Negotiated Option If the Developer elects not to exercise its option under Article 5.1.3, Option to Build, Developer shall so notify Connecting Transmission Owner and NYISO within thirty (30) Calendar Days, and the Developer and Connecting Transmission Owner shall in good faith attempt to negotiate terms and conditions (including revision of the specified dates and liquidated damages, the provision of incentives or the procurement and construction of a portion of the Connecting Transmission Owner’s Attachment Facilities and Stand Alone System Upgrade Facilities by Developer) pursuant to which Connecting Transmission Owner is responsible for the design, procurement and construction of the Connecting Transmission Owner’s Attachment Facilities and System Upgrade Facilities and System Deliverability Upgrades. If the two Parties are unable to reach agreement on such terms and conditions, Connecting Transmission Owner shall assume responsibility for the design, procurement and construction of the Connecting Transmission Owner’s Attachment Facilities and System Upgrades Facilities and System Deliverability Upgrades pursuant to 5.1.1, Standard Option.
Vested Options Each vested outstanding Company Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Cashed-Out Options”) shall be cancelled at the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Option Consideration after which it shall be cancelled and extinguished. If the Per Share Conversion Common Amount does not exceed the per share exercise price of each such outstanding Company Option, then such Company Option shall be cancelled and extinguished, with no consideration payable in connection with such cancellation and no further rights to the holder thereof (the “Cancelled Options”) and such Company Option shall not be deemed a Cashed-Out Option. Company shall take any and all necessary action to provide for the cancellation of each Company Option in accordance with this Section 1.6(b)(i). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, through its payroll system on a special payroll run on the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall or shall direct its payroll agent to, in accordance with its customary payroll practices, pay to each holder of a Cashed-Out Option that was granted to the holder in the holder’s capacity as an employee of Company or any of its Subsidiaries for applicable employment Tax purposes (“Employee Cashed-Out Option Holder”) the applicable portion of the Option Consideration (subject to applicable withholding Taxes) payable in respect of each such Cashed-Out Option (“Employee Option Consideration”); provided, that, if any such Employee Cashed-Out Holder has not executed and delivered to Parent a Cashed-Out Option Agreement (a “Cashed-Out Option Agreement”) in substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT I, as of such date, the payment to such Employee Cashed-Out Option Holder shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable following the execution and delivery to Parent of a Cashed-Out Option Agreement. Each holder of a Cashed-Out Option that was granted to the holder in the holder’s capacity as a non-employee service provider to Company or any of its Subsidiaries for applicable employment Tax purposes (“Non-Employee Cashed-Out Option Holder”) shall be paid the applicable portion of the Option Consideration by the Exchange Agent in the manner provided in Section 1.11. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Option Consideration payable with respect to any Cashed-Out Options. In no event shall any Cashed-Out Option or Cancelled Option be assumed by Parent.
Unvested Options Each unvested outstanding Company Option held by a Continuing Employee (each an “Unvested Company Option”) shall be assumed by Parent (the “Assumed Options”) and will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Unvested Company Option documents (including any applicable Company Option Plan and stock option agreement or other document evidencing such Unvested Company Option, including but not limited to any employment or other agreement providing for accelerated vesting or other terms governing such Assumed Options) immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any repurchase rights or vesting provisions), except that (i) each such Unvested Company Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Conversion Rate (rounded down to the next whole number of shares of Parent Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding), and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Unvested Company Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Unvested Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Conversion Rate, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. The assumption and conversion of Unvested Company Options by Parent are intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.424-1 (to the extent such options were incentive stock options) and of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D). Following the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of Parent or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Board of Directors of Company or any committee thereof with respect to each Assumed Option and references to Company shall become references to Parent under the applicable Company Option Plan and stock option agreement or other document evidencing such Assumed Option. Each unvested outstanding Company Option that is not an Unvested Company Option shall be treated as a Cancelled Option and shall be cancelled and extinguished, with no consideration payable in connection with such cancellation and no further rights to the holder thereof, at the Effective Time.
