2. Non-Qualified Stock Option. The Option is not intended to qualify as
--------------------------
an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code").
3. Acceleration and Termination of Option.
--------------------------------------
(a) Termination of Employment.
-------------------------
(i) Retirement. In the event that Optionee shall cease to be
----------
an employee of or a consultant to the Company, the Partnership or any
of their subsidiaries (such event shall be referred to herein as the
"Termination" of Optionee's "Employment") by reason of retirement in
accordance with the Company's then-current retirement practices, then
the Option shall fully vest with respect to all Option Shares upon the
date of such Termination of Employment and shall terminate on the
Expiration Date.
(ii) Death or Permanent Disability. If Optionee's Employment
-----------------------------
is Terminated by reason of the death or Permanent Disability (as
hereinafter defined) of Optionee, then the Option shall fully vest
with respect to all Option Shares upon the date of such Termination of
Employment, shall be exercisable by Optionee or, in the event of
death, the person or persons to whom Optionee's rights under the
Option shall have passed by will or by the applicable laws of descent
or distribution, and shall terminate on the first anniversary of the
date of such Termination of Employment. "Permanent Disability" shall
mean the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by
reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment
which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be
expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12)
months. The Optionee shall not be deemed to have a Permanent
Disability until proof of the existence thereof shall have been
furnished to the Committee in such form and manner, and at such times,
as the Committee may require. Any determination by the Committee that
Optionee does or does not have a Permanent Disability shall be final
and binding upon the Company and Optionee.
(iii) Termination for Cause. If Optionee's Employment is
---------------------
Terminated for cause, then (A) the portion of the Option that has not
vested on or prior to the date of such Termination of Employment shall
2
terminate on such date and (B) the remaining vested portion of the
Option shall terminate one (1) month from the date of such Termination
of Employment.
(iv) Other Termination. If Optionee's Employment is Terminated
-----------------
for any reason other than those enumerated in (i) through (iii) of
this Section 3(a), then (A) the portion of the Option that has not
vested on or prior to the date of such Termination of Employment shall
terminate on such date and (B) the remaining vested portion of the
Option shall terminate three (3) months from the date of such
Termination of Employment.
(b) Death Following Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding
-----------------------------------------
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Optionee shall die at any
time after the Termination of his or her Employment and prior to the
Expiration Date, then, unless the Optionee was Terminated for cause, the
remaining vested but unexercised portion of the Option shall terminate on
the earlier of the Expiration Date or the first anniversary of the date of
such death.
(c) Acceleration of Option. The Option shall become fully
----------------------
exercisable immediately prior to a Change in Control. A Change in Control
shall mean the following: a reorganization, merger (not including a merger
to effectuate a reincorporation of the Company) or consolidation of the
Company as a result of which the outstanding securities of the class then
subject to this Plan are exchanged for or converted into cash, property
and/or securities not issued by the Company.
(d) Termination of Option. The Option shall terminate upon the
---------------------
occurrence of a Termination Event. A Termination Event shall mean either:
(i) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company;
(ii) a reorganization, merger (not including a merger to
effectuate a reincorporation of the Company) or consolidation of the
Company as a result of which the outstanding securities of the class
then subject to this Plan are exchanged for or converted into cash,
property and/or securities not issued by the Company, which
reorganization, merger or consolidation shall have been affirmatively
recommended to the stockholders of the Company by the Board, unless
the terms of such reorganization, merger or consolidation shall
provide otherwise; or
(iii) a sale of all or substantially all of the property and
assets of the Company, unless the terms of such sale shall provide
otherwise.
4. Adjustments. In the event that the Common Shares are increased,
-----------
decreased or exchanged for or converted into cash, property or a different
number or kind
3
of securities, or if cash, property or securities are distributed in respect of
such outstanding Common Shares, in either case as a result of a reorganization,
merger, consolidation, recapitalization, restructuring, reclassification,
dividend (other than a regular, quarterly cash dividend) or other distribution,
stock split, reverse stock split or the like, or if substantially all of the
property and assets of the Company are sold, then, unless such event shall cause
the Option to terminate pursuant to this Agreement, or the terms of such
transaction shall provide otherwise, the Committee shall make appropriate and
proportionate adjustments in the number and type of shares or other securities
or cash or other property that may be acquired upon the exercise in full of the
Option.
5. Exercise. (a) The Option shall be exercisable during Optionee's
--------
lifetime only by Optionee or by his or her guardian or legal
representative, and after Optionee's death only by the person or entity
entitled to do so under Optionee's last will and testament or applicable
intestate law. The Option may only be exercised by the delivery to the
Company of a written notice of such exercise pursuant to the notice
procedures set forth in Section 7 hereof, which notice shall specify the
number of Option Shares to be purchased (the "Purchased Shares") and the
aggregate Exercise Price for such shares (the "Exercise Price"), together
with payment in full of such aggregate Exercise Price in cash.
(b) Restriction on Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision of
------------------------
this Agreement, the Optionee shall not be entitled to exercise that portion
of any Option if the exercise thereof would result in the direct or
beneficial ownership of Option Shares by the Optionee that would be
prohibited by the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended (the
"Charter"). The Optionee shall be deemed not to Beneficially Own or
Constructively Own (as defined in the Charter) Common Shares for which
Options are exerciseable to the extent that the exercise of such Options is
restricted by the foregoing sentence. The restriction on exercise contained
herein shall be permanent and if such restriction is in effect through the
Expiration Date then that portion of any Option so restricted shall expire
unexercised.
