Limitations on Asset Sales The Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale unless: (1) the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets included in such Asset Sale; and (2) at least 75% of the total consideration received in such Asset Sale or series of related Asset Sales consists of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of clause (2), the following shall be deemed to be cash: (a) the amount (without duplication) of any Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary that is expressly assumed by the transferee in such Asset Sale and with respect to which the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is unconditionally released by the holder of such Indebtedness, (b) the amount of any obligations received from such transferee that are within 60 days converted by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary to cash (to the extent of the cash actually so received), and (c) the Fair Market Value of any assets (other than securities, unless such securities represent Equity Interests in an entity engaged solely in a Permitted Business, such entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary acquires voting and management control of such entity) received by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary to be used by it in the Permitted Business. If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is repaid or converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then the date of such repayment, conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute the date of an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.09. If the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset Sale, the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary shall, no later than 360 days following the consummation thereof, apply all or any of the Net Available Proceeds therefrom to: (1) repay any Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities and, in the case of any such Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility, effect a permanent reduction in the availability of such revolving credit facility; (2) repay any Indebtedness which was secured by the assets sold in such Asset Sale; and/or (3) invest all or any part of the Net Available Proceeds thereof in the purchase of assets (other than securities, unless such securities represent Equity Interests in an entity engaged solely in a Permitted Business, such entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary acquires voting and management control of such entity) to be used by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in the Permitted Business. The amount of Net Available Proceeds not applied or invested as provided in this paragraph will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $10.0 million, the Issuer shall be required to make an Offer to Purchase from all Holders and, if applicable, redeem (or make an offer to do so) any Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Issuer the provisions of which require the Issuer to redeem such Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Sales (or offer to do so), in an aggregate principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness equal to the amount of such Excess Proceeds as follows: (1) the Issuer shall (a) make an Offer to Purchase (a “Net Proceeds Offer”) to all Holders, and (b) redeem (or make an offer to do so) any such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, pro rata in proportion to the respective principal amounts of the Notes and such other Indebtedness required to be redeemed, the maximum principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be redeemed out of the amount (the “Payment Amount”) of such Excess Proceeds; (2) the offer price for the Notes shall be payable in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date such Net Proceeds Offer is consummated (the “Offered Price”), and the redemption price for such Pari Passu Indebtedness (the “Pari Passu Indebtedness Price”) shall be as set forth in the related documentation governing such Indebtedness; (3) if the aggregate Offered Price of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by Holders thereof exceeds the pro rata portion of the Payment Amount allocable to the Notes, Notes to be purchased shall be selected on a pro rata basis; and (4) upon completion of such Net Proceeds Offer in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the amount of Excess Proceeds with respect to which such Net Proceeds Offer was made shall be deemed to be zero. To the extent that the sum of the aggregate Offered Price of Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer and the aggregate Pari Passu Indebtedness Price paid to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness is less than the Payment Amount relating thereto (such shortfall constituting a “Net Proceeds Deficiency”), the Issuer may use the Net Proceeds Deficiency, or a portion thereof, for general corporate purposes, subject to the provisions of this Indenture. The Issuer shall comply with applicable tender offer rules, including the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.09, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.09 by virtue of this compliance.
Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, pay any funds to or for the account of, make any Investment in, lease, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any assets, tangible or intangible, to, or participate in, or effect any transaction in connection with any joint enterprise or other joint arrangement with, any Affiliate; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit: (a) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from performing its obligations under the Existing Affiliate Agreements; (b) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from making any Investment permitted by Section 7.08; (c) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from making sales or leases to or purchases or leases from any Affiliate and, in connection therewith, extending credit or making payments, or from making payments for services rendered by any Affiliate, if such sales, leases or purchases are made or such services are rendered in the ordinary course of business and on terms and conditions at least as favorable to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary as the terms and conditions which would apply in a similar transaction with a Person not an Affiliate; (d) transactions between or among any of the Credit Parties and the Restricted Subsidiaries not involving any other Affiliate; (e) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from making payments of principal, interest and premium on any of its Indebtedness held by an Affiliate if the terms of such Indebtedness are substantially as favorable to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary as the terms which could have been obtained at the time of the creation of such Indebtedness from a lender which was not an Affiliate; (f) to the extent permitted by Section 7.08, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from participating in, or effecting any transaction in connection with, any joint enterprise or other joint arrangement with any Affiliate if the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary participates in the ordinary course of its business and on a basis no less advantageous than the basis on which such Affiliate participates; (g) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from maintaining, entering into or adopting any executive or employee incentive or compensation plan, contract or other arrangement (including any loans or extensions of credit in connection therewith to the extent permitted by Section 7.08), or any arrangement to terminate any of the foregoing, if such plan, contract, or arrangement (i) has been or is approved either (x) at any time by the shareholders of the Borrower in accordance with such voting requirements as may be applicable or (y) at any time by the board of directors of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary (or a duly constituted committee of such board), (ii) is immaterial in amount, or (iii) is maintained, entered into or adopted in the ordinary course of business of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary; (h) to the extent permitted by Section 7.08, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from making any loan, guarantee or other accommodation in accordance with the Borrower’s policies and practices concerning employee relocation in the ordinary course of its business; (i) any Restricted Payments permitted by Section 7.07; and (j) transactions not constituting Investments or Restricted Payments and involving payments, transfers of property or other obligations with a fair value not to exceed, for all such transactions after the Closing Date, $5,000,000.
Compliance with Other Laws Secured Party may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
Certain Other Matters (a) If the Closing shall occur, the indemnification provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for money damages in respect of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty or any breach of any covenant or agreement made in this Agreement other than in respect of any claim under Article VI or as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties hereto. No party shall be entitled to seek, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the parties hereto waive, any rights they might otherwise have to rescind the sale and purchase of the Shares. Without limiting the foregoing, the indemnities provided in this Article VIII shall constitute Purchaser Indemnified Party's exclusive remedy for any Losses arising under Environmental Laws (except with respect to Excluded Liabilities) and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties expressly waive and relinquish, on behalf of themselves, their successors and any assigns, any and all rights, claims or remedies such person may have against Seller under any Environmental Laws (except with respect to Excluded Liabilities), as presently in force or hereafter enacted, promulgated, or amended (including, without limitation, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, or any similar state or local law) or at common law. (b) Upon making any payment to an Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to any rights which the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates may have against any other Persons with respect to the subject matter underlying such indemnification claim and the Indemnified Party shall, at the Indemnifying Party's sole cost and expense, take such actions as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably require to perfect such subrogation or to pursue such rights against such other Persons as the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates may have.
Restrictions on Other Agreements No Principal Stockholder shall, directly or indirectly, grant any proxy or enter into or agree to be bound by any voting trust, agreement or arrangement of any kind with respect to its shares of Common Stock if and to the extent the terms thereof conflict with the provisions of this Agreement (whether or not such proxy, voting trust, agreement or agreements are with other Principal Stockholders, holders of shares of Common Stock that are not parties to this Agreement or otherwise).
