Post-Termination Exercise Period Subject to the expiration dates and other terms of the applicable stock option agreements, the Participant may elect to have the right to exercise any outstanding incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options granted prior to the Termination Date to the Participant under the Company's 1984 Long-Term Executive Compensation Plan, its 1993 Long-Term Executive Compensation Plan, or any successor plan to its 1993 Long-Term Executive Compensation Plan that are vested as of the Termination Date (or, if later, the Release Date), whether due to the operation of Section 6(a), above, or otherwise, at any time during the Severance Period and, except in the event that the Severance Period terminates pursuant to Section 8(a), for a period up to 3 months after the end of the Severance Period (notwithstanding Section 8). Any such election shall apply to all outstanding incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, will be irrevocable and must be made in writing and delivered to the Plan Administrator on or before the later of the Termination Date or Release Date. If the Participant fails to make an election, the Participant's right to exercise such options will expire 3 months after the Termination Date.
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.
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.
Extension of Exercise Period Notwithstanding any provisions of paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section to the contrary, if exercise of the Option following termination of employment during the time period set forth in the applicable paragraph or sale during such period of the Shares acquired on exercise would violate any of the provisions of the federal securities laws (or any Company policy related thereto), the time period to exercise the Option shall be extended until the later of (i) forty-five (45) days after the date that the exercise of the Option or sale of the Shares acquired on exercise would not be a violation of the federal securities laws (or a related Company policy), or (ii) the end of the time period set forth in the applicable paragraph.
Xxxxx of Option The Plan Administrator of the Company hereby grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Grant attached as Part I of this Agreement (the "Optionee") an option (the "Option") to purchase the number of Shares, as set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the "Exercise Price"), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option ("ISO"), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code. However, if this Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d) it shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option ("NSO").

This Option shall not be exercisable, unless and until the Optionor and Optionee have negotiated and executed a stock purchase agreement relating to the purchase of the Option Shares of the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of this Option containing such representations and warranties of the parties as are characteristic of similar stock purchase transactions.
Xxxxx of Option; Conditions Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term (the “Renewal Option”) for one additional period of 5 years commencing on the day following the Termination Date of the initial Term and ending on the 5th anniversary of the Termination Date (the “Renewal Term”), if:
Stock Option Exercise Agreement To exercise this Option, Participant (or in the case of exercise after Participant’s death or incapacity, Participant’s executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) must deliver to the Company an executed stock option exercise agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, or in such other form as may be approved by the Committee from time to time (the “Exercise Agreement”), which shall set forth, inter alia, (i) Participant’s election to exercise the Option, (ii) the number of Shares being purchased, (iii) any restrictions imposed on the Shares and (iv) any representations, warranties and agreements regarding Participant’s investment intent and access to information as may be required by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws. If someone other than Participant exercises the Option, then such person must submit documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company verifying that such person has the legal right to exercise the Option and such person shall be subject to all of the restrictions contained herein as if such person were the Participant.
Manner of Option Exercise This Option may be exercised by Xxxxx in whole or in part from time to time, subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, by delivery, in person, by facsimile or electronic transmission or through the mail, to Xxxxxx at his principal executive office, of a written Notice of Exercise, with a copy to RDO at its principal executive office. Such notice will identify this Option, will specify the number of Option Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and will be signed by the person so exercising the Option. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the total purchase price of the Option Shares purchased. In the event that the Option is being exercised by any person or persons other than Xxxxx, the Notice will be accompanied by appropriate proof of right of such person or persons to exercise the Option. As soon as practicable after the effective exercise of the Option, Xxxxxx will deliver to the person exercising this Option one or more duly issued stock certificates evidencing such ownership, together with an assignment separate from the certificate duly endorsed by him evidencing the transfer of the Option Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised. Upon receipt of the foregoing, RDO will deliver to the transferee one or more duly issued stock certificates bearing such transfer restrictions as may then be appropriate based upon advice of RDO's legal counsel.
