Up-Front Payment Connetics shall issue to Genentech upon the Original Closing Date (as defined in the Stock Agreement) shares of Connetics Common Stock (“Original Issuance Shares” as defined in the Stock Agreement) with a fair market value equal to two million dollars ($2,000,000), on the terms and conditions set forth in the Stock Agreement. If, on the Second Closing Date (as defined in the Stock Agreement), the aggregate market value of the Original Issuance Shares (based on the Second Issuance Price (as defined in the Stock Agreement)) is less than four million dollars ($4,000,000), Connetics shall issue to Genentech upon the Second Closing Date the number of additional shares of Connetics Common Stock (the “Second Issuance Shares,” as defined in the Stock Agreement) equal to the lesser of: (i) the number of shares necessary to increase the aggregate market value of the Original Issuance Shares (based on the Second Issuance Price) plus the Second Issuance Shares (based on the Second Issuance Price) to four million dollars ($4,000,000) or (ii) the number of shares necessary to increase the aggregate number of the Company’s shares of Common Stock held by Genentech (exclusive of any shares that Genentech has purchased from parties other than the Company) to 9.9% of the Company’s total outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on the third trading day before the Second Closing Date, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Stock Agreement. In lieu of all or any portion of the Second Issuance Shares that the Company is obligated to issue to Genentech on the Second Closing Date, the Company may elect to pay Genentech the cash value of such Second Issuance Shares (based on the Second Issuance Price). The Original Closing and the Second Closing of the stock issuances shall take place as described in the Stock Agreement. In the event that Connetics does not issue to Genentech all of the Second Issuance Shares or the cash value of the Second Issuance Shares, Genentech may, in addition to other remedies available to it by law or in equity, immediately terminate this Agreement and the licenses granted to Connetics hereunder. Such termination by Genentech of the Agreement and the licenses hereunder does not discharge Connetics’ obligation to issue all of the Second Issuance Shares or to pay to Genentech the cash value of the Second Issuance Shares. The up-front payment shall not be creditable against any royalty payments owed by Connetics under Sections 8.3 and 8.4 below.
Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment, together with interest calculated as set forth below, shall (A) be due (x) within five (5) Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Working Capital Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five (5) Business Days of the resolution described in clause (v) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as is directed by Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be.
Withholding Tax imposed on payments to non-US counterparties under the United States Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. “Tax” as used in Section 8(d) of this Confirmation and “Indemnifiable Tax” as defined in Section 14 of the Agreement shall not include any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”). For the avoidance of doubt, a FATCA Withholding Tax is a Tax the deduction or withholding of which is required by applicable law for the purposes of Section 2(d) of the Agreement.
Treatment of Installment Payments Each payment of termination benefits under this Agreement shall be considered a separate payment, as described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A‑2(b)(2), for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
Redemption for Changes in Withholding Taxes The Issuers may, at their option, redeem all (but not less than all) of the Notes then outstanding, in each case at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of the holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), and all Additional Amounts, if any, then due and which shall become due on the applicable redemption date as a result of the redemption or otherwise if, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, or the official written interpretation of such laws, which change or amendment is publicly announced and becomes effective after the Issue Date (or, if the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, after such later date), the Issuers are, or on the next Interest Payment Date in respect of the Notes would be, required to pay any Additional Amounts or if, after the Issue Date (or, if the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, after such later date), any action is taken by a taxing authority of, or any action has been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in, a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or any taxing authority thereof or therein, including any of those actions that constitutes a Change in Tax Law, whether or not such action was taken or brought with respect to the Issuers, or there is any change, amendment, clarification, application or interpretation of such laws, regulations, treaties or rulings, which in any such case, will result in a material probability that the Issuers will be required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes (each such action, change, amendment, clarification, application or interpretation, a “Tax Action”) (it being understood that such material probability will be deemed to result if the written opinion of independent tax counsel described in clause (ii) below to such effect is delivered to the First Lien Trustee), and, in each case, such obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Issuers (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new paying agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption as a result of a Change in Tax Law or Tax Action will be given (a) earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuers would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law or Tax Action and (b) unless, at the time such notice is given, such obligation to pay Additional Amounts remains in effect. Prior to any redemption of Notes pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Issuers shall deliver to the First Lien Trustee (i) an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Issuers are entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of redemption have occurred and (ii) an opinion of independent tax counsel reasonably acceptable to the First Lien Trustee to the effect that the Issuers are entitled to redeem the Notes as a result of a Change in Tax Law or a Tax Action. The First Lien Trustee will accept such Officers’ Certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, without further inquiry, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the holders.
