Substitution of Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, substitute an Award of Stock Appreciation Rights for an outstanding Option at any time prior to or upon exercise of such Option; provided, however, that such Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable with respect to the same number of Shares for which such substituted Option would have been exercisable, and shall also have the same exercise price and remaining term as the substituted Option.
Expiration of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan will expire upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of [Section 6.4] relating to the maximum term and [Section 6.5] relating to exercise also will apply to Stock Appreciation Rights.
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.
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to adjustment as provided in [Section 5.3], no Employee shall be granted within any fiscal year of the Company one or more Options or Freestanding Stock Appreciation Rights which in the aggregate are for more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance as Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under this Plan. An Option which is canceled in the same fiscal year of the Company in which it was granted shall continue to be counted against such limit for such fiscal year.
Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. All Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercised automatically on the last day prior to the expiration date of the Stock Appreciation Right or, in the case of Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights, any related stock option, so long as the Fair Market Value of a Share on that date exceeds the exercise price per share of the Stock Appreciation Right or any related stock option, as applicable.
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this [Section 8(b)], Options and Stock Appreciation Rights with an Exercise Price or grant price not less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant awarded to Covered Employees are intended to be [Section 162(m)] Awards even if not otherwise contingent upon achievement of a pre-established performance goal or goals with respect to the business criteria listed above.
The Plan permits the grant of Incentive Stock Options, Nonstatutory Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Performance Awards.
In the event Grantee ceases to be a Non-Employee Director due to Retirement, all Stock Appreciation Rights held by such Grantee shall continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the Grant and all such Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercised on the date determined by the Committee and set forth in the Grant Agreement evidencing such Grant.
Grant. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to an Eligible Director alone, in addition to or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan or cash awards made outside of the Plan.
