Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, or any holder of any securities of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company:
Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale If any of the following events occur, namely (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than (x) a subdivision or combination to which Section 14.05(c) applies) as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination of the Company with another Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, or (iii) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company to any other Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (in form satisfactory to the Trustee) providing that each Note shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance by a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Notes (assuming, for such purposes, a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock are available to convert all such Notes) immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance assuming such holder of Common Stock did not exercise such holder’s rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance (provided that, if the kind or amount of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance is not the same for each share of Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“Non-electing share”), then for the purposes of this Section the kind and amount of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance for each Non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-electing shares). Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each holder of Notes, at its address appearing on the Security Register provided for in Section 4.02 of this Indenture, within twenty (20) days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances. If this Section applies to any event or occurrence, Section 14.05 shall not apply.
Effect of Merger on Capital Stock At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the Constituent Entities or the shareholders: (a) each share of the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of CIST common stock (“CIST Common Stock”), with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares of Common Stock so converted, and all shares of such Common Stock shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist. (b) all outstanding and unexercised portions of all option, warrant and security exercisable or convertible by its terms into Common Stock (including convertible promissory notes), whether vested or unvested, which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company Stock Option”) shall be assumed by CIST and shall be deemed to constitute an option, warrant or convertible security, as the case may be, to acquire the same number of shares of CIST Common Stock as the holder of such Company Stock Option would have been entitled to receive had such holder exercised or converted such Company Stock Option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time (not taking into account whether such Company Stock Option was in fact exercisable or convertible at such time), at the same exercise price per share, and shall, to the extent permitted by law and otherwise reasonably practicable, have the same term, exercisability, vesting schedule, status and all other material terms and conditions (continuous employment with the Company will be credited to an optionee for purposes of determining the vesting of the number of shares of the Common Stock subject to exercise under an assumed option at the Effective Time). As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, CIST shall deliver to each holder of a Company Stock Option an option, warrant or convertible security, as the case may be, in CIST, and shall take all steps to ensure that a sufficient number of shares of CIST Common Stock is reserved for the exercise of such Company Stock Options for each share of CIST Common Stock so reserved as of the Effective Time. (c) No fractional shares of the Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Merger. (d) Each share of CIST Common Stock owned by the Company shall no longer be outstanding and shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist.
Exchange of Certificates (a) Substantially contemporaneously with the Effective Time, Mergerco shall cause to be deposited with a paying agent (the "Paying Agent") to be jointly selected by the Company (acting through the Independent Director) and Mergerco, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Treasury Shares, Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares), for payment in accordance with this Article III, the funds necessary to pay the Merger Consideration for each share as to which the Merger Consideration shall be payable. (b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and using its reasonable best efforts to do so within three business days thereafter, the Paying Agent shall mail to each holder of an outstanding certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock (other than Treasury Shares and Cancelled Shares, if any), (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to such certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such certificates to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Mergerco and the Company may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of each certificate in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, each holder of an outstanding certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such shares of Company Common Stock, upon surrender to the Paying Agent of such certificate or certificates, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, and acceptance thereof by the Paying Agent, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Consideration or the Nybor Consideration (as appropriate in accordance with Section 3.2) multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such certificate. No interest shall be paid or accrue on the Merger Consideration. The Paying Agent shall accept such certificates upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with customary exchange practices. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further transfer on the records of the Company or its transfer agent of certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted, in whole or in part, pursuant to this Agreement, into the right to receive cash, and if such certificates are presented to the Company for transfer, they shall be canceled against delivery of such cash. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.3(b), each certificate formerly representing shares of such Company Common Stock shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration for each such share of Company Common Stock. (c) Subject to the provisions of the DGCL, all cash paid upon the surrender for exchange of certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares exchanged for cash theretofore represented by such certificates. (d) Any cash deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 3.3 (the "Exchange Fund") that remains undistributed to the holders of the certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation at such time and any former holders of shares of Company Common Stock prior to the Merger who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation and only as general unsecured creditors thereof for payment of their claim for cash, if any. (e) None of Mergerco, the Company or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public office pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. (f) In the event any certificate formerly representing Company Common Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the Merger Consideration.
