Vesting and Exercise of Option The Option shall vest and become exercisable during its term in accordance with the following provisions:
Grant of Stock Units Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Stock Award Agreement (including Section 1 above) and the Plan, the Administrator hereby grants to the Awardee named in Section 1, on the Grant Date set forth in Section 1, the number of Stock Units set forth in Section 1.
Term of Grant Agreement The term of this Grant Agreement begins on JANUARY 1, 2024, and ends three (3) years following the final payment unless otherwise terminated or amended as provided in this Agreement. However, all work shall be completed by MARCH 31, 2026, and no funds may be requested after APRIL 15, 2026.
Grant and Exercise of Option Provided that (i) no Default has occurred and is then continuing (ii) the creditworthiness of Tenant is then reasonably acceptable to Landlord and (iii) Tenant originally named herein or a Permitted Transferee remains in possession of the Leased Premises throughout the term immediately preceding the Extension Term (as defined below), Tenant shall have the option to extend the Lease Term for two (2) additional periods of five (5) years each (the "Extension Term(s)"). Each Extension Term shall be upon the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease except (x) this provision giving two (2) extension options shall be amended to reflect the remaining options to extend, if any, and (y) any improvement allowances or other concessions applicable to the Leased Premises under the Lease shall not apply to the Extension Term, and (z) the Minimum Annual Rent shall be adjusted as set forth below (the "Rent Adjustment"). Tenant shall exercise each option by delivering to Landlord, no later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the preceding term, written notice of Tenant's desire to extend the Lease Term. Tenant's failure to timely exercise such option shall be deemed a waiver of such option and any succeeding option. Landlord shall notify Tenant of the amount of the Rent Adjustment no later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the commencement of the Extension Term. Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Rent Adjustment if it fails to deliver to Landlord a written objection thereto within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. If Tenant exercises its option to extend in accordance with the terms hereof, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease reflecting the terms and conditions of the Extension Term within thirty (30) days after Tenant's acceptance (or deemed acceptance) of the Rent Adjustment.
Grant Agreement) This represents the status at the time of signature of this Consortium Agreement.
Exercise of Stock Options If stock options granted in connection with a Stock Incentive Plan are exercised:
(1) Crescent Equities shall, as soon as practicable after such exercise, contribute to the capital of the Partnership an amount equal to the exercise price paid to Crescent Equities by the exercising party;
(2) Crescent Equities shall, as of the date on which the purchase of the REIT Shares is consummated by such exercising party, be deemed to have contributed to the Partnership as Contributed Funds pursuant to Section 4.2.A(2) hereof an amount equal to the fair market value (computed using the "closing price" (as such term is defined in the definition of "Value" in Article I hereof) as of the date on which such purchase of REIT Shares is consummated by such exercising party) of the REIT Shares delivered by Crescent Equities to such exercising party; and
(3) the General Partner's Partnership Interest shall remain unchanged, and the Partnership Interests of Crescent Equities and the other Limited Partners shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 4.2, based on the amount deemed to be contributed, determined pursuant to Section 4.6.B(2); provided that, for purposes of calculating the "Deemed Value of the Partnership" and the "Deemed Partnership Interest Value" under Section 4.2, the "Value" of a REIT Share shall be the "closing price" (as such term is defined in the definition of the term "Value" in Article I hereof) of a REIT Share as of the date on which the purchase of REIT Shares is consummated by the exercising party.
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.
(b) Certificates for shares of Stock purchased upon exercise of this Stock Option shall be issued and delivered to the Optionee upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Administrator with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the Administrator as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Optionee. The Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder of the shares subject to this Stock Option, or to have any of the rights of a holder, unless and until this Stock Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall have issued and delivered the shares to the Optionee, and the Optionee’s name shall have been entered as the stockholder of record on the books of the Company. Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and other ownership rights with respect to such shares of Stock.
(c) The minimum number of shares with respect to which this Stock Option may be exercised at any one time shall be 100 shares, unless the number of shares with respect to which this Stock Option is being exercised is the total number of shares subject to exercise under this Stock Option at the time.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date hereof.
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.
Exercise of Option and Provisions for Termination (a) Except as otherwise provided herein and subject to the right of cumulation provided herein, this option may be exercised, prior to the tenth anniversary date, as to not more than the following number of shares covered by this option during the respective periods set forth below: No shares from and after the date of grant and prior to the first anniversary date; shares from and after the first anniversary date and prior to the second anniversary date; shares from and after the second anniversary date and prior to the third anniversary date; shares from and after the third anniversary date and prior to the fourth anniversary date; shares from and after the fourth anniversary date and prior to the fifth anniversary date; and shares from and after the fifth anniversary date. The right of exercise provided herein shall be cumulative so that if the option is not exercised to the maximum extent permissible during any such period it shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, with respect to all shares not so purchased at any time during any subsequent period prior until the expiration or termination of this option. This option may not be exercised at any time after the tenth anniversary date.
(b) Subject to the conditions hereof, this option shall be exercisable by the Employee giving written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of shares to be purchased and the purchase price to be paid therefor and accompanied by payment in accordance with Section 3 hereof. Such exercise shall be effective upon receipt by the Treasurer of the Company of the written notice together with the required payment. The Employee shall be entitled to purchase less than the number of shares covered hereby, provided that no partial exercise of this option shall be for less than 10 whole shares.
(c) If the Employee ceases to be employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries for any reason, including retirement but other than death, this option shall immediately terminate; provided, however, that any portion of this option which was otherwise exercisable on the date of termination of the Employee’s employment may be exercised within the three-month period following the date on which the Employee ceased to be so employed, but in no event after the tenth anniversary date. Any such exercise may be made only to the extent of the number of shares subject to this option which are purchasable upon the date of such termination of employment. If the Employee dies during such three-month period, this option shall be exercisable by the Employee’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees to the same extent and during the same period that the Employee could have exercised this option on the date of his or her death.
(d) If the Employee dies while an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, this option shall be exercisable, by the Employee’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees, to the same extent that the Employee could have exercised this option on the date of his or her death. This option or any unexercised portion hereof shall terminate unless so exercised prior to the earlier of the expiration of six months from the date of such death or the tenth anniversary date.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, this option may not be exercised to the extent such an exercise would violate Section 422(d)(1) of the Code, which provides that the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by the Employee during any calendar year (under all of the plans of the Company, its parent, if any, or its subsidiaries, if any) shall not exceed $100,000.
