transaction then the Maturity Date for this Loan is automatically accelerated so that the Indebtedness become payable 120 days after the actual acquisition and closing date of the Change in Collateral event. Under those circumstances the Borrower and the Lender agree to and shall proceed as follows:
1) In the event that a Change of Collateral does occur, the Collateral Shares and Additional Collateral, if any, will be valued by utilizing the final takeover price or acquisition price at the time of the Change in Collateral closing date multiplied by the total number of shares received as Collateral Shares and Additional Collateral, if any. This sum of the number of shares of Collateral Shares and Additional Collateral, if any, multiplied by the per share acquisition price, be it cash or cash plus stock valued as of the closing date, shall represent the sole and only purchase price value of the Collateral Shares and Additional Collateral, if any, resulting from the Change in Collateral.
2) The Borrower remains obligated herein to repay the Loan plus any accrued or unpaid interest on the Loan to the date that the Indebtedness become payable but said amounts will be subtracted by the Lender from the value of the Collateral Shares and Additional Collateral, if any, as calculated in Section 10.(a)(1) above.
3) If the value of the Collateral Shares and Additional Collateral, if any, as calculated in Section 10.(a)(1) above, is an amount which is greater than the payment Indebtedness owed by the Borrower, as set forth in paragraphs (2) above, then any net excess price proceeds will be paid by the Lender to the Borrower within five (5) Business Days. If the value of the Collateral Shares and Additional Collateral, if any, is an amount which is less than the payments owed by the Borrower as set forth in paragraphs (2) above, then any net excess proceeds remain the property of the Lender and no payments are due from the Lender to the Borrower. In each event the Loan Agreement and Share Mortgage are terminated.
(b) | In the event that a Change of Collateral occurs which results from the stock or securities of the company which issued the Pledged Collateral being acquired in an all-stock transaction where substantially all of the stock or securities of the company which issued the Collateral Shares and Additional Collateral, if any, is acquired in a stock transaction and the stock or security representing the Pledged Collateral ceases to be traded on a national or international securities exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board Services, the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated or a comparable service, then that new security, stock or share instrument is substituted for and becomes the Collateral Shares and Additional Collateral, if any, and there is no acceleration of the maturity date for the Loan Agreement and Share Mortgage. The Loan and share mortgage remain intact because there has been a substitution of Collateral Shares and Additional Collateral, if any,. At maturity the Borrower remains obligated under the terms of the Loan Agreement and Share Mortgage and the Lender will be obligated to redeliver the Collateral Shares and Additional Collateral, if any, recognizing that the new security, stock or share instrument is substituted for and becomes the Collateral Shares and Additional Collateral, if any. The number of shares to be redelivered shall be determined |
