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.
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.
Manner of Exercise Subject to the provisions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant, together with a completed exercise agreement in the form attached hereto (the "Exercise Agreement"), to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at the Company's principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), and upon (i) payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer for the account of the Company of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement or (ii) if the resale of the Warrant Shares by the holder is not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), delivery to the Company of a written notice of an election to effect a "Cashless Exercise" (as defined in Section 11(c) below) for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof or such holder's designee, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered, and payment shall have been made for such shares as set forth above. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) business days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the holder hereof and shall be registered in the name of such holder or such other name as shall be designated by such holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised. In addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, if the Company fails to deliver certificates for the Warrant Shares within three (3) business days after this Warrant is exercised, then the Company shall pay to the holder in cash a penalty (the "Penalty") equal to 2% of the number of Warrant Shares that the holder is entitled to multiplied by the Market Price (as hereinafter defined) for each day that the Company fails to deliver certificates for the Warrant Shares. For example, if the holder is entitled to 100,000 Warrant Shares and the Market Price is $2.00, then the Company shall pay to the holder $4,000 for each day that the Company fails to deliver certificates for the Warrant Shares. The Penalty shall be paid to the holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, in no event shall the holder of this Warrant be entitled to exercise a number of Warrants (or portions thereof) in excess of the number of Warrants (or portions thereof) upon exercise of which the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised Warrants and the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including the Notes and Preferred Shares (as such terms are defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein) and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (or portions thereof) with respect to which the determination described herein is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of more than 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (i) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the limitation on exercise of this Warrant set forth herein may not be amended without (i) the written consent of the holder hereof and the Company and (ii) the approval of a majority of shareholders of the Company.
Exercise of SAR In order to exercise the SAR, the SAR Holder shall submit to the Company an instrument specifying the whole number of Shares in respect of which the SAR is being exercised. Shares will be issued accordingly by the Company within 30 days. The payment upon a SAR exercise shall be solely the number of whole Shares calculated in paragraph (a) above. Fractional Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share with no cash consideration being paid upon exercise. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares hereunder if the issuance of such Shares would violate the provision of any applicable law, in which event the Company shall, as soon as practicable, take whatever action it reasonably can so that such Shares may be issued without resulting in such violations of law.
Exercise of SARs Upon exercise of a SAR, the Participant (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive from the Company (a) Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price.
Initial Exercise Price; Exercise of Rights; Detachment of Rights (a) Subject to adjustment as herein set forth, each Right will entitle the holder thereof, from and after the Separation Time and prior to the Termination Time, to purchase one Common Share for the Exercise Price as at the Business Day immediately preceding the day of exercise of the Right (which Exercise Price and number of Common Shares are subject to adjustment as set forth below). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Rights held by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries shall be void. (b) Until the Separation Time, (i) the Rights shall not be exercisable and no Right may be exercised; and (ii) each Right will be evidenced by the certificate for the associated Common Share registered in the name of the holder thereof (which certificate shall also be deemed to represent a Rights Certificate) and will be transferable only together with, and will be transferred by a transfer of, such associated Common Share. (c) From and after the Separation Time and prior to the Termination Time: (i) the Rights shall be exercisable; and (ii) the registration and transfer of Rights shall be separate from and independent of Common Shares. Promptly following the Separation Time, the Corporation will prepare or cause to be prepared and the Rights Agent will mail to each holder of record of Common Shares as of the Separation Time (other than an Acquiring Person, any other Person whose Rights are or become void pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1(b) and, in respect of any Rights Beneficially owned by such Acquiring Person which are not held of record by such Acquiring Person, the holder of record of such Rights (a “Nominee”)) and, in respect of each Convertible Security converted into Common Shares after the Separation Time and prior to the Termination Time, promptly after such conversion, the Corporation will prepare or cause to be prepared and the Rights Agent will mail to the holder so converting (other than an Acquiring Person, any other Person whose Rights are or become void pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1(b) and, in respect of any Rights Beneficially owned by such Acquiring Person which are not held of record by such Acquiring Person, the Nominee, at such holder’s address as shown by the records of the Corporation (the Corporation hereby agreeing to furnish copies of such records to the Rights Agent for this purpose):
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.
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.
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.
Exercise of Stock Option (a) The Optionee may exercise this Option only in the following manner: from time to time on or prior to the Expiration Date of this Option, the Optionee may give written notice to the Board of Directors or its authorized committee (the “Administrator”) of his or her election to purchase some or all of the vested Option Shares purchasable at the time of such notice. This notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased. Payment of the Stock Option purchase price for the Option Shares may be made by one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator; (ii) in the form of shares of Stock that are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan and that have been held by the Optionee for at least six months prior to the exercise date; or (iii) by the Optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Administrator to pay the Stock Option purchase price, provided that in the event the Optionee chooses to pay the Stock Option purchase price as so provided in this subsection (iii), the Optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure. Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. The delivery of certificates representing the Option Shares will be contingent upon the Company’s receipt from the Optionee of full payment for the Option Shares, as set forth above and any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Administrator may require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of Options under the Plan and any subsequent resale of the shares of Stock will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. (b) Certificates for shares of Stock purchased upon exercise of this Stock Option shall be issued and delivered to the Optionee upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Administrator with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the Administrator as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Optionee. The Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder of the shares subject to this Stock Option, or to have any of the rights of a holder, unless and until this Stock Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall have issued and delivered the shares to the Optionee, and the Optionee’s name shall have been entered as the stockholder of record on the books of the Company. Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and other ownership rights with respect to such shares of Stock. (c) The minimum number of shares with respect to which this Stock Option may be exercised at any one time shall be 100 shares, unless the number of shares with respect to which this Stock Option is being exercised is the total number of shares subject to exercise under this Stock Option at the time. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date hereof.
