METHOD OF
EXERCISING OPTION .
|
Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Option may be exercised by written notice to the
Company or its designee, in substantially the form of Exhibit
A attached hereto. Such notice shall state the
number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being
exercised and shall be signed by the person exercising the
Option. The Company shall deliver such Shares as soon as
practicable after the notice shall be received, provided, however,
that the Company may delay issuance of such Shares until completion
of any action or obtaining of any consent, which the Company deems
necessary under any applicable law (including, without limitation,
state securities or “blue sky” laws). The
Shares as to which the Option shall have been so exercised shall be
registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the
person so exercising the Option (or, if the Option shall be
exercised by the Holder and if the Holder shall so request in the
notice exercising the Option, shall be registered in the name of
the Holder and another person jointly, with right of survivorship)
and shall be delivered as provided above to or upon the written
order of the person exercising the Option. In the event
the Option shall be exercised, by any person other than the Holder,
such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right
of such person to exercise the Option. All Shares that
shall be purchased upon the exercise of the Option as provided
herein shall be fully paid and nonassessable.
Exercise of this Option to the extent above
stated may be made in part at any time and from time to time within
the above limits, except that no fractional share shall be issued
pursuant to this Option.
The Option shall not be transferable by the
Holder otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as
defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act or the rules thereunder. However, the
Holder, with the approval of the Company, may transfer the Option
for no consideration to or for the benefit of the Holder’s
Immediate Family (including, without limitation, to a trust for the
benefit of the Holder’s Immediate Family or to a partnership
or limited liability company for one or more members of the
Holder’s Immediate Family), and the transferee shall remain
subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to the Option
prior to such transfer and each such transferee shall so
acknowledge in writing as a condition precedent to the
effectiveness of such transfer.
