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 Plan The Share Options and this Agreement shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, to the extent the terms of such Plan are not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.
Equity Plans Executive shall be entitled to participate in any equity or other employee benefit plan that is generally available to senior executive officers, as distinguished from general management, of the Company. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Executive’s participation in and benefits under any such plan shall be on the terms and subject to the conditions specified in the governing document of the particular plan.
Treatment of Company Equity Awards (a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company RSU shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent a restricted stock unit denominated in shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted into a restricted stock unit denominated in shares of Parent Common Stock (each, a “Parent RSU”). The number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such Parent RSU shall be equal to the product (rounded to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the Equity Exchange Ratio. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each such Parent RSU shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and forfeiture terms) as were applicable to the corresponding Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, but shall be treated as if a “change in control” has occurred in accordance with Section 6.13(d). Dividend equivalent rights associated with Company RSUs that are denominated in Company RSUs shall be treated consistent with this Section 3.2(b) and such rights denominated in cash shall be provided for in the Parent RSU and shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and forfeiture terms) as were applicable to the corresponding Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time.
Company Stock Plans (a) Effective as of the Effective Time, each outstanding stock option, stock equivalent right or right to acquire Shares (each a “Company Option” and collectively, the “Company Options”) granted under the Company’s 1991 Incentive Stock Option Plan, 1997 Stock Option Plan or 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Company Stock Plans”) or granted outside of a plan, without regard to the extent then vested and exercisable, shall be cancelled and, in consideration of such cancellation, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly following the Effective Time, pay to such holders of Company Options, an amount in respect thereof equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Offer Price over the exercise price of each such Company Option and (y) the number of unexercised Shares subject thereto (such payment, if any, to be net of applicable Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 2.5).
Company Option Plans At the Effective Time, each then outstanding option (collectively, the "Options") to purchase or acquire shares of Company Common Stock under the Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan, as amended, the Company's 1998 Incentive Compensation Plan and the director option to purchase 48,660 shares of Company Common Stock (collectively, the "Option Plans"), whether or not then exercisable or vested, shall be cancelled and shall represent the right to receive in cash an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to each such Option and (ii) the excess of (A) the Common Stock Merger Consideration over (B) the per share exercise price of such Option. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions (including, if appropriate, obtaining any consents from holders of Options or making any amendments to the terms of the Option Plans) that are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, payment may be withheld in respect of any stock option until necessary consents are obtained.
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.
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.
