Any outstanding stock options held by an employee as of the date of his or her Qualifying Retirement shall be exercisable only to the extent such stock options are exercisable as of such date or become exercisable pursuant to the terms of the underlying option award agreements and shall remain exercisable until the option expiration date.
Stock Options. During each of the calendar years 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the Compensation Committee will in good faith consider granting to you stock options to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock under the LTIP as and when other senior members of the ’s management team reporting to you are considered for annual equity grants by the Compensation Committee, and consistent with past practice with respect to the deliberations regarding, but not the amount of, your discretionary stock option grants (any such discretionary option grant, a “Discretionary Option Grant”); provided, however, that such consideration by the Compensation Committee does not guarantee (and should not be construed as a guarantee) that you will receive a Discretionary Option Grant in any such calendar year. The amount of any such grant(s) will be determined by the Compensation Committee, in its sole and reasonable discretion. The Compensation Committee, when considering whether it believes any such Discretionary Option Grant may be appropriate, will take into account the ’s financial and stock performance relative to its diversified media and entertainment peer companies, and, in particular whether the ’s financial and stock performance is due, at least in part, to operating factors that have generally affected companies in the industry in a similar fashion. Any Discretionary Option Grant shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the agreement evidencing such grant, which, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be no less favorable to you than the terms and conditions generally applicable to other senior executives of , provided that any such Discretionary Option Grant will provide for vesting in full not later than (provided you remain employed on such date), and subject to acceleration and all other applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Chair of the Compensation Committee will communicate to you the Compensation Committee’s rationale with respect to the Discretionary Option Grant for each calendar year (or if no Discretionary Option Grant is made for any calendar year, the Compensation Committee’s rationale for deciding not to make such a grant) promptly following its decision.
Vesting Period: Ratably over four (4) years, with twenty-five percent (25%) becoming exercisable on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversary of the grant date, except as provided in the Plan.
Stock Options. The Committee (or, with respect to Directors, the Board) may grant Options in accordance with the Plan, the terms and conditions of which shall be set forth in an Agreement. Each Option and Option Agreement shall be subject to the following conditions:
Incentive Stock Options. An Option that the Board intends to be an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code (an Incentive Stock Option) shall only be granted to employees of the Company, any of the Companys present or future parent or subsidiary corporations as defined in [[Sections 424(e) or (f)])]])] of the Code, and any other entities the employees of which are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Code. The Option shall be subject to and shall be construed consistently with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, and without limiting generality of the foregoing, the Option shall be deemed to include terms that comply with the eligibility standards described section 422(b) of the Code. Subject to the remaining provisions of this [Section 5(b)], if an Option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option does not so qualify, the Board may, at its discretion, amend the Plan and Award with respect to such Option so that such Option qualifies as an Incentive Stock Option. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any affiliates) exceeds (or such other limit established in the Code) or otherwise does not comply with the rules governing Incentive Stock Options, the Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) or otherwise do not comply with the rules will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the applicable Award. The Company shall have no liability to a Participant, or any other party, if an Option (or any part thereof) that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option is not an Incentive Stock Option or for any action taken by the Board, including without limitation the conversion of an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock Option.
Stock Options; Vesting. Each Option shall be exercisable in such installments (which need not be equal) and at such times as may be designated by the Committee or the Board as set forth in the Option Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, to the extent not exercised, installments shall accumulate and be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time after becoming exercisable, but not later than the date the Option expires. Upon the death, Disability or Retirement of a Grantee, all Options shall become immediately exercisable, provided, however, that the Committee shall have the authority to grant Options that do not become immediately exercisable in the event of the death, Disability or Retirement of a Grantee by including such provision in the Option Agreement evidencing such Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee (or, with respect to Directors, the Board) may accelerate the exercisability of any Option or portion thereof at any time.
Nonqualified Stock Options. The per-Share Exercise Price under a Nonqualified Stock Option shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.
Non-Qualified Stock Options. Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement or otherwise determined at any time by the Compensation Committee, no NQSO granted under this [Article 6] may be sold, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided that the Board or Compensation Committee may permit further transferability, on a general or a specific basis, and may impose conditions and limitations on any permitted transferability. Further, except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement or otherwise determined at any time by the Compensation Committee, or unless the Board or Compensation Committee decides to permit further transferability, all NQSOs granted to a Participant under this [Article 6] shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant. With respect to those NQSOs, if any, that are permitted to be transferred to another person, references in the Plan to exercise or payment of the Option Price by the Participant shall be deemed to include, as determined by the Compensation Committee, the Participant’s permitted transferee.
