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.
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:
Expansion Option The Borrower may from time to time elect to increase the Revolving Credit Commitments (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, the Swingline Commitment) in minimum increments of $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may agree) so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed $50,000,000. The Borrower may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Revolving Credit Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”; provided that no Ineligible Institution may be an Augmenting Lender), which agree to increase their existing Revolving Credit Commitments, or provide new Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be; provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender, shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower, each Letter of Credit Issuer, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto, and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto. No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in the increase) shall be required for any increase in Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15. Increases and new Revolving Credit Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments (or in the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase and immediately prior to giving effect to any such increase and the addition of any Augmenting Lenders to this Agreement, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 6.2 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and (B) the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenant contained in Section 9.3 and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents and opinions consistent with those delivered on the effective date as to the organizational power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase. On the effective date of any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans as of the date of any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Credit Loans, with related LIBOR Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.9). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each LIBOR Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.11 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related LIBOR Periods. Nothing contained in this Section 2.15 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder.
Method of Exercising Options (i) The Option may be exercised by giving written notice, in form substantially as set forth in the Company's Stock Option Exercise Form, to the Company at its principal office, specifying the number of Option Shares to be purchased and accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate purchase price for such Option Shares. Only full shares shall be delivered and any fractional share which might otherwise be deliverable upon exercise of the Option shall be forfeited.
Landlord’s Option At any time within ten (10) days after Landlord's receipt of the notice specified in Section 14.2, Landlord may by notice to Tenant elect to (a) terminate this Lease as to the portion (including all) of the Premises that is specified in Tenant's notice, with a proportionate abatement in the Base Rent, (b) consent to the Sublease or Assignment, or (c) disapprove the Sublease or Assignment; Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the Assignment or Sublease. Tenant shall pay as additional rent, Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the review of any proposed Assignment or Sublease. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which all sums payable to Tenant in connection with such Assignment or Sublease exceed the total of (a) Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, (b) reasonable leasing commission incurred by Tenant in connection therewith, and (c) the cost of any Alterations reasonably incurred in connection therewith, and (d) advertisement costs. If Landlord consents to the Sublease or Assignment within such ten (10) day period, Tenant may thereafter within sixty (60) days after Landlord's consent enter into such Assignment or Sublease with such approved assignee or subtenant upon the terms and conditions set forth in the notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.2. No Assignment or Sublease shall be binding on Landlord until Tenant delivers an executed copy of such Assignment or Sublease to Landlord. Notwithstanding Section 14.3 or any other provision to the contrary, in the event Landlord exercises its recapture right under this Section 14.3, Tenant shall have the right to rescind its notice for request to sublease, assign or transfer within three (3) business days following receipt of Landlord's notice of recapture.
Expansion Options Without limitation of the terms of Paragraph 34(L)(i) of the Original Lease, it is hereby agreed that if Tenant exercises an Expansion Option under Paragraphs 34(B) through (K) of the Lease, and if Tenant had, prior to such exercise, either (i) failed to timely exercise any previous Expansion Option under Article 34 of the Lease (any such floor which constituted the Expansion Premises for the Expansion Option which Tenant so failed to exercise being referred to as a “Failed Expansion Premises Floor”), or (ii) exercised any of its contraction options relative to a full floor at the Building under Paragraphs 34(U) through (X) of the Original Lease (any such floor which constituted the contraction space for such contraction option being referred to as a “Contraction Premises Floor”), then Landlord shall have the right to substitute any such Failed Expansion Premises Floor or Contraction Premises Floor (as the case may be) as the applicable Expansion Premises for the Expansion Option being so exercised by Tenant, in which case such floor so designated by Landlord shall be the applicable Expansion Premises for purposes of the Lease. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit any of the other terms and conditions set forth in Article 34 of the Lease (as amended hereby) relative to the Expansion Premises thereunder. If Landlord elects to exercise its right to substitute any floors as the applicable Expansion Premises under this Paragraph 2, then Landlord shall notify Tenant of the substitute floor within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of the applicable Expansion Notice from Tenant.
Option Right Landlord hereby grants to the originally named Tenant herein (“Original Tenant”), and its “Permitted Assignees”, as that term is defined in Section 14.8, below, one (1) option to extend the Lease Term for a period of five (5) years (the “Option Term”), which option shall be irrevocably exercised only by written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord not more than eighteen (18) months nor less than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term, provided that the following conditions (the “Option Conditions”) are satisfied: (i) as of the date of delivery of such notice, Tenant is not in default under this Lease, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period; (ii) as of the end of the Lease Term, Tenant is not in default under this Lease, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period; (iii) Tenant has not previously been in default under this Lease, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, more than twice; and (iv) the Lease then remains in full force and effect and Original Tenant or a Permitted Assignee occupies the majority of the Premises at the time the option to extend is exercised and as of the commencement of the Option Term. Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, exercised in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, waive any of the Option Conditions in which case the option, if otherwise properly exercised by Tenant, shall remain in full force and effect. Upon the proper exercise of such option to extend, and provided that Tenant satisfies all of the Option Conditions (except those, if any, which are waived by Landlord), the Lease Term, as it applies to the Premises, shall be extended for a period of five (5) years. The rights contained in this Section 2.2 shall be personal to Original Tenant and any Permitted Assignees, and may be exercised by Original Tenant or such Permitted Assignees (and not by any assignee, sublessee or other “Transferee,” as that term is defined in Section 14.1 of this Lease, of Tenant’s interest in this Lease).
