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proration of the Shares to be purchased, it will accept for payment and pay for all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn that it is obligated to purchase (i.e., if at least 1,959,886 Shares are tendered, then 1,959,886 Shares will be purchased), as soon as it is permitted to do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").

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.
