Matters Requiring Investor Director Approval So long as the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to elect a Preferred Director, the Company hereby covenants and agrees with each of the Investors that it shall not, without approval of the Board of Directors, which approval must include the affirmative vote of a majority of the Preferred Directors:
Notification of Acquisition Proposals From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify the Offeror, at first orally and then in writing, of any proposal, inquiry, offer or request (or any amendment thereto) (a) constituting, relating to, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (b) for discussions or negotiations relating to, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, or (c) for non-public information relating to the Company, any Company Subsidiary, Mineral Right or Property, for access to properties, books and records of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or for a list of Shareholders, in each case, of which the Company or its Representatives is or becomes aware. Such notice shall include a description of the terms and conditions of, and the identity of the person making, any proposal, inquiry, offer or request, (including any amendment thereto) and all written communications with such person, and shall include copies of any such proposal, inquiry, offer or request (or any amendment to any of the foregoing). The Company shall also provide such other details of the proposal, inquiry, offer or request (or any amendment to the foregoing) as the Offeror may request, acting reasonably. The Company shall keep the Offeror promptly and fully informed of the status, including any change to the material terms, of any such proposal, inquiry, offer or request, or any amendment to the foregoing, and will provide to the Offeror promptly all written communications with such person and will respond promptly to all inquiries by the Offeror with respect thereto.
Waiver of Notice; Approval of Meeting Whenever notice to the Members is required to be given under this Agreement, a written waiver, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a Person at any such meeting of the Members shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the Person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Members need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by resolution of the Board. All waivers and approvals shall be filed with the Company records or made part of the minutes of the meeting.
Shareholders' Approval The holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding common stock of the Purchaser shall have voted for authorization and approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
Waiver of Notice; Approval of Meeting; Approval of Minutes The transactions of any meeting of Limited Partners, however called and noticed, and whenever held, shall be as valid as if it had occurred at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy. Attendance of a Limited Partner at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting, except when the Limited Partner attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened; and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to disapprove the consideration of matters required to be included in the notice of the meeting, but not so included, if the disapproval is expressly made at the meeting.
Acquisition Proposals Except as contemplated hereby, the Company shall not (and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its officers, directors and employees and any investment banker, attorney, accountant, or other agent retained by it not to) initiate, solicit or encourage, directly or indirectly, or knowingly take any action to facilitate, the making of, or engage in any negotiations or discussions concerning, any proposal or offer to acquire all or any significant part of the business and properties or capital stock of the Company, whether by merger, purchase of assets, tender offer or otherwise (an "Acquisition Proposal"), or provide any non-public information concerning the Company to any third party in connection with an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing. In the event the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal, it shall, subject to any confidentiality obligations imposed upon the Company in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) inform Parent as to the receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall prohibit the Company from (a) furnishing information to, participating in discussions and negotiations directly or through its representatives or entering into an agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal with, any third party (including parties with whom the Company or its representatives have had discussions on any basis on or prior to the date hereof) who makes an unsolicited proposal or offer to the Company or makes an unsolicited request for non-public information about the Company (pursuant to appropriate confidentiality agreements), which proposal, offer or request did not result from a breach of the first sentence of this Section 5.7, if the Company Board determines in good faith, after receiving advice from its financial advisors and independent legal counsel at a meeting of the Company Board, that such action is required for the Company Board to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, (b) taking and disclosing to its stockholders any position, and making related filings with the SEC, as required by Rules l4e-2 and 14d-9 under the Exchange Act with respect to any tender offer or (c) taking any action and making any disclosure which the Company Board determines, after receiving advice from its financial advisors and independent legal counsel at a meeting of the Company Board, is required to be taken or made under applicable law (including, without limitation, laws relating to the fiduciary duties of directors), provided that at least 48 hours prior to the entry into or announcement of an intention to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall have provided written notice to Parent advising Parent of its intention to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal and specifying the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal.
Shareholder Action by Written Consent without a Meeting Any action which may be taken at any meeting of Shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by the holders of Shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take that action at a meeting at which all Shares entitled to vote on that action were present and voted. All such consents shall be filed with the secretary of the Trust and shall be maintained in the Trust’s records. Any Shareholder giving a written consent or the Shareholder’s proxy holders or a transferee of the Shares or a personal representative of the Shareholder or its respective proxy-holder may revoke the consent by a writing received by the secretary of the Trust before written consents of the number of Shares required to authorize the proposed action have been filed with the secretary. If the consents of all Shareholders entitled to vote have not been solicited in writing and if the unanimous written consent of all such Shareholders shall not have been received, the secretary shall give prompt notice of the action taken without a meeting to such Shareholders. This notice shall be given in the manner specified in the By-Laws.
Stockholders Approval (i) This Agreement shall have been approved by the requisite affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock present and voting at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting in accordance with applicable Law (the “Company Stockholders’ Approval”) and (ii) the issuance of Parent Common Stock in connection with the Merger shall have been approved by the requisite affirmative vote of the holders of Parent Common Stock entitled to vote thereon (“Parent Stockholders’ Approval”).
Approval of Stockholders If an option is granted by this Agreement prior to approval of the stockholders of the Plan, the option granted shall be null and void unless stockholder approval is obtained within twelve months after the Plan was adopted.
Alternative Proposals (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except as specifically permitted by Section 4(c) with respect to a Permitted Alternative Proposal, during the Interim Period, Oncor Holdings and Oncor shall not, shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries not to, and shall cause the directors (other than the Minority Member Directors (as defined in the Oncor LLC Agreement)), officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors, consultants, agents or representatives of any Oncor Entity (collectively, “Representatives”) not to, (i) initiate, solicit, propose, knowingly encourage or knowingly induce, the submission of, any Alternative Proposal; provided, however, that an Oncor Entity may interact with its equityholders in order to satisfy its fiduciary obligations and its obligations pursuant to the LLC Agreements and the Investor Rights Agreement and may, in response to communications from (without otherwise limiting the provisions of this Section 4) any of its direct equityholders or any third party who makes or seeks to make an unsolicited Alternative Proposal, make available public and non-public information (but only if such equityholder or third party has executed a confidentially agreement with Oncor on terms no less favorable in the aggregate to the Oncor Entities than terms of the Confidentiality Agreement) so long as such Oncor Entity promptly provides or makes available to the Purchasers such non-public information made available to such equityholder or third party (to the extent it has not already been provided or made available to the Purchasers), (ii) enter into, maintain or continue negotiations with any Person with respect to, any Alternative Proposal, or (iii) enter into any written letter of intent, agreement in principle or other agreement (whether or not legally binding and whether or not oral or written) with respect to an Alternative Proposal. In addition, during the Interim Period, Oncor Holdings and Oncor shall promptly advise Parent in writing of any Alternative Proposal, including, unless prohibited by applicable Law, the material terms and conditions of such Alternative Proposal (including any subsequent material modification to such material terms and conditions) and the identity of the Person making the same. Unless prohibited by applicable Law, Oncor Holdings and Oncor shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status and material details (including material modifications) of any Alternative Proposal. During the Interim Period, neither Oncor Holdings nor Oncor shall enter into any agreement with any Person which prohibits any Oncor Entity from providing information to the Purchasers that they are expressly entitled to receive from Oncor Holdings or Oncor in accordance with this Section 4(a); provided, that for all purposes of this Letter Agreement, the reasonable best efforts of Oncor Holdings and Oncor shall not include the expenditure of any fees or expenses or the undertaking of, or response to, any action, suit, claim, cause of action or other form of litigation.
