STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS

No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised; provided , however , that Participants are entitled to share adjustments to reflect capital changes under Section 7.06.

 

 

ARTICLE VI

 

STOCK OPTIONS

 

6.01           Option Awards.

 

(a)             General.   The Committee may grant, to such Participants as the Committee may select, Options entitling the Participant to purchase shares of Common Stock from the Company in such number, at such price, and on such terms and subject to such conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as may be established by the Committee.  The terms of any Option granted under this Plan shall be set forth in an Option Agreement.

 

(b)             Purchase Price of Options.   The Option Price of each share of Common Stock which may be purchased upon exercise of any Option granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee; provided , however , that (i) with respect to Incentive Stock Options, the Option Price per share shall in all cases be equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant as required under Section 422 of the Code, and (ii) with respect to any Incentive Stock Option granted to any Ten Percent Shareholder, the Option Price per share shall in all cases be equal to or greater than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant as required under Section 422 of the Code.

 

 

 


 


 

(c)             Designation of Options.   Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, the Committee may designate, at the time of the grant of each Option, the Option as an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

 

(d)             Incentive Stock Option Limitations .  No Participant may be granted Incentive Stock Options under the Plan (or any other plans of the Company), which would result in shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (measured on the Date of Grant) of more than $100,000 first becoming exercisable in any one calendar year. No Participant may be granted Incentive Stock Options under the Plan (or any other plans of the Company) unless the Participant is an employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries. An individual shall not cease to be an employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company and its subsidiaries. For purposes of an Option initially granted as an Incentive Stock Option, if a leave of absence of more than three months precludes such Option from being treated as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code, such Option thereafter shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option for purposes of this Plan. Neither service as a director nor payment of a director’s fee by the Company shall be sufficient to constitute “employment” by the Company.

 

(e)             Rights as a Shareholder .  A Participant or a transferee of an Option pursuant to Section 7.04 shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to Common Stock covered by an Option until the Participant or transferee shall have become the holder of record of any such shares, and no adjustment shall be made for dividends in cash or other property or distributions or other rights with respect to any such Common Stock for which the record date is prior to the date on which the Participant or a transferee of the Option shall have become the holder of record of any such shares covered by the Option; provided , however , that Participants are entitled to share adjustments to reflect capital changes under Section 7.06.

 

(f)            Vesting. In the event that an Option Agreement does not provide for a vesting schedule, the Options covered thereby shall become exercisable as to (a) one third of the shares subject to the Option Agreement on the first anniversary of the grant of the Option, (b) one third of the shares subject to the Option on the second anniversary of the grant of the Option and (c) one third of the shares subject to the Option on the third anniversary of the grant of the Option.
