Conversion into Common Stock Shares of Common Stock will be issued or become free of restrictions as soon as practicable following vesting of the RSUs, provided that you have satisfied your tax withholding obligations as specified under Section 10 of this Agreement and you have completed, signed and returned any documents and taken any additional action that the Corporation deems appropriate to enable it to accomplish the delivery of the shares of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock will be issued in your name (or may be issued to your executor or personal representative, in the event of your death or Disablement), and may be effected by recording shares on the stock records of the Corporation or by crediting shares in an account established on your behalf with a brokerage firm or other custodian, in each case as determined by the Corporation. In no event will the Corporation be obligated to issue a fractional share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Corporation shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of the Common Stock during any period when the Corporation determines that the conversion of a RSU or the delivery of shares hereunder would violate any laws of the United States or your country of residence or employment and/or may issue shares subject to any restrictive legends that, as determined by the Corporation's counsel, is necessary to comply with securities or other regulatory requirements, and (ii) the date on which shares are issued may include a delay in order to provide the Corporation such time as it determines appropriate to address tax withholding and other administrative matters.
Conversion into the Borrower's Common Stock (a) The Holder shall have the right from and after the issuance of this Note and then at any time until this Note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of this Note, and/or at the Holder's election with the Company's consent, the interest accrued on the Note, (the date of giving of such notice of conversion being a "Conversion Date") into fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of Borrower as such stock exists on the date of issuance of this Note, or any shares of capital stock of Borrower into which such stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified (the "Common Stock") at the conversion price as defined in Section 2.1(b) hereof (the "Conversion Price"), determined as provided herein. Upon delivery to the Company of a Notice of Conversion as described in Section 9 of the subscription agreement entered into between the Company and Holder relating to this Note (the "Subscription Agreement") of the Holder's written request for conversion, Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Holder within three business days from the Conversion Date that number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted in accordance with the foregoing. At the election of the Holder, the Company will deliver accrued but unpaid interest on the Note through the Conversion Date directly to the Holder on or before the Delivery Date (as defined in the Subscription Agreement). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal of the Note to be converted and interest, if any, by the Conversion Price.

Exchange in Lieu of Conversion (a) When a Holder surrenders its Notes for conversion, the Company may, at its election (an “Exchange Election”), direct the Conversion Agent to deliver, on or prior to the Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Date, such Notes to one or more financial institutions designated by the Company (each, a “Designated Financial Institution”) for exchange in lieu of conversion. In order to accept any Notes surrendered for conversion, the Designated Financial Institution(s) must agree to timely pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, in exchange for such Notes, the cash, shares of Common Stock or combination thereof that would otherwise be due upon conversion pursuant to Section 14.02 or such other amount agreed to by the Holder and the Designated Financial Institution(s) (the “Conversion Consideration”). If the Company makes an Exchange Election, the Company shall, by the close of business on the Trading Day following the relevant Conversion Date, notify in writing the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and the Holder surrendering Notes for conversion that the Company has made the Exchange Election, and the Company shall promptly notify the Designated Financial Institution(s) of the relevant deadline for delivery of the Conversion Consideration and the type of Conversion Consideration to be paid and/or delivered, as the case may be.
Conversion Privilege and Conversion Rate Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Security or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is U.S.$1,000 or an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 may be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common Stock of the Company at the Conversion Rate, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion. Such conversion right shall commence upon the original issuance of the Securities and expire at the close of business on December 1, 2004, subject, in the case of conversion of any Global Security, to any Applicable Procedures. In case a Security or portion thereof is called for redemption at the election of the Company or the Holder thereof exercises his right to require the Company to repurchase the Security, such conversion right in respect of the Security, or portion thereof so called, shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption or repurchase, as the case may be (in each case subject as aforesaid to any Applicable Procedures with respect to any Global Security). The rate at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (herein called the "Conversion Rate") shall be initially 13.5323 shares of Common Stock for each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Securities. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in this ARTICLE ELEVEN.
