Change of Control Offer If a Change of Control Triggering Event (defined below) occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Securities as provided for herein, the Company shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each holder of the Securities to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that holder’s Securities on the terms set forth herein. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities repurchased to the date of repurchase (a “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control (defined below), but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed to holders of the Securities a notice describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Securities on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. In order to accept any Change of Control Offer, a holder shall be required to comply with instructions for tendering contained in the Company’s notice of such Change of Control Offer as well as the applicable procedures of the Depositary. On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: (i) accept for payment all Securities or portions of such Securities properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities or portions of such Securities properly tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities or portions of such Securities being repurchased. On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall pay, from funds deposited by the Company for such purpose, to each holder of Securities properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Securities, and the Trustee will authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of such holder’s Securities surrendered. The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and the third party purchases all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Securities if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act or any other securities laws or regulations thereunder that are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions hereof, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities by virtue of any such conflict. For purposes of the Change of Control Offer, the following have the meanings ascribed to them as set forth below:
Asset Sales The Parent Borrower will not, and will not permit any of the Subsidiaries to, sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any asset, including any Equity Interest owned by it, nor will the Parent Borrower permit any of the Subsidiaries to issue any additional Equity Interest in such Subsidiary, except:
(a) sales of inventory, used or surplus equipment and Permitted Investments in the ordinary course of business;
(b) sales, transfers and dispositions to the Parent Borrower or a Subsidiary, provided that any such sales, transfers or dispositions involving a Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Loan Party shall be made in compliance with Section 6.09;
(c) sale and leaseback transactions permitted by Section 6.06;
(d) sales, transfers and other dispositions of assets (other than Equity Interests in a Subsidiary) that are not permitted by any other clause of this Section, provided that the aggregate fair market value of all assets sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in reliance upon this clause (c) shall not exceed $25,000,000 during any fiscal year of the Parent Borrower or $50,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement;
(e) licenses and sublicenses of intellectual property rights, granted in the ordinary course of business and not interfering individually or in the aggregate in any material respect with the conduct of the business of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries; and
(f) trade-ins, trade-ups and other similar exchanges of equipment of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries for other equipment to be used in the business of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries made in the ordinary course of business; provided that all sales, transfers, leases and other dispositions permitted hereby (other than those permitted by clause (b) above) shall be made for fair value and (other than those permitted by clause (b) or (f) above) for consideration at least 85% of which is cash.
Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds In the event that the Issuers shall be required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes pursuant to Section 4.11 (an “Asset Sale Offer”), they shall follow the procedures specified below. The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuers shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.11 (the “Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. Unless the Issuers default in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date. If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no Special Interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer the Issuers shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state:
(a) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.11 and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer shall remain open;
(b) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;
(c) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest;
(d) that, unless the Issuers default in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;
(e) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in multiple integrals of $1,000 in excess thereof only;
(f) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer the Note by book-entry transfer, to the Issuers, the Depositary or the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;
(g) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuers, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;
(h) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Issuers shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuers so that only Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and
(i) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer). On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuers shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuers in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Issuers, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuers for purchase, and the Issuers shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuers, shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuers to the Holder thereof. The Issuers shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date. Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06.
Final Disposition Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.
Dispositions and Involuntary Dispositions Subject to Section 2.06(b)(ii)(D) and the terms set forth in any applicable Incremental Amendment, Extension Amendment, Refinancing Amendment or Replacement Amendment, the Borrower will prepay the Term Loans (if any) on the fifth Business Day following receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received from any Disposition pursuant Section 8.05(b) or any Involuntary Disposition by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that if (x) the Borrower delivers, no later than the last day of such five Business Day period following receipt, a certificate of a Responsible Officer to the Administrative Agent setting forth the Borrower’s intent to reinvest such proceeds in assets useful in the business of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and (y) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such certificate or at the proposed time of the application of such proceeds, and such proceeds shall not be required to be applied to prepay the Term Loans except to the extent such proceeds are not so reinvested within (A) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (B) if the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within twelve (12) months following receipt thereof, the later of (I) twelve (12) months following receipt thereof and (II) one hundred eighty (180) days after the end of such 12-month period.
Asset Sale The Company or the Parent shall not and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, in one or a series of related transactions, convey, sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of their property, business or assets, including by merger or consolidation (in the case of a Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary), and including any sale or other transfer or issuance of any Equity Interests of any Subsidiary, whether by the Company or the Parent or one of their respective Subsidiaries or through the issuance, sale or transfer of Equity Interests by one of their respective Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries and including any sale and leaseback transaction (any of the foregoing, an "Asset Sale"), unless: (1) at least 75% of the total consideration for such Asset Sale or series of related Asset Sales consists of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided, that with respect to the sale of one or more hotel properties, up to 75% of the consideration may consist of Indebtedness of the purchaser of such hotel properties so long as such Indebtedness is secured by a first priority Lien on the hotel property or properties sold; (2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of, or would occur after giving effect, on a pro forma basis, to such Asset Sale; and (3) the Parent and the Company determine in good faith that the consideration received by the Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, equals the fair market value for such Asset Sale. In the event and to the extent that immediately following any Asset Sale the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Company or the Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries from such Asset Sale, plus the Net Cash Proceeds of any other Asset Sale(s) which occurred (i) on or after the Issue Date and (ii) within the 360-day period proceeding such Asset Sale, exceed 10% of Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, the Indenture provides that within 360 days following such Asset Sale, the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom (the "Asset Sale Amount") shall be: (1) invested in assets and property (except in connection with the acquisition of a Subsidiary which is a Guarantor in a Related Business, other than notes, bonds, obligation and securities) which shall immediately constitute or be a part of a Related Business of the Company or the Parent or such Subsidiary (if it continues to be a Subsidiary) immediately following such transaction, or (2) used to retire Indebtedness incurred under the Credit Agreement and to permanently reduce the amount of such Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.7(b) of the Indenture. Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds, the Company or the Parent may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture. The accumulated Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales not applied as set forth above shall constitute "Excess Proceeds." Within 30 days after the date that the amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10 million, which date shall not be prior to 390 days after the Asset Sale that generated such Excess Proceeds, the Company shall apply an amount (the "Asset Sale Offer Amount") equal to the Excess Proceeds to the repurchase of the Notes and such other Indebtedness ranking on a parity with the Notes and with provisions requiring the Company to make an offer to purchase such Indebtedness with the proceeds from such Asset Sale pursuant to a cash offer (subject only to conditions required by applicable law, if any) (pro rata in proportion to the respective principal amounts (or accreted values in the case of Indebtedness issued with an original issue discount) of the Notes and such other Indebtedness then outstanding) (the "Asset Sale Offer") at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value in the case of Indebtedness issued with an original issue discount) (the "Asset Sale Offer Price") together with accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of payment. Each Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for 20 Business Days following its commencement (the "Asset Sale Offer Period").
