Section 336(e) Election If UTC determines, in its sole discretion, that one or more protective elections under Section 336(e) of the Code (each, a “Section 336(e) Election”) shall be made with respect to the Carrier Distribution, the Otis Distribution, and/or any of the Internal Distributions, the relevant SpinCo(s) shall (and shall cause any relevant member of such SpinCo Group(s) to) join with UTC and/or any relevant member of the UTC Group, as applicable, in the making of any such election and shall take any action reasonably requested by UTC or that is otherwise necessary to give effect to any such election (including making any other related election). If a Section 336(e) Election is made with respect to the Carrier Distribution, the Otis Distribution, and/or any of the Internal Distributions, then this Agreement shall be amended in such a manner as is determined by UTC in good faith to take into account such Section 336(e) Election(s), including by requiring that, in the event (a) any Contribution, Distribution, or Internal Distribution fails to have U.S. Tax-Free Status and (b) a Company (or such Company’s Group) that does not have exclusive responsibility pursuant to this Agreement for Tax-Related Losses arising from such failure actually realizes in cash a Tax Benefit from the step-up in Tax basis resulting from the relevant Section 336(e) Election(s), such Company shall pay over to the Company that has exclusive responsibility pursuant to this Agreement for such Tax-Related Losses any such Tax Benefits realized (provided, that, if such Tax-Related Losses are Shared Taxes or Taxes for which more than one Company is liable under Section 7.05(c)(i), the Company that actually realizes in cash the Tax Benefit resulting from the relevant Section 336(e) Election shall pay over to each of the other Companies responsible for such Taxes the percentage of any such Tax Benefits realized that corresponds to each such Company’s percentage share of such Taxes).
Cash Election Holders of JCN Common Stock shall be provided with an opportunity to elect to receive cash consideration in lieu of receiving Highwoods Common Stock in the Merger, in accordance with the election procedures set forth below in this Section 3.2. Holders who are to receive cash in lieu of exchanging their shares of JCN Common Stock for Highwoods Common Stock as specified below shall receive $65 per share of JCN Common Stock in cash (the "Per Share Cash Consideration"). The amount determined by multiplying $65 by the number of Dissenting Shares shall be defined herein as the "Dissenting Share Amount." The aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration to be paid in the Merger, plus the Dissenting Share Amount, shall be limited to 40% of the aggregate consideration paid in exchange for shares of JCN Common Stock and shall be defined herein as the "Cash Amount." A form for use by JCN shareholders to elect to receive cash and other appropriate and customary transmittal material (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected only upon proper delivery of the certificates theretofore representing JCN Common Stock ("Old Certificates") to an exchange agent designated by Highwoods (the "Exchange Agent")) in such form as Highwoods and JCN shall mutually agree ("Election Form") shall be mailed concurrently with the mailing of the Proxy Statement required by Section 8.1 hereof, or on such other date as Highwoods and JCN shall mutually agree ("Mailing Date") to each holder of record of JCN Common Stock on the record date ("Record Date") for the JCN shareholders entitled to vote at the shareholders meeting to approve the Merger as required by Section 8.1 (the "JCN Shareholders Meeting"). Each Election Form shall permit a holder (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) of JCN Common Stock to elect to receive cash with respect to all or a portion of such holder's JCN Common Stock. Any shares of JCN Common Stock with respect to which the holder (or the beneficial owner, as the case may be) elects to receive cash and does not dissent shall be referred to herein as the "Cash Election Shares." Any shares of JCN Common Stock with respect to which the holder (or the beneficial owner, as the case may be) either does not submit an Election Form or does not elect to receive cash and does not dissent, shall be collectively referred to herein as "Stock Election Shares." Any of the elections set forth in the foregoing paragraph shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received an effective, properly completed Election Form on or before 5:00 p.m. on the fifth business day prior to the date of the JCN Shareholders Meeting (or such other time and date as Highwoods and JCN may mutually agree, including as a result of any adjournment or postponement of the JCN Shareholders Meeting) (the "Election Deadline") which is not revoked or changed prior to the Election Deadline. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the person submitting a subsequent Election Form at or prior to the Election Deadline. In the event an Election Form is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, the shares of JCN Common Stock represented by such Election Form shall become Stock Election Shares unless the Exchange Agent shall have actually received an effective, properly completed Election Form prior to the Election Deadline and such Election Form is not revoked or changed prior to the Election Deadline. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. The Exchange Agent shall promptly notify JCN of any defect in an Election Form other than an immaterial defect disregarded in good faith by the Exchange Agent. Subject to the foregoing sentence, neither Highwoods nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in an Election Form. Within three business days after the Election Deadline, Highwoods shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among the holders of JCN Common Stock in accordance with the Election Forms; provided, however, if the amount of cash that would be issued upon the conversion of the Cash Election Shares is greater than the amount by which the Cash Amount exceeds the Dissenting Share Amount (the "Maximum Cash Election Amount"), then the Exchange Agent shall convert a sufficient number of Cash Election Shares (other than Dissenting Shares) into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration, which Cash Election Shares shall be selected pro rata from among all of the holders thereof, based upon the aggregate number of Cash Election Shares held by each of such holders, such that the amount of cash that will be issued in the Merger to satisfy the non-converted Cash Election Shares equals as closely as practicable the Maximum Cash Election Amount. Highwoods shall, at least two business days prior to the date of the JCN Shareholders Meeting, communicate to JCN the aggregate allocation of stock and cash, the amount of stock and cash going to each of JCN's shareholders, and the method in which such amounts were calculated.
Initial Election The Director shall make an initial deferral election under this Agreement by filing with the Company a signed Election Form within 30 days after the Effective Date of this Agreement. The Election Form shall set forth the amount of Fees to be deferred and shall be effective to defer only Fees earned after the date the Election Form is received by the Company.
