SUBJECT TO CERTAIN FURTHER RESTRICTIONS AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE CORPORATION’S CHARTER, (I) NO PERSON MAY BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF THE CORPORATION’S COMMON STOCK IN EXCESS OF % (IN VALUE OR NUMBER OF SHARES) OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF THE CORPORATION UNLESS SUCH PERSON IS AN EXCEPTED HOLDER (IN WHICH CASE THE EXCEPTED HOLDER LIMIT SHALL BE APPLICABLE); (II) NO PERSON MAY BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION IN EXCESS OF % OF THE VALUE OF THE TOTAL OUTSTANDING SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION, UNLESS SUCH PERSON IS AN EXCEPTED HOLDER (IN WHICH CASE THE EXCEPTED HOLDER LIMIT SHALL BE APPLICABLE); (III) NO PERSON MAY BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN CAPITAL STOCK THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE CORPORATION BEING “CLOSELY HELD” UNDER SECTION 856(h) OF THE CODE OR OTHERWISE CAUSE THE CORPORATION TO FAIL TO QUALIFY AS A REIT; AND (IV) NO PERSON MAY TRANSFER SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK IF SUCH TRANSFER WOULD RESULT IN THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION BEING OWNED BY FEWER THAN 100 PERSONS. ANY PERSON WHO BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWNS OR ATTEMPTS TO BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK WHICH CAUSES OR WILL CAUSE A PERSON TO BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK IN EXCESS OR IN VIOLATION OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MUST IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY THE CORPORATION.

(b) The Surviving Entity (or its successor in interest) shall not be liable to any holder of SPE LLC Interests for any portion of the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. (c) So long as some portion of the Merger Consideration is in the form of OP Units, the parties hereto intend and agree that, for United States federal income tax purposes, the Merger shall constitute an “assets-over” partnership merger within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(c)(3)(i), and, as a result, that (i) any payment of cash or REIT Shares for SPE LLC Interests of such holder shall be treated as a sale of such SPE LLC Interests by the holder and a purchase of such SPE LLC Interests by the Operating Partnership for the cash and/or REIT Shares so paid under the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(c)(4), and (ii) each such holder of SPE LLC Interests who accepts cash and/or REIT Shares shall explicitly agree and consent (the “Sale Consent”) to such treatment in their Consent Form as a condition to electing such consideration. To the extent the Operating Partnership acquires any SPE LLC Interests as described above, or previously acquired such interests, for United States federal income tax purposes the receipt by the Operating Partnership of the portion of property attributable to such SPE LLC Interests shall be treated as a distribution by the SPE LLC in redemption of such SPE LLC Interests. Notwithstanding Section 1.05(b) and any holder’s election as to the form of their Merger Consideration, if any holder (other than a non-accredited investor) fails to execute a Sale Consent prior to the Closing, such holder’s Merger Consideration shall consist solely of OP Units. Any cash paid as the Merger Consideration to a non-accredited investor for a SPE LLC Interests shall be paid only after the receipt of a Sale Consent from such holder.

At the Effective Time, all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares) and each non-certificated Share represented by book-entry (a “Book Entry Share”) (other than Excluded Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest, and each Certificate formerly representing Shares or Book Entry Shares owned by Dissenting Stockholders shall thereafter only represent the right to receive the payment to which reference is made in Section 4.2(f).
Adjustment to Merger Consideration The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Common Stock), cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(b) At the Closing, in accordance with the PICA FSS Reinsurance Agreements: (i) Seller shall transfer for deposit into the applicable PICA FSS Trust Account Investment Assets (PICA) that are Authorized Investments selected and valued in accordance with the Valuation Methodologies with an aggregate fair market value equal to the Net Initial Reinsurance Settlement Amount for the applicable PICA FSS Reinsurance Agreement as reflected on the Estimated Reinsurance Settlement Statement (“Transferred Investment Assets”) in accordance with Section 2.3(d); provided, if (A) the amount of the Initial Reinsurance Premium is greater than the Required Balance (as defined in the PICA FSS Reinsurance Agreements) as of the Effective Time for the applicable PICA FSS Reinsurance Agreement as reflected on the Estimated Reinsurance Settlement Statement (such excess amount with respect to the applicable PICA FSS Reinsurance Agreement, the “Overfunding Amount”) and (B) the applicable Overfunding Amount is greater than the applicable portion of the Ceding Commission, then Seller shall transfer directly to the applicable Reinsurer Transferred Investment Assets with an aggregate fair market value, determined in accordance with the Valuation Methodologies, equal to the amount by which the applicable Overfunding Amount exceeds such portion of the Ceding Commission, and only the remainder of the Transferred Investment Assets shall be deposited into the applicable PICA FSS Trust Account; (ii) The applicable Reinsurer shall transfer to the applicable PICA FSS Trust Account Authorized Investments such that, after giving effect to the transfers contemplated by Section 2.3(b)(i), the aggregate Book Value (as defined in the PICA FSS Reinsurance Agreements) in each such PICA FSS Trust Account is equal to the Required Balance (as defined in the PICA FSS Reinsurance Agreements) as of the Effective Time for the applicable PICA FSS Reinsurance Agreement as reflected on the Estimated Reinsurance Settlement Statement; and (iii) Seller shall credit to the applicable Modco Account the applicable Separate Account Assets (as such terms are defined in the PICA FSS Reinsurance Agreements).

