Payment of the Warrant Price may be in cash, certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, or wire transfer of funds to the Company’s account (or any combination of any of the foregoing) in the amount of the Warrant Price for each share being purchased.
Procedures for Exercise The manner of exercising the Stock Option herein granted shall be by written notice to the Secretary of the Company at the time the Stock Option, or part thereof, is to be exercised, and in any event prior to the expiration of the Stock Option. Such notice shall state the election to exercise the Stock Option, the number of shares of Stock to be purchased upon exercise, the form of payment to be used, and shall be signed by the person so exercising the Stock Option.
Steps for Exercise of Equity Interest Purchase Option Subject to the provisions of the laws and regulations of China, Party A may exercise the Equity Interest Purchase Option by issuing a written notice to Party B (the “Equity Interest Purchase Option Notice”), specifying: (a) Party A’s or the Designee’s decision to exercise the Equity Interest Purchase Option; (b) the portion of equity interests to be purchased by Party A or the Designee from Party B (the “Optioned Interests”); and (c) the date for purchasing the Optioned Interests or the date for transfer of the Optioned Interests.
Procedure for Exercise (a) The Option may be exercised with respect to that portion of the Option which is exercisable at any particular time (the “Vested Shares”), from time to time, in whole or in part (but for the purchase of whole shares only), by delivery of a written notice (the “Exercise Notice”) from the Optionee to the Company, which Exercise Notice shall:
(i) state that the Optionee elects to exercise the Option;
(ii) state the number of Vested Shares with respect to which the Optionee is exercising the Option;
(iii) in the event that the Option shall be exercised by the representative of the Optionee’s estate, include appropriate proof of the right of such Person to exercise the Option;
(iv) state the date upon which the Optionee desires to consummate the purchase of such Vested Shares (which date must be prior to the termination of the Option); and
(v) comply with such further provisions as the Company may reasonably require.
(b) Payment of the Exercise Price for the Vested Shares to be purchased on the exercise of the Option shall be made by (i) certified or bank cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company, or if determined by the Administrator at the time of exercise, in its sole discretion, in (ii) the form of Shares already owned by the Optionee which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, or (iii) authorization for the Company to withhold a number of shares otherwise payable pursuant to the exercise of an Option having a Fair Market Value less than or equal to the aggregate Exercise Price, or (iv) any other form of consideration approved by the Administrator and permitted by applicable law or (v) any combination of the foregoing.
(c) As a condition of delivery of the Vested Shares, the Company shall have the right to require the Optionee to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements related thereto. The Company in its sole discretion may permit the Optionee to satisfy the foregoing requirement by electing to have the Company withhold from delivery Shares or by delivering already owned unrestricted Shares, in each case, having a value equal to the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld. Such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date as of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.
Registration of Ordinary Shares Cashless Exercise at Companys Option Registration of the Ordinary Shares. The Company agrees that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days after the closing of its initial Business Combination, it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within sixty (60) Business Days following the closing of its initial Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration or redemption of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If any such registration statement has not been declared effective by the sixtieth (60th) Business Day following the closing of the Business Combination, holders of the Warrants shall have the right, during the period beginning on the sixty-first (61st) Business Day after the closing of the Business Combination and ending upon such registration statement being declared effective by the Commission, and during any other period when the Company shall fail to have maintained an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis,” by exchanging the Warrants (in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption) for that number of Ordinary Shares equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “Fair Market Value” (as defined below) less the Warrant Price by (y) the Fair Market Value and (B) 0.361. Solely for purposes of this subsection 7.4.1, “
Method of Exercise of Warrants (1) The registered holder of any Warrant may exercise the rights thereby conferred on him to acquire all or any part of the Warrant Shares to which such Warrant entitles the holder, by surrendering the Warrant Certificate representing such Warrants to the Warrant Agent at any time prior to the Time of Expiry at its principal office in the City of Vancouver, British Columbia (or at such additional place or places as may be decided by the Company from time to time with the approval of the Warrant Agent), with a duly completed and executed exercise form (the “Exercise Form”) of the registered holder or his executors, administrators or other legal representative or his attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in the form and manner satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, substantially in the form endorsed on the Warrant Certificate as Schedule “B”, specifying the number of Warrant Shares subscribed for together with a certified cheque, bank draft or money order in lawful money of Canada, payable to or to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares subscribed for. A Warrant Certificate with the duly completed and executed Exercise Form and payment of the Exercise Price shall be deemed to be surrendered only upon personal delivery thereof to or, if sent by mail or other means of transmission, upon actual receipt thereof by the Warrant Agent.
