Notices; Method of Exercising Repurchase Right, Etc (a) Unless the Company shall have theretofore called for redemption of all of the Outstanding Securities, on or before the 30th day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company or, at the request and expense of the Company, the Trustee, shall give to all Holders of Securities, in the manner provided in Section 1.6, notice (the "Company Notice") of the occurrence of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right set forth herein arising as a result thereof. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such Company Notice to the Trustee. Each notice of a repurchase right shall state:
(1) the Repurchase Date,
(2) the date by which the repurchase right must be exercised,
(3) the Repurchase Price,
(4) a description of the procedure which a Holder must follow to exercise a repurchase right, and the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Repurchase Price and accrued interest, if any,
(5) that on the Repurchase Date the Repurchase Price, and accrued interest, if any, will become due and payable upon each such Security designated by the Holder to be repurchased, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date, and
(6) the Conversion Price then in effect, the date on which the right to convert the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased will terminate and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion. So long as the Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange shall so require, on or before the 30th day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company or, at the request of the Company, the Paying Agent in Luxembourg, will provide notice of such Fundamental Change by publishing such notice in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg, or, if not practicable in Luxembourg, elsewhere in a Western European city. No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices or defect therein shall limit any Holder's right to exercise a repurchase right or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of Securities. If any of the foregoing provisions or other provisions of this Article are inconsistent with applicable law, such law shall govern.
(b) To exercise a repurchase right, a Holder shall deliver to the Trustee or any Paying Agent on or before the 30th day after the date of the Company Notice (i) written notice of the Holder's exercise of such right, which notice shall set forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased (and, if any Security is to be repurchased in 107 117 part, the serial number thereof, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be repurchased and the name of the Person in which the portion thereof to remain Outstanding after such repurchase is to be registered) and a statement that an election to exercise the repurchase right is being made thereby, and (ii) the Securities with respect to which the repurchase right is being exercised. Such written notice shall be irrevocable, except that the right of the Holder to convert the Securities with respect to which the repurchase right is being exercised shall continue until the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date.
(c) In the event a repurchase right shall be exercised in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee or the Paying Agent the Repurchase Price in cash, as provided above, for payment to the Holder on the Repurchase Date together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date payable with respect to the Securities as to which their purchase right has been exercised; provided, however, that installments of interest that mature on or prior to the Repurchase Date shall be payable in cash, in the case of Securities, to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date.
(d) If any Security (or portion thereof) surrendered for repurchase shall not be so paid on the Repurchase Date, the principal amount of such Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall, until paid, bear interest to the extent permitted by applicable law from the Repurchase Date at the rate of 5% per annum, and each Security shall remain convertible into Common Stock until the principal of such Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall have been paid or duly provided for.
(e) Any Security which is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized denomination in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.
(f) All securities delivered for repurchase shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Paying Agent or any other agents (as shall be set forth in the Company Notice) to be canceled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 3.9.
When Exercise Effective Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day on which this Warrant shall have been duly surrendered to the Company as provided in Sections 3.1 and 12 hereof, and, at such time, the Holder in whose name any certificate or certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon exercise as provided in Section 3.3 hereof shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon exercise of this Warrant.
Cumulative Exercisability To the extent that the Option is vested and exercisable, the Grantee has the right to exercise the Option (to the extent not previously exercised), and such right shall continue, until the expiration or earlier termination of the Option.
Automatic Exercise To the extent this Warrant is not previously exercised, it shall be deemed to have been automatically converted in accordance with Sections 3(b) and 3(c) hereof (even if not surrendered) as of immediately before its expiration, involuntary termination or cancellation if the then-Fair Market Value of a Warrant Share exceeds the then-Warrant Price, unless Holder notifies Company in writing to the contrary prior to such automatic exercise.
