Preferential Rights SM Energy shall, within 10 days after the Execution Date, send to each holder of a Preferential Right a notice requesting the election or waiver by each such holder of its applicable Preferential Right, in each case in compliance with the contractual provisions applicable to such Preferential Right, requesting a waiver of such right. Any Preferential Right must be exercised subject to all terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including the successful closing of this Agreement pursuant to Article XI. The consideration payable under this Agreement for any particular Asset for purposes of Preferential Right notices shall be the Allocated Value of such Asset.
(i) All Assets burdened by Preferential Rights for which (A) the applicable Preferential Right has been waived, or (B) the period to exercise such Preferential Right has expired prior to the Closing without the applicable holder of such Preferential Right electing to enforce its Preferential Right, shall, in each case, be assigned to Buyer at the Closing pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
(ii) If, prior to the Closing (A) any holder of a Preferential Right notifies SM Energy that it intends to consummate the purchase of the portion of the Assets to which its Preferential Right applies or (B) the time for exercising a Preferential Right has not expired and the holder of such Preferential Right has not waived such Preferential Right, then, in each case, such portion of the Assets affected by such Preferential Right shall be excluded from the Assets to be conveyed to Buyer at Closing and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of such excluded portion of the Assets. SM Energy shall be entitled to all proceeds paid by a Person exercising a Preferential Right prior to the Closing. If, after Closing (1) such holder of such Preferential Right thereafter fails to consummate the purchase of the portion of the Assets covered by such Preferential Right or (2) the time for exercising such Preferential Right expires without exercise by the holder thereof, then SM Energy shall (x) so notify Buyer and (y) on or before 10 days following delivery of such notice, assign such portion of the Assets to Buyer pursuant to an assignment in substantially the form of the Assignment and the Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount equal to the Allocated Value of the such portion of the Assets.
No Preferential Rights (i) No person, as such term is defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act (each, a “Person”), has the right, contractual or otherwise, to cause the Company to issue or sell to such Person any Common Stock or shares of any other capital stock or other securities of the Company (other than upon the exercise of options or warrants to purchase Common Stock or upon the exercise of options that may be granted from time to time under the Company’s stock option plan), (ii) no Person has any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, or any other rights (whether pursuant to a “poison pill” provision or otherwise) to purchase any Common Stock or shares of any other capital stock or other securities of the Company from the Company which have not been duly waived with respect to the offering contemplated hereby, (iii) no Person has the right to act as an underwriter or as a financial advisor to the Company in connection with the offer and sale of the Common Stock, and (iv) no Person has the right, contractual or otherwise, to require the Company to register under the Securities Act any Common Stock or shares of any other capital stock or other securities of the Company, or to include any such shares or other securities in the Registration Statement or the offering contemplated thereby, whether as a result of the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the sale of the Placement Shares as contemplated thereby or otherwise, except in each case for such rights as have been waived on or prior to the date hereof.
Relative Rights and Preferences Unless the establishing resolution or any other resolution adopted pursuant to Section 2.3 or the Registration Statement otherwise provides, Shares of each Portfolio or Class thereof established hereunder shall have the following relative rights and preferences:
(a) Except as set forth in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.5, each Share of a Portfolio, regardless of Class, shall represent an equal pro rata interest in the assets belonging to such Portfolio and shall have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, preferences, powers, restrictions, limitations, qualifications and designations and terms and conditions with each other Share of such Portfolio.
(b) Shareholders shall have no preemptive or other right to subscribe to any additional Shares or other securities issued by the Trust or the Trustees, whether of the same or other Portfolio (or Class).
(c) All consideration received by the Trust for the issue or sale of Shares of a particular Portfolio, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange, or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be, shall be held in separate and distinct records and accounted for in such separate and distinct records separately from the other assets of the Trust and of every other Portfolio and may be referred to herein as “assets belonging to” that Portfolio. The assets belonging to a particular Portfolio shall belong to that Portfolio for all purposes, and to no other Portfolio, subject only to the rights of creditors of that Portfolio. In addition, any assets, income, earnings, profits or funds, or payments and proceeds with respect thereto, which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Portfolio shall be allocated by the Trustees between and among one or more of the Portfolios in such manner as the Trustees, in their sole discretion, deem fair and equitable. Each such allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all Portfolios thereof for all purposes, and such assets, income, earnings, profits, or funds, or payments and proceeds with respect thereto shall be assets belonging to that Portfolio.
