The Plan is hereby incorporated herein by reference as though set forth herein in its entirety. The Option is not intended to be and shall not be qualified as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code.
Grant of Option; Conditions Tenant shall have a continuing right of first offer (the “Right of First Offer”) with respect to the following space in the Office Section:
(i) Commencing on the date hereof, all space in Tower IV other than on the first floor;
(ii) Commencing on the date hereof, any space in Tower Ill that is contiguous to the then Premises, whether on a floor above or below the Premises (including SSB Expansion Space and Early Expansion Space not added under Section 41.01 and any expansion space under Section 41.02) or on the same floor as a portion of the Premises, but in Tower Ill;
(iii) Commencing July 1, 2019, any space in Tower I, but subject to the rights, existing as of the date of this Lease, of other tenants of the Building. Any such space that becomes available as hereinafter described is referred to herein as the “Offering Space”. If during the Term Landlord determines (in Landlord’s sole judgment) that Offering Space is available to lease to a third party other than the existing tenant or licensee of the Offering Space, then Landlord shall so advise Tenant (the “Advice”). Tenant may lease such Offering Space in its entirety only, under the applicable terms described below, by delivering written notice of exercise to Landlord (the “Notice of Exercise”) within ten business (10) days after the date of the Advice. In any event, Tenant’s delivery of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the irrevocable exercise by Tenant of its Right of First Offer subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this ARTICLE 43. Any reference to the Advice below shall be a reference to the Advice with respect to which a Notice of Exercise was given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no such Right of First Offer and Landlord need not provide Tenant with an Advice, if:
(a) A material default is then continuing at the time that Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or
(b) Tenant herein named (or a transferee pursuant to a Related Party Transfer, as defined in ARTICLE 17 of this Lease) is not in occupancy of at least 70% of the Premises initially leased at the time Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or
(c) This Lease has been assigned (other than pursuant to a Related Party Transfer) prior to the date Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice.
Stock Option Grants Pursuant to the following terms and conditions, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in Holdings’ stock option plan and Holdings agrees as follows:
i. Holdings shall establish a stock option plan (“Stock Option Plan”) providing for grants of options (the “Stock Options”) to purchase the common stock of BD Investment Holdings Inc., par value $0.01 (the “Buyer Common Stock”) in amounts not less than (i) 2% of the Buyer Common Stock (on a fully-diluted post-exercise basis) in the aggregate per year for all executives, employees and financial advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Executive selected by the Board after consultation with, and based on the recommendation of, the CEO, for the calendar years beginning on January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009 and (ii) 2.5% of the Buyer Common Stock (on a fully-diluted post-exercise basis) in the aggregate per year for all executives, employees and financial advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Executive, selected by the Board after consultation with, and based on the recommendation of, the CEO, for the calendar years beginning on January 1, 2010 and January 1, 2011.
ii. Beginning in January 2008, each annual Stock Option grant shall be made between the first and fifteenth business day of the year, unless the CEO, in his sole discretion, shall agree with the Board to a later date during such year (the “Default Date”). If the Board does not approve Stock Option grants in the amounts set forth in Section 4(c)(i) by the Default Date, then Stock Options in such amounts shall be granted pro-rata to existing option holders and employee stockholders as of such date of grant, except that the CEO’s share of such Stock Option grants shall be reduced by 75% and the other four most highly compensated executives’ share of such Stock Option grants shall be reduced by 50%.
iii. The per share exercise price of each Stock Option shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Buyer Common Stock on the date of grant. Each Stock Option granted shall vest in five equal tranches on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant subject to the option holder’s continued employment as of each such vesting date; provided, however, that all Stock Options shall automatically vest in full upon a “change in control” (as defined in the Option Plan, it being understood that an IPO shall in no event constitute a change in control). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, following an IPO, no additional Stock Options shall be granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan.
iv. Upon termination of his employment, the portion of any Stock Option granted to the Executive which has not yet vested shall terminate. In the event the Executive’s employment terminates for any reason other than for Cause, the Executive may exercise any vested portion of any Stock Option held by him on the date of termination provided that he does so prior to the earlier of (A) ninety (90) days following termination of employment and (B) the expiration of the scheduled term of the Stock Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive’s employment is terminated due to death or disability (as defined in Section 5(b)), then the Executive or, as applicable in the event of death, his beneficiary or estate, may exercise any vested portion of any Stock Option held by the Executive on the date employment terminates for the shorter of (A) the period of twelve (12) months following the termination date and, (B) with respect to each Stock Option individually, the expiration of the scheduled term of such Stock Option. Upon a termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company for Cause, all Stock Options shall be forfeited immediately.
v. Holdings, the Company and the Executive agree to cooperate to structure the Stock Option Plan so as to minimize or avoid additional taxes and interest that would otherwise be imposed on the Executive with respect to options granted under the Stock Option Plan pursuant to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code as amended (the “Code”); provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to grant the Executive a “gross-up” or other “make-whole” compensation for such purpose.
Stock Option Grant Subject to the provisions set forth herein and the terms and conditions of the Plan, and in consideration of the agreements of the Participant herein provided, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an Option to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock, at the exercise price per share, and on the schedule, set forth above.
Grant of SARs Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, SARs may be granted to Employees and Consultants at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. The Committee shall have complete discretion to determine the number of SARs granted to any Participant, provided that during any Fiscal Year, no Participant shall be granted SARs covering more than 500,000 Shares.
Vesting of Stock Options All unvested stock options held by Executive, if any, shall vest immediately upon a Change of Control Termination as defined in Section 6.1.
Stock Options; Restricted Stock The foregoing benefits are intended to be in addition to the value of any options to acquire Common Stock of the Company, the exercisability of which is accelerated pursuant to the terms of any stock option agreement, any restricted stock the vesting of which is accelerated pursuant to the terms of the restricted stock agreement, and any other incentive or similar plan heretofore or hereafter adopted by the Company.