Landlord’s Option as to Subject Space Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, in the event Tenant contemplates a Transfer other than to a Permitted Transferee which, together with all prior Transfers then remaining in effect, would cause fifty percent (50%) or more of the Premises to be Transferred for more than fifty percent (50%) of the then remaining Lease Term (taking into account any extension of the Lease Term which has irrevocably exercised by Tenant), Tenant shall give Landlord notice (the “Intention to Transfer Notice”) of such contemplated Transfer (whether or not the contemplated Transferee or the terms of such contemplated Transfer have been determined). The Intention to Transfer Notice shall specify the portion of and amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which Tenant intends to Transfer in the subject Transfer (the “Contemplated Transfer Space”), the contemplated date of commencement of the Contemplated Transfer (the “Contemplated Effective Date”), and the contemplated length of the term of such contemplated Transfer. Thereafter, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Intention to Transfer Notice, to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space. Such recapture shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to such Contemplated Transfer Space as of the Contemplated Effective Date. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner, to recapture such Contemplated Transfer Space under this Section 14.4, then, subject to the other terms of this Article 14, for a period of nine (9) months (the “Nine Month Period”) commencing on the last day of such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not have any right to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space with respect to any Transfer made during the Nine Month Period, provided that any such Transfer is substantially on the terms set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice, and provided further that any such Transfer shall be subject to the remaining terms of this Article 14. If such a Transfer is not so consummated within the Nine Month Period (or if a Transfer is so consummated, then upon the expiration of the term of any Transfer of such Contemplated Transfer Space consummated within such Nine Month Period), Tenant shall again be required to submit a new Intention to Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect any contemplated Transfer, as provided above in this Section 14.4. Tenant shall not be required to provide a separate Intention to Transfer Notice and Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to a Transfer shall satisfy Tenant’s obligations in this Section 14.4.
Landlord’s Election If Tenant shall desire to assign its interest under this Lease or to sublet the Leased Premises, Tenant must first notify Landlord, in writing, of its intent to so assign or sublet, at least 20 days in advance of the date it intends to so assign its interest in this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises but not sooner than one hundred eighty days in advance of such date, specifying in detail the terms of such proposed assignment or subletting, including the name of the proposed assignee or subleasee, the proposed assignee's or subleasee's intended use of the Leased Premises, a current financial statement of such proposed assignee or subleasee and the form of documents to be used in effectuating such assignment or subletting. Landlord shall have a period of 10 days following receipt of such notice within which to do one of the following: (i) consent to such requested assignment or subletting subject to Tenant's compliance with the conditions set forth in Article 7.4 below or (ii) refuse to so consent to such requested assignment or subletting, provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably refused. It shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting if (i) the proposed assignee's or subtenant's anticipated use of the Premises in- volves the storage, use or disposal of a Hazardous Material other than Hazardous Materials used by Tenant; (ii) if the proposed assignee or subtenant has been required by any prior landlord, lender or governmental authority to clean up Hazardous Materials unlawfully discharged by the proposed assignee or subtenant; or (iii) if the proposed assignee or subtenant is subject to investigation or enforcement order or proceeding by any governmental authority in connection with the unlawful use, disposal or storage of a Hazardous Material. During said 10 day period, Tenant covenants and agrees to supply to Landlord, upon request, all necessary or relevant information which Landlord may reasonably request respecting such proposed assignment or subletting and/or the proposed assignee or subleasee.
Landlord’s Options Landlord shall have the option, exercisable by written notice delivered to Tenant within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s receipt of a Transfer Notice accompanied by the other information described in Section 12.1, to: (a) permit Tenant to Transfer the Premises; or (b) disapprove (provided, Landlord’s disapproval must be in accordance with Section 12.1 hereof) the Tenant’s Transfer of the Premises and to continue the Lease in full force and effect as to the entire Premises; or (c) in the event of (i) a proposed assignment of the Lease or (ii) a sublease of more than 50% of the Premises (taking into account all sublets in the aggregate) for all or substantially all of the balance of the Term, terminate the Lease as of the proposed effective date of the Transfer set forth in Tenant’s Transfer Notice (a “Recapture”); provided, however, that if Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s intention to Recapture the Premises, Tenant may elect to withdraw its Transfer Notice by written notice of such election delivered to Landlord within ten (10) business days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Recapture notice. If Landlord approves of the proposed Transfer pursuant to Section 12.1 above, Tenant may enter into the proposed Transfer with such proposed Transferee subject to the following conditions: (i) the Transfer shall be on the same terms set forth in the Transfer Notice; and (ii) no Transfer shall be valid and no Transferee shall take possession of the Premises until an executed counterpart of the assignment, sublease or other instrument effecting the Transfer (in the form approved by Landlord) has been delivered to Landlord pursuant to which the Transferee shall expressly assume all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease applicable to that portion of the Premises then being transferred (provided that, for a subtenant, the rental obligations shall be governed by the terms of the applicable sublease). If Landlord exercises its option to terminate this Lease (or in the case of a partial sublet to release Tenant with respect to a portion of the Premises) as provided above, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises on the proposed effective date of the Transfer set forth in Tenant’s Transfer Notice, and thereafter neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further liability with respect thereto, except with respect to those matters that expressly survive the termination of the Lease.
