Limited Transferability of Stock Options Sample Clauses

The Limited Transferability of Stock Options clause restricts the ability of option holders to transfer or assign their stock options to others. Typically, this means that employees or other recipients cannot sell, gift, or otherwise transfer their options except in specific circumstances, such as by will or the laws of descent and distribution upon death. By limiting transferability, the clause ensures that stock options remain an incentive for the original recipient and prevents the creation of a secondary market for the options, thereby maintaining control over company ownership and aligning employee interests with those of the company.
Limited Transferability of Stock Options. The Stock Options may be transferred by such Participant to (i) the ex-spouse of the Participant pursuant to the terms of a domestic relations order, (ii) the spouse, children or grandchildren of the Participant (“Immediate Family Members”), (iii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members, or (iv) a partnership in which such Immediate Family Members are the only partners; provided that there may be no consideration for any such transfer and subsequent transfers of transferred Stock Options shall be prohibited except those in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof. Following transfer, any such Stock Options shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer, provided that for purposes of this Section 4(b) the term “Participant” shall be deemed to refer to the transferee. The events of termination of employment in the Plan shall continue to be applied with respect to the original Participant, following which the Stock Options shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the extent, and for the periods specified in the Plan. No transfer pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall have been furnished with written notice of such transfer together with such other documents regarding the transfer as the Committee shall request.
