For an American option (UAmericanOpt = 1):

1-by-2 vector of exercise date boundaries. The option can be exercised on any tree date. If only one non-NaN date is listed, or if ExerciseDates is 1-by-1, the option can be exercised between the valuation date of the stock tree and the single listed exercise date.

UAmericanOpt

If UAmericanOpt = 0, NaN, or is unspecified, the option is a European option. If UAmericanOpt = 1, the option is an American option.

For an American option (CAmericanOpt = 1):

NINST-by-2 vector of exercise date boundaries. For each instrument, the option can be exercised on any tree date between or including the pair of dates on that row. If only one non-NaN date is listed, or if ExerciseDates is NINST-by-1, the option can be exercised between the valuation date of the stock tree and the single listed exercise date.