Our Option If we give you written notice within 30 days after we receive your signed, sworn proof of loss, we may repair or replace any part of the damaged property with material or property of like kind and quality.
Standard Option The Connecting Transmission Owner shall design, procure, and construct the Connecting Transmission Owner’s Attachment Facilities and System Upgrade Facilities and System Deliverability Upgrades, using Reasonable Efforts to complete the Connecting Transmission Owner’s Attachment Facilities and System Upgrade Facilities and System Deliverability Upgrades by the dates set forth in Appendix B hereto. The Connecting Transmission Owner shall not be required to undertake any action which is inconsistent with its standard safety practices, its material and equipment specifications, its design criteria and construction procedures, its labor agreements, and Applicable Laws and Regulations. In the event the Connecting Transmission Owner reasonably expects that it will not be able to complete the Connecting Transmission Owner’s Attachment Facilities and System Upgrade Facilities and System Deliverability Upgrades by the specified dates, the Connecting Transmission Owner shall promptly provide written notice to the Developer and NYISO, and shall undertake Reasonable Efforts to meet the earliest dates thereafter.
Stock Option Subject to approval by the Board, the Company will grant Executive, during the fourth calendar quarter of 2015 (and subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company through the grant date), under the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), an incentive stock option to purchase 130,444 shares of Company common stock (an “Option”), with an exercise price equal to $1.12 per share, which is equal to the fair market value of the shares of Company common stock underlying the Option on the grant date. Subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date, the Option will vest and become exercisable with respect to one-forty-eighth (1/48th) of the shares subject thereto on each monthly anniversary of January 1, 2016. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company experiences a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) prior to the full vesting (or forfeiture) of the Option and Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined below) within three (3) months prior to the consummation of such Change in Control, then, subject to Section 6(b) below, one hundred percent (100%) of any then-unvested portion of the Option will vest and become exercisable immediately prior to such Change in Control. In addition, (i) if the Company experiences a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) prior to the full vesting (or forfeiture) of the Option and Executive remains employed by the Company through at least immediately prior to such Change in Control, fifty percent (50%) of any then-unvested portion of the Option shall vest immediately prior to such Change in Control, and (ii) if the Company experiences a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) prior to the full vesting (or forfeiture) of the Option and Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause within two (2) years following the consummation of such Change in Control, subject to and conditioned upon Executive’s timely execution and non-revocation of a Release (as defined below), one hundred percent (100%) of any then-unvested portion of the Option will vest in full and become exercisable upon the effectiveness of the Release. Each Option will be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and in an award agreement to be entered into between the Company and Executive, which will evidence the grant of the Option (each, an “Option Agreement”).
Top-Up Option (a) Subject to Sections 1.04(b) and 1.04(c), the Company grants to Merger Subsidiary an option, for so long as this Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to the provisions hereof (the “Top-Up Option”), to purchase from the Company, up to the number of authorized and unissued Shares, the number of Shares that, when added to the number of Shares owned by Merger Subsidiary at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitutes one Share more than 90% of the Shares that would be outstanding immediately after the issuance of all Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, calculated on a fully-diluted basis (the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, the “Top-Up Shares”).
(b) The Top-Up Option may be exercised by Merger Subsidiary in accordance with Section 1.04(c), in whole or in part, only once, at any time during the 10 Business Day period following the Acceptance Date, or if any Subsequent Offering Period is provided, during the 10 Business Day period following the expiration date of such Subsequent Offering Period, and only if Merger Subsidiary shall own as of such time less than 90% of the outstanding Shares; provided that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable (i) to the extent the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Top-Up Option would exceed the number of authorized but unissued and unreserved Shares, (ii) unless immediately following the exercise of the Top-Up Option, the number of shares of the Company Common Stock owned in the aggregate by Parent and Merger Subsidiary constitutes at least one share more than 90% of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after the issuance of all shares of Company Common Stock subject to such exercise of the Top-Up Option, or (iii) unless the Minimum Condition shall have been satisfied. The aggregate purchase price payable for the Top-Up Shares being purchased by Merger Subsidiary pursuant to the Top-Up Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of such Shares by an amount equal to the price paid for each Share in the Offer, without interest. Such purchase price shall be payable by Merger Subsidiary (A) in cash, (B) by executing and delivering to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the purchase price, or (C) any combination of the foregoing. Any such promissory note shall bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum, shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution and delivery of such promissory note and may be prepaid without premium or penalty; provided, however, that upon any Event of Default, all principal and accrued interest thereunder shall immediately become due and payable.
