Commissions on the exercise would be about $40-$50. If I exercise now and the stock goes to $150 over the next month, I've generated another $600,000 in margin borrowing power, which I will not have if I don't exercise (option holdings, no matter how deeply in the money, have no margin power). If I sell the options now, I'll have a $1.16 million short term capital gain tax to pay buy July 15. If I exercise and hold the stock, I will have deferred the tax and it will eventually be converted to long term capital gain.
