Early Settlement (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.06, prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Scheduled Mandatory Settlement Date, a Holder may elect to settle its Purchase Contracts early, in whole or in part, at the Early Settlement Rate (“Early Settlement Right”).
(b) A Holder’s right to receive Common Stock upon Early Settlement of any of its Purchase Contracts is subject to the following conditions (in the case of Global Securities, subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary):
(i) delivery of a written and signed notice of election (an “Early Settlement Notice”) in the form attached to the Purchase Contract to the Purchase Contract Agent electing Early Settlement of such Purchase Contract; and
(ii) satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.04.
(c) If a Holder complies with the requirements set forth in Section 4.06(b) prior to the close of business on any Business Day, then that Business Day shall be considered the “Early Settlement Date.” If a Holder complies with the requirements set forth in Section 4.06(b) at or after the close of business on any Business Day or at any time on a day that is not a Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day shall be considered the “Early Settlement Date.”
(d) On the second Business Day following the Early Settlement Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.06(b) by a Holder with respect to any of its Purchase Contracts, the Company shall cause a number of shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract equal to the Early Settlement Rate to be issued and delivered, together with payment of (i) any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 4.12 and (ii) any dividends or distributions with respect to such shares constituting part of the Purchase Contract Settlement Fund (but without any interest thereon), to such Holder by book-entry transfer or other appropriate procedures pursuant to Section 4.10. The Person in whose name any shares of the Common Stock shall be issuable upon such Early Settlement of a Purchase Contract shall be treated as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on the relevant Early Settlement Date.
(e) In the event that Early Settlement is effected with respect to Purchase Contracts that are a component of Units, upon such Early Settlement, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate (pursuant to the Indenture) on behalf of the Holder and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, Separate Notes, in same form as the Notes comprising part of the Units, equal to the number of Purchase Contracts as to which Early Settlement was effected.
(f) In the event that Early Settlement is effected with respect to Purchase Contracts represented by less than all the Purchase Contracts evidenced by a Security, upon such Early Settlement, the Company shall execute and the Purchase Contract Agent and Trustee shall authenticate on behalf of the Holder and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a Security evidencing the Purchase Contracts as to which Early Settlement was not effected.
(g) Upon receipt of any Early Settlement Notice pursuant to Section 4.06(b), the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such Early Settlement Notice to the Company.
Termination Settlement Upon the occurrence of any Acceleration Event, Dealer shall have the right to designate, upon at least one Scheduled Trading Day’s notice, any Scheduled Trading Day following such occurrence to be a Settlement Date hereunder (a “Termination Settlement Date”) to which Physical Settlement shall apply, and to select the number of Settlement Shares relating to such Termination Settlement Date; provided that (i) in the case of an Acceleration Event arising out of an Ownership Event, the number of Settlement Shares so designated by Dealer shall not exceed the number of Shares necessary to reduce the Share Amount to reasonably below the Post-Effective Limit and (ii) in the case of an Acceleration Event arising out of a Stock Borrow Event, the number of Settlement Shares so designated by Dealer shall not exceed the number of Shares as to which such Stock Borrow Event exists. If, upon designation of a Termination Settlement Date by Dealer pursuant to the preceding sentence, Counterparty fails to deliver the Settlement Shares relating to such Termination Settlement Date when due or otherwise fails to perform obligations within its control in respect of the Transaction, it shall be an Event of Default with respect to Counterparty and Section 6 of the Agreement shall apply. If an Acceleration Event occurs during an Unwind Period relating to a number of Settlement Shares to which Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement applies, then on the Termination Settlement Date relating to such Acceleration Event, notwithstanding any election to the contrary by Counterparty, Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement shall apply to the portion of the Settlement Shares relating to such Unwind Period as to which Dealer has unwound its hedge (assuming that Dealer has a commercially reasonable hedge and unwinds its hedge in a commercially reasonable manner) and Physical Settlement shall apply in respect of (x) the remainder (if any) of such Settlement Shares and (y) the Settlement Shares designated by Dealer in respect of such Termination Settlement Date. If an Acceleration Event occurs after Counterparty has designated a Settlement Date to which Physical Settlement applies but before the relevant Settlement Shares have been delivered to Dealer, then Dealer shall have the right to cancel such Settlement Date and designate a Termination Settlement Date in respect of such Shares pursuant to the first sentence hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Nationalization or Merger Event, if at the time of the related Relevant Settlement Date the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property, the Calculation Agent shall adjust the nature of the Shares as it determines appropriate to account for such change such that the nature of the Shares is consistent with what shareholders receive in such event. If Dealer designates a Termination Settlement Date as a result of an Acceleration Event caused by an excess dividend of the type described in Paragraph 7(f)(ii), no adjustments(s) shall be made to the terms of this contract to account for the amount of such excess dividend.
Cash Settlement If Cash Settlement is applicable to any Option exercised or deemed exercised hereunder, in lieu of Section 8.1 of the Equity Definitions, Dealer will pay to Counterparty, on the relevant Settlement Date for each such Option, an amount of cash (the “Cash Settlement Amount”) equal to the sum, for each Valid Day during the Settlement Averaging Period for such Option, of (i) the Daily Option Value for such Valid Day, divided by (ii) the number of Valid Days in the Settlement Averaging Period.
