Dividends and Related Distributions Make any Restricted Payment, or agree to become or remain liable to make any Restricted Payment, except: (a) dividends or other distributions payable to another Loan Party; (b) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may pay dividends in shares of its own Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests); (c) any Restricted Payment made by a Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party to another Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party or a Loan Party; (d) the Special Distribution, so long as (i) no Potential Default or Event of Default then exists or arises therefrom and (ii) after giving effect thereto on a Pro Forma Basis, the Loan Parties are in compliance with the covenants set forth in Sections 9.12 and 9.13; (e) Restricted Payments consisting of redemptions of Equity Interests of Holdings held by employees, officers, or directors of Holdings (or any spouses, ex-spouses, estates or Affiliates of any of the foregoing); provided, that the aggregate amount of such redemptions made by Holdings in respect of each Fiscal Year prior to the Expiration Date shall not exceed (i) the greater of (A) $2,000,000 or (B) 5.00% of Consolidated EBITDA for the four Fiscal Quarter period most recently ended as of such date of determination in respect of which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(b), as applicable less (ii) the aggregate amount of cash compensation consisting of Qualified LTIP Accrual Amounts added to Consolidated EBITDA pursuant to clause (b)(vii)(B) thereof in respect of such period; provided, further, that Restricted Payments under this Section 9.4(e) shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) no Event of Default has occurred or would result from such Restricted Payment, (ii) the Borrower provides Administrative Agent evidence that after giving effect to the consummation of such Restricted Payment, Holdings and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis shall maintain a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00 on a Pro Forma Basis, measured as of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter for which the Loan Parties have delivered the financial statements required under Sections 8.1(a) or (b), as the case may be, for the four Fiscal Quarter period then ended, (iii) after giving effect to the consummation of such Restricted Payment, the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00, and (iv) each Loan Party shall be Solvent before and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment; and (f) dividends, distributions and/or share repurchases in an aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000,000 per Fiscal Year, so long as (i) no Potential Default or Event of Default then exists or arises therefrom and (ii) after giving effect thereto on a Pro Forma Basis, the Loan Parties are in compliance with the covenants set forth in Sections 9.12 and 9.13; provided that the aggregate amount of dividends, distributions and share repurchases under this Section 9.4(f) shall be unlimited so long as after giving effect thereto on a Pro Forma Basis, the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio is less than 2.50 to 1.00.
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS Declare or pay any dividend or distribution either in cash, stock or any other property on Borrower's stock now or hereafter outstanding, nor redeem, retire, repurchase or otherwise acquire any shares of any class of Borrower's stock now or hereafter outstanding.
Dividends or Distributions (a) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of shares of any other class of capital shares not by its terms ranking on a parity with, or junior to, the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares with respect to dividends, the holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of the assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, quarterly dividends payable in cash in an amount per whole share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares equal to the greater of (1) 10% of the Purchase Price (the "Purchase Price"), as adjusted, per unit of one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares set forth in the Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement") between the Corporation and Chemical Bank, N.A., as Rights Agent, dated as of October 27, 1995 (so that if the Purchase Price, as adjusted, were $100.00, the quarterly dividend amount per whole share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares would be $10.00), and (2) dividends payable in cash on the payment date for each cash dividend (if any) declared on the Common Shares in an amount per whole share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the Formula Number then in effect times the cash dividends then to be paid on each outstanding Common Share, payable on the date declared by the Board of Directors for the payment of quarterly dividends on the outstanding Common Shares, par value $.20 per share, of the Corporation (the "Common Shares") but in no event later than the fifteenth day of March, June, September and December in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or a fraction of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares, since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares. In addition, if the Corporation shall pay any dividend or make any distribution on the Common Shares payable in assets, securities or other forms of noncash consideration (other than dividends or distributions solely in shares of Common Shares), then, in each such case, the Corporation shall simultaneously pay or make on each outstanding share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares a dividend or distribution in like kind, of the Formula Number then in effect times such dividend or distribution on each share of Common Shares. As used herein, the "Formula Number" shall be 100; provided, however, that if at any time after October 27, 1995, the Corporation shall (i) declare or pay any dividend on the Common Shares payable in shares of Common Shares or make any distribution on the Common Shares in shares of Common Shares, (ii) subdivide (by a shares split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Shares into a larger number of shares of Common Shares or (iii) combine (by a reverse shares split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Shares into a smaller number of shares of Common Shares, then in each such event the Formula Number shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the Formula Number in effect immediately prior to such event by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Shares that are outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares that are outstanding immediately prior to such event (and rounding the result to the nearest whole number); and provided further that if at any time after October 27, 1995, the Corporation shall issue any shares of its capital shares in a reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Shares (including any such reclassification or change in connection with a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation), then in such event the Formula Number shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such reclassification or change. (b) The Board of Directors shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares as provided in paragraph 2(a) immediately prior to or at the same time it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Shares (other than a dividend or distribution solely in shares of Common Shares). The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares entitled to receive a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be the same as the record date for any corresponding dividend or distribution on the Common Shares. (c) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares from and after the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of original issue of such Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares; provided, however, that dividends on such shares which are originally issued after the record date for the determination of holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and on or prior to the next succeeding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from and after such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends on shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares which are originally issued prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment, shall be calculated as if cumulative from and after the date (if any) declared by the Board of Directors for the payment of the quarterly dividend on the outstanding shares of Common Shares but in no event later than the fifteenth day of March, June, September and December, as the case may be, next preceding the date of original issuance of such shares. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share- by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. (d) So long as any shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares are outstanding, no dividends or other distributions shall be declared, paid or distributed, or set aside for payment or distribution, on the Common Shares unless, in each case, the dividend required by this Section 2 to be declared on the shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares shall have been declared, paid or distributed. (e) The holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions except as provided herein.
