Limitation on Out of-State Litigation - Texas Business and Commerce Code § 272 This is a requirement of the TIPS Contract and is non-negotiable. Texas Business and Commerce Code § 272 prohibits a construction contract, or an agreement collateral to or affecting the construction contract, from containing a provision making the contract or agreement, or any conflict arising under the contract or agreement, subject to another state’s law, litigation in the courts of another state, or arbitration in another state. If included in Texas construction contracts, such provisions are voidable by a party obligated by the contract or agreement to perform the work. By submission of this proposal, Vendor acknowledges this law and if Vendor enters into a construction contract with a Texas TIPS Member under this procurement, Vendor certifies compliance.
Limitation on Rights (a) This Agreement shall not be deemed to create a contract of employment between the Company and the Executive and shall create no right in the Executive to continue in the Company’s employment for any specific period of time, or to create any other rights in the Executive or obligations on the part of the Company, except as set forth herein. This Agreement shall not restrict the right of the Company to terminate the Executive, or restrict the right of the Executive to terminate employment.
(b) Subject to the exception for cash severance payments under the Company’s documented severance policy referenced in Sections 3 and 4 above, this Agreement shall not be construed to exclude the Executive from participation in any other compensation or benefit programs in which the Executive is specifically eligible to participate either prior to or following the execution of this Agreement, or any such programs that generally are available to other executive personnel of the Company, nor shall it affect the kind and amount of other compensation to which the Executive is entitled.
(c) The rights of the Executive under this Agreement shall be solely those of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.
Limitation on Use COLLEGE and SCHOOL DISTRICT shall use each student education record that he or she may receive pursuant to this CCAP Agreement solely for a purpose(s) consistent with his or her authority to access that information pursuant to Federal and State law, as may be as applicable. (34 C.F.R. § 99.31, 34 C.F.R. § 99.34, and Education Code § 49076.)
Limitation on Sales Each holder of this Warrant acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares, as of the date of original issuance of this Warrant, have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act"), and agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares issued upon its exercise in the absence of (a) an effective registration statement under the Act as to this Warrant or such Warrant Shares or (b) an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and qualification are not required. The Warrant Shares issued upon exercise thereof shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form: "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT") OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR IN A TRANSACTION WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS."
Limitation on Payments In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this Section 5, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Executive’s benefits under Section 3 will be either:
(a) delivered in full, or
(b) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. If a reduction in severance and other benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that benefits are delivered to a lesser extent, reduction will occur in the following order: (i) reduction of cash payments; (ii) cancellation of awards granted “contingent on a change in ownership or control” (within the meaning of Code Section 280G), (iii) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards; (iv) reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of Executive’s equity awards. Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 5 will be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants immediately prior to a Change of Control or such other person or entity to which the parties mutually agree (the “Firm”), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 5, the Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company will bear all costs the Firm may incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 5.
Limitation on Exercise Notwithstanding the provisions of this Warrant, the Agreement or of the other Transaction Agreements, in no event (except (i) as specifically provided in this Warrant as an exception to this provision, (ii) during the forty-five (45) day period prior to the Expiration Date, or (iii) while there is outstanding a tender offer for any or all of the shares of the Company's Common Stock) shall the Holder be entitled to exercise this Warrant, or shall the Company have the obligation to issue shares upon such exercise of all or any portion of this Warrant to the extent that, after such exercise the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or through the ownership of the unconverted portion of convertible securities), and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (after taking into account the shares to be issued to the Holder upon such exercise). For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such sentence. The Holder, by its acceptance of this Warrant, further agrees that if the Holder transfers or assigns any of the Warrants to a party who or which would not be considered such an affiliate, such assignment shall be made subject to the transferee's or assignee's specific agreement to be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.2 as if such transferee or assignee were the original Holder hereof.
