Derivative Transactions (a) All Derivative Transactions entered into by Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for the account of any of its customers were entered into in accordance with applicable laws, rules, regulations and regulatory policies of any Governmental Authority, and in accordance with the investment, securities, commodities, risk management and other policies, practices and procedures employed by Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and were entered into with counterparties believed at the time to be financially responsible and able to understand (either alone or in consultation with its advisers) and to bear the risks of such Derivative Transactions. Company and each of its Subsidiaries have duly performed all of their obligations under the Derivative Transactions to the extent that such obligations to perform have accrued, and, to the Knowledge of Company, there are no breaches, violations or defaults or allegations or assertions of such by any party thereunder. (b) Except as set forth in Company Disclosure Schedule 3.21, no Derivative Transaction, were it to be a Loan held by Company, would be classified as “Special Mention,” “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” “Loss,” “Classified,” “Criticized,” “Credit Risk Assets,” “Concerned Loans,” “Watch List” or words of similar import. Each such Derivative Transaction is listed on Company Disclosure Schedule 3.21, and the financial position of Company under or with respect to each has been reflected in the books and records of Company in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and no open exposure of Company with respect to any such instrument (or with respect to multiple instruments with respect to any single counterparty) exceeds $25,000.
Speculative Transactions Engage, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to engage, in any transaction involving commodity options or futures contracts or any similar speculative transactions.
No Speculative Transactions No Credit Party shall engage in any transaction involving commodity options, futures contracts or similar transactions, except solely to hedge against fluctuations in the prices of commodities owned or purchased by it and the values of foreign currencies receivable or payable by it and interest swaps, caps or collars.
Alternative Transactions (a) Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 6.02, until the Effective Time, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Company Subsidiaries, or any director, officer or employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, to, or authorize any investment banker, attorney or other advisor or representative retained by it or any of the Company Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage, or take any other action to knowingly facilitate, any Alternative Transaction Proposal or the making of any proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Transaction Proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish or provide access to any Person any information with respect to, any Alternative Transaction Proposal (except, subject to this Section 6.02, to disclose the existence of the provisions of this Section 6.02), (iii) authorize, approve or cause or permit the Company to enter into any merger agreement, acquisition agreement, memorandum of understanding, letter of intent or similar agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) relating to an Alternative Transaction Proposal (an “Alternative Transaction Agreement”) or (iv) agree or resolve to take any actions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of this sentence. (b) Until the Effective Time, the Company shall promptly (but in any event within one Business Day) notify Parent orally and in writing after receipt of (i) any Alternative Transaction Proposal or any inquiry, offer or proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Transaction Proposal or (ii) any request for nonpublic information with respect to the Company or Company Subsidiaries relating to any Alternative Transaction Proposal. Such notice shall include the material terms and conditions of such Alternative Transaction Proposal or inquiry, offer, proposal or request (including the identity of the Person making any such Alternative Transaction Proposal, inquiry, offer, proposal or request) and any amendments thereto. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.02(a), if at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval the Company receives an unsolicited, bona fide Alternative Transaction Proposal from any Person that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor, is, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, the Company may (i) furnish or provide access to information to the Person making such Alternative Transaction Proposal with respect to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood that the Company shall as promptly as is reasonably practicable make available to Parent and Merger Sub any written information concerning the Company or the Company Subsidiaries that is provided to any Person pursuant to this Section 6.02(c)(i) to the extent such information was not previously provided to Parent or Merger Sub) and (ii) engage in discussions or negotiations with such Person and its Representatives with respect to such Alternative Transaction Proposal. Upon Parent’s request, the Company shall provide Parent a reasonably detailed update on the status and terms of any discussions, negotiations, inquiries, offers, proposals or requests relating to any such Alternative Transaction Proposal. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall provide to Parent, as soon as practicable and in any event within one (1) Business Day after receipt or delivery thereof, copies of all draft agreements (and any other transaction documents to the extent such transaction documents contain any financial terms, conditions or other material terms relating to such Alternative Transaction Proposal, and a summary of the terms of any financing commitments related thereto to the extent applicable and available) sent by or provided to the Company. (d) Except as set forth in this Section 6.02(d), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, withhold, qualify, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the approval or recommendation by the Company Board of this Agreement or the Merger, (ii) approve, adopt, endorse or recommend any Alternative Transaction Proposal or Alternative Transaction Agreement or (iii) agree, propose or resolve to take any of the actions set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) of this sentence. Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, but subject to the other terms of this Section 6.02(d), prior to the time the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Company Board may (A) if an Intervening Event has occurred, withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify its approval or recommendation of this Agreement and the Merger in connection with such Intervening Event or (B) if the Company has received after the date hereof an Alternative Transaction Proposal that the Company Board determines, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor, is a Superior Proposal, withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify its approval or recommendation of this Agreement and the Merger and approve or recommend such Superior Proposal (any action in clause (A) or (B), a “Change of Recommendation”), in each case if, but only if: (i) the Company notifies Parent and Merger Sub in writing (a “Change of Recommendation Notice”), at least four (4) Business Days in advance, that the Company Board intends to effect a Change of Recommendation and the reasons therefor, which notice shall (y) in the case of an Intervening Event, describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances giving rise or relating to such Intervening Event, and (z) in the case of a Superior Proposal, identify the Person making such Superior Proposal, describe the material terms and conditions thereof (including any financing commitments related thereto to the extent applicable and available), and include unredacted copies of the most current and complete draft of any proposed Alternative Transaction Agreement; (ii) the Company negotiates, and causes its outside legal counsel and independent financial advisor to negotiate, in good faith with Parent and its outside legal counsel and independent financial advisor (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) during such four (4) Business Day period (the “Notice Period”) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would permit the Company Board not to effect a Change of Recommendation with respect to such Intervening Event or so that such Alternative Transaction Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, as the case may be; (iii) at the conclusion of the Notice Period, the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor, and after taking into account any changes to this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent, that (y) the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation would reasonably be likely to result in a breach of the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (z) in the case of a Superior Proposal, that such Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal; and (iv) in the case of a Superior Proposal, the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(d)(i) promptly after effecting such Change of Recommendation and immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with such termination, pays to Parent any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 9.02(b). In the event of any material change in the facts or circumstances giving rise to any such Intervening Event or to the terms of any such Superior Proposal (including any change to the amount or form of consideration), the Company shall, in each case, provide Parent with a new Change of Recommendation Notice, except that the Notice Period shall be two (2) Business Days instead of four (4) Business Days, before the Company Board may effect a Change of Recommendation and, in the case of a Superior Proposal, terminate this Agreement. (e) Nothing contained in this Section 6.02 shall prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any required disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, failure to so disclose would reasonably be likely to result in a violation of applicable Law; provided, however, that if such disclosure does not reaffirm the approval or recommendation by the Company Board of this Agreement and the Merger or has the substantive effect of withholding, withdrawing, qualifying, amending or modifying, in a manner adverse to Parent and Merger Sub, the approval or recommendation by the Company Board of this Agreement or the Merger, such disclosure shall be deemed to be a Change of Recommendation (it being understood, however, that a “stop, look and listen” communication to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act shall not be deemed a Change of Recommendation). (f) For purposes of this Agreement:
Excluded Transactions The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2.1 incidental to the registration of any of its Securities in connection with: (i) the IPO; (ii) a registration statement filed to cover issuances under employee benefits plans or dividend reinvestment plans; or (iii) any registration statement relating solely to the acquisition or merger after the date hereof by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of or with any other businesses.
Hedge Transactions The Loan Parties will not, and will not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, enter into any Hedge Transaction, other than Hedge Transactions entered into in the ordinary course of business to hedge or mitigate risks to which the Loan Parties are exposed in the conduct of their business or the management of their liabilities. Solely for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower acknowledges that a Hedge Transaction entered into for speculative purposes or of a speculative nature (which shall be deemed to include any Hedge Transaction under which any Loan Party is or may become obliged to make any payment (i) in connection with the purchase by any third party of any common stock or any Debt or (ii) as a result of changes in the market value of any common stock or any Debt) is not a Hedge Transaction entered into in the ordinary course of business to hedge or mitigate risks.
