Option (a) In order to induce Parent and Purchaser to enter into the Merger Agreement, Stockholder hereby grants to Purchaser an irrevocable option (a "SECURITIES OPTION") to purchase the Securities (the "OPTION SECURITIES") at the Offer Price, subject to increase as set forth below (the "PURCHASE PRICE"). The Securities Option may be exercised, in whole but not in part, by written notice to Stockholder (as set forth below), for a period of ten (10) business days (the "10 DAY PERIOD") following termination of the Merger Agreement or termination of the Offer, whichever shall first occur; PROVIDED that, prior to such termination, either (i) a Trigger Event shall have occurred or (ii) (A) the Company shall have received a written proposal from any person other than Parent, Purchaser or any affiliate of Parent or Purchaser for an Acquisition Transaction, which proposal shall not have expired or been withdrawn, (B) the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(b), 8.01(d)(ii), 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) and (C) at the time of such termination the Minimum Condition shall not have been satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities Option may not be exercised until: (i) all waiting periods under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR ACT"), required for the purchase of the Securities upon such exercise shall have expired or been waived and any other conditions under the other Antitrust Laws shall have been satisfied and (ii) there shall not be in effect any preliminary injunction or other order issued by any Governmental Entity prohibiting the exercise of the Securities Option pursuant to this Agreement; provided that if (i) all HSR Act waiting periods shall not have expired or been terminated or (ii) there shall be in effect any such injunction or order, in each case on the expiration of the 10 Day Period, the 10 Day Period shall be extended until five (5) business days after the later of (A) the date of expiration or termination of all HSR Act waiting periods, and (B) the date of removal or lifting of such injunction or order.
(b) In the event that Purchaser wishes to exercise the Securities Option, Purchaser shall send a written notice (the "NOTICE") to Stockholder identifying the date (not less than two (2) nor more than five (5) business days from the date of the Notice) for the closing of such purchase, which closing shall be held at the executive offices of the Company (or such other place as the parties may agree). At the closing, Stockholder shall deliver to Purchaser appropriate and effective instruments of transfer of the Option Securities, against payment to Stockholder of the Purchase Price, in same day funds, by wire transfer to such account as Stockholder shall designate.
(c) In the event the Option Securities are acquired by Purchaser pursuant to the exercise of the Securities Option (the "ACQUIRED SECURITIES") and, either before or at any time within the one-year period following such acquisition, Parent, Purchaser or any affiliate of Parent or Purchaser shall acquire Common Stock (other than from the Company) at a price in excess of the Purchase Price, then the Purchase Price hereunder shall be increased to such higher price. If the purchase of the Acquired Securities has been completed at the time of such increase, Stockholder shall be entitled to receive, and Purchaser shall promptly (and in no event more than 48 hours following such increase) pay to Stockholder, by wire transfer of same day funds to such account as Stockholder shall designate, the amount of the increase.
(d) In the event the Option Securities are acquired by Purchaser pursuant to the exercise of the Securities Option, Stockholder shall be entitled to receive, and Purchaser shall promptly (and in no event more than 48 hours following such Sale) pay to Stockholder, upon any subsequent disposition, transfer or sale to an unaffiliated third party ("SALE") of all or any portion of the Acquired Securities within the one-year period following such acquisition, an amount per share in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the net proceeds received per share in the Sale over the Purchase Price. Any such payment shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds to such account as Stockholder shall designate.
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.
Option Rights Except as provided below, the Option shall be valid for a term commencing on the Grant Date and ending 10 years after the Grant Date (the "EXPIRATION DATE").
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”).
