(2) No dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock (whether in cash, securities or other property, or any combination of the foregoing) will be declared or paid on the Common Stock unless, at the time of such declaration and payment, an equivalent dividend or distribution is declared and paid, respectively, on the Abeyance Shares (such a dividend or distribution on the Abeyance Shares, an “Abeyance Dividend,” and such corresponding dividend or distribution on the Common Stock, the “Common Stock Abeyance Dividend”), such that (1) the Record Date and the payment date for such Abeyance Dividend occur on the same dates as the Record Date and payment date, respectively, for such Common Stock Abeyance Dividend and (2) the kind and amount of consideration payable per Abeyance Share in such Abeyance Dividend is the same kind and amount of consideration that would be payable in the Common Stock Abeyance Dividend.
(3) The provisions of Section 10(e)(iv) and (v) will apply to the delivery of the Abeyance Shares, mutatis mutandis.
(4) The Company will reserve, out of its authorized, unreserved and not outstanding shares of Common Stock, for delivery a number of shares of Common Stock that would be sufficient to settle the obligation to delivery of the Abeyance Shares.
(5) In the event of any Common Stock Change Event, the Company’s obligation to deliver Abeyance Shares will be replaced by an obligation to deliver an equal number of Reference Property Units. For the avoidance of doubt, such converted Convertible Preferred Stock will be extinguished, will no longer accrue Regular Dividends and will not benefit from any Liquidation Preference.
