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.
Manner of Conversion The manner of converting the shares of (i) outstanding capital stock of the Company ("Company Stock") and (ii) Newco Stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, respectively, into shares of (x) TCI Stock and cash and (y) common stock of the Surviving Corporation, respectively, shall be as follows: As of the Effective Time of the Merger:
(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.
Cancellation of Converted Securities All Securities delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee to be cancelled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 3.09.

Upon the receipt of Special Instructions, the Custodian may deposit and/or maintain domestic Securities owned by a Fund in any other domestic clearing agency that may otherwise be authorized by the SEC to serve in the capacity of depository or clearing agent for the Securities or other assets of investment companies and that acts as a Securities depository. Each of the foregoing shall be referred to in this Agreement as a "Securities System", and all such Securities Systems shall be listed on the attached Appendix A. Use of a Securities System shall be in accordance with applicable Federal Reserve Board and SEC rules and regulations, if any, and subject to the following provisions:
(i) The Custodian may deposit the Securities directly or through one or more agents or Subcustodians which are also qualified to act as custodians for investment companies.
(ii) Securities held in a Securities System shall be subject to any agreements or rules effective between the Securities System and the Custodian or a Subcustodian, as the case may be.
(iii) Any Securities deposited or maintained in a Securities System shall be held in an account ("Account") of the Custodian or a Subcustodian in the Securities System that includes only assets held by the Custodian or a Subcustodian as a custodian or otherwise for customers.
(iv) The books and records of the Custodian shall at all times identify those Securities belonging to any one or more Funds which are maintained in a Securities System.
(v) The Custodian shall pay for Securities purchased for the account of a Fund only upon (a) receipt of advice from the Securities System that such Securities have been transferred to the Account of the Custodian in accordance with the rules of the Securities System, and (b) the making of an entry on the records of the Custodian to reflect such payment and transfer for the account of such Fund. The Custodian shall transfer Securities sold for the account of a Fund only upon (a) receipt of advice from the Securities System that payment for such Securities has been transferred to the Account of the Custodian in accordance with the rules of the Securities System, and (b) the making of an entry on the records of the Custodian to reflect such transfer and payment for the account of such Fund.

Such copies may be maintained by the Custodian in electronic form. The Custodian shall make available to the Fund or its agent on the next business day, by Electronic Communication, facsimile, or other means reasonably acceptable to both parties, daily transaction activity that shall include each day’s transactions for the account of such Fund.
(vi) The Custodian shall, if requested by a Fund pursuant to Instructions, provide such Fund with reports obtained by the Custodian or any Subcustodian with respect to a Securities System's accounting system, internal accounting control and procedures for safeguarding Securities deposited in the Securities System.
Manner and Basis of Converting Shares (a) At the Effective Time:
(i) each share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Acquisition Corp. that shall be outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive ten (10) shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, so that at the Effective Time, Parent shall be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Surviving Corporation;
(A) the shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (the "Company Common Stock"), and Class A 4% Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (the "Class A Preferred Stock"), which shares constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, and (B) the shares of Company Common Stock into which the Company's Series 1 Convertible 8% Promissory Notes (the "Series 1 Notes") and Series 2 Subordinated Convertible 12% Promissory Notes (the "Series 2 Notes") may be converted (the Company Common Stock, Class A Preferred Stock and the shares of Company Common Stock into which the Series 1 Notes and the Series 2 Notes may be converted being referred to herein collectively as the "Company Stock"), beneficially owned by the Stockholders listed in Schedule 2.5 (other than shares of Company Stock as to which appraisal rights are perfected pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL and not withdrawn or otherwise forfeited), shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Parent Common Stock specified in Schedule 1.5 for each of the Stockholders; and
(iii) each share of Company Stock held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled in the Merger and cease to exist.
(b) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(c) At the Effective Time, all issued and outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock not theretofore converted into shares of Company Common Stock shall, without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of Class A Preferred Stock, be converted into that number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder would have been entitled to receive in the Merger had such holder converted its shares of Class A Preferred Stock into Company Common Stock prior to the Effective Time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall (x) obtain the consent from the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock and Company Common Stock to the amendment of that portion of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation governing the rights and preferences of the Class A Preferred Stock to provide for the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock directly into Parent Common Stock at the Effective Time, all in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.5(c).