Limitation on Asset Sales The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
(1) the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets that are sold or otherwise disposed of, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors or a senior officer of the Company; and
(2) at least 75% of the consideration received by the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary from the Asset Sale is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that in the case of the sale of all of the IMC Salt Business Unit and Xxxxx, in the alternative, up to 35% of the consideration received by the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary in the sale may be in the form of Capital Stock of the Person that will hold the IMC Salt Business Unit and Xxxxx following the Asset Sale if the remainder is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided, further, that the requirement in this clause (2) shall not apply in the case of the sale of all or any part of the IMC Chemicals Business Unit. For the purposes of clause (2) above, the amount of any Indebtedness shown on the most recent applicable balance sheet of the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, other than Indebtedness that is by its terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee, that is assumed by the transferee of any such assets will be deemed to be cash. Additionally, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, must apply the Net Cash Proceeds from each Asset Sale to:
(1) repay Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement;
(2) repay (including by purchase) secured obligations;
(3) repay (including by purchase) any Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor; and/or
(4) make an investment in or expenditures for assets (including Capital Stock of any entity) (a) that replace the assets that were the subject of the Asset Sale or (b) that will be used in the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as existing on the Issue Date or in businesses reasonably related thereto (“Replacement Assets”). Any Net Cash Proceeds that the Company does not apply, or decides not to apply, in accordance with the preceding paragraph will constitute a “Net Proceeds Offer Amount.” The 366th day after an Asset Sale or any earlier date on which the Board of Directors of the Company determines not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with the preceding paragraph is a “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date.” When the aggregate Net Proceeds Offer Amount is equal to or exceeds $25.0 million, the Company must make an offer to purchase (the “Net Proceeds Offer”) on a date that is not less than 30 days nor more than 45 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from
(a) all Holders of Notes and
(b) all holders of other Indebtedness (“Other Indebtedness”) that (x) is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and (y) contains provisions requiring that an offer to purchase such Other Indebtedness be made with the proceeds from the Asset Sale, on a pro rata basis, the maximum principal amount of Notes and Other Indebtedness that may be purchased with the Net Proceeds Offer Amount. The offer price for Notes in any Net Proceeds Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes, if any, to the date of purchase. The following events will be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale and the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale must be applied in accordance with this Section 4.10:
(1) in the event any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), or
(2) in the event of the transfer of substantially all, but not all, of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted under Section 5.01, and as a result thereof the Company is no longer an obligor on the Notes, the successor corporation shall be deemed to have sold the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this Section 4.10, and shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.10 with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale. In addition, the fair market value of such assets of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries deemed to be sold shall be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this Section 4.10. Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding paragraphs, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may consummate an Asset Sale without complying with such provisions to the extent that (a) at least 75% of the consideration for such Asset Sale constitutes Replacement Assets and (b) such Asset Sale is for fair market value. Any cash consideration that does not constitute Replacement Assets that is received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with any Asset Sale permitted under this paragraph will constitute Net Cash Proceeds and will be subject to the provisions described in the preceding paragraphs. The Company shall mail a notice of a Net Proceeds Offer by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the record Holders as shown on the register of Holders within 30 days following the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Trustee, containing all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer and shall state the following terms:
(1) that the Net Proceeds Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.10, that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment; provided, however, that if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Other Indebtedness tendered in a Net Proceeds Offer plus accrued interest at the expiration of such offer exceeds the aggregate amount of the Net Proceeds Offer, the Company shall select on a pro rata basis, the Notes and Other Indebtedness to be purchased (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, as applicable, or multiples thereof shall be purchased) and that the Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 business days or such longer periods as may be required by law;
(2) the offer price (including the amount of accrued interest) and the Net Proceeds Offer date of payment (“Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) (which shall be not less than 30 nor more than 45 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date and which shall be at least five business days after the Trustee receives notice thereof from the Company);
(3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;
(4) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment therefor, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date;
(5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer will be required to surrender such Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the business day prior to the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date;
(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the second business day prior to the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of the Notes such Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; and
(7) that Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part will be issued new Notes in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided, however, that each Note purchased and each new Note issued shall be in an original principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. On or before the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, the Company shall (a) accept for payment Notes or portions thereof (in integral multiples of $1,000) validly tendered pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer, (b) deposit with the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 2.15 U.S. Dollars sufficient to pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, of all Notes to be purchased and (c) deliver to the Trustee Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the monies specified in clause (b) above and a copy of the Officers’ Certificate specified in clause (c) above, the Paying Agent shall promptly mail to the Holders of Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, out of the funds deposited with the Paying Agent in accordance with the preceding sentence. The Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to such Holders new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. Upon the payment of the purchase price for the Notes accepted for purchase, the Trustee shall return the Notes purchased to the Company for cancellation. Any monies remaining after the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer shall be returned within three business days by the Trustee to the Company except with respect to monies owed as obligations to the Trustee pursuant to Article Seven. For purposes of this Section 4.10, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent. To the extent the amount of Notes tendered pursuant to any Net Proceeds Offer is less than the amount of Net Cash Proceeds subject to such Net Proceeds Offer, the Company may use any remaining portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not required to fund the repurchase of tendered Notes for general corporate purposes and such Net Proceeds Offer Amount shall be reset to zero. The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions of this Section 4.10 by virtue thereof.
Limitation on Interest Each Bank, each Agent, Borrower, each other Credit Party and any other parties to the Loan Papers intend to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury Law from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof such Persons stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Loan Papers shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate. None of Borrower, any other Credit Party, nor any present or future guarantors, endorsers, or other Persons hereafter becoming liable for payment of any Obligation shall ever be liable for unearned interest thereon or shall ever be required to pay interest thereon in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate and the provisions of this Section 14.6 shall control over all other provisions of the Loan Papers which may be in conflict or apparent conflict herewith. Each Bank and Administrative Agent expressly disavow any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of any Obligation is accelerated. If (a) the maturity of any Obligation is accelerated for any reason, (b) any Obligation is prepaid and as a result any amounts held to constitute interest are determined to be in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, or (c) any Bank or any other holder of any or all of the Obligations shall otherwise collect moneys which are determined to constitute interest which would otherwise increase the interest on any or all of the Obligations to an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, then all such sums determined to constitute interest in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall, without penalty, be promptly applied to reduce the then outstanding principal of the related Obligations or, at any Bank’s or such holder’s option, promptly returned to Borrower or the other payor thereof upon such determination. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific circumstance, exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, Administrative Agent, Banks, Borrower and the other Credit Parties (and any other payors or payees thereof) shall to the greatest extent permitted under applicable Law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the instrument evidencing the Obligations in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time to time thereunder and the Maximum Lawful Rate in order to lawfully charge the Maximum Lawful Rate.

(c) the Province may adjust the amount of Funds it provides to the Recipient in any Funding Year based upon the Province’s assessment of the information the Recipient provides to the Province pursuant to section A7.1; or
