Exercisability This option shall be exercisable as to: 400 immediate This option shall remain exercisable as to all vested shares until January 1,2014 (but not later than ten (10) years from the date this option is granted) unless this option has expired or terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions hereof or in the Plan. Subject to paragraphs 4 and 5, shares as to which this option becomes exercisable pursuant to the foregoing provision may be purchased at any time prior to expiration of this option.
Duration of Exercisability The installments provided for in Section 3.1 are cumulative. Each such installment which becomes exercisable pursuant to Section 3.1 shall remain exercisable until it becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3.
Acceleration of Exercisability In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for the securities of another corporation, the acquisition by another corporation or person of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or eighty percent (80%) or more of the Company’s then outstanding voting stock, or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Committee may, in its absolute discretion and upon such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, provide by resolution, adopted prior to such event and incorporated in the notice referred to in Section 3(c)(vii), that at some time prior to the effective date of such event this Option shall be exercisable as to all the shares covered hereby, notwithstanding that this Option may not yet have become fully exercisable under Section 3(a)(i); provided, however, that this acceleration of exercisability shall not take place if:
(i) This Option becomes unexercisable under Section 3(c) prior to said effective date; or
(ii) In connection with such an event, provision is made for an assumption of this Option or a substitution therefor of a new option by an employer corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of such corporation, so that such assumption or substitution complies with the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3(d) shall make this Option exercisable if it is otherwise unexercisable by reason of Section 3(e). The Committee may make such determinations and adopt such rules and conditions as it, in its absolute discretion, deems appropriate in connection with such acceleration of exercisability, including, but not by way of limitation, provisions to ensure that any such acceleration and resulting exercise shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the contemplated corporate transaction, and determinations regarding whether provisions for assumption or substitution have been made as defined in subsection (ii) above.
Vesting and Exercisability of Option The Option shall vest, and may be exercised, with respect to the Shares as set forth in the Optionee Statement attached hereto and made a part hereof, subject to earlier termination of the Option as provided in Sections 1.4 and 6 hereof or in the Plan. The right to purchase the Shares as they become vested shall be cumulative and shall continue during the Exercise Term unless sooner terminated as provided herein.
Option Exercisability The Option shall terminate immediately upon the Participant’s termination of Service to the extent that it is then unvested and shall be exercisable after the Participant’s termination of Service to the extent it is then vested only during the applicable time period as determined below and thereafter shall terminate.
Vesting and Exercisability (a) Options to purchase 87,500 shares, 43,750 shares and 43,750 shares, respectively, will vest on the first three anniversaries of the Start Date (as defined in the Employment Agreement).
(b) If the Employee's employment with the Company terminates for any reason prior to the time that the Option has been fully exercised, the unexercised portion of the Option on the date of termination of employment (whether exercisable or not) shall immediately expire; provided, however, that (i) if the Employee's employment is terminated by reason of the Employee's disability (pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Employment Agreement), all portions of the Option that are vested at the time of termination shall remain exercisable for a period of one year from the date of such termination or until the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever is shorter; (ii) in the event of the death of the Employee while in the employ of the Company, all portions of the Option that are vested at the time of death shall remain exercisable by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the Employee under the will of the Employee for a period of one year from the date of such death or until the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever is shorter; and (iii) in the event the Employee is terminated without "Cause" (as defined in the Employment Agreement), or Executive terminates his employment for "Good Reason" (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then the Option shall become fully vested and exercisable and may be exercised for a period of five years from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever is shorter.
(c) The Board of Directors may, in the event the Executive's employment is terminated for Cause (as provided for in the Employment Agreement), annul the Option and, in such event, may require the Executive to return to the Company the economic benefit of any Option Shares purchased hereunder by the Executive within the six month period prior to the date of termination. In such event, the Executive hereby agrees to remit to the Company, in cash, an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Option Shares on the date of termination (or the sales price of such Shares if the Option Shares were sold during such six month period) and the exercise price of such Shares.
Duration and Exercisability (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, and Grantee being an employee of the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries, if any, on each applicable vesting date, the Option shall vest on, and may be exercised by Grantee on the vesting dates, and in accordance with the vesting schedule, set forth on Exhibit A to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything set forth on Exhibit A to this Agreement, vesting of the Option shall immediately cease upon the occurrence of any of the events provided for in Sections 3(a)-(d), as applicable.
