Appraisal Procedure For determining the Fair Market Sales Value of the Properties or any other amount which may, pursuant to any provision of any Operative Agreement, be determined by an appraisal procedure, Lessor and Lessee shall use the following procedure (the "Appraisal Procedure"). Lessor and Lessee shall endeavor to reach a mutual agreement as to such amount for a period of ten (10) days from commencement of the Appraisal Procedure under the applicable section of the Lease, and if they cannot agree within ten (10) days, then two (2) qualified appraisers, one (1) chosen by Lessee and one (1) chosen by Lessor, shall mutually agree thereupon, but if either party shall fail to choose an appraiser within twenty (20) days after notice from the other party of the selection of its appraiser, then the appraisal by such appointed appraiser shall be binding on Lessee and Lessor. If the two (2) appraisers cannot agree within twenty (20) days after both shall have been appointed, then a third appraiser shall be selected by the two (2) appraisers or, failing agreement as to such third appraiser within thirty (30) days after both shall have been appointed, by the American Arbitration Association. The decisions of the three (3) appraisers shall be given within twenty (20) days of the appointment of the third appraiser and the decision of the appraiser most different from the average of the other two (2) shall be discarded and such average shall be binding on Lessor and Lessee; provided, that if the highest appraisal and the lowest appraisal are equidistant from the third appraisal, the third appraisal shall be binding on Lessor and Lessee. The fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by Lessee shall be paid by Lessee; the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by Lessor shall be paid by Lessor (such fees and expenses not being indemnified pursuant to Section 11 of the Participation Agreement); and the fees and expenses of the third appraiser shall be divided equally between Lessee and Lessor.
Appraisal Rights Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares (the “Appraisal Shares”) of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(b), but instead such holder shall be entitled to payment of the “fair value” of such shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262. At the Effective Time, the Appraisal Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Appraisal Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Pre-Merger Special Dividend, any dividends in accordance with Section 2.02(c) and the right to receive the “fair value” of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal under Section 262 or a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262, then the right of such holder to be paid the “fair value” of such holder’s Appraisal Shares under Section 262 shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall cease to be Appraisal Shares and be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(b), without any interest thereon. The Company shall give prompt written notice to Parent of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL received by the Company, and Parent shall have the right to participate in negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do or commit to do any of the foregoing.
Additional Provision Each party hereby agrees that the Confirmation and thus the Assigned Transaction are each hereby amended as follows:
Waiver of Appraisal Rights Each Stockholder hereby waives any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger.
Waiver of Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights and Actions Stockholder hereby (i) waives and agrees not to exercise any rights (including under Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) to demand appraisal of any Company Shares Beneficially Owned by Stockholder or rights to dissent from the Merger which may arise with respect to the Merger and (ii) agrees not to commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or other Proceeding, against Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company or any of their respective successors relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or the making or consummation of the Offer or consummation of the Merger, including any Proceeding (x) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or (y) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.
Waiver of Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights Stockholder hereby waives, and agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that Stockholder may have by virtue of ownership of the Shares.
Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights To the extent required by Section 262 of the Delaware Act, each certificate formerly representing Acquiror Common Stock owned by holders thereof who have validly elected to dissent from the Merger pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware Act shall thereafter only represent the right to receive fair value for their Acquiror Common Stock in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware Act, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the Delaware Act, shares of Acquiror Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and that are held by holders thereof who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal or dissenters’ rights for such Acquiror Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware Act, and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the Delaware Act relevant to the exercise and perfection of appraisal rights, shall not be converted into, and such holders shall have no right to receive, the applicable per share Merger consideration unless and until such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under the Delaware Act. Any holder of Acquiror Common Stock who fails to perfect or who effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its rights to appraisal of such Acquiror Common Stock under Section 262 of the Delaware Act, shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Merger Effective Time, the right to receive the applicable per share Merger consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, if applicable, in the manner provided in this Section 2.4, of the certificate or certificates that formerly evidenced such Acquiror Common Stock.