6. Payment of Withholding Taxes. If the Company becomes obligated to
----------------------------
withhold an amount on account of any federal, state or local income tax imposed
as a result of the exercise of an option granted under this Plan (such amount
shall be referred to herein as the "Withholding Liability"), the Optionee shall
pay the Withholding Liability to the Company in full in cash on the first date
upon which the Company becomes obligated to pay such amount withheld to the
appropriate taxing authority, and the Company may delay issuing the Common
Shares pursuant to such exercise until it receives the Withholding Liability
from the Optionee.
7. Notices. Any notice given to the Company shall be addressed to the
-------
Company at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention:
Secretary, or at such other address as the Company may hereinafter designate in
writing to Optionee. Any notice given to Optionee shall be sent to the address
set forth
4
below Optionee's signature hereto, or at such other address as Optionee may
hereafter designate in writing to the Company. Any such notice shall be deemed
duly given when sent by prepaid certified or registered mail and deposited in a
post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States
Government.
8. Stock Exchange Requirements; Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding
--------------------------------------------
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no shares of stock purchased upon
exercise of the Option, and no certificate representing all or any part of such
shares, shall be issued or delivered if (a) such shares have not been admitted
to listing upon official notice of issuance on each stock exchange upon which
shares of that class are then listed or (b) in the opinion of counsel to the
Company, such issuance or delivery would cause the Company to be in violation of
or to incur liability under any federal, state or other securities law, or any
requirement of any stock exchange listing agreement to which the Company is a
party, or any other requirement of law or of any administrative or regulatory
body having jurisdiction over the Company.
9. Nontransferability. Neither the Option nor any interest therein may
------------------
be sold, assigned, conveyed, gifted, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.
10. 1993 Plan. THE OPTION IS GRANTED PURSUANT TO THE 1993 PLAN, AS IN
---------
EFFECT ON THE DATE OF GRANT, AND IS SUBJECT TO ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF
THE 1993 PLAN, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
THAT NO SUCH AMENDMENT SHALL DEPRIVE OPTIONEE, WITHOUT HIS OR HER CONSENT, OF
THE OPTION OR OF ANY OF OPTIONEE'S RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE
INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION BY THE COMMITTEE OF THE 1993 PLAN, THIS
AGREEMENT, THE OPTION AND SUCH RULES AND REGULATIONS AS MAY BE ADOPTED BY THE
COMMITTEE FOR THE PURPOSE OF ADMINISTERING THE 1993 PLAN SHALL BE FINAL AND
BINDING UPON OPTIONEE. UNTIL THE OPTION SHALL EXPIRE, TERMINATE OR BE EXERCISED
IN FULL, THE COMPANY SHALL, UPON WRITTEN REQUEST THEREFOR, SEND A COPY OF THE
1993 PLAN, IN ITS THEN-CURRENT FORM, TO OPTIONEE OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY
THEN ENTITLED TO EXERCISE THE OPTION.
11. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a
-----------------
fraction of a Common Share in connection with the exercise of the Option. In any
case where the Optionee would be entitled to receive a fraction of a Common
Share upon the exercise of the Option, the Company shall instead, upon the
exercise of the Option, issue the largest whole number of Common Shares
purchasable upon exercise of the Option, and pay to the Optionee in cash the
Fair Market Value (as determined by the Committee) of such fraction of a Common
Share at the time of exercise of the Option.
5
12. Stockholder Rights. No person or entity shall be entitled to vote,
------------------
receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of any Option Shares
until the Option shall have been duly exercised to purchase such Option Shares
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
13. Employment Rights. No provision of this Agreement or of the Option
-----------------
granted hereunder shall (a) confer upon Optionee any right to continue in the
employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (b) affect the right of the
Company and each of its subsidiaries to terminate the employment of Optionee,
with or without cause, or (c) confer upon Optionee any right to participate in
any employee welfare or benefit plan or other program of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries other than the 1993 Plan. The Optionee hereby acknowledges and
agrees that his or her right of employment may be terminated by the Company for
any reason, with or without cause, unless the Optionee and the Company are
parties to a written agreement which expressly provides otherwise.
14. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Option granted hereunder shall
-------------
be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
State of Maryland.
15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of
----------------
the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and supersedes all prior
written or oral agreements or understandings of the parties with respect to the
matters covered herein. Optionee acknowledges that he or she has no right to
receive any additional Options unless and until such time, if any, that the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may approve the grant thereof, and that the
Company has not made any representation to the Optionee regarding future or
additional Option grants, or any other option related matters. The grant of any
options must be in writing.
16. Representation of Optionee. Optionee represents to the Company as
--------------------------
follows:
(i) The Option will be taken and received for my own account
and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution
thereof; and
(ii) I have a preexisting personal or business relationship
with the Company or its officers, directors or controlling persons, or
by reason of my business or financial experience, I can protect my own
interests in connection with my receipt and exercise of the Option.
6
17. Cancellation and Replacement of Old Option. The parties hereby
------------------------------------------
acknowledge and agree that (i) concurrently herewith the option to purchase
100,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $18.250 per share that
was granted to Optionee on November 22, 1993 (the "Old Option") is being
canceled and is no longer of any force and effect and (ii) the Option is being
granted to Optionee in the replacement of the Old Option.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and Optionee have duly executed this
