Transfer of Employment Notwithstanding any other provision ---------------------- herein to the contrary, the Company shall cease to have any further obligation or liability to the Executive under this Agreement if (a) the Executive's employment with the Company terminates as a result of the transfer of his employment to any other Affiliate of the Corporation, (b) this Agreement is assigned to such other Affiliate, and (c) such other Affiliate expressly assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no assignment had taken place. Any Affiliate to which this Agreement is so assigned shall be treated as the "Company" for all purposes of this Agreement on or after the date as of which such assignment to the Affiliate, and the Affiliate's assumption and agreement to so perform this Agreement, becomes effective.
Transfer of Employees Take all reasonably necessary steps to transfer to Purchaser the employment of all Employees electing to continue their employ with Purchaser as of the Closing Date;
Employee Stock Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors, including the Lead Preferred Director, all future employees and consultants of the Company who purchase, receive options to purchase, or receive awards of shares of the Company’s capital stock after the date hereof shall be required to execute restricted stock or option agreements, as applicable, providing for (i) vesting of shares over a four (4) year period, with the first twenty-five percent (25%) of such shares vesting following twelve (12) months of continued employment or service, and the remaining shares vesting in equal quarterly installments over the following thirty-six (36) months, and (ii) a market stand-off provision substantially similar to that in Subsection 2.11. In addition, unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors, including the Lead Preferred Director, the Company shall retain a “right of first refusal” on employee transfers until the IPO and shall have the right to repurchase unvested shares at cost upon termination of employment of a holder of restricted stock.
Offer of Employment To the extent a Designated Employee is not party to an employment agreement with a Transferor that is a Transferred Contract, the Transferor Parties shall cooperate with the Acquiring Parties and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain on behalf of the Acquiring Parties the acceptance of an offer of employment by any Designated Employees that the Acquiring Parties may hereafter elect to employ, and the Transferor Parties consent to the Acquiring Parties or any of their respective Affiliates communicating directly with such Designated Employees about offers of employment commencing ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date or such earlier date as the Transferors may agree to in their sole discretion. The Acquiring Parties shall make offers of employment to the Designated Employees on terms and conditions to be determined by the Acquiring Parties, provided that each offer of employment is on terms and conditions substantially similar to, and, considered on an overall basis, no less favorable than the Designated Employee’s terms and conditions of employment with the Transferor Parties. The Acquiring Parties shall recognize each Designated Employee’s service with the Transferring Parties for the purposes of calculating all statutory entitlements and the Acquiring Parties shall assume liability for each Designated Employee’s accrued entitlement to annual leave, long service leave and personal leave. The Transferor Parties agree to release each Designated Employee from his or her employment effective from the date on which the Designated Employee will commence employment with the Acquiring Parties. Each Principal has agreed by his execution of this Agreement to execute and deliver at Closing an employment agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Employment Agreement”), to Parent or, if directed by Parent, one of Parent’s Affiliates. Except for obligations to the Transferors, to the Knowledge of the Transferors, the Principals are not obligated under or bound by any agreement or instrument, or any judgment, decree, or order of any court of administrative agency, that (a) conflicts or may conflict with their agreements and obligations to use their commercially reasonable efforts to promote the interests of the Acquiring Parties, (b) conflicts or may conflict with the business or operations of the Acquiring Parties, or (c) restricts or may restrict the use or disclosure of any information that may be useful to the Acquiring Parties. Without regard to whether the Acquiror employs the Principals or the Designated Employees, the Transferors shall be solely responsible for all outstanding payments due to the Principals and the Designated Employees under their existing terms of employment with the Transferors (including but not limited to salary, severance obligations or any other payment, except as otherwise provided for in this Section 5.4) through the Closing Date and the Transferor Parties acknowledge and agree that none of the Acquiring Parties shall assume or in any fashion be bound by any employment Contract between a Transferor and the Principals or a Designated Employee.
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.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the board of directors of the Company (or the appropriate committee thereof) shall take all necessary actions, including adopting any necessary resolutions and amendments, to (i) terminate the 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Stock Purchase Plan”) as of no later than immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) ensure that no option period under the Stock Purchase Plan shall be commenced on or after the date of this Agreement, (iii) if the Effective Time shall occur prior to the end of the option periods in existence under the Stock Purchase Plan on the date of this Agreement, cause a new exercise date to be set under the Stock Purchase Plan, which date shall be the end of the payroll period that is at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated Effective Time, (iv) prohibit participants in the Stock Purchase Plan from altering their payroll deductions from those in effect on the date of this Agreement (other than to discontinue their participation in the Stock Purchase Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Plan), (v) provide that the amount of the accumulated contributions of each participant under the Stock Purchase Plan as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, to the extent not used to purchase shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Plan (as amended pursuant to this Section 2.11), be refunded to such participant as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time (without interest); and (vi) ensure that no current or former employees, officers, directors or other service providers of Company and its Subsidiaries or their beneficiaries have any right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock under the Stock Purchase Plan.