Following the Closing, Seller shall provide reasonable documentation reasonably requested by Buyer for purposes of Xxxxx’s assessment of any credit-related impairments or credit-related losses as of the Closing Date. Seller shall sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to the applicable Reinsurer free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances or Encumbrances imposed under the applicable PICA FSS Trust Agreements) good and marketable title to the Transferred Investment Assets in respect of the PICA FSS Reinsurance Agreements (for the avoidance of doubt, together with all of Seller’s rights, title and interest thereto, including with respect to the investment income due and accrued thereon) and deposit on their behalf to the applicable PICA FSS Trust Account pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(i). Any investment assets to be transferred to a PICA FSS Trust Account shall be transferred in the manner set forth in the applicable PICA FSS Trust Agreement. All third-party costs or expenses incurred (whether prior to, on or following the Closing Date), including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in connection with the transfers of assets to the PICA FSS Trust Accounts or the Reinsurers (including any re-registrations or re-titling thereof) as contemplated by Section 2.3(b)(i) and this Section 2.3(d) shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Buyer.
Stock Consideration 3 subsidiary...................................................................53
Equity Consideration (a) The Equity Consideration (collectively, the “Buyer Parent Securities”) are or shall be restricted securities and have not been registered for resale under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be sold, transferred, hypothecated, or assigned by any of the Seller in the absence of a registration statement covering such Buyer Parent Securities that has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or the availability of an applicable exemption therefrom. For clarity, other than the Lock-up Agreement, there are no separate restrictions other than the stock having been issued in a private transaction, thereby making the shares restricted for Rule 144 purposes. If the Buyer Parent lists its shares on any public exchange, at Seller’s election, Buyer shall: (i) if registration occurs after the First Closing, ensure Seller’s Equity Consideration is registered, or (ii) if registration occurs before the First Closing, pay the Equity Consideration in registered shares. (b) The Seller is a knowledgeable, sophisticated, and experienced investor and has sufficient knowledge and experience in evaluating and making, and is qualified to evaluate and make, decisions with respect to private investments in and dispositions of securities, including investments in and dispositions of securities issued by Buyer Parent and Persons engaged in similar activities, and is capable of evaluating the risks and merits associated with the Buyer Parent Securities. (c) The Seller is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. (d) The Seller has had the opportunity to seek independent legal, investment, and tax advice in connection with such Seller’s decision to acquire its share of the Buyer Parent Securities. (e) The Seller is acquiring the Buyer Parent Securities for investment purposes only and not with a view toward the immediate resale or distribution thereof. The Seller acknowledges that, as a result of the substantial restrictions on the transferability of its share of Buyer Parent Securities, such Seller will be required to bear the financial risks of an investment in such capital stock for an indefinite period of time. (f) The Seller has reviewed the reports filed with the SEC by Bxxxx Xxxxxx and has received and reviewed a draft of Buyer Parent’s Form 1-K for fiscal year 2019, to be filed with the SEC pending completion of the Company’s audit procedures. The Seller understands the risks of its investment in Buyer Parent. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that it has had sufficient time and opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Buyer Parent concerning the terms of the issuance of Buyer Parent Securities pursuant to this Agreement and to obtain any additional information required by or pursuant to the Securities Act.
Deposit of Merger Consideration (a) Prior to the Effective Time, CenterState shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent (A) the number of shares of CenterState Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.01(c) in book-entry form equal to the aggregate CenterState Common Stock portion of the Merger Consideration (excluding any fractional shares), and (B) cash in an amount sufficient to pay (1) the Cash Consideration and (2) to the extent then determinable, any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.04 (collectively, the “Exchange Fund”). (b) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of Charter for one (1) year after the Effective Time (as well as any interest or proceeds from any investment thereof) shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to CenterState. Any stockholders of Charter who have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.07 and Section 2.08(a) shall thereafter look only to CenterState for the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of CenterState Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor, and any dividends or distributions to which such Holder shall have become entitled to pursuant to Section 2.08(b) deliverable in respect of each share of Charter Common Stock such stockholder held as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case without any interest thereon. If outstanding Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for shares of Charter Common Stock are not surrendered or the payment for them is not claimed prior to the date on which such shares of CenterState Common Stock or cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any governmental unit or agency, the unclaimed items shall, to the extent permitted by the law of abandoned property and any other applicable Law, become the property of CenterState (and to the extent not in its possession shall be delivered to it), free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled to such property. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any Party shall be liable to any Holder represented by any Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any Merger Consideration (or any dividends or distributions with respect thereto) paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. CenterState and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of Charter to establish the identity of those Persons entitled to receive the Merger Consideration specified in this Agreement, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of any shares of Charter Common Stock represented by any Certificate or Book-Entry Share, CenterState and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to tender to the custody of any court of competent jurisdiction any Merger Consideration represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share and file legal proceedings interpleading all parties to such dispute, and will thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.
Adjustments to Merger Consideration The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any reclassification, stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring (or for which a record date is established) after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.
