Deposit of Merger Consideration (a) Prior to the Effective Time, CenterState shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent (A) the number of shares of CenterState Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.01(c) in book-entry form equal to the aggregate CenterState Common Stock portion of the Merger Consideration (excluding any fractional shares), and (B) cash in an amount sufficient to pay (1) the Cash Consideration and (2) to the extent then determinable, any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.04 (collectively, the “Exchange Fund”).
(b) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of Charter for one (1) year after the Effective Time (as well as any interest or proceeds from any investment thereof) shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to CenterState. Any stockholders of Charter who have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.07 and Section 2.08(a) shall thereafter look only to CenterState for the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of CenterState Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor, and any dividends or distributions to which such Holder shall have become entitled to pursuant to Section 2.08(b) deliverable in respect of each share of Charter Common Stock such stockholder held as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case without any interest thereon. If outstanding Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for shares of Charter Common Stock are not surrendered or the payment for them is not claimed prior to the date on which such shares of CenterState Common Stock or cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any governmental unit or agency, the unclaimed items shall, to the extent permitted by the law of abandoned property and any other applicable Law, become the property of CenterState (and to the extent not in its possession shall be delivered to it), free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled to such property. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any Party shall be liable to any Holder represented by any Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any Merger Consideration (or any dividends or distributions with respect thereto) paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. CenterState and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of Charter to establish the identity of those Persons entitled to receive the Merger Consideration specified in this Agreement, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of any shares of Charter Common Stock represented by any Certificate or Book-Entry Share, CenterState and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to tender to the custody of any court of competent jurisdiction any Merger Consideration represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share and file legal proceedings interpleading all parties to such dispute, and will thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

(ii) The applicable Reinsurer shall transfer to the applicable PICA FSS Trust Account Authorized Investments such that, after giving effect to the transfers contemplated by Section 2.3(b)(i), the aggregate Book Value (as defined in the PICA FSS Reinsurance Agreements) in each such PICA FSS Trust Account is equal to the Required Balance (as defined in the PICA FSS Reinsurance Agreements) as of the Effective Time for the applicable PICA FSS Reinsurance Agreement as reflected on the Estimated Reinsurance Settlement Statement; and

Any investment assets to be transferred to a PICA FSS Trust Account shall be transferred in the manner set forth in the applicable PICA FSS Trust Agreement. All third-party costs or expenses incurred (whether prior to, on or following the Closing Date), including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in connection with the transfers of assets to the PICA FSS Trust Accounts or the Reinsurers (including any re-registrations or re-titling thereof) as contemplated by Section 2.3(b)(i) and this Section 2.3(d) shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Buyer.

SUBJECT TO CERTAIN FURTHER RESTRICTIONS AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE CORPORATION’S CHARTER, (I) NO PERSON MAY BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF THE CORPORATION’S COMMON STOCK IN EXCESS OF % (IN VALUE OR NUMBER OF SHARES) OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF THE CORPORATION UNLESS SUCH PERSON IS AN EXCEPTED HOLDER (IN WHICH CASE THE EXCEPTED HOLDER LIMIT SHALL BE APPLICABLE); (II) NO PERSON MAY BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION IN EXCESS OF % OF THE VALUE OF THE TOTAL OUTSTANDING SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION, UNLESS SUCH PERSON IS AN EXCEPTED HOLDER (IN WHICH CASE THE EXCEPTED HOLDER LIMIT SHALL BE APPLICABLE); (III) NO PERSON MAY BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN CAPITAL STOCK THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE CORPORATION BEING “CLOSELY HELD” UNDER SECTION 856(h) OF THE CODE OR OTHERWISE CAUSE THE CORPORATION TO FAIL TO QUALIFY AS A REIT; AND (IV) NO PERSON MAY TRANSFER SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK IF SUCH TRANSFER WOULD RESULT IN THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION BEING OWNED BY FEWER THAN 100 PERSONS. ANY PERSON WHO BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWNS OR ATTEMPTS TO BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK WHICH CAUSES OR WILL CAUSE A PERSON TO BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK IN EXCESS OR IN VIOLATION OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MUST IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY THE CORPORATION.

