Implementation of Small Grants Sample Clauses

Implementation of Small Grants. Research Program (SGP) for Collaborative Research‌ Implementation of Field and Lab Research Funded by SGP Round #1 Funding: Of the ten proposals awarded under this MAIL and Universities collaborative research program, two are implemented within laboratory environments, and eight as field-based experiments. The grant on Quantity and Quality of Imported Wheat in Afghanistan, which was awarded on 8 November 2018, was cancelled this quarter as the research team (after receiving several time extensions), failed to address GRAIN’s suggested revisions and shared comments. In addition, the Principal Investigator (PI) was admitted to a PhD Program and was unable to continue the grant process. As this is an important the research topic, is an important research area, GRAIN is investigating alternative ways to implement this research. An eleventh applicant also received time extensions to submit a proposal; however, due to other work commitments, the PI withdrew from the process. The nine funded experiments are underway, with seven field activities applying fertilizers, irrigation, data collection and data analysis from the research fields, as required. The two laboratory-based experiments require equipment and research materials that have not been locally available, and arrangements are in progress to source required equipment and research materials outside the country. Annex 5: List of SGP Ongoing Research provides a more comprehensively detailed status update. GRAIN sponsored Field Day in Herat: In close collaboration with Herat DAIL and Herat University, a SGP Field Day was conducted on 30 April. Ninety-two people from the University and DAIL (including GRAIN mentees and interns), the Agriculture and Veterinary Institute, and Wheat Working Group representation from the private and farm sectors were present. The field day highlighted two grants: Effect of animal manure and NPK on wheat quality and quantity, and Effect of salinity and chemical fertilizer on wheat quality and quantity. DAIL and Xxxxx University leadership spoke to the audience about the importance of research and extension, and how GRAIN’s SGP is delivering valuable wheat research that has the potential to deliver outcomes that increase the yield and quality of wheat produced in Afghanistan. Grant recipients described the theory behind their concepts and how their experiments were progressing. All were invited to partake in field visits to inspect the experiments at [Exact location address is redact...

Notwithstanding any provisions of the stock option plan or stock option agreement pursuant to which any stock options subject to the preceding sentence were granted, the Executive shall be entitled to exercise such Equity Awards until three years from the date of termination of employment or the expiration of the stated period of the Equity Award, whichever period is the shorter.

  • 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.

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.