(d) Each Class of a Portfolio shall have a proportionate undivided interest (as determined by or at the direction of, or pursuant to authority granted by, the Trustees, consistent with industry practice) (“Proportionate Interest”) in the net assets belonging to that Portfolio. References herein to assets, expenses, charges, costs, and reserves “allocable” or “allocated” to a particular Class of a Portfolio shall mean the aggregate amount of such item(s) of the Portfolio multiplied by the Class’s Proportionate Interest.
(e) A particular Portfolio shall be charged with the liabilities of that Portfolio, and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable to any particular Portfolio shall be borne by such Portfolio; provided that the Trustees may, in their sole discretion, allocate or authorize the allocation of particular expenses, costs, charges, and/or reserves of a Portfolio to fewer than all the Classes thereof. Class Expenses shall, in all cases, be allocated to the Class for which such Class Expenses were incurred. Any general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves of the Trust (or any Portfolio) that are not readily identifiable as chargeable to or bearable by any particular Portfolio (or any particular Class) shall be allocated and charged by the Trustees between or among any one or more of the Portfolios (or Classes) in such manner as the Trustees in their sole discretion deem fair and equitable. Each such allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all Portfolios (or Classes) for all purposes. Without limitation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5(e), (i) the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Portfolio shall be enforceable against the assets of such Portfolio only, and not against the assets of the Trust generally or assets belonging to any other Portfolio, and (ii) none of the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to the Trust generally that have not been allocated to a specified Portfolio, or with respect to any other Portfolio, shall be enforceable against the assets of such specified Portfolio. Notice of this contractual limitation on inter-Portfolio liabilities is set forth in the Trust’s Certificate of Trust described in Section 1.4, and, accordingly, the statutory provisions of Section 3804 of the Delaware Act relating to limitations on inter-Portfolio liabilities (and the statutory effect under Section 3804 of setting forth such notice in the Certificate of Trust) are applicable to the Trust and each Portfolio.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no dividend or distribution on the Shares of any Portfolio, including any distribution paid in connection with termination of the Trust or such Portfolio or any Class of such Portfolio, nor any redemption or repurchase of, the Shares of such Portfolio or Class shall be effected by the Trust other than from the assets held with respect to such Portfolio, nor shall any Shareholder of any particular Portfolio otherwise have any right or claim against the assets held with respect to any other Portfolio except to the extent that such Shareholder has such a right or claim hereunder as a Shareholder of such other Portfolio.
(g) Except as provided for in Section 2.9, Shares redeemed or repurchased by a Portfolio or the Trust shall be deemed to be canceled.
(h) Any Trustee, officer or other agent of the Trust, and any organization in which any such Person has an economic or other interest, may acquire, own, hold and dispose of Shares in the Trust, whether such Shares are authorized but unissued, or already outstanding, to the same extent as if such Person were not a Trustee, officer or other agent of the Trust; and the Trust may issue and sell and may purchase such Shares from any such Person or any such organization, subject to the limitations, restrictions or other provisions applicable to the sale or purchase of such shares herein, the 1940 Act and other applicable law.
(i) The Trust may issue Shares in fractional denominations of 1/1000th of a Share or integral multiples thereof to the same extent as its whole Shares, and Shares in fractional denominations shall be Shares having proportionately to the respective fractions represented thereby all the rights of whole Shares of the same Portfolio (or Class), including without limitation, the right to vote, the right to receive dividends and distributions and the right to participate upon termination of the Trust or any Portfolio.
(j) The Trustees shall have the authority to provide that the Shareholders of any Portfolio or Class shall have the right to exchange such Shares for Shares of one or more other Portfolio or Class of Shares or for interests in one or more trusts, corporations or other business entities (or a portfolio or series or class of any of the foregoing) in accordance with such requirements and procedures as may be established by the Trustees. All references to Shares in this Agreement shall be deemed to be shares of any or all Portfolios, or Classes thereof, as the context may require. All provisions herein relating to the Trust shall apply equally to each Portfolio of the Trust, and each Class thereof, except as the context otherwise requires.
