Common use of Exercise and Tax Withholding Clause in Contracts

Exercise and Tax Withholding. The Option may be exercised in whole or in part by notice to Best Buy (through the Plan administrator or other means as shall be specified by Best Buy from time-to-time) stating the number of shares to be purchased under the Option and the method of payment. The notice must be accompanied by payment in full of the exercise price for all shares designated in the notice. Payment of the exercise price may be made by cash, check or delivery of previously owned shares of stock having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price, or a combination thereof. The Option will not be eligible for treatment as a qualified or incentive stock option for federal income tax purposes. You are liable for any federal and state income or other taxes applicable upon the grant or exercise of the Option or the disposition of the underlying shares, and you acknowledge that you should consult with your own tax advisor regarding the applicable tax consequences. Upon exercise of the Option, Best Buy will withhold from the shares that would otherwise be delivered to you a number of shares having a fair market value equal to the amount of all applicable taxes required by Best Buy to be withheld or collected upon the exercise of the Option, unless your notice of exercise indicates your desire to satisfy such withholding obligations through the payment of cash or the delivery of previously acquired shares of Best Buy common stock, and such cash or shares are delivered to Best Buy promptly thereafter. You have no rights in the shares subject to the Option until such shares are received upon exercise of the Option.
