Common use of Stockholder Termination Fee Clause in Contracts

Stockholder Termination Fee. In the event that any Acquisition Proposal is consummated, then each Stockholder shall pay to Holdco as soon as practicable, but in no event longer than two business days after receipt of the consideration paid to such Stockholder in connection with such Acquisition Proposal an amount (the "Stockholder Termination Fee") equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares Beneficially Owned by such Stockholder, multiplied by (y) the excess of the per share value of consideration paid or payable in consequence of consummation of the Acquisition Proposal (with the value of any non-cash consideration being determined by agreement of Holdco and such Stockholder or, failing such agreement within 10 business days of consummation of such Acquisition Proposal, as provided below) over $12. In the case of options on Shares, to the extent the same are cancelled for a payment in cash (the "Option Payment"), the amount due hereunder shall be the amount by which the Option Payment exceeds the product of (a) the number of Shares underlying such options and (b) $12. In the event that the consideration paid or payable in consequence of consummation of the Acquisition Proposal: (i) consists solely of cash, then the Stockholder Termination Fee shall be payable solely in cash, or (ii) consists of cash and other non-cash property, or solely non-cash property, then the Stockholder Termination Fee shall be payable in cash and such non-cash property in the same proportion as the cash bears to the value of the non-cash property issued or issuable in consequence of consummation of the Acquisition Proposal (as such value is determined herein). If Holdco and such Stockholder fail to agree promptly on the value of such non-cash consideration, then the parties shall appoint an independent investment banking firm reasonably acceptable to Holdco and such Stockholder to act as arbitrator (the "Arbitrator"). Upon the selection of the Arbitrator, Holdco on the one hand and such Stockholder on the other shall deliver to the Arbitrator and to each other their last and final offer concurrently in writing (the "Certified Offers"). The Certified Offers shall list one amount which the submitting party asserts is the appropriate valuation of such non-cash consideration as of the date of submittal. The Arbitrator's sole role shall be to select which one of the two Certified Offers most closely approximates the valuation the Arbitrator would have determined for such non-cash consideration, taking into account current market valuations of any publicly traded securities which constitute such non-cash consideration. The Arbitrator shall notify the parties of such determination. The determination of the Arbitrator shall be binding on the parties. All costs and expenses of the Arbitrator shall be borne by the parties whose Certified Offer is not selected. Each Stockholder acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 3(e) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction. Accordingly, if the Stockholder shall fail to pay when due any amounts which shall become due under Section 3(e) hereof, the Stockholder shall in addition hereto pay to Holdco all costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in collecting such overdue amounts, together with interest on such overdue amounts from the date such payment was required to be made until the date such payment is received at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate as announced from time to time by Citibank, N.A. as its "prime rate," "reference rate," "base rate" or other similar rate. Any payment required to be made pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall be made when due by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Holdco. The parties agree and acknowledge that in the event that any Acquisition Proposal is consummated, it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain with certainty the amount of damages to Holdco. Therefore, the parties agree that payment of the Stockholder Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall represent full liquidated damages. The parties agree that no party shall be liable for special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages of any nature arising from this Agreement.