Distributions Other than Cash, Rights, Preferences or Privileges Whenever the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than cash, rights, preferences or privileges upon Stock, the Depositary shall, at the direction of the Company, subject to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, distribute to record holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.4 such amounts of the securities or property received by it as are, as nearly as practicable, in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts held by such holders, in any manner that the Company may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution. If in the opinion of the Depositary such distribution cannot be made proportionately among such record holders in accordance with the direction of the Company, or if for any other reason (including any requirement that the Company or the Depositary withhold an amount on account of taxes) the Depositary deems, after consultation with the Company, such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may, with the approval of the Company, adopt such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including the sale (at public or private sale) of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, in a commercially reasonable manner. The net proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, be distributed or made available for distribution, as the case may be, by the Depositary to record holders of Receipts as provided by Section 4.1 in the case of a distribution received in cash. The Company shall not make any distribution of such securities or property to the Depositary and the Depositary shall not make any distribution of such securities or property to the holders of Receipts unless the Company shall have provided an opinion of counsel stating that such securities or property have been registered under the Securities Act or do not need to be registered in connection with such distributions.
No Special Rights Nothing herein shall confer upon the Indemnitee any right to continue to serve as an officer or director of the Corporation for any period of time or at any particular rate of compensation.
Ohio Preference The Recipient shall, to the extent practicable, use and shall cause all of its Contractors and subcontractors to use Ohio products, materials, services and labor in connection with the Project pursuant to Section 164.05(A)(6) of the Revised Code;
Preferential Purchase Rights (a) Seller shall transmit all required notices with respect to preferential right to purchase provisions relative to any Property (“PPRs”) set forth in Schedule 4.1(n), promptly after the execution of this Agreement but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after execution of this Agreement by the Parties. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall notify Buyer if any PPRs are exercised or if the requisite period has elapsed without said rights having been exercised.
(b) If a Person to whom a notice of a PPR has been given elects to purchase the Properties covered by such PPR in accordance with the Applicable Contract, then such Properties may be sold to such holder of the PPR subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and such Properties will not be sold to the Party originally executing this Agreement as “Buyer” (subject to the remaining provisions in this Section) and the Purchase Price will be reduced by the Allocated Value of such Property in accordance with Section 3.2(b)(iv). Upon the consummation of the sale of any Properties to the holder of such PPR, such Properties shall be deemed excluded from the transactions contemplated hereby for all purposes.
(c) If by Closing, the time frame for the exercise of a PPR applicable to a Property has not expired and Seller has not received notice of an intent not to exercise or a waiver of the PPR, such Property shall be excluded from the sale under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and the Purchase Price will be reduced by the Allocated Value of such Property in accordance with Section 3.2(b)(iv).
(d) If, after the Closing, the holder of a PPR with respect to any Property excluded pursuant to this Section 6.9 fails to consummate the purchase of such Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of such PPR or if the time frame in which to exercise PPR expires without exercise, then, within ten (10) Business Days of Seller’s providing Buyer with notice thereof, Buyer shall purchase (at a purchase price equal to the Allocated Value thereof, as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2 through the date of such assignment), and Seller shall assign to Buyer pursuant to an assignment in substantially the same form as the Assignment, such Property.
Shift Preference 200 Shift preference will be granted on the basis of seniority within the classification as openings occur. The transfer to the desired shift will be effected within two (2) weeks following the end of the current pay period within which a written request is made, provided the employee can do the work.

Liquidation Preference a. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of this corporation to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the sum of (i) $2.00 for each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock, (subject to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or other recapitalizations and hereafter referred to as the "Original Series A Issue Price"), (ii) $4.43 for each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock (subject to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or other recapitalizations and hereafter referred to as the "Original Series B Issue Price"), and (iii) an amount equal to declared but unpaid dividends on such share of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, as applicable. If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then, the entire assets and funds of the corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock in proportion to the aggregate liquidation preferences of the respective series, and ratably among the holders of that series in proportion to the amount of such stock owned by each such holder.
b. After the distributions described in subsection (a) above have been paid, the remaining assets of the corporation available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each (assuming conversion of all such Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock).
c. A consolidation or merger of this corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations, or a sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of this corporation or the effectuation by the corporation of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the corporation is disposed of (excluding the issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement), shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up within the meaning of this Section 2.
