Reservation of Shares; Listing; Payment of Taxes; etc (a) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issue upon exercise of Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall, at the time of delivery thereof, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, and that upon issuance such shares shall be listed on each securities exchange, if any, on which the other shares of outstanding Common Stock of the Company are then listed.
Issuance of Share Certificates Subject to the last sentence of this Section 8, upon receipt by the Company prior to expiration of the Option of a duly completed Notice of Exercise of Option accompanied by payment for the Shares being purchased pursuant to such Notice (and, with respect to any Option exercised pursuant to Section 9 hereof by someone other than the Optionee, accompanied in addition by proof satisfactory to the Committee of the right of such person to exercise the Option), the Company shall deliver to the Optionee, within thirty (30) days of such receipt, a certificate for the number of Shares so purchased. The Optionee shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares which are subject to the Option unless and until a certificate representing such Shares is issued to the Optionee. The Company shall not be required to issue any certificates for Shares upon the exercise of the Option prior to (i) obtaining any Consents which the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable, or (ii) the determination by the Committee, in its sole discretion, that no Consents need be obtained.
RESERVATION OF SHARES, ETC Prior to the issuance of any Warrants there shall have been reserved, and the Company shall at all times through the expiration date keep reserved, out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, a number of Shares sufficient to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrants, and the Transfer Agent for the Shares and every subsequent Transfer Agent for the Shares issuable upon the exercise of any of the rights of purchase aforesaid are hereby irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of authorized and unissued Shares as shall be requisite for such purpose. The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the Transfer Agent for the Shares and with every subsequent Transfer Agent for the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrants. The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to requisition from time to time from such Transfer Agent certificates required to honor outstanding Warrants that have been exercised. The Company will supply such Transfer Agent with duly executed certificates for such purpose and will itself provide or otherwise make available any cash which may be issuable as provided in Section 9 of this Agreement. All Warrants surrendered in the exercise of the rights thereby evidenced or surrendered for transfer, exchange or partial exercise shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent and shall thereafter be delivered to the Company.
Status of Shares; Limitation of Shareholder Liability Shares shall be deemed to be personal property giving Shareholders only the rights provided in this Declaration. Every Shareholder, by virtue of having acquired a Share, shall be held expressly to have assented to and agreed to be bound by the terms of this Declaration and to have become a party hereto. No Shareholder shall be personally liable for the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by, contracted for, or otherwise existing with respect to, the Trust or any Series. The death, incapacity, dissolution, termination or bankruptcy of a Shareholder during the existence of the Trust shall not operate to terminate the Trust, nor entitle the representative of any such Shareholder to an accounting or to take any action in court or elsewhere against the Trust or the Trustees, but entitles such representative only to the rights of such Shareholder under this Trust. Ownership of Shares shall not entitle the Shareholder to any title in or to the whole or any part of the Trust Property or right to call for a partition or division of the same or for an accounting, nor shall the ownership of Shares constitute the Shareholders as partners. Neither the Trust nor the Trustees shall have any power to bind any Shareholder personally or to demand payment from any Shareholder for anything, other than as agreed by the Shareholder. Shareholders shall have the same limitation of personal liability as is extended to shareholders of a private corporation for profit incorporated in the State of Delaware. Every written obligation of the Trust or any Series shall contain a statement to the effect that such obligation may only be enforced against the assets of the appropriate Series or all Series; however, the omission of such statement shall not operate to bind or create personal liability for any Shareholder or Trustee.
PRESERVATION OF PURCHASE RIGHTS UPON RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, ETC In case of any consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company into another entity or in case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of the property, assets or business of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company or such successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, shall execute with the Warrantholders an agreement that the Warrantholders shall have the right thereafter, upon exercise of the Warrants and payment of the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale, to purchase the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which it would have been entitled to receive after the happening of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance had the Warrants been exercised immediately prior thereto. In the event of a merger described in Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (or any successor provision), in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the right to purchase Shares under the Warrants shall terminate on the date of such merger and thereupon the Warrants shall become null and void, but only if the controlling corporation (after such event) shall agree to substitute for the Warrants its warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which it would have been entitled to receive had the Warrants been exercised immediately prior to such merger. Any such agreements referred to in this subsection 8.4 shall provide for adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section 8 hereof, and shall contain substantially the same terms, conditions and provisions as are contained herein immediately prior to such event. The provisions of this subsection 8.4 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.
