RESTRICTIONS UPON FUNDING The Bank shall have no obligation to set aside, earmark or entrust any fund or money with which to pay its obligations under this Executive Plan. The Executive, their beneficiary(ies), or any successor in interest shall be and remain simply a general creditor of the Bank in the same manner as any other creditor having a general claim for matured and unpaid compensation. The Bank reserves the absolute right, at its sole discretion, to either fund the obligations undertaken by this Executive Plan or to refrain from funding the same and to determine the extent, nature and method of such funding. Should the Bank elect to fund this Executive Plan, in whole or in part, through the purchase of life insurance, mutual funds, disability policies or annuities, the Bank reserves the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to terminate such funding at any time, in whole or in part. At no time shall any Executive be deemed to have any lien nor right, title or interest in or to any specific funding investment or to any assets of the Bank. If the Bank elects to invest in a life insurance, disability or annuity policy upon the life of the Executive, then the Executive shall assist the Bank by freely submitting to a physical exam and supplying such additional information necessary to obtain such insurance or annuities.
Restrictions on Transfer of Shares (a) There can be no valid transfer (as hereinafter defined) of any shares of stock purchased on exercise of the Option, or any interest in such shares, by any holder of such shares or interests unless such transfer is solely for cash consideration and is made in compliance with the following provisions:
(1) Before there can be a valid transfer of any shares or any interest therein, the record holder of the shares to be transferred (the "Offered Shares") shall give written notice (by registered or certified mail) to the Company. Such notice shall specify the identity of the proposed transferee, the cash price offered for the Offered Shares by the proposed transferee and the other terms and conditions of the proposed transfer. The date such notice is mailed shall be hereinafter referred to as the "notice date" and the record holder of the Offered Shares shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Offeror."
(2) For a period of thirty (30) calendar days after the notice date, the Company shall have the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares at the purchase price and on the terms set forth in subsection (a)(3) of this Section 5.8. This option shall be exercisable by the Company by mailing (by registered or certified mail) written notice of exercise to the Offeror prior to the end of said thirty (30) days.
(3) The price at which the Company may purchase the Offered Shares pursuant to the exercise of such option shall be the cash price offered for the Offered Shares by the proposed transferee (as set forth in the notice required under subsection (a)(1) of this Section 5.8). The Company's notice of exercise of such option shall be accompanied by full payment for the Offered Shares and, upon such payment by the Company, the Company shall acquire full right, title and interest to all of the Offered Shares.
(4) If, and only if, the option given pursuant to subsection (a)(2) of this Section 5.8 is not exercised, the transfer proposed in the notice given pursuant to subsection (a)(1) of this Section 5.8 may take place; provided, however, that such transfer must, in all respects, be exactly as proposed in said notice except that such transfer may not take place either before the tenth (10th) calendar day after the expiration of said thirty-day option exercise period or after the ninetieth (90th) calendar day after the expiration of said thirty-day option exercise period, and if such transfer has not taken place prior to said ninetieth (90th) day, such transfer may not take place without once again complying with subsection (a) of this Section 5.8.
(b) As used in this Section 5.8, the term "transfer" means any sale, encumbrance, pledge, gift or other form of disposition or transfer of shares of the Company's stock or any legal or equitable interest therein; provided, however, that the term "transfer" does not include a transfer of such shares or interests by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution or a gift of such shares if the donee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5.8.
(c) None of the shares of the Company's stock purchased on exercise of the Option shall be transferred on the Company's books nor shall the Company recognize any such transfer of any such shares or any interest therein unless and until all applicable provisions of this Section 5.8 have been complied with in all respects. The certificates of stock evidencing shares of stock purchased on exercise of the Option shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the transfer restrictions imposed by this Section 5.8 and to the repurchase option provided for in Section 5.8.
Non-transferability of Interest None of the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be assignable or transferable except through a testamentary disposition or by the laws of descent and distribution upon the death of Executive. Any attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance, or other disposition (other than as aforesaid) of any interest in the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation to be made by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be void.
Restriction on Transferability Prior to vesting and delivery of the Shares, neither the mPRSUs, nor the Shares or any beneficial interest therein, may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated at any time. Any attempt to do so contrary to the provisions hereof shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the above, distribution can be made pursuant to will, the laws of descent and distribution, and if provided by the Administrator, intra-family transfer instruments, or to an inter vivos trust, or as otherwise provided by the Administrator. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Participant.
Additional Restrictions on Transfer (a) The certificates representing shares of Executive Stock will bear the following legend: "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER, CERTAIN REPURCHASE OPTIONS AND CERTAIN OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN AN EXECUTIVE STOCK AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER (THE "COMPANY") AND AN EMPLOYEE OF THE COMPANY DATED AS OF MAY 16, 1997, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED BY THE HOLDER HEREOF AT THE COMPANY'S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS WITHOUT CHARGE."
(b) No holder of Executive Stock may Transfer any Executive Stock (except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act) without first delivering to the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Company (which counsel will be reasonably acceptable to the Company) that registration under the 1933 Act is not required in connection with such Transfer.
Restrictions on Grant of the Option and Issuance of Shares The grant of the Option and the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities. The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, the Option may not be exercised unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of exercise of the Option be in effect with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. THE PARTICIPANT IS CAUTIONED THAT THE OPTION MAY NOT BE EXERCISED UNLESS THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED. ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTICIPANT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXERCISE THE OPTION WHEN DESIRED EVEN THOUGH THE OPTION IS VESTED. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares subject to the Option shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.
Restrictions on Transfer; Restrictive Legends Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 2, each Warrant shall (and each Warrant issued upon direct or indirect transfer or in substitution for any Warrant pursuant to Section 1.6 or Section 4 herein shall) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form: THIS WARRANT AND ANY SECURITIES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS. Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 2, each stock certificate for Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of any Warrant and each stock certificate issued upon the direct or indirect transfer of any such Warrant Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form: THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE "SHARES") HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") OR THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION AND ARE "RESTRICTED SECURITIES" AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OTHER THAN (I) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, AND (II) UPON RECEIPT BY THE CORPORATION OF EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO IT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrantholder may require the Company to issue a Warrant or a stock certificate for Warrant Shares, in each case without a legend, if either (i) such Warrant or such Warrant Shares, as the case may be, have been registered for resale under the Securities Act, or (ii) the Warrantholder has delivered to the Company an opinion of legal counsel, which opinion shall be addressed to the Company and be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company's counsel, to the effect that such registration is not required with respect to such Warrant or such Warrant Shares, as the case may be.
Restrictions on Transferability The Warrants and the Warrant Stock shall not be transferred, hypothecated or assigned before satisfaction of the conditions specified in this Section 9, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the Transfer of any Warrant or any Warrant Stock. Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.
Restriction on Transfer of Warrants The Holder of a Warrant Certificate, by the Holder's acceptance thereof, covenants and agrees that the Warrants are being acquired as an investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and that the Warrants may not be sold, transferred, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, in whole or in part, for a period of one (1) year from the date hereof [the Effective Date], except to the Underwriter or to the Designees.
Restrictions on Transfer of Award This Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee, and any shares of Stock issuable with respect to the Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until (i) the Restricted Stock Units have vested as provided in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement and (ii) shares of Stock have been issued to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.
