General Cable Corporation (“Counterparty”) | |
From:

Credit Suisse International (“Dealer”) |
Dear Sir / Madam:
The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and
conditions of the above-referenced transaction entered into among Counterparty, Credit Suisse
International and Credit Suisse, New York branch (the “Agent”) on the Trade Date specified
below (the “Transaction”). This Confirmation constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to
in the Agreement specified below.
The definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (the “Swap
Definitions”) and the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity
Definitions” and, together with the Swap Definitions, the “Definitions”), in each case
as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into
this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Swap Definitions and the Equity
Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern, and in the event of any inconsistency between the
Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern. References herein to a
“Transaction” shall be deemed to be references to a “Share Option Transaction” for the purposes of
the Equity Definitions and to a “Swap Transaction” for the purposes of the Swap Definitions. For
purposes of this Transaction, “Warrant Style”, “Warrant Type”, “Number of Warrants” and “Warrant
Entitlement” (each as defined below) shall be used herein as if such terms were referred to as
“Option Style”, “Option Type”, “Number of Options” and “Option Entitlement”, respectively, in the
Definitions.
This Confirmation evidences a complete binding agreement between you and us as to the terms of
the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation (notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein), shall be subject to, and form part of, an agreement in the 1992 form of the
ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency Cross Border) (the “Master Agreement” or
“Agreement”) as if we had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule and
with elections specified in the “ISDA Master Agreement” Section of this Confirmation) on the Trade
Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of that Agreement and this
Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of this Transaction. The parties
hereby agree that the Transaction evidenced by this Confirmation shall be the only Transaction
subject to and governed by the Agreement.
The terms of the particular Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as follows:
General Terms:
Trade Date:
|
November 9, 2006 | |
Effective Date:
|
November 15, 2006 (the “scheduled Effective Date”) subject to cancellation of the OTC Warrant Transaction prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date by the Counterparty or Dealer. In the event of such cancellation, all payments, if any, previously made hereunder shall be returned to the person making such payment, including the Premium, and, in the event of a cancellation by Counterparty or a cancellation by Dealer for the reason that, due to events occurring after the time of execution of this Confirmation, it has become commercially impracticable for Dealer to perform its obligations under |
1
Execution Copy
| the Transaction, Counterparty shall pay Dealer an amount equal to the product of (a) the Number of Warrants and (b) 0.30 multiplied by an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the closing price of the Shares on the Effective Date over the closing price of the Shares on the Trade Date (the “Break Expense”); provided that in no event shall the Break Expense exceed the product of 15% times U.S.$7,000,000. Dealer and Counterparty agree that actual damages would be difficult to ascertain under these circumstances and that the amount of liquidated damages resulting from the determination in the preceding sentence is a good faith estimate of such damages and not a penalty. Failure by a party to deliver the documents specified to be delivered by it in paragraph (b) under “Delivery Requirements” below at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the scheduled Effective Date shall (unless waived by the other party) be deemed to be a cancellation by the party failing to deliver. | ||

Strike Price Differential:
|
For any Valuation Date, (i) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Strike Price, an amount equal to the excess of such Settlement Price over the Strike Price for such Valuation Date or (ii) if such Settlement Price is less than or equal to the Strike Price, zero. | |
Settlement Date:
|
Settlement with respect to each Exercise Date shall occur on the third (3rd) Full Exchange Business Day following the final Valuation Date, provided that Dealer shall have the right to request by prior written notice to Counterparty a Settlement Date with respect to any Exercise Date and the related Share Delivery Quantity that is three (3) Full Exchange Business Days following such Exercise Date. Such request shall not unreasonably be denied. | |
Covenants relating to Net
Physical Settlement:
|
If, on or before the 30th Business Day following delivery of Shares hereunder, Dealer notifies the Counterparty that Dealer has reasonably determined after advice from counsel that there is a considered risk that such Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer in the hands of Dealer pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), then Counterparty shall either (i) deliver Shares that are covered by an effective registration statement of Counterparty for immediate resale by Dealer or (ii) agree to deliver additional Shares in the amount and manner specified in sub-paragraph (B) or (C), as applicable, hereto. |
|
| (A) If Counterparty elects to deliver Shares as described in above clause (i), then Counterparty shall | ||