(b) Except as permitted pursuant to the Plan, (i) during the lifetime of Grantee, the Option shall be exercisable only by Grantee or, if permissible under applicable law, by Xxxxxxx’s guardian or legal representative, (ii) the Option shall not be assignable or transferable by Grantee, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules promulgated thereunder, and (iii) the Option may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or pledged, alienated, attached, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered in any manner (whether by operation of law or otherwise), and will not be subject to execution, attachment or other process. Any purported sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance in violation of the terms of this Agreement or the Plan shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition of the Option or any attempt to make any such levy of execution, attachment or other encumbrance will cause the Option to terminate immediately, unless the Board of Directors of the Company or the Committee (as defined in the Plan), in their sole and absolute discretion for any reason or no reason at any time and from time to time, specifically waives applicability of this provision.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement or the Plan, the Option shall expire and terminate, and shall cease to be exercisable, on the expiration date set forth on Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Expiration Date”).
(d) The Company assumes no responsibility for individual income taxes, penalties or interest related to the grant, vesting, forfeiture, termination, recoupment, adjustment or exercise of the Option or any subsequent disposition of Common Shares. Additionally, the Company assumes no responsibility in the event that the Option or any portion thereof is ultimately determined to not be an ISO or the tax treatment therefore is ultimately determined to be other than the tax treatment afforded for ISOs, whether such other treatment is the result of changes in the tax laws, a disqualifying disposition by Grantee, or for any other reason. Grantee should consult with Xxxxxxx’s personal tax advisor regarding the tax ramifications, if any, which result from the grant, vesting, adjustment, forfeiture, termination, recoupment or exercise of the Option, and any subsequent disposition of Common Shares. If, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion for any reason or no reason at any time and from time to time, it is necessary or appropriate to collect or withhold federal, state or local taxes in connection with the grant, vesting, forfeiture, termination, recoupment, adjustment or exercise of any portion of the Option and/or any subsequent disposition of Common Shares, the Company shall be entitled to require the payment of such amounts as a condition to exercise. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Grantee shall pay or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all withholding obligations. In furtherance and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantee (on its own behalf and on behalf of each and every other proper party as described in Section 2(b) and/or Section 3(c) of this Agreement) hereby authorizes the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion for any reason or no reason at any time and from time to time (including without limitation, pursuant to the then-current procedures implemented by the Administrator, as such Administrator and procedures are designated by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion for any reason or no reason at any time and from time to time), to satisfy all withholding and all other obligations with regard to any individual income taxes, penalties or interest related to the grant, vesting, forfeiture, termination, recoupment, adjustment or exercise of the Option and/or any subsequent disposition of Common Shares by one or a combination of the following:
i. withholding from any wages or other cash or equity compensation payable to Grantee by the Company;
ii. withholding Common Shares that are otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option;
iii. arranging for the sale of Common Shares that are otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, including, without limitation, selling Common Shares as part of a block trade with other grantees under the Plan or otherwise; and/or
iv. withholding from the proceeds of the sale of Common Shares issued upon exercise of the Option or other Common Shares issuable to the Grantee. (e) In accepting the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Option and in considering the exercise of the Option, Grantee understands, acknowledges, agrees and hereby stipulates that he or she has used and shall use the same independent investment judgment that Xxxxxxx would use in making other investments in corporate securities. Among other things, stock prices will fluctuate over any reasonable period of time and the price of the Common Shares may go down as well as up. No guarantees are made as to the future prospects of the Company or the Common Shares, or that any market for sale of the Common Shares will exist in the future. No representations are made by the Company except as may be contained in any active registration statement on file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to the Plan at the time of the applicable exercise of the Option.
Suspension of Exercisability To the extent that the Company determines in good faith that some action will or need be taken pursuant to Section 3.1 or to comply with federal or state securities laws, the Company may suspend the exercisability of the Rights for a reasonable period in order to take such action or comply with such laws. In the event of any such suspension, the Company shall issue as promptly as practicable a public announcement stating that the exercisability or exchangeability of the Rights has been temporarily suspended. Notice thereof pursuant to Section 5.9 shall not be required. Failure to give a notice pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of any action taken hereunder.
Exercisability of Option Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, this Option shall entitle the Participant to purchase, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, to the extent the Option is vested in accordance with the vesting schedule herein, the Shares subject to this Option, and each such right of purchase shall be cumulative and shall continue, unless sooner exercised or terminated as herein provided, during the remaining Option Period.
Commencement of Exercisability (a) Subject to Sections 3.1(b), 3.1(c) and 3.3, the Option shall become vested and exercisable in such amounts and at such times as are set forth in the Grant Notice.
(b) No portion of the Option which has not become vested and exercisable at the date of the Participant’s Termination of Services shall thereafter become vested and exercisable, except as may be otherwise provided by the Administrator or as set forth in a written agreement between the Company and the Participant.
