Alternative Transaction In the event that, in lieu of the Arrangement, the Purchaser seeks to complete the acquisition of the Company Shares other than as contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement on a basis that (a) provides for economic terms which, in relation to the Shareholder, on an after-tax basis, are at least equivalent to or better than those contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement taking into account the Intended Tax Treatment, (b) would not likely result in a delay or time to completion beyond the Voting Support Outside Date, and (c) is otherwise on terms and conditions not materially more onerous on the Shareholder than the Arrangement (including any take-over bid) any such transaction, an “Alternative Transaction”), then during the term of this Agreement the Shareholder may, on its own accord, and shall, upon written request of the Purchaser, support the completion of such Alternative Transaction in the same manner as the Arrangement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement mutatis mutandis, including by (A) depositing or causing the deposit of its Subject Shares (including any Company Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise, conversion or vesting, as applicable, of any Company Options, Company Compensation Options or Company RSUs) into an Alternative Transaction conducted by way of a take-over bid made by the Purchaser or an affiliate of Purchaser and not withdrawing them; and/or (B) voting or causing to be voted all of the Subject Shares (to the extent that they carry the right to vote) in favour of, and not dissenting from, such Alternative Transaction proposed by the Purchaser, provided however that the Shareholder shall not be required to exercise, convert or exchange any Subject Shares (other than Company Shares) in connection with an Alternative Transaction.
Arm’s Length Transaction The Bank acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Bank with respect to the offering of Notes contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Bank or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representative nor any other Underwriter is advising the Bank or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Bank shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making their own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Bank with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Bank, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Bank.
Alternative Transactions (a) Between the Original Signing Date and the Closing Date, except for the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable as of the Original Signing Date as set forth in Schedule 3.1(g) and the Securities being issued pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall not (i) issue or agree to issue any additional shares of Common Stock or other securities which provide the holder thereof the right to convert such securities into shares of Common Stock or (ii) directly or indirectly, by act or omission, solicit, pursue, agree to, engage in or become subject to any recapitalization, reorganization or capital-raising transaction other than the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
(b) If, prior to Closing, the Company takes any action that would, if the Warrant were outstanding at such time, result in an adjustment to the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant or the exercise price thereof, then, at the Purchaser’s option which may be exercised in the Purchaser’s sole discretion, the Company shall make appropriate adjustments with respect to the Securities to be issued to the Purchasers under this Agreement such that the Purchasers shall receive the benefit of such adjustments under the Warrant as if the provisions of the Warrant applied thereto mutatis mutandis and such Securities had been outstanding as of the date of such action in a manner that provides the Purchasers with substantially the same economic benefit from this Agreement as the Purchasers had prior to the applicable transaction.
(c) In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Purchaser pursuant to Sections 6.16(a)(iv), (vi) or (vii) and, within 12 months of the date of such termination the Company or any of its Subsidiaries engages in or becomes subject to, or enters into an agreement to engage in or become subject to, any alternate recapitalization, reorganization or capital-raising transaction, then the Purchasers shall have the right to participate in such transaction on terms no less favorable to the Purchasers than as provided for in this Agreement (and in any event no less favorable to the Purchasers than provided to any other participant in such alternate transaction), and the Company shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Purchasers in order to allow the Purchasers to fully exercise such right and participate in such transaction.
(d) Prior to Closing, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not directly or indirectly effect, agree to effect or cause to be effected any transaction with a third party that would reasonably be expected to result in a Change in Control unless such third party shall have provided prior assurance in writing to the Purchasers (in a form that is reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers) that the terms of this Agreement shall be fully performed (i) by the Company or (ii) by such third party if it is the successor of the Company or if the Company is its direct or indirect subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that, in the event that a Change in Control occurs on or prior to the Closing, the Purchasers shall maintain the right under this Agreement to acquire, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Securities (or such shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) into which the Securities may have become exchangeable as a result of such Change in Control), as if the Closing had occurred immediately prior to such Change in Control. As used herein, “Change in Control” shall be deemed to occur if (i) there occurs a change in control of the Company of the nature that would be required to be reported in response to item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A or Item 5.01 of Form 8-K promulgated under the 1934 Act (or if neither item remains in effect, any regulations issued pursuant to the 1934 Act which serve similar purposes); (ii) any “Person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) is or becomes a beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of Company Securities representing 50% percent or more of the total voting power of the Company’s then outstanding shares of capital stock; (iii) the Company shall have merged into, consolidated with or effected an amalgamation with another company, or merged another company into the Company, on a basis whereby less than 50% of the total voting power of the surviving company is represented by shares held by former shareholders of the Company prior to such merger, consolidation or amalgamation; or (iv) the Company shall have sold, transferred, pledged or exchanged all, or substantially all, of its assets to another Person.
