Conditions on Permitted Transfers In the event a Holder proposes to sell or transfer a Note, the Company may, but shall not be required to, impose reasonable conditions on such sale or transfer including, but not limited, to: (i) Notes may be transferred only in whole units, i.e., fractions of Notes may not be transferred; (ii) the transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by this Revenue Sharing Agreement; (iii) the transferor shall provide the Company with an opinion of counsel, satisfactory in form and substance to the Company’s counsel, stating that the transfer is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and other applicable securities laws; and (iv) the transferor and transferee shall together pay in advance for any reasonable expenses the Company expects to incur in connection with the transfer, including attorneys’ fees.
Permitted Transfers The provisions of Section 8.1 shall not apply to (a) a transfer or an assignment of this Lease in connection with the sale of substantially all the original Tenant’s assets if: (I) such sale of assets occurs on an arms’-length basis, to an unrelated third party, and is for a bona fide business purpose and not primarily to transfer Tenant’s interest in this Lease; and (II) upon the consummation of the transfer or assignment, the transferee or assignee is, in the sole, but reasonable determination of Landlord (and its lender, if applicable), capable of satisfying all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder; (b) an assignment of this Lease to a successor to Tenant by merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar corporate restructuring or to an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Tenant; or (c) a subletting of the Premises or any part thereof. In the case of an assignment or sublease that is expressly permitted pursuant to (a) or (c) of this Section 8.3, Tenant shall nevertheless be required to provide Landlord with notice of such assignment or sublease and a true and complete copy of the fully-executed documentation pursuant to which the assignment or sublease, as applicable, has been effectuated within ten (10) business days after the effective date of such assignment or sublease. Any permitted transferee under (a) of this Section 8.3 shall execute and deliver to Landlord any and all documentation reasonably required by Landlord in order to evidence assignee’s assumption of all obligations of Tenant hereunder and to evidence the assignee’s compliance (or ability to comply) with (a)(II) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.3, in no event may Tenant assign, mortgage, transfer, pledge or sublease this Lease to any entity whatsoever if, at the time of such assignment, mortgage, transfer, pledge or sublease, a Default has occurred and remains continuing under this Lease.
Permitted Transactions The Member is free to engage in any activity on its own or by the means of any entity. The Member’s fiduciary duty of loyalty, as it applies to outside business activities and opportunities, and the “corporate opportunity doctrine,” as such doctrine may be described under general corporation law, is hereby eliminated to the maximum extent allowed by the Act.
Conditions to Permitted Transfers A Transfer shall not be treated as a Permitted Transfer under Section 9.2 hereof unless and until the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) The transferor and transferee shall execute and deliver to the Company such documents and instruments of conveyance as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of counsel to the Company to effect such Transfer. The Company shall be reimbursed by the transferor and/or transferee for all costs and expenses that it reasonably incurs in connection with such Transfer.
(b) The transferor and transferee shall furnish the Company with the transferee's taxpayer identification number, sufficient information to determine the transferee's initial tax basis in the Interest transferred, and any other information reasonably necessary to permit the Company to file all required federal and state tax returns and other legally required information statements or returns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to make any distribution otherwise provided for in this Agreement with respect to any transferred Interest until it has received such information.
(c) The transferee of Interests (other than, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) below, a transferee that was a Member prior to the Transfer) shall, by written instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the nontransferring Member (and, in the case of clause (iii) below, the transferor Member), (i) make representations and warranties to the nontransferring Member equivalent to those set forth in Section 6, (ii) accept and adopt the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 9 and Section 11, and (iii) assume the obligations of the transferor Member under this Agreement with respect to the transferred Interest.
(d) The transferor shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder.
Transfers to Permitted Transferees Prior to the transfer of Units to a Permitted Transferee (other than a transfer in connection with or subsequent to a Sale of the Company), the Executive shall deliver to Investors a written agreement of the proposed transferee (a) evidencing such Person's undertaking to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and (b) acknowledging that the Units transferred to such Person will continue to be Units for purposes of this Agreement in the hands of such Person. Any transfer or attempted transfer of Units in violation of any provision of this Agreement or the Securityholders Agreement shall be void, and Investors shall not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Units as the owner of such Units for any purpose.
