Suspension of Exercisability To the extent that the Company determines in good faith that some action will or need be taken pursuant to Section 3.1 or to comply with federal or state securities laws, the Company may suspend the exercisability of the Rights for a reasonable period in order to take such action or comply with such laws. In the event of any such suspension, the Company shall issue as promptly as practicable a public announcement stating that the exercisability or exchangeability of the Rights has been temporarily suspended. Notice thereof pursuant to Section 5.9 shall not be required. Failure to give a notice pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of any action taken hereunder.
Timing of Exercise The Warrants shall be exercisable at any time in whole or in part from time to time commencing as of February 17, 2006 and expiring at 5:00 P.M., New York time, on February 16, 2011 (the “Expiration Date”), subject to earlier termination as provided herein, and may not be exercised thereafter.
Method of Exercise Payment Issuance of New Warrant;
Method of Exercise Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Article 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check, wire transfer (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
Duration of Exercisability The installments provided for in Section 3.1 are cumulative. Each such installment which becomes exercisable pursuant to Section 3.1 shall remain exercisable until it becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3.
Method of Exercise of Option The Option is exercisable by notice and payment to the Company in accordance with the procedure prescribed herein. Each such notice will: (a) State the election to exercise the Option and the number of shares in respect of which it is being exercised; (b) Contain a representation and agreement as to investment intent, if required by counsel to the Company with respect to such Shares, in form satisfactory to counsel for the Company; and (c) Be signed by the person entitled to exercise the Option and, if the option is being exercised by any person other than the Director, be accompanied by proof, satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of the right of that person to exercise the Option. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company will specify, by written notice to the person exercising the option, a date and time (the "Closing Date") and place for payment of the full purchase price of such Shares. The Closing Date will be not more than fifteen days from the date the notice of exercise is received by the Company unless another date is agreed upon by the Company and the person exercising the Option or is required upon advice of counsel for the Company in order to meet the requirements of Section 10 hereof. Payment of the purchase price will be made at the place specified by the Company on or before the Closing Date by delivering to the Company a certified or bank cashier's check payable to the order of the Company. The Option will be deemed to have been exercised with respect to any particular shares of Common Stock if, and only if, the preceding provisions of this Section 9 and the provisions of Section 10 hereof shall have been complied with, in which event the option will be deemed to have been exercised on the Closing Date. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any notice of exercise given pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9 will be void and of no effect if all the preceding provisions of this Section 9 and the provisions of Section 10 have not been complied with. The certificates for shares of Common Stock as to which the option shall be exercised will be registered in the name of the person exercising the option (or, if the option is exercised by the Director and if the Director so requests in the notice exercising the Option, will be registered in the name of the Director and another person jointly, with right of survivorship) and will be delivered on the Closing Date to the person exercising the Option at the place specified for the closing, but only upon compliance with all of the provisions of this Agreement. If the Director fails to accept delivery of and pay for all or any part of the number of shares specified in the notice upon tender or delivery thereof on the Closing Date, his right to exercise the Option with respect to those undelivered shares may be terminated in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Option may be exercised only with respect to full shares.
Acceleration of Exercisability In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for the securities of another corporation, the acquisition by another corporation or person of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or eighty percent (80%) or more of the Company’s then outstanding voting stock, or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Committee may, in its absolute discretion and upon such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, provide by resolution, adopted prior to such event and incorporated in the notice referred to in Section 3(c)(vii), that at some time prior to the effective date of such event this Option shall be exercisable as to all the shares covered hereby, notwithstanding that this Option may not yet have become fully exercisable under Section 3(a)(i); provided, however, that this acceleration of exercisability shall not take place if: (i) This Option becomes unexercisable under Section 3(c) prior to said effective date; or (ii) In connection with such an event, provision is made for an assumption of this Option or a substitution therefor of a new option by an employer corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of such corporation, so that such assumption or substitution complies with the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3(d) shall make this Option exercisable if it is otherwise unexercisable by reason of Section 3(e). The Committee may make such determinations and adopt such rules and conditions as it, in its absolute discretion, deems appropriate in connection with such acceleration of exercisability, including, but not by way of limitation, provisions to ensure that any such acceleration and resulting exercise shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the contemplated corporate transaction, and determinations regarding whether provisions for assumption or substitution have been made as defined in subsection (ii) above.
Nonqualified Stock Option The Option is a nonqualified stock option and is not, and shall not be, an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.
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.
Exercise of Nonqualified Stock Option If the Option does not qualify as an ISO, there may be a regular federal and California income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option. Participant will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. If Participant is a current or former employee of the Company, the Company may be required to withhold from Participant’s compensation or collect from Participant and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise.