Optional Redemption Due to Changes in Tax Treatment Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, if, as the result of (a) any change in or any amendment to the laws, regulations or published tax rulings of any Relevant Jurisdiction, or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, affecting taxation, or (b) any change in the official administration, application or interpretation by a relevant court or tribunal, government or government authority of any Relevant Jurisdiction of such laws, regulations or published tax rulings either generally or in relation to the Securities or the Guarantees, which change or amendment is proposed and becomes effective on or after the later of (x) the original issue date of such Securities or Guarantees or (y) the date on which a jurisdiction becomes a Relevant Jurisdiction (whether by consolidation, merger or transfer of assets of the Issuer or any Guarantor, change in place of payment on the Securities or Guarantees or otherwise) or which change in official administration, application or interpretation shall not have been available to the public prior to such original issue date or the date on which such jurisdiction becomes a Relevant Jurisdiction (whichever is later), the Issuer or the Guarantors would be required to pay any Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 1007 of this Indenture or the terms of any Guarantee in respect of interest on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (assuming, in the case of the Guarantors, a payment in respect of such interest was required to be made by the Guarantors under the Guarantees thereof on such Interest Payment Date and the Guarantors would be unable, for reasons outside their control, to procure payment by the Issuer), and the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of commercially reasonable measures available to the Issuer or to the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem all (but not less than all) of the Securities in respect of which such Additional Amounts would be so payable at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice as provided in Sections 1102 and 1104, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest due thereon up to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that:
Redemption Upon Changes in Withholding Taxes The Offered Securities may be redeemed, as a whole but not in part, at the option of the Company, upon not less than 30 nor more than 90 days notice (which notice shall be irrevocable), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date and Additional Amounts (as defined in Section 3.2), if any, if as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws or regulations of Switzerland or the United States, as applicable, or any political subdivision thereof or therein having the power to tax (a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws, including any action taken by a taxing authority or a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction (regardless of whether such action or such holding is with respect to the Company or Guarantor), which amendment or change is announced or becomes effective after the date the Offered Securities are issued, the Guarantor or the Company has become, or there is a material probability that it will become, obligated to pay Additional Amounts on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Securities of such series, and such obligation cannot be avoided by the use of commercially reasonable measures available to Guarantor or the Company, as the case may be; provided, however, that (a) no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which Guarantor or the Company, as the case may be, would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts, and (b) at the time such notice of redemption is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption described in this paragraph, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Trustee (i)(A) a certificate signed by two Officers of the Company stating that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the Company taking commercially reasonable measures available to it or (B) a certificate signed by two Officers of the Guarantor stating that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by Guarantor taking commercially reasonable measures available to it, and (ii) a written opinion of independent legal counsel to the Guarantor or the Company, as the case may be, of recognized standing to the effect that the Company has or there is a material probability that it will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change, amendment, official interpretation or application described above and that the Guarantor or the Company, as the case may be, cannot avoid the payment of such Additional Amounts by taking commercially reasonable measures available to it.
Interest Rates Payments and Calculations (a) Interest Rate. -------------
Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection with Make-Whole Fundamental Changes (a) If the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, under the circumstances described below, increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”), as described below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Notice of Conversion is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change) (such period, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period”).
Rates Applicable After Event of Default Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 2.8, 2.9 or 2.10, during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice from the Designated Agent to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.3 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Eurocurrency Advance. During the continuance of an Event of Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice from the Designated Agent to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.3 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each Eurocurrency Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period plus 2.00% per annum, (ii) each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus 2.00% per annum, and (iii) the LC Fee shall be increased by 2.00% per annum, provided that, during the continuance of an Event of Default under Sections 7.6 or 7.7, the interest rates set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above and the increase in the LC Fee set forth in clause (iii) above shall be applicable to all Credit Extensions without any election or action on the part of the Designated Agent or any Lender. After an Event of Default has been waived, the interest rate applicable to advances and the LC Fee shall revert to the rates applicable prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default.
