Conversion of Shares (a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any stockholder of the Company:
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.
Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Debentures), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture and payment of interest hereunder. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public sale in accordance with such Registration Statement.
Registration of Shares of Common Stock The Company agrees that as soon as practicable after the closing of its initial Business Combination, it shall use its best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement for the registration, under the Act, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and it shall use its best efforts to take such action as is necessary to register or qualify for sale, in those states in which the Warrants were initially offered by the Company and in those states where holders of Warrants then reside, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to the extent an exemption is not available. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If any such registration statement has not been declared effective by the 90th day following the closing of the Business Combination, holders of the Warrants shall have the right, during the period beginning on the 91st day after the closing of the Business Combination and ending upon such registration statement being declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and during any other period when the Company shall fail to have maintained an effective registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis” as determined in accordance with Section 3.3.1(c). The Company shall provide the Warrant Agent with an opinion of counsel for the Company (which shall be an outside law firm with securities law experience) stating that (i) the exercise of the Warrants on a cashless basis in accordance with this Section 7.4 is not required to be registered under the Act and (ii) the shares of Common Stock issued upon such exercise will be freely tradable under U.S. federal securities laws by anyone who is not an affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act) of the Company and, accordingly, will not be required to bear a restrictive legend. For the avoidance of any doubt, unless and until all of the Warrants have been exercised on a cashless basis, the Company shall continue to be obligated to comply with its registration obligations under the first three sentences of this Section 7.4. The provisions of this Section 7.4 may not be modified, amended, or deleted without the prior written consent of the Representative.
