Another reason to go ahead and exercise non-qualified stock options is this: upon exercise, you take into income the excess of the fair market value over the strike price, but any gain after exercise is taxed as capital gain. So if you thought the stock price was going to run up sharply, you might go ahead and exercise to save a lot of taxes in the future.
