Notice of Exercise of Option This Option may be exercised by the ---------------------------- Optionee, or by the Optionee's administrators, executors or personal representatives, by a written notice (in substantially the form of the Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Schedule B) signed by the Optionee, or by such administrators, executors or personal representatives, and delivered or mailed to the Company as specified in Section 14 hereof to the attention of the President or such other officer as the Company may designate. Any such notice shall (a) specify the number of shares of Stock which the Optionee or the Optionee's administrators, executors or personal representatives, as the case may be, then elects to purchase hereunder, (b) contain such information as may be reasonably required pursuant to Section 12 hereof, and (c) be accompanied by (i) a certified or cashier's check payable to the Company in payment of the total Exercise Price applicable to such shares as provided herein, (ii) shares of Stock owned by the Optionee and duly endorsed or accompanied by stock transfer powers having a Fair Market Value equal to the total Exercise Price applicable to such shares purchased hereunder, or (iii) a certified or cashier's check accompanied by the number of shares of Stock whose Fair Market Value when added to the amount of the check equals the total Exercise Price applicable to such shares purchased hereunder. Upon receipt of any such notice and accompanying payment, and subject to the terms hereof, the Company agrees to issue to the Optionee or the Optionee's administrators, executors or personal representatives, as the case may be, stock certificates for the number of shares specified in such notice registered in the name of the person exercising this Option.
Time of Exercise of Option The Optionee may exercise the option granted herein at any time after the effective date of this Agreement until the date of termination of the option as provided herein.
Manner of Exercise of Option (a) To the extent that the right to exercise the Option has accrued and is in effect, the Option may be exercised in full or in part by giving written notice to the Company stating the number of Shares as to which the Option is being exercised and accompanied by payment in full for such Shares. No partial exercise may be made for less than one hundred (100) full Shares of Common Stock. Payment shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Upon such exercise, delivery of a certificate for paid-up, non- assessable Shares shall be made at the principal office of the Company to the person exercising the Option, not less than thirty (30) and not more than ninety (90) days from the date of receipt of the notice by the Company.
(b) The Company shall at all times during the term of the Option reserve and keep available such number of Shares of its Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Option.
Right of Exercise Subject to the provisions hereof, each Registered Warrantholder may exercise the right conferred on such holder to subscribe for and purchase one (1) Common Share for each Warrant after the Issue Date and prior to the Expiry Time and in accordance with the conditions herein.
Timing of Exercise The Warrants shall be exercisable at any time in whole or in part from time to time commencing as of February 17, 2006 and expiring at 5:00 P.M., New York time, on February 16, 2011 (the “Expiration Date”), subject to earlier termination as provided herein, and may not be exercised thereafter.
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 stock transfer offices in the City of Calgary, Alberta (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 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 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) Any exercise form referred to in Section 3.1(1) 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, but such exercise form need not be executed by CDS. Such exercise form 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 person(s) other than the Warrantholder, the Warrantholder shall also complete the transfer form, substantially in the form endorsed on the Warrant Certificate. The signatures set out in the exercise form referred to in Section 3.1(1) and the signatures set out in the transfer form shall be guaranteed by a Canadian Schedule 1 chartered bank or a medallion signature guarantee from a member of a recognized Signature Medallion Guarantee Program and 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 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 Section 3.1(1), there are any trading restrictions on the Warrant Shares pursuant to applicable Securities Laws or stock exchange requirements, the Company shall, on the advice of counsel, endorse any certificates representing the Warrant Shares to such effect. The Warrant Agent is entitled to assume compliance with all applicable Securities Laws unless otherwise notified in writing by the Company.
(4) A Beneficial Owner who desires to exercise his, her or its Uncertificated Warrants, must do so by causing a Participant to deliver to CDS (at its office in the City of Toronto, Ontario), 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"); provided, that a Beneficial Owner holding Uncertificated Warrants that is in the United States or that is a U.S. Person will first request the withdrawal of the Uncertificated Warrant(s) from the Book-Entry Only System and request certificated Warrant(s) in exchange for such Uncertificated Warrant(s). Forthwith upon receipt by CDS of such notice, as well as payment for the 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-Entry Only System, including CDSX. An electronic exercise of the Warrants initiated by the Beneficial Owner through a Book-Entry Only System, including CDSX, shall constitute a representation to both the Company and the Warrant Agent that the Beneficial Owner at the time of exercise of such Warrants (a) is not in the United States; (b) did not acquire the Warrants in the United States or on behalf of, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person or a person in the United States; (c) is not a U.S. Person and is not exercising such Warrants on behalf of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States; and (d) did not execute or deliver the notice of the owner's intention to exercise such Warrants in the United States. If the Participant is not able to make or deliver the foregoing representation by initiating the electronic exercise of the Warrants, then such Warrants shall be withdrawn from the Book-Entry Only System, including CDSX, by the Participant and an individually registered Warrant Certificate shall be issued by the Warrant Agent to such Beneficial Owner or Participant and the exercise procedures set forth in Section 3.1(1) shall be followed. Payment representing the aggregate Exercise Price must be provided to the appropriate office of the Participant in a manner acceptable to it. A notice in form acceptable to the Participant and payment from such Beneficial Owner should be provided through the Book-Entry Only System sufficiently in advance so as to permit the Participant to deliver notice and payment to CDS and for CDS in turn to deliver notice and payment to the Warrant Agent prior to Time of Expiry. CDS will initiate the exercise 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- Entry Only 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.
