STANDARD NON-QUALIFIED OPTIONS Sample Clauses

STANDARD NON-QUALIFIED OPTIONS. Pursuant to a separate award agreement to be executed simultaneously with this Agreement, Team shall issue to Hawk standard non-qualified options ("SNOs") to purchase that number of shares of Team Common Stock equal to 150,000 less the number of ISOs issued to Hawk under Section 5(a) herein. One-third of the SNOs shall become exercisable as of the end of each of the three succeeding annual anniversary dates of the Effective Date and shall generally be subject to the same exercise price, conditions and restrictions as the ISOs under the ISO Plan; provided, however, that (i) in the event that this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 8(a) herein or as provided in Section 8(c) herein, the SNOs shall become fully vested as of the effective date of such termination, and (ii) in the event a "Change of Control" of Team (as that term is defined in Section 25(b) of this Agreement) occurs in a transaction which is not recommended by the Board, then all the SNOs shall become fully vested immediately prior to consummation of such transaction, irrespective of any termination of this Agreement. In addition, upon the occurrence of any of the events causing acceleration of the vesting of any of the SNOs as provided above in this Section 5(b), Team shall, simultaneously with such event causing acceleration, issue to Hawk more SNOs (the "Additional SNOs") in addition to the SNOs issued to Hawk as of the Effective Date (the "Original SNOs"). The number of shares of Team Common Stock purchasable under the Additional SNOs shall equal the number of shares of Team Common Stock that would have become vested under the ISOs had such event causing acceleration of vesting of the Original SNOs applied to the remaining non-vested ISOs. Such Additional SNOs shall be immediately exercisable at the same exercise price as the Original SNOs and shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Original SNOs. The remaining non-vested ISOs as of the date of such acceleration shall be reduced by the same number of shares as are included in the Additional SNOs.

  • Stock Options; Warrants (a) At the Effective Time and without any action on the part of the parties hereto, (i) the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, the 1993 Incentive Stock Option, Nonqualified Stock Option and Restricted Stock Purchase Plan (together, the “Company Stock Plans”) and (ii) each unexercised and unexpired stock option that is then outstanding under the Company Stock Plans or any other plan or arrangement under which the Company or its subsidiaries grants stock options, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested (the “Company Options”), shall be assumed by Parent and such Company Options shall be converted into options to purchase Parent Common Stock (individually an “Assumed Option” and collectively the “Assumed Options”). Each Assumed Option shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable Company Stock Plan and any agreement evidencing the grant of such Assumed Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that, as of the Effective Time, (i) the Assumed Options shall be exercisable for whole shares of Parent Common Stock, and the number of such shares shall be equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option, whether or not exercisable, immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Assumed Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, (iii) all references in the Company Stock Plan and the agreement evidencing the Assumed Option to the Company shall be deemed to be references to Parent and (iv) all references in the Company Stock Plan and the agreement evidencing the Company Option to Company Common Stock shall be deemed to be references to Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.2, the conversion of any Assumed Options (regardless of whether such options qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) into options to purchase Parent Common Stock shall be made in such a manner as would not constitute a “modification” of such Assumed Options within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code.

  • Exercise of Nonstatutory Stock Option There may be a regular ------------------------------------- federal income tax liability upon the exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option. The Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. If Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee's compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

  • Stock Options (a) Subsequent to the effectiveness of the Form 10, but prior to the consummation of the Distribution, and subject to the consummation of the Distribution, each option to purchase ALTISOURCE Common Stock (“ALTISOURCE Stock Options”) granted and outstanding under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan of ALTISOURCE (“ALTISOURCE Option Plan”) shall remain granted and outstanding and shall not, and ALTISOURCE shall cause (to the maximum extent permitted under the ALTISOURCE Option Plan) the ALTISOURCE Stock Options not to, terminate, accelerate or otherwise vest as a result of the Distribution, and each holder thereof immediately prior to the Distribution will be entitled to the following, determined in a manner in accordance with, and subject to, the ALTISOURCE Option Plan, FAS123R and Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code: (i) an option to acquire a number of shares of Residential Class B Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of ALTISOURCE Common Stock subject to the ALTISOURCE Stock Option held by such holder on the Distribution Date and (y) the distribution ratio of one (1) share of Residential Class B Common Stock for every three (3) shares of ALTISOURCE Common Stock (the “Residential Stock Options”), with an exercise price to be determined in a manner consistent with this Section 3.04 and (ii) the adjustment of the exercise price of such holder’s ALTISOURCE Stock Option, to be determined in a manner consistent with this Section 3.04 (the “Adjusted ALTISOURCE Stock Options”) (the Residential Stock Options and the Adjusted ALTISOURCE Stock Options, together, the “Post-Distribution Stock Options”).

