Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Company shall take all requisite action with respect to the Company’s 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the “Company ESPP”), to ensure that (i) all outstanding Company Purchase Rights (as defined in Section 4.02) will be exercised no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Expiration Date, (ii) no Company Purchase Rights will be issued and outstanding as of the Expiration Date, (iii) conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing, the Company ESPP will be terminated no later than the Effective Time, and (iv) no additional offering periods shall commence on or after the Expiration Date. The Company shall deliver to Parent prior to the Expiration Date sufficient evidence that the Company ESPP will be terminated as of the Effective Time, conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing. In addition, prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions (including, if appropriate, amending the terms of the Company ESPP and the terms of any offering period(s) commencing prior to the Expiration Date) that are necessary to provide that, as of the Effective Time, participants and former participants in the Company ESPP shall cease to have any right or interest thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all actions taken and all amendments made pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall be taken or made in compliance with Sections 423 and 424 of the Code and so as not to result in a “modification” under such Sections. All Shares issued in connection with the exercise of the Company Purchase Rights shall be, at the Effective Time, converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with, and pursuant to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Employee Stock Unless otherwise approved by the Board, 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, 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.
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.
Share Option Plans Each share option granted by the Company under the Company’s share option plan was granted (i) in accordance with the terms of the Company’s share option plan and (ii) with an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares on the date such share option would be considered granted under GAAP and applicable law. No share option granted under the Company’s share option plan has been backdated. The Company has not knowingly granted, and there is no and has been no Company policy or practice to knowingly grant, share options prior to, or otherwise knowingly coordinate the grant of share options with, the release or other public announcement of material information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries or their financial results or prospects.
Stock Option Plans Each stock option granted by the Company under the Company’s stock option plan was granted (i) in accordance with the terms of the Company’s stock option plan and (ii) with an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date such stock option would be considered granted under GAAP and applicable law. No stock option granted under the Company’s stock option plan has been backdated. The Company has not knowingly granted, and there is no and has been no Company policy or practice to knowingly grant, stock options prior to, or otherwise knowingly coordinate the grant of stock options with, the release or other public announcement of material information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries or their financial results or prospects.
Retirement Savings Plan Within fifteen (15) days after the date of Termination of Employment, the Company shall pay to Employee a cash payment in an amount, if any, necessary to compensate Employee for the Employee’s unvested interests under the Company’s retirement savings plan which are forfeited by Employee in connection with the Termination of Employment.