(5) By causing a Participant to deliver notice to CDS, a Warrantholder shall be deemed to have irrevocably surrendered his, her or its Warrants so exercised and appointed such Participant to act as his, her or its exclusive settlement agent with respect to the exercise and the receipt of Warrant Shares in connection with the obligations arising from such exercise.
(6) 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 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 Participant or the Beneficial Owner.
(7) Any exercise referred to in this Section 3.1 shall require that the entire Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares subscribed for must be paid at the time of subscription and such Exercise Price and original Exercise Notice or exercise form executed by the Registered Warrantholder or the Confirmation from CDS must be received by the Warrant Agent prior to the Time of Expiry.
(8) Warrants may only be exercised pursuant to this Section 3.1 by or on behalf of a Warrantholder, as applicable, who makes the certifications set forth on the exercise form substantially in the form endorsed on the Warrant Certificate.
(9) 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.
(10) Exercise forms, Exercise Notices 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 Time of Expiry. Any exercise form, Exercise Notice or Confirmation received by the Warrant Agent after business hours on any Business Day other than the Time of Expiry will be deemed to have been received by the Warrant Agent on the next following Business Day.
(11) Any Warrant with respect to which a Confirmation is not received by the Warrant Agent before the Time of Expiry shall be deemed to have expired and become void and all rights with respect to such Warrants shall terminate and be cancelled.
Exercise of Conversion Right To exercise the conversion right, the Holder of the Debenture shall surrender to the Company such Debentures, duly endorsed, accompanied by written Notice of Conversion to the Company in the form provided in this Debenture that the Holder elects to convert such Debenture, or if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, the specified portion. Debentures shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the day of surrender of such Debentures for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the Holders of such Debentures as Holders shall cease, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock as and after such time. Within two days after the conversion date, the Company, without cost to the Holder, shall issue and deliver to Holder the converted Debenture or the person, specified by such Holder, a certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion registered in the name of such Holder or such other person as shall have been specified by such Holder and all accrued and unpaid interest on the converted Debenture or portion there upon which the Holder does not elect to receive payment in Common Stock. Upon Conversion of this Debenture, the Company shall take all such actions as are necessary in order to insure that the Common Stock issuable with respect to such conversion shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of this Debenture in any manner that interferes with the timely conversion of this Debenture. The Company shall assist and cooperate with any Holder of this Debenture required to make any governmental filings or obtain any governmental approval prior to or in connection with the conversion of this Debenture (including, without limitation, making any filings required to be made by the Company). The conversion rights of any Debenture subject to redemption hereunder shall terminate on the Redemption Date for such Debenture unless the Company has failed to pay to Holder thereof the Redemption Price of such Debenture or portion thereof.
Method of Exercise of Option The Option is exercisable by notice and payment to the Company in accordance with the procedure prescribed herein. Each such notice will:
(a) State the election to exercise the Option and the number of shares in respect of which it is being exercised;
(b) Contain a representation and agreement as to investment intent, if required by counsel to the Company with respect to such Shares, in form satisfactory to counsel for the Company; and
(c) Be signed by the person entitled to exercise the Option and, if the option is being exercised by any person other than the Director, be accompanied by proof, satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of the right of that person to exercise the Option. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company will specify, by written notice to the person exercising the option, a date and time (the "Closing Date") and place for payment of the full purchase price of such Shares. The Closing Date will be not more than fifteen days from the date the notice of exercise is received by the Company unless another date is agreed upon by the Company and the person exercising the Option or is required upon advice of counsel for the Company in order to meet the requirements of Section 10 hereof. Payment of the purchase price will be made at the place specified by the Company on or before the Closing Date by delivering to the Company a certified or bank cashier's check payable to the order of the Company. The Option will be deemed to have been exercised with respect to any particular shares of Common Stock if, and only if, the preceding provisions of this Section 9 and the provisions of Section 10 hereof shall have been complied with, in which event the option will be deemed to have been exercised on the Closing Date. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any notice of exercise given pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9 will be void and of no effect if all the preceding provisions of this Section 9 and the provisions of Section 10 have not been complied with. The certificates for shares of Common Stock as to which the option shall be exercised will be registered in the name of the person exercising the option (or, if the option is exercised by the Director and if the Director so requests in the notice exercising the Option, will be registered in the name of the Director and another person jointly, with right of survivorship) and will be delivered on the Closing Date to the person exercising the Option at the place specified for the closing, but only upon compliance with all of the provisions of this Agreement. If the Director fails to accept delivery of and pay for all or any part of the number of shares specified in the notice upon tender or delivery thereof on the Closing Date, his right to exercise the Option with respect to those undelivered shares may be terminated in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Option may be exercised only with respect to full shares.
