This excerpt taken from the PRVT DEF 14A filed Nov 3, 2009.

Administration

The 2009 EIP will be administered by our Board. The Board has the authority to grant and amend Awards, to adopt, amend and repeal the rules relating to the 2009 EIP, and to interpret and correct the provisions of the 2009 EIP and any Award. Our Board may delegate authority under the 2009 EIP to one or more committees or subcommittees of our Board. The Board has authorized the Compensation Committee of the Board to administer the 2009 EIP. To the extent permitted by law, the Board may delegate to an officer the power to grant Awards, provided that only the Board may grant Awards to any executive officer of the Company.

The Board is required to make appropriate adjustments in connection with the 2009 EIP and any outstanding Awards to reflect stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, spin-offs and other similar changes in capitalization. Our Board may at any time provide that any Award will become immediately exercisable in full or in part, free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise realizable in full or in part, as the case may be, even if such acceleration may cause adverse tax consequences under Sections 280G, 4999, 422, or other sections of the Code.

Table of Contents

The 2009 EIP also contains provisions addressing the consequences of any acquisition of the Company. In connection with an acquisition of the Company, by merger, sale of all or substantially all the assets or capital stock of the Company, or any other change in control or acquisition of the Company, as determined by the Board, the Board shall make appropriate provision for any outstanding Awards on the same basis or on different basis as our Board determines for:

 

   

continuation of the Awards by the Company;

 

   

assumption or substitution of Awards by the acquirer or surviving entity;

 

   

upon written notice, termination of all unexercised Awards unless the vested portion is exercised within a specified period following the date of such notice;

 

   

a cash payment to the holder of an unexercised Award equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Award and its exercise price, if applicable, or the vested portion thereof, including any vesting that may be accelerated; or

 

   

any combination of the foregoing.
