Substantive Consolidation Discussion Sample Clauses

Substantive Consolidation Discussion. Substantive consolidation is a judicially created doctrine arising from the general equity powers granted to the federal bankruptcy courts. Under the doctrine of substantive consolidation, a bankruptcy court may, if appropriate circumstances are determined to exist, consolidate the assets and liabilities of different entities by merging the assets and liabilities of an entity affiliated with the debtor into the debtor’s estate and treating the related entities as one consolidated entity for purposes of the bankruptcy proceedings. This power is implemented by Section 105(a) of Title 11 of the To the Persons listed on Schedule I hereto Page 18 [*], 2000 Bankruptcy Code which provides, in pertinent part, that “(t)he court may issue any order, process, or judgement that is necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this title.” Decisions regarding substantive consolidation are made on a case-by-case basis and reflect the court’s analysis of the particular factual circumstances presented. A court’s inquiry requires an examination of the structures of the entities proposed to be consolidated and their relationships with their respective creditors, affiliated entities and third parties. Circumstances in which substantive consolidation has been ordered include cases where it can be shown that (i) one or more entities are merely “instrumentalities” of one another or (ii) creditors justifiably relied upon the credit or financial condition of separate business entities as if they were one business entity. Where related entities have done an inadequate job of maintaining separate records and observing other formalities of separate existence, courts are more likely to find reasonable the expectations of the creditors that the assets of the second entity should be available to satisfy the indebtedness to creditors of the first entity. Orders for substantive consolidation have also been issued where the inter-relationships of entities are hopelessly obscured and the time and expense necessary to attempt to unscramble them are so substantial as to threaten the realization of any assets for creditors. In determining whether or not to order substantive consolidation, the courts have traditionally considered certain objective factors, including:

  • Substantive Consolidation Each Originator hereby acknowledges that this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are being entered into in reliance upon the Company’s identity as a legal entity separate from such Originator and its Affiliates. Therefore, from and after the date hereof, each Originator shall take all reasonable steps necessary to make it apparent to third Persons that the Company is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of such Originator and any other Person, and is not a division of such Originator, its Affiliates or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, such Originator shall take such actions as shall be required in order that:

  • Merger and Consolidation The Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, unless:

  • Notice of Consolidation or Merger In the event of a merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock or securities or other assets of the Company or another entity or there is a sale of all or substantially all the Company's assets (a "Corporate Change"), then this Warrant shall be exerciseable into such class and type of securities or other assets as Holder would have received had Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such Corporate Change; provided, however, that Company may not affect any Corporate Change unless it first shall have given thirty (30) days notice to Holder hereof of any Corporate Change.

  • Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the Common Stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 8(a) above), then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization, or change, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant (subject to adjustment of the Exercise Price as provided in Section 8), the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock as were purchasable by the Holder immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, or change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.

  • Provisions in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other Person, any merger of another Person into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each convertible Security then outstanding shall have the right thereafter, during the period such Security shall be convertible as specified in Section 14.01, to convert such Security only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such Security might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (i) is not (A) a Person with which the Company consolidated or merged with or into or which merged into or with the Company or to which such conveyance, sale, transfer or lease was made, as the case may be (a “Constituent Person”), or (B) an Affiliate of a Constituent Person and (ii) failed to exercise his, her or its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer is not the same for each share of Common Stock of the Company in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“non-electing share”), then for the purpose of this Section the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares). Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental indenture, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article. The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or transfers.
