Issuance of Stock (a) No shares of Stock shall be issued to you prior to the date on which the Restricted Stock Units vest and the restrictions, including the Forfeiture Restrictions, with respect to the Restricted Stock Units lapse, in accordance with Section 6 or 7. After the Restricted Stock Units vest pursuant to Section 6 or 7, as applicable, the Company shall, subject to any conditions described in subsection (b) below, promptly and within 30 days of such vesting date, cause to be issued Stock registered in your name in payment of such vested Restricted Stock Units upon receipt by the Company of any required tax withholding. Such issuance shall be made as soon as administratively practicable, but may be delayed, in the sole discretion of the Committee, if required by applicable securities law; provided, that, in no event shall the issuance of Stock be made later than March 15th of the year following the year of vesting, or as otherwise may be permitted under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4)(ii). The Company shall evidence the Stock to be issued in payment of such vested Restricted Stock Units in the manner it deems appropriate. The value of any fractional Restricted Stock Units shall be rounded down at the time Stock is issued to you in connection with the Restricted Stock Units. No fractional shares of Stock, nor the cash value of any fractional shares of Stock, will be issuable or payable to you pursuant to this Agreement. The value of such shares of Stock shall not bear any interest owing to the passage of time. Neither this Section 5 nor any action taken pursuant to or in accordance with this Section 5 shall be construed to create a trust or a funded or secured obligation of any kind.
(b) You hereby acknowledge that by accepting this Award, the issuance of Stock pursuant to the settlement of your Restricted Stock Units pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of any Management Stockholder’s Agreement and Sale Participation Agreement previously executed by you, as such forms may be modified under the terms of such agreements; provided, however, that if you have not previously executed a Management Stockholder’s Agreement and/or a Sale Participation Agreement with the Company, you agree that, prior to the Company’s issuance of Stock to you pursuant to this Agreement, you will execute such documents in the form required by the Company. All Stock issued to you pursuant to this Agreement will (a) constitute “Stock” (as such term is defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement) for all purposes under the Management Stockholder’s Agreement, and (b) be treated as “Common Stock” underlying “Options” (as such terms are defined in the Sale Participation Agreement) for all purposes under the Sale Participation Agreement.
(c) The shares of Stock deliverable upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, may be either previously authorized but unissued shares or issued shares, which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable.
Issuance of Shares of Stock As soon as practicable following each Vesting Date (but in no event later than two and one-half months after the end of the year in which the Vesting Date occurs), the Company shall issue to the Grantee the number of shares of Stock equal to the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units that have vested pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Agreement on such date and the Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such shares.
Issuance of Shares The Conversion Shares are duly authorized and reserved for issuance and, upon conversion of the Note in accordance with its respective terms, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Company and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.
Valid Issuance of Stock The Purchased Shares, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the consideration provided for herein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
Issuance of Stock Certificates In the event of any exercise of this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise (the “Delivery Date”) or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is then in effect), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if the Issuer and its transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system. The Holder shall deliver this original Warrant, or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction, at such time that this Warrant is fully exercised. With respect to partial exercises of this Warrant, the Issuer shall keep written records for the Holder of the number of shares of Warrant Stock exercised as of each date of exercise.
Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates The shares of Stock deliverable upon the exercise of the Option, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued shares of Stock or issued shares of Stock which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such shares of Stock shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of the Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:
(a) The admission of such shares of Stock to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Stock is then listed;
(b) The completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares of Stock under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable;
(c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable;
(d) The receipt by the Company of full payment for such shares of Stock, including payment of any applicable withholding tax, which may be in one or more of the forms of consideration permitted under Section 4.4; and
(e) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.
Restriction on Issuance of Shares The Grantor shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for Shares purchased upon the exercise of the Option unless (a) the issuance of such Shares has been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, or counsel to the Grantor shall have given an opinion that such registration is not required; (b) approval, to the extent required, shall have been obtained from any state regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof; and (c) permission for the listing of such shares shall have been given by any national securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Grantor is at the time of issuance listed.
Issuance of Shares of Common Stock on Exercise As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Warrant Price (if payment is pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(a)), the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder of such Warrant a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and if such Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new book-entry position or countersigned Warrant, as applicable, for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such Warrant shall not have been exercised. If fewer than all the Warrants evidenced by a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate are exercised, a notation shall be made to the records maintained by the Depositary, its nominee for each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, or a Participant, as appropriate, evidencing the balance of the Warrants remaining after such exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and shall have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company’s satisfying its obligations under Section 7.4. No Warrant shall be exercisable and the Company shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Common Stock issuable upon such Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt from registration or qualification under the securities laws of the state of residence of the Registered Holder of the Warrants, except pursuant to Section 7.4. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant, the holder of such Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant may have no value and expire worthless, in which case the purchaser of a Unit containing such Public Warrants shall have paid the full purchase price for the Unit solely for the shares of Common Stock underlying such Unit. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Warrant exercise. The Company may require holders of Public Warrants to settle the Warrant on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(b)
Reservation of Stock Issuable on Exercise of Warrant The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant.
Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the indebtedness represented by this Note, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all indebtedness represented by this Note, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all indebtedness represented by this Note, the Corporation will take such action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
