Non-assignability and Non-transferability. The rights and obligations of the Employee under this Agreement are expressly declared and agreed to be personal, nonassignable and nontransferable during the Employee’s life.
Transferability of Stock Appreciation Rights. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, a Stock Appreciation Right # shall be transferable by the Participant to a Family Member of the Participant, provided that # any such transfer shall be by gift with no consideration and # no subsequent transfer of such Stock Appreciation Right shall be permitted other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and # shall not otherwise be transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant or by the guardian or legal representative of the Participant, it being understood that the terms “holder” and “Participant” include the guardian and legal representative of the Participant named in the applicable award agreement and any person to whom the Stock Appreciation Right is transferred # pursuant to the first sentence of this [Section 5(g)] or pursuant to the applicable stock appreciation rights agreement or # by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, references herein to the termination of a Participant’s employment or provision of services shall mean the termination of employment or provision of services of the person to whom the Stock Appreciation Right was originally granted.
Limited Transferability Rights. Notwithstanding anything else in this [Section 12], the Committee may in its discretion provide in an Award Agreement that an Award relating to non-ISOs, SARs settled only in Shares, Restricted Shares, or Performance Shares may be transferred, on such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate, either # by instrument to the Participant’s “Immediate Family” (as defined below), # by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust (or other entity) in which the Award is to be passed to the Participant’s designated beneficiaries, or # by gift to charitable institutions. Each share of restricted stock shall be non-transferable until such share becomes non-forfeitable. Any transferee of the Participant’s rights shall succeed and be subject to all of the terms of the applicable Award Agreement and the Plan. “Immediate Family” means any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, and shall include adoptive relationships.
Except as otherwise provided in this Award Agreement, the Option may be exercised by Participant in accordance with the following schedule:
Section # Terms and Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights; Limitations on Exercise and Transferability of Stock Appreciation Rights.
Neither this Agreement nor any of the parties’ rights hereunder shall be assignable by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void.
NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF RIGHTS. Purchase rights granted an employee under the Plan are exercisable, during such employee's lifetime, only by him; they may not be sold, transferred (other than by will or laws of descent or distribution), pledged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered.
Transferability after Death of a Participant. For the purpose of exercising Options or Stock Appreciation Rights after the death of the Participant:
Non-Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase Rights. Options and Stock Purchase Rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Holder, only by the Holder.
The Company grants the Executive Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) with respect to Shares of the common stock of the Company.
Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Administrator will determine all terms and conditions of each SAR, including but not limited to: # whether the SAR is granted independently of an Option or relates to an Option; # the grant date, which may not be any day prior to the date that the Administrator approves the grant; # the number of Shares to which the SAR relates; # the grant price, provided that the grant price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the SAR as determined on the date of grant; # the terms and conditions of exercise or maturity, including vesting; # the term, provided that an SAR must terminate no later than ten (10) years after the date of grant; and # whether the SAR will be settled in cash, Shares or a combination thereof. If an SAR is granted in relation to an Option, then unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the SAR shall be exercisable or shall mature at the same time or times, on the same conditions and to the extent and in the proportion, that the related Option is exercisable and may be exercised or mature for all or part of the Shares subject to the related Option. Upon exercise of any number of SARs, the number of Shares subject to the related Option shall be reduced accordingly and such Option may not be exercised with respect to that number of Shares. The exercise of any number of Options that relate to an SAR shall likewise result in an equivalent reduction in the number of Shares covered by the related SAR.
Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Participants. Subject to the terms of the Plan, a Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall confer on the holder thereof a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of # the fair market value of one Share on the date of exercise or, if the Committee shall so determine in the case of any such right other than one related to any Incentive Stock Option, at any time during a specified period before or after the date of exercise over # the fair market value on the date of grant. To the extent a Stock Appreciation Right is not previously exercised as to all of the Shares subject thereto, and if the fair market value of one Share is greater than the exercise price then in effect, then the Stock Appreciation Right shall be deemed automatically exercised immediately before its expiration.
Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted under the Plan on a stand-alone basis only. The Administrator shall have the authority to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to any Participant. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by award agreements, each in a form approved by the Administrator. The grant of a Stock Appreciation Right shall occur as of the date the Administrator determines, subject to FASB Statement 123(R) and guidance thereunder.
Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to any Eligible Person in conjunction with all or part of any Option granted under the Plan or at any subsequent time during the term of such Option (a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right), or without regard to any Option (a Freestanding Stock Appreciation Right), in each case upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish in its sole discretion, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, including the following:
Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is authorized to grant SARs to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions:
Transferability. This Award may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance not permitted by this [Section 8] shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate.
