On the Exchange Date, all rights of the exchanging Company Unitholder as a holder of the Company Units and shares of Class B Common Stock that are subject to the Exchange shall cease, and unless the Corporation has elected Cash Settlement, such Company Unitholder (or its designee) shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of the shares of Class A Common Stock to be received by the exchanging Company Unitholder in respect of such Exchange.
(iii) Within two (2) Business Days following the Business Day on which the Corporation and the Company have received the Exchange Notice, the Corporation shall give written notice (the “Contribution Notice”) to the Company (with a copy to the exchanging Company Unitholder) of its intended settlement method; provided that if the Corporation does not timely deliver a Contribution Notice, the Corporation shall be deemed to have not elected the Cash Settlement method. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) a Company Unitholder may withdraw or amend its Exchange Notice, in whole or in part, at any time prior to 5:00p.m. New York City time, on the Business Day immediately prior to the Exchange Date by giving written notice (the “Retraction Notice”) to the Company (with a copy to the Corporation) specifying (A) the number of withdrawn Company Units and corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock, (B) if any, the number of Company Units and corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock as to which the Exchange Notice remains in effect and (C) A Partnership if the Company Unitholder so determines, a new Exchange Date or any other new or revised information permitted in the Exchange Notice, and (y) a Company Unitholder may specify, in an applicable Elective Exchange Notice, that the Elective Exchange is to be contingent (including as to timing) upon the occurrence of any transaction or event, including the consummation of a purchase by another Person (whether in a tender or exchange offer, an underwritten offering, block trade, change Change of control Control transaction or otherwise) of shares of Class A Common Stock or any merger, consolidation or other business combination. The termination of a transaction or event specified in the preceding sentence, prior to the consummation thereof, shall terminate all of the exchanging Partnership Unitholder’s, Partnership’s and Company’s rights and obligations under this Section 2.1(a)(i) arising from that particular Elective Exchange Notice, and all actions taken to effect the Elective Exchange contemplated by that Elective Exchange Notice shall be deemed rescinded.
(D) After the Elective Exchange Notice has been delivered to the Partnership, and unless such Partnership Unitholder timely has delivered a Retraction Notice pursuant to Section 1.1(a)(i)(E) or the Partnership has refused to honor the request in full pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i), the Partnership will effect the Elective Exchange in accordance with the Policies and inform the Partnership Unitholder of the effective date of such Elective Exchange (the “Elective Exchange Date”).
(E) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Retraction Event occurs after the delivery of an Elective Exchange Notice and prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately prior to the applicable Elective Exchange Date (the “Retraction Deadline”), a Partnership Unitholder may withdraw or amend its Elective Exchange Notice, in whole or in part, by giving written notice at any time prior to the Retraction Deadline (a “Retraction Notice”) to the Partnership (with a copy to the Company) specifying (A) the number of withdrawn Exchangeable Units and (B) the number of Exchangeable Units as to which the Elective Exchange Notice remains in effect. The timely delivery of a Retraction Notice indicating an entire withdrawal of the Elective Exchange Notice shall pursuant to clause (x) above and, in respect of clause (y) above, the termination of the transaction or event prior to the consummation thereof, shall, in either case, terminate all of the exchanging Partnership Company Unitholder’s, PartnershipCompany’s and CompanyCorporation’s rights and obligations under this Section 2.1(a)(i2.1(a) arising from that particular Elective Exchange Notice, and all actions taken to effect the Elective Exchange contemplated by that Elective Exchange Notice shall be deemed rescinded.
