Exercise of Stock Option (a) The Optionee may exercise this Option only in the following manner: from time to time on or prior to the Expiration Date of this Option, the Optionee may give written notice to the Board of Directors or its authorized committee (the “Administrator”) of his or her election to purchase some or all of the vested Option Shares purchasable at the time of such notice. This notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased. Payment of the Stock Option purchase price for the Option Shares may be made by one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator; (ii) in the form of shares of Stock that are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan and that have been held by the Optionee for at least six months prior to the exercise date; or (iii) by the Optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Administrator to pay the Stock Option purchase price, provided that in the event the Optionee chooses to pay the Stock Option purchase price as so provided in this subsection (iii), the Optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure. Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. The delivery of certificates representing the Option Shares will be contingent upon the Company’s receipt from the Optionee of full payment for the Option Shares, as set forth above and any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Administrator may require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of Options under the Plan and any subsequent resale of the shares of Stock will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. (b) Certificates for shares of Stock purchased upon exercise of this Stock Option shall be issued and delivered to the Optionee upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Administrator with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the Administrator as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Optionee. The Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder of the shares subject to this Stock Option, or to have any of the rights of a holder, unless and until this Stock Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall have issued and delivered the shares to the Optionee, and the Optionee’s name shall have been entered as the stockholder of record on the books of the Company. Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and other ownership rights with respect to such shares of Stock. (c) The minimum number of shares with respect to which this Stock Option may be exercised at any one time shall be 100 shares, unless the number of shares with respect to which this Stock Option is being exercised is the total number of shares subject to exercise under this Stock Option at the time. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date hereof.
Exercise of Stock Options If stock options granted in connection with a Stock Incentive Plan are exercised: (1) Crescent Equities shall, as soon as practicable after such exercise, contribute to the capital of the Partnership an amount equal to the exercise price paid to Crescent Equities by the exercising party; (2) Crescent Equities shall, as of the date on which the purchase of the REIT Shares is consummated by such exercising party, be deemed to have contributed to the Partnership as Contributed Funds pursuant to Section 4.2.A(2) hereof an amount equal to the fair market value (computed using the "closing price" (as such term is defined in the definition of "Value" in Article I hereof) as of the date on which such purchase of REIT Shares is consummated by such exercising party) of the REIT Shares delivered by Crescent Equities to such exercising party; and (3) the General Partner's Partnership Interest shall remain unchanged, and the Partnership Interests of Crescent Equities and the other Limited Partners shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 4.2, based on the amount deemed to be contributed, determined pursuant to Section 4.6.B(2); provided that, for purposes of calculating the "Deemed Value of the Partnership" and the "Deemed Partnership Interest Value" under Section 4.2, the "Value" of a REIT Share shall be the "closing price" (as such term is defined in the definition of the term "Value" in Article I hereof) of a REIT Share as of the date on which the purchase of REIT Shares is consummated by the exercising party.
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.
Exercise of Option The Over-allotment Option granted pursuant to Section 1.2.1 hereof may be exercised by the Representative as to all (at any time) or any part (from time to time) of the Option Units within 45 days after the Effective Date. The Underwriters will not be under any obligation to purchase any Option Units prior to the exercise of the Over-allotment Option. The Over-allotment Option granted hereby may be exercised by the giving of oral notice to the Company by the Representative, which must be confirmed in writing by overnight mail or facsimile transmission setting forth the number of Option Units to be purchased and the date and time for delivery of and payment for the Option Units (the "Option Closing Date"), which will not be later than five full business days after the date of the notice or such other time as shall be agreed upon by the Company and the Representative, at the offices of the Representative or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Company and the Representative. Upon exercise of the Over-allotment Option, the Company will become obligated to convey to the Underwriters, and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Underwriters will become obligated to purchase, the number of Option Units specified in such notice.
