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.
Company Equity Awards With respect to any stock options, restricted stock or other equity awards (the “Equity Awards”) granted pursuant to any compensation plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries providing for the issuance of Equity Awards (the “Company Plans”), (A) each grant of an Equity Award was duly authorized no later than the date on which the grant of such Equity Award was by its terms to be effective by all necessary corporate action, and (B) each such grant was made in accordance with the terms of the Company Plans and all other applicable laws and regulatory rules or requirements.
Equity Award The Executive will be eligible to receive equity awards, if any, at such times and on such terms and conditions as the Board shall, in its sole discretion, determine.
Vesting of Equity Awards Notwithstanding the provisions of any plan or agreement governing such an Award (as defined in Section 4(c)), all Awards granted to you that remain outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 4(d)(i)) automatically shall vest in full upon the occurrence of the Change in Control.
Outstanding Equity Awards Executive’s outstanding equity awards shall remain outstanding following the Effective Date in accordance with their terms, provided, that to the extent any term of this Agreement is more favorable to Executive, including in respect to accelerated vesting, the more favorable terms of this Agreement shall control.
Annual Equity Awards Following the first anniversary of the Effective Date, Executive will be granted annual equity awards in an amount determined by the Board. Such awards may be in the form of options, restricted stock units, performance shares, or any other form as approved by the Board.
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).
No Equity Awards Except for grants pursuant to equity incentive plans disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the Company has not granted to any person or entity, a compensatory stock option or other compensatory equity-based award to purchase or receive common stock of the Company or OP Units of the Operating Partnership pursuant to an equity-based compensation plan or otherwise.
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.
Unvested Options At the Effective Time, each option (each, a “Company Stock Option”) to purchase Shares granted under any employee or director stock option, stock purchase or equity compensation plan, arrangement or agreement of the Company, including, without limitation, under the Company’s 2002 Stock Plan, the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and the AirWave Wireless, Inc. 2000 Stock Plan, (the “Company Stock Plans”), that is unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and is held by a person providing services to the Company or its Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become an option with respect to Parent Common Stock, and Parent shall assume each unvested Company Stock Option, in accordance with the terms of the Company Stock Plans and/or stock option agreement by which it is evidenced, except that from and after the Effective Time, (i) Parent and its compensation committee (the “Parent Compensation Committee”) shall be substituted for the Company and the compensation committee of the Company Board administering such Company Stock Plans, (ii) each unvested Company Stock Option assumed by Parent may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock (or cash, if so provided under the terms of such unvested Company Stock Option or required under applicable Law), (iii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such unvested Company Stock Options shall be equal to the number of Shares subject to such unvested Company Stock Options immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share, and (iv) the per share exercise price under each such unvested Company Stock Option shall be adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price under each such unvested Company Stock Option by the Exchange Ratio and rounding up to the nearest cent; provided, however, that with respect to Company Stock Options that are unvested, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and which have an exercise price greater than the Merger Consideration, such unvested Company Stock Options shall not be assumed by Parent and shall automatically terminate as of the Effective Time if not exercised prior to or as of the Effective Time. In addition, each unvested Company Stock Option that is an “incentive stock option” or a nonqualified stock option held by a US taxpayer shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Code and Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the option, within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations under Section 409A of the Code, or otherwise result in negative tax treatment or penalties under Section 424 of the Code or Section 409A of the Code, and clauses (iii) and (iv) of the first sentence of this Section 2.2(a) shall be modified to the extent necessary to ensure such compliance. “Exchange Ratio” means the fraction having a numerator equal to the Merger Consideration and having a denominator equal to the average closing price of Parent Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding (but not including) the Closing Date (the “Parent Closing Price”).
