Top-Up Option (a) The Company hereby grants to Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), exercisable only on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.10, to purchase at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) the last reported sale price of a Share on The Nasdaq Stock Market on the last trading day prior to the date on which the Top-Up Option is exercised or (ii) the Closing Amount, newly issued Shares (the “Top-Up Shares”) so that, when added to the number of Shares owned by Sub prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option, Sub will own at least ninety percent (90%) of the Shares outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Shares (not including in the Shares owned by Sub any Shares tendered pursuant to unfulfilled guaranteed delivery procedures); provided, however, that (i) the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable for a number of Shares in excess of the Shares authorized and unissued at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option and (ii) the Top-Up Option may not be exercised unless, following the Acceptance Time or after a subsequent offering period, seventy percent (70%) or more of the Shares shall be owned by Sub. The Top-Up Option shall be exercisable once at any time following the Acceptance Time and prior to the earlier to occur of (A) the Effective Time and (B) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Sub may assign the Top-Up Option and its rights and obligations pursuant to this Section 1.10, in its sole discretion, to Parent.
(b) The parties shall cooperate to ensure that the issuance and delivery of the Top-Up Shares complies with all applicable Laws, including compliance with an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. If Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Sub shall give the Company written notice, specifying (i) the number of Shares owned by Sub, (ii) a place and a time for the closing of such purchase and (iii) the manner in which Sub intends to pay the applicable purchase price. The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, deliver written notice to Sub specifying, based on the information provided by Sub in its notice, the number of Top-Up Shares. Prior to the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, upon Sub’s request, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to certify in writing to Sub the number of Shares issued and outstanding (A) as of immediately prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option and (B) after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Shares.
(c) The aggregate purchase price payable for the Top-Up Shares may be paid, at Sub’s option, (i) in cash, (ii) by executing and delivering to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the balance of the remaining aggregate purchase price, or (iii) a combination thereof, provided that Sub shall use cash for at least the aggregate par value of the Top-Up Shares. The Company Board has approved such consideration for the Top-Up Shares. Any such promissory note shall include the following terms: (1) the maturity date shall be one (1) year after issuance, (2) the unpaid principal amount of the promissory note shall accrue simple interest at a per annum rate of 3.00% and (3) the promissory note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, without penalty or prior notice.
(d) Parent and Sub acknowledge that the Shares that Sub may acquire upon exercise of the Top-Up Option shall not be registered under the Securities Act and shall be issued in reliance upon an exemption for transactions not involving a public offering. Sub agrees that the Top-Up Option, and the Top-Up Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, if any, are being and shall be acquired by Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act).
(e) The obligation of the Company to deliver Top-Up Shares upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option is subject to the conditions that (i) no provision of any applicable Law and no judgment, injunction, order or decree shall prohibit the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the delivery of the Top-Up Shares in respect of such exercise, (ii) due to the exercise of the Top-Up Option, the number of Shares owned by Parent, Sub and their Affiliates will constitute more than ninety percent (90%) of the number of Shares that will be outstanding on a fully-diluted basis immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Shares, and (iii) Sub has accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn.
Our Option If we give you written notice within 30 days after we receive your signed, sworn proof of loss, we may repair or replace any part of the damaged property with material or property of like kind and quality.
Vested Options On the next regularly scheduled payroll date of the Surviving Corporation occurring more than five (5) Business Days but less than twenty (20) Business Days following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall pay to each holder of a Vested Option (other than with respect to Non-Withholding Options) for whom Acquiror has received a duly executed Option Termination Agreement an amount in cash equal to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Vested Option multiplied by an amount equal to the difference between (a) the Per Share Closing Consideration, minus (b) the exercise price per share under such Vested Option, minus (c) such holder’s applicable Percentage of the Escrow Amount in respect of such Vested Option (the “Closing Options Payout Amount”). Following the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall cause the applicable Closing Options Payout Amount to be paid to each holder of a Vested Option which is a Non-Withholding Option for whom Acquiror has received a duly executed Option Termination Agreement. The Closing Options Payout Amount payable to each holder of a Vested Option shall be set forth opposite such holder’s name on the Payment Schedule (such consideration subject to adjustment as provided herein and any applicable withholding Taxes). In the event of a conflict between the Payment Schedule and the provisions of this Agreement, the Payment Schedule shall control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended as of the date hereof) (the “Restated Certificate”), Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Equityholder Representative and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on the Payment Schedule as conclusive evidence of amounts payable to the holders of Vested Options pursuant to this Agreement. Each holder of a Vested Option, subject to receipt of a duly executed Option Termination Agreement, shall be entitled to receive with respect to each Vested Option subject thereto, such holder’s Percentage of the Earnout Payments, as and when such payments are required to be made, which amount shall be paid on the same schedule and on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Stockholders generally.