Options (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) below with respect to the Company's 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the "Company ESPP"), at the Effective Time, each then outstanding and unexercised option (the "Company Options") exercisable for shares of Company Stock shall become fully vested and exercisable (by virtue of their terms) and Purchaser shall cause each holder of a Company Option to receive, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, options exercisable for shares of Purchaser Stock ("Purchaser Replacement Options") having the same terms and conditions as the Company Options (including such terms and conditions as may be incorporated by reference into the agreements evidencing the Company Options pursuant to the plans or arrangements pursuant to which such Company Options were granted) except that the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise shall be divided and multiplied, respectively, by the Conversion Fraction, and rounded to the nearest whole cent or number, respectively. Purchaser shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that any Company Options that qualified as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") prior to the Effective Time continue to so qualify after the Effective Time. Purchaser shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Purchaser Stock for delivery upon the exercise of Purchaser Replacement Options after the Effective Time. Promptly after the Effective Time, Purchaser shall file or cause to be filed all registration statements on Form S-8 or other appropriate form as may be necessary in connection with the purchase and sale of Purchaser Stock contemplated by such Purchaser Replacement Options subsequent to the Effective Time, and shall maintain the effectiveness of such registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as any of the Purchaser Replacement Options registered thereunder remain outstanding. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Purchaser shall qualify under applicable state securities laws the issuance of such shares of Purchaser Stock issuable upon exercise of Purchaser Replacement Options. Purchaser's Board of Directors shall take all actions necessary on the part of Purchaser to enable the acquisition of Purchaser Stock, Purchaser Replacement Options and subsequent transactions in Purchaser Stock after the Effective Time pursuant to Purchaser Replacement Options by persons subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act (as defined below) to be exempt from the application of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act, to the extent permitted thereunder.
(b) The current offerings in process as of the date of this Agreement under the Company ESPP shall continue, and Company Shares shall be issued to participants thereunder on the next currently scheduled purchase dates thereunder occurring after the date hereof as provided under, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Company ESPP. The Company may, consistent with past practice, commence new offering periods under the Company ESPP on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time at an exercise price for each such offering not less than as is required under the Company ESPP. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, pursuant to the Company ESPP, all offerings under the Company ESPP shall be terminated, and each participant shall be deemed to have purchased immediately prior to the Effective Time, to the extent of payroll deductions accumulated by such participant as of such offering period end, the number of whole shares of Company Stock at a per share price determined pursuant to the provisions of the Company ESPP, and each participant shall receive a cash payment equal to the balance, if any, of such accumulated payroll deductions remaining after such purchase of such shares. As of the Effective Time, each participant shall receive, by virtue of the Merger, the number of whole shares of Purchaser Stock or cash into which the shares of Company Stock such participant has so purchased under the Company ESPP have been converted pursuant to the Merger as provided in Section 1.3(a) hereof, plus the cash value of any fraction of a share of Purchaser Common Stock as provided in Section 1.5(h) hereof, plus any dividends or distributions as provided in Section 1.
Option Shares For the purposes of covering any over-allotments in connection with the distribution and sale of the Firm Shares, the Company hereby grants to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to [●] additional shares of Common Stock, representing fifteen percent (15%) of the Firm Shares sold in the offering, from the Company (the “Over-allotment Option”). Such [●] additional shares of Common Stock, the net proceeds of which will be deposited with the Company’s account, are hereinafter referred to as “Option Shares.” The purchase price to be paid per Option Share shall be equal to the price per Firm Share set forth in Section 1.1.1 hereof. The Firm Shares and the Option Shares are hereinafter referred to together as the “Public Securities.” The offering and sale of the Public Securities is hereinafter referred to as the “Offering.”
Company Stock Options (a) At the Effective Time, Parent shall assume, by virtue of this Agreement and without any further action on the part of the Company, all of the Company's obligations with respect to each outstanding Company Stock Option, whether vested or unvested. Unless otherwise elected by Parent prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall make such assumption in such manner that Parent (i) is a corporation "assuming a stock option in a transaction to which Section 424(a) applies" within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code or (ii) to the extent that Section 424 of the Code does not apply to such Company Stock Option, would be such a corporation were Section 424 of the Code applicable to such Company Stock Option; and, if not so otherwise elected, after the Effective Time, all references to the Company in the Company Stock Plans and the applicable Company Stock Option agreements shall be deemed to refer to Parent, which shall have assumed the Company Stock Plans as of the Effective Time by virtue of this Agreement and without any further action on the part of the Company or Parent. Each Company Stock Option so assumed by Parent under this Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Company Stock Plan and the applicable Company Stock Option as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.05. Parent shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that Company Stock Options intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code prior to the Effective Time continue to so qualify after the Effective Time.