Alternative Transaction In the event that, in lieu of the Arrangement, the Purchaser seeks to complete the acquisition of the Company Shares other than as contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement on a basis that (a) provides for economic terms which, in relation to the Shareholder, on an after-tax basis, are at least equivalent to or better than those contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement taking into account the Intended Tax Treatment, (b) would not likely result in a delay or time to completion beyond the Voting Support Outside Date, and (c) is otherwise on terms and conditions not materially more onerous on the Shareholder than the Arrangement (including any take-over bid) any such transaction, an “Alternative Transaction”), then during the term of this Agreement the Shareholder may, on its own accord, and shall, upon written request of the Purchaser, support the completion of such Alternative Transaction in the same manner as the Arrangement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement mutatis mutandis, including by (A) depositing or causing the deposit of its Subject Shares (including any Company Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise, conversion or vesting, as applicable, of any Company Options, Company Compensation Options or Company RSUs) into an Alternative Transaction conducted by way of a take-over bid made by the Purchaser or an affiliate of Purchaser and not withdrawing them; and/or (B) voting or causing to be voted all of the Subject Shares (to the extent that they carry the right to vote) in favour of, and not dissenting from, such Alternative Transaction proposed by the Purchaser, provided however that the Shareholder shall not be required to exercise, convert or exchange any Subject Shares (other than Company Shares) in connection with an Alternative Transaction.
Derivative Contracts (a) The Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, enter into Derivative Contracts, solely for the benefit of the Class SB Certificates. Any such Derivative Contract shall constitute a fully prepaid agreement. The Master Servicer shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether any Derivative Contract conforms to the requirements of clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 4.09. Any acquisition of a Derivative Contract shall be accompanied by an appropriate amendment to this Agreement, including an Opinion of Counsel, as provided in Section 11.01, and either (i) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the existence of the Derivative Contract will not adversely affect the availability of the exemptive relief afforded under ERISA by U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Exemption ("PTE") 94-29, as most recently amended, 67 Fed. Reg. 54487 (Aug. 22, 2002), to the Holders of the Class A Certificates or the Class M Certificates, as of the date the Derivative Contract is acquired by the Trustee; or (ii) the consent of each holder of a Class A Certificate or Class M Certificate to the acquisition of such Derivative Contract. All collections, proceeds and other amounts in respect of the Derivative Contracts payable by the Derivative Counterparty shall be distributed to the Class SB Certificates on the Distribution Date following receipt thereof by the Trustee. In no event shall such an instrument constitute a part of any REMIC created hereunder. In addition, in the event any such instrument is deposited, the Trust Fund shall be deemed to be divided into two separate and discrete sub-trusts. The assets of one such sub-trust shall consist of all the assets of the Trust Fund other than such instrument and the assets of the other sub-trust shall consist solely of such instrument. (b) Any Derivative Contract that provides for any payment obligation on the part of the Trust Fund must (i) be without recourse to the assets of the Trust Fund, (ii) contain a non-petition covenant provision from the Derivative Counterparty, (iii) limit payment dates thereunder to Distribution Dates and (iv) contain a provision limiting any cash payments due to the Derivative Counterparty on any day under such Derivative Contract solely to funds available therefor in the Certificate Account to make payments to the Holders of the Class SB Certificates on such Distribution Date. (c) Each Derivative Contract must (i) provide for the direct payment of any amounts by the Derivative Counterparty thereunder to the Certificate Account at least one Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date, (ii) contain an assignment of all of the Trust Fund's rights (but none of its obligations) under such Derivative Contract to the Trustee on behalf the Class SB Certificates and shall include an express consent of the Derivative Counterparty to such assignment, (iii) provide that in the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such Derivative Contract shall terminate upon the direction of a majority Percentage Interest of the Class SB Certificates, and (iv) prohibit the Derivative Counterparty from "setting-off" or "netting" other obligations of the Trust Fund and its Affiliates against such Derivative Counterparty's payment obligations thereunder.
Arm’s Length Transactions During the term of this Agreement, all transactions and dealings between the Trust Depositor and its Affiliates will be conducted on an arm’s-length basis.
Adverse Transactions Enter into any transaction which materially and adversely affects the Collateral or its ability to repay the Obligations in full as and when due;