Stock Dividends and Splits If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
Cash Dividends or Distributions If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula: where: CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; SP = the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and D = the cash amount distributed per share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if D is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and without having to convert its Notes, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date. To the extent such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
Dividends and Voting Rights (a) All dividends and other distributions with respect to any of the Pledged Interests shall be subject to the pledge hereunder, provided, however, that cash dividends paid to a Pledgor as record owner of the Pledged Interests, to the extent permitted by the Revolving Credit Agreement to be declared and paid, may be retained by such Pledgor so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, free from any Liens hereunder. (b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the registration of the Collateral in the name of a Pledgor as record and beneficial owner shall not be changed and such Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise all voting and other rights and powers pertaining to the Collateral for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of the Loan Documents. (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, all rights of the Pledgors to receive and retain cash dividends and other distributions upon the Collateral pursuant to subsection (a) above shall cease and shall thereupon be vested in the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Secured Parties, and each Pledgor shall promptly deliver, or shall cause to be promptly delivered, all such cash dividends and other distributions with respect to the Pledged Interests to the Administrative Agent (together, if the Administrative Agent shall request, with the documents described in Sections 1(c) and 2(c) hereof or other negotiable documents or instruments so distributed) to be held by it hereunder or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, to be applied to the Secured Obligations. Pending delivery to the Administrative Agent of such property, each Pledgor shall keep such property segregated from its other property and shall be deemed to hold the same in trust for the benefit of the Revolving Secured Parties. (d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at the option of the Administrative Agent, all rights of each of the Pledgors to exercise the voting or consensual rights and powers which it is authorized to exercise pursuant to subsection (b) above shall cease and the Administrative Agent may thereupon (but shall not be obligated to), at its request, cause such Collateral to be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee or agent for the benefit of the Revolving Secured Parties and/or exercise such voting or consensual rights and powers as appertain to ownership of such Collateral, and to that end each Pledgor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its proxy, with full power of substitution, to vote and exercise all other rights as a shareholder with respect to such Pledged Interests hereunder upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, which proxy is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Facility Termination Date, and each Pledgor hereby agrees to provide such further proxies as the Administrative Agent may request; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent in its discretion may from time to time refrain from exercising, and shall not be obligated to exercise, any such voting or consensual rights or such proxy.
Cash Dividends; Voting Rights Unless an Event of Default has occurred and the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Pledgors of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Pledgors shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, in respect of the Pledged Stock and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Stock; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate right exercised or other action taken which, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Pledge Agreement or any other Credit Document.
Dividends and Distributions Whenever the Depositary receives any cash dividend or other cash distribution on any Deposited Securities, the Depositary will, if at the time of receipt thereof any amounts received in a foreign currency can in the judgment of the Depositary be converted on a reasonable basis into United States dollars transferable to the United States, and subject to the Deposit Agreement, convert such dividend or distribution into dollars and will distribute the amount thus received (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Article 7 hereof and Section 5.9 of the Deposit Agreement) to the Owners entitled thereto; provided, however, that in the event that the Company or the Depositary is required to withhold and does withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of any Deposited Securities an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges, the amount distributed to the Owners of the American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities shall be reduced accordingly. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.11 and 5.9 of the Deposit Agreement, whenever the Depositary receives any distribution other than a distribution described in Section 4.1, 4.3 or 4.4 of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary will cause the securities or property received by it to be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto, in any manner that the Depositary may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution; provided, however, that if in the opinion of the Depositary such distribution cannot be made proportionately among the Owners of Receipts entitled thereto, or if for any other reason the Depositary deems such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may adopt such method as it may deem equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including, but not limited to, the public or private sale of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, and the net proceeds of any such sale (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Article 7 hereof and Section 5.9 of the Deposit Agreement) will be distributed by the Depositary to the Owners of Receipts entitled thereto all in the manner and subject to the conditions described in Section 4.1 of the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary may withhold any distribution of securities under Section 4.2 of the Deposit Agreement if it has not received satisfactory assurances from the Company that the distribution does not require registration under the Securities Act of 1933. The Depositary may sell, by public or private sale, an amount of securities or other property it would otherwise distribute under this Article that is sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in respect of that distribution. If any distribution consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, Shares, the Depositary may deliver to the Owners entitled thereto, an aggregate number of American Depositary Shares representing the amount of Shares received as such dividend or free distribution, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement with respect to the deposit of Shares and after deduction or upon issuance of American Depositary Shares, including the withholding of any tax or other governmental charge as provided in Section 4.11 of the Deposit Agreement and the payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Article 7 hereof and Section 5.9 of the Deposit Agreement (and the Depositary may sell, by public or private sale, an amount of Shares received sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in respect of that distribution. In lieu of delivering fractional American Depositary Shares in any such case, the Depositary will sell the amount of Shares represented by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute the net proceeds, all in the manner and subject to the conditions described in Section 4.1of the Deposit Agreement. If additional American Depositary Shares are not so delivered, each American Depositary Share shall thenceforth also represent the additional Shares distributed upon the Deposited Securities represented thereby. In the event that the Depositary determines that any distribution in property (including Shares and rights to subscribe therefor) is subject to any tax or other governmental charge which the Depositary is obligated to withhold, the Depositary may by public or private sale dispose of all or a portion of such property (including Shares and rights to subscribe therefor) in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay any such taxes or charges, and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale after deduction of such taxes or charges to the Owners of Receipts entitled thereto.
Dividends 1. Dividends paid by a company which is a resident of a Contracting State to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State. 2. However, such dividends may also be taxed in the Contracting State of which the company paying the dividends is a resident and according to the laws of that State, but if the beneficial owner of the dividends is a resident of the other Contracting State, the tax so charged shall not exceed:
