(i) the aggregate number of shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, automatically shall be converted into and deemed to represent the right to receive (1) the aggregate number of shares of TCI Stock set forth on Annex I hereto and (2) subject to the adjustments described in Annex I hereto, the aggregate amount of cash set forth on Annex I hereto (the number of shares of TCI Stock and, subject to the adjustments described on Annex I hereto, the amount of cash allocable to the holders of the Company Stock being set forth on Annex I);
(ii) all shares of Company Stock that are held by the Company as treasury stock shall be canceled and retired and no shares of TCI Stock or other consideration shall be delivered or paid in exchange therefor; and
(iii) each share of Newco Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of TCI, automatically be converted into one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation which shall constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time of the Merger, all of which shall be owned by TCI. All TCI Stock received by the Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement shall, except for restrictions on resale or transfer described in Sections 15 and 16 hereof, have the same rights as all the other shares of outstanding TCI Stock by reason of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of TCI or as otherwise provided by the Delaware GCL. All TCI Stock received by the Stockholders shall be issued and delivered to the Stockholders free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances of any kind or nature. All voting rights of such TCI Stock received by the Stockholders shall be fully exercisable by the Stockholders and the Stockholders shall not be deprived nor restricted in exercising those rights. At the Effective Time of the Merger, TCI shall have no class of capital stock issued and outstanding other than the TCI Stock and the Restricted Voting Common Stock.
Effect of Conversion All shares of Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor, to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion as provided in Subsection 5.2 and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Any shares of Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.
Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of Loans Provided that no Default (other than a Default arising from any of the events specified in Section 10.1(e), (f) and (n) hereof) or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Borrower shall have the option to (a) convert at any time all or any portion of its outstanding Base Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into one or more LIBOR Rate Loans or (b) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, (i) convert all or any part of its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof into Base Rate Loans or (c) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, continue the relevant LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans. Whenever the Borrower desires to convert or continue Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C (a "Notice of Conversion/ Continuation") not later than 12:00 noon (Charlotte time) three (3) Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Loan is to be effective specifying (A) the Loans to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (B) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the principal amount of such Loans to be converted or continued, and (D) the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued LIBOR Rate Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such Notice of Conversion/Continuation.
Manner of Converting Shares Each share of CenterState common stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding following the Effective Time and shall be unchanged by the Merger. Each share of common stock of Charter owned directly by CenterState, Charter or any of their respective subsidiaries (other than shares in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like for the benefit of customers or shares held as collateral for outstanding debt previously contracted) immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each share of Charter common stock that is remitted to Charter prior to the Effective Time for purposes of repaying amounts owed by the CharterBank Employee Stock Ownership Plan to Charter, shall be cancelled and retired at the Effective Time without any conversion thereof, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto. Each share of common stock of Charter issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares described in the immediately preceding paragraph), shall be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.738 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of CenterState common stock (the “Stock Consideration”) and (ii) $2.30 in cash, without interest (the “Cash Consideration” and, together with the Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”), and cash in lieu of any fractional shares. CenterState shall pay or cause to be paid to each holder of a fractional share of CenterState common stock, rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, an amount of cash (without interest and rounded to the nearest whole cent) determined by multiplying the fractional share interest in CenterState common stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by the average closing price of CenterState common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Stock Market for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the later of (i) the day on which the last required regulatory approval for consummation of the Merger is obtained without regard to any requisite waiting period, or (ii) the date on which Charter stockholders approve the Merger (the “CenterState Average Stock Price”). If the number of shares of CenterState common stock or Charter common stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall be increased or decreased as a result of a stock split, stock combination, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar transaction, with respect to such stock, and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration shall be proportionately adjusted as necessary to preserve the relative economic benefit to CenterState and Charter.

For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Debenture beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Debentures or the Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
