Exercise. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Option shall be exercisable at such time or times and only to the extent that the related Option is exercisable, and will not be transferable except to the extent the related Option may be transferable. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable only if the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise exceeds the purchase price specified in the related Incentive Stock Option.
Exercise. Subject to Section 7(f), a Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Option shall be exercisable at such time or times and only to the extent that the related Option is exercisable, and will not be transferable except to the extent the related Option may be transferable. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable only if the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise exceeds the purchase price specified in the related Incentive Stock Option.
Exercise. A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the holder of a Stock Option to receive, upon the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right, shares of Stock (valued at their Fair Market Value at the time of exercise), cash or a combination thereof, in the discretion of the Board, in an amount equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock subject to the Stock Appreciation Right as of the date of such exercise over the purchase price of the Stock Appreciation Right, as shall be prescribed by the Board in its sole discretion and as shall be contained in the Participant’s Award Agreement. If granted in tandem with an option, the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right will result in the surrender of the related Incentive Stock Option or Non-Qualified Stock Option and, unless otherwise provided by the Board in its sole discretion, the exercise of a Stock Option will result in the surrender of a related Stock Appreciation Right, if any.
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in a related Award Agreement, a Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised for all or any portion of the Shares for which it is then exercisable. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercised by the delivery of a notice of exercise to the Company or its designee in a form specified by the Committee that sets forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is to be exercised. Upon exercise, a Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle a Participant to an amount equal to: (a) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the exercise date over the exercise price per Share, multiplied by (b) the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. A Stock Appreciation Right may be settled in full Shares, cash, or a combination thereof, as specified by the Committee in the related Award Agreement.
Method of Exercise. A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised in whole or in part during the term by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Shares in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised. The notice must be given by or on behalf of a person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, subject to satisfaction of the tax withholding requirements pursuant to Article 15, the holder of the Stock Appreciation Right is entitled to receive Shares or cash as specified in the original Award Agreement (as set forth below) equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the exercise date over the Exercise Price of the SAR multiplied by the number of Stock Appreciation Rights being exercised. At any time the Fair Market Value of a Share on a proposed exercise date does not exceed the Exercise Price of the SAR, the holder of the Stock Appreciation Right shall not be permitted to exercise such right.
