The Optional Shares; Option Closing Date In addition, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and upon the terms but subject to the conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants an option to the several Underwriters to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to an aggregate of [•] Optional Shares from the Company at the purchase price per share to be paid by the Underwriters for the Firm Shares. The option granted hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time in whole or in part upon notice by the Representatives to the Company, which notice may be given at any time within 30 days from the date of this Agreement. Such notice shall set forth (i) the aggregate number of Optional Shares as to which the Underwriters are exercising the option and (ii) the time, date and place at which the Optional Shares will be delivered (which time and date may be simultaneous with, but not earlier than, the First Closing Date; and in the event that such time and date are simultaneous with the First Closing Date, the term “First Closing Date” shall refer to the time and date of delivery of the Firm Shares and such Optional Shares). Any such time and date of delivery, if subsequent to the First Closing Date, is called an “Option Closing Date,” and shall be determined by the Representatives and shall not be earlier than two or later than five full business days after delivery of such notice of exercise. If any Optional Shares are to be purchased, each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Optional Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Representatives may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Optional Shares to be purchased as the number of Firm Shares set forth on Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Shares. The Representatives may cancel the option at any time prior to its expiration by giving written notice of such cancellation to the Company.
Put Option The Company hereby grants to Lender an option (the “Put Option”) to sell all or any portion of the Issued Shares (the “Put Shares”) to the Company for a total purchase price of $195,000, pro-rated for any portion thereof (the “Put Price”). The Put Option may be exercised with respect to any amount that is equal to or less than the entire balance of the outstanding Put Shares, at any time during the earlier to occur of the following Put Option exercise periods (the “Put Period”): (a) the ten (10) Business Day period commencing on the first anniversary hereof, or (b) the ten (10) Business Day period commencing on the date which is nine (9) months after the date that the registration statement for the registration of the Issued Shares is declared effective by the SEC . If not exercised during the Put Period, the Put Option shall terminate and shall be of no further force or effect. The Put Option shall be exercisable by Lender’s delivery of written notice to the Company (the “Put Notice”). The Put Notice shall specify the date on which the closing of the purchase of the Put Shares shall take place (the “Put Closing Date”), which such date shall be no earlier than ten (10) days but no later than thirty (30) days from the date of the Put Notice. On or before the Put Closing Date, Lender will deliver to the Company the certificate(s) representing the Put Shares (duly endorsed for transfer by Lender or accompanied by duly executed stock powers in blank) and the Company shall tender to Lender the Put Price in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account at a bank designated by Lender. The Company and Lender acknowledge and agree that the Company’s obligation to purchase the Issued Shares from Lender pursuant to the Put Option is an Obligation secured by the Collateral and any related guarantees under the Loan Documents, and for so long as the Put Option is outstanding and, if exercised, the Put Price is not yet tendered, the Lender’s right to receive the Put Price shall be secured by the Collateral and any related guarantees under the Loan Documents. Lender’s right to exercise the Put Option shall not be transferred or assigned to any third party.
6.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the exercise of the Put Option upon a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Loan Agreement), as follows: The Company shall send written notice of the proposed Fundamental Transaction (“Fundamental Transaction Notice”) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the proposed consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, together with all relevant information relating thereto, in form sufficient to enable Lender to make an informed decision as to whether it should accelerate the Put Option. Within fifteen (15) days of Lender’s receipt of the Fundamental Transaction Notice, Lender shall advise the Company whether the Lender has elected to accelerate the exercise of the Put Option. Lender’s failure to timely notify the Company of Lender’s intention to accelerate the Put Option shall be deemed an intention to decline to accelerate the Put Option.
6.2 In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the exercise of the Put Option following an Event of Default under the Loan Documents (which acceleration right shall not be waived if not exercised following a prior Event of Default), in which event the Put Price shall be added to the Obligations under the Loan Agreement and secured by the Collateral thereunder, and shall be immediately due and payable to Lender.
6.3 If any portion of the Note is converted into Common Stock pursuant to the Loan Documents, the Put Option set forth hereinabove, if not terminated by its terms herein, shall terminate.
