Acceleration of Equity Awards All: (i) outstanding and unvested options to purchase Common Stock granted to Executive under any equity plan of the Company, (ii) unvested shares of restricted Common Stock awarded to the Executive under any equity plan of the Company, and (iii) other equity and equity equivalent awards then held by the Executive, shall be accelerated in full, and thereafter all such options, shares of restricted Common Stock and other equity awards shall be immediately vested and exercisable for such period of time as provided for by the specific agreements governing each such award, upon Executive’s termination pursuant to Sections 11(b), (c), (e) or (f) hereof.
Accelerated Vesting of Equity Awards One hundred percent (100%) of Executive’s then-outstanding and unvested Equity Awards will become vested in full. If, however, an outstanding Equity Award is to vest and/or the amount of the award to vest is to be determined based on the achievement of performance criteria, then the Equity Award will vest as to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the Equity Award assuming the performance criteria had been achieved at target levels for the relevant performance period(s).
Termination of Award In the event that the Employee shall forfeit all or a portion of the restricted stock units subject to the Award, the Employee shall promptly return this Agreement to the Company for cancellation. Such cancellation shall be effective regardless of whether the Employee returns this Agreement.
Termination of Employment; Change in Control (i) For purposes of the grant hereunder, any transfer of employment by the Optionee among the Corporation and the Subsidiaries shall not be considered a termination of employment. Except as set forth below in this Section 4(c)(i), if the Optionee's employment with the Corporation shall terminate for any reason, (a) the Option (to the extent then vested) may be exercised at any time within ninety (90) days after such termination (but not beyond the Term of the Option) and (b) the Option, to the extent not then vested, shall immediately expire upon such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if the Optionee's employment with the Corporation is terminated for Cause (as defined in the last Section hereof), the Option, whether or not then vested, shall be automatically terminated as of the date of such termination of employment, (b) if the Optionee's employment terminates by reason of Retirement, the termination of the Optionee's employment by the Company other than for Cause, or the termination of the Optionee's employment by the Optionee for Good Reason (as defined in the last Section hereof), the Option shall remain exercisable for three years from the date of such termination of employment (but not beyond the Term of the Option) and (c) if the Optionee dies or becomes Disabled (A) while employed by the Corporation or (B) within 90 days after the termination of his or her employment (other than a termination described in clause (a) or (b) of this sentence), the Option may be exercised at any time within one year after the Optionee's death or Disability (but not beyond the Term of the Option).
(ii) If the Optionee's employment terminates by reason of death, Disability, Retirement, the termination of the Optionee's employment by the Company other than for Cause, or the termination of the Optionee's employment by the Optionee for Good Reason, the Option shall become fully and immediately vested and exercisable. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the last Section hereof), the Option shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable.
Equity Awards You will be eligible to receive awards of stock options or other equity awards pursuant to any plans or arrangements the Company may have in effect from time to time. The Board or Committee, as applicable, will determine in its sole discretion whether you will be granted any such equity awards and the terms of any such award in accordance with the terms of any applicable plan or arrangement that may be in effect from time to time.

(i) each option to acquire Shares, other than awards under the Company’s 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) (each such option, a “Company Stock Option”), and each other equity award or right measured by the value of Shares (or pursuant to which Shares may be delivered) (including deferred units or similar rights or awards of non-employee directors), other than awards under the ESPP (collectively, “Company Equity Awards”), that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time shall vest in full at the Effective Time;
(ii) each Company Stock Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that has an exercise price per Share that is less than the Merger Consideration shall be cancelled, without any action on the part of the holder of such Company Stock Option, and, in exchange therefor, the former holder of such cancelled Company Stock Option shall be entitled to receive (without interest), in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Stock Option, an amount in cash (less applicable tax withholdings pursuant to Section 3.6) equal to the product of (x) the total number of Shares subject to the unexercised portion of such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (determined after giving effect to the accelerated vesting described in Section 3.2(a)(i) above) multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price per Share under such Company Stock Option;
(iii) each Company Stock Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that has an exercise price per Share that is greater than or equal to the Merger Consideration shall be cancelled at the Effective Time, without any action on the part of the holder of such Company Stock Option, and the holder of such Company Stock Option shall not be entitled to receive any payment in exchange for such cancellation; and
(iv) each Company Equity Award, other than a Company Stock Option, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled, and the former holder of such cancelled Company Equity Award shall be entitled, in exchange therefor, to receive (without interest) an amount in cash (less applicable tax withholdings pursuant to Section 3.6) equal to the product of (x) the total number of Shares subject to (or deliverable under) such Company Equity Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (determined after giving effect to the accelerated vesting described in Section 3.2(a)(i) above) multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration.
(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”). The Early ESPP Exercise Date shall be as close to the Effective Time as is administratively practicable. The Company shall suspend the commencement of any future Purchase Period (as defined in the ESPP) unless and until this Agreement is terminated and shall terminate the ESPP as of the Effective Time.
