Exercise of Stock Options If stock options granted in connection with a Stock Incentive Plan are exercised:
Exercise of Nonstatutory Stock Option There may be a regular ------------------------------------- federal income tax liability upon the exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option. The Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. If Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee's compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.
Vesting and Exercise of Option The Option shall vest and become exercisable during its term in accordance with the following provisions:
Exercise of SARs Upon exercise of a SAR, the Participant (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive from the Company (a) Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price.
Exercise of Stock Option (a) The Optionee may exercise this Option only in the following manner: from time to time on or prior to the Expiration Date of this Option, the Optionee may give written notice to the Board of Directors or its authorized committee (the “Administrator”) of his or her election to purchase some or all of the vested Option Shares purchasable at the time of such notice. This notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased. Payment of the Stock Option purchase price for the Option Shares may be made by one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator; (ii) in the form of shares of Stock that are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan and that have been held by the Optionee for at least six months prior to the exercise date; or (iii) by the Optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Administrator to pay the Stock Option purchase price, provided that in the event the Optionee chooses to pay the Stock Option purchase price as so provided in this subsection (iii), the Optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure. Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. The delivery of certificates representing the Option Shares will be contingent upon the Company’s receipt from the Optionee of full payment for the Option Shares, as set forth above and any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Administrator may require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of Options under the Plan and any subsequent resale of the shares of Stock will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Grant and Exercise of Option The Xxxxxx Parties hereby grant to Dow an irrevocable option (the “Option”) to purchase, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Interests at a cash purchase price equal to the Fair Market Enterprise Value (the “Purchase Price”). The Option may be exercised by Dow upon written notice (the “Option Exercise Notice”) to the Xxxxxx Parties at any time after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date. The Option shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the earlier to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, and (ii) the date of the closing of the first underwritten public offering of the equity interests of the Xxxxxx Group (or its successor) (an “IPO”) pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (such date being referred to herein as the “Termination Date”); provided, that Dow will not have the right to exercise the Option after the forty-fifth (45th) day following the date on which the Xxxxxx Parties provide written notice (“Xxxxxx Notice”) to Dow that it has filed such a registration statement for an IPO with the Securities Exchange Commission (it being understood that Dow will have the right to exercise the Option if the Xxxxxx Parties do not consummate an IPO within 180 days of the delivery of such Xxxxxx Notice). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, (i) Dow shall be entitled to purchase the Interests in the event that it has exercised the Option in accordance with the terms hereof prior to the Termination Date and (ii) Xxxxxx Parties’ obligation to sell the Interests shall be subject to the restrictive covenants contained in its debt EXECUTION COPY financing agreements as in effect from time to time; provided that such covenants do not adversely materially discriminate against such Interests compared to the assets of the Xxxxxx Parties taken as a whole.
Exercise of Nonqualified Stock Option If the Option does not ------------------------------------- qualify as an ISO, there may be a regular federal and California income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option. Participant will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. If Participant is a current or former employee of the Company, the Company may be required to withhold from Participant's compensation or collect from Participant and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise.
