Company Options As of the Transaction Effective Time, by virtue of the Transaction Merger, each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Transaction Effective Time, shall be assumed by the Purchaser and shall be converted into a right (an “Adjusted Option”) to acquire Purchaser Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.8(d). Each such Adjusted Option as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company Option immediately prior to the Transaction Effective Time, including the same vesting schedule as the applicable Company Option (and no Company Option shall have its vesting accelerated in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (provided, that no Adjusted Options shall be exercisable prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) sixty (60) days after the Company Option holder’s termination of employment or termination of service with the Purchaser and its “affiliates” (within the meaning of the Company Stock Plan)), except that as of the Transaction Effective Time, the Adjusted Option as so assumed and converted shall be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Purchaser Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of Purchaser Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient of (a) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Company Option, divided by (b) the Exchange Ratio; provided that the exercise price and/or the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock that may be purchased under the Adjusted Option shall be further adjusted to the extent required to remain compliant with, or exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; and provided further, that in the case of Company Options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, the exercise price and the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock subject to the Adjusted Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424 of the Code and the Department of Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. Further, with respect to three percent (3%) of the shares which can be acquired under each Adjusted Option (such 3%, the “Reserved Portion”), in addition to the above-described exercisability restrictions applicable to the Adjusted Option, the Reserved Portion shall (A) in no event be exercisable until after the Expiration Date, (B) immediately after 11:59 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date, the Reserved Portion shall be forfeited in the same proportion that the number of Escrow Shares that are not released from the Escrow Account to the Exchange Agent for distribution to Company Holders, net of the number of Escrow Shares retained for Pending Claims, bears to the aggregate number of Escrow Shares deposited in the Escrow Account at the Closing (subject to equitable adjustment for stock dividends, recapitalizations, stock exchanges and other similar transactions) and (C) with respect to the portion of the Reserved Portion equal to the number of Escrow Shares retained after the Expiration Date for Pending Claims divided by the aggregate number of Escrow Shares deposited in the Escrow Account at the Closing (subject to equitable adjustment for stock dividends, recapitalizations, stock exchanges and other similar transactions) (the “Pending Reserved Portion”), (I) such Pending Reserved Portion shall continue to not be exercisable until after the final resolution of all Pending Claims, and (II) upon the final resolution of all Pending Claims, the Pending Reserved Portion shall be forfeited in the same proportion that the number of Escrow Shares that were retained for Pending Claims that are not released from the Escrow Account to the Exchange Agent for distribution to Company Holders (or, to the extent required by Section 2.9(h), to the Purchaser for distribution to such Company Holders) bears to the aggregate number of Escrow Shares that were retained for Pending Claims. For the avoidance of doubt, the period of exercisability of an Adjusted Option, including the Reserved Portion, shall not be extended. For purposes of this Agreement, “Exchange Ratio” means the ratio at which a share of Company Common Stock is exchanged for shares of Purchaser Common Stock at the Transaction Effective Time, as calculated pursuant to Section 2.7. From and after the Transaction Effective Time, (i) all references to the Company (including any references relating to a “Sale Event” involving the Company) in the Company Stock Plan and in each agreement evidencing any outstanding award of Company Options shall be deemed to refer to the Purchaser and (ii) the aggregate number of awards permitted to be issued or granted under the Company Stock Plan shall be adjusted to an amount equal to (A) the aggregate number of shares subject to awards permitted to be issued or granted under the Company Stock Plan immediately prior to the Transaction Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio. Prior to the Transaction Effective Time, the Company Stock Plan shall be amended, to the extent necessary, to reflect the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.8(d), including the conversion of the Company Options and the substitution of the Purchaser for the Company thereunder to the extent appropriate to effectuate the assumption of such Company Stock Plan by the Purchaser. Promptly after the Closing, the Purchaser shall take all action necessary or appropriate in accordance with applicable securities Laws to have available for issuance under an effective registration statement filed with the SEC a sufficient number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock for delivery upon exercise or vesting of the Adjusted Options. As of the Transaction Effective Time, except as provided in this Section 2.8(d), all rights under any Company Option and any provision of the Company Stock Plan providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the capital stock of the Company shall be cancelled. The Company shall ensure that, as of and after the Transaction Effective Time, except as provided in this Section 2.8(d), no Person shall have any rights under the Company Stock Plan.
Company RSUs “Company RSUs” shall mean restricted stock units with respect to Shares, other than restricted stock units subject to performance-based vesting.
Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock Any shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock, and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Merger Sub, shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
Excluded Shares Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Exercise Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 9.2 by virtue of the issuance and/or sale of Excluded Shares, which shall mean the following: (a) Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants; (b) Shares, Options or Convertible Securities to be issued and/or sold to employees, advisors (including, without limitation, financial, technical and legal advisers), directors, or officers of, or consultants to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to a share grant, share option plan, share purchase plan, pension or profit sharing plan or other share agreement or arrangement existing as of the date hereof or approved by the Company's Board of Directors (if any, otherwise by the Managers); (c) the issuance of Shares, Options and/or Convertible Securities pursuant to Options and Convertible Securities outstanding as of the date of this Warrant; (d) the issuance of Shares, Options or Convertible Securities as a share dividend or upon any subdivision or combination of Shares or Convertible Securities; (e) the issuance of Shares, Options or Convertible Securities in connection with strategic partnerships or other business and/or product consolidations or joint ventures and (f) the issuance of Shares, Options or Convertible Securities by the Company in connection with a contemplated equity financing currently in progress as of the date hereof. For all purposes of this Section 9.2, all Shares of Excluded Shares shall be deemed to have been issued for an amount of consideration per Share equal to the initial Exercise Price (subject to adjustment in the manner set forth in Section 9.1). In addition, if the amount of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 shall be less than two cents (24) per Warrant Share no adjustment to the Exercise Price or to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be made; provided,
Company Option The Company shall have an option to purchase all or any portion of the Vested Shares which are the subject of a Sale Notice at the lesser of the price specified in the Offer or Fair Market Value, as determined under Section 3.5, and on the terms specified in Sections 3.6 and 3.7. The Company shall have thirty (30) days after delivery of the Sale Notice to exercise its option (the “Company Option Period”). This option may be exercised by giving written notice of exercise (the “Exercise Notice”) to the Participant during the Company Option Period. Delivery of the Exercise Notice shall obligate the Company to purchase and the Participant to sell the Shares of the Participant identified in the Exercise Notice on the terms provided in this Article III.
Company Warrants Each warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company Warrant”) granted under a warrant agreement of the Company that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, cease to represent a right to purchase shares of Company Common Stock and shall at the election of Parent and at the Effective Time, either represent a right to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock or be converted into a warrant to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock (a “Parent Warrant”), in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Warrant. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all action necessary to enable Parent to make either of such elections. All Company Warrants issued to Parent and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, be cancelled and shall cease to exist. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such Company Warrant or Parent Warrant, as the case may be, shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to each such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock, and such Company Warrant or Parent Warrant, as the case may be shall have an exercise price per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the per share exercise price specified in such Company Warrant divided by the Exchange Ratio. Parent shall reserve for issuance a number of shares of Parent Common Stock at least equal to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that will be subject to Parent Warrants as a result of the assumption by Parent of Company Warrants as contemplated by this Section 2.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustment to the number of shares receivable upon exercise of a Parent Warrant or a Company Warrant or to the exercise price pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall not be duplicative of any such adjustments that occur pursuant to the terms of the underlying Company Warrant.
Parent Stock As of December 15, 2013, the entire authorized capital stock of the Parent consists of (a) 200,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock of which 103,963,318 shares of Parent Common Stock are duly and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable as of the Closing Date, and (b) 40,000,000 preferred shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, of which, 9,498,888 shares in the aggregate of Series G, Series H and Series I of such preferred shares of beneficial interest are duly and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable as of the Closing Date and such preferred shares of beneficial interest provide no rights to any holder thereof that may cause a violation of Section 6.04(f). The issuance and sale of such Parent Common Stock and such preferred shares of beneficial interest of the Parent either (i) has been registered under applicable federal and state securities laws or (ii) was issued pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The Parent meets the requirements for taxation as a REIT under the Code.
Cancellation of Parent-Owned Stock Each share of Company Common Stock held by Company or owned by Merger Sub, Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Company or of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.
ISSUED STOCK All the outstanding shares of its Common Stock are duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Dissenting Shares Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 2.01, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Cancelled Shares) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand and has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with the KBCA (such shares of Company Common Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws, or loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the KBCA with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by the KBCA; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, waives, withdraws, or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to the KBCA or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by the KBCA, such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.01(b), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share or transfer of such Book-Entry Share, as the case may be. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, any waiver or withdrawal of any such demand, and any other demand, notice, or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time that relates to such demand, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer to settle, any such demands.