Certain Permitted Transfers The restrictions in this Section 4 will not apply with respect to any Transfer of Carried Shares made (i) pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution or to such Person’s legal guardian in the case of any mental incapacity or among such Person’s Family Group, (ii) in connection with the Company’s initial Public Offering of the Common Shares upon the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional Common Shares to the extent set forth in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-120444) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2004, as amended, or (iii) at such time as the Investors sell Common Shares to any unaffiliated third party, but in the case of this clause (iii) only an amount of shares (the “Transfer Amount”) equal to the lesser of (A) the number of Vested Shares owned by Executive and (B) the number of Common Shares owned by Executive multiplied by a fraction (the “Transfer Fraction”), the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares sold by the Investors in such sale and the denominator of which is the total number of Common Shares held by the Investors prior to the sale; provided that, if at the time of such sale of Common Shares by the Investors, Executive chooses not to Transfer the Transfer Amount, Executive shall retain the right to Transfer an amount of Common Shares at a future date equal to the lesser of (x) the number of Vested Shares owned by Executive at such future date and (y) the number of Common Shares owned by Executive at such future date multiplied by the Transfer Fraction; provided further that the restrictions contained in this Section 4 will continue to be applicable to the Carried Shares after any Transfer of the type referred to in clause (i) above and the transferees of such Carried Shares must agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. Any transferee of Carried Shares pursuant to a Transfer in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b)(i) is herein referred to as a “Permitted Transferee.” Upon the Transfer of Carried Shares pursuant to this Section 4(b), the transferring holder of Carried Shares will deliver a written notice (a “Transfer Notice”) to the Company. In the case of a Transfer pursuant to clause (i) hereof, the Transfer Notice will disclose in reasonable detail the identity of the Permitted Transferee(s).
Permitted Transfer Notwithstanding anything in this Article 5 to the contrary, Tenant may assign its interest in this Lease or sublease all or any part of the Premises (each a “Permitted Transfer”) to a Permitted Transferee (defined below) with notice to Landlord (delivered prior to the Transfer, or in the event Tenant is prohibited from doing so by Applicable Laws or contractual obligations, then as soon as reasonably practical) but without Landlord’s prior written consent; provided, that (i) with respect to a Permitted Transfer involving an assignment of this Lease, the Permitted Transferee assumes this Lease by a written assumption agreement delivered to Landlord prior to the effective date of such Permitted Transfer (unless such prior delivery is prohibited by Applicable Laws, in which event Tenant shall deliver such assumption agreement as soon as allowed), (ii) the Permitted Transferee shall use the Premises only for the Permitted Use, (iii) the use of the Premises by the Permitted Transferee shall not violate any other agreements or leases affecting the Property, (iv) the occurrence of a Permitted Transfer shall not waive Landlord’s rights as to any subsequent Transfer, (v) the Permitted Transferee shall satisfy the Credit Requirement (defined below), and (vi) Tenant shall have given Landlord written notice at least thirty (30) day before such Transfer (unless such notice is prohibited by applicable Law, in which event Tenant shall give such notice within ten days following such Transfer). As used herein, (A) “Affiliate” means any person or entity who or which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant, (ii) a corporation or other entity which shall be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Tenant, (iii) the parent corporation or other entity that wholly owns Tenant, or (iv) a subsidiary of such parent corporation or other entity that wholly owns Tenant, or a corporation or other entity having a majority of its ownership in common with the ownership of Tenant, or (v) a Successor corporation, limited liability company or other entity; (B) “Successor” means any (i) business entity in which or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated in accordance with applicable statutory provisions governing merger and consolidation of business entities, so long as Tenant’s obligations under this Lease are assumed by the Successor, or (ii) the successor or surviving corporation or other entity in the event of a merger or consolidation of the Tenant with another corporation, so long as Tenant’s obligations under this Lease are assumed by the Successor; (C) “Purchaser” means any person or entity who or which acquires all or substantially all of the assets or equity interests of Tenant; (D) “Permitted Transferee” means an Affiliate, Successor or Purchaser. The “Credit Requirement” shall be deemed satisfied if, as of the effective date of the Permitted Transfer, the resulting tenant under this Lease meets or exceeds all of following minimum criteria immediately following the Transfer: (i) cash on hand equal to at least Two Billion Dollars ($2,000,000,000) according to the Permitted Transferee’s most recent financial statement, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), (ii) outstanding debt of not more than sixty (60%) of the Permitted Transferee’s available cash on hand (as determined pursuant to the foregoing subsection (i) according to the Permitted Transferee’s most recent financial statement, determined in accordance with GAAP, and (iii) a market capitalization equal to at least Five Billion Three Hundred Million Dollars ($5,300,000,000).
