Treatment of Stock Options 6 ARTICLE III.
Exercise of Stock Options If stock options granted in connection with a Stock Incentive Plan are exercised:
Conversion of Stock Options (a) At the Effective Time, each option to purchase or other right with respect to shares of Magna Common Stock pursuant to stock options, stock appreciation rights or other rights, including stock awards ("Magna Options") granted by Magna under the Magna Stock Plans, which are outstanding at the Effective Time, whether or not exercisable, shall be converted into and become rights with respect to UPC Common Stock, and UPC shall assume each Magna Option, in accordance with the terms of the Magna Stock Plan and stock option or other agreement by which it is evidenced, except that from and after the Effective Time, (i) UPC and its Salary and Benefits Committee shall be substituted for Magna and the Committee of Magna's Board of Directors (including, if applicable, the entire Board of Directors of Magna) or other independent committee administering such Magna Stock Plan, (ii) each Magna Option assumed by UPC may be exercised solely for shares of UPC Common Stock (or cash in the case of stock appreciation rights), (iii) the number of shares of UPC Common Stock subject to such Magna Option shall be equal to the number of shares of Magna Common Stock subject to such Magna Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio and rounding down to the nearest whole share, and (iv) the per share exercise price under each such Magna Option shall be adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price under each such Magna Option by the Exchange Ratio and rounding up to the nearest cent. Notwithstanding the clauses (iii) and (iv) of the first sentence of this Section 3.5, each Magna Option which is an "incentive stock option" shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Internal Revenue Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the option, within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Internal Revenue Code. UPC and Magna agree to take all necessary steps to effectuate the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.5.
Grant of Stock Options This non-qualified Stock Option is granted under and pursuant to the Plan and is subject to each and all of the provisions thereof.
Exercise of Stock Option (a) The Optionee may exercise this Option only in the following manner: from time to time on or prior to the Expiration Date of this Option, the Optionee may give written notice to the Board of Directors or its authorized committee (the “Administrator”) of his or her election to purchase some or all of the vested Option Shares purchasable at the time of such notice. This notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased. Payment of the Stock Option purchase price for the Option Shares may be made by one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator; (ii) in the form of shares of Stock that are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan and that have been held by the Optionee for at least six months prior to the exercise date; or (iii) by the Optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Administrator to pay the Stock Option purchase price, provided that in the event the Optionee chooses to pay the Stock Option purchase price as so provided in this subsection (iii), the Optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure. Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. The delivery of certificates representing the Option Shares will be contingent upon the Company’s receipt from the Optionee of full payment for the Option Shares, as set forth above and any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Administrator may require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of Options under the Plan and any subsequent resale of the shares of Stock will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Cancellation of Options In exchange for the consideration described in Section 1.2 below, the Participant hereby agrees that the Award Agreement and the Participant’s interests in the Underwater Options shall be cancelled, terminated, and of no further force or effect, effective as of the Effective Date, and that neither the Company nor the Participant shall have any further rights or obligations with respect to the Award Agreement, the Underwater Options, or with respect to which any shares of Common Stock that could have been acquired upon vesting and exercise of the Underwater Options.
Exercise of Nonstatutory Stock Option There may be a regular ------------------------------------- federal income tax liability upon the exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option. The Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. If Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee's compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.
Cancellation of Shares If the Corporation shall make available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Purchased Shares to be repurchased in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then from and after such time, the person from whom such shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such shares shall be deemed purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, and the Corporation shall be deemed the owner and holder of such shares, whether or not the certificates therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement.
