Option; Option Price On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 18 of this Agreement, the Optionee shall have the option (the “Option”) to purchase Shares at the price per Share (the “Option Price”) and in the amounts set forth on the signature page hereto. Payment of the Option Price may be made in the manner specified by Section 5.9 of the Plan. The Option is not intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Except as otherwise provided in Section 7 of this Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable as to all Vested Options (as defined in Section 4) until the expiration of the Option Term (as defined in Section 3). Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement, upon a Termination of Relationship, the unvested portion of the Option (i.e., that portion which does not constitute Vested Options) shall terminate.
Option (a) In order to induce Parent and Purchaser to enter into the Merger Agreement, Stockholder hereby grants to Purchaser an irrevocable option (a "SECURITIES OPTION") to purchase the Securities (the "OPTION SECURITIES") at the Offer Price, subject to increase as set forth below (the "PURCHASE PRICE"). The Securities Option may be exercised, in whole but not in part, by written notice to Stockholder (as set forth below), for a period of ten (10) business days (the "10 DAY PERIOD") following termination of the Merger Agreement or termination of the Offer, whichever shall first occur; PROVIDED that, prior to such termination, either (i) a Trigger Event shall have occurred or (ii) (A) the Company shall have received a written proposal from any person other than Parent, Purchaser or any affiliate of Parent or Purchaser for an Acquisition Transaction, which proposal shall not have expired or been withdrawn, (B) the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(b), 8.01(d)(ii), 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) and (C) at the time of such termination the Minimum Condition shall not have been satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities Option may not be exercised until: (i) all waiting periods under the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR ACT"), required for the purchase of the Securities upon such exercise shall have expired or been waived and any other conditions under the other Antitrust Laws shall have been satisfied and (ii) there shall not be in effect any preliminary injunction or other order issued by any Governmental Entity prohibiting the exercise of the Securities Option pursuant to this Agreement; provided that if (i) all HSR Act waiting periods shall not have expired or been terminated or (ii) there shall be in effect any such injunction or order, in each case on the expiration of the 10 Day Period, the 10 Day Period shall be extended until five (5) business days after the later of (A) the date of expiration or termination of all HSR Act waiting periods, and (B) the date of removal or lifting of such injunction or order.
(b) In the event that Purchaser wishes to exercise the Securities Option, Purchaser shall send a written notice (the "NOTICE") to Stockholder identifying the date (not less than two (2) nor more than five (5) business days from the date of the Notice) for the closing of such purchase, which closing shall be held at the executive offices of the Company (or such other place as the parties may agree). At the closing, Stockholder shall deliver to Purchaser appropriate and effective instruments of transfer of the Option Securities, against payment to Stockholder of the Purchase Price, in same day funds, by wire transfer to such account as Stockholder shall designate.
(c) In the event the Option Securities are acquired by Purchaser pursuant to the exercise of the Securities Option (the "ACQUIRED SECURITIES") and, either before or at any time within the one-year period following such acquisition, Parent, Purchaser or any affiliate of Parent or Purchaser shall acquire Common Stock (other than from the Company) at a price in excess of the Purchase Price, then the Purchase Price hereunder shall be increased to such higher price. If the purchase of the Acquired Securities has been completed at the time of such increase, Stockholder shall be entitled to receive, and Purchaser shall promptly (and in no event more than 48 hours following such increase) pay to Stockholder, by wire transfer of same day funds to such account as Stockholder shall designate, the amount of the increase.
(d) In the event the Option Securities are acquired by Purchaser pursuant to the exercise of the Securities Option, Stockholder shall be entitled to receive, and Purchaser shall promptly (and in no event more than 48 hours following such Sale) pay to Stockholder, upon any subsequent disposition, transfer or sale to an unaffiliated third party ("SALE") of all or any portion of the Acquired Securities within the one-year period following such acquisition, an amount per share in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the net proceeds received per share in the Sale over the Purchase Price. Any such payment shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds to such account as Stockholder shall designate.
Conversion at Option of Holder (A) This Debenture shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, after the Original Issue Date (as defined in Section 4) (subject to the limitations on conversion set forth in Section 3(a)(ii) hereof). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder equals the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding amount of this Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3(c)(i)). The Obligor shall deliver Common Stock certificates to the Holder prior to the Fifth (5th) Trading Day after a Conversion Date.
(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if on any Conversion Date: (1) the number of shares of Common Stock at the time authorized, unissued and unreserved for all purposes, or held as treasury stock, is insufficient to pay principal and interest hereunder in shares of Common Stock; (2) the Common Stock is not listed or quoted for trading on the OTC or on a Subsequent Market; (3) the Obligor has failed to timely satisfy its conversion; or (4) the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would result in a violation of Section 3(a)(ii), then, at the option of the Holder, the Obligor, in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(a)(i)(A), shall deliver, within three (3) Trading Days of each applicable Conversion Date, an amount in cash equal to the product of the outstanding principal amount to be converted plus any interest due therein divided by the Conversion Price and multiplied by the highest closing price of the stock from date of the conversion notice till the date that such cash payment is made. Further, if the Obligor shall not have delivered any cash due in respect of conversion of this Debenture or as payment of interest thereon by the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder may, by notice to the Obligor, require the Obligor to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(c), except that for such purpose the Conversion Price applicable thereto shall be the lesser of the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date and the Conversion Price on the date of such Holder demand. Any such shares will be subject to the provisions of this Section.
(C) The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Obligor a completed notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a "Conversion Notice"). The date on which a Conversion Notice is delivered is the "Conversion Date." Unless the Holder is converting the entire principal amount outstanding under this Debenture, the Holder is not required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Obligor in order to effect conversions. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Obligor shall maintain records showing the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.
Option Term This option shall have a term of ten (10) years measured from the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at the close of business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with Paragraph 5 or 6.