Call Option The Company shall have the option to "call" the Warrants (the "Warrant Call"), in accordance with and governed by the following:
(a) The Company shall exercise the Warrant Call by giving to each Warrant Holder a written notice of call (the "Call Notice") during the period in which the Warrant Call may be exercised.
(b) The Company's right to exercise the Warrant Call shall commence with the actual effective date of the registration statement described in Section 10.1(iv) of the Subscription Agreement and thereafter, shall be coterminous with the exercise period of the Warrants for a maximum of 50% of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant (the "Warrant Shares"), provided, that the registration statement is effective at the date the Call Notice is given and through the period ending 14 business days thereafter. In no event may the Company exercise the Warrant Call at any time unless the Warrant Shares to be delivered upon exercise of the Warrant, will be upon delivery, immediately resalable, without restrictive legend and upon such resale freely transferable on the transfer books of the Company.
(c) Unless otherwise agreed to by the Warrant Holder, the Call Notices must be given to all Warrant Holders who receive Warrants similar to this Warrant (in terms of exercise price and otherwise) on or about the same issue date as this Warrant in proportion to the amounts of Common Stock which can be purchased by the respective Warrant Holders in accordance with the respective Warrant held by each.
(d) The Company may give a Call Notice in connection with up to 50% of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant provided the closing bid price of the Common Stock as reported by the Principal Market as defined in the Subscription Agreement, for each trading day during the thirty days prior to the giving of the Call Notice ("Lookback Period") is 200% of the Purchase Price and the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock during the Lookback Period is not less than 100,000 Common Shares. Subject to the other limitations set forth herein, the maximum amount of Warrant Shares for which Call Notices may be given during any thirty day period shall be equal to 10% of the aggregate reported trading volume of the Common Stock during the Lookback Period.
(e) The respective Warrant Holders shall exercise their Warrant rights and purchase the appropriate Warrant Shares and pay for same within 14 business days of the date of the Call Notice. If the Warrant Holder fails to timely pay the funds required by the Warrant Call, the Company may elect to cancel a corresponding amount of this Warrant.
(f) The Company may not exercise the right to Call this Warrant or any part of it after the occurrence of a Non-Registration Event, as defined in the Subscription Agreement, unless same were subject to cure and cured during the stated cure period.
Termination Option Event The term “
Option; Option Price On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 18 of this Agreement, the Optionee shall have the option (the “Option”) to purchase Shares at the price per Share (the “Option Price”) and in the amounts set forth on the signature page hereto. Payment of the Option Price may be made in the manner specified by Section 5.9 of the Plan. The Option is not intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Except as otherwise provided in Section 7 of this Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable as to all Vested Options (as defined in Section 4) until the expiration of the Option Term (as defined in Section 3). Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement, upon a Termination of Relationship, the unvested portion of the Option (i.e., that portion which does not constitute Vested Options) shall terminate.
Default Exceeding 10% of Firm Units or Option Units In the event that the default addressed in Section 6.1 above relates to more than 10% of the Firm Units or Option Units, the Representative may in its discretion arrange for itself or for another party or parties to purchase such Firm Units or Option Units to which such default relates on the terms contained herein. If, within one (1) Business Day after such default relating to more than 10% of the Firm Units or Option Units, the Representative does not arrange for the purchase of such Firm Units or Option Units, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of one (1) Business Day within which to procure another party or parties satisfactory to the Company and the Representative to purchase said Firm Units or Option Units on such terms. In the event the Representative does not arrange for the purchase of the Firm Units or Option Units to which a default relates as provided in this Section 6, this Agreement may be terminated by the Company without liability on the part of the Company (except as provided in Sections 3.12 and 5 hereof) or the several Underwriters (except as provided in Section 5 hereof); provided, however, that if such default occurs with respect to the Option Units, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Units; and provided further that nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the other several Underwriters and to the Company for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
Termination of Repurchase Option Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Agreement shall terminate upon the exercise in full or expiration of the Repurchase Option, whichever occurs first.
