outstanding under the Company Option Plan, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by Parent in accordance with the terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) of the Company Option Plan and the stock option agreement by which such Eligible Stock Option is evidenced. All rights with respect to Company Common Stock under outstanding Eligible Stock Options shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to Parent Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time, (a) each Eligible Stock Option assumed by Parent may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock, (b) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such assumed Eligible Stock Option shall be equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Eligible Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, (c) the per share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each such assumed Eligible Stock Option shall be determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Eligible Stock Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent, and (d) all restrictions on the exercise of each such assumed Eligible Stock Option shall continue in full force and effect, and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Eligible Stock Option shall otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that each such assumed Eligible Stock Option shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected by Parent after the Effective Time. The Company and Parent shall take all action that may be necessary (under the Company Option Plan and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.6.