(2) The Exercise Form shall be signed by the Warrantholder, or his executors, or administrators or other legal representative or his attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in the form and manner satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, shall specify the person(s) in whose name such Warrant Shares are to be issued, the address(es) of such person(s) and the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to each person, if more than one is so specified. If any of the Warrant Shares subscribed for are to be issued to (a) person(s) other than the Warrantholder, the signatures set out in the Exercise Form shall be guaranteed by a Canadian Schedule I chartered bank or a medallion signature guarantee from a member of a recognized Signature Medallion Guarantee Program and (b) the Warrantholder shall pay to the Company or the Warrant Agent all applicable transfer or similar taxes and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver certificates evidencing Warrant Shares unless or until such Warrantholder shall have paid to the Company or the Warrant Agent on behalf of the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid or that no tax is due.
(3) If, at the time of exercise of the Warrants, in accordance with the provisions of subsections 4.1(1) or 4.1(4), there are any trading restrictions on the Warrant Shares pursuant to Securities Laws or stock exchange requirements, the Company shall, on the advice of counsel, endorse any certificates or book-entry positions representing the Warrant Shares to such effect. The Warrant Agent is entitled to assume compliance with all Securities Laws unless otherwise notified in writing by the Company.
(4) A Beneficial Owner of Uncertificated Warrant evidenced by a security entitlement in respect of Warrants in the Book-Based System who desires to exercise his Uncertificated Warrants, must do so by causing a CDS Participant to deliver to CDS (at its office in the City of Toronto), on behalf of the Beneficial Owner at any time prior to the Time of Expiry, a written notice of the Beneficial Owner’s intention to exercise Warrants (the “Exercise Notice”) in a manner acceptable to CDS. Forthwith upon receipt by CDS of such notice, as well as payment for the aggregate Exercise Price, CDS shall deliver to the Warrant Agent confirmation of its intention to exercise Warrants (the “Confirmation”) in a manner acceptable to the Warrant Agent, including by electronic means through the Book-Based System. The Beneficial Owner will initiate the electronic exercise through the Book-Based System, by way of the Confirmation and forward the aggregate Exercise Price electronically to the Warrant Agent and the Warrant Agent will execute the exercise by issuing to CDS through the Book-Based System the Warrant Shares to which the exercising Beneficial Owner is entitled pursuant to the exercise. Any expense associated with the preparation and delivery of Exercise Notices will be for the account of the Beneficial Owner exercising the Warrants and the Warrant Agent will execute the exercise by issuing to CDS through the Book-Based System the Warrant Shares to which the exercising Warrantholder is entitled pursuant to the exercise. Any expense associated with the exercise process will be for the account of the entitlement holder exercising the Warrants and/or the CDS Participant exercising the Warrants on its behalf. By causing a CDS Participant to deliver notice to CDS, a Beneficial Owner shall be deemed to have irrevocably surrendered his Warrants so exercised and appointed such CDS Participant to act as his or her exclusive settlement agent with respect to the exercise and the receipt of Warrant Shares in connection with the obligations arising from such exercise. Any notice which CDS determines to be incomplete, not in proper form or not duly executed shall for all purposes be void and of no effect and the exercise to which it relates shall be considered for all purposes not to have been exercised thereby. A failure by a CDS Participant to exercise or to give effect to the settlement thereof in accordance with the Beneficial Owner’s instructions will not give rise to any obligations or liability on the part of the Company or Warrant Agent to the CDS Participant or the Beneficial Owner. If the Exercise Form set forth in the Warrant Certificate shall have been amended, the Company shall cause the amended Exercise Form to be forwarded to all registered Warrantholders. Exercise Forms and Confirmations must be delivered to the Warrant Agent at any time during the Warrant Agent’s actual business hours on any Business Day prior to the Expiry Time. Any Exercise Form or Confirmations received by the Warrant Agent after business hours on any Business Day other than the Expiry Date will be deemed to have been received by the Warrant Agent on the next following Business Day. Any Warrant with respect to which a Confirmation or Exercise Form is not received by the Warrant Agent before the Expiry Time shall be deemed to have expired and become void and all rights with respect to such Warrants shall terminate and be cancelled.
