Related to Agreements with Optionees and Warrantholders
Stock Options and Warrants At the Effective Time of the Merger, each outstanding option to purchase Company Common Stock (each, a "Company Stock Option"), whether or not granted under the Company Option Plan, and all outstanding warrants to purchase Company Common Stock the outstanding whether or not vested, shall by virtue of the Merger be assumed by Parent. Each Company Stock Option and Warrant so assumed by Parent under this Agreement will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such options immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger (including, without limitation, any repurchase rights or vesting provisions and provisions regarding the acceleration of vesting on certain transactions), except that (i) each Company Stock Option and Warrant will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of Company Shares that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Stock Option or Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock if the said product is equal to or less than the fraction of one-half (.5) of one Parent Common Stock or rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock if the said product is greater than the fraction of one-half (.5) of one Parent Common Stock, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Company Stock Option and Warrant will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per Company Share at which such Company Stock Option and Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Parent shall comply with the terms of all such Company Stock Options and Warrants and use its best efforts to ensure, to the extent required by, and subject to the provisions of, the Company Option Plan and permitted under the Code or other relevant laws and regulations that any Company Stock Option that qualified for tax treatment under Section 424(b) of the Code prior to the Effective Time of the Merger continue to so qualify after the Effective Time of the Merger. Parent shall take all corporate actions necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of all Company Stock Options and Warrants on the terms set forth in this Section 2.03(b).
Rights, Options and Warrants If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which Sections 5.05(A)(iii)(1) and 5.05(F) will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the record date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula: where: CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; OS = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; X = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and Y = a number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants by (y) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced. To the extent such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of only the rights, options or warrants, if any, actually distributed. In addition, to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, option or warrants. For purposes of this Section 5.05(A)(ii) and Section 5.01(C)(i)(3)(a)(I), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date the distribution of such rights, options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Company in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.
Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Option or upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such Option or to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall have expired or terminated, the Exercise Price then in effect will be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination (other than in respect of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued.
Further Agreements of the Selling Shareholders Each of the Selling Shareholders covenants and agrees with each Underwriter that:
Shareholder Agreements As a material inducement to Parent to enter into this Agreement, and simultaneously with, the execution of this Agreement, each Shareholder (as defined herein) is entering into an agreement, in the form of Annex A hereto (collectively, the "Shareholder Agreements") pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to vote their shares of Company Common Stock in favor of this Agreement.
Options and Warrants (a) As of the Effective Time, all options to purchase Common Shares issued by the Company pursuant to its stock option plans or otherwise ("Options"), whether vested or unvested, and the Company's stock option plan(s) under which Options have been granted shall be assumed by the Buyer. Immediately after the Effective Time, each Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to constitute an option to acquire Buyer Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Option at the Effective Time, subject to the adjustments contemplated by this Section 1.9(a). For all assumed Options, other than any Options issued as contemplated by Section 4.4(a) (referred to as the "Permitted Options"), each Option shall become an option to acquire a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock equal to the number of Common Shares subject to the unexercised portion of such Option multiplied by the Common Conversion Ratio (with any fraction resulting from such multiplication to be rounded down to the nearest whole number). The exercise price per share of each such assumed Option, other than Permitted Options, shall be equal to the exercise price of such Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by the Common Conversion Ratio (with any fraction resulting from such division to be rounded up to the nearest whole cent). The number of shares purchasable under, and the exercise price of, each assumed Permitted Option shall not be adjusted in connection with the Merger and shall remain the same after the Effective Time. Following the Measurement Period, with respect to any Options assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.9(a) and still unexercised, other than Permitted Options, the holder of such assumed Option shall receive additional options, on the same terms and conditions and at the same exercise price per share in effect immediately prior to such issuance, to purchase a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock equal to the difference between (i) the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock subject to such assumed Option immediately prior thereto multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the Total Merger Consideration and (B) the denominator of which is 4,960,000 (with any fraction resulting from such multiplication to be rounded down to the nearest whole number), and (ii) the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock subject to such assumed Option immediately prior thereto. The exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment shall not be adjusted. The term, exercisability, vesting schedule, status as an "incentive stock option" under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended, the "Code"), if applicable, and all of the other terms of the Options shall otherwise remain unchanged. In the event the Buyer receives a request to exercise any Option assumed by it following the Effective Time and prior to the expiration of the Measurement Period, Buyer shall notify the optionholder of the consequence of such exercise with respect to potential additional options contemplated by this Section 1.9(a).
Limitation on Transactions with Shareholders and Affiliates The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into, renew or extend any transaction (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or assets, or the rendering of any service) with any holder (or any Affiliate of such holder) of 5% or more of any class of Capital Stock of the Company or with any Affiliate of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, except upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than could be obtained, at the time of such transaction or, if such transaction is pursuant to a written agreement, at the time of the execution of the agreement providing therefor, in a comparable arm's-length transaction with a Person that is not such a holder or an Affiliate. The foregoing limitation does not limit, and shall not apply to (i) transactions (A) approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors, or (B) for which the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary delivers to the Trustee a written opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm stating that the transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view; (ii) any transaction solely between the Company and any of its Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries or solely between Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries; (iii) the payment of reasonable and customary regular compensation (whether in cash or securities) and expense reimbursements to directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company; (iv) any payments or other transactions pursuant to any tax-sharing agreement between the Company and any other Person with which the Company files a consolidated tax return or with which the Company is part of a consolidated group for tax purposes; or (v) any Restricted Payments not prohibited by Section 4.04. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transaction or series of related transactions covered by the first paragraph of this Section 4.08 and not covered by clauses (ii) through (v) of this paragraph, (a) the aggregate amount of which exceeds $1 million in value, must be approved or determined to be fair in the manner provided for in clause (i)(A) or (B) above and (b) the aggregate amount of which exceeds $3 million in value, must be determined to be fair in the manner provided for in clause (i)(B) above.
