Exchange Option (a) The Board of Directors may, at its sole option and without seeking the approval of holders of Voting Shares or Rights but with the prior written consent of the Exchange if the Common Shares are then listed on such exchange, at any time after a Flip-in Event has occurred, authorize the Company to issue or deliver in respect of each Right which is not void pursuant to Subsection 3.1(b), either: (i) in return for the applicable Exercise Price and the Right, debt, equity or other securities or assets (or a combination thereof) having a value equal to twice the applicable Exercise Price; or (ii) in return for the Right, subject to any amounts that may be required to be paid under applicable law, debt, equity or other securities or assets (or a combination thereof) having a value equal to the value of the Right, in full and final settlement of all rights attaching to the Rights, where in either case the value of such debt, equity or other securities or other assets (or a combination thereof) and, in the case of Clause 3.2(a)(ii), the value of the Right, shall be determined by the Board of Directors which may rely upon the advice of a nationally or internationally recognized firm of investment dealers or investment bankers selected by the Board of Directors.
(b) If the Board of Directors authorizes the exchange of debt or equity securities or assets (or a combination thereof) for Rights pursuant to Subsection 3.2(a), without any further action or notice, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and the only right thereafter of a holder of Rights shall be to receive the debt or equity securities or assets (or a combination thereof) in accordance with the exchange formula authorized by the Board of Directors. Within 10 Business Days after the Board of Directors has authorized the exchange of debt or equity securities or assets (or a combination thereof) for Rights pursuant to Subsection 3.2(a), the Company shall give notice of exchange to the holders of such Rights by mailing such notice to all such holders at their last addresses as they appear upon the register of Rights holders maintained by the Rights Agent. Each such notice of exchange will state the method by which the exchange of debt or equity securities or assets (or a combination thereof) for Rights will be effected.
Treatment of Options and Convertible Securities In case the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall issue, sell, grant or assume any Options or Convertible Securities (both as defined below), then, and in each such case, the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number the purpose of which is to protect against dilution) at any time issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue, sale, grant or assumption; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 3.e hereof) of such shares would be less than the greater of the Current Market Price or the Warrant Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, sale, grant or assumption, as the case may be; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:
i. no further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consequent issue or sale of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock;
ii. if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the consideration payable to the Company, or decrease in the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof (by change of rate or otherwise), the Warrant Price computed upon the original issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof, and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options, or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities, which are outstanding at such time;
iii. upon the expiration (or purchase by the Company and cancellation or retirement) of any such Options which shall not have been exercised, or the expiration of any rights of conversion or exchange under any such Convertible Securities which (or purchase by the Company and cancellation or retirement of any such Convertible Securities the rights of conversion or exchange under which) shall not have been exercised, the Warrant Price computed upon the original issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof, and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon (and effective as of) such expiration (or such cancellation or retirement, as the case may be), be recomputed as if:
(A) in the case of Options or Convertible Securities, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold were the Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise, or for the issue or sale of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange, and
(B) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options were issued at the time of the issue, sale, grant or assumption of such Options, and the consideration received by the Company for the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have then been issued was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Company (pursuant to Section 3.e hereof) upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;
Subsequent Rights Offerings In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
Valid Issuance; Available Shares; Affiliates All of such outstanding shares are duly authorized and have been, or upon issuance will be, validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. Schedule 3(r)(iii) sets forth the number of shares of Common Stock that are (A) reserved for issuance pursuant to Convertible Securities (as defined below) (other than the Notes and the Warrants) and (B) that are, as of the date hereof, owned by Persons who are “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act and calculated based on the assumption that only officers, directors and holders of at least 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock are “affiliates” without conceding that any such Persons are “affiliates” for purposes of federal securities laws) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. To the Company’s knowledge, no Person owns 10% or more of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (calculated based on the assumption that all Convertible Securities (as defined below), whether or not presently exercisable or convertible, have been fully exercised or converted (as the case may be) taking account of any limitations on exercise or conversion (including “blockers”) contained therein without conceding that such identified Person is a 10% stockholder for purposes of federal securities laws).
Substitute Purchase Option In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock), the corporation formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver to the Holder a supplemental Purchase Option providing that the holder of each Purchase Option then outstanding or to be outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the stated expiration of such Purchase Option) to receive, upon exercise of such Purchase Option, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation or merger, by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company for which such Purchase Option might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such supplemental Purchase Option shall provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided in Section 6. The above provision of this Section shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or mergers.
Additional Options The NYS Contract Price for Additional Options offered under the Contract in accordance with Section III.2.7 Additional Options, shall be the Additional Options NYS Discount listed on the Contract Pricelist, or higher, applied to the MSRP on the current OEM Data Book or Contractor-Published Pricelist, as applicable. See Section III.1.2
Replacement Warrants If any mutilated Warrant is surrendered to the Warrant Agent or the Company and the Warrant Agent receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Warrant, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent, upon receipt of a Warrant Countersignature Order, shall countersign a replacement Warrant if the Warrant Agent's requirements are met. If required by the Warrant Agent or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Warrant Agent and the Company to protect the Company, the Warrant Agent, any Agent and any agent for purposes of the countersignature from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Warrant is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Warrant. Every replacement Warrant is an additional warrant of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Warrant Agreement equally and proportionately with all other Warrants duly issued hereunder.
Available Shares The Company will ensure that there are at all times sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the issuance, free of any preemptive rights, out its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, of the Maximum Amount.
Options and Convertible Securities The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to paragraph (c), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:
(A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities; by
(B) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
Vested Options Each vested outstanding Company Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Cashed-Out Options”) shall be cancelled at the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Option Consideration after which it shall be cancelled and extinguished. If the Per Share Conversion Common Amount does not exceed the per share exercise price of each such outstanding Company Option, then such Company Option shall be cancelled and extinguished, with no consideration payable in connection with such cancellation and no further rights to the holder thereof (the “Cancelled Options”) and such Company Option shall not be deemed a Cashed-Out Option. Company shall take any and all necessary action to provide for the cancellation of each Company Option in accordance with this Section 1.6(b)(i). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, through its payroll system on a special payroll run on the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall or shall direct its payroll agent to, in accordance with its customary payroll practices, pay to each holder of a Cashed-Out Option that was granted to the holder in the holder’s capacity as an employee of Company or any of its Subsidiaries for applicable employment Tax purposes (“Employee Cashed-Out Option Holder”) the applicable portion of the Option Consideration (subject to applicable withholding Taxes) payable in respect of each such Cashed-Out Option (“Employee Option Consideration”); provided, that, if any such Employee Cashed-Out Holder has not executed and delivered to Parent a Cashed-Out Option Agreement (a “Cashed-Out Option Agreement”) in substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT I, as of such date, the payment to such Employee Cashed-Out Option Holder shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable following the execution and delivery to Parent of a Cashed-Out Option Agreement. Each holder of a Cashed-Out Option that was granted to the holder in the holder’s capacity as a non-employee service provider to Company or any of its Subsidiaries for applicable employment Tax purposes (“Non-Employee Cashed-Out Option Holder”) shall be paid the applicable portion of the Option Consideration by the Exchange Agent in the manner provided in Section 1.11. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Option Consideration payable with respect to any Cashed-Out Options. In no event shall any Cashed-Out Option or Cancelled Option be assumed by Parent.
