Method of Exercise and Payment for Shares This option shall be exercised by written notice delivered to the Company at its principal office, specifying the number of shares to be acquired upon such exercise, and accompanied by cash payment of the exercise price.
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.
Method of Exercise and Payment Subject to Section 8 hereof, to the extent that the Option has become vested and exercisable with respect to a number of shares of Common Stock as provided herein, the Option may thereafter be exercised by the Participant, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to the expiration of the Option as provided herein and in accordance with Sections 6.4(c) and 6.4(d) of the Plan, including, without limitation, by the filing of any written form of exercise notice as may be required by the Committee and payment in full of the Per Share Exercise Price specified above multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the portion of the Option exercised.
Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Shares Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (including, if the Offer is extended, amended or supplemented, the terms and conditions of any such extension, amendment or supplement), the Purchaser will accept for payment and will purchase all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn on or prior to the Expiration Date as soon as practicable after the later to occur of (i) the Expiration Date and (ii) the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Offer set forth in Section 10. In any case, payment for Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Depositary of (a) certificates for such Shares or timely confirmation (a "Book-Entry Confirmation") of the book-entry transfer of such Shares into the Depositary's account at The Depository Trust Company or the Philadelphia Depository Trust Company (collectively, the "Book-Entry Transfer Facilities"), pursuant to the procedures described herein, (b) the Letter of Transmittal (or a facsimile thereof), properly completed and duly executed, and (c) any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal. In addition, the Purchaser expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to delay the acceptance of payment of, or payment for, Shares in order to comply in whole or in part with any applicable law. Any such delays will be effected in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, which requires that a person who makes a tender offer pay the consideration offered or return tendered securities promptly after the termination or withdrawal of a tender offer. The Purchaser believes that the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "HSR Act") are not applicable to the Purchaser's purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer. However, if the HSR Act were deemed to be applicable to the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer, the consummation of the Offer could be delayed pending compliance therewith. For purposes of the Offer, the Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted for payment, and thereby purchased, Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date as, if and when the Purchaser gives oral or written notice to the Depositary of the Purchaser's acceptance of such Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer. In all cases, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, payment for Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer will be made by deposit of the purchase price therefor with the Depositary, which will act as agent for tendering stockholders for the purpose of receiving payment from the Purchaser and transmitting payment to validly tendering stockholders. Under no circumstances will interest on the purchase price for Shares be paid by the Purchaser by reason of any delay in making such payment. If, for any reason whatsoever, acceptance for payment of or payment for any Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer is delayed, or the Purchaser is unable to accept for payment or pay for Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, then, without prejudice to the Purchaser and subject to Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, retain tendered Shares and such Shares may not be withdrawn except to the extent that the tendering stockholder is entitled to and duly exercises withdrawal rights as described herein. If any tendered Shares are not accepted for payment or purchased pursuant to the Offer for any reason, or if certificates are submitted evidencing more Shares than are tendered, certificates for such unpurchased or untendered Shares will be returned, without expense to the tendering stockholder (or, in the case of Shares delivered by book-entry transfer into the Depositary's account at a Book-Entry Transfer Facility, such Shares will be credited to an account maintained within such Book-Entry Transfer Facility) as promptly as practicable following the expiration, termination or withdrawal of the Offer. If, on or prior to the Expiration Date, the Purchaser increases the consideration offered to stockholders pursuant to the Offer, such increased consideration would be paid to all holders of Shares that are purchased pursuant to the Offer, whether or not such Shares were tendered prior to such increase in consideration. Procedures for Accepting the Offer and Tendering Shares.
