Consummation of Acquisition Concurrently with the making of the initial Loans, (i) the Buyer shall have purchased pursuant to the Acquisition Documents (no provision of which shall have been amended or otherwise modified or waived in a manner that is materially adverse to the Lenders’ interests) without the prior written consent of the Agents), and shall have become the owner, free and clear of all Liens, of all of the Acquisition Assets, (ii) the proceeds of the initial Loans shall have been applied in full to pay a portion of the Purchase Price payable pursuant to the Acquisition Documents for the Acquisition Assets and the closing and other costs relating thereto, and (iii) the Buyer shall have fully performed all of the obligations to be performed by it under the Acquisition Documents.
Hostile Acquisitions Directly or indirectly use the proceeds of any Loan in connection with the acquisition of part or all of a voting interest of five percent (5%) or more in any corporation or other business entity if such acquisition is opposed by the board of directors of such corporation or business entity.
Permitted Acquisitions (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.14 and the requirements contained in the definition of Permitted Acquisition, the Borrower and any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries may from time to time effect Permitted Acquisitions, so long as (in each case except to the extent the Required Lenders otherwise specifically agree in writing in the case of a specific Permitted Acquisition): (i) no Default, Event of Default or Compliance Period shall be in existence at the time of the consummation of the proposed Permitted Acquisition or immediately after giving effect thereto; (ii) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice of the proposed Permitted Acquisition; (iii) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of such Permitted Acquisition (both before and after giving effect thereto), unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; (iv) the Borrower provides to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) as soon as available but not later than 5 Business Days after the execution thereof, a copy of any executed purchase agreement or similar agreement with respect to such Permitted Acquisition; (v) after giving effect to such Permitted Acquisition and the payment of all post-closing purchase price adjustments required (in the good faith determination of the Borrower) in connection with such Permitted Acquisition (and all other Permitted Acquisitions for which such purchase price adjustments may be required to be made) and all capital expenditures (and the financing thereof) reasonably anticipated by the Borrower to be made in the business acquired pursuant to such Permitted Acquisition within the 180-day period (such period for any Permitted Acquisition, a “Post-Closing Period”) following such Permitted Acquisition (and in the businesses acquired pursuant to all other Permitted Acquisitions with Post-Closing Periods ended during the Post-Closing Period of such Permitted Acquisition), there shall exist no Compliance Period; (vi) such proposed Permitted Acquisition shall be effected in accordance with the relevant requirements of Section 9.17; (vii) the Borrower determines in good faith that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole are not likely to assume or become liable for material increased contingent liabilities as a result of such proposed Permitted Acquisition (excluding, however, Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 10.04 in connection therewith); (viii) substantially all of the Acquired Entity or Business acquired pursuant to the respective Permitted Acquisition is in a Qualified Jurisdiction, provided, however, the respective proposed Permitted Acquisition shall not be required to meet the requirements set forth above in this clause (viii) if the Maximum Permitted Consideration payable in connection with such Permitted Acquisition, when aggregated with the Maximum Permitted Consideration payable in connection with all other Permitted Acquisitions consummated after the Initial Borrowing Date in which all or substantially all of the Acquired Entity or Business so acquired were not in Qualified Jurisdictions, does not exceed $300,000,000; and (ix) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent on the date of the consummation of such proposed Permitted Acquisition, an officer’s certificate executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, certifying to the best of his knowledge, compliance with the requirements of preceding clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, and clauses (v) through (viii), inclusive, and containing the calculations required by the preceding clauses (iii) and (viii).
Investments and Acquisitions The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, make or suffer to exist any Investments (including without limitation, loans and advances to, and other Investments in, Subsidiaries), or commitments therefor, or to create any Subsidiary or to become or remain a partner in any partnership or joint venture, or to make any Acquisition of any Person, except:
Mergers, Acquisitions Merge or consolidate with any Person (whether or not the Company is the surviving entity), except a Subsidiary may consolidate with, or merge into, the Company or another Subsidiary, or, except as permitted by subsection 7.9(f), acquire all or substantially all of the assets or any of the capital stock of any Person.
Mergers and Acquisitions The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, become a party to any merger or consolidation, or agree to or effect any asset acquisition or stock acquisition (other than the acquisition of assets in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices) except the merger or consolidation of one or more of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower with and into the Borrower, or the merger or consolidation of two or more Subsidiaries of the Borrower.
No Acquisitions or Dispositions (i) There are no contracts, letters of intent, term sheets, agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or disposition by any of the Company or its subsidiaries of interests in assets or real property that are required to be described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus that are not so described; and (ii) except as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has sold any real property to a third party during the immediately preceding twelve (12) calendar months, except for such sales as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Limited Condition Acquisitions Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, when calculating any applicable ratio or any basket based on Consolidated EBITDA or total assets, or determining other compliance with this Agreement (including the determination of compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom, but excluding Section 4.02 to the extent set forth therein) in connection with a Specified Transaction undertaken in connection with the consummation of a Limited Condition Acquisition, the date of determination of such ratio or any basket based on Consolidated EBITDA or total assets, and determination of whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom or other applicable covenant shall, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”) and if, after such ratios and other provisions are measured on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other Specified Transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratios and provisions, such provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with; provided that no such acquisition shall constitute a Limited Condition Acquisition unless the Payment Conditions are satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis on the applicable LCA Test Date. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any of such ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition, such ratios and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder and (y) such ratios and other provisions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related Specified Transactions. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to any other Specified Transaction on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.
No Acquisitions The Company shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, (i) acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial equity interest in or a substantial portion of the assets of, or by any other manner, any business or any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof or (ii) other than in the ordinary course of business, otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets which, in the case of this clause (ii), are material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company.
Prohibition of Short Sales and Hedging Transactions The Investor agrees that beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 11, the Investor and its agents, representatives and affiliates shall not in any manner whatsoever enter into or effect, directly or indirectly, any (i) “short sale” (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock or (ii) hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to the Common Stock.
