Exhibit 10.2
FORM OF
FX REAL ESTATE AND ENTERTAINMENT INC.
2007 EXECUTIVE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
[ ]
Agreement
1. Grant of Option. FX REAL ESTATE AND ENTERTAINMENT INC. (the “Company”) hereby
grants, as of [ ] (“Date of Grant”), to [ ] (the “Optionee”) an option (the
“Option”) to purchase up to [ ] shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock,
$0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), at an exercise price per share equal to $[not less than
100% of the Fair Market Value] (the “Exercise Price”). The Option shall be subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein. The Option was issued pursuant to the Company’s 2007 EXECUTIVE
EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein for all purposes. The Option is a
Non-Qualified Stock Option, and not an Incentive Stock Option. The Optionee hereby acknowledges
receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions hereof and
thereof and all applicable laws and regulations.
2. Definitions. Unless otherwise provided herein, terms used herein that are defined
in the Plan and not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed thereto in the Plan.
3. Exercise Schedule. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6 or 9 of this
Agreement, or in the Plan, the Option is exercisable in installments as provided below, which shall
be cumulative. To the extent that the Option has become exercisable with respect to a percentage of
the Option as provided below, the Option may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee, in whole or
in part, at any time or from time to time prior to the expiration of the Option as provided herein.
The following table indicates each date upon which the percentage of the Option has vested (the
“Vesting Date”) and the date upon which the percentage of the Option has become exercisable (the
“Exercisable Date”), provided that the Continuous Service of the Optionee continues through and on
the applicable Vesting Date:
| Percentage of Option | Vesting Date | Exercisable Date | ||
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, there shall be no proportionate or partial
vesting in the periods prior to each Vesting Date, and all vesting shall occur only on the
appropriate Vesting Date. Upon the termination of the Optionee’s Continuous Service with the
Company and its Related Entities, any unvested portion of the Option shall terminate and be null
and void.
4. Method of Exercise. The vested portion of this Option shall be exercisable in
whole or in part in accordance with the exercise schedule set forth in Section 3 hereof by written
notice which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of
which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as to the
holder’s investment intent with respect to such Shares as may be required by the Company pursuant
to the provisions of the Plan. Such written notice shall be signed by the Optionee and shall be
delivered in person or by certified mail to the Secretary of the Company. The written notice shall
be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised after
both (a) receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by the Exercise Price and (b)
arrangements that are satisfactory to the Committee in its sole discretion have been made for
Optionee’s payment to the Company of the amount, if any, that is necessary to be withheld in
accordance with applicable Federal or state withholding requirements. No Shares shall be issued
pursuant to the Option unless and until such issuance and such exercise shall comply with all
relevant provisions of applicable law, including the requirements of any stock exchange upon which
the Shares then may be traded.
5. Method of Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of the
following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee: (a) cash; (b) check; (c)
proceeds from the sale of Shares pursuant to broker-assisted “cashless” exercise procedures and
guidelines approved by the Committee; (d) by the withholding of Shares issuable upon exercise of
the Option; (e) by the delivery of shares of Common Stock held by the Optionee to the extent held
for such period of time, if any, required to avoid a charge to the earnings of the Company for
financial accounting purposes; or (f) such other consideration or in such other manner as may be
determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion.
6. Termination of Option.
(a) Any unexercised portion of the Option shall automatically and without notice terminate and
become null and void at the time of the earliest to occur of the following:
(i) unless the Committee otherwise determines in writing in its sole discretion, three months
after the date on which the Optionee’s Continuous Service is terminated other than by reason of (A)
by the Company or a Related Entity for Cause, (B) a Disability of the Optionee as determined by a
medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee, or (C) the death of the Optionee;
(ii) immediately upon the termination of the Optionee’s Continuous Service by the Company or a
Related Entity for Cause;
(iii) the tenth anniversary of the date as of which the Option is granted if the Optionee’s
Continuous Service is terminated by reason of a Disability as determined by a medical doctor
satisfactory to the Committee;
(iv) the tenth anniversary of the date as of which the Option is granted if the Optionee’s
Continuous Service is terminated by reason of the death of the Optionee, ; or
2
(v) the tenth anniversary of the date as of which the Option is granted.
(b) To the extent not previously exercised, (i) the Option shall terminate immediately in the
event of (1) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (2) any reorganization, merger,
consolidation or other form of corporate transaction in which the Company does not survive or the
Shares are exchanged for or converted into securities issued by another entity, or an affiliate of
such successor or acquiring entity, unless the successor or acquiring entity, or an affiliate
thereof, assumes the Option or substitutes an equivalent option or right pursuant to Section 9(c)
of the Plan, and (ii) the Committee in its sole discretion may by written notice (“cancellation
notice”) cancel, effective upon the consummation of any corporate transaction described in Section
8(b)(i) of the Plan, the Option (or portion thereof) that remains unexercised on such date. The
Committee shall give written notice of any proposed transaction referred to in this Section 6(b) a
reasonable period of time prior to the closing date for such transaction (which notice may be given
either before or after approval of such transaction), in order that the Optionee may have a
reasonable period of time prior to the closing date of such transaction within which to exercise
the Option if and to the extent that it then is exercisable (including any portion of the Option
that may become exercisable upon the closing date of such transaction). The Optionee may condition
his exercise of the Option upon the consummation of a transaction referred to in this Section 6(b).
