Related to Option and Stock Acceleration
Stock Acceleration If the Change in Control Date occurs during the Term, then, effective upon the Change in Control Date, (a) each outstanding option to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company held by the Executive shall become immediately exercisable in full and will no longer be subject to a right of repurchase by the Company and (b) each outstanding restricted stock award shall be deemed to be fully vested and will no longer be subject to a right of repurchase by the Company.
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.
Duration and Exercisability A. This option may not be exercised by Employee until the expiration of two (2) years from the date of grant, and this option shall in all events terminate ten (10) years after the date of grant. During the first two years from the date of grant of this option, no portion of this option may be exercised. Thereafter this option shall become exercisable in four cumulative installments of 25% as follows: Total Portion of Option Date Which is Exercisable ---- -------------------- Two Years after Date of Grant 25% Three Years after Date of Grant 50% Four Years after Date of Grant 75% Five Years after Date of Grant 100% In the event that Employee does not purchase in any one year the full number of shares of Common Stock of the Company to which he/she is entitled under this option, he/she may, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 3 hereof, purchase such shares of Common Stock in any subsequent year during the term of this option.
Acceleration of Options One hundred (100%) percent of the Executive’s outstanding, unvested options, restricted stock and/or equity awards (“Equity Awards”) shall, immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, become fully and immediately vested to the extent not already so provided under the terms of such Equity Awards; provided, however, that if the acquirer in a Change in Control grants Equity Awards having (in the reasonable opinion of the Board) a value at least equal to the value of Executive’s then-unvested Company Equity Awards, then 50% of the Executive’s outstanding, unvested Company Equity Awards shall become fully and immediately vested immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control (and the remaining 50% shall terminate upon the consummation of the Change in Control). 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.
Vesting and Exercisability (a) No portion of this Stock Option may be exercised until such portion shall have vested.
Stock and Stock Options Subject to vesting, as set forth on Exhibit B, the Company will issue to Director stock and options as set forth and described on Exhibit B. Company shall issue said stock and options within sixty (60) days from the execution of this Agreement by both parties.
Acceleration of Exercisability of Option (a) This Option shall become immediately fully exercisable in the event that, prior to the termination of the Option pursuant to Section 6 hereof, and during the Optionee’s Continuous Service, there is a “Change in Control,” as defined in Section 9(b) of the Plan.
Exercisability of Options Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. After an Option is granted, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the exercisability of the Option.
Restricted Stock and Stock Options Employer shall cause the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Employer to review whether Employee should be granted shares of restricted stock and/or options to purchase shares of common stock of CBSI. Such review may be conducted pursuant to the terms of the Community Bank System, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan, a successor plan, or independently, as the Compensation Committee shall determine. Reviews shall be conducted no less frequently than annually.
Vesting Acceleration Effective on such termination, the Executive shall receive accelerated vesting equivalent to six (6) months of service beyond the date of Executive’s termination with respect to the shares subject to any grant of restricted stock or stock options (each, an “Equity Grant”) granted to the Executive, regardless of whether granted prior to, coincident with, or after, the Effective Date; provided, however, that in the event such termination occurs within one (1) year following a Change of Control, then one hundred percent (100%) of the remaining shares subject to each such Equity Grant shall become vested in full and the period during which the Executive is permitted to exercise (if applicable) any such Equity Grant shall be extended until the earlier of (i) ten (10) years from the date of grant, or (ii) the expiration date of such Equity Grant (as of the date of grant).
