  • Determination of Amount In lieu of the payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Units for which this Purchase Option is exercisable (and in lieu of being entitled to receive Common Stock and Warrants) in the manner required by Section 2.1, the Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to convert any exercisable but unexercised portion of this Purchase Option into Units ("Conversion Right") as follows: upon exercise of the Conversion Right, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (without payment by the Holder of any of the Exercise Price in cash) that number of shares of Common Stock and Warrants comprising that number of Units equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the "Value" (as defined below) of the portion of the Purchase Option being converted by (y) the Current Market Value (as defined below). The "Value" of the portion of the Purchase Option being converted shall equal the remainder derived from subtracting (a) (i) the Exercise Price multiplied by (ii) the number of Units underlying the portion of this Purchase Option being converted from (b) the Current Market Value of a Unit multiplied by the number of Units underlying the portion of the Purchase Option being converted. As used herein, the term "Current Market Value" per Unit at any date means the remainder derived from subtracting (x) the exercise price of the Warrants multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants underlying one Unit from (y) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of one Unit. The "Current Market Price" of a share of Common Stock shall mean (i) if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq SmallCap Market or NASD OTC Bulletin Board (or successor such as the Bulletin Board Exchange), the last sale price of the Common Stock in the principal trading market for the Common Stock as reported by the exchange, Nasdaq or the NASD, as the case may be; (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the NASD OTC Bulletin Board (or successor such as the Bulletin Board Exchange), but is traded in the residual over-the-counter market, the closing bid price for the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the date in question for which such quotations are reported by the Pink Sheets, LLC or similar publisher of such quotations; and (iii) if the fair market value of the Common Stock cannot be determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, such price as the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine, in good faith.

  • Determination of Fair Market Value For purposes of this Section 10.2, “fair market value” of a Share (or Common Stock if the Shares have been converted into Common Stock) as of a particular date (the “Determination Date”) shall mean: (i) If the Conversion Right is exercised in connection with and contingent upon a Public Offering, and if the Company’s Registration Statement relating to such Public Offering (“Registration Statement”) has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the initial “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus with respect to such offering. (ii) If the Conversion Right is not exercised in connection with and contingent upon a Public Offering, then as follows: (A) If traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock on such exchange over the five trading days immediately prior to the Determination Date, and the fair market value of the Shares shall be deemed to be such fair market value of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series Preferred is then convertible; (B) If traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market or other over-the-counter system, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock over the five trading days immediately prior to the Determination Date, and the fair market value of the Shares shall be deemed to be such fair market value of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each Share is then convertible; and (C) If there is no public market for the Common Stock, then fair market value shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith. In making a determination under clauses (A) or (B) above, if on the Determination Date, five trading days had not passed since the closing of the Company’s initial public offering of its Common Stock (“IPO”), then the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be the average closing prices or closing bid prices, as applicable, for the shorter period beginning on and including the date of the IPO and ending on the trading day prior to the Determination Date (or if such period includes only one trading day, the closing price or closing bid price, as applicable, for such trading day). If closing prices or closing bid prices are no longer reported by a securities exchange or other trading system, the closing price or closing bid price shall be that which is reported by such securities exchange or other trading system at 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the applicable trading day.

  • Determination of Gross-Up Payment Subject to sub-paragraph (c) below, all determinations required to be made under this Section 6, including whether a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, shall be made by the firm of independent public accountants selected by the Company to audit its financial statements for the year immediately preceding the Change in Control (the "Accounting Firm") which shall provide detailed supporting calculations to the Company and the Executive within 30 days after the date of the Executive's termination of employment. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group affecting the Change of Control, the Executive may appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required under this Section 6 (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the "Accounting Firm"). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in connection with the work it performs pursuant to this Section 6 shall be promptly paid by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within 5 days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm's determination. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall furnish the Executive with a written opinion that failure to report the Excise Tax on the Executive's applicable federal income tax return would not result in the imposition of a penalty. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made ("Underpayment"). In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to sub-paragraph (c) below, and the Executive is thereafter required to make a payment of Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall promptly determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within 5 days after such determination.

  • Determination of Entitlement (a) Where there has been a written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 5.01(b), then as soon as is reasonably practicable (but in any event not later than 60 days) after final disposition of the relevant Proceeding, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change of Control shall not have occurred, (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (B) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (C) if there are no such Disinterested Directors or, if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; or (ii) if a Change of Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification). (b) If entitlement to indemnification is to be determined by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(ii), such Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee, and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If entitlement to indemnification is to be determined by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i)(C) (or if Indemnitee requests that such selection be made by the Board), such Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Company in which case the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him or her of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within 10 days after such written notice of selection shall have been received, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 1 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after the later of submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 5.01(b) hereof and the final disposition of the Proceeding, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 5.02(a) hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 6.01(a) of this Agreement, the Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing). (c) The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of any Independent Counsel serving under this Agreement.

  • Determination of Excise Tax Liability Unless the Company and the Executive otherwise agree in writing, the Company will select a professional services firm (the “Firm”) to make all determinations required under this Section 6, which determinations will be conclusive and binding upon the Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 6, the Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Executive will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm reasonably may request in order to make determinations under this Section 6. The Company will bear the costs and make all payments for the Firm’s services in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 6. The Company will have no liability to the Executive for the determinations of the Firm.

