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.
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.
Limitations on Exercise of Option a. The exercise of this Option will be contingent upon receipt from the Optionee (or the purchaser acting under Section 7 below) of the full Exercise Price of such Option Shares. Payment may be made in cash or by a cashier’s or certified check. However, in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors or the Committee, and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors or Committee deems appropriate in its discretion, payment of the Exercise Price or a portion thereof may be made by surrender to the Company of previously acquired shares of Common Stock, such shares to be credited against the Exercise Price based upon the Fair Market Value thereof on the date of exercise, or by a combination of the above. No Option Shares will be issued until full payment therefor has been made and the Optionee has executed any and all agreements that the Company may require the Optionee to execute. b. The issuance of Option Shares upon the exercise of this Option shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. If, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company or a Committee of the Board of Directors, (i) the listing, registration, or qualification of the Option Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, (ii) the consent or approval of any regulatory body, or (iii) an agreement of the Optionee with respect to the disposition of the Option Shares, is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance or sale of the Option Shares, this Option shall not be exercised and/or the Option Shares shall not be sold unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or agreement is effected or obtained in form satisfactory to the Board of Directors or the Committee.
Manner of Exercise of Option (a) To the extent that the right to exercise the Option has accrued and is in effect, the Option may be exercised in full or in part by giving written notice to the Company stating the number of Shares as to which the Option is being exercised and accompanied by payment in full for such Shares. No partial exercise may be made for less than one hundred (100) full Shares of Common Stock. Payment shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Upon such exercise, delivery of a certificate for paid-up, non- assessable Shares shall be made at the principal office of the Company to the person exercising the Option, not less than thirty (30) and not more than ninety (90) days from the date of receipt of the notice by the Company. (b) The Company shall at all times during the term of the Option reserve and keep available such number of Shares of its Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements 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.
Expiration of Options Except as otherwise provided in Section 5 or 6 of the Management Stockholder's Agreement, the Optionee may not exercise the Options to any extent after the first to occur of the following events: (a) The tenth anniversary of the Grant Date; (b) The tenth anniversary of the Grant Date if the Optionee's employment is terminated by reason of death or Permanent Disability; (c) The first anniversary of the date of the Optionee's termination of employment by reason of Retirement, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries without Cause (other than by reason of Permanent Disability) or by the Optionee for Good Reason; (d) The date of an Optionee's termination of employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by the Optionee for any reason other than as set forth in Section 3.2(b) or (c) above (without regard to Section 5 or 6 of the Management Stockholder's Agreement); (e) The date of an Optionee's termination of employment by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Cause; (f) The date the Option is terminated pursuant to Section 5 or 6 of the Management Stockholder's Agreement; or (g) If the Committee so determines pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan, the effective date of either the merger or consolidation of the Company into another Person, or the exchange or acquisition by another Person of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or 80% or more of its then outstanding voting stock, or the recapitalization, reclassification, liquidation or dissolution of the Company. At least ten days prior to the effective date of such merger, consolidation, exchange, acquisition, recapitalization, reclassification, liquidation or dissolution, the Committee shall give the Optionee notice of such event if the Option has then neither been previously fully exercised nor become unexercisable under this Section 3.2.
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.
