Rights of Rescission and Withdrawal for Holders Should a holder of Warrants exercise any legal, statutory, contractual or other right of withdrawal or rescission that may be available to it, and the holder’s funds which were paid on exercise have already been released to the Corporation by the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for ensuring the exercise is cancelled and a refund is paid back to the holder. In such cases, the holder shall seek a refund directly from the Corporation and subsequently, the Corporation, upon surrender to the Corporation or the Warrant Agent of any underlying Warrant Shares or other securities that may have been issued, or such other procedure as agreed to by the parties hereto, shall instruct the Warrant Agent in writing, to cancel the exercise transaction and any such underlying Warrant Shares or other securities on the register, which may have already been issued upon the Warrant exercise. In the event that any payment is received from the Corporation by virtue of the holder being a shareholder for such Warrants that were subsequently rescinded, such payment must be returned to the Corporation by such holder. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any duty or obligation to take any steps to ensure or enforce the return of the funds pursuant to this section, nor shall the Warrant Agent be in any other way responsible in the event that any payment is not delivered or received pursuant to this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporation provides the refund to the Warrant Agent for distribution to the holder, the Warrant Agent shall return such funds to the holder as soon as reasonably practicable, and in so doing, the Warrant Agent shall incur no liability with respect to the delivery or non-delivery of any such funds.
Termination and Withdrawal After the fifth anniversary of the effective date of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated by a unanimous vote of the Incorporating Parties or their successors or assigns. If the Incorporating Parties vote to terminate this Agreement, they will file with the Commission and the PSC an explanation of their action and a proposal for an alternate plan for the safe, reliable and efficient operation of the NYS Transmission System. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.02, any Party may withdraw from this Agreement upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to the ISO Board. In the case of an Investor-Owned Transmission Owner, no further approval by the Commission is needed for such withdrawal from the ISO Agreement, if such Investor-Owned Transmission Owner has on file with the Commission its own open access transmission tariff. Any modification to this Article shall provide any Party with the right to withdraw from the Agreement pursuant to the unmodified provisions of this Article, within ninety (90) days of the effective date of such modification. If the tax-exempt status of LIPA’s Tax Exempt Bonds are jeopardized by LIPA’s participation in the ISO, LIPA may withdraw from this Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the ISO Board; however, LIPA shall provide earlier notice whenever and as soon as it is reasonably practicable to do so. Any such notice shall contain an explanation in reasonably sufficient detail of the grounds for withdrawal. To the extent reasonably requested by LIPA, the ISO shall treat this explanation as confidential consistent with the ISO’s confidentiality procedures.
