Actions Each Lender hereby appoints National City as its Agent under and for purposes of this Agreement, the Notes and each other Loan Document. Each Lender authorizes the Agent to act on behalf of such Lender under this Agreement, the Notes and each other Loan Document and, in the absence of other written instructions from the Required Lenders received from time to time by the Agent (with respect to which the Agent agrees that it will comply, except as otherwise provided in this Section or as otherwise advised by counsel), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender hereby indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) the Agent, pro rata according to such Lender’s Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Notes and any other Loan Document, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and as to which the Agent is not reimbursed by the Borrower; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final proceeding to have resulted solely from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document, unless it is indemnified hereunder to its satisfaction. If any indemnity in favor of the Agent shall be or become, in the Agent’s determination, inadequate, the Agent may call for additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given.

(d) Upon the terms and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent and the Company agree, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries, to cooperate and to use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain any Consents of any Governmental Entity, and to make any registrations, declarations, notices or filings, if any, necessary for Closing under the HSR Act, and any other Federal, state or foreign Law designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions for the purpose or effect of monopolization, restraint of trade or regulation of foreign investment (collectively, “Antitrust Laws”), to respond to any requests of any Governmental Entity for information under any Antitrust Law, to secure the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, to resolve any objections asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby raised by any Governmental Entity and to contest and resist any action, including any legislative, administrative or judicial action, and to prevent the entry of any court order and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that restricts, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the Merger or any other transactions contemplated hereby under any Antitrust Law.

(f) For the purposes of this Section 6.03, “reasonable best efforts” shall include taking any and all actions necessary to obtain the Consents of any Governmental Entity (including the FCC Consents, PSC Consents and Local Consents) required to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby prior to the End Date; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall permit the Company or the Company Subsidiaries (without the prior written consent of Parent) or require Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries to take or refrain from taking, or agree to take or refrain from taking, any action or actions that, individually or in the aggregate, would be reasonably likely to have a either a Parent Material Adverse Effect or Company Material Adverse Effect (each a “Burdensome Condition”). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any request or consent of Parent to do so, in no event shall the Company or the Company Subsidiaries be required to submit to a Burdensome Condition unless such Burdensome Condition is conditioned in all respects upon the consummation of the Merger and will not be effective for any purpose until after the Effective Time, and any such Burdensome Condition imposed on the Company or the Company Subsidiaries at the request of or with the consent of Parent shall not affect any representation or warranty of the Company under this Agreement or any condition under Section 7.01 or Section 7.03 to the obligation of Parent and Merger Sub to effect the Merger.
Permitted Actions Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement (including Section 5.1(i) or 5.2) to the contrary, the parties hereby agree to the matters set forth on Annex A hereto. The parties shall reasonably cooperate with respect to such matters.
Indemnification in Third Party Proceedings Subject to Section 10 below, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the Code, as the same may be amended from time to time (but, only to the extent that such amendment permits Indemnitee to broader indemnification rights than the Code permitted prior to adoption of such amendment), if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any proceeding, for any and all expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such proceeding.
Quorum and Action (a) The Trustees shall set forth in the Bylaws the quorum required for the transaction of business by the Shareholders at a meeting, which quorum shall in no event be less than Shares representing thirty percent (30%) of the voting power of the Shares entitled to vote at such meeting. If a quorum is present when a duly called and held meeting is convened, the Shareholders present may continue to transact business until adjournment, even though the withdrawal of a number of Shareholders originally present leaves less than the proportion or number otherwise required for a quorum.
(b) The Shareholders shall take action by the affirmative vote of the holders of Shares entitled to vote and representing a majority of votes cast at a meeting of Shareholders at which a quorum is present, except in the case of the election of Trustees which shall only require a plurality and except as may be otherwise required by applicable law or any provision of this Declaration or the Bylaws.
Board Actions Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt appropriate resolutions and take such other actions as are reasonably necessary and appropriate (including using reasonable best efforts to obtain any required consents) to effect the transactions described in this Section 2.4.
Third Party Proceedings The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an officer or director or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.
Court Actions Nothing contained in this Agreement shall deny either Party the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the context of a bona fide emergency or prospective irreparable harm, and such an action may be filed and maintained notwithstanding any ongoing discussions between the Parties or any ongoing arbitration proceeding. In addition, either Party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to resolve disputes pertaining to the validity, construction, scope, enforceability, infringement or other violations of Patent Rights or other intellectual property rights, and no such claim shall be subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 11.2.
Restricted Actions (a) Subject to Section 4.04, during the period beginning on the Distribution Date and ending on, and including, the last day of the two-year period following the Distribution Date (the “Restricted Period”), AdvanSix shall not (and shall not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to), in a single transaction or a series of transactions:
(i) enter into any Proposed Acquisition Transaction;
(ii) take any affirmative action that permits a Proposed Acquisition Transaction to occur by means of an agreement to which neither AdvanSix nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party (including by (A) redeeming rights under a shareholder rights plan, (B) making a determination that a tender offer is a “permitted offer” under any such plan or otherwise causing any such plan to be inapplicable or neutralized with respect to any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or (C) approving any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, whether for purposes of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporate Law or any similar corporate statute, any “fair price” or other provision of AdvanSix’s charter or bylaws or otherwise);
(iii) liquidate or partially liquidate AdvanSix, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, a merger of another entity into AdvanSix or any of its Subsidiaries shall not constitute an action described in this Section 4.03(a)(iii));
(iv) cause or permit AdvanSix to cease to engage in the Active Trade or Business;
(v) sell or transfer 50% or more of the gross assets of the Active Trade or Business or 50% or more of the gross assets of the “separate affiliated group” (within the meaning of Section 355(b)(3)(B) of the Code) of AdvanSix (the “AdvanSix SAG”) held immediately before the Distribution (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to sales, transfers or dispositions of assets to any member of the AdvanSix SAG); or
(vi) redeem or otherwise repurchase (directly or indirectly) any AdvanSix Stock, except to the extent such redemptions or repurchases meet the following requirements: (A) those redemptions or purchases are for business reasons unrelated to the Distribution, (B) AdvanSix Stock to be purchased is widely held, (C) those redemptions or purchases will be made on the open market and (D) the aggregate amount of those redemptions or purchases will be less than 20% of the total value of the outstanding AdvanSix Stock.
(i) For purposes of this Agreement, “Proposed Acquisition Transaction” means any transaction or series of transactions (or any agreement, understanding or arrangement to enter into a transaction or series of transactions) as determined for purposes of Section 355(e) of the Code, in connection with which one or more Persons would (directly or indirectly) acquire, or have the right to acquire (including pursuant to an option, warrant or other conversion right), from any other Person or Persons, an interest in AdvanSix Stock that, when combined with any other acquisitions of AdvanSix Stock that occur after the Distribution (but excluding any other acquisition described in clause (ii)) comprises 40% or more of the value or the total combined voting power of all interests that are treated as outstanding equity in AdvanSix for U.S. Federal income Tax purposes immediately after such transaction or, in the case of a series of related transactions, immediately after any transaction in such series. For this purpose, any recapitalization, repurchase or redemption of AdvanSix Stock and any amendment to the certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents) of AdvanSix shall be treated as an indirect acquisition of AdvanSix Stock by any shareholder to the extent such shareholder’s percentage interest in interests that are treated as outstanding equity in AdvanSix for U.S. Federal income Tax purposes increases by vote or value.
Legal Actions A Receiver may bring, prosecute, enforce, defend and abandon any action, suit or proceedings in relation to any Security Asset which he thinks fit.