| (a) afford Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty that is customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities registered for resale; | ||
| (b) promptly file and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the effectiveness of a registration statement for immediate resale (the “Registration Statement”) in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Dealer and filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, and such prospectuses as Dealer may reasonably request to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements (the “Prospectus”) for the resale by Dealer of such number of Shares as Dealer shall reasonably specify in accordance with this paragraph, such Registration Statement to be effective and Prospectus to be current until the earliest of the date on which (1) all Delivered Shares have been sold by Dealer, (2) Dealer has advised Counterparty that it no longer requires that such Registration Statement be effective, (3) all remaining Delivered Shares could be sold by Dealer without registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (the “Registration Period”) or (4) Counterparty has provided a |
4
Execution Copy
| legal opinion of nationally recognized counsel in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer (with customary assumptions and exceptions) that the Shares issuable upon exercise of these Warrants will be freely tradable under the Securities Act upon delivery to Dealer and not subject to any legend restricting transferability. It is understood that the Registration Statement and Prospectus may cover a number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Shares (if any) reasonably estimated by Dealer to be potentially deliverable by Counterparty in connection with Net Physical Settlement hereunder (not to exceed the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount) and shall be subject to the same suspension of sales during “blackout dates” as provided in the following paragraph; and | ||
| (c) Counterparty will enter into a registration rights agreement with Dealer in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Dealer and Counterparty (“Registration Rights Agreement”), which agreement will contain among other things, customary representations and warranties and indemnification, restrictions on sales during “blackout dates”, provide for delivery of comfort letters, opinions of counsel, due diligence rights and other rights relating to the registration of a number of Shares equal to the number of Delivered Shares and other Shares deliverable hereunder up to the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. | ||
| (d) Counterparty shall promptly pay to Dealer a $0.04 per Share fee with all Shares delivered in connection with Net Physical Settlement pursuant to a Registration Statement. | ||
| (B) If Counterparty elects to deliver Shares as described in above clause (ii), then | ||
| (a) Counterparty shall afford Dealer and any potential institutional purchaser of any Shares identified by Dealer a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty that is customary in scope for private placements of equity securities by a publicly reporting company (if Counterparty is a publicly reporting company at such time) to institutional purchasers subject to execution of any customary confidentiality agreements; | ||
| (b) Counterparty shall enter into an agreement (a “Private Placement Agreement”) with Dealer on commercially reasonable terms in connection with the private placement of such Shares by Counterparty to Dealer or an affiliate and the private resale of such shares by Dealer or such affiliate, substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities by a publicly reporting company (if Counterparty is a publicly reporting company at such time) to institutional purchasers, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Dealer and Counterparty, which Private Placement Agreement shall include reasonable and customary provisions relating to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Dealer and its affiliates, shall provide for the payment by Counterparty of all reasonable expenses in connection with such resale, including all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel for Dealer, shall contain representations, warranties and agreements of Counterparty reasonably necessary or advisable to establish and maintain the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for such resales, and shall use reasonable best efforts to provide for the delivery of accountants’ “comfort letters” to Dealer or such affiliate with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into any offering memorandum prepared for the resale of such Shares; |
5
Execution Copy
| (c) Dealer shall sell the Delivered Shares in a commercially reasonable manner, in good faith and in accordance with the terms and limitations set forth in the Private Placement Agreement until the amount received by Dealer for the sale of the Shares (the “Proceeds Amount”) is equal to the Net Physical Settlement Amount. Any remaining Delivered Shares shall be returned to Counterparty. If the Proceeds Amount is less than the Net Physical Settlement Amount, Counterparty shall promptly deliver upon notice from Dealer additional Shares to Dealer until the dollar amount from the sale of such Shares by Dealer equals the difference between the Net Physical Settlement Amount and the Proceeds Amount. In no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to Dealer a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. | ||
