Treatment of Company Equity Awards (a) Except as provided in Section 2.4(d), as of the Effective Time, each option to purchase Company Common Stock (a “Company Stock Option”) granted under any Company Equity Plan that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into a stock option (a “Parent Stock Option”) to acquire Parent Stock in accordance with this Section 2.4. Each such Parent Stock Option as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (but taking into account any changes thereto provided for in the applicable Company Equity Plan, in any award agreement or in such Company Stock Option by reason of this Agreement or the Transactions). As of the Effective Time, each such Parent Stock Option as so assumed and converted shall be for that number of whole shares of Parent Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Stock Award Exchange Ratio, which product shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share, at a per share exercise price determined by dividing the per share exercise price of such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Stock Award Exchange Ratio, which quotient shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent; provided, however, that each Company Stock Option (A) which is an “incentive stock option” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall be adjusted in accordance with the requirements of Section 424 of the Code and (B) shall be adjusted in a manner which complies with Section 409A of the Code.
Grant of Company Reacquisition Right Except to the extent otherwise provided by the Superseding Agreement, if any, in the event that the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason or no reason, with or without cause, the Participant shall forfeit and the Company shall automatically reacquire all Units which are not, as of the time of such termination, Vested Units (“Unvested Units”), and the Participant shall not be entitled to any payment therefor (the “Company Reacquisition Right”).

Stock Options and Restricted Stock (a) Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Employer without Cause or as a result of a Constructive Termination without Cause, all restrictions on any Equity Award granted or issued by the Employer or any of the Participating Subsidiaries to the Employee after the Effective Date, including any transferability or vesting restrictions, immediately shall lapse. The Executive additionally shall have the immediate right to exercise any Employer stock options in full (without regard to any restriction on the underlying stock, and whether granted under this Agreement or otherwise), whether or not any such option is fully exercisable on the date of termination, for the remainder of the original full maximum term of each such stock option. In addition, in the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason within one (1) year following the consummation of a Change in Control (including, without limitation, the date of the consummation) then the Executive shall be entitled, at the Executive’s option and without the preclusion or reduction of any benefit otherwise available to him under this Agreement (pursuant to Section 12.6 or otherwise), to exercise all options granted previously to the Executive during the longest period permissible under the terms of the plan under which such options were issued from the Change in Control Closing Date, and additionally to freely transfer any options held, directly or indirectly, by the Executive as of the Change in Control Closing Date.
Stock Options; Restricted Stock The foregoing benefits are intended to be in addition to the value of any options to acquire Common Stock of the Company, the exercisability of which is accelerated pursuant to the terms of any stock option agreement, any restricted stock the vesting of which is accelerated pursuant to the terms of the restricted stock agreement, and any other incentive or similar plan heretofore or hereafter adopted by the Company.
RESTRICTIONS ON EMPLOYMENT OF FORMER STATE OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE The Engineer shall not hire a former state officer or employee of a state agency who, during the period of state service or employment, participated on behalf of the state agency in this agreement’s procurement or its negotiation until after the second anniversary of the date of the officer’s or employee’s service or employment with the state agency ceased.
Treatment of Company Options Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt appropriate resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that, at the Effective Time, each unexpired and unexercised Company Option shall become fully vested and exercisable and shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Company Option shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of such cancellation, payments in cash (subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law to be withheld) equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock previously subject to such Company Option multiplied by (ii) the amount by which the Option In-The-Money Amount, calculated as of the Effective Time and recalculated, if applicable, in connection with any recalculation of the Common Merger Consideration, exceeds the exercise price of such Company Option (for the avoidance of doubt, without duplication of any amounts previously paid to holders of such Company Options in accordance herewith). Any such amount payable hereunder with respect to any Company Option shall be referred to as an “Option Payment”, and the aggregate of all such amounts payable hereunder shall be referred to as the “Option Payments”. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will make available to the Surviving Corporation the cash to be delivered in respect of the Option Payments based on the calculation of the Common Merger Consideration at the Effective Time (the “Closing Option Payments”). Option Payments following the Effective Time shall be made on or about the same dates, and subject to the same terms, as payments of the Merger Consideration to the holders of Company Capital Stock. Any Company Options shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the applicable Option Payments in accordance with this Section 2.6(d), which for the avoidance of doubt includes the right to receive payments in connection with any Excess Payment or any release of funds from the General Escrow Account or the Equityholders’ Representative Escrow Account. At the Effective Time, all Company Option Plans shall be terminated and no further Company Options shall be granted thereunder. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of Company Options to enter into a written agreement effectuating the foregoing, and the payment of the Option Payment to each holder of Company Options shall be subject to such holder’s execution and delivery of such agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (such agreement, an “Option Holder Letter”).
Treatment of Equity Awards Upon a Change of Control, all equity awards with time-based vesting shall immediately fully vest and become non-forfeitable and each equity award which has been granted (or any other equity award which would otherwise have been granted to the Executive during the applicable performance period/calendar year in the ordinary course) with performance vesting shall vest at an amount based upon and to the extent of the Employers’ achievement of performance goals during the performance period under each such equity award through the end of the calendar month immediately preceding the Change in Control.