7. Transferability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Option granted
hereby is not transferable otherwise than by will or under the applicable laws of descent and
distribution, and during the lifetime of the Optionee the Option shall be exercisable only by the
Optionee, or the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative. In addition, the Option shall not be
assigned, negotiated, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or
otherwise), and the Option shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon
any attempt to transfer, assign, negotiate, pledge or hypothecate the Option, or in the event of
any levy upon the Option by reason of any execution, attachment or similar process contrary to the
provisions hereof, the Option shall immediately become null and void. The terms of this Option
shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.
8. No Rights of Stockholders. Neither the Optionee nor any personal representative
(or beneficiary) shall be, or shall have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the
Company with respect to any Shares purchasable or issuable upon the exercise of the Option, in
whole or in part, prior to the date of exercise of the Option.
9. Acceleration of Exercisability of Option.
(a) This Option shall immediately vest and become fully exercisable in the event that, prior
to the termination of the Option pursuant to Section 6 hereof, (i) the Option is terminated
pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) hereof, or (ii) the Company exercises its discretion to provide a
cancellation notice with respect to the Option pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) hereof.
(b) This Option shall immediately vest and become fully exercisable if the Optionee’s
Continuous Service is terminated by reason of (i) a Disability of the Optionee as
3
determined by a
medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee, (ii) the Company or a Related Entity without Cause or
(iii) the death of the Optionee.
(c) This Option shall become immediately fully exercisable in the event that, prior to the
termination of the Option pursuant to Section 6 hereof, and during the Optionee’s Continuous
Service, there is a “Change in Control”, as defined in Section 9(b) of the Plan.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the event of a Change in Control the successor
company assumes or substitutes for the Option, the vesting of the Option shall not be accelerated
as described in Section 9(b). For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option shall be considered
assumed or substituted for if following the Change in Control the Option or substituted option
confers the right to purchase, for each Share subject to the Option immediately prior to the Change
in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) received in the
transaction constituting a Change in Control by holders of Shares for each Share held on the
effective date of such transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type
of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however,
that if such consideration received in the transaction constituting a Change in Control is not
solely common stock of the successor company or its parent or subsidiary, the Committee may with
the consent of the successor company or its parent or subsidiary, provide that the consideration to
be received upon the exercise or vesting of the Option will be solely common stock of the successor
company or its parent or subsidiary substantially equal in fair market value to the per share
consideration received by holders of Shares in the transaction constituting a Change in Control.
The determination of such substantial equality of value of consideration shall be made by the
Committee in its sole discretion and its determination shall be conclusive and binding.
10. No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the Option nor this Agreement shall
confer upon the Optionee any right to continued employment or service with the Company.
11. Law Governing. This Agreement shall be governed in accordance with and governed
by the internal laws of the State of New York.
12. Interpretation; Provisions of Plan. This Agreement is subject to all the terms,
conditions and provisions of the Plan, including, without limitation, the amendment provisions
thereof, and to such rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan adopted by the
Committee as may be in effect from time to time. If and to the extent that this Agreement conflicts
or is inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan, the Plan shall control,
and this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly. The Optionee accepts the Option
subject to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement. The
undersigned Optionee hereby accepts as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or
interpretations of the Committee upon any questions arising under the Plan and this Agreement,
unless shown to have been made in an arbitrary and capricious manner.
13. Notices. Any notice under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed
to have been duly given when delivered personally or when deposited in the United States mail,
registered, postage prepaid, and addressed, in the case of the Company, to the Company’s Secretary
at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, or if the Company
4
should move its principal
office, to such principal office, and, in the case of the Optionee, to the Optionee’s last
permanent address as shown on the Company’s records, subject to the right of either party to
designate some other address at any time hereafter in a notice satisfying the requirements of this
Section.
14. Tax Consequences. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date of this
Option Agreement of some of the federal tax consequences of exercise of this Option and disposition
of the Shares. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE
SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR
DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.
(a) The Optionee will not recognize any income on receipt of the Option.
(b) The Optionee will recognize ordinary income at the time he or she exercises the Option
equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise exceeds
the Exercise Price paid for the Shares. The amount so recognized is subject to income tax
withholding and employment taxes if the Optionee is an employee of the Company or a Related Entity.
(c) The Optionee’s tax basis for the Shares received as a result of the exercise of the Option
will be equal to the Fair Market Value of those Shares on the date the Option is exercised.
(d) Upon the sale of the Shares, the Optionee will recognize a capital gain or loss on the
difference between the amount realized from the sale of the Shares and the Fair Market Value on the
date the Option is exercised. The gain or loss would be short- or long-term depending upon whether
the Shares were held for at least one year after the date of exercise of the Option.
