Rights of Shareholders The Shares shall be personal property giving only the rights in this Declaration specifically set forth. The ownership of the Trust Property of every description and the right to conduct any business herein before described are vested exclusively in the Trustees, and the Shareholders shall have no interest therein other than the beneficial interest conferred by their Shares, and they shall have no right to call for any partition or division of any property, profits, rights or interests of the Trust nor can they be called upon to share or assume any losses of the Trust or, subject to the right of the Trustees to charge certain expenses directly to Shareholders, as provided in the last sentence of Section 3.8, suffer an assessment of any kind by virtue of their ownership of Shares. The Shares shall not entitle the holder to preference, preemptive, appraisal, conversion or exchange rights (except as specified in this Section 6.3, in Section 11.4 or as specified by the Trustees when creating the Shares, as in preferred shares).
Agreement of Warrant Holders Every holder of a Warrant, by his acceptance thereof, consents and agrees with the Company, the Warrant Agent and every other holder of a Warrant that:
Terms of Warrants; Exercise of Warrants Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Warrant holder shall have the right, which may be exercised from the date of original issuance of the Warrant certificates pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and prior to 5:00 p.m. New York city time on the tenth anniversary thereof (the "Expiration Date"), to exercise each Warrant and receive from the Company the number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares which the holder may at the time be entitled to receive on exercise of such Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price (as herein defined) then in effect for such Warrant Shares; provided, however, that no Warrant holder shall be entitled to exercise such holder's Warrants at any time unless at the time of exercise the Registration Statement is effective under the Act, and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued by the SEC; and provided, further, that if the Company or a holder of Warrants reasonably believes (as evidenced by notice to the Warrant Agent of such belief) that the exercise of any Warrant requires prior compliance with the Hart-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Xxxitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and the rules and regulations thereunder, any such exercise shall be contingent upon such prior compliance as evidenced by notice from the Company to the Warrant Agent of such compliance. Each Warrant, when exercised will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock at the Exercise Price. Each Warrant not exercised prior to the Expiration Date shall become void and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease as of such time.
Term of Warrants; Exercise of Warrants (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Holder shall have the right, at any time during the period commencing on the "Exercisability Date" (hereinafter defined), and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on December 26, 2006 (the "Termination Date"), to purchase from the Company up to the number of Shares which the Holder may at the time be entitled to purchase pursuant to this Agreement and the portion of the Warrant (or certificate therefor) then held by it, upon surrender to the Company, at its principal office in Dallas, Texas, of the certificate evidencing the portion of the Warrant to be exercised together with the purchase form duly filled in and signed, and upon payment to the Company of the portion of the Warrant Price, as defined in and determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 hereof, allocable to the number of Shares with respect to which such portion of the Warrant is then exercised. Payment of the Warrant Price shall be made (i) in cash, by cashier's check or by wire transfer or (ii) through the surrender of debt, preferred equity securities or Common Stock of the Company having a principal amount, liquidation preference, or current market price, as the case may be, equal to the aggregate Warrant Price to be paid (the Company will pay the accrued interest or dividends on such surrendered debt, preferred equity securities, or Common Stock in cash at the time of surrender notwithstanding the stated terms thereof) or (iii) through "cashless" or "net-issue" exercise provided in Section 3(b) below. For purposes of this Section 3, the "Exercisability Date" shall mean the earliest to occur of the following dates: (i) December 27, 1999; (ii) the date when a Change of Control Notice (as defined in Section 7.4) is given; (iii) the date that certain Consulting and Strategic Services Agreement dated December 27, 1996 by and between the Company and EUF Xxxxxx X.X. is terminated (with or without cause); or (iv) the date upon which a registered public offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of equity interests in the Company is made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 or a successor form, but in no event earlier than June 27, 1998 in the event such offering occurs prior to such date.
Suits by Warrantholders All or any of the rights conferred upon any Warrantholder by any of the terms of this Indenture may be enforced by the Warrantholder by appropriate proceedings but without prejudice to the right which is hereby conferred upon the Warrant Agent to proceed in its own name to enforce each and all of the provisions herein contained for the benefit of the Warrantholders.
