Plan of Exchange a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Fund shall assign, transfer and convey its assets, including all securities and cash held by the Fund (subject to the liabilities of the Fund which shall be assumed by the Successor Fund) to the Successor Fund, and the Successor Fund shall acquire all of the assets of the Fund (subject as aforesaid to the liabilities of the Fund) in exchange for full and fractional shares of beneficial interest of the Successor Fund (the "Successor Fund Shares"), to be issued by the Federated Trust, in an aggregate number equal to the number of shares of the Fund then outstanding, and having an aggregate net asset value equal to the net assets of the Fund. The value of the assets of the Fund and the net asset value per share of the Successor Fund Shares shall be computed as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the Exchange Date (as hereinafter defined) (such time and date being hereinafter called the "Valuation Time") in accordance with the procedures for determining the value of the Successor Fund's assets set forth in the Successor Fund's organizational documents and the then-current prospectus and statement of additional information for the Successor Fund that forms a part of the Successor Fund's Registration Statement on Form N-1A (the "Registration Statement"). Successor Fund will not issue certificates representing Successor Fund Shares in connection with the Reorganization. In lieu of delivering certificates for the Successor Fund Shares, the Federated Trust shall credit the Successor Fund Shares to the Fund's account on the share record books of the Federated Trust and shall deliver a confirmation thereof to the Fund. The Fund shall then deliver written instructions to the Federated Trust's transfer agent to establish accounts for the shareholders on the share record books relating to the Successor Fund.
b) When the Successor Fund Shares are distributed pursuant to paragraph 1(a), all outstanding shares of the Fund, including any represented by certificates, shall be canceled on the Fund's share transfer books. No redemption or repurchase of Successor Fund Shares credited to a shareholder's account in respect of shares of the Fund represented by unsurrendered share certificates shall be permitted until such certificates have been surrendered to the Federated Trust for cancellation or, if such certificates are lost or misplaced, lost certificate affidavits and/or such other documentation that is satisfactory to the Federated Trust or its transfer agent have been executed and delivered thereto.
c) Delivery of the assets of the Fund to be transferred shall be made on the Exchange Date (as hereinafter defined). Assets transferred shall be delivered to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Federated Trust's custodian (the "Custodian"), for the account of the Federated Trust and the Successor Fund with all securities not in bearer or book entry form duly endorsed, or accompanied by duly executed separate assignments or stock powers, in proper form for transfer, with signatures guaranteed, and with all necessary stock transfer stamps, sufficient to transfer good and marketable title thereto (including all accrued interest and dividends and rights pertaining thereto) to the Custodian for the account of the Federated Trust and the Successor Fund free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, rights, restrictions and claims. All cash delivered shall be in the form of immediately available funds payable to the order of the Custodian for the account of the Federated Trust and the Successor Fund.
d) The Fund will pay or cause to be paid to the Federated Trust any interest received on or after the Exchange Date with respect to assets transferred from the Fund to the Successor Fund hereunder and any distributions, rights or other assets received by the Fund after the Exchange Date as distributions on or with respect to the securities transferred from the Fund to the Successor Fund hereunder. All such assets shall be deemed included in assets transferred to the Successor Fund on the Exchange Date and shall not be separately valued.
e) The Exchange Date shall be November 17, 2006, or such earlier or later date as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties.
f) As soon as practicable after the Exchange Date, the Fund shall distribute all of the Successor Fund Shares received by it to the shareholders of the Fund in numbers equal to the number of shares that each such shareholder holds in the Fund, and shall take all other steps necessary to effect its dissolution and termination. After the Exchange Date, the Fund shall not conduct any business except in connection with its dissolution and termination.
