Description

The Option Agreement Form is a legal document outlining the terms under which an employee, referred to as the Optionholder, is granted the right to purchase shares of common stock from their employer, Computer Marketplace, Inc. This agreement specifies that the Optionholder will benefit from these shares as a form of compensation and incentive. Key features include the grant of an option to purchase a specific number of shares at a set exercise price, a vesting period of three years, and a total exercise period of ten years from the agreement date. It also addresses the method of exercising the option, emphasizing a 'cashless exercise' option, which allows the Optionholder to sell shares and use the proceeds to pay the exercise price. The form is designed to be comprehensive and includes sections on stockholder rights, binding effects, notices, severability, and counterparts. It is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, and legal assistants who need to clearly understand stock option mechanics. Legal professionals can provide clarity to clients considering equity compensation, ensuring compliance with relevant laws and facilitating proper execution.
