Top-Up Option (a) The Company hereby grants to Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), exercisable only on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.10, to purchase at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) the last reported sale price of a Share on The Nasdaq Stock Market on the last trading day prior to the date on which the Top-Up Option is exercised or (ii) the Closing Amount, newly issued Shares (the “Top-Up Shares”) so that, when added to the number of Shares owned by Sub prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option, Sub will own at least ninety percent (90%) of the Shares outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Shares (not including in the Shares owned by Sub any Shares tendered pursuant to unfulfilled guaranteed delivery procedures); provided, however, that (i) the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable for a number of Shares in excess of the Shares authorized and unissued at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option and (ii) the Top-Up Option may not be exercised unless, following the Acceptance Time or after a subsequent offering period, seventy percent (70%) or more of the Shares shall be owned by Sub. The Top-Up Option shall be exercisable once at any time following the Acceptance Time and prior to the earlier to occur of (A) the Effective Time and (B) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Sub may assign the Top-Up Option and its rights and obligations pursuant to this Section 1.10, in its sole discretion, to Parent.
(b) The parties shall cooperate to ensure that the issuance and delivery of the Top-Up Shares complies with all applicable Laws, including compliance with an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. If Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Sub shall give the Company written notice, specifying (i) the number of Shares owned by Sub, (ii) a place and a time for the closing of such purchase and (iii) the manner in which Sub intends to pay the applicable purchase price. The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, deliver written notice to Sub specifying, based on the information provided by Sub in its notice, the number of Top-Up Shares. Prior to the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, upon Sub’s request, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to certify in writing to Sub the number of Shares issued and outstanding (A) as of immediately prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option and (B) after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Shares.
(c) The aggregate purchase price payable for the Top-Up Shares may be paid, at Sub’s option, (i) in cash, (ii) by executing and delivering to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the balance of the remaining aggregate purchase price, or (iii) a combination thereof, provided that Sub shall use cash for at least the aggregate par value of the Top-Up Shares. The Company Board has approved such consideration for the Top-Up Shares. Any such promissory note shall include the following terms: (1) the maturity date shall be one (1) year after issuance, (2) the unpaid principal amount of the promissory note shall accrue simple interest at a per annum rate of 3.00% and (3) the promissory note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, without penalty or prior notice.
(d) Parent and Sub acknowledge that the Shares that Sub may acquire upon exercise of the Top-Up Option shall not be registered under the Securities Act and shall be issued in reliance upon an exemption for transactions not involving a public offering. Sub agrees that the Top-Up Option, and the Top-Up Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, if any, are being and shall be acquired by Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act).
(e) The obligation of the Company to deliver Top-Up Shares upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option is subject to the conditions that (i) no provision of any applicable Law and no judgment, injunction, order or decree shall prohibit the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the delivery of the Top-Up Shares in respect of such exercise, (ii) due to the exercise of the Top-Up Option, the number of Shares owned by Parent, Sub and their Affiliates will constitute more than ninety percent (90%) of the number of Shares that will be outstanding on a fully-diluted basis immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Shares, and (iii) Sub has accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn.
Our Option If we give you written notice within 30 days after we receive your signed, sworn proof of loss, we may repair or replace any part of the damaged property with material or property of like kind and quality.
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.
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.
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.
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”).
Over Allotment Option On the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants herein and subject to the conditions herein,
(i) the Underwriter is hereby granted an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase, in the aggregate, up to [●] additional shares of Common Stock and/or Pre-funded Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, representing 15.0% of the Closing Units sold in the offering from the Company (the “Option Shares” or “Option Pre-funded Warrants,” as applicable) and up to [●] additional Warrants to purchase an aggregate of an additional [●] shares of Common Stock, representing 15.0% of the Closing Units sold in the offering from the Company (the “Option Warrants”).

