New Option Plan Sample Clauses

New Option Plan. An option plan representing 10% of the fully-diluted post-closing equity of New Holdings at closing will be adopted. Options would be issued with a strike price equal to fair market value at time of grant (i.e., for options granted at closing, the price per share paid by Apax (the “Closing Price”)). Apax would expect to issue at closing options representing 1.95% of the fully-diluted equity to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and 7.05% of the fully-diluted equity to other members of management, and would reserve the remainder of the pool for later grant in connection with promotions and new hires. Apax would work with Xxxxxx to determine together the initial option allocation amounts to individual managers. For each option grant: two-thirds of the options will be subject solely to time-based vesting in equal annual increments over a five year period from date of grant while the holder remains employed; one-sixth of the options will be subject to this time-based vesting and to Apax receiving a 2x return on its investment; one-twelfth of the options will be subject to the time-based vesting and to Apax receiving a 2.5x return on its investment; and one-twelfth of the options will be subject to the time-based vesting and to Apax receiving a 3x return on its investment. Upon termination of employment, time-based vesting (for both performance options and for solely time-based options) will cease and the options that have not vested under the time-based vesting will be forfeited (performance options that have time-vested will remain subject to the return thresholds being met). The vested portion of performance options will remain outstanding and become exercisable if the performance condition is met. In the case of an exit transaction in the first two years in which Apax achieves a 2x return, the board of directors of New Holdings (“Board”) will consider whether it is appropriate to vest the 2.5x and 3x performance options in the exit transaction. In the case of an exit transaction in the third through fifth years in which Apax achieves a 2x return, the Board will consider whether it is appropriate to ratably vest a portion of the 2.5x and 3x performance options. In either case, the Board will consider all relevant factors, particularly including the IRR achieved by Apax. Time-based vesting (for both performance options and for solely time-based options) will accelerate upon a “change of control,” which will be deemed to occur if, after giving effect to the applicable transaction,...
