Without limitation of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, in the event (x) the aggregate Liquidation Preference of all then-outstanding Preferred Stock held by Parent or any of its Affiliates equals or exceeds the applicable Parent Termination Fee otherwise due hereunder and (y) Parent elects to offset the full amount of the Parent Termination Fee by all or a portion of such aggregate Liquidation Preference pursuant to the preceding sentence, then neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall thereafter have any liability with respect to any such Parent Termination Fee.
Termination Fee The Company shall pay to Parent $23,040,000 (the “Termination Fee”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent, in the event that:
(i) (A) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(i)(A) or Section 9.1(b)(i)(B) (provided, that with respect to such termination by the Company, the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(i) is then available to Parent) or by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(i); (B) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to such termination of this Agreement, an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced or shall have become publicly disclosed or publicly known; and (C) within twelve (12) months following such termination of this Agreement, (x) the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company enters into a definitive agreement with any third party with respect to an Acquisition Transaction or (y) an Acquisition Transaction is consummated; in which case the Termination Fee shall be payable within two (2) Business Days after the earlier of the events in clause (C)(x) or (y);

Any Termination Fee shall be paid: (x) in the case of clause “(i)” of the preceding sentence of this (b), within two (2) Business Days after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Acquisition Proposal, (y) in the case of clause “(ii)” of the preceding sentence of this (b), within two (2) Business Days following termination of this Agreement and (z) in the case of clause “(iii)” of the preceding sentence of this (b), concurrently with a termination of this Agreement under Section 8.1(f).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Termination Fee shall be payable only once and not in duplication even though the Termination Fee may be payable under one or more provisions hereof. Subject to Section 8.2(b), in the event that Parent shall receive full payment of the Termination Fee, the receipt of the Termination Fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Acquisition Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the Offer and the Merger (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Parent, Acquisition Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliates for damages or any equitable relief arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the transactions or any matters forming the basis for such termination.

In the event that the Company shall fail to pay the Termination Fee when due, Parent shall be entitled to receive interest on such unpaid Termination Fee and Expenses, commencing on the date that the Termination Fee or such Expenses became due, at a rate equal to the “prime rate” as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment (calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding) and in the event the Parent or Acquisition Sub commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the Termination Fee (or portion thereof), the Company shall pay Parent its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit.

RESIGNATION/TERMINATION The Warrant Agent may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder (except liabilities arising prior to resignation as a result of the Warrant Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (which bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct must be determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction)) after giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to the Company. In the event the transfer agency relationship in effect between the Company and Warrant Agent terminates, the Warrant Agent shall be deemed to have resigned automatically and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement as of the effective date of such termination. The Company may remove the Warrant Agent upon thirty (30) calendar days’ written notice, and the Warrant Agent shall thereupon in like manner be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder, except as have been caused by the Warrant Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (which bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct must be determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) prior to its removal. The Company shall cause to be mailed promptly (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to each registered Holder at such Holder’s last address as shown on the register of the Company, at the Company’s expense, a copy of such notice of resignation or notice of removal, as the case may be. Upon such resignation or removal the Company shall promptly appoint in writing a new warrant agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of thirty (30) calendar days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation by the resigning Warrant Agent or after such removal, then the Holder of any Warrant may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new warrant agent. A resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent and appointment of a successor Warrant Agent will become effective only upon the successor Warrant Agent’s acceptance of appointment. Pending appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent, either by the Company or by such a court, the duties of the Warrant Agent shall be carried out by the Company. Any successor warrant agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be a Person, incorporated under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and authorized under such laws to conduct a shareholder services business, be subject to supervision and examination by a Federal or state authority, and have a combined capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition; or in the case of such capital and surplus requirement, a controlled affiliate of such a Person meeting such capital and surplus requirement. After acceptance in writing of such appointment by the new Warrant Agent, such successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities under this Agreement as if it had been originally named herein as the Warrant Agent, without any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed; but if for any reason it shall be necessary or expedient to execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed, the same shall be done at the expense of the Company and shall be legally and validly executed and delivered by the resigning or removed Warrant Agent. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment, the Company shall send notice thereof to the resigning or removed Warrant Agent and shall forthwith cause a copy of such notice to be mailed (by first class, postage prepaid) to each registered Holder at such Holder’s last address as shown on the register of the Company. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 12(j), or any defect in any such notice, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be.
