Stock Options and Warrants At the Effective Time of the Merger, each outstanding option to purchase Company Common Stock (each, a "Company Stock Option"), whether or not granted under the Company Option Plan, and all outstanding warrants to purchase Company Common Stock the outstanding whether or not vested, shall by virtue of the Merger be assumed by Parent. Each Company Stock Option and Warrant so assumed by Parent under this Agreement will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such options immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger (including, without limitation, any repurchase rights or vesting provisions and provisions regarding the acceleration of vesting on certain transactions), except that (i) each Company Stock Option and Warrant will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of Company Shares that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Stock Option or Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock if the said product is equal to or less than the fraction of one-half (.5) of one Parent Common Stock or rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock if the said product is greater than the fraction of one-half (.5) of one Parent Common Stock, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Company Stock Option and Warrant will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per Company Share at which such Company Stock Option and Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Parent shall comply with the terms of all such Company Stock Options and Warrants and use its best efforts to ensure, to the extent required by, and subject to the provisions of, the Company Option Plan and permitted under the Code or other relevant laws and regulations that any Company Stock Option that qualified for tax treatment under Section 424(b) of the Code prior to the Effective Time of the Merger continue to so qualify after the Effective Time of the Merger. Parent shall take all corporate actions necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of all Company Stock Options and Warrants on the terms set forth in this Section 2.03(b).
Purchase of Shares of Common Stock (a) Each Purchase Contract shall, unless an Early Settlement has occurred in accordance with Section 5.9, or a Merger Early Settlement has occurred in accordance with Section 5.10, obligate the Holder of the related Unit to purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Stock Purchase Date at a price equal to $50 (the "Purchase Price"), a number of newly issued shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate unless, on or prior to the Stock Purchase Date, there shall have occurred a Termination Event with respect to the Unit of which such Purchase Contract is a part. The "Settlement Rate" is equal to,
(i) if the Applicable Market Value (as defined below) is greater than or equal to $21.08 (the "Threshold Appreciation Price"), 2.3719 shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract,
(ii) if the Applicable Market Value is less than the Threshold Appreciation Price, but is greater than $17.28, the number of shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract equal to the Stated Amount of the related Unit divided by the Applicable Market Value, and
(iii) if the Applicable Market Value is equal to or less than $17.28, 2.8935 shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract, in each case subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.6 (and in each case rounded upward or downward to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share). As provided in Section 5.12, no fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon settlement of Purchase Contracts.
(b) No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued by the Company with respect to the payment of Contract Adjustment Payments on the Stock Purchase Date. In lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable with respect to such payment of Contract Adjustment Payments, the Holder will be entitled to receive an amount in cash as provided in Section 5.12.
Reservation of Shares of Common Stock The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that shall be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement.
Options and Warrants (a) Immediately prior to the Closing, each outstanding option ("Target Options") exercisable into shares of Target Common Stock and each warrant ("Target Warrants") exercisable into shares of Target Common Stock whether vested or not vested, shall immediately become vested in full and either exercised by the holder thereof prior to Closing or be deemed assumed by Parent. In the event that any Target Options and Target Warrants are exercised by the holder thereof prior to or simultaneous with the Closing, all shares of Target Common Stock issued upon exercise thereof shall be converted into Parent Shares in accordance with Section 1.2(a)(iii) of the Merger Agreement.
(b) At and after the Effective Time:
(i) each Target Option and Target Warrant then outstanding shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire the number (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of shares of Parent Common Stock determined by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Target Common Stock subject to such Target Option or Target Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Exchange Ratio; and
(ii) the exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock subject to any Target Option or Target Warrant at and after the Effective Time shall be an amount (rounded down to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) equal to (x) the exercise price per share of Target Common Stock subject to such Target Option or Target Warrant prior to the Effective Time, divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio.
