MORGAN HOTELS GROUP CO.
2007 AMENDED AND RESTATED OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION
AGREEMENT
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This option is
intended to be an incentive stock option under Section 422 of
the Internal Revenue Code and will be interpreted accordingly. If
you cease to be an employee of the Company, its parent or a
subsidiary (“Employee”) but continue to provide
Service, this option will be deemed a nonstatutory stock option
three months after you cease to be an Employee. In addition, to the
extent that all or part of this option exceeds the $100,000 rule of
section 422(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, this option or the
lesser excess part will be deemed to be a nonstatutory stock
option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This option is
only exercisable before it expires and then only with respect to
the vested portion of the option. Subject to the preceding
sentence, you may exercise this option, in whole or in part, to
purchase a whole number of vested shares not less than 100 shares,
unless the number of shares purchased is the total number available
for purchase under the option, by following the procedures set
forth in the Plan and below in this Agreement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your right to
the Stock under this Incentive Stock Option Agreement vests as to
[one-third (1/3rd) of the total number of shares of Stock covered
by this grant, as shown on the cover sheet, each year on each of
the first three one-year anniversaries of the Vesting Start Date],
provided you then continue in Service. The resulting aggregate
number of vested shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole
number, and you cannot vest in more than the number of shares
covered by this option.
No additional shares of Stock will vest after your Service has
terminated for any reason.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your option
will expire in any event at the close of business at Company
headquarters on the day before the 10th anniversary of the Grant
Date, as shown on the cover sheet. Your option will expire earlier
if your Service terminates, as described below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your Service
terminates for any reason, other than death, Disability or Cause,
then your option will expire at the close of business at Company
headquarters on the 90th day after your termination
date.
|
2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your Service
is terminated for Cause, then you shall immediately forfeit all
rights to your option and the option shall immediately
expire.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your Service
terminates because of your death, then your option will expire at
the close of business at Company headquarters on the date twelve
(12) months after the date of death. During that twelve month
period, your estate or heirs may exercise the vested portion of
your option.
In addition, if you die during the 90-day period described in
connection with a regular termination (i.e., a termination of your
Service not on account of your death, Disability or Cause), and a
vested portion of your option has not yet been exercised, then your
option will instead expire on the date twelve (12) months
after your termination date. In such a case, during the period
following your death up to the date twelve (12) months after your
termination date, your estate or heirs may exercise the vested
portion of your option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your Service
terminates because of your Disability, then your option will expire
at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date twelve
(12) months after your termination date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For purposes of
this option, your Service does not terminate when you go on a
bona fide employee leave of absence that was approved by the
Company in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued
Service crediting, or when continued Service crediting is required
by applicable law. However, your Service will be treated as
terminating 90 days after you went on employee leave, unless
your right to return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a
contract. Your Service terminates in any event when the approved
leave ends unless you immediately return to active employee
work.
The Company determines, in its sole discretion, which leaves count
for this purpose, and when your Service terminates for all purposes
under the Plan.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you wish
to exercise this option, you must notify the Company by filing the
proper “Notice of Exercise” form at the address given
on the form. Your notice must specify how many shares you wish to
purchase (in a parcel of at least 100 shares generally). Your
notice must also specify how your shares of Stock should be
registered (e.g. in your name only or in your and your
spouse’s names as joint tenants with right of survivorship).
The notice will be effective when it is received by the
Company.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If someone else
wants to exercise this option after your death, that person must
prove to the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is
entitled to do so.

When you submit
your notice of exercise, you must include payment of the option
price for the shares you are purchasing. Payment may be made in one
