Vesting of Awards. All stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and similar awards granted to Executive by the Company prior to the date of a Change in Control shall, notwithstanding any contrary provision of any applicable plan or agreement covering any such stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units or similar awards, fully vest and become exercisable in full immediately prior to such Change in Control and shall remain outstanding and in effect in accordance with their terms, and any restrictions, deferral limitations, forfeiture conditions or other conditions or criteria applicable to any such awards shall lapse immediately prior to such Change in Control. Executive may exercise any such stock options or other exercisable awards at any time before the expiration of their term. After a Change in Control, if any option (the "Terminated Option") relating to the Company's capital stock does not remain outstanding, the successor to the Company or its then Parent shall, at the Executive's option and in his sole discretion, either: (a) issue an option (the "Successor Option"), to purchase common stock of such successor or Parent in an amount such that on exercise of the Successor Option the Executive would receive the same number of shares of the successor's/Parent's common stock as the Executive would have received had the Executive exercised the Terminated Option immediately prior to the transaction resulting in the Change in Control and received shares of such successor/Parent in such transaction. The aggregate exercise price for all of the shares covered by such Successor Option shall equal the aggregate exercise price of the Terminated Option. The term of such Successor Option shall equal the remainder of the term of the Terminated Option (as if the Terminated Option had remained outstanding) and such Successor Option shall be fully vested and exercisable in full on the date of its grant; or (b) pay the Executive a bonus within ten (10) days after the consummation of the Change in Control, in an amount agreed to by the Company and the Executive. Such amount shall be at least equivalent on an after-tax basis to the net after-tax gain that the Executive would have realized if he had been issued a Successor Option under clause (a) above and had immediately exercised such Successor Option and sold the underlying stock, taking into account the different tax rates that apply to such bonus and to such gain, and such amount shall also reflect other differences to the Executive between receiving a bonus under this clause (b) and receiving a Successor Option under clause (a) above.