Holding Securities The Custodian shall identify on its books as belonging to the Portfolios the foreign securities held by each Foreign Sub-Custodian or Foreign Securities System. The Custodian may hold foreign securities for all of its customers, including the Portfolios, with any Foreign Sub-Custodian in an account that is identified as belonging to the Custodian for the benefit of its customers, provided however, that (i) the records of the Custodian with respect to foreign securities of the Portfolios which are maintained in such account shall identify those securities as belonging to the Portfolios and (ii), to the extent permitted and customary in the market in which the account is maintained, the Custodian shall require that securities so held by the Foreign Sub-Custodian be held separately from any assets of such Foreign Sub-Custodian or of other customers of such Foreign Sub-Custodian.
Exchange in Lieu of Conversion (a) When a Holder surrenders its Notes for conversion, the Company may, at its election (an “Exchange Election”), direct the Conversion Agent to deliver, on or prior to the Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Date, such Notes to one or more financial institutions designated by the Company (each, a “Designated Financial Institution”) for exchange in lieu of conversion. In order to accept any Notes surrendered for conversion, the Designated Financial Institution(s) must agree to timely pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, in exchange for such Notes, the cash, shares of Common Stock or combination thereof that would otherwise be due upon conversion pursuant to Section 14.02 or such other amount agreed to by the Holder and the Designated Financial Institution(s) (the “Conversion Consideration”). If the Company makes an Exchange Election, the Company shall, by the close of business on the Trading Day following the relevant Conversion Date, notify in writing the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and the Holder surrendering Notes for conversion that the Company has made the Exchange Election, and the Company shall promptly notify the Designated Financial Institution(s) of the relevant deadline for delivery of the Conversion Consideration and the type of Conversion Consideration to be paid and/or delivered, as the case may be.
(b) Any Notes delivered to the Designated Financial Institution(s) shall remain outstanding, subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary. If the Designated Financial Institution(s) agree(s) to accept any Notes for exchange but does not timely pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, the related Conversion Consideration, or if such Designated Financial Institution(s) does not accept the Notes for exchange, the Company shall pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, the relevant Conversion Consideration, as, and at the time, required pursuant to this Indenture as if the Company had not made the Exchange Election.
(c) The Company’s designation of any Designated Financial Institution(s) to which the Notes may be submitted for exchange does not require such Designated Financial Institution(s) to accept any Notes.
Method of Conversion This Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part as described in Section 2.1(a) hereof and the Subscription Agreement. Upon partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.
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.
Mechanics of Conversion (1) Before any holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to convert the same into Ordinary Shares such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor at the Office and shall give written notice to the Company of the election to convert the same (or any part thereof) and shall state therein the name or names of any nominee for such holder in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Ordinary Shares are to be issued. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter unless such notice states that conversion is to be effective on any later date or when any conditions specified in the notice have been fulfilled in which case conversion shall take effect on such other date or when such conditions have been fulfilled, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Shares, or subject to the transfer restrictions contained in these Articles to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Ordinary Shares to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Shares to be converted, or on any later date or when any conditions specified in the notice have been fulfilled and the person or persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Ordinary Shares as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with a QIPO, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Shares for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriter of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion of the Preferred Shares shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Shares until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities. In the event that the certificate(s) representing the Preferred Shares to be converted as aforesaid are not delivered to the Company, then the Company shall not be obligated to issue any certificate(s) representing the Ordinary Shares issued upon such conversion, unless the holder of such Preferred Shares notifies the Company in writing that such certificate(s) have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates.
(2) A conversion of Preferred Shares pursuant to one of the events described in Article 9(a)(2) shall be deemed to have taken place automatically regardless of whether the certificates representing such shares have been tendered to the Company but from and after such conversion any such certificates not tendered to the Company shall be deemed to evidence solely the Ordinary Shares received upon such conversion and the right to receive a certificate for such Ordinary Shares.
