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.

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.
Notice of Exercise of Option This Option may be exercised by the ---------------------------- Optionee, or by the Optionee's administrators, executors or personal representatives, by a written notice (in substantially the form of the Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Schedule B) signed by the Optionee, or by such administrators, executors or personal representatives, and delivered or mailed to the Company as specified in Section 14 hereof to the attention of the President or such other officer as the Company may designate. Any such notice shall (a) specify the number of shares of Stock which the Optionee or the Optionee's administrators, executors or personal representatives, as the case may be, then elects to purchase hereunder, (b) contain such information as may be reasonably required pursuant to Section 12 hereof, and (c) be accompanied by (i) a certified or cashier's check payable to the Company in payment of the total Exercise Price applicable to such shares as provided herein, (ii) shares of Stock owned by the Optionee and duly endorsed or accompanied by stock transfer powers having a Fair Market Value equal to the total Exercise Price applicable to such shares purchased hereunder, or (iii) a certified or cashier's check accompanied by the number of shares of Stock whose Fair Market Value when added to the amount of the check equals the total Exercise Price applicable to such shares purchased hereunder. Upon receipt of any such notice and accompanying payment, and subject to the terms hereof, the Company agrees to issue to the Optionee or the Optionee's administrators, executors or personal representatives, as the case may be, stock certificates for the number of shares specified in such notice registered in the name of the person exercising this Option.
Authorized Capital; Options The Company had at the date or dates indicated in each of the Registration Statement, the Sale Preliminary Prospectus, and the Prospectus, as the case may be, duly authorized, issued and outstanding capitalization as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Sale Preliminary Prospectus, and the Prospectus. Based on the assumptions stated in the Registration Statement, the Sale Preliminary Prospectus, and the Prospectus, the Company will have on the Closing Date or on the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, the adjusted share capitalization set forth therein. Except as set forth in, or contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Sale Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, on the Effective Date and on the Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be, there will be no options, warrants, or other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire any authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into shares of Common Stock, or any contracts or commitments to issue or sell Common Stock or any such options, warrants, rights or convertible securities.
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.
The Optional Shares; Option Closing Date In addition, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and upon the terms but subject to the conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants an option to the several Underwriters to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to an aggregate of [•] Optional Shares from the Company at the purchase price per share to be paid by the Underwriters for the Firm Shares. The option granted hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time in whole or in part upon notice by the Representatives to the Company, which notice may be given at any time within 30 days from the date of this Agreement. Such notice shall set forth (i) the aggregate number of Optional Shares as to which the Underwriters are exercising the option and (ii) the time, date and place at which the Optional Shares will be delivered (which time and date may be simultaneous with, but not earlier than, the First Closing Date; and in the event that such time and date are simultaneous with the First Closing Date, the term “First Closing Date” shall refer to the time and date of delivery of the Firm Shares and such Optional Shares). Any such time and date of delivery, if subsequent to the First Closing Date, is called an “Option Closing Date,” and shall be determined by the Representatives and shall not be earlier than two or later than five full business days after delivery of such notice of exercise. If any Optional Shares are to be purchased, each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Optional Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Representatives may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Optional Shares to be purchased as the number of Firm Shares set forth on Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Shares. The Representatives may cancel the option at any time prior to its expiration by giving written notice of such cancellation to the Company.
Time of Exercise of Option The Optionee may exercise the option granted herein at any time after the effective date of this Agreement until the date of termination of the option as provided herein.
Manner of Exercising Option (a) In order to exercise this option with respect to all or any part of the Option Shares for which this option is at the time exercisable, Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) must take the following actions: (i) To the extent the option is exercised for vested Option Shares, execute and deliver to the Corporation a Notice of Exercise for the Option Shares for which the option is exercised. To the extent this option is exercised for unvested Option Shares, execute and deliver to the Corporation a Purchase Agreement for those unvested Option Shares. (ii) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased shares in one or more of the following forms: (A) cash or check made payable to the Corporation, (B) shares of Common Stock held by Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, or (C) to the extent the option is exercised for vested Option Shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (I) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (II) to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale. (iii) Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation that the person or persons exercising the option (if other than Optionee) have the right to exercise this option. (b) Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure is utilized in connection with the option exercise, payment of the Exercise Price must accompany the Notice of Exercise (or the Purchase Agreement) delivered to the Corporation in connection with the option exercise. (c) As soon after the Exercise Date as practical, the Corporation shall issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising this option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares, with the appropriate legends affixed thereto. To the extent any such Option Shares are unvested, the certificates for those Option Shares shall be endorsed with an appropriate legend evidencing the Corporation's repurchase rights and may be held in escrow with the Corporation until such shares vest. (d) In no event may this option be exercised for any fractional shares.
