Incentive Stock Options Clause Samples

Incentive Stock Options. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Exercise Price shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date; provided, however, that if on the Grant Date, the Employee (together with persons whose stock ownership is attributed to the Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Exercise Price shall be not less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.

Incentive Stock Options. Participant acknowledges that to the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares (determined as of the time the option with respect to the Shares is granted) with respect to which Incentive Stock Options, including this Option (if applicable), are exercisable for the first time by Participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000 or if for any other reason such Incentive Stock Options do not qualify or cease to qualify for treatment as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code, such Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. Participant further acknowledges that the rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking the Option and other stock options into account in the order in which they were granted, as determined under Section 422(d) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Participant also acknowledges that an Incentive Stock Option exercised more than three (3) months after Participant’s Termination of Service, other than by reason of death or disability, will be taxed as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

Incentive Stock Options. If the Stock Options have been designated on page 1 of the Award Agreement as Incentive Stock Options, then no taxable income is realized by the Participant upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan, and if no disposition of those Shares is made by the Participant within two years after the Grant Date or within one year after the transfer of those Shares to the Participant, then (a) upon the sale of the Shares, any amount realized in excess of the Option Price will be taxed as a long-term capital gain and any loss sustained will be taxed as a long-term capital loss, and (b) no deduction will be allowed to the Company for federal income tax purposes. Upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, the Participant may be subject to alternative minimum tax on certain items of tax preference. If the Shares acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option are disposed of prior to the expiration of the two-years-from-grant/one-year-from-transfer holding period, generally (a) the Participant will realize ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares at exercise (or, if less, the amount realized upon disposition of the Shares) over the exercise price, and (b) the Company will be entitled to deduct such amount. Any additional gain or loss realized will be taxed as short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, as the case may be, and may not be deducted by the Company. If an Incentive Stock Option is exercised at a time when it no longer qualifies as an Incentive Stock Option, the option will be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. In addition, if the aggregate fair market value of Shares (determined at the Grant Date) subject to Stock Options designated as Incentive Stock Options held by the Participant that first become exercisable during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, then the portion of such Incentive Stock Options equal to such excess shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.

Incentive Stock Options. All Incentive Stock Options (i) shall have an exercise price per share of Common Stock of not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such share on the date of grant, (ii) shall not be exercisable more than ten years after the date of grant, (iii) shall not be transferable other than by will or under the laws of descent and distribution and, during the lifetime of the Participant to whom such Incentive Stock Options were granted, may be exercised only by such Participant (or his guardian or legal representative), and (iv) shall be exercisable only during the Participant's employment by the Company or a Subsidiary, provided, that the Board may, in its discretion, provide at the time that an Incentive Stock Option is granted that such Incentive Stock Option may be exercised for a period ending no later than either (x) the termination of this Plan in the event of the Participant's death while an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, or (y) the date which is three months after termination of the Participant's employment for any other reason. The Board's discretion to extend the period during which an Incentive Stock Option is exercisable shall only apply if and to the extent that (i) the Participant was entitled to exercise such Option on the date of termination, and (ii) such Option would not have expired had the Participant continued to be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any individual during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Options which are not Incentive Stock Options.

If Shares purchased under an ISO are disposed of within the applicable one (1) year or two (2) year period, any gain realized on such disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price.