Exercise and Payment A registered holder may exercise a Warrant by delivering, not later than 5:00 P.M., New York time, on any business day during the Exercise Period (the “Exercise Date”) to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust department (i) the Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants to be exercised, or, in the case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, the Warrants to be exercised (the “Book-Entry Warrants”) shown on the records of the Depository to an account of the Warrant Agent at the Depository designated for such purpose in writing by the Warrant Agent to the Depository from time to time, (ii) an election to purchase the Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants to be exercised (“Election to Purchase”), properly completed and executed by the registered holder on the reverse of the Warrant Certificate or, in the case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, properly delivered by the Participant in accordance with the Depository’s procedures, and (iii) the Warrant Price for each Warrant to be exercised in lawful money of the United States of America by certified or official bank check or by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds. If any of (A) the Warrant Certificate or the Book-Entry Warrants, (B) the Election to Purchase, or (C) the Warrant Price therefor, is received by the Warrant Agent after 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the specified Exercise Date, the Warrants will be deemed to be received and exercised on the business day next succeeding the Exercise Date. If the date specified as the Exercise Date is not a business day, the Warrants will be deemed to be received and exercised on the next succeeding day that is a business day. If the Warrants are received or deemed to be received after the Expiration Date, the exercise thereof will be null and void and any funds delivered to the Warrant Agent will be returned to the registered holder or Participant, as the case may be, as soon as practicable. In no event will interest accrue on funds deposited with the Warrant Agent in respect of an exercise or attempted exercise of Warrants. The validity of any exercise of Warrants will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion and such determination will be final and binding upon the registered holder or Participant, as applicable, and the Warrant Agent. Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall have any obligation to inform a registered holder or the Participant, as applicable, of the invalidity of any exercise of Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall deposit all funds received by it in payment of the Warrant Price in the account of the Company maintained with the Warrant Agent for such purpose and shall advise the Company via telephone at the end of each day on which funds for the exercise of the Warrants are received of the amount so deposited to its account. The Warrant Agent shall promptly confirm such telephonic advice to the Company in writing.
Payment for Shares Purchaser shall make available or cause to ------------------ be made available to the paying agent appointed by Purchaser with the Company's prior approval (the "Paying Agent") amounts sufficient in the aggregate to ------------ provide all funds necessary for the Paying Agent to make payments pursuant to Section 5.1(a) hereof to holders of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record (other than any of the Purchaser Companies) of Shares a form (mutually agreed to by Purchaser and the Company) of letter of transmittal and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the certificates which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented any of such Shares in exchange for payment therefor. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of such certificates, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the Surviving Corporation shall promptly cause to be paid to the persons entitled thereto a check in the amount to which such persons are entitled, after giving effect to any required tax withholdings. No interest will be paid or will accrue on the amount payable upon the surrender of any such certificate. If payment is to be made to a person other than the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, it shall be a condition of such payment that the certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of the certificate surrendered or establish to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. One hundred and eighty days following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to cause the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) made available to the Paying Agent which have not been disbursed to holders of certificates formerly representing Shares outstanding on the Effective Time, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation only as general creditors thereof with respect to the cash payable upon due surrender of their certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Paying Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to any holder of certificates formerly representing Shares for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, in connection with the exchange of cash for Shares and Purchaser shall reimburse the Surviving Corporation for such charges and expenses.
Manner of Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares Subject to the provisions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant, together with a completed exercise agreement in the form attached hereto (the "Exercise Agreement"), to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at the Company's principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), and upon (i) payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer for the account of the Company of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement or (ii) if the resale of the Warrant Shares by the holder is not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), delivery to the Company of a written notice of an election to effect a "Cashless Exercise" (as defined in Section 11(c) below) for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof or such holder's designee, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered, and payment shall have been made for such shares as set forth above. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) business days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the holder hereof and shall be registered in the name of such holder or such other name as shall be designated by such holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised. In addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, if the Company fails to deliver certificates for the Warrant Shares within three (3) business days after this Warrant is exercised, then the Company shall pay to the holder in cash a penalty (the "Penalty") equal to 2% of the number of Warrant Shares that the holder is entitled to multiplied by the Market Price (as hereinafter defined) for each day that the Company fails to deliver certificates for the Warrant Shares. For example, if the holder is entitled to 100,000 Warrant Shares and the Market Price is $2.00, then the Company shall pay to the holder $4,000 for each day that the Company fails to deliver certificates for the Warrant Shares. The Penalty shall be paid to the holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, in no event shall the holder of this Warrant be entitled to exercise a number of Warrants (or portions thereof) in excess of the number of Warrants (or portions thereof) upon exercise of which the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised Warrants and the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including the Notes (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein) and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (or portions thereof) with respect to which the determination described herein is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of more than 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (i) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the limitation on exercise of this Warrant set forth herein may not be amended without (i) the written consent of the holder hereof and the Company and (ii) the approval of a majority of shareholders of the Company.
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.