  • Determination of Consideration For purposes of this Subsection 4.4, the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

  • Determination of Value (a) Whenever a determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value is required pursuant to any provision of this Lease, such Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined in accordance with the following procedure: (i) Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to agree upon such Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value within thirty (30) days after the date (the “Applicable Initial Date”) on which (A) Tenant provides Landlord with notice of its intention to terminate this Lease and purchase the Affected Premises pursuant to Paragraph 18, (B) Landlord provides Tenant with notice of its intention to redetermine Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value pursuant to Paragraph 20(c) or (C) Landlord provides Tenant with notice of Landlord’s intention to require Tenant to make an offer to purchase the Leased Premises pursuant to Paragraph 23(a)(iii). Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to agree on Fair Market Rental Value during the period following receipt by Landlord of a Notice of Interest to Renew and prior to the latest date for Tenant to deliver a Renewal Notice. Upon reaching such agreement, the parties shall execute an agreement setting forth the amount of such Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value. (ii) If the parties shall not have signed such agreement (A) within thirty (30) days after the Applicable Initial Date or (B) with respect to a renewal option, during the period following Tenant’s delivery of a Notice of Intent to Renew and, with respect to a Renewal Term, Tenant has nonetheless delivered a Renewal Notice, Tenant shall within fifty (50) days after the Applicable Initial Date or the date of the Renewal Notice, as applicable, select an appraiser and notify Landlord in writing of the name, address and qualifications of such appraiser. Within twenty (20) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of the appraiser selected by Tenant, Landlord shall select an appraiser and notify Tenant of the name, address and qualifications of such appraiser. Such two appraisers shall endeavor to agree upon Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value based on a written appraisal made by each of them as of the Relevant Date (and given to Landlord by Tenant). If such two appraisers shall agree upon a Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value, the amount of such Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value as so agreed shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant. (iii) If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon a Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value within twenty (20) days after the selection of an appraiser by Landlord, then such appraisers shall advise Landlord and Tenant of their respective determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value and shall select a third appraiser to make the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value. The selection of the third appraiser shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant. (iv) If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon the designation of a third appraiser within ten (10) days after the expiration of the twenty (20) day period referred to in clause (iii) above, or if such third appraiser does not make a determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value within twenty (20) days after his selection, then such third appraiser or a substituted third appraiser, as applicable, shall, at the request of either party hereto (with respect to the other party), be appointed by the President or Chairman of the American Arbitration Association in New York, New York. The determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value made by the third appraiser appointed pursuant hereto shall be made within twenty (20) days after such appointment. (v) If a third appraiser is selected, Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value shall be the average of the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value made by the third appraiser and the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value made by the appraiser (selected pursuant to Paragraph 29(a)(ii) hereof) whose determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value is nearest to that of the third appraiser. Such average shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant. (vi) All appraisers selected or appointed pursuant to this Paragraph 29(a) shall (A) be independent qualified MAI appraisers (B) have no right, power or authority to alter or modify the provisions of this Lease, (C) utilize the definition of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value hereinabove set forth above, and (D) be registered in the State if the State provides for or requires such registration. (vii) The Cost of the procedure described in this Paragraph 29(a) above shall be borne equally by Tenant and Landlord except that if the appraisals are conducted as a result of an Event of Default, the Cost shall be borne solely by Tenant. (b) If, by virtue of any delay, Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value is not determined by the expiration or termination of the then current Term, then the date on which the Term would otherwise expire or terminate shall be extended with respect to the Leased Premises or the Affected Premises, as applicable, to the date specified for termination in the particular provision of this Lease pursuant to which the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value is being made. If, by virtue of any delay, Fair Market Rental Value is not determined by the expiration or termination of the then current Term, then until Fair Market Rental Value is determined, Tenant shall continue to pay Basic Rent during the succeeding Renewal Term in the same amount which it was obligated under this Lease to pay prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term. When Fair Market Rental Value is determined, the appropriate Basic Rent shall be calculated retroactive to the commencement of the Renewal Term and Tenant shall either receive a refund from Landlord (in the case of an overpayment) or shall pay any deficiency to Landlord (in the case of an underpayment). (c) In determining Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value as defined in clause (b) of the definition of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value, the appraisers shall add (a) the present value of the Rent for the remaining Term, assuming the Term has been extended for all extension periods provided herein (with assumed increases in the CPI to be determined by the appraisers) using a discount rate (which may be determined by an investment banker retained by each appraiser) based on the creditworthiness of Tenant and (b) the present value of the Leased Premises as of the end of such Term (having assumed the Term has been extended for all extension periods provided herein). The appraisers shall further assume that no default then exists under the Lease, that Tenant has complied (and will comply) with all provisions of the Lease. (d) In determining Fair Market Rental Value, the appraisers shall determine with respect to each Related Premises the amount that a willing tenant would pay, and a willing landlord of a comparable building located in a radius of 125 miles of each Related Premises would accept, at arm’s length, to rent a building of comparable size and quality as the Improvements, taking into account: (a) the age, quality, condition (as required by the Lease) of the Improvements; (b) that the Leased Premises will be leased as a whole or substantially as a whole to a single user; (c) a lease term of five (5) years; (d) an absolute triple net lease; and (e) such other items that professional real estate appraisers customarily consider.
