Common use of Exercise of an Option Clause in Contracts

Exercise of an Option. The exercise of an Option shall be made only by a written notice delivered in person or by mail to the Secretary of the Company at the Company's principal executive office, specifying the number of Shares to be purchased and accompanied by payment therefor. The purchase price for any Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be paid in full upon such exercise by delivery of cash or personal check in amount of purchase price. The written notice may provide instructions from the Optionee to the Company that upon receipt of the purchase price in cash from the Optionee's broker or dealer, designated as such on the written notice, in payment for any Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option, the Company shall issue such Shares directly to the broker or dealer. If requested by the Board, the Optionee shall deliver this Agreement to the Secretary of the Company who shall endorse thereon a notation of such exercise and return such Agreement to the Optionee. No fractional Shares (or cash in lieu thereof) shall be issued upon exercise of an Option and the number of Shares that may be purchased upon exercise shall be rounded to the nearest number of whole Shares.
