Description

The document outlines the 1997 Incentive Stock Option Plan of The Banker's Note, Inc., designed to benefit key employees by providing them with the opportunity to acquire stock options (ISOs) and stock appreciation rights. The key features include the issuance of shares of Common Stock, a cap of 500,000 shares available for options, and strict qualifications for participants to ensure that only key employees can benefit. Options granted must be at least the fair market value at the time of grant, ensuring employee alignment with the company's financial goals. Employees will have a specified duration, vesting schedules, and rights to exercise these options under defined conditions. Additionally, the document stipulates guidelines for terminations, adjustments during corporate changes, and the potential use of option proceeds. This form is particularly beneficial for attorneys and paralegals, as it ensures compliance with relevant tax regulations and corporate governance requirements. Partners and owners will find it useful for strategic employee retention and motivation, while associates and legal assistants will benefit from being informed about the stipulations in option agreements, enhancing their administrative support role.