Mandatory Exercise (a) If (i) the Price of the Common Stock is greater than 150% of the Exercise Price (as adjusted to reflect any stock split, combination, reclassification, recapitalization, exchange, stock dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock with respect to shares of Common Stock) for sixty (60) consecutive trading days in the principal market in which the Common Stock is traded and (ii) the Company gives written notice (the "Company Notice") to the holder hereof of the satisfaction of the condition in clause (i), then within fifteen (15) days after the effective date of the Company Notice, the holder hereof shall exercise all of the Warrants. If required by this Section 5, the holder hereof agrees to exercise the Warrants, and to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Warrant Certificate. If the holder has not fulfilled its obligations to exercise the Warrants pursuant to this Section 5 within fifteen (15) days after the holder's receipt of the Company Notice, then (without limiting the Company's available remedies) (A) the obligations of holder under this Section 5 shall continue but the purchase rights otherwise represented by this Warrant Certificate shall terminate, (B) the Company may thereafter refuse, in its sole discretion, to allow holder to exercise the Warrants (including pursuant to this Section 5), (C) all obligations of the Company under Sections 0, 0, 0 xxx 0 xxxxx xxxxxxxxx, (X) no further adjustments to the Exercise Price shall be made unless the Company in its sole discretion consents in writing. Each Warrant holder's obligations under this Section 5(a) shall be subject to the expiration or termination of all waiting periods (and any extensions thereof) applicable to exercise of such holder's Warrants under the HSR Act (as defined below); provided that such holder shall have certified in writing to the Company that a filing under the HSR Act is required and provided further that such holder shall use its best efforts to cause the expiration or termination of such waiting period to occur as promptly as practicable.
(b) Holder represents and warrants to the Company that holder has full corporate power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform this Warrant Certificate and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery, and performance by holder of this Warrant Certificate have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of holder. This Warrant Certificate has been duly executed and delivered by holder and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of holder, enforceable against holder in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(c) The right to require exercise of the Warrants is hereby declared by the parties hereto to be a unique right, the loss of which is not readily susceptible to monetary quantification. Consequently, the parties hereto agree that an action for specific performance of the exercise and purchase obligations created by this Section 5 is an available remedy for the breach of the provisions of this Section 5. If the Company is forced to institute legal proceedings to enforce its rights in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5, it shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs incurred in enforcing such rights.
(d) Holder is executing this Warrant Certificate in order to make and agree to the covenants, representations and warranties of holder contained in this Section 5, which shall be binding upon the holder's successors and assigns.
Right to Exercise This Option is exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Grant and the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.
Method of Exercising Option Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Option may be exercised by written notice to the Company or its designee, in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. Such notice shall state the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall be signed by the person exercising the Option. Payment of the purchase price for such Shares shall be made in accordance with Paragraph 9 of the Plan. The Company shall deliver such Shares as soon as practicable after the notice shall be received, provided, however, that the Company may delay issuance of such Shares until completion of any action or obtaining of any consent, which the Company deems necessary under any applicable law (including, without limitation, state securities or “blue sky” laws). The Shares as to which the Option shall have been so exercised shall be registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the person so exercising the Option (or, if the Option shall be exercised by the Participant and if the Participant shall so request in the notice exercising the Option, shall be registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Participant and another person jointly, with right of survivorship) and shall be delivered as provided above to or upon the written order of the person exercising the Option. In the event the Option shall be exercised, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, by any person other than the Participant, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person to exercise the Option. All Shares that shall be purchased upon the exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully paid and nonassessable.
Full Exercise This Warrant may be exercised in full by the Holder hereof by delivery of an original or facsimile copy of the form of subscription attached as Exhibit A hereto (the "Subscription Form") duly executed by such Holder and surrender of the original Warrant within seven (7) days of exercise, to the Company at its principal office or at the office of its Warrant Agent (as provided hereinafter), accompanied by payment, in cash, wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, in the amount obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is then exercisable by the Purchase Price then in effect.
Conditional Exercise Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.
Person Eligible to Exercise During the lifetime of the Optionee, only the Optionee (or his or her duly authorized legal representative) may exercise an Option or any portion thereof. After the death of the Optionee, any exercisable portion of an Option may, prior to the time when an Option becomes unexercisable under Section 3.2, be exercised by his personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the Optionee’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.
