The issuance of the OP Units and admission of the recipients thereof as limited partners of the Operating Partnership pursuant to Section 1.05(b) shall be evidenced by an amendment to Exhibit A of the Operating Partnership Agreement, and the Operating Partnership shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, an executed copy of such amendment to each Pre-Formation Participant receiving OP Units hereunder. Each certificate representing REIT Shares issuable as Merger Consideration shall bear the following legend: THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE TRANSFEROR DELIVERS TO THE CORPORATION AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, TO THE EFFECT THAT THE PROPOSED SALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS. THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON BENEFICIAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE CORPORATION’S MAINTENANCE OF ITS STATUS AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”). 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. IF ANY OF THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OR OWNERSHIP SET FORTH IN (I) THROUGH (III) ABOVE ARE VIOLATED, THE SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK REPRESENTED HEREBY WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFERRED TO A TRUSTEE OF A TRUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF ONE OR MORE CHARITABLE BENEFICIARIES. IN ADDITION, THE CORPORATION MAY TAKE OTHER ACTIONS, INCLUDING REDEEMING SHARES UPON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SPECIFIED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION IF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DETERMINES THAT OWNERSHIP OR A TRANSFER OR OTHER EVENT MAY VIOLATE THE RESTRICTIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE. FURTHERMORE, UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF CERTAIN EVENTS, ATTEMPTED TRANSFERS IN VIOLATION OF THE RESTRICTIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE MAY BE VOID AB INITIO. ALL CAPITALIZED TERMS IN THIS LEGEND HAVE THE MEANINGS DEFINED IN THE CHARTER OF THE CORPORATION, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, A COPY OF WHICH, INCLUDING THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP, WILL BE FURNISHED TO EACH HOLDER OF CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION ON REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE. REQUESTS FOR SUCH A COPY MAY BE DIRECTED TO THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION AT ITS PRINCIPAL OFFICE.
(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.
Adjustment of Merger Consideration If, subsequent to the date of this Agreement but prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class as a result of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, split, combination, exchange, recapitalization or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted.
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.
Merger Consideration As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquisition, OilQuip, or A-C:
(a) Each share of OilQuip Common Stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted, without any action on the part of the holders thereof (the "Shareholders"), into (i) 40 shares of the common stock, par value $0.15 per share, of A-C ("A-C Common Stock"), and (ii) the right to receive 960 shares of Common Stock on the Amendment Date (as defined in Section 7.11); provided that no fractional shares of A-C Common Stock shall be delivered (and the number of shares of A-C Common Stock to be delivered to any Shareholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number) and the Shareholders shall not be entitled to cash in lieu of fractional shares; provided further that no more than an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of A-C Common Stock shall be issued or issuable at the Effective Time and on the Amendment Date pursuant to the Merger. Immediately following the Effective Time, the Shareholders shall deliver to A-C the certificates representing the OilQuip Common Stock, and A-C shall cause A-C's transfer agent to deliver to the Shareholders certificates representing the A-C Common Stock described in (i) above in accordance with Exhibit A hereto; and immediately following the Amendment Date, A-C shall cause A-C's transfer agent to deliver to the Shareholders certificates representing the A-C Common Stock described in clause (ii) above in accordance with Exhibit A. The A-C Common Stock issued pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) shall be duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable. The Shareholders shall have no right to transfer or assign the right to receive the A-C Common Stock prior to the issuance thereof.
(b) Each share of Acquisition Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, into one (1) duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of OilQuip Common Stock. All shares of A-C Common Stock issued in accordance with Section 3.1 shall be deemed to be in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to shares of OilQuip Common Stock held by the Shareholders, and shall be duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable.
Delivery of Merger Consideration (a) As soon as practicable, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record (the “Holder”), of shares of Target Common Stock as of the Effective Time (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificate(s) shall pass, only upon delivery of Certificate(s) (or affidavits of loss in lieu of any Certificate(s)) to the Exchange Agent and shall be substantially in such form as shall be prescribed by the Exchange Agent) (the “Letter of Transmittal”), and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering Certificate(s) in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration upon surrender of any Certificate. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to provide Target a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the Letter of Transmittal and other transfer documents, or any amendments or supplements thereto, prior to disseminating to the Holders and Parent shall consider and shall cause the Exchange Agent to consider any comments proposed by Target in good faith.
(b) Within five (5) Business Days after surrender to the Exchange Agent of its Certificate(s), accompanied by a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, the Exchange Agent shall pay and distribute to such Holder of Target Common Stock the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of the shares of Target Common Stock represented by its Certificate(s), as applicable. Until so surrendered, each such Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time, for all purposes, only the right to receive, without interest, the Per Share Merger Consideration upon surrender of such Target Common Stock in accordance with, and any dividends or distributions to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to, this Article II.
(c) In the event of a transfer of ownership of a Certificate representing Target Common Stock that is not registered in the stock transfer records of Target, the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(b) in exchange therefor to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Target Common Stock so surrendered is registered if the Certificate formerly representing such Target Common Stock shall be properly endorsed, if a Certificate, or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment or issuance shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment or issuance to a Person other than the registered Holder or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that the Tax has been paid or is not applicable. The Exchange Agent (or, subsequent to the first anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Per Share Merger Consideration and any other cash amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Holder of Target Common Stock (including with respect to any Dissenting Shares) such amounts as the Exchange Agent or Parent, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment; provided, that any transfer or other similar Taxes payable in connection with the Merger (other than such Taxes required to be paid by reason of the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered Holder of the Target Common Stock with respect to which such payment is made) shall be borne and paid by Parent and Merger Sub. To the extent the amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent or Parent, as the case may be, and paid over to the applicable Tax authorities, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Holder of shares of Target Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent or Parent, as the case may be.
(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Target of any shares of Target Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than to settle transfers of Target Common Stock that occurred prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Target Common Stock is presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, it shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.3 and the procedures set forth in this Article II.
(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of Target as of the first anniversary of the Effective Time shall be paid to Parent; provided, that to the extent at any time prior to such first anniversary any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed would have to be delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, the Exchange Agent shall first notify Parent and, at Parent’s option, such portion shall instead be paid to Parent. Any former shareholders of Target who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent with respect to the Per Share Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon. None of Parent, Target, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former Holder of shares of Target Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.
(f) In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as Parent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Per Share Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.
(g) Parent, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, shall have the right to make all determinations, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, governing the validity of any Letter of Transmittal and compliance by any Target shareholder with the procedures and instructions set forth herein and therein.
(h) No dividends or other distributions declared with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be paid to the Holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until the Holder thereof shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.3. After the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.3, the record Holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to the whole shares of Parent Common Stock which the shares of Target Common Stock represented by such Certificate have been converted into the right to receive.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of Parent. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, after aggregating all shares converted with respect to such former shareholder of Target, Parent shall pay to each former shareholder of Target who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying (i) Stock Price by (ii) the fraction of a share (rounded to the nearest hundredth when expressed in decimal form) of Parent Common Stock which such Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.3. Additionally, the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration to be paid to each shareholder shall be rounded to the nearest cent.