| (C) Notwithstanding the foregoing: (I) if Counterparty has elected to deliver Shares as described in clause (i) above and either (a) Counterparty does not provide for the sale of the Shares under the Registration Statement as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement or (b) some Shares cannot be registered under the Registration Statement due to Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, then the provisions of sub-paragraph (B) shall apply to the extent Counterparty has not satisfied its obligations hereunder by the delivery of Shares pursuant to sub-paragraph (A). (II) If sub-paragraph (B) is applicable and Counterparty fails to satisfy its obligations under such sub-paragraph (B), then Counterparty may deliver unregistered Shares of equivalent value to the Net Physical Settlement Amount (or, if applicable, the unsatisfied portion thereof). The value of any unregistered Shares so delivered shall be discounted to reflect an appropriate liquidity discount (determined by Dealer in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner). (III) If some or all of the Delivered Shares cannot be used to close out stock loans in the shares of Counterparty entered into to establish or maintain short positions by Dealer in connection with this Transaction without a prospectus being required by applicable law to be delivered to such lender, then the value of any such Delivered Shares shall reflect an additional discount of 0.15% below the value otherwise determined under this heading “Covenants relating to Net Physical Settlement” and the number of Shares deliverable shall be correspondingly increased. Dealer and Counterparty agree that actual damages would be difficult to ascertain under these circumstances and that the amount of liquidated damages resulting from the determination in the preceding sentence is a good faith estimate of such damages and not a penalty. In no event shall Counterparty be required to top-up any delivery in cash or deliver to Dealer a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. | ||
Limitations
on Net Physical Settlement by Counter party: |
Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, the number of Shares that may be delivered at settlement by Counterparty shall not exceed the product of 1.20 times the initial Number of Warrants at any time (“Maximum Deliverable Share Amount”), as adjusted by the Calculation Agent to account for any subdivision, stock-split, reclassification or similar dilutive event with respect to the Shares. |
|
| Counterparty represents and warrants that the number of Available Shares as of the Trade Date is greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. Counterparty covenants and agrees that Counterparty shall not take any action of corporate governance or otherwise to reduce the number of Available Shares below the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. | ||
| For this purpose, “Available Shares” means the number of Shares Counterparty currently has authorized (but not issued and outstanding) less the maximum |

If Counterparty would be obligated (but for the provisions of this paragraph) to pay cash to Dealer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for any reason, then such payment obligation shall be satisfied by the delivery to Dealer of a number of Shares (whether registered or unregistered) having a cash value equal to the amount of such payment obligation (such number of Shares to be delivered to be determined by the Calculation Agent to determine the number of Shares that could be sold by Dealer over a reasonable period of time to realize the cash equivalent of such payment obligation taking into account any applicable discount (determined by the Calculation Agent) to reflect any restrictions on transfer as well as the market value of the Shares). Settlement relating to any delivery of Shares pursuant to this paragraph shall occur within a reasonable period of time. The number of Shares delivered pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount and shall be subject to the provisions under “Early Termination” hereof regarding Proceeds Amount. | |
Early Termination:
|
Notwithstanding Section 6(e) of the Agreement or Sections 12.7 or 12.8 of the Equity Definitions, if, with respect to the Transaction contemplated hereunder, (A) an Early Termination Date with respect to any Event of Default or any Termination Event, (B) a Merger Date with respect to any Merger Event or Tender Offer Date with respect to a Tender Offer, (C) a Closing Date with respect to an event described in Section 12.6 of the Equity Definitions, or (D) date as of which the Transaction is, or is deemed to have been, terminated or cancelled as a result of an applicable Additional Disruption Event (any such |

| date, the “Relevant Date”) shall occur, then in lieu of calculating any payments hereunder pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Agreement or Sections 12.7 or 12.8 of the Equity Definitions, as applicable, (if a calculation under such sections would otherwise be required), the Calculation Agent shall determine the number of Shares deliverable by Counterparty to Dealer on the following basis: | ||
| (1) such Relevant Date shall be the sole Exercise Date hereunder and Automatic Exercise shall be applicable to the unexercised Number of Warrants (the “Unexpired Number”); | ||
| (2) the Settlement Method shall be Net Share Settlement; | ||
| (3) Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer the Net Share Settlement Amount on the Settlement Date with respect to such Relevant Date (“Early Termination Stock Settlement”); provided that, if Counterparty is delivering Shares as a result of a Merger Event, the Settlement Date for such delivery will be immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger Event and the Shares will be deemed delivered at such time such that Dealer will be a holder of the Shares prior to such effective time; | ||