Exercise of Call Option 3.1 During the Call Option Period, PCCW may exercise the Call Option by delivering to PubCo a written notice (the “Call Notice”) specifying the principal amount of the Call Option Note it elects to subscribe for (such principal amount, the “Call Option Note Amount”).
3.2 On the fifth (5th) Business Day following the delivery of a Call Notice (or such other date as may be mutually agreed between PubCo and PCCW) (such date, the “Call Option Closing Date”),
(a) PCCW shall deliver or cause to be delivered to PubCo one or more payment references for US$ CHATS (or such other payment references mutually agreed between PubCo and PCCW) in connection with the payment of the Call Option Note Amount to PubCo’s designated bank account (details of which shall be provided by PubCo to PCCW in writing at least three (3) Business Days before the Call Option Closing Date).
(b) PubCo shall (i) issue and deliver to PCCW a Call Option Note in favour of PCCW payable in the principal amount of the Call Option Note Amount, together with a certified copy of the register of holders of the Call Option Notes as at such Call Option Closing Date, and (ii) issue and deliver to PCCW such number of Class A Ordinary Shares as determined in accordance with Section 2.1(b), and cause such Class A Ordinary Shares to be registered in book entry form and registered in PubCo’s share register or register of members (as applicable) in PCCW’s name.
3.3 The Class A Ordinary Shares issued to PCCW upon any exercise of the Call Option shall:
(a) be credited as fully paid,
(b) have the rights set out in the PubCo Charter relating to Class A Ordinary Shares; and
(c) rank pari passu in all respects with those Class A Ordinary Shares in issue on the Call Option Closing Date.
3.4 No fractions of a Class A Ordinary Share shall be issued on the exercise of the Call Option. If, by reason of any provisions in this Agreement, PCCW would otherwise be entitled, upon the exercise of the Call Option, to receive a fractional interest in a Class A Ordinary Share, PubCo shall, upon such exercise, round down the number of the Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued to PCCW to the nearest whole number.
3.5 Each of the Class A Ordinary Shares acquired by PCCW (or its permitted transferees) pursuant to this Agreement during the Lock-Up Period (as defined in the Company Shareholders Support Agreement) shall be subject to the lock-up restrictions and other provisions of the Company Shareholders Support Agreement.
Effect of Exercise of Warrants (1) Upon compliance by the Warrantholder with the provisions of Section 3.1, the Warrant Shares subscribed for shall be deemed to have been issued and the person to whom such Warrant Shares are to be issued shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares on the Exercise Date unless the transfer registers of the Company for the Common Shares shall be closed on such date, in which case the Warrant Shares subscribed for shall be deemed to have been issued and such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares on the date on which such transfer registers are reopened.
(2) The Warrant Agent shall as soon as practicable account to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised, and shall as soon as practicable forward to the Company (or into an account or accounts of the Company with the bank or trust company designated by the Company for that purpose), all monies received by the Warrant Agent on the subscription of Warrant Shares through the exercise of Warrants. All such monies and any securities or other instruments, from time to time received by the Warrant Agent, shall be received in trust for the Warrantholders and the Company as their interests may appear and shall be segregated and kept apart by the Warrant Agent.
(3) Within five Business Days following the due exercise of a Warrant pursuant to Section 3.1, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to issue and the Warrant Agent to deliver, within such five Business Day period, to CDS through the Book-Entry Only System the Warrant Shares to which the exercising Warrantholder is entitled pursuant to the exercise or mail to the person in whose name the Warrant Shares so subscribed for are to be issued, as specified in the exercise form completed on the Warrant Certificate, at the address specified in such exercise form, a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares to which the Warrantholder is entitled or, if so specified in writing by the holder, cause to be delivered to such person or persons at the office of the Warrant Agent where the Warrant Certificate was surrendered, a certificate or certificates for the appropriate number of Warrant Shares subscribed for, or any other appropriate evidence of the issuance of Warrant Shares to such person or persons in respect of Warrant Shares issued under the Book-Entry Only System and, if applicable, shall cause the Warrant Agent to mail a Warrant Certificate representing any Warrants not then exercised.