(c) Other than as provided in subsections (a) and (b) above, as of and after the Effective Time, each Target Option and Target Warrant then outstanding shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, but not limited to, the acceleration of exercisability or conversion, as applicable, as of the date of approval of the Merger by the shareholders of the Company), but giving effect to the Merger (it being understood that any performance criteria to which such Target Option, and or Target Warrant remains subject may be equitably adjusted by Parent to reflect the consummation of the Merger).
(d) Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Target Options and Target Warrants Notes after the Effective Time.
Registration of Shares of Common Stock The Company agrees that as soon as practicable after the closing of its initial Business Combination, it shall use its best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement for the registration, under the Act, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and it shall use its best efforts to take such action as is necessary to register or qualify for sale, in those states in which the Warrants were initially offered by the Company and in those states where holders of Warrants then reside, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to the extent an exemption is not available. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If any such registration statement has not been declared effective by the 90th day following the closing of the Business Combination, holders of the Warrants shall have the right, during the period beginning on the 91st day after the closing of the Business Combination and ending upon such registration statement being declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and during any other period when the Company shall fail to have maintained an effective registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis” as determined in accordance with Section 3.3.1(c). The Company shall provide the Warrant Agent with an opinion of counsel for the Company (which shall be an outside law firm with securities law experience) stating that (i) the exercise of the Warrants on a cashless basis in accordance with this Section 7.4 is not required to be registered under the Act and (ii) the shares of Common Stock issued upon such exercise will be freely tradable under U.S. federal securities laws by anyone who is not an affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act) of the Company and, accordingly, will not be required to bear a restrictive legend. For the avoidance of any doubt, unless and until all of the Warrants have been exercised on a cashless basis, the Company shall continue to be obligated to comply with its registration obligations under the first three sentences of this Section 7.4. The provisions of this Section 7.4 may not be modified, amended, or deleted without the prior written consent of the Representative.
Shares of Common Stock The Company shall have duly reserved the number of Underlying Shares required by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to be reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Debentures and the exercise of the Warrants;
Issuance of Shares of Common Stock As soon as practicable upon the occurrence of an Exchange Event, the Company shall direct holders of the Rights to return their Rights Certificates to the Rights Agent. Upon receipt of a valid Rights Certificate, the Company shall issue to the registered holder of such Right(s) 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 issue to such registered holder(s) a certificate or book-entry position for the such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Rights. The Company shall not issue fractional shares upon exchange of Rights. In the event that any holder would otherwise be entitled to any fractional share upon exchange of Rights, at the time of an Exchange Event, the Company will instruct the Right Agent how any such entitlement will be addressed. To the fullest extent permitted by the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation the Company reserves the right to deal with any such fractional entitlement at the relevant time in any manner permitted by the Act and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which would include the rounding down of any entitlement to receive shares of Common Stock to the nearest whole share (and in effect extinguishing any fractional entitlement), or the holder being entitled to hold any remaining fractional entitlement (without any share being issued) and to aggregate the same with any future fractional entitlement to receive shares in the Company until the holder is entitled to receive a whole number. Any rounding down and extinguishment may be done with or without any in lieu cash payment or other compensation being made to the holder of the relevant Rights, such that value received on exchange of the Rights may be considered less than the value that the holder would otherwise expect to receive.
PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to the Investor, and the Investor has the obligation to purchase from the Company, Purchase Shares as follows:
Monies and Shares of Common Stock to Be Held in Trust All monies and shares of Common Stock received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received. Money and shares of Common Stock held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money or shares of Common Stock received by it hereunder except as may be agreed from time to time by the Company and the Trustee.
Certification of Adjusted Exercise Price or Number of Shares of Common Stock Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted as provided in Section 11 or 13, the Company shall (a) promptly prepare a certificate setting forth the Exercise Price of each Warrant as so adjusted, and a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment, (b) promptly file with the Warrant Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Stock a copy of such certificate and (c) instruct the Warrant Agent to send a brief summary thereof to each Holder of a Warrant Certificate.