Conversion of Company Stock At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof:
Conversion of Stock Options (a) At the Effective Time, each option or other Equity Right to purchase shares of JCN Common Stock pursuant to stock options or stock appreciation rights ("JCN Options") granted by JCN under the JCN Stock Plans, which are outstanding at the Effective Time, whether or not exercisable, shall be converted into and become rights with respect to Highwoods Common Stock, and Highwoods shall assume each JCN Option, in accordance with the terms of the JCN Stock Plan and stock option agreement by which it is evidenced, except that from and after the Effective Time, (i) Highwoods and its Compensation Committee shall be substituted for JCN and the committee of JCN's Board of Directors (including, if applicable, the entire Board of Directors of JCN) administering such JCN Stock Plan, (ii) each JCN Option assumed by Highwoods may be exercised solely for shares of Highwoods Common Stock (or cash, if so provided under the terms of such JCN Option), (iii) the number of shares of Highwoods Common Stock subject to such JCN Option shall be equal to the number of shares of JCN Common Stock subject to such JCN Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, (iv) the per share exercise price under each such JCN Option shall be adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price under each such JCN Option by the Exchange Ratio and rounding up to the nearest cent, (v) each JCN Option that would have become fully exercisable under a JCN Stock Plan as a result of a "change in control" will continue to be fully exercisable into shares of Highwoods Common Stock upon consummation of the Merger, and (vi) employment by Highwoods of a JCN employee upon consummation of the Merger will not be deemed a termination of employment by JCN that would limit such employee's rights to exercise any JCN Option under the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, Highwoods shall not be obligated to issue any fraction of a share of Highwoods Common Stock upon exercise of JCN Options and any fraction of a share of Highwoods Common Stock that otherwise would be subject to a converted JCN Option shall represent the right to receive a cash payment upon exercise of such converted JCN Option equal to the product of such fraction and the difference between the market value of one share of Highwoods Common Stock at the time of exercise of such Option and the per share exercise price of such Option. For purposes of this Section 3.7, the market value of one share of Highwoods Common Stock at the time of exercise of a JCN Option shall be the closing price of such common stock on the NYSE-Composite Transactions List (as reported by The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported thereby, any other authoritative source selected by Highwoods) on the last trading day preceding the date of exercise. In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (iii) and (iv) of the first sentence of this Section 3.7, each JCN Option which is an "incentive stock option" shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Internal Revenue Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the option, within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Internal Revenue Code. Each of JCN and Highwoods agrees to take all necessary steps to effectuate the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.7, including using its reasonable efforts to obtain from each holder of a JCN Option any reasonable Consent or Contract that may be deemed reasonably necessary or advisable in order to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 3.7. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Highwoods shall have the right, in its sole discretion, not to deliver the consideration provided in this Section 3.7 to a former holder of a JCN Option who has not delivered such Consent or Contract.
Conversion Privilege and Conversion Price Securities of any series which are convertible shall be convertible in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article Seventeen. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article Seventeen, at any time during the period specified in the Securities, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Security or any portion of the principal amount thereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 may be converted at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion thereof, into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100 of a share) of Common Stock of the Company, at the Conversion Price, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion. In case a Security or portion thereof is called for redemption, such conversion right in respect of the Security or portion so called shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption, in which case such conversion right shall terminate on the date such default is cured. The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (herein called the "Conversion Price") of Securities of any series shall be specified in such Securities. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in Section 1704. In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, declare or make a distribution on its Common Stock referred to in paragraph (4) of Section 1704, the Holder of each Security, upon the conversion thereof pursuant to this Article Seventeen subsequent to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution and prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price adjustment in respect of such distribution pursuant to paragraph (4) of Section 1704, shall be entitled to receive for each share of Common Stock into which such Security is converted, the portion of the evidence of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock or assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, at the election of the Company (whose election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) with respect to all Holders so converting, the Company may, in lieu of distributing to such Holder any portion of such distribution not consisting of cash or securities of the Company, pay such Holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value thereof (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee). If any conversion of a Security entitled to the benefits described in the immediately preceding sentence occurs prior to the payment date for a distribution to holders of Common Stock which the Holder of the Security so converted is entitled to receive in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Company may elect (such election to be evidenced by a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) to distribute to such Holder a due bill xxx the evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock or assets to which such Holder is so entitled, provided that such due bill (x) meets any applicable requirements of the principal national securities exchange or other market on which the Common Stock is then traded, and (ii) requires payment or delivery of such evidences of indebtedness or assets no later than the date of payment or delivery thereof to holders of Common Stock receiving such distribution.
