Parent Common Stock At and after the Effective Time, each share of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain an issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and shall not be affected by the Merger.
Registration of the Common Stock The Company agrees that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the closing of its initial Business Combination, it shall use its best efforts to file with the Commission a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If any such registration statement has not been declared effective by the 60th Business Day following the closing of the Business Combination, holders of the Warrants shall have the right, during the period beginning on the 61st Business Day after the closing of the Business Combination and ending upon such registration statement being declared effective by the Commission, and during any other period when the Company shall fail to have maintained an effective registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis,” by exchanging the Warrants (in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act (or any successor rule) or another exemption) for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the Warrant Price and the “Fair Market Value” (as defined below) by (y) the Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this subsection 7.4.1, “Fair Market Value” shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the date that notice of exercise is received by the Warrant Agent from the holder of such Warrants or its securities broker or intermediary. The date that notice of cashless exercise is received by the Warrant Agent shall be conclusively determined by the Warrant Agent. In connection with the “cashless exercise” of a Public Warrant, the Company shall, upon request, provide the Warrant Agent with an opinion of counsel for the Company (which shall be an outside law firm with securities law experience) stating that (i) the exercise of the Warrants on a cashless basis in accordance with this subsection 7.4.1 is not required to be registered under the Securities Act and (ii) the shares of Common Stock issued upon such exercise shall be freely tradable under United States federal securities laws by anyone who is not an affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor statute)) of the Company and, accordingly, shall not be required to bear a restrictive legend. Except as provided in subsection 7.4.2, for the avoidance of any doubt, unless and until all of the Warrants have been exercised or have expired, the Company shall continue to be obligated to comply with its registration obligations under the first three sentences of this subsection 7.4.1.
Conversion of Company Common Stock Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.05 and subject to Sections 2.01(d), 2.01(e) and 2.03(e), each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01(b)) shall be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof, one of the following (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.05, the "Merger Consideration"): (i) for each such share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive Parent Shares has been effectively made, and not revoked or lost, pursuant to Section 2.04 (a "Share Election") and for each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which a Share Election is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 2.04(d), the right to receive consideration (the "Share Consideration") equal to .1490 fully paid and nonassessable Parent Shares (the "Exchange Ratio"); and (ii) for each such share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash has been effectively made, and not revoked or lost, pursuant to Section 2.04 (a "Cash Election") and for each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which a Cash Election is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 2.04(d), the right to receive $1.95 in cash (the "Cash Consideration"). At the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock converted as set forth above shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (the "Certificates") shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration, certain dividends or other distributions in accordance with Section 2.03(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional share in accordance with Section 2.03(e) upon the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.03(b), without interest.
Conversion of Company Preferred Stock (i) Each issued and outstanding share of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company ("Company Series A Convertible Preferred Stock), other than shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(a), together with the Rights attached thereto, shall be converted into the right to receive one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Series I Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of Parent ("Parent Convertible Preferred Stock"). Each share of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock shall have terms that are substantially identical to the terms of Company Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, provided that (A) as a result of the Merger the issuer thereof shall be Parent rather than the Company, (B) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which each share of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible (at the same times and subject to the same terms and conditions under which Company Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time) shall equal 26.31579 (which number shall be subject to adjustment under the same circumstances, in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in the existing Certificate of Designation relating to the Company Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) times the Exchange Ratio and (C) each share of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock, when voting together with the Parent Common Stock (and any other shares of capital stock of Parent at the time entitled to vote) as a single class, shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which one share of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock will be convertible immediately following the Merger. (ii) Each issued and outstanding share of 8.08% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series D, of the Company ("Company 8.08% Preferred Stock"), other than shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(a), shall be converted into the right to receive one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of 8.08% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series J, of Parent ("Parent 8.08% Preferred Stock"). Each share of Parent 8.08% Preferred Stock shall have terms that are substantially identical to Company 8.08% Preferred Stock, provided that (A) as a result of the Merger the issuer thereof shall be Parent rather than the Company and (B) each share of Parent 8.08% Preferred Stock shall be entitled to three votes per share, voting together as a class with the Parent Common Stock (and any other shares of capital stock of Parent at the time entitled to vote), on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of Parent, and shall be entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which the Company 8.08% Preferred Stock is entitled to vote, voting together as a class with any other shares of preferred stock of Parent at the time entitled to vote. (iii) Each issued and outstanding share of 8.40% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series E, of the Company ("Company 8.40% Preferred Stock," and together with Company Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Company 8.08% Preferred Stock, "Company Preferred Stock"), other than shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(a), shall be converted into the right to receive one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of 8.40% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series K, of Parent ("Parent 8.40% Preferred Stock," and together with Parent Convertible Preferred Stock and Parent 8.08% Preferred Stock, "Parent New Preferred Stock"). Each share of Parent 8.40% Preferred Stock shall have terms that are substantially identical to Company 8.40% Preferred Stock, provided that (A) as a result of the Merger the issuer thereof shall be Parent rather than the Company and (B) each share of Parent 8.40% Preferred Stock shall be entitled to three votes per share, voting together as a class with the Parent Common Stock (and any other shares of capital stock of Parent at the time entitled to vote), on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of Parent, and shall be entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which the Company 8.40% Preferred Stock is entitled to vote, voting together as a class with any other shares of preferred stock of Parent at the time entitled to vote.
