Partial
Termination Payment.
|
In
consideration of the Transaction 1 Partial Termination and the Transaction 2
Partial Termination, WING agrees to pay USD 24,230,000 (the “Preliminary Termination
Payment”) to KFIL for value on or before June 18, 2008 (the “Payment Date”). The
Preliminary Termination Payment was calculated by the Calculation Agent
utilizing a fair market value with respect to the Transactions as of the Partial
Termination Date. The Preliminary Termination Payment shall be subject to
adjustment as follows:
As soon
as reasonably practicable following the Trade Date the Calculation Agent shall
solicit a fairness opinion as to the Preliminary Termination Payment from an
internationally recognized expert in the valuation of the Reference Obligation.
The fairness opinion shall specify a range (the “Fairness Termination Payment
Range”) within which the Preliminary Termination Payment must fall in
order to be subject to such fairness opinion.
(a) If
the Preliminary Termination Payment is within the Fairness Termination Payment
Range, the Preliminary Termination Payment shall be the Partial Termination
Payment.
(b) If
the Preliminary Termination Payment is not within the Fairness termination
Payment Range, the Calculation Agent shall adjust the Preliminary Termination
Payment by an amount (which may be a positive or negative amount) (the “Adjustment Amount”)
equal to the amount required such that the aggregate of the Preliminary
Termination Payment and the Adjustment Amount (the “Adjusted Preliminary
Termination Payment”) is an amount equal to the median of the Fairness
termination Payment Range, and the Adjusted Preliminary Termination Payment
shall be the Partial Termination Payment.
