Election Procedure (a) Each person who, on or prior to the Election Date, is a registered holder of Shares, other than Excluded Shares, shall be entitled to specify the number of such holder’s Shares with respect to which such holder makes a Mixed Election, a Cash Election or a Stock Election by complying with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.3.
Election Procedures Each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock (“Holder”) shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article II, to submit an election in accordance with the following procedures:
Election and Proration Procedures (a) An election form and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates theretofore representing Seller Stock shall pass only upon delivery of such certificates to the Exchange Agent) in such form as Company and Seller shall mutually agree (“Election Form”) shall be mailed no less than 35 days prior to the anticipated Effective Time or on such other date as Seller and Company shall mutually agree (“Mailing Date”) to each holder of record of Seller Stock as of five Business Days prior to the Mailing Date (“Election Form Record Date”). Company shall make available one or more Election Forms as may be reasonably requested by all persons who become holders (or beneficial owners) of Seller Stock after the Election Form Record Date and prior to the Election Deadline (as defined below), and Seller shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform its obligations as specified herein. Each Election Form shall permit the holder (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) to elect (an “Election”) to receive either (i) Company Stock (a “Stock Election”) with respect to all of such holder’s Seller Stock, (ii) cash (a “Cash Election”) with respect to all of such holder’s Seller Stock, or (iii) a specified number of shares of Seller Stock to receive Company Stock (a “Combination Stock Election”) and a specified number of shares of Seller Stock to receive cash (a “Combination Cash Election”), subject to the provisions contained in this Agreement. Any Seller Stock (other than Seller Dissenting Shares) with respect to which the holder (or the beneficial owner, as the case may be) shall not have submitted to the Exchange Agent, an effective, properly completed Election Form received prior to the Election Deadline shall be deemed to be “Undesignated Shares” hereunder.
Termination Procedure Any party having the right to terminate this Agreement may terminate this Agreement prior to Closing by delivering to the other party written notice of termination, and thereupon, this Agreement will be terminated without obligation or liability of any party.
Collection Procedure Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to deposit the proceeds of each wire in the Escrow Account.
Contribution Procedure Within fifteen (15) days after receipt by any party to this Agreement (or its representative) of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, such party will, if a claim for contribution in respect thereof is to be made against another party (“contributing party”), notify the contributing party of the commencement thereof, but the failure to so notify the contributing party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any other party other than for contribution hereunder. In case any such action, suit or proceeding is brought against any party, and such party notifies a contributing party or its representative of the commencement thereof within the aforesaid 15 days, the contributing party will be entitled to participate therein with the notifying party and any other contributing party similarly notified. Any such contributing party shall not be liable to any party seeking contribution on account of any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding affected by such party seeking contribution on account of any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding affected by such party seeking contribution without the written consent of such contributing party. The contribution provisions contained in this Section 5.3.2 are intended to supersede, to the extent permitted by law, any right to contribution under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise available. Each Underwriter’s obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5.3 are several and not joint.
Notification Procedures The Auction Manager will calculate the Applicable Threshold Price no later than the next Business Day after the date that the Return Bids were due. The Auction Manager will insert the amount of Term Loans to be assigned and the applicable settlement date determined by the Auction Manager in consultation with the Offeror onto each applicable Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Qualifying Bid. Upon written request of the submitting Lender, the Auction Manager will promptly return any Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Return Bid that is not a Qualifying Bid.
Selection Procedures In selecting the Loan Assets to be Pledged pursuant to this Agreement, no selection procedures were employed which are intended to be adverse to the interests of the Lenders.
Redemption Procedure The payment of cash or issuance of Common Stock, as applicable, pursuant to an Optional Redemption or a Periodic Redemption shall be payable on the Optional Redemption Date or Periodic Redemption Date, as applicable. If any portion of the payment pursuant to an Optional Redemption or Periodic Redemption shall not be paid by the Company by the applicable due date, interest shall accrue thereon at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until such amount is paid in full. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if any portion of the Optional Redemption Amount or Periodic Redemption Amount remains unpaid after such date, the Holder may elect, by written notice to the Company given at any time thereafter, to invalidate such Optional Redemption or Periodic Redemption, ab initio, and, with respect to the Company’s failure to honor the Optional Redemption, the Company shall have no further right to exercise such Optional Redemption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, the Company’s determination to redeem in cash or its elections under Section 6(b) shall be applied ratably among the Holders of Debentures. The Holder may elect to convert the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture pursuant to Section 4 prior to actual payment in cash for any redemption under this Section 6 by the delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company.
Proration Procedures All Term Loans offered in Return Bids (or, if applicable, any component bid thereof) constituting Qualifying Bids equal to the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at a purchase price equal to the Applicable Threshold Price; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans for which Qualifying Bids have been submitted in any given Auction equal to the Applicable Threshold Price would exceed the remaining portion of the Auction Amount (after deducting all Term Loans purchased below the Applicable Threshold Price), the Offeror shall purchase the Term Loans for which the Qualifying Bids submitted were at the Applicable Threshold Price ratably based on the respective principal amounts offered and in an aggregate amount up to the amount necessary to complete the purchase of the Auction Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, no Return Bids (or any component thereof) will be accepted above the Applicable Threshold Price.
