Deadlock Provisions Sample Clauses

Deadlock provisions are contractual mechanisms designed to resolve situations where decision-makers, such as company directors or joint venture partners, cannot reach an agreement on key issues. Typically, these provisions outline specific procedures—such as escalation to higher management, mediation, or even forced buy-sell arrangements—to break the impasse. By providing a clear process for resolving deadlocks, these clauses help prevent prolonged disputes that could paralyze business operations or jeopardize the partnership.

Deadlock Provisions. Although the shareholders may agree on everything when the business is formed, they may have irreconcilable disagreements in the future. Although deadlock is commonly considered with a 50/50 corporation, deadlock can also occur in other ownership situations where both or all shareholders have to agree on an item to take action. For example, under the TBOC, approval of a merger of a corporation requires the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the voting shares. If the majority shareholder owns 60% and the minority shareholder owns 40%, the minority shareholder is able to block the approval of a merger and cause deadlock. Deadlock in a closely held corporation can result in relationships that are very strained, especially if one party desires to exit the business but cannot without losing significant value. Deadlocks can be resolved through various provisions, including the following which are referred to by various names, including “Russian Roulette”, and “Texas Shoot Out”: • Each shareholder submits a sealed bid specifying the value per share and the shareholder with the higher bid buys out the others; or • A shareholder provides notice to the other shareholder with a value per share. The other shareholders must either sell his shares at that price or allow the other shareholder to buy him out at the stated price; or • Each shareholder submits a sealed bid with the lowest price per share at which the shareholder would sell. The shareholder with the highest price buys out the others at the lower price submitted; or • The parties have a third party appraiser determine the value per share, and then the shareholder triggering the buy-sell will either buy the others’ shares at a set premium to the determined value or sell shares at an equivalent discount. The parties should consider setting a time limit on the process to provide some certainty. Other methods to resolve deadlock include an agreement to arbitrate disputes or granting a “springing vote” to a third party which can be used in the event of a deadlock. • Are the parties in different financial situations which would make it difficult for one party to purchase shares? • What is the relative percentage ownership? It may be more difficult for a shareholder to purchase a large block. An example of a deadlock provision is in Exhibit B attached hereto.

The Company Board shall set the Key Issue or the Fundamental Issue aside for a period of forty-five (45) days. During that period, the Representatives of the Company Board shall consider in good faith ways of alleviating or avoiding the Deadlock. b. At the end of the said period, the Company Board shall again meet to discuss the suggestions for alleviating and/or avoiding the Deadlock.