Issuance of Shares of Common Stock As soon as practicable upon the occurrence of an Exchange Event, the Company shall direct holders of the Rights to return their Rights Certificates to the Rights Agent. Upon receipt of a valid Rights Certificate, the Company shall issue to the registered holder of such Right(s) the number of full shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it and issue to such registered holder(s) a certificate or book-entry position for the such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Rights. The Company shall not issue fractional shares upon exchange of Rights. In the event that any holder would otherwise be entitled to any fractional share upon exchange of Rights, at the time of an Exchange Event, the Company will instruct the Right Agent how any such entitlement will be addressed. To the fullest extent permitted by the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation the Company reserves the right to deal with any such fractional entitlement at the relevant time in any manner permitted by the Act and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which would include the rounding down of any entitlement to receive shares of Common Stock to the nearest whole share (and in effect extinguishing any fractional entitlement), or the holder being entitled to hold any remaining fractional entitlement (without any share being issued) and to aggregate the same with any future fractional entitlement to receive shares in the Company until the holder is entitled to receive a whole number. Any rounding down and extinguishment may be done with or without any in lieu cash payment or other compensation being made to the holder of the relevant Rights, such that value received on exchange of the Rights may be considered less than the value that the holder would otherwise expect to receive.
Issuance of Shares of Common Stock on Exercise As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Warrant Price (if payment is pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(a)), the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder of such Warrant a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and if such Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new book-entry position or countersigned Warrant, as applicable, for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such Warrant shall not have been exercised. If fewer than all the Warrants evidenced by a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate are exercised, a notation shall be made to the records maintained by the Depositary, its nominee for each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, or a Participant, as appropriate, evidencing the balance of the Warrants remaining after such exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and shall have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company’s satisfying its obligations under Section 7.4. No Warrant shall be exercisable and the Company shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Common Stock issuable upon such Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt from registration or qualification under the securities laws of the state of residence of the Registered Holder of the Warrants, except pursuant to Section 7.4. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant, the holder of such Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant may have no value and expire worthless, in which case the purchaser of a Unit containing such Public Warrants shall have paid the full purchase price for the Unit solely for the shares of Common Stock underlying such Unit. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Warrant exercise. The Company may require holders of Public Warrants to settle the Warrant on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(b)
Purchase of Shares of Common Stock (a) Each Purchase Contract shall, unless an Early Settlement has occurred in accordance with Section 5.9, or a Merger Early Settlement has occurred in accordance with Section 5.10, obligate the Holder of the related Unit to purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Stock Purchase Date at a price equal to $50 (the "Purchase Price"), a number of newly issued shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate unless, on or prior to the Stock Purchase Date, there shall have occurred a Termination Event with respect to the Unit of which such Purchase Contract is a part. The "Settlement Rate" is equal to,
(i) if the Applicable Market Value (as defined below) is greater than or equal to $21.08 (the "Threshold Appreciation Price"), 2.3719 shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract,
(ii) if the Applicable Market Value is less than the Threshold Appreciation Price, but is greater than $17.28, the number of shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract equal to the Stated Amount of the related Unit divided by the Applicable Market Value, and
(iii) if the Applicable Market Value is equal to or less than $17.28, 2.8935 shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract, in each case subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.6 (and in each case rounded upward or downward to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share). As provided in Section 5.12, no fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon settlement of Purchase Contracts.
(b) No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued by the Company with respect to the payment of Contract Adjustment Payments on the Stock Purchase Date. In lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable with respect to such payment of Contract Adjustment Payments, the Holder will be entitled to receive an amount in cash as provided in Section 5.12.
Adjustment of Exchange Ratio In the event that, subsequent to the date of this Agreement but prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock, respectively, shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class as a result of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, combination, exchange, recapitalization or other similar transaction, the Exchange Ratio shall be appropriately adjusted.
Combination of Shares If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the per share Exercise Price shall be appropriately increased and the number of shares of Warrant Shares shall be appropriately decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
Adjustment Upon Subdivision or Combination of Shares of Common Stock If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock If and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Exempt Issuance issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to the New Issuance Price. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Exercise Price and consideration per share under this Section 3(e)), the following shall be applicable:
Acquisition of Shares The Borrower will not acquire any equity, share capital, assets or obligations of any corporation or other entity or permit its Shares to be held by any party other than the Shareholder.