Stock Option Subject to approval by the Board, the Company will grant Executive, during the fourth calendar quarter of 2015 (and subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company through the grant date), under the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), an incentive stock option to purchase 130,444 shares of Company common stock (an “Option”), with an exercise price equal to $1.12 per share, which is equal to the fair market value of the shares of Company common stock underlying the Option on the grant date. Subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date, the Option will vest and become exercisable with respect to one-forty-eighth (1/48th) of the shares subject thereto on each monthly anniversary of January 1, 2016. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company experiences a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) prior to the full vesting (or forfeiture) of the Option and Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined below) within three (3) months prior to the consummation of such Change in Control, then, subject to Section 6(b) below, one hundred percent (100%) of any then-unvested portion of the Option will vest and become exercisable immediately prior to such Change in Control. In addition, (i) if the Company experiences a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) prior to the full vesting (or forfeiture) of the Option and Executive remains employed by the Company through at least immediately prior to such Change in Control, fifty percent (50%) of any then-unvested portion of the Option shall vest immediately prior to such Change in Control, and (ii) if the Company experiences a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) prior to the full vesting (or forfeiture) of the Option and Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause within two (2) years following the consummation of such Change in Control, subject to and conditioned upon Executive’s timely execution and non-revocation of a Release (as defined below), one hundred percent (100%) of any then-unvested portion of the Option will vest in full and become exercisable upon the effectiveness of the Release. Each Option will be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and in an award agreement to be entered into between the Company and Executive, which will evidence the grant of the Option (each, an “Option Agreement”).
Exercise of SAR In order to exercise the SAR, the SAR Holder shall submit to the Company an instrument specifying the whole number of Shares in respect of which the SAR is being exercised. Shares will be issued accordingly by the Company within 30 days. The payment upon a SAR exercise shall be solely the number of whole Shares calculated in paragraph (a) above. Fractional Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share with no cash consideration being paid upon exercise. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares hereunder if the issuance of such Shares would violate the provision of any applicable law, in which event the Company shall, as soon as practicable, take whatever action it reasonably can so that such Shares may be issued without resulting in such violations of law.
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.
Option (a) In order to induce Parent and Purchaser to enter into the Merger Agreement, Stockholder hereby grants to Purchaser an irrevocable option (a "SECURITIES OPTION") to purchase the Securities (the "OPTION SECURITIES") at the Offer Price, subject to increase as set forth below (the "PURCHASE PRICE"). The Securities Option may be exercised, in whole but not in part, by written notice to Stockholder (as set forth below), for a period of ten (10) business days (the "10 DAY PERIOD") following termination of the Merger Agreement or termination of the Offer, whichever shall first occur; PROVIDED that, prior to such termination, either (i) a Trigger Event shall have occurred or (ii) (A) the Company shall have received a written proposal from any person other than Parent, Purchaser or any affiliate of Parent or Purchaser for an Acquisition Transaction, which proposal shall not have expired or been withdrawn, (B) the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(b), 8.01(d)(ii), 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) and (C) at the time of such termination the Minimum Condition shall not have been satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities Option may not be exercised until: (i) all waiting periods under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR ACT"), required for the purchase of the Securities upon such exercise shall have expired or been waived and any other conditions under the other Antitrust Laws shall have been satisfied and (ii) there shall not be in effect any preliminary injunction or other order issued by any Governmental Entity prohibiting the exercise of the Securities Option pursuant to this Agreement; provided that if (i) all HSR Act waiting periods shall not have expired or been terminated or (ii) there shall be in effect any such injunction or order, in each case on the expiration of