Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a LIBO Rate Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a LIBO Rate Borrowing; and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a LIBO Rate Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Representative, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a LIBO Rate Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each LIBO Rate Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the then-current Interest Period applicable thereto.
Section 83(b) Election Purchaser understands that Section 83(a) of the Code, taxes as ordinary income the difference between the amount paid for the Stock and the fair market value of the Stock as of the date any restrictions on the Stock lapse. In this context, "restriction" includes the right of the Company to buy back the Stock pursuant to the Repurchase Option set forth in Section 2(a) above. Purchaser understands that Purchaser may elect to be taxed at the time the Stock is purchased, rather than when and as the Repurchase Option expires, by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code (an "83(b) Election") with the Internal Revenue Service in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C within thirty (30) days from the date the Stock is purchased. Even if the fair market value of the Stock at the time of the execution of this Agreement equals the amount paid for the Stock, the 83(b) Election must be made to avoid income under Section 83(a) of the Code in the future. Purchaser understands that failure to file such an 83(b) Election in a timely manner may result in adverse tax consequences for Purchaser. Purchaser further understands that an additional copy of such 83(b) Election is required to be filed with his or her federal income tax return for the calendar year in which the date of this Agreement falls. Purchaser acknowledges and understands that it is solely Purchaser's obligation and responsibility to timely file such 83(b) Election, and neither the Company nor the Company's legal or financial advisors shall have any obligation or responsibility with respect to such filing. Purchaser acknowledges that the foregoing is only a summary of the effect of United States federal income taxation with respect to purchase of the Stock hereunder and does not purport to be complete. Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company has directed Purchaser to seek independent advice regarding the applicable provisions of the Code, the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which Purchaser may reside, and the tax consequences of Purchaser's death. Purchaser assumes all responsibility for filing an 83(b) Election and paying all taxes resulting from such election or the lapse of the restrictions on the Stock.

Section 336(e) Election If UTC determines, in its sole discretion, that one or more protective elections under Section 336(e) of the Code (each, a “Section 336(e) Election”) shall be made with respect to the Carrier Distribution, the Otis Distribution, and/or any of the Internal Distributions, the relevant SpinCo(s) shall (and shall cause any relevant member of such SpinCo Group(s) to) join with UTC and/or any relevant member of the UTC Group, as applicable, in the making of any such election and shall take any action reasonably requested by UTC or that is otherwise necessary to give effect to any such election (including making any other related election). If a Section 336(e) Election is made with respect to the Carrier Distribution, the Otis Distribution, and/or any of the Internal Distributions, then this Agreement shall be amended in such a manner as is determined by UTC in good faith to take into account such Section 336(e) Election(s), including by requiring that, in the event (a) any Contribution, Distribution, or Internal Distribution fails to have U.S. Tax-Free Status and (b) a Company (or such Company’s Group) that does not have exclusive responsibility pursuant to this Agreement for Tax-Related Losses arising from such failure actually realizes in cash a Tax Benefit from the step-up in Tax basis resulting from the relevant Section 336(e) Election(s), such Company shall pay over to the Company that has exclusive responsibility pursuant to this Agreement for such Tax-Related Losses any such Tax Benefits realized (provided, that, if such Tax-Related Losses are Shared Taxes or Taxes for which more than one Company is liable under Section 7.05(c)(i), the Company that actually realizes in cash the Tax Benefit resulting from the relevant Section 336(e) Election shall pay over to each of the other Companies responsible for such Taxes the percentage of any such Tax Benefits realized that corresponds to each such Company’s percentage share of such Taxes).
LIBOR Election (i) Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, so long as Borrowers have not received a notice from Agent (which notice Agent may elect to give or not give in its discretion unless Agent is directed to give such notice by the Required Lenders, in which case, it shall give the notice to Borrowers), after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to terminate the right of Borrowers to exercise the LIBOR Option during the continuance of such Event of Default, elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. at least 1 Business Day prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the “LIBOR Deadline”). Notice of Borrowers’ election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Revolving Loans or the Term Loan and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline, or by telephonic notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. on the same day). Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the affected Lenders. (ii) Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrowers. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, each Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense actually incurred by Agent or any Lender as a result of (A) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (B) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (C) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any LIBOR Notice delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, or expenses, “Funding Losses”). A certificate of Agent or a Lender delivered to Borrowers setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent or the Lender, as applicable, within 30 days of the date of its receipt of such certificate. If a payment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period would result in a Funding Loss, Agent may, in its sole discretion at the request of Borrowers, hold the amount of such payment as cash collateral in support of the Obligations until the last day of such Interest Period and apply such amounts to the payment of the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan on such last day, it being agreed that Agent has no obligation to so defer the application of payments to any LIBOR Rate Loan and that, in the event that Agent does not defer such application, Borrowers shall be obligated to pay any resulting Funding Losses. (iii) Unless Agent, in its sole discretion, agrees otherwise, Borrowers shall have not more than 5 LIBOR Rate Loans in effect at any given time. Borrowers may only exercise the LIBOR Option for proposed LIBOR Rate Loans of at least $1,000,000.
