Hostile Takeovers. In the event that the Borrower wishes to utilize proceeds of one or more Accommodations under the Revolving Facility to, or to provide funds to any Subsidiary, Affiliate or other Person to, finance an offer to acquire (which shall include an offer to purchase securities, solicitation of an offer to sell securities, an acceptance of an offer to sell securities, whether or not the offer to sell was solicited, or any combination of the foregoing) outstanding securities of any Person (the “Target”) which constitutes a “take-over bid” pursuant to applicable corporate or securities legislation (in any case, a “Takeover”), and if the Takeover is, under applicable Law, such as to require the board of directors of the Target to prepare a directors circular or like document that includes either a recommendation to accept or reject the Takeover or a statement that they are unable to make or are not making a recommendation, then either: (a) prior to or concurrently with delivery to the Administrative Agent of any Accommodation Request, the proceeds of which are intended to be utilized as aforesaid, the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably) that the board of directors or like body of the Target, or the holders of all of the securities of the Target, has or have approved, accepted, or recommended to security holders acceptance of, the Takeover; or (b) the following steps shall be followed: (i) at least five Business Days prior to the delivery to the Administrative Agent of such Accommodation Request, the Borrower shall advise the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly advise each Revolving Lender) of the particulars of such Takeover; (ii) within three Business Days of being so advised, each Revolving Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such Lender’s determination as to whether it is willing to fund under such Accommodation Request; provided that, in the event such Lender does not so notify the Administrative Agent within such three Business Day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have notified the Administrative Agent that it is so willing to fund; and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of each such Lender’s determination; and in the event that any Revolving Lender (each, a “Declining Lender”) has notified the Administrative Agent that it is not willing to fund under such Accommodation Request, then such Declining Lender shall have no obligation to fund under such Accommodation Request, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary; provided, however, that each other Revolving Lender (each, a “Financing Lender”) which has advised the Administrative Agent it is willing to fund under such Accommodation Request shall have an obligation, up to the amount of its unused Commitment under the Revolving Facility, to fund under such Accommodation Request, and such funding shall be provided by each Financing Lender in accordance with the ratio, determined prior to the provision of such funding, that the Commitment of such Financing Lender under the Revolving Facility bears to the aggregate the Commitments of all the Financing Lenders under the Revolving Facility. If Accommodations are provided in the manner contemplated by Section 2.1(7)(b) and there are Declining Lenders, subsequent Accommodations under the Revolving Facility shall be funded firstly by Declining Lenders having unused Commitments under the Revolving Facility, and subsequent repayments under the Revolving Facility shall be applied firstly to Financing Lenders, in each case until such time as the proportion that the amount of each Revolving Lender’s Principal Outstanding under the Revolving Facility bears to the aggregate Principal Outstanding under the Revolving Facility is equal to such proportion which would have been in effect but for the application of this Section 2.1(7). For greater certainty, in no event shall a Declining Lender be obligated to purchase any participation in accordance with Section 14.1 to the extent that the shortfall in such Declining Lender’s share of outstanding Obligations under the Revolving Facility is attributable to the operation of this Section 2.1(7).
