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.
Vested Company Options No Vested Company Options shall be assumed or continued by Parent and the Company in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby. Each Vested Company Option outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive at the Effective Time with respect to each share subject thereto, subject to the execution and delivery by such Company Option Holder of an option cancellation agreement (which shall include a release) in a form mutually acceptable to Parent and the Company (an “Option Cancellation Agreement”), an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the excess, if any, of the Per Share Common Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of such Company Option over the per share exercise price of such Vested Company Option (such excess amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Vested Company Option Cash Out Amount”), subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 1.6. Vested Company Options with a per share exercise price greater than or equal to the Per Share Common Consideration shall be cancelled without consideration. The payment of the Vested Company Option Cash Out Amount to any holder of Vested Company Options shall be paid at such time(s) provided in this Agreement to the Surviving Corporation for further payment to the holders of Employee Company Options through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll processing system net of applicable Tax withholding and deductions, and in respect of Non-Employee Company Options, shall be paid to the Payment Agent for further payment to the Non-Employee Company Option Holders. For purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of consideration payable in respect of each Vested Company Option pursuant to this Section 1.3(c), (x) all shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of the Vested Company Options held by each holder of Vested Company Options shall be aggregated and (y) the amount of cash to be paid to each such holder of Vested Company Options shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent.
Employee Options There are two (2) options available to an employee who is otherwise eligible for disability insurance benefits which are as follows:
Key Employees The Adviser is not aware that (i) any of its executives, key employees or significant group of employees plans to terminate employment with the Adviser or (ii) any such executive or key employee is subject to any noncompete, nondisclosure, confidentiality, employment, consulting or similar agreement that would be violated by either the Adviser’s present or proposed business activities, except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have an Adviser Material Adverse Effect.

Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13(a) hereto, since December 31, 2003, the Company has not (i) increased the salary or other compensation payable or to become payable to or for the benefit of any of the Employees, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (ii) increased the term or tenure of employment for any Employee, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (iii) increased the amounts payable to any of the Employees upon the termination of any such person’s employment or (iv) adopted, increased, augmented or improved benefits granted to or for the benefit of any of the Employees under any Benefit Plan (as such term is defined herein).

All such plans, agreements, programs, policies and arrangements shall be collectively referred to as the “TD Banknorth Benefit Plans.”
Termination of Employees Employment For purposes of this Section 3.1(d), the term “pro rata portion” shall mean, with respect to any award of time-vested RSUs, time- vested RSAs or time-vested options, a percentage, when expressed as a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and after the date that begins the vesting period applicable to such installment of RSUs, RSAs or options during which Employee was an employee of the Company, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the vesting period(s) applicable to such installment of RSUs, RSAs or options assuming Employee had been an employee throughout such vesting period and no event or other matter occurred that would accelerate the vesting of such award. Any options that vest pursuant to this Section 3.1(d) shall remain exercisable through the post-termination exercise period set forth in or contemplated by the agreement evidencing the option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any payments, awards or benefits are owed or required to be settled or delivered to Employee under Section 3.3 hereof, then Employee shall not be entitled to any payment or benefit under this Section 3.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any payments, awards or benefits are owed or required to be settled or delivered to Employee under Section 3.1(c) and (d) and Employee has attained Retirement Eligibility, then Employee shall be entitled to the greater of the payment or benefit under Section 3.1(c) and (d), determined on an aggregate basis with respect to the Eligible RSAs, on the one hand, or Section 3.2, determined on an aggregate basis with respect to the Eligible RSAs, on the other hand. Solely for purposes of this paragraph, the determination of the Eligible RSAs shall assume that the date of Retirement Termination of Employment shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date of the termination of his or her employment regardless of whether such termination occurred due to a Termination of Employee’s Employment or a Retirement Termination of Employment. 3.2
Employee Stock Option Plan Employee shall be entitled to participate in the Employee Stock Option Plan of the Company once approved by the Board of Directors.
Employees; Benefit Plans (a) Following the Closing Date, BHB may choose to maintain any or all of the LSBG Benefit Plans in its sole discretion. Effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, LSBG shall terminate any LSBG Benefit Plans for which participant consent is not required and that BHB has requested to be terminated by providing written notice to LSBG at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date. No later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, LSBG shall provide BHB with evidence that such LSBG Benefit Plans have been terminated. However, for any LSBG Benefit Plan terminated for which there is a comparable BHB Benefit Plan of general applicability (other than the defined benefit pension plan or any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements maintained by BHB), BHB shall take all reasonable action so that employees of LSBG shall be entitled to participate in such BHB Benefit Plan to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of BHB (it being understood that inclusion of the employees of LSBG in the BHB Benefit Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans). BHB shall cause each BHB Benefit Plan in which employees of LSBG are eligible to participate to take into account for purposes of eligibility and vesting under the BHB Benefit Plans (but not for purposes of benefit accrual) the service of such employees with LSBG and its Subsidiaries to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by LSBG (other than for the defined benefit pension plan or any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements maintained by BHB); provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Nothing herein shall limit the ability of BHB to amend or terminate any of the LSBG Benefit Plans or BHB Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms at any time; provided, however, that BHB shall continue to maintain the LSBG Benefit Plans (other than stock-based or incentive plans and the defined benefit pension plan and any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements) for which there is a comparable BHB Benefit Plan until the LSBG Employees are permitted to participate in the BHB Benefit Plans, unless such BHB Benefit Plan has been frozen or terminated with respect to similarly-situated employees of BHB or any Subsidiary of BHB.