Consequences of a Servicer Termination Event If a Servicer Termination Event shall occur and be continuing, the Trust Collateral Agent may, or at the direction of the Majority Noteholders shall, by notice given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Trust Collateral Agent if given by the Noteholders) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice or upon termination of the term of the Servicer, all authority, power, obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificate or the Other Conveyed Property or otherwise, shall pass to, be vested in and become obligations and responsibilities of the successor Servicer appointed by the Majority Noteholders; provided, however, that the successor Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any obligation which was required to be performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer. The successor Servicer is authorized and empowered by this Agreement to execute and deliver, on behalf of the terminated Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property and related documents to show the Trust as lienholder or secured party on the related Lien Certificates, or otherwise. The terminated Servicer agrees to cooperate with the successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the terminated Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the terminated Servicer, in the Collection Account or thereafter received with respect to the Receivables and the delivery to the successor Servicer of all Receivable Files, Monthly Records and Collection Records and a computer tape in readable form as of the most recent Business Day containing all information necessary to enable the successor Servicer to service the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property. The terminated Servicer shall grant the Trust Collateral Agent, the successor Servicer and the Majority Noteholders reasonable access to the terminated Servicer’s premises at the terminated Servicer’s expense.
Servicer Termination Event For purposes of this Agreement, each of the following shall constitute a “Servicer Termination Event”:
Termination Apart from a Change of Control If the Employee's employment with the Company terminates other than as a result of an Involuntary Termination within the twelve (12) months following a Change of Control, then the Employee shall not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits hereunder, but may be eligible for those benefits (if any) as may then be established under the Company's then existing severance and benefits plans and policies at the time of such termination.
Servicer Termination Events For purposes of this Agreement, the occurrence and continuance of any of the following shall constitute a “Servicer Termination Event”:
(a) Any failure by the Servicer to deposit into any Account any proceeds or payment required to be so delivered or to direct the Indenture Trustee to make the required payment from any Account under the terms of this Agreement that continues unremedied for a period of five Business days after written notice is received by the Servicer or after discovery of such failure by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer;
(b) Failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform, in any material respect, any covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement, which failure (i) materially and adversely affects the rights of the Securityholders and (ii) continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after discovery of such failure by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer or after the date on which written notice of such failure requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the Servicer by any of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing not less than 50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes;
(c) If any representation or warranty of the Servicer, in its capacity as Servicer, made in this Agreement shall prove to be incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made and the incorrectness of such representation or warranty has a material adverse effect on the Issuer or the Noteholders and such failure continues unremedied for 90 days after discovery thereof by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer or receipt by the Servicer of written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders representing not less than 50% of the Outstanding Amounts of the Notes; or
(d) The occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Servicer; provided, however, that a delay or failure of performance referred to under clause (a) above for a period of 10 days or clause (b) or (c) above for a period of 30 days will not constitute a Servicer Termination Event if such delay or failure was caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence.
Payments from the Gross Settlement Amount Within 14 days after Defendants fund the Gross Settlement Amount, the Administrator will mail checks for all Individual Class Payments, all Individual PAGA Payments, the LWDA PAGA Payment, the Administration Expenses Payment, the Class Counsel Fees Payment, the Class Counsel Litigation Expenses Payment, and the Class Representative Service Payment. Disbursement of the Class Counsel Fees Payment, the Class Counsel Litigation Expenses Payment and the Class Representative Service Payment shall not precede disbursement of Individual Class Payments and Individual PAGA Payments.
4.4.1. The Administrator will issue checks for the Individual Class Payments and/or Individual PAGA Payments and send them to the Class Members via First Class U.S. Mail, postage prepaid. The face of each check shall prominently state the date (not less than 180 days after the date of mailing) when the check will be voided. The Administrator will cancel all checks not cashed by the void date. The Administrator will send checks for Individual Settlement Payments to all Participating Class Members (including those for whom Class Notice was returned undelivered). The Administrator will send checks for Individual PAGA Payments to all Aggrieved Employees including Non-Participating Class Members who qualify as Aggrieved Employees (including those for whom Class Notice was returned undelivered). The Administrator may send Participating Class Members a single check combining the Individual Class Payment and the Individual PAGA Payment. Before mailing any checks, the Settlement Administrator must update the recipients’ mailing addresses using the National Change of Address Database.
4.4.2. The Administrator must conduct a Class Member Address Search for all other Class Members whose checks are retuned undelivered without USPS forwarding address. Within 7 days of receiving a returned check the Administrator must re-mail checks to the USPS forwarding address provided or to an address ascertained through the Class Member Address Search. The Administrator need not take further steps to deliver checks to Class Members whose re-mailed checks are returned as undelivered. The Administrator shall promptly send a replacement check to any Class Member whose original check was lost or misplaced, requested by the Class Member prior to the void date.
4.4.3. For any Class Member whose Individual Class Payment check or Individual PAGA Payment check is uncashed and cancelled after the void date, the Administrator shall transmit the funds represented by such checks to the California Controller's Unclaimed Property Fund in the name of the Class Member thereby leaving no "unpaid residue" subject to the requirements of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 384, subd. (b).
4.4.4. The payment of Individual Class Payments and Individual PAGA Payments shall not obligate Defendants to confer any additional benefits or make any additional payments to Class Members (such as 401(k) contributions or bonuses) beyond those specified in this Agreement.
Transfer to Avoid Termination Event If either an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist. If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period, whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i). Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be withheld if such other party's policies in effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed.
Termination Apart from Change of Control In the event the Employee’s employment is terminated for any reason, either prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control or after the twelve (12) month period following a Change of Control, then the Employee shall be entitled to receive severance and any other benefits only as may then be established under the Company’s (or any subsidiary’s) then existing severance and benefits plans or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company.
