Tender Offer (i) Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section X hereof, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than eight (8) business days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, unless the Company and the Purchaser have otherwise agreed), Purchaser will commence a tender offer (the "Offer") for up to 1,959,886 Shares (representing 75% of the Shares currently outstanding as represented by the Company in Section III.D) at a price of $1.525 per Share, net to the seller in cash (as such Offer may be amended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) (the "Offer Price"), which Offer shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Annex A hereto (the "Offer Conditions"). The initial expiration date of the Offer shall be the date 20 business days from and including the date (the "Commencement Date") the Offer is commenced (in accordance with the applicable regulations). Purchaser expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to waive any condition and to set forth or change any other term or condition of the Offer, provided that, unless previously approved by the Company in writing, no provision may be set forth or changed which decreases the price per Share payable in the Offer, changes the form of consideration payable in the Offer (other than by adding consideration), or imposes conditions to the Offer in addition to those set forth herein that are materially adverse to holders of the Shares. Purchaser covenants and agrees that, subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer, including but not limited to the Offer Conditions and the provisions regarding proration of the Shares to be purchased, it will accept for payment and pay for all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn that it is obligated to purchase (i.e., if at least 1,959,886 Shares are tendered, then 1,959,886 Shares will be purchased), as soon as it is permitted to do so under applicable law. Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to extend the Offer from time to time; provided, however, that, without the written consent of the Company, Purchaser cannot extend the Offer for more than five business days unless applicable laws or regulations so require or a condition which is a prerequisite to fixing the Closing Date has not been satisfied. In addition, the Offer Price may be increased and the Offer may be extended to the extent required by law in connection with such increase in each case without the consent of the Company.
Tender Offers In case (i) a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of Purchased Shares) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with (ii) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender or exchange offer, by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender or exchange offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (5) of this Section or this paragraph (6) has been made and (iii) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of the Company's Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender or exchange offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (5) of this Section or this paragraph (6) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Settlement Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Settlement Rate immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be equal to (x) the product of (I) the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date of the Expiration Time and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time less (y) the amount of cash plus the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the transactions described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above (assuming in the case of clause (i) the acceptance, up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer, of Purchased Shares), and (B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (x) the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock as of the Expiration Time and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) as of the Expiration Time less the number of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares").
Consent Solicitation (a) The Controlling Partnership and the Seller shall as promptly as practicable prepare a written consent and such other documents, substantially in the form of the draft provided by the Controlling Partnership to the Seller concurrently with the execution of this Agreement with such changes as deemed reasonably necessary by the Controlling Partnership and Seller acting in good faith (collectively, the “Consent Solicitation Documents”) that may be necessary or desirable (as agreed reasonably and in good faith by the Controlling Partnership and the Seller, taking into account requirements under applicable law) to obtain the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Seller Common Units for which a properly submitted consent form is submitted in response to the Consent Solicitation Documents (excluding in both the numerator and the denominator any Seller Common Units whose consent rights are controlled by the Controlling Partnership or its affiliates) to consummate the Purchase and Sale (the “Requisite Unitholder Consent”), all pursuant to the procedures to be agreed reasonably and in good faith by the Controlling Partnership and the Seller, taking into account requirements under applicable law. To the extent that the consent of holders of at least a majority of the Seller Common Units outstanding (excluding from the numerator and the denominator any Seller Common Units whose consent rights are controlled by the Controlling Partnership or its affiliates and any Seller Common Units whose consent rights are controlled as of the applicable record date by a person who has informed the Seller in writing that it will not submit a consent form in response to the Consent Solicitation Documents) have been obtained, all consents shall cease to be revocable and the Requisite Unitholder Consent shall be deemed to have been obtained on such date. Subject to Section 5.1(e), the Board has recommended that the holders of Seller Common Units consent to the matters included in the Requisite Unitholder Consent (the “Seller Recommendation”), and the Seller shall include the Seller Recommendation in the Consent Solicitation Documents.
Warrant Solicitation and Warrant Solicitation Fee a. The Company has engaged EBC, on a non-exclusive basis, as its agent for the solicitation of the exercise of the Warrants. The Company, at its cost, will (i) assist EBC with respect to such solicitation, if requested by EBC, and (ii) provide EBC, and direct the Company's transfer agent and the Warrant Agent to deliver to EBC, lists of the record and, to the extent known, beneficial owners of the Company's Warrants. The Company hereby instructs the Warrant Agent to cooperate with EBC in every respect in connection with EBC's solicitation activities, including, but not limited to, providing to EBC, at the Company's cost, a list of record and beneficial holders of the Warrants and circulating a prospectus or offering circular disclosing the compensation arrangements referenced in Section 3.3.5(b) below to holders of the Warrants at the time of exercise of the Warrants. In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 3.3.5(b), EBC shall accept payment of the warrant solicitation fee provided in Section 3.3.5(b) only if it has provided bona fide services to the Company in connection with the exercise of the Warrants and only to the extent that an investor who exercises his Warrants specifically designates, in writing, that EBC solicited his exercise. In addition to soliciting, either orally or in writing, the exercise of Warrants by a Warrant holder, such services may also include disseminating information, either orally or in writing, to Warrant holders about the Company or the market for the Company's securities, or assisting in the processing of the exercise of Warrants.