Effect of Exercise of Warrants (a) Upon surrender and payment as aforesaid the shares so subscribed for will be deemed to have been issued and such person or persons will be deemed to have become the Holder or Holders of record of such shares on the date of such surrender and payment, and such shares will be issued at the subscription price in effect on the date of such surrender and payment.
Rights of Shareholder Except as otherwise provided in the Award and this instrument, the Grantee shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Corporation in respect of the Performance Units or Common Stock for which the Award is granted; and the Grantee shall not be considered or treated as a record owner of shares with respect to the Common Stock until the Performance Units are fully vested and no longer subject to any of the conditions, performance requirements, or restrictions imposed under the Award, and Common Stock is actually issued and transferred to the Grantee.
Disposition of Warrantholder's Rights In no event will the Warrantholder make a disposition of any of its rights to acquire Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of such rights unless and until (i) it shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition, and (ii) if requested by the Company, it shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel (which counsel may either be inside or outside counsel to the Warrantholder) satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect that (A) appropriate action necessary for compliance with the 1933 Act has been taken, or (B) an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act is available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions imposed upon the transferability of any of its rights to acquire Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock issuable on the exercise of such rights do not apply to transfers from the beneficial owner of any of the aforementioned securities to its nominee or from such nominee to its beneficial owner, and shall terminate as to any particular share of Preferred Stock when (1) such security shall have been effectively registered under the 1933 Act and sold by the holder thereof in accordance with such registration or (2) such security shall have been sold without registration in compliance with Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, or (3) a letter shall have been issued to the Warrantholder at its request by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission or a ruling shall have been issued to the Warrantholder at its request by such Commission stating that no action shall be recommended by such staff or taken by such Commission, as the case may be, if such security is transferred without registration under the 1933 Act in accordance with the conditions set forth in such letter or ruling and such letter or ruling specifies that no subsequent restrictions on transfer are required. Whenever the restrictions imposed hereunder shall terminate, as hereinabove provided, the Warrantholder or holder of a share of Preferred Stock then outstanding as to which such restrictions have terminated shall be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense to such holder, one or more new certificates for the Warrant or for such shares of Preferred Stock not bearing any restrictive legend.
Rights of Stockholders No holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, as a Warrant holder, to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of the Shares or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.
Exercise of Warrants (a) During the period specified in Section 2.2, the Warrants may be exercised to purchase a whole number of Warrant Securities in registered form by providing certain information as set forth on the reverse side of the Warrant Certificate and by paying in full, in lawful money of the United States of America, [in cash or by certified check or official bank check in New York Clearing House funds] [by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds] the Warrant Price for each Warrant Security with respect to which a Warrant is being exercised to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust office, provided that such exercise is subject to receipt within five business days of such payment by the Warrant Agent of the Warrant Certificate with the form of election to purchase Warrant Securities set forth on the reverse side of the Warrant Certificate properly completed and duly executed. The date on which payment in full of the Warrant Price is received by the Warrant Agent shall, subject to receipt of the Warrant Certificate as aforesaid, be deemed to be the date on which the Warrant is exercised; provided, however, that if, at the date of receipt of such Warrant Certificates and payment in full of the Warrant Price, the transfer books for the Warrant Securities purchasable upon the exercise of such Warrants shall be closed, no such receipt of such Warrant Certificates and no such payment of such Warrant Price shall be effective to constitute the person so designated to be named as the holder of record of such Warrant Securities on such date, but shall be effective to constitute such person as the holder of record of such Warrant Securities for all purposes at the opening of business on the next succeeding day on which the transfer books for the Warrant Securities purchasable upon the exercise of such Warrants shall be opened, and the certificates for the Warrant Securities in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised shall be issuable as of the date on such next succeeding day on which the transfer books shall next be opened, and until such date the Company shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such Warrant Securities. The Warrant Agent shall deposit all funds received by it in payment of the Warrant Price in an account of the Company maintained with it and shall advise the Company by telephone at the end of each day on which a payment for the exercise of Warrants is received of the amount so deposited to its account. The Warrant Agent shall promptly confirm such telephone advice to the Company in writing.