Unvested Options Each unvested outstanding Company Option held by a Continuing Employee (each an “Unvested Company Option”) shall be assumed by Parent (the “Assumed Options”) and will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Unvested Company Option documents (including any applicable Company Option Plan and stock option agreement or other document evidencing such Unvested Company Option, including but not limited to any employment or other agreement providing for accelerated vesting or other terms governing such Assumed Options) immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any repurchase rights or vesting provisions), except that (i) each such Unvested Company Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Conversion Rate (rounded down to the next whole number of shares of Parent Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding), and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Unvested Company Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Unvested Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Conversion Rate, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. The assumption and conversion of Unvested Company Options by Parent are intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.424-1 (to the extent such options were incentive stock options) and of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D). Following the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of Parent or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Board of Directors of Company or any committee thereof with respect to each Assumed Option and references to Company shall become references to Parent under the applicable Company Option Plan and stock option agreement or other document evidencing such Assumed Option. Each unvested outstanding Company Option that is not an Unvested Company Option shall be treated as a Cancelled Option and shall be cancelled and extinguished, with no consideration payable in connection with such cancellation and no further rights to the holder thereof, at the Effective Time.
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”).
Nonstatutory Stock Option If the Grant Notice so designates, this Option is intended to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option and shall not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code.
Pre-Closing Option Provided that the Recipient satisfies the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Recipient may elect to have Funds delivered by the OPWC to the Title Agent prior to Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Recipient shall make such election, if at all, by delivering to the OPWC a Disbursement Request Form and Certification in the form of Appendix E to this Agreement (the "Disbursement Request"), which shall identify the Title Agent as payee and shall be delivered after the Recipient's receipt of a Notice to Proceed and not more than sixty (60) days prior to Closing. The OPWC shall then deliver to the Title Agent Funds to be disbursed under this Agreement for the land acquisition, which Funds may be held, together with the Matching Funds, in an account subject to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement. Any interest that accrues thereon shall be used by the Recipient for settlement costs. If the interest paid on such escrow account exceeds the settlement costs to be paid by the Recipient, then such funds shall be applied to the Cost of Project. If all of the conditions to the release of Funds set forth in the Escrow Agreement have been satisfied, the Title Agent shall release the escrowed Funds at Closing and apply the same to the land acquisition costs in accordance herewith and the settlement statement executed and delivered at the Closing. After Closing, the Recipient may request additional disbursements of Funds available under this Agreement relating to the land acquisition, including costs incurred in connection with appraisal of the Land, closing costs, title search, environmental assessments and other eligible costs. Within sixty (60) days of Closing, the Recipient shall deliver to the OPWC, or shall cause the Title Agent to deliver to the OPWC, a copy of the recorded Deed Restrictions and deed, or other instrument appropriate for the interest in the Land, and the executed settlement statement. If the Recipient does not close within thirty (30) days of disbursement, the Recipient must contact the OPWC immediately.
Standard Option The Connecting Transmission Owner shall design, procure, and construct the Connecting Transmission Owner’s Attachment Facilities and System Upgrade Facilities and System Deliverability Upgrades, using Reasonable Efforts to complete the Connecting Transmission Owner’s Attachment Facilities and System Upgrade Facilities and System Deliverability Upgrades by the dates set forth in Appendix B hereto. The Connecting Transmission Owner shall not be required to undertake any action which is inconsistent with its standard safety practices, its material and equipment specifications, its design criteria and construction procedures, its labor agreements, and Applicable Laws and Regulations. In the event the Connecting Transmission Owner reasonably expects that it will not be able to complete the Connecting Transmission Owner’s Attachment Facilities and System Upgrade Facilities and System Deliverability Upgrades by the specified dates, the Connecting Transmission Owner shall promptly provide written notice to the Developer and NYISO, and shall undertake Reasonable Efforts to meet the earliest dates thereafter.

(i) To the extent the option is exercised for vested Option Shares, execute and deliver to the Corporation a Notice of Exercise for the Option Shares for which the option is exercised. To the extent this option is exercised for unvested Option Shares, execute and deliver to the Corporation a Purchase Agreement for those unvested Option Shares.
(ii) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased shares in one or more of the following forms:
(A) cash or check made payable to the Corporation,
(B) shares of Common Stock held by Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, or
(C) to the extent the option is exercised for vested Option Shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (I) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (II) to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale.
(iii) Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation that the person or persons exercising the option (if other than Optionee) have the right to exercise this option.

(c) As soon after the Exercise Date as practical, the Corporation shall issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising this option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares, with the appropriate legends affixed thereto. To the extent any such Option Shares are unvested, the certificates for those Option Shares shall be endorsed with an appropriate legend evidencing the Corporation's repurchase rights and may be held in escrow with the Corporation until such shares vest.