Purchase and Offering of Offered Securities The obligation of the Underwriters to purchase the Offered Securities will be evidenced by an agreement or exchange of other written communications (the “Terms Agreement”) at the time the Republic determines to sell the Offered Securities. The Terms Agreement will incorporate by reference the provisions of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided therein, and will specify the firm or firms which will be Underwriters, the names of any Representatives, the principal amount to be purchased by each Underwriter, the purchase price to be paid by the Underwriters and the terms of the Offered Securities not already specified in the Fiscal Agency Agreement, including, but not limited to, interest rate, maturity, any redemption provisions and any sinking fund requirements and whether any of the Offered Securities may be sold to institutional investors pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts. The Terms Agreement will also specify the time and date of delivery and payment (such time and date, or such other time not later than seven full business days after the time specified in the Terms Agreement by the Underwriter first named in the Terms Agreement (the “Lead Underwriter”) and the Republic agree as the time for payment and delivery, being herein and in the Terms Agreement referred to as the “Closing Date”), the place of delivery and payment and any details of the terms of the offering that should be reflected in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering of the Offered Securities. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Offered Securities will be several and not joint. It is understood that the Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Securities for sale as set forth in the Prospectus. If the Terms Agreement provides for sales of Offered Securities pursuant to delayed delivery contracts, the Republic authorizes the Underwriters to solicit offers to purchase Offered Securities pursuant to delayed delivery contracts substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto (“Delayed Delivery Contracts”) with such changes therein as the Republic may authorize or approve. Delayed Delivery Contracts are to be with institutional investors, including commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies and educational and charitable institutions. On the Closing Date the Republic will pay, as compensation, to the Representatives for the accounts of the Underwriters, the fee set forth in such Terms Agreement in respect of the principal amount of Offered Securities to be sold pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts (“Contract Securities”). The Underwriters will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or the performance of Delayed Delivery Contracts. If the Republic executes and delivers Delayed Delivery Contracts, the Contract Securities will be deducted from the Offered Securities to be purchased by the several Underwriters and the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter will be reduced pro rata in proportion to the principal amount of Offered Securities set forth opposite each Underwriter’s name in such Terms Agreement, except to the extent that the Lead Underwriter determines that such reduction shall be otherwise than pro rata and so advise the Republic. The Republic will advise the Lead Underwriter not later than the business day prior to the Closing Date of the principal amount of Contract Securities. The Offered Securities delivered to the Underwriters on the Closing Date will be in definitive fully registered form, in such denominations and registered in such names as the Lead Underwriter requests. If the Terms Agreement specifies “Book-Entry Only” settlement or otherwise states that the provisions of this paragraph shall apply, the Republic will deliver against payment of the purchase price the Offered Securities in the form of one or more permanent global Securities in definitive form (the “Global Securities”) deposited with the Fiscal Agent as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. Interests in any permanent Global Securities will be held only in book-entry form through DTC, except in the limited circumstances described in the Prospectus. Payment for the Offered Securities shall be made by the Underwriters (if the Terms Agreement specifies that the Offered Securities will not trade in DTC’s Same Day Funds Settlement System) by certified or official bank check or checks in New York Clearing House (next-day) funds or (if the Terms Agreement specifies that the Offered Securities will trade in DTC’s Same Day Funds Settlement System) in Federal (same-day) funds by official check or checks or wire transfer to an account in New York previously designated to the Lead Underwriter by the Republic at a bank acceptable to the Lead Underwriter, in each case drawn to the order of the Republic of Panama at the place of payment specified in the Terms Agreement on the Closing Date, against delivery to the Fiscal Agent, as custodian for DTC, of the Global Securities representing all the Offered Securities.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, CIG shall have the right to extend the Tender Offer beyond the Tender Offer Initial Expiration Date for: (1) any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof applicable to the Tender Offer or (2) any period required by applicable Law, and upon the Company’s request, CIG shall extend the Tender Offer beyond the Tender Offer Initial Expiration Date for one period of up to 30 days for the purpose of satisfying (x) the requirements under any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof applicable to the Tender Offer or (y) the waiting period requirements applicable to the Tender Offer under the HSR Act. CIG may extend the Tender Offer beyond the date on which shares of Class A Common Stock are first accepted for payment as a “subsequent offering period” (as such term is defined in Rule 14d-1(g)(8) under the Exchange Act in accordance with Rule 14d-11 of the Exchange Act (a “Subsequent Period”); provided, that upon the request of the Company, CIG shall extend the Tender Offer for one such Subsequent Period; provided, further, that no Subsequent Period shall be less than three Business Days nor more than 20 Business Days and that the total number of Subsequent Periods shall not exceed one. To the extent CIG amends or makes changes to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer pursuant to this Section 3.01(a), the Company and the NBCU Entities shall cooperate with CIG in making any filings or amendments required by the DGCL, the Exchange Act, the Securities Act or any other applicable Law, or as otherwise may be necessary to effect such amendment or change.