Cash Election Holders of JCN Common Stock shall be provided with an opportunity to elect to receive cash consideration in lieu of receiving Highwoods Common Stock in the Merger, in accordance with the election procedures set forth below in this Section 3.2. Holders who are to receive cash in lieu of exchanging their shares of JCN Common Stock for Highwoods Common Stock as specified below shall receive $65 per share of JCN Common Stock in cash (the "Per Share Cash Consideration"). The amount determined by multiplying $65 by the number of Dissenting Shares shall be defined herein as the "Dissenting Share Amount." The aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration to be paid in the Merger, plus the Dissenting Share Amount, shall be limited to 40% of the aggregate consideration paid in exchange for shares of JCN Common Stock and shall be defined herein as the "Cash Amount." A form for use by JCN shareholders to elect to receive cash and other appropriate and customary transmittal material (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected only upon proper delivery of the certificates theretofore representing JCN Common Stock ("Old Certificates") to an exchange agent designated by Highwoods (the "Exchange Agent")) in such form as Highwoods and JCN shall mutually agree ("Election Form") shall be mailed concurrently with the mailing of the Proxy Statement required by Section 8.1 hereof, or on such other date as Highwoods and JCN shall mutually agree ("Mailing Date") to each holder of record of JCN Common Stock on the record date ("Record Date") for the JCN shareholders entitled to vote at the shareholders meeting to approve the Merger as required by Section 8.1 (the "JCN Shareholders Meeting"). Each Election Form shall permit a holder (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) of JCN Common Stock to elect to receive cash with respect to all or a portion of such holder's JCN Common Stock. Any shares of JCN Common Stock with respect to which the holder (or the beneficial owner, as the case may be) elects to receive cash and does not dissent shall be referred to herein as the "Cash Election Shares." Any shares of JCN Common Stock with respect to which the holder (or the beneficial owner, as the case may be) either does not submit an Election Form or does not elect to receive cash and does not dissent, shall be collectively referred to herein as "Stock Election Shares." Any of the elections set forth in the foregoing paragraph shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received an effective, properly completed Election Form on or before 5:00 p.m. on the fifth business day prior to the date of the JCN Shareholders Meeting (or such other time and date as Highwoods and JCN may mutually agree, including as a result of any adjournment or postponement of the JCN Shareholders Meeting) (the "Election Deadline") which is not revoked or changed prior to the Election Deadline. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the person submitting a subsequent Election Form at or prior to the Election Deadline. In the event an Election Form is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, the shares of JCN Common Stock represented by such Election Form shall become Stock Election Shares unless the Exchange Agent shall have actually received an effective, properly completed Election Form prior to the Election Deadline and such Election Form is not revoked or changed prior to the Election Deadline. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. The Exchange Agent shall promptly notify JCN of any defect in an Election Form other than an immaterial defect disregarded in good faith by the Exchange Agent. Subject to the foregoing sentence, neither Highwoods nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in an Election Form. Within three business days after the Election Deadline, Highwoods shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among the holders of JCN Common Stock in accordance with the Election Forms; provided, however, if the amount of cash that would be issued upon the conversion of the Cash Election Shares is greater than the amount by which the Cash Amount exceeds the Dissenting Share Amount (the "Maximum Cash Election Amount"), then the Exchange Agent shall convert a sufficient number of Cash Election Shares (other than Dissenting Shares) into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration, which Cash Election Shares shall be selected pro rata from among all of the holders thereof, based upon the aggregate number of Cash Election Shares held by each of such holders, such that the amount of cash that will be issued in the Merger to satisfy the non-converted Cash Election Shares equals as closely as practicable the Maximum Cash Election Amount. Highwoods shall, at least two business days prior to the date of the JCN Shareholders Meeting, communicate to JCN the aggregate allocation of stock and cash, the amount of stock and cash going to each of JCN's shareholders, and the method in which such amounts were calculated.