Time and Manner of Exercise of Option (i) No portion of the option may be exercised more than five years from the respective vesting dates set forth in Sections 2(a), (b) and (c) hereof.
(ii) If Optionee's employment with the Company is terminated with "cause" pursuant to the terms of Optionee's Employment Agreement, dated as of November 21, 1996 (as amended), between Optionee and the Company (the "Employment Agreement"), the Optionee shall forfeit the right to exercise all non-vested options granted hereunder and payment for the exercise of all options which were vested on the date of such termination of employment shall be made to the Company in accordance with Section 3(b) hereof within the earlier of ten (10) days of such termination of employment or the date by which the vested options expire by the terms hereof.
(iii) If the Optionee dies, the options granted hereunder which have vested as of the Optionee's death may be exercised within one (1) year after the date of Optionee's death or prior to the date on which the vested option expires by its terms, whichever is earlier, by the estate of the Optionee, or by any person or persons whom Optionee shall have designated in writing in documents filed with the Company or, if no such designation has been made, by the person or persons to whom Optionee's rights hereunder shall have passed by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
(iv) Upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the transfer of a controlling equity interest (as hereinafter defined) in the Company, all outstanding options shall automatically vest and shall be exercisable on the closing date of such transaction. Written notice of not less than twenty (20) days shall be given by the Company to the Optionee of the anticipated closing date of any such transaction. If such closing date changes, the Company shall provide written notice of the new closing date as soon as practicable to the Optionee. Any options not so exercised by the Optionee shall be null and void if not exercised on such closing date. As used herein, the term "controlling equity interest" shall mean the ability of any person, entity or group to direct the management and policies of the Company.
Duration and Exercise of Warrants (a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder on any business day before 5:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) at any time and from time to time on or after January 27, 2006 to and including the Expiration Date. At 5:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall expire and become void and of no value. Prior to the Expiration Date, the Company may not call or otherwise redeem this Warrant.
(b) Subject to Section 10, upon delivery of an executed Form of Election to Purchase, together with the grid attached hereto as Annex A duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address for notice set forth in Section 12 and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, in the manner provided hereunder, all as specified by the Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 5 business days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, which may bear a restrictive legend as set forth in Section 7. To effect an exercise hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless all the Warrant Shares have been exercised. Exercises hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the number of Warrant Shares in an amount equal to the applicable exercise, which shall be evidenced by entries set forth on the attached Annex A. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares exercised and the date of such exercises. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following exercise of a portion of this Warrant, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
Redemption of Warrants for Ordinary Shares Subject to Section 6.6 hereof, not less than all of the outstanding Warrants may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, at any time during the Exercise Period, at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon notice to the Registered Holders of the Warrants, as described in Section 6.4 below, at a Redemption Price of $0.10 per Warrant, provided that (i) the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (subject to adjustment in compliance with Section 4 hereof) and (ii) if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (subject to adjustment in compliance with Section 4 hereof), the Private Placement Warrants are also concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants. During the 30-day Redemption Period in connection with a redemption pursuant to this Section 6.2, Registered Holders of the Warrants may elect to exercise their Warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 3.3.1 and receive a number of Ordinary Shares determined by reference to the table below, based on the Redemption Date (calculated for purposes of the table as the period to expiration of the Warrants) and the “Redemption Fair Market Value” (as such term is defined in this Section 6.2) (a “Make-Whole Exercise”). Solely for purposes of this Section 6.2, the “Redemption Fair Market Value” shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares during the ten (10) trading days immediately following the date on which notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 6.2 is sent to the Registered Holders. In connection with any redemption pursuant to this Section 6.2, the Company shall provide the Registered Holders with the Redemption Fair Market Value no later than one (1) Business Day after the ten (10) trading day period described above ends. 60 months 0.261 0.281 0.297 0.311 0.324 0.337 0.348 0.358 0.361 57 months 0.257 0.277 0.294 0.310 0.324 0.337 0.348 0.358 0.361 54 months 0.252 0.272 0.291 0.307 0.322 0.335 0.347 0.357 0.361 51 months 0.246 0.268 0.287 0.304 0.320 0.333 0.346 0.357 0.361 48 months 0.241 0.263 0.283 0.301 0.317 0.332 0.344 0.356 0.361 45 months 0.235 0.258 0.279 0.298 0.315 0.330 0.343 0.356 0.361 42 months 0.228 0.252 0.274 0.294 0.312 0.328 0.342 0.355 0.361 39 months 0.221 0.246 0.269 0.290 0.309 0.325 0.340 0.354 0.361 36 months 0.213 0.239 0.263 0.285 0.305 0.323 0.339 0.353 0.361 33 months 0.205 0.232 0.257 0.280 0.301 0.320 0.337 0.352 0.361 30 months 0.196 0.224 0.250 0.274 0.297 0.316 0.335 0.351 0.361 27 months 0.185 0.214 0.242 0.268 0.291 0.313 0.332 0.350 0.361 24 months 0.173 0.204 0.233 0.260 0.285 0.308 0.329 0.348 0.361 21 months 0.161 0.193 0.223 0.252 0.279 0.304 0.326 0.347 0.361 18 months 0.146 0.179 0.211 0.242 0.271 0.298 0.322 0.345 0.361 15 months 0.130 0.164 0.197 0.230 0.262 0.291 0.317 0.342 0.361 12 months 0.111 0.146 0.181 0.216 0.250 0.282 0.312 0.339 0.361 9 months 0.090 0.125 0.162 0.199 0.237 0.272 0.305 0.336 0.361 6 months 0.065 0.099 0.137 0.178 0.219 0.259 0.296 0.331 0.361 3 months 0.034 0.065 0.104 0.150 0.197 0.243 0.286 0.326 0.361 0 months — — 0.042 0.115 0.179 0.233 0.281 0.323 0.361 The exact Redemption Fair Market Value and Redemption Date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the Redemption Fair Market Value is between two values in the table or the Redemption Date is between two redemption dates in the table, the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued for each Warrant exercised in a Make-Whole Exercise shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower Redemption Fair Market Values and the earlier and later redemption dates, as applicable, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable.
Right to Convert Warrant Into Stock Net Issuance (i) In addition to and without limiting the rights of the holder under the terms of this Warrant, the holder may elect to convert this Warrant or any portion thereof (the "Conversion Right") into shares of Common Stock, the aggregate value of which shares shall be equal to the value of this Warrant or the portion thereof being converted. The Conversion Right may be exercised by the holder by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of the holder's intention to exercise the Conversion Right, in which event the Company shall issue to the holder a number of shares of the Company's Common Stock computed using the following formula: X= Y(A-B) ------ A Where: X The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder. Y The number of shares of Common Stock representing the portion of this Warrant that is being converted. A The fair market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock. B The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations).
(ii) For purposes of this Section 2(b), the "fair market value" per share of the Company's Common Stock shall mean, the average daily Market Price (as defined below) during the period of the most recent 20 days, ending on the last business day before the effective date of exercise of the Conversion Right, on which the national securities exchanges were open for trading, except that if no class of the Common Stock is then listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or quoted in the over-counter market, the fair market value shall be the Market Price on the last business day before the effective date of exercise of the Conversion Right. If the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such an exchange, or is listed on the National Market System (the "National Market System") of the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System (the "NASDAQ"), the Market Price as of a specified day shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange or on the National Market System on such date or if no such sale is made on such day, the mean of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange or on the National Market System. If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, the Market Price as of a specified day shall be the mean of the last bid and asked prices reported on such date (x) by the NASDAQ or (y) if reports are unavailable under clause (x) above by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated. If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges and bid and ask prices are not reported, the Market Price as of a specified day shall be determined in good faith by written resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company.