(c) In the event Merger Subsidiary wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Merger Subsidiary shall deliver to the Company a notice (the “Top-Up Notice”) setting forth (i) the number of Top-Up Shares that Merger Subsidiary intends to purchase pursuant to the Top-Up Option and (ii) the place and time at which the closing of the purchase of such Top-Up Shares by Merger Subsidiary is to take place. The Top-Up Notice shall also include an undertaking signed by Parent and Merger Subsidiary that, as promptly as practicable following such exercise of the Top-Up Option, Merger Subsidiary intends to (and Merger Subsidiary shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Subsidiary to, as promptly as practicable after such exercise) consummate the Merger in accordance with Section 253 of Delaware Law as contemplated by Section 9.05. At the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall cause to be delivered to the Company the consideration required to be delivered in exchange for the Top-Up Shares, and the Company shall cause to be issued to Merger Subsidiary a certificate representing the Top-Up Shares or, at Parent’s or Merger Subsidiary’s request or otherwise if the Company does not then have certificated shares of Company Common Stock, the applicable number of non-certificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry. The parties hereto agree to use their reasonable best efforts to cause the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares to occur on the same day that the Top-Up Notice is deemed received by the Company pursuant to Section 12.01, and if not so consummated on such day, as promptly thereafter as possible. The parties further agree to use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to be consummated in accordance with Section 253 of Delaware Law as contemplated by Section 9.05 as close in time as possible to (including, to the extent possible, on the same day as) the issuance of the Top-Up Shares.
(d) Parent and Merger Subsidiary understand that the Top-Up Shares will not be registered under the 1933 Act and will be issued in reliance upon an exemption thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering. Each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary represents, warrants and agrees that the Top-Up Option is being, and the Top-Up Shares will be, acquired by Merger Subsidiary for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution thereof within the meaning of the 1933 Act. Any certificates evidencing Top-Up Shares may include any legends required by applicable securities laws.
Company Option “Company Option” shall mean an option to acquire shares of Company Common Stock from the Company, whether vested or unvested.
Nonstatutory Stock Option If the Grant Notice so designates, this Option is intended to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option and shall not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code.
Option Right Landlord hereby grants to the originally named Tenant herein (“Original Tenant”), and its “Permitted Assignees”, as that term is defined in Section 14.8, below, one (1) option to extend the Lease Term for a period of five (5) years (the “Option Term”), which option shall be irrevocably exercised only by written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord not more than twelve (12) months nor less than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term, provided that the following conditions (the “Option Conditions”) are satisfied: (i) as of the date of delivery of such notice, Tenant is not in default under this Lease, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period; (ii) Tenant has not previously been in default under this Lease, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, more than twice in the twelve (12) month period prior to the date of Tenant’s attempted exercise; and (iii) the Lease then remains in full force and effect. Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, exercised in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, waive any of the Option Conditions in which case the option, if otherwise properly exercised by Tenant, shall remain in full force and effect. Upon the proper exercise of such option to extend, and provided that Tenant satisfies all of the Option Conditions (except those, if any, which are waived by Landlord), the Lease Term, as it applies to the Premises, shall be extended for a period of five (5) years. The rights contained in this Section 2.2 shall be personal to Original Tenant and any Permitted Assignees, and may be exercised by Original Tenant or such Permitted Assignees (and not by any other assignee, sublessee or other “Transferee,” as that term is defined in Section 14.1 of this Lease, of Tenant’s interest in this Lease).