  • Share Options With respect to the share options (the “Share Options”) granted pursuant to the share-based compensation plans of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Company Share Plans”), (i) each Share Option intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), so qualifies, (ii) each grant of a Share Option was duly authorized no later than the date on which the grant of such Share Option was by its terms to be effective (the “Grant Date”) by all necessary corporate action, including, as applicable, approval by the board of directors of the Company (or a duly constituted and authorized committee thereof) and any required shareholder approval by the necessary number of votes or written consents, and the award agreement governing such grant (if any) was duly executed and delivered by each party thereto, (iii) each such grant was made in accordance with the terms of the Company Share Plans, the Exchange Act, and all other applicable laws and regulatory rules or requirements, including the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), and (iv) each such grant was properly accounted for in accordance with IFRS in the financial statements (including the related notes) of the Company. The Company has not knowingly granted, and there is no and has been no policy or practice of the Company of granting, Share Options prior to, or otherwise coordinating the grant of Share Options with, the release or other public announcement of material information regarding the Company or its subsidiaries or their results of operations or prospects.

  • Nonstatutory Stock Option The Optionee may incur regular federal income tax liability upon exercise of a NSO. The Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Exercised Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price. If the Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from his or her compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

  • Company Stock Options At the Effective Time, each Company Stock --------------------- Option shall be deemed to have been assumed by Evergreen, without further action by Evergreen, and shall thereafter be deemed an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Stock Option, that number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock that would have been received in respect of such Company Stock Option if it had been exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (such Company Stock Options assumed by Evergreen, the "Assumed Chancellor Stock Options"); provided, however, that, for -------- ------- each optionholder, (i) the aggregate fair market value of Surviving Corporation Common Stock subject to Assumed Chancellor Stock Options immediately after the Effective Time shall not exceed the aggregate exercise price thereof by more than the excess of the aggregate fair market value of Company Common Stock subject to Company Stock Options immediately before the Effective Time over the aggregate exercise price thereof and (ii) on a share-by-share comparison, the ratio of the exercise price of the Assumed Chancellor Stock Option to the fair market value of the Surviving Corporation Common Stock immediately after the Effective Time is no more favorable to the optionholder than the ratio of the exercise price of the Company Stock Option to the fair market value of the Company Common Stock immediately before the Effective Time; and provided, -------- further, that no fractional shares shall be issued on the exercise of such ------- Assumed Chancellor Stock Option and, in lieu thereof, the holder of such Assumed Chancellor Stock Option shall only be entitled to a cash payment in the amount of such fraction multiplied by the closing price per share of Surviving Corporation Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market on the business day immediately prior to the date of such exercise.

  • Stock Option Agreement Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Options may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee’s other compensation.

  • Exercise of Nonqualified Stock Option If the Option does not ------------------------------------- qualify as an ISO, there may be a regular federal and California income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option. Participant will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. If Participant is a current or former employee of the Company, the Company may be required to withhold from Participant's compensation or collect from Participant and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise.

  • Treatment of Company Stock Options Immediately after the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company Stock Option”) granted under the Company 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan for Key Employees of the Company and its affiliates (collectively, the “Company Stock Plans”), whether vested or unvested, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent an option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (such option, a “Converted Stock Option”) equal to the product (with the result rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Converted Stock Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Converted Stock Option shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting (and acceleration thereof upon the Closing, to the extent provided therein), forfeiture and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding Company Stock Option at the Effective Time; provided, however, that (1) to the extent that any Company Stock Option that is subject to vesting solely upon achievement of a target price per share of Company Common Stock (such price, the “Target Price” and such Company Stock Option, a “Target Price Option”)) would, by its terms, expire as of the Effective Time, such Target Price Option shall be amended such that it will not expire upon the Effective Time and shall instead become a Converted Stock Option, and remain eligible to vest upon satisfaction of the applicable Target Price, as adjusted to equal the initial Target Price divided by the Exchange Ratio (the “Adjusted Target Price”), (2) all Converted Stock Options held by a Company Employee (other than any Converted Stock Option with an Adjusted Target Price) shall vest in their entirety to the extent such Company Employee undergoes a Covered Termination and (3) all Converted Stock Options with an Adjusted Target Price held by a Company Employee shall be cancelled for no consideration or payment to the extent such Company Employee undergoes any termination of employment (including a Covered Termination) and at the time of such termination, the Adjusted Target Price is not achieved. For purposes hereof, a “Covered Termination” means, with respect to a Company Employee, (A) an involuntary termination of such Company Employee’s employment initiated by the Company that would result in the payment of severance benefits under the applicable Company Benefit Plan under which such Company Employee is eligible for severance benefits or (B) such Company Employee resigns from employment as a result of a material diminution in (I) the duties or responsibilities of such Company Employee as of the date of this Agreement, or (II) the base salary or annual incentive compensation opportunity afforded to such Company Employee as of the date of this Agreement, in each case, to the extent that such termination or resignation occurs on or following the date of this Agreement and on or prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that, in the case of a Company Employee resigning under clause (B) above, (x) the Company Employee shall provide the Surviving Corporation with written notice specifying the circumstances alleged to constitute the applicable material diminution within sixty (60) days following the first (1st) occurrence of such circumstances, (y) the Surviving Corporation shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice to cure such circumstances and (z) if the Surviving Corporation has not cured such circumstances within such thirty (30)-day period, the Company Employee shall terminate his or her employment not later than thirty (30) days after the end of such thirty (30) day period; provided further that any such resignation under clause (B) above shall constitute a Covered Termination with respect to a Company Employee who is not a Covered Company Employee solely if so determined by the Company CEO (subject to his continued employment with the Company, or, following the Closing, with Parent, through such date).
