Contractual Settlement Unless the parties agree to the contrary, the Custodian will attend to the settlement of securities transactions in accordance with the Custodian's standard operating procedure, on the basis of either contractual settlement date accounting or actual settlement date accounting. To the extent the Custodian settles certain securities transactions on the basis of contractual settlement date accounting, the Custodian may reverse with back value to the contractual settlement date any entry relating to such contractual settlement if the Custodian reasonably believes that such amount will not be received.
Physical Settlement If Physical Settlement is applicable, then Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer through the Clearance System a number of Shares equal to the Settlement Shares for such Settlement Date, and Dealer shall pay to Counterparty, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Counterparty, an amount equal to the Physical Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date, on a delivery versus payment basis. If, on any Settlement Date, the Shares to be delivered by Counterparty to Dealer hereunder are not so delivered (the “Deferred Shares”), and a Forward Price Reduction Date occurs during the period from, and including, such Settlement Date to, but excluding, the date such Shares are actually delivered to Dealer, then the portion of the Physical Settlement Amount payable by Dealer to Counterparty in respect of the Deferred Shares shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Forward Price Reduction Amount for such Forward Price Reduction Date, multiplied by the number of Deferred Shares.
Full Settlement The Company's obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. The Company agrees to pay as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Company, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any delayed payment at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
The Settlement Fund 34. The Escrow Account shall be established as a “qualified settlement fund” as defined in Section 1.468B-1(a) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations or other appropriate escrow account as agreed to by the Settling Parties.
35. After preliminary approval of the Settlement, Co-Lead Counsel may utilize up to $100,000 from the Notice Fund to provide notice of the Settlement to potential members of the Settlement Class and for notice administration, without an order from the Court. The amount spent or incurred for notice and notice administration is not refundable to Settling Defendants in the event the Settlement Agreement is disapproved, rescinded, or otherwise fails to become effective.
36. From the Notice Fund and the Settlement Fund shall be paid the cost of settlement notice, claims administration, class representatives’ incentive awards, attorneys’ fees, reimbursement of all actual expenses of the Action, any other litigation costs of Plaintiffs, and all applicable taxes, if any. The Settling Parties shall have the right to audit amounts paid from the Settlement Fund prior to the final approval of the Settlement.
37. The Settlement Fund shall be invested in United States Government Treasury obligations or United States Treasury money market funds. The Notice Fund may be deposited in a bank account, in which case it will be deposited in a federally insured interest-bearing account.
38. Settling Defendants shall not have any responsibility, financial obligation, or liability whatsoever with respect to the investment, distribution, use, or administration of the Settlement Fund, including, but not limited to, the costs and expenses of such investment, distribution, use or administration except as expressly otherwise provided in this Settlement Agreement.
39. Settling Defendants’ only payment obligation is to pay the Settlement Amount. Settling Defendants shall not be liable for any costs, expenses, or fees of any of Plaintiffs’ respective attorneys, experts, advisors, agents, or representatives. Payment of all such costs, expenses, and fees, as approved by the Court, shall be paid only out of the Settlement Fund or the Opt-Out Fee and Expense Account. No disbursements shall be made from the Notice Fund or the Settlement Fund prior to the Effective Date of this Settlement Agreement except as described in Paragraphs 35 and 36, above.
40. The distribution of the Settlement Fund shall be administered pursuant to a plan of allocation (the “Plan of Allocation”) proposed by Co-Lead Counsel and subject to the approval of the Court. If such approval is not obtained, Co-Lead Counsel shall revise the Plan of Allocation as necessary until approval of the Court is obtained. Settling Defendants shall have no participatory or approval rights with respect to the Plan of Allocation and the Court’s rejection of the Plan of Allocation shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Settlement Agreement.
41. Settling Defendants will take no position on any application for fees and reimbursement of expenses made by Co-Lead Counsel or by the Settlement Class Members or any application for class representatives’ incentive awards out of the Settlement Fund.
