Committee shall from time to time require which are not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.
-
- Number of Option Shares . Each Option
Document shall state the number of Shares to which it pertains. An
Optionee may receive more than one Option, which may include both
Options which are intended to be ISOs and Options that are not
intended to be ISOs, but only on the terms and subject to the
conditions and restrictions of the Plan.
- Option Price . Each Option Document
shall state the Option Price, which, for all Options, shall be at
least 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the
Option is granted as determined by the Committee; provided,
however, that if an ISO is granted to an Optionee who then owns,
directly or by attribution under Section 424(d) of the Code, shares
possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or an Affiliate, then the Option
Price shall be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares
on the date the Option is granted. If the Shares are traded in a
public market, then the Fair Market Value per share shall be, if
the Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the mean
between the highest and lowest quoted selling prices thereof, or,
if the Shares are not so listed, the mean between the closing "bid"
and "asked" prices thereof, as applicable and as the Committee
determines, on the day the Option is granted, as reported in
customary financial reporting services.
- Exercise . No Option shall be
exercised prior to the receipt by the Company of written notice of
such exercise and of payment in full of the Option Price for the
Shares to be purchased. Each such notice shall specify the number
of Shares to be purchased and shall (unless the Shares are covered
by a then current registration statement or a Notification under
Regulation A under the Act) contain the Optionee's acknowledgment
in form and substance satisfactory to the Company that (a) such
Shares are being purchased for investment and not for distribution
or resale (other than a distribution or resale which, in the
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, may be made without
violating the registration provisions of the Act), (b) the Optionee
has been advised and understands that (i) the Shares have not
been registered under the Act and are "restricted securities"
within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act and are subject to
restrictions on transfer and (ii) the Company is under no
obligation to register the Shares under the Act or to take any
action which would make available to the Optionee any exemption
from such registration, (c) such Shares may not be transferred
without compliance with all applicable federal and state securities
laws, and (d) an appropriate legend referring to the foregoing
restrictions on transfer and any other restrictions imposed under
the Option Documents may be endorsed on the certificates.
Notwithstanding the above, should the Company be advised by counsel
that issuance of Shares should be delayed pending (A) registration
under federal or state securities laws or (B) the receipt of an
opinion that an appropriate exemption therefrom is available, the
Company may defer exercise of any Option granted hereunder until
either such event in (A) or (B) has occurred.
- Medium of Payment . An Optionee shall
pay for Shares subject to an Option (i) in cash, (ii) by certified
check payable to the order of the Company, or (iii) by such other
mode of payment as the Committee may approve, including payment