(b) The Surviving Entity (or its successor in interest) shall not be liable to any holder of SPE LLC Interests for any portion of the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.
(c) So long as some portion of the Merger Consideration is in the form of OP Units, the parties hereto intend and agree that, for United States federal income tax purposes, the Merger shall constitute an “assets-over” partnership merger within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(c)(3)(i), and, as a result, that (i) any payment of cash or REIT Shares for SPE LLC Interests of such holder shall be treated as a sale of such SPE LLC Interests by the holder and a purchase of such SPE LLC Interests by the Operating Partnership for the cash and/or REIT Shares so paid under the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(c)(4), and (ii) each such holder of SPE LLC Interests who accepts cash and/or REIT Shares shall explicitly agree and consent (the “Sale Consent”) to such treatment in their Consent Form as a condition to electing such consideration. To the extent the Operating Partnership acquires any SPE LLC Interests as described above, or previously acquired such interests, for United States federal income tax purposes the receipt by the Operating Partnership of the portion of property attributable to such SPE LLC Interests shall be treated as a distribution by the SPE LLC in redemption of such SPE LLC Interests. Notwithstanding Section 1.05(b) and any holder’s election as to the form of their Merger Consideration, if any holder (other than a non-accredited investor) fails to execute a Sale Consent prior to the Closing, such holder’s Merger Consideration shall consist solely of OP Units. Any cash paid as the Merger Consideration to a non-accredited investor for a SPE LLC Interests shall be paid only after the receipt of a Sale Consent from such holder.

(b) If on the Designated Event Repurchase Date or the Repurchase Date the Paying Agent holds funds sufficient to pay the repurchase price of the Debentures that Holders have elected to require the Company to repurchase in accordance with Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be, then, on and after the Designated Event Repurchase Date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, such Exchangeable Debentures will cease to be outstanding, interest on such Exchangeable Debentures will cease to accrue and all other rights of the Holders of such Exchangeable Debentures will terminate, other than the right to receive the repurchase price upon delivery or book-entry transfer of the Exchangeable Debenture. This will be the case whether or not book-entry transfer of the Exchangeable Debenture has been made or the Exchangeable Debenture has been delivered to the Paying Agent.
No Claim Regarding Stock Ownership or Consideration There must not have been made or threatened by any Person any claim asserting that such Person (a) is the holder of, or has the right to acquire or to obtain beneficial ownership of the Shares or any other stock, voting, equity, or ownership interest in, the Company, or (b) is entitled to all or any portion of the Acquiror Company Shares.
Cash Payments in Lieu of Fractional Shares No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of Notes. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares that shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. If any fractional share of stock would be issuable upon the conversion of any Note or Notes, the Company shall make an adjustment and payment therefor in cash at the current market price thereof to the holder of Notes. The current market price of a share of Common Stock shall be the Closing Price on the last Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the Notes (or specified portions thereof) are deemed to have been converted.
Adjustment of Merger Consideration If, subsequent to the date of this Agreement but prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Common Stock 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, split, combination, exchange, recapitalization or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted.
Effect of Reorganization Etc Adjustment of Exercise Price 3.1 In the event of any capital reorganization or reclassification not otherwise covered in Section 4, or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or in the case of any statutory exchange of securities with another corporation (including any exchange effected in connection with a merger of a third corporation into the Company), the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive on the exercise of this Warrant the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and in any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in Section 4 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions set forth in Section 4 shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of this Warrant. The above provisions of this Section 3 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, statutory exchanges, sales or conveyances.
3.2 If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3, the Holder shall become entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company (whose determination shall be conclusive) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Per Share Exercise Price between or among shares or such classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and other capital stock.
