Grant of Options contract clause examples

Grant of Options. On each Offering Date, the Company will grant to each eligible employee who is then a Participant in the Plan an option (“Option”) to purchase on the last day of such Offering (the “Exercise Date”), at the Option Price hereinafter provided for, the lowest of # a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing such Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions on such Exercise Date by the lower of # 85 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Offering Date, or # 85 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Exercise Date, # 1,500 shares; or # such other lesser maximum number of shares as shall have been established by the Administrator in advance of the Offering; provided, however, that such Option shall be subject to the limitations set forth below. Each Participant’s Option shall be exercisable only to the extent of such Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions on the Exercise Date. The purchase price for each share purchased under each Option (the “Option Price”) will be 85 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Offering Date or the Exercise Date, whichever is less.

Exercise of Option and Purchase of Shares. Each employee who continues to be a Participant in the Plan on the Exercise Date shall be deemed to have exercised his or her Option on such date and shall acquire from the Company such number of whole shares of Common Stock reserved for the purpose of the Plan as his or her accumulated payroll deductions on such date will purchase at the Option Price, subject to any other limitations contained in the Plan. Any amount remaining in a Participant’s account at the end of an Offering solely by reason of the inability to purchase a fractional share will be carried forward to the next Offering; any other balance remaining in a Participant’s account at the end of an Offering will be refunded to the Participant promptly.

Grant. The Company hereby grants to Participant, as a matter of separate inducement and agreement in connection with Participant’s service to the Company, the right and option to purchase (“Option”) all or any part of an aggregate of ​ Common Units (“Option Units”), on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, subject to adjustment as provided in [Section 8] of the Plan, at a purchase price per Option Unit of $1.00 (“Exercise Price”). The Exercise Price is equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date hereof, which is the date on which the Option was granted to Participant (“Option Date”). This Option is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

On the Offering Commencement Date for the applicable Plan Purchase Period, the Company will grant to each eligible employee who is then a participant in the Plan an option (a “Purchase Right”) to purchase on the last business day of such Plan Purchase Period (the “Purchase Exercise Date”) at the applicable purchase price (the “Purchase Right Price”) up to that whole number of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Right Shares”) determined by # dividing $25,000 by 12, # multiplying the result by the number of full months in the Plan Purchase Period and # dividing the result by the closing price (as determined below) on the Offering Commencement Date; provided, however, that no employee may be granted an Purchase Right which permits his or her rights to purchase Common Stock under this Plan and any other employee stock purchase plan (as defined in Section 423(b) of the Code) of the Company and its subsidiaries, to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of such Common Stock (determined at the date such Purchase Right is granted) for each calendar year in which the Purchase Right is outstanding at any time; and, provided, further, however, that the Committee may, in its discretion, set a fixed maximum number of shares of Common Stock that each eligible employee may purchase per Plan Purchase Period which number may not be greater than the number of shares of Common Stock determined by using the formula in the first clause of this Section 9(a) and which number shall be subject to the second clause of this Section 9(a).
