Method of Exercise Payment Issuance of New Warrant;
Manner of Exercise and Payment 5.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Option may be exercised by delivery of written notice to the Company, at its principal executive office. Such notice shall state that the Optionee is electing to exercise the Option and the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised and shall be signed by the person or persons exercising the Option. If requested by the Committee, such person or persons shall (i) deliver this Agreement to the Secretary of the Company who shall endorse thereon a notation of such exercise and (ii) provide satisfactory proof as to the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option.
5.2 The notice of exercise described in Section 5.1 shall be accompanied by the full purchase price for the Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, in cash, by check or by transferring Shares to the Company having a Fair Market Value on the day preceding the date of exercise equal to the cash amount for which such Shares are substituted.
5.3 Upon receipt of notice of exercise and full payment for the Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, the Company shall, subject to Section 17 of the Plan, take such action as may be necessary to effect the transfer to the Optionee of the number of Shares as to which such exercise was effective.
5.4 The Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to any Shares subject to the Option until (i) the Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Optionee shall have paid the full purchase price for the number of Shares in respect of which the Option was exercised, (ii) the Company shall have issued and delivered the Shares to the Optionee, and (iii) the Optionee's name shall have been entered as a stockholder of record on the books of the Company, whereupon the Optionee shall have full voting and other ownership rights with respect to such Shares.
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.
Stock Option Exercise Agreement To exercise this Option, Participant (or in the case of exercise after Participant’s death or incapacity, Participant’s executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) must deliver to the Company an executed stock option exercise agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, or in such other form as may be approved by the Committee from time to time (the “Exercise Agreement”), which shall set forth, inter alia, (i) Participant’s election to exercise the Option, (ii) the number of Shares being purchased, (iii) any restrictions imposed on the Shares and (iv) any representations, warranties and agreements regarding Participant’s investment intent and access to information as may be required by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws. If someone other than Participant exercises the Option, then such person must submit documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company verifying that such person has the legal right to exercise the Option and such person shall be subject to all of the restrictions contained herein as if such person were the Participant.
Method of Exercise Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Article 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check, wire transfer (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
Method of Exercising Option Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Option may be exercised by written notice to the Company or its designee, in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. Such notice shall state the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall be signed by the person exercising the Option. Payment of the purchase price for such Shares shall be made in accordance with Paragraph 9 of the Plan. The Company shall deliver such Shares as soon as practicable after the notice shall be received, provided, however, that the Company may delay issuance of such Shares until completion of any action or obtaining of any consent, which the Company deems necessary under any applicable law (including, without limitation, state securities or “blue sky” laws). The Shares as to which the Option shall have been so exercised shall be registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the person so exercising the Option (or, if the Option shall be exercised by the Participant and if the Participant shall so request in the notice exercising the Option, shall be registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Participant and another person jointly, with right of survivorship) and shall be delivered as provided above to or upon the written order of the person exercising the Option. In the event the Option shall be exercised, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, by any person other than the Participant, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person to exercise the Option. All Shares that shall be purchased upon the exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully paid and nonassessable.
Manner of Exercise of Option (a) To the extent that the right to exercise the Option has accrued and is in effect, the Option may be exercised in full or in part by giving written notice to the Company stating the number of Shares as to which the Option is being exercised and accompanied by payment in full for such Shares. No partial exercise may be made for less than one hundred (100) full Shares of Common Stock. Payment shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Upon such exercise, delivery of a certificate for paid-up, non- assessable Shares shall be made at the principal office of the Company to the person exercising the Option, not less than thirty (30) and not more than ninety (90) days from the date of receipt of the notice by the Company.
(b) The Company shall at all times during the term of the Option reserve and keep available such number of Shares of its Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Option.
Notice of Exercise of Option This Option may be exercised by the ---------------------------- Optionee, or by the Optionee's administrators, executors or personal representatives, by a written notice (in substantially the form of the Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Schedule B) signed by the Optionee, or by such administrators, executors or personal representatives, and delivered or mailed to the Company as specified in Section 14 hereof to the attention of the President or such other officer as the Company may designate. Any such notice shall (a) specify the number of shares of Stock which the Optionee or the Optionee's administrators, executors or personal representatives, as the case may be, then elects to purchase hereunder, (b) contain such information as may be reasonably required pursuant to Section 12 hereof, and (c) be accompanied by (i) a certified or cashier's check payable to the Company in payment of the total Exercise Price applicable to such shares as provided herein, (ii) shares of Stock owned by the Optionee and duly endorsed or accompanied by stock transfer powers having a Fair Market Value equal to the total Exercise Price applicable to such shares purchased hereunder, or (iii) a certified or cashier's check accompanied by the number of shares of Stock whose Fair Market Value when added to the amount of the check equals the total Exercise Price applicable to such shares purchased hereunder. Upon receipt of any such notice and accompanying payment, and subject to the terms hereof, the Company agrees to issue to the Optionee or the Optionee's administrators, executors or personal representatives, as the case may be, stock certificates for the number of shares specified in such notice registered in the name of the person exercising this Option.
Manner of Exercising Option (a) In order to exercise this option with respect to all or any part of the Option Shares for which this option is at the time exercisable, Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) must take the following actions:
(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.
(b) Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure is utilized in connection with the option exercise, payment of the Exercise Price must accompany the Notice of Exercise (or the Purchase Agreement) delivered to the Corporation in connection with the option exercise.
(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.
(d) In no event may this option be exercised for any fractional shares.