| (4) Net Share Settlement Amount shall mean (subject to the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount) a number of Shares equal to the sum of (A) the Share Delivery Quantity (as defined herein) and (B) the product of (x) the additional Shares per Warrant (the “Additional Shares”) determined by reference to the table attached as Annex A hereto based on the date on which such Relevant Date occurs and the VWAP Price on such date, (y) the Unexpired Number, and (z) the Warrant Entitlement; | ||
| (5) with respect to the determination of Additional Shares, if the actual VWAP Price is between two VWAP Price amounts in the table or the Relevant Date is between two Relevant Dates in the table, the Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the next higher and next lower VWAP Price amounts and the two nearest Relevant Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year; and | ||
| (6) with respect to any adjustment to the terms of the Transaction, the Calculation Agent, shall correspondingly adjust the Additional Shares and/or the VWAP Prices (each as set forth in the table in Annex A hereto) as of any date of such adjustments; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that any such adjustments shall be made consistently with the applicable provisions of this Confirmation and the Equity Definitions. For the avoidance of doubt, any calculations made by the Calculation Agent with respect to this Transaction pursuant to Section 11.2(c), Section 12.2(d) or Section 12.3(c) of the Equity Definitions may take into account the Calculation Agent’s determination of the fair market value of the Shares under the then prevailing circumstances. | ||
| On or prior to the Relevant Date, if so requested by Dealer upon advice of counsel, Counterparty shall enter into a registration rights agreement with Dealer in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Dealer and Counterparty (which agreement will contain among other things, reasonable customary representations and warranties and indemnification, restrictions on sales during “blackout dates”, and provide for delivery of comfort letters, opinions of counsel, due diligence rights and other customary rights) and Counterparty shall satisfy the conditions contained therein and Counterparty shall file and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the effectiveness a Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. If and when such |
9
Execution Copy
| Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Counterparty shall have made available to Dealer such Prospectuses as Dealer may reasonably request to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements for the resale by Dealer of such number of Shares as Dealer shall specify (or, if greater, the number of Shares that Counterparty shall specify). Such Registration Statement shall be effective and Prospectus shall be current until the earliest of the date on which (i) all Shares delivered by Counterparty in connection with an Early Termination Date, (ii) Dealer has advised Counterparty that it no longer requires that such Registration Statement be effective, (iii) all remaining Shares could be sold by Dealer without registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (the “Termination Registration Period”) or (iv) Counterparty has provided a legal opinion of nationally recognized counsel in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer (with customary assumptions and exceptions) that the Shares issuable upon exercise of these Warrants will be freely tradable under the Securities Act upon delivery to Dealer and not subject to any legend restricting transferability. It is understood that the Registration Statement and Prospectus will cover a number of Shares equal to the number of Shares plus the aggregate number of Shares (if any) reasonably estimated by Dealer to be potentially deliverable by Counterparty in connection with Early Termination Stock Settlement hereunder, but in no event exceeding the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. On each day during the Termination Registration Period Counterparty shall represent that each of its filings under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws that are required to be filed have been filed and that, as of the respective dates thereof and as of the date of this representation, they do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. | ||
| If Counterparty does not deliver Shares subject to an effective Registration Statement as set forth above (or if some or all of the Shares delivered cannot be used to close out stock loans in the shares of Counterparty entered into to establish or maintain short positions by Dealer in connection with this Transaction without a prospectus being required by applicable law to be delivered to such lender), the provisions of sub-paragraphs (B) and (C) set forth above under “Covenants Relating to Net Physical Settlement” shall apply, mutatis mutandis, as if the Net Physical Settlement Amount were the Transaction Early Termination Amount. “Transaction Early Termination Amount” means the Net Share Settlement Amount multiplied by the Settlement Price. In no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to Dealer a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. | ||
Compliance With Securities Laws:
|
Counterparty represents and agrees that it has complied, and will comply, in connection with this Transaction and all related or contemporaneous sales and purchases of Shares, with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and 13e and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. |
|