The Closing Units and the Option Securities are referred to collectively as the “Securities”, and the Securities and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants and the Warrants (the “Underlying Shares”) are referred to collectively as the “Public Securities”. The Public Securities shall be issued directly by the Company and shall have the rights and privileges described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The certificate (the “Pre-funded Warrant Certificate”) evidencing the Closing Pre-funded Warrants and the Option Pre-funded Warrants, if any, will be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit [●]. The offering and sale of the Public Securities is herein referred to as the “Offering.”
(ii) Upon an exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and subject to the terms and conditions herein, the Company agrees to issue and sell the Option Securities to the Underwriter;
(iii) The Underwriter may exercise the Over-Allotment Option at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, on or before the forty-fifth (45th) day following the date of the Final Prospectus, by written notice from the Underwriter to the Company (the “Over-Allotment Exercise Notice”). The Underwriter must give the Over-Allotment Exercise Notice to the Company at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date or the applicable Additional Closing Date, as the case may be. The Underwriter may cancel any exercise of the Over-Allotment Option at any time prior to the Closing Date or the applicable Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, by giving written notice of such cancellation to the Company.

(A) the aggregate number of Option Securities as to which the Over-Allotment Option is being exercised;
(B) the purchase price for the Option Securities;
(C) the names and denominations in which the Option Securities are to be registered; and

(v) Payment for the Option Securities (the “Option Securities Payment”) shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Company to the Underwriter at the offices of Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, P.C. at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date specified in the corresponding Over-Allotment Exercise Notice, or at such other place on the same or such other date and time, not later than the fifth business day thereafter, as the Underwriter and the Company may agree upon in writing (an “Additional Closing Date”). The Option Securities Payment shall be made against delivery to the Underwriter for the respective accounts of the Underwriter of the Option Securities to be purchased on any Additional Closing Date, with any transfer taxes, stamp duties and other similar taxes payable in connection with the sale of the Option Securities duly paid by the Company.
(vi) As additional compensation for the Underwriter’s services, the Company shall issue to the Underwriter or its designees at the closing of the Offering warrants (the “Underwriter’s Warrant”) to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to 4.0% of the aggregate number of Closing Shares sold in the Offering.

The Underwriter’s Warrant and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof are sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Underwriter’s Securities.” The Underwriter understands and agrees that there are restrictions pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 against transferring the Underwriter’s Securities during the 180-day period after the commencement of sales of the Closing Shares in the Offering and by its acceptance thereof shall agree that it and its respective designees, if any, will not, sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate their respective Underwriter’s Securities, or any portion thereof, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of such securities for a period of 180 days following the commencement of sales of the public offering to anyone other than (A) an underwriter or a selected dealer in connection with the Offering, or (B) a bona fide officer or partner of the Underwriter or of any such underwriter or selected dealer; and only if any such transferee agrees to the foregoing lock-up restrictions. Delivery of the executed Underwriter’s Warrant shall be made on the Closing Date and the Underwriter’s Warrant shall be issued in the name or names and in such authorized denominations as the Underwriter may request.
Vested Options On the next regularly scheduled payroll date of the Surviving Corporation occurring more than five (5) Business Days but less than twenty (20) Business Days following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall pay to each holder of a Vested Option (other than with respect to Non-Withholding Options) for whom Acquiror has received a duly executed Option Termination Agreement an amount in cash equal to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Vested Option multiplied by an amount equal to the difference between (a) the Per Share Closing Consideration, minus (b) the exercise price per share under such Vested Option, minus (c) such holder’s applicable Percentage of the Escrow Amount in respect of such Vested Option (the “Closing Options Payout Amount”). Following the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall cause the applicable Closing Options Payout Amount to be paid to each holder of a Vested Option which is a Non-Withholding Option for whom Acquiror has received a duly executed Option Termination Agreement.

In the event of a conflict between the Payment Schedule and the provisions of this Agreement, the Payment Schedule shall control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended as of the date hereof) (the “Restated Certificate”), Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Equityholder Representative and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on the Payment Schedule as conclusive evidence of amounts payable to the holders of Vested Options pursuant to this Agreement. Each holder of a Vested Option, subject to receipt of a duly executed Option Termination Agreement, shall be entitled to receive with respect to each Vested Option subject thereto, such holder’s Percentage of the Earnout Payments, as and when such payments are required to be made, which amount shall be paid on the same schedule and on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Stockholders generally.
