  • Option Right Landlord hereby grants to the originally named Tenant herein (“Original Tenant”), and its “Permitted Assignees”, as that term is defined in Section 14.8, below, one (1) option to extend the Lease Term for a period of five (5) years (the “Option Term”), which option shall be irrevocably exercised only by written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord not more than twelve (12) months nor less than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term, provided that the following conditions (the “Option Conditions”) are satisfied: (i) as of the date of delivery of such notice, Tenant is not in default under this Lease, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period; (ii) Tenant has not previously been in default under this Lease, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, more than twice in the twelve (12) month period prior to the date of Tenant’s attempted exercise; and (iii) the Lease then remains in full force and effect. Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, exercised in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, waive any of the Option Conditions in which case the option, if otherwise properly exercised by Tenant, shall remain in full force and effect. Upon the proper exercise of such option to extend, and provided that Tenant satisfies all of the Option Conditions (except those, if any, which are waived by Landlord), the Lease Term, as it applies to the Premises, shall be extended for a period of five (5) years. The rights contained in this Section 2.2 shall be personal to Original Tenant and any Permitted Assignees, and may be exercised by Original Tenant or such Permitted Assignees (and not by any other assignee, sublessee or other “Transferee,” as that term is defined in Section 14.1 of this Lease, of Tenant’s interest in this Lease).

Subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date, the Option will vest and become exercisable with respect to one-forty-eighth (1/48th) of the shares subject thereto on each monthly anniversary of January 1, 2016. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company experiences a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) prior to the full vesting (or forfeiture) of the Option and Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined below) within three (3) months prior to the consummation of such Change in Control, then, subject to Section 6(b) below, one hundred percent (100%) of any then-unvested portion of the Option will vest and become exercisable immediately prior to such Change in Control. In addition, (i) if the Company experiences a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) prior to the full vesting (or forfeiture) of the Option and Executive remains employed by the Company through at least immediately prior to such Change in Control, fifty percent (50%) of any then-unvested portion of the Option shall vest immediately prior to such Change in Control, and (ii) if the Company experiences a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) prior to the full vesting (or forfeiture) of the Option and Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause within two (2) years following the consummation of such Change in Control, subject to and conditioned upon Executive’s timely execution and non-revocation of a Release (as defined below), one hundred percent (100%) of any then-unvested portion of the Option will vest in full and become exercisable upon the effectiveness of the Release. Each Option will be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and in an award agreement to be entered into between the Company and Executive, which will evidence the grant of the Option (each, an “Option Agreement”).

The Securities Option may be exercised, in whole but not in part, by written notice to Stockholder (as set forth below), for a period of ten (10) business days (the "10 DAY PERIOD") following termination of the Merger Agreement or termination of the Offer, whichever shall first occur; PROVIDED that, prior to such termination, either (i) a Trigger Event shall have occurred or (ii) (A) the Company shall have received a written proposal from any person other than Parent, Purchaser or any affiliate of Parent or Purchaser for an Acquisition Transaction, which proposal shall not have expired or been withdrawn, (B) the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(b), 8.01(d)(ii), 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) and (C) at the time of such termination the Minimum Condition shall not have been satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities Option may not be exercised until: (i) all waiting periods under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR ACT"), required for the purchase of the Securities upon such exercise shall have expired or been waived and any other conditions under the other Antitrust Laws shall have been satisfied and (ii) there shall not be in effect any preliminary injunction or other order issued by any Governmental Entity prohibiting the exercise of the Securities Option pursuant to this Agreement; provided that if (i) all HSR Act waiting periods shall not have expired or been terminated or (ii) there shall be in effect any such injunction or order, in each case on the expiration of the 10 Day Period, the 10 Day Period shall be extended until five (5) business days after the later of (A) the date of expiration or termination of all HSR Act waiting periods, and (B) the date of removal or lifting of such injunction or order. (b) In the event that Purchaser wishes to exercise the Securities Option, Purchaser shall send a written notice (the "NOTICE") to Stockholder identifying the date (not less than two (2) nor more than five (5) business days from the date of the Notice) for the closing of such purchase, which closing shall be held at the executive offices of the Company (or such other place as the parties may agree). At the closing, Stockholder shall deliver to Purchaser appropriate and effective instruments of transfer of the Option Securities, against payment to Stockholder of the Purchase Price, in same day funds, by wire transfer to such account as Stockholder shall designate. (c) In the event the Option Securities are acquired by Purchaser pursuant to the exercise of the Securities Option (the "ACQUIRED SECURITIES") and, either before or at any time within the one-year period following such acquisition, Parent, Purchaser or any affiliate of Parent or Purchaser shall acquire Common Stock (other than from the Company) at a price in excess of the Purchase Price, then the Purchase Price hereunder shall be increased to such higher price. If the purchase of the Acquired Securities has been completed at the time of such increase, Stockholder shall be entitled to receive, and Purchaser shall promptly (and in no event more than 48 hours following such increase) pay to Stockholder, by wire transfer of same day funds to such account as Stockholder shall designate, the amount of the increase. (d) In the event the Option Securities are acquired by Purchaser pursuant to the exercise of the Securities Option, Stockholder shall be entitled to receive, and Purchaser shall promptly (and in no event more than 48 hours following such Sale) pay to Stockholder, upon any subsequent disposition, transfer or sale to an unaffiliated third party ("SALE") of all or any portion of the Acquired Securities within the one-year period following such acquisition, an amount per share in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the net proceeds received per share in the Sale over the Purchase Price. Any such payment shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds to such account as Stockholder shall designate.

  • 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.