Extension Option The Borrower may request that the Commitments be extended for up to two additional one year periods by providing not less than 30 days’ written notice (the date of such notice, a “Notice Date”) to the Administrative Agent prior to any anniversary of the Closing Date. If a Bank agrees, in its individual and sole discretion (and with the approval of the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks, such approval, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), to extend its Commitment (such Bank, an “Extending Bank”), it will notify the Administrative Agent, in writing, of its decision to do so no later than 15 days after the applicable Notice Date (such extension decision, a “Commitment Extension”). The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, in writing, of the Banks’ decisions promptly upon receipt thereof and in any event not later than one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof. The Extending Banks’ Commitments will be extended for an additional year from the then current Maturity Date so long as (i) the Commitments of the Extending Banks (after giving effect to any assumption by any Extending Banks of Commitments of Declining Banks as described below), together with the Commitments of any New Banks that replace any Declining Banks, represent more than 50% of the Total Commitments then in effect, and (ii) on the date of any request by the Borrower to extend the Commitments, the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.3 shall be satisfied. No Commitment Extension shall result in the then-existing Maturity Date being more than five (5) years from the effective date of such Commitment Extension. No Bank shall be required to consent to any such extension request or be required to increase its Commitment. The Maturity Date with respect to any Bank that declines or does not respond to the Borrower’s request for an extension of the Commitments (a “Declining Bank”) shall remain the then-existing Maturity Date (without regard to any extension of the Commitments of other Banks); provided that the Borrower shall continue to have the right to replace any such Declining Bank (with respect to all or any portion of its Commitment) following the effectiveness of any such extension. The Borrower will have the right to accept Commitments from any Eligible Assignee that is not a Bank in an aggregate amount up to the aggregate amount of the Commitments of any Declining Banks; provided that any Eligible Assignee proposed to be substituted for a Declining Bank (unless such Eligible Assignee is an affiliate of a Bank) must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks, such approval, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Borrower may only extend the Maturity Date twice during the term of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.7.
Exercise of Over-allotment Option The Over-allotment Option granted pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof may be exercised by the Representative within 45 days of the Closing Date. The purchase price to be paid per Additional Shares shall be equal to the price per Firm Share in Section 2(a). The Underwriters shall not be under any obligation to purchase any Additional Shares 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 from the Underwriters, which shall be confirmed in writing via overnight mail or facsimile or other electronic transmission, setting forth the number of Additional Shares to be purchased and the date and time for delivery of and payment for the Additional Shares (the “Option Closing Date”), which shall not be later than five (5) full Business Days after the date of the notice or such other time as shall be agreed upon by the Company and the Underwriters, at the offices of the Representative’s counsel or at such other place (including remotely by facsimile or other electronic transmission) as shall be agreed upon by the Company and the Underwriters. If such delivery and payment for the Additional Shares does not occur on the Closing Date, the Option Closing Date will be as set forth in the notice. Upon exercise of the Over-allotment Option with respect to all or any portion of the Additional Shares, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) the Company shall become obligated to sell to the Underwriters the number of Additional Shares specified in such notice and (ii) the Underwriters shall purchase that portion of the total number of Additional Shares.
Extension Options Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.6.1, Borrower shall have the option (the “First Extension Option”), by irrevocable written notice (the “First Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date, to extend the Maturity Date to August 31, 2022 (the “First Extended Maturity Date”). Borrower’s right to so extend the Maturity Date shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent prior to the effectiveness of any such extension:
(a) (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date Borrower delivers the First Extension Notice or the Second Extension Notice, as applicable, and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Stated Maturity Date and the First Extended Maturity Date, as applicable;
(b) All amounts due and payable by Borrower and any other Person pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as of the Stated Maturity Date or the First Maturity Date, as applicable, and all costs and expenses of Lender, including fees and expenses of Lender’s counsel, in connection with the Loan and/or the extension shall have been paid in full;
(c) Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to Lender (i) certifying that all representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement remain true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the commencement of the applicable Extension Option, and (ii) waiving any claims, counterclaims, rights of rescission, set-offs or defenses, known or unknown, against Lender as of the commencement of the applicable Extension Option. If Borrower is unable to satisfy all of the foregoing conditions within the applicable time frames for each, Lender shall have no obligation to extend the Stated Maturity Date hereunder.