| Each party acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof. Accordingly, each party represents and warrants to the other party that (i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of entering into the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment, (ii) it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as |
10
Execution Copy
| promulgated under the Securities Act and (iii) the disposition of this Transaction and the Shares is restricted under this Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws. | ||
| Counterparty further represents and warrants that: | ||
| (a) Counterparty is not entering into this Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares); | ||
| (b) Counterparty represents and acknowledges that as of the date hereof and without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Dealer is not making any representations or warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under FASB Statements 149 or 150, EITF Issue No. 00-19 (or any successor issue statements) or under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project; | ||
| (c) Counterparty is not, and after giving effect to the Transaction contemplated hereby, will not be, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. | ||
| (d) As of the Trade Date and each date on which a payment or delivery is made by Counterparty hereunder, (i) the assets of Counterparty at their fair valuation exceed the liabilities of Counterparty, including contingent liabilities; (ii) the capital of Counterparty is adequate to conduct its business; and (iii) Counterparty has the ability to pay its debts and other obligations as such obligations mature and does not intend to, or believe that it will, incur debt or other obligations beyond its ability to pay as such obligations mature. |

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance. | |
Indemnity:

Each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify the other party, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and controlling parties (each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint and several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject because of a breach of any representation or covenant hereunder, in the Agreement or any other agreement relating to the Agreement or Transaction and will reimburse Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for, or defense of, any pending or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto. The Indemnifying Party will not be liable under the foregoing Indemnity provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court to have resulted from an Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. |

| (1) | it will not, and will not permit any person or entity subject to its control to, bid for or purchase Shares during such period except pursuant to transactions or arrangements which have been approved by Dealer or an affiliate of Dealer; and | ||

Execution Copy
| (c) | Dealer shall not be entitled to exercise any Warrant or take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder, and Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant, to the extent (but only to the extent) that the receipt of any Shares upon the exercise of such Warrant or otherwise hereunder would result in Dealer, or its ultimate parent entity becoming, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) at any time of more than 8.0 percent of the class of the Counterparty’s outstanding equity securities that is comprised of the Shares (an “Excess Share Owner”). | |
| Dealer shall provide prior notice to Counterparty if the exercise of any Warrant or delivery of Shares hereunder would cause Dealer to become, directly or indirectly, an Excess Share Owner; provided that the failure of Dealer to provide such notice shall not alter the effectiveness of the provisions set forth in the preceding sentence and any purported exercise or delivery in violation of such provisions shall be void and have no effect. If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Counterparty’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Counterparty shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after Dealer gives notice that such delivery would not result in Dealer being an Excess Share Owner; provided that any such notice must be delivered by Dealer no later than June 5, 2014. | ||
| If Dealer is not entitled to exercise any Warrant because such exercise would cause Dealer to become, directly or indirectly, an Excess Share Owner and Dealer thereafter disposes of Shares owned by it or any action is taken that would then permit Dealer to exercise such Warrant without such exercise causing it to become, directly or indirectly, an Excess Share Owner, then Dealer shall provide notice of the taking of such action to Counterparty and such Warrant shall then become exercisable by Dealer to the extent such Warrant is otherwise or had otherwise become exercisable hereunder; provided that any such notice must be delivered by Dealer no later than June 5, 2014. In such event, the Expiration Date with respect to such Warrant shall be the date on which Counterparty receives such notice from Dealer, and the related Settlement Date shall be as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of such notice but no more than three (3) Exchange Business Days thereafter (but in no event shall the Settlement Date occur prior to the date on which it would have otherwise occurred but for the provisions of this subsection); provided that the related Net Physical Settlement Amount shall be the same as the Net Physical Settlement Amount but for the provisions of this subsection. In addition, within 30 calendar days of a Settlement Date, Counterparty shall use its reasonable efforts to refrain from activities that could reasonably be expected to result in Dealer’s ownership of Shares exceeding 10% of all issued and outstanding Shares. |
