Merger, Consolidation, Sales of Assets and Other Arrangements The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary to, (i) enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation; (ii) liquidate, windup or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution); or (iii) convey, sell, lease, sublease, transfer or otherwise dispose of, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or any substantial part of its business or assets, or the capital stock of or other Equity Interests in any of its Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter acquired; provided, however, that:
(a) any of the actions described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (iii) may be taken with respect to any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party (other than the Borrower), including, for the avoidance of doubt, the sale, transfer or other disposition of the capital stock of or other Equity Interests in any Subsidiary of the Borrower, so long as immediately prior to the taking of such action, and immediately thereafter and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default is or would be in existence;
(b) the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and the other Loan Parties may lease and sublease their respective assets, as lessor or sublessor (as the case may be), in the ordinary course of their business;
(c) a Person may merge with and into the Borrower so long as (i) the Borrower is the survivor of such merger, (ii) immediately prior to such merger, and immediately thereafter and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default is or would be in existence; and (iii) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice of such merger (except that such prior notice shall not be required in the case of the merger of a Subsidiary with and into the Borrower); and
(d) the Borrower and each Subsidiary may sell, transfer or dispose of assets among themselves.
Spin Offs and Other Distributed Property (i) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock of the Company or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:
(A) dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants for which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 8.05(a) or 8.05(b), as applicable;
(B) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 8.05(d);
(C) Spin-Offs for which the provisions described in Section 8.05(c)(ii) will apply; and
(D) an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which the provisions set forth in Section 8.08(a) will apply, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula: where: CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; SP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and FMV = the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than the “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, the Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of this Note outstanding on the record date for the distribution, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property, rights, options or warrants or other securities that the Holder would have received if the Holder had owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the record date for such distribution (or in the case of a principal amount or portion of a principal amount that is not a multiple of $1,000, an equivalent pro rata amount). If any distribution of the type described in this Section 8.05(c)(i) is not so paid or made, or if any rights, options or warrants are not exercised before their expiration date, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.
(ii) With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 8.05(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to an Affiliate, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, and such Capital Stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a national securities exchange or a reasonably comparable non-U.S. equivalent (a “Spin-Off”), but excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event as to which the provisions described in Section 8.08(a) apply, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula: where: CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off; CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; FMV0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined for purposes of the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as if such Capital Stock or similar equity interest were the Common Stock) over the first ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and MP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date. The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 8.05(c)(ii) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period but will be given effect as of immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in this Note, if necessary, the Company shall delay the settlement of any conversion of this Note where the Conversion Date occurs during the Valuation Period until the third (3rd) Business Day after the last day of the Valuation Period. If any distribution of the type described in this Section 8.05(c)(ii) is declared but not so made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make such distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.
Transfers and Other Liens Grantors shall not (i) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of any Grantor, except for Permitted Liens. The inclusion of Proceeds in the Collateral shall not be deemed to constitute Agent’s consent to any sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;
Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Shares The Pledgor agrees that he will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral, or (ii) create or permit to exist any lien, security interest, or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral, except for the security interest under this Agreement.
