Grant of SARs contract clause examples

Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Participant (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after such Participant’s death) shall receive from the Company # Shares, # cash or # a combination of Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of a SAR shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Shares subject to the SAR exceeds the Exercise Price.

Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Optionee (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive from the Company # Shares, # cash or # a combination of Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price.

Payment after Exercise of SARs. Subject to the provisions of the Agreement, upon the exercise of a SAR, the Participant is entitled to receive, without any payment to the Company (except for required tax withholding), an amount equal (the "SAR Value") to the product of multiplying # the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised by # an amount equal to the excess of # the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of exercise of the SAR over # the Fair Market Value per Share on the Award Date.

Upon the exercise of an SAR, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment in an amount determined by multiplying: # the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise over the grant price of the SAR by # the number of shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. At the discretion of the Committee as set forth in the instrument evidencing the Award, the payment upon exercise of an SAR may be in cash, in shares, in some combination thereof or in any other manner approved by the Committee in its sole discretion.

This SAR may be exercised by the Executive through notice to the Company or its authorized administrator specifying the number of Shares in respect to which this SAR is being exercised. Upon exercise, the Executive will receive a cash payment equal to the product of # the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant multiplied by # the number of Shares in respect to which the SAR is being exercised (less any applicable tax withholding).

Payment of SAR Amount. Upon exercise of a SAR, a Grantee shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying # the positive difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price per Share by # the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. The payment upon a SAR exercise shall be solely in whole Shares of equivalent value. Fractional Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share with no cash consideration being paid upon exercise.

Payment of the SAR Value to the Participant shall be made at the time of exercise in Shares, in cash or in a combination thereof as determined by the Committee. To the extent payment of the SAR Value to the Participant is made in Shares, such Shares shall be valued at the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. The Committee may specify in a SAR Agreement that the Shares which are delivered upon payment of the SAR Value may be Restricted Stock pursuant to Article VII and subject to such further restrictions and vesting as provided in the SAR Agreement.

Section # Settlement of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Participant shall be entitled to receive payment in Shares, or such other form as determined by the Administrator, having an aggregate value equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share on the exercise date over # the Base Price of such SAR; provided, however, that on the grant date, the Administrator may establish a maximum amount per Share that may be payable upon exercise of a SAR.

Grant of SARs. Each Option granted under the Plan may include a SAR. The maximum number of SARs that may be awarded to any participant Participant in any year shall be 1,265,625 (subject to adjustment in accordance with Article 10). Such SAR shall entitle the Optionee (or any person having the right to exercise the Option after the Optionee’s death) to surrender to the Company, unexercised, all or any part of that portion of the Option which then is exercisable and to receive from the Company Common Shares or cash, or a combination of Common Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. If a SAR is exercised, the number of Common Shares remaining subject to the related Option shall be reduced accordingly, and vice versa. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Common Shares received upon exercise of a SAR shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Common Shares subject to the surrendered portion of the Option exceeds the Exercise Price. In no event shall any SAR be exercised if such Fair Market Value does not exceed the Exercise Price. A SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in a NSO at the time of grant or at any subsequent time.

Subject to the discretion of the Administrator to substitute cash for Shares, or some portion of the Shares for cash, the amount of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of a SAR shall be determined by dividing: # the total number of Shares as to which the SAR is exercised, multiplied by the amount by which the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the exercise date exceeds the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of the SAR; by # the Fair Market Value of a Share on the exercise date; provided, however, that fractional Shares shall not be issued and in lieu thereof, a cash adjustment shall be paid. In lieu of issuing Shares upon the exercise of a SAR, the Administrator in its sole discretion may elect to pay the cash equivalent of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the exercise date for any or all of the Shares that would otherwise be issuable upon exercise of the SAR.