Withdrawal of Shares and Cancellation of Certificates Upon receipt of Written Instructions, PFPC shall cancel outstanding certificates surrendered by the Fund to reduce the total amount of outstanding shares by the number of shares surrendered by the Fund.
Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive rights of any stockholder and free of all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that, during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise or conversion of the subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued Common Stock, or other securities and property, when and as required to provide for the exercise or conversion of the rights represented by this Warrant. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of the Company’s Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which the stock may be listed. The Company will not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Stock Purchase Price (as defined in Section 4 hereof) if the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable after such action upon exercise or conversion of all outstanding warrants, together with all shares then outstanding and all shares then issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock then authorized by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.
Tender of Shares (a) Stockholder hereby agrees to validly tender or cause to be tendered to Purchaser pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, not later than the fifth business day after commencement of the Offer pursuant to Article 1 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock Beneficially Owned by it as set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Existing Shares”), and not to withdraw the Existing Shares, or cause the Existing Shares to be withdrawn, from the Offer at any time (except following the termination or expiration of the Offer without Purchaser purchasing all shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer in accordance with its terms). If Stockholder acquires Beneficial Ownership of any outstanding shares of Company Common Stock after the date hereof and prior to the termination of this Agreement, whether upon the exercise of options, warrants or rights, the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities, or by means of purchase, dividend, distribution or otherwise (together with the Existing Shares, the “Shares”), Stockholder shall validly tender such Shares or cause such Shares to be tendered to Purchaser pursuant to and in accordance with the Offer, not later than the fifth business day after commencement of the Offer pursuant to Article 1 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Rule 14d-2 of the Exchange Act or, if acquired later than such time, on or before the fifth business day after such acquisition, but in any event prior to the expiration date of the Offer, and not withdraw such Shares, or cause such Shares to be withdrawn, from the Offer at any time (except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement). Stockholder shall not withdraw any Shares so tendered unless this Agreement is terminated or otherwise terminates in accordance with its terms under Section 7 hereof or the Offer is terminated or has expired without Purchaser purchasing all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stockholder may decline to tender, or may withdraw, any and all of Stockholder’s Shares if, without the consent of Stockholder, Purchaser amends the Offer to (i) reduce the Offer Price for the Shares in the Offer, (ii) reduce the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Offer, (iii) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (iv) change the “Minimum Condition,” which requires the tender of 35% of the fully diluted shares of Company Common Stock, or (v) amend or modify any term or condition of the Offer in a manner adverse to Stockholder (other than insignificant changes or amendments or other than to waive any condition other than the Minimum Condition which the parties agree cannot be waived or reduced) (clauses (i) through (v) collectively are hereinafter referred to as a “Material Amendment”). A Stockholder shall give Purchaser at least two (2) business days’ prior notice of any withdrawal of its Shares pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso.
Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock Any shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock, and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Merger Sub, shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
Legend on Share Certificates Each certificate representing any Shares issued after the date hereof shall be endorsed by the Company with a legend reading substantially as follows: “THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A AMENDED AND RESTATED VOTING AGREEMENT, AS MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, (A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FROM THE COMPANY), AND BY ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES THE PERSON ACCEPTING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THAT VOTING AGREEMENT, INCLUDING CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP SET FORTH THEREIN.” The Company, by its execution of this Agreement, agrees that it will cause the certificates evidencing the Shares issued after the date hereof to bear the legend required by this Section 7.12, and it shall supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement to any holder of a certificate evidencing Shares upon written request from such holder to the Company at its principal office. The parties to this Agreement do hereby agree that the failure to cause the certificates evidencing the Shares to bear the legend required by this Section 7.12 and/or the failure of the Company to supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement as provided hereunder shall not affect the validity or enforcement of this Agreement.