Reservation and Availability of Shares of Preferred Stock (a) The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock or out of authorized and issued shares of Preferred Stock held in its treasury, such number of shares of Preferred Stock as will from time to time be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Rights. (b) The Company shall use its best efforts to cause, from and after such time as the Rights become exercisable, all shares of Preferred Stock issued or reserved for issuance in accordance with this Agreement to be listed, upon official notice of issuance, upon the principal national securities exchange, if any, upon which the Common Stock is listed or, if the principal market for the Common Stock is not on any national securities exchange, to be eligible for quotation in the National Association of Securities Dealers' Automated Quotation System or any successor thereto or other comparable quotation system. (c) The Company covenants and agrees that it will take all such action as may be necessary to insure that all shares of Preferred Stock delivered upon exercise of Rights shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such shares (subject to payment of the Exercise Price in respect thereof), be duly and validly authorized and issued and fully paid and nonassessable shares. (d) The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) file, as soon as practicable following the occurrence of the event described in Section 11(a)(ii), or as soon as is required by law following the Distribution Date, as the case may be, a registration statement under the Act, with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Rights on an appropriate form, (ii) cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing, and (iii) cause such registration statement to remain effective (with a prospectus at all times meeting the requirements of the Act) until the earlier of (a) the date as of which the Rights are no longer exercisable for Preferred Stock, and (b) the earlier of the Expiration Date and the Final Expiration Date. The Company may temporarily suspend, for a period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days, the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock upon exercise of a Right in order to prepare and file a registration statement under the Act and permit it to become effective. The Company will also take such action as may be appropriate under, or to ensure compliance with, the securities or "blue sky" laws of the various states in connection with the exercisability of the Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Rights shall not be exercisable in any jurisdiction unless the requisite qualification in such jurisdiction shall have been obtained and until a registration statement under the Act (if required) shall have been declared effective. (e) The Company covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all federal and state Transfer Taxes which may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Right Certificates or of any shares of Preferred Stock issued or delivered upon the exercise of Rights. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any Transfer Tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer or delivery of a Right Certificate to a Person other than, or the issuance or delivery of certificates for Preferred Stock upon exercise of Rights in a name other than that of, the registered holder of the Right Certificate, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver a Right Certificate or certificate for Preferred Stock to a Person other than such registered holder until any such Transfer Tax shall have been paid (any such Transfer Tax being payable by the holder of such Right Certificate at the time of surrender) or until it has been established to the Company's satisfaction that no such Transfer Tax is due.

All such shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Company Capital Stock”) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each Certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such shares shall thereafter represent the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration payable therefor. Certificates previously representing shares of Company Capital Stock shall be exchanged for the portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such Certificates upon the surrender of such Certificates in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1.
Availability of Shares of Preferred Stock (a) The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock or any shares of Preferred Stock held in its treasury, the number of shares of Preferred Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Rights. (b) So long as the shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of Rights may be listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, or quoted on NASDAQ, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause, from and after such time as the Rights become exercisable, all shares reserved for such issuance to be listed or admitted to trading on such exchange, or quoted on NASDAQ, upon official notice of issuance upon such exercise. (c) From and after such time as the Rights become exercisable, the Company shall use its best efforts, if then necessary to permit the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock upon the exercise of Rights, to register and qualify such shares of Preferred Stock under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or "Blue Sky" laws (to the extent exemptions therefrom are not available), cause such registration statement and qualifications to become effective as soon as possible after such filing and keep such registration and qualifications effective (with a prospectus at all times meeting the requirements of the Securities Act) until the earlier of the date as of which the Rights are no longer exercisable for such securities and the Expiration Date. The Company may temporarily suspend, for a period of time not to exceed 90 days, the exercisability of the Rights in order to prepare and file a registration statement under the Securities Act and permit it to become effective. Upon any such suspension, the Company shall issue a public announcement stating that the exercisability of the Rights has been temporarily suspended, as well as a public announcement at such time as the suspension is no longer in effect. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Rights shall not be exercisable in any jurisdiction unless the requisite qualification in such jurisdiction shall have been obtained and until a registration statement under the Securities Act shall have been declared effective, unless an exemption therefrom is available. (d) The Company covenants and agrees that it will take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that all shares of Preferred Stock delivered upon exercise of Rights shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates therefor (subject to payment of the Purchase Price), be duly and validly authorized and issued and fully paid and nonassessable shares. (e) The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all federal and state transfer taxes and charges which may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Right Certificates or of any shares of Preferred Stock upon the exercise of Rights. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any transfer tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer or delivery of Right Certificates to a Person other than, or the issuance or delivery of certificates or depositary receipts for the Preferred Stock in a name other than that of, the registered holder of the Right Certificate evidencing Rights surrendered for exercise or to issue or deliver any certificates or depositary receipts for Preferred Stock upon the exercise of any Rights until any such tax shall have been paid (any such tax being payable by that holder of such Right Certificate at the time of surrender) or until it has been established to the Company's reasonable satisfaction that no such tax is due.