(b) With respect to the Company Stock Plans, Parent shall take all corporate action necessary or appropriate to, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such plan to the extent such registration statement is required under applicable law in order for such shares of Parent Common Stock to be sold without restriction, and Parent shall use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such benefits and grants remain payable and such options under such plans remain outstanding.
Option Right Landlord hereby grants to the originally named Tenant herein (“Original Tenant”), and its “Permitted Assignees”, as that term is defined in Section 14.8, below, one (1) option to extend the Lease Term for a period of five (5) years (the “Option Term”), which option shall be irrevocably exercised only by written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord not more than twelve (12) months nor less than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term, provided that the following conditions (the “Option Conditions”) are satisfied: (i) as of the date of delivery of such notice, Tenant is not in default under this Lease, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period; (ii) Tenant has not previously been in default under this Lease, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, more than twice in the twelve (12) month period prior to the date of Tenant’s attempted exercise; and (iii) the Lease then remains in full force and effect. Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, exercised in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, waive any of the Option Conditions in which case the option, if otherwise properly exercised by Tenant, shall remain in full force and effect. Upon the proper exercise of such option to extend, and provided that Tenant satisfies all of the Option Conditions (except those, if any, which are waived by Landlord), the Lease Term, as it applies to the Premises, shall be extended for a period of five (5) years. The rights contained in this Section 2.2 shall be personal to Original Tenant and any Permitted Assignees, and may be exercised by Original Tenant or such Permitted Assignees (and not by any assignee, sublessee or other “Transferee,” as that term is defined in Section 14.1 of this Lease, of Tenant’s interest in this Lease).
Purchase Right Without prejudice to the enforcement of the Senior Secured Parties’ remedies, the Senior Secured Parties agree that following (a) the acceleration of the Senior Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement Loan Documents or (b) the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (each, a “Purchase Event”), within thirty (30) days of the Purchase Event, one or more of the Second Priority Debt Parties may request, and the Senior Secured Parties hereby offer the Second Priority Debt Parties the option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the aggregate amount of outstanding Senior Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase at par, plus any premium that would be applicable upon prepayment of the Senior Obligations and accrued and unpaid interest, fees, and expenses without warranty or representation or recourse (except for representations and warranties required to be made by assigning lenders pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption (as such term is defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement)). If such right is exercised, the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the request. If one or more of the Second Priority Debt Parties exercise such purchase right, it shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the Senior Representative and the Second Priority Representative, subject to any consent rights of the Borrowers under the First Lien Credit Agreement or any applicable Senior Debt Document. If none of the Second Priority Debt Parties exercise such right, the Senior Secured Parties shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 5.07 for such Purchase Event and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the Senior Debt Documents and this Agreement.
Anti-Dilution Rights (a) If at any time after the date hereof the Company declares or authorizes any dividend (other than a cash dividend), stock split, reverse stock split, combination, exchange of Shares, or there occurs any recapitalization, reclassification (including any consolidation or merger), sale or acquisition of property or stock, reorganization or liquidation, or if the outstanding Shares are changed into the same or a different number of Shares of the same or another class or classes of stock of the Company, then the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder shall, upon exercise of this Warrant following such event, be entitled to receive the number of shares of stock or other securities or the cash or property of the Company (or of the successor corporation or other entity resulting from any consolidation or merger) to which the Warrant Shares (and any other securities) deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to the earlier of (i) such event and (ii) the record date, if any, set for determining the stockholders entitled to participate in such event, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately so that the aggregate amount payable by the Holder upon the full exercise of this Warrant remains the same. The Company shall not effect any recapitalization, reclassification (including any consolidation or merger) unless, upon the consummation thereof, the successor corporation or entity shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver to the Holder the shares of stock, securities, cash or property that the Holder shall be entitled to acquire in accordance with the foregoing provisions, which instrument shall contain provisions calculated to ensure for the Holder, to the greatest extent practicable, the benefits provided for in this Warrant.
(b) If, pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph 7, the Holder would be entitled to receive shares of stock or other securities upon the exercise of this Warrant in addition to the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, then the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient shares of other securities to permit the Company to issue such additional shares or other securities upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(c) The Company shall at any time if so requested by the Holder furnish a written summary of all adjustments made pursuant to this paragraph 7 promptly following any such request.