the 10 Day Period, the 10 Day Period shall be extended until five (5) business days after the later of (A) the date of expiration or termination of all HSR Act waiting periods, and (B) the date of removal or lifting of such injunction or order. (b) In the event that Purchaser wishes to exercise the Securities Option, Purchaser shall send a written notice (the "NOTICE") to Stockholder identifying the date (not less than two (2) nor more than five (5) business days from the date of the Notice) for the closing of such purchase, which closing shall be held at the executive offices of the Company (or such other place as the parties may agree). At the closing, Stockholder shall deliver to Purchaser appropriate and effective instruments of transfer of the Option Securities, against payment to Stockholder of the Purchase Price, in same day funds, by wire transfer to such account as Stockholder shall designate. (c) In the event the Option Securities are acquired by Purchaser pursuant to the exercise of the Securities Option (the "ACQUIRED SECURITIES") and, either before or at any time within the one-year period following such acquisition, Parent, Purchaser or any affiliate of Parent or Purchaser shall acquire Common Stock (other than from the Company) at a price in excess of the Purchase Price, then the Purchase Price hereunder shall be increased to such higher price. If the purchase of the Acquired Securities has been completed at the time of such increase, Stockholder shall be entitled to receive, and Purchaser shall promptly (and in no event more than 48 hours following such increase) pay to Stockholder, by wire transfer of same day funds to such account as Stockholder shall designate, the amount of the increase. (d) In the event the Option Securities are acquired by Purchaser pursuant to the exercise of the Securities Option, Stockholder shall be entitled to receive, and Purchaser shall promptly (and in no event more than 48 hours following such Sale) pay to Stockholder, upon any subsequent disposition, transfer or sale to an unaffiliated third party ("SALE") of all or any portion of the Acquired Securities within the one-year period following such acquisition, an amount per share in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the net proceeds received per share in the Sale over the Purchase Price. Any such payment shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds to such account as Stockholder shall designate.
Exercise of Call Option 3.1 During the Call Option Period, PCCW may exercise the Call Option by delivering to PubCo a written notice (the “Call Notice”) specifying the principal amount of the Call Option Note it elects to subscribe for (such principal amount, the “Call Option Note Amount”). 3.2 On the fifth (5th) Business Day following the delivery of a Call Notice (or such other date as may be mutually agreed between PubCo and PCCW) (such date, the “Call Option Closing Date”), (a) PCCW shall deliver or cause to be delivered to PubCo one or more payment references for US$ CHATS (or such other payment references mutually agreed between PubCo and PCCW) in connection with the payment of the Call Option Note Amount to PubCo’s designated bank account (details of which shall be provided by PubCo to PCCW in writing at least three (3) Business Days before the Call Option Closing Date). (b) PubCo shall (i) issue and deliver to PCCW a Call Option Note in favour of PCCW payable in the principal amount of the Call Option Note Amount, together with a certified copy of the register of holders of the Call Option Notes as at such Call Option Closing Date, and (ii) issue and deliver to PCCW such number of Class A Ordinary Shares as determined in accordance with Section 2.1(b), and cause such Class A Ordinary Shares to be registered in book entry form and registered in PubCo’s share register or register of members (as applicable) in PCCW’s name. 3.3 The Class A Ordinary Shares issued to PCCW upon any exercise of the Call Option shall: (a) be credited as fully paid, (b) have the rights set out in the PubCo Charter relating to Class A Ordinary Shares; and (c) rank pari passu in all respects with those Class A Ordinary Shares in issue on the Call Option Closing Date. 3.4 No fractions of a Class A Ordinary Share shall be issued on the exercise of the Call Option. If, by reason of any provisions in this Agreement, PCCW would otherwise be entitled, upon the exercise of the Call Option, to receive a fractional interest in a Class A Ordinary Share, PubCo shall, upon such exercise, round down the number of the Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued to PCCW to the nearest whole number. 3.5 Each of the Class A Ordinary Shares acquired by PCCW (or its permitted transferees) pursuant to this Agreement during the Lock-Up Period (as defined in the Company Shareholders Support Agreement) shall be subject to the lock-up restrictions and other provisions of the Company Shareholders Support Agreement.
Exercise of SARs Upon exercise of a SAR, the Participant (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive from the Company (a) Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price.
