No Change in Recommendation or Alternative Acquisition Agreement The board of directors of the Company and each committee thereof shall not:
Limited Condition Acquisition For purposes of (i) determining compliance with any ratio or test (including, without limitation, the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the amount available under the Available Amount), (ii) determining compliance with representations, warranties, defaults or events of default or (iii) testing availability under the baskets (including, without limitation, baskets measured as a percentage of total assets), in each case, in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition permitted under this Agreement, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, a “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”), and, compliance with such ratio, test or basket shall be determined after giving Pro Forma Effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCA Test Date. If the Borrower has made a LCA Election, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio, test or basket on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition expires or is terminated without the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis both (1) assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated until such time as the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition has actually closed or the definitive agreement with respect thereto has expired or been terminated and (2) assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds thereof) have not been consummated.
Permitted Acquisition Prior to consummation of a Permitted Acquisition, the Borrower shall have delivered to Lender complete and correct copies of each document and agreement executed in connection therewith (collectively, the “Permitted Acquisition Documents”), including all schedules and exhibits thereto. The Permitted Acquisition Documents shall set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Borrower and the parties thereto relating to the subject matter thereof, and there will be no other agreements, arrangements or understandings, written or oral, relating to the matters covered thereby. Borrower shall have the power, and shall have taken all necessary action (including, any necessary member or comparable owner action) to authorize it, to execute, deliver and perform in accordance with their respective terms the Permitted Acquisition Documents to which it is a party. Each of the Permitted Acquisition Documents will have been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and, to Borrower’s knowledge, each of the other parties thereto and will be the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower and to Borrower’s knowledge, such other parties, enforceable against Borrower and to Borrower’s knowledge, such other parties in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. The execution, delivery and performance of the Permitted Acquisition Documents in accordance with their respective terms will not require any governmental approval or any other consent or approval, other than governmental approvals and other consents and approvals that have been obtained. All conditions precedent to the Permitted Acquisition pursuant to the Permitted Acquisition Documents shall have been fulfilled in all material respects and, as of the date of the consummation of the Permitted Acquisition, the Permitted Acquisition Documents shall not have been amended or otherwise modified and there shall not be any breach by the Borrower or, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other party thereto, of any term or condition of the Permitted Acquisition Documents. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Permitted Acquisition Documents to be consummated at the closing thereunder, the Borrower shall acquire good and legal title to the stock or assets and other property being transferred pursuant to the Permitted Acquisition Documents. None of the foregoing shall in any manner obligate the Borrower or any Subsidiary to consummate any Permitted Acquisition and the foregoing representation shall only apply if, when and to the extent that a Permitted Acquisition is consummated and the Permitted Acquisition Documents are executed and delivered.”
Mergers, Acquisitions, Sales, etc The Borrower will not be a party to any merger or consolidation, or purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all of the assets or any stock of any class of, or any partnership or joint venture interest in, any other Person, or, sell, transfer, convey or lease all or any substantial part of its assets, or sell or assign with or without recourse any Loan, Contracts, Related Security or other Collateral or any interest therein (other than pursuant to and in accordance with the Transaction Documents).
Limited Condition Acquisitions Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, when calculating any applicable ratio or any basket based on Consolidated EBITDA or total assets, or determining other compliance with this Agreement (including the determination of compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom, but excluding Section 4.02 to the extent set forth therein) in connection with a Specified Transaction undertaken in connection with the consummation of a Limited Condition Acquisition, the date of determination of such ratio or any basket based on Consolidated EBITDA or total assets, and determination of whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom or other applicable covenant shall, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”) and if, after such ratios and other provisions are measured on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other Specified Transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratios and provisions, such provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with; provided that no such acquisition shall constitute a Limited Condition Acquisition unless the Payment Conditions are satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis on the applicable LCA Test Date. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any of such ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition, such ratios and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder and (y) such ratios and other provisions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related Specified Transactions. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to any other Specified Transaction on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.
Notification of Unsolicited Acquisition Proposals (i) As promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 48 hours) after the first officer or director of the Company becomes aware of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information or inquiry which the Board reasonably believes would lead to an Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall provide to Parent oral and written notice of the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, and the identity of the person or group making any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and a copy of all written materials provided in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry. The Company shall provide to Parent as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 48 hours thereafter) oral and written notice setting forth all such information as is reasonably necessary to keep Parent informed in all material respects of the status and details (including material amendments or proposed material amendments) of any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and shall promptly provide to Parent a copy of all written materials subsequently provided in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry (to the extent such nonpublic information has not been previously so furnished).
Hostile Acquisitions Directly or indirectly use the proceeds of any Loan in connection with the acquisition of part or all of a voting interest of five percent (5%) or more in any corporation or other business entity if such acquisition is opposed by the board of directors of such corporation or business entity.
