Re: | Amended and Restated Issuer Warrant Transaction | |
(Transaction Reference Number: |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The purpose of this communication (this Confirmation) is to set forth the terms and conditions of the above-referenced transaction entered into on the Trade Date specified below (the Transaction) between [Dealer] (Dealer) and Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (Issuer). This communication constitutes a Confirmation as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below. This Confirmation represents an amendment to the initial Issuer Warrant Transaction dated June 6, 2007 between Dealer and Issuer (the Initial Warrant Transaction) and reflects the Issuers election to increase the Number of Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Initial Warrant Transaction following the exercise by the initial purchasers party to the Purchase Agreement (as defined herein) of their right to receive additional 2.375% convertible securities due 2012 (Convertible Securities). Upon execution, this Confirmation amends, replaces and supersedes the Initial Warrant Transaction.
1. This Confirmation is subject to, and incorporates, the definitions and provisions of the 2000 ISDA Definitions (including the Annex thereto) (the 2000 Definitions) and the definitions and provisions of the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the Equity Definitions, and together with the 2000 Definitions, the Definitions), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA). In the event of any inconsistency between the 2000 Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern. For purposes of the Equity Definitions, each reference herein to a Warrant shall be deemed to be a reference to a Call Option or an Option, as the context requires.
This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Issuer as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall be subject to an agreement (the Agreement) in the form of the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement (the ISDA Form) as if Dealer and Issuer had executed an agreement in such form (without any Schedule but with the elections set forth in this Confirmation). For the avoidance of doubt, the Transaction shall be the only transaction under the Agreement.
All provisions contained in, or incorporated by reference to, the Agreement will govern this Confirmation except as expressly modified herein. In the event of any inconsistency between this Confirmation and either the Definitions or the Agreement, this Confirmation shall govern.
2. The Transaction is a Warrant Transaction, which shall be considered a Share Option Transaction for purposes of the Equity Definitions. The terms of the particular Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as follows:

Upon such Notice of Share Termination, the following provisions shall apply on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date or Early Termination Date, as applicable:
Share Termination Alternative: | Applicable and means that Issuer shall deliver to Dealer the Share Termination |

If such Insolvency, Nationalization, Merger Event or Tender Offer involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash. | |
Failure to Deliver: | Applicable | |
Other applicable provisions: | If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 (except that the Representation and Agreement contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws arising as a result of the fact that Seller is the Issuer of the Shares) and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to Physically-Settled shall be read as references to settled by Share Termination Alternative and all references to Shares shall be read as references to Share Termination Delivery Units. |
(b) Registration/Private Placement Procedures. (i) If, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer, for any reason, any Shares or any securities of Issuer or its affiliates comprising any Share Termination Delivery Units deliverable to Dealer hereunder (any such Shares or securities, Delivered Securities) would not be immediately freely transferable by Dealer under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), then the provisions set forth in this Section 8(b) shall apply. At the election of Issuer by notice to Dealer within one Exchange Business Day after the relevant delivery obligation arises, but in any event at least one Exchange Business Day prior to the date on which such delivery obligation is due, either (A) all Delivered Securities delivered by Issuer to Dealer shall be, at the time of such delivery, covered by an effective registration statement of Issuer for immediate resale by Dealer (such registration statement and the corresponding prospectus (the Prospectus) (including, without limitation, any sections describing the plan of distribution) in form and content commercially reasonably satisfactory to Dealer) or (B) Issuer shall deliver additional Delivered Securities so that the value of such Delivered Securities, as determined by the Calculation Agent to reflect an appropriate liquidity discount, equals the value of the number of Delivered Securities that would otherwise be deliverable if such Delivered Securities were freely tradeable (without prospectus delivery) upon receipt by Dealer (such value, the Freely Tradeable Value); provided that Issuer may not make the election described in this clause (B) if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the delivery by Issuer to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Delivered Securities or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Delivered Securities by Dealer (or any affiliate of Dealer). (For the avoidance of doubt, as used in this paragraph (b) only, the term Issuer shall mean the issuer of the relevant securities,
8
as the context shall require.)
(ii) If Issuer makes the election described in clause (b)(i)(A) above:
(A) Dealer (or an affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Issuer that is customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities and that yields results that are commercially reasonably satisfactory to Dealer or such affiliate, as the case may be, in its discretion; and
(B) Dealer (or an affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) and Issuer shall enter into an agreement (a Registration Agreement) on commercially reasonable terms in connection with the public resale of such Delivered Securities by Dealer or such affiliate substantially similar to underwriting agreements customary for underwritten offerings of equity securities, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Dealer or such affiliate and Issuer, which Registration Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions substantially similar to those contained in such underwriting agreements relating to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Dealer and its affiliates and Issuer, shall provide for the payment by Issuer of all expenses in connection with such resale, including all registration costs and all fees and expenses of counsel for Dealer, and shall provide for the delivery of accountants comfort letters to Dealer or such affiliate with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the Prospectus.
(iii) If Issuer makes the election described in clause (b)(i)(B) above:
(A) all Delivered Securities shall be delivered to Dealer (or any affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) thereof;
(B) Dealer (or an affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) and any potential institutional purchaser of any such Delivered Securities from Dealer or such affiliate identified by Dealer shall be afforded a commercially reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation in compliance with applicable law with respect to Issuer customary in scope for private placements of equity securities (including, without limitation, the right to have made available to them for inspection all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and other information reasonably requested by them);
(C) Dealer (or an affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) and Issuer shall enter into an agreement (a Private Placement Agreement) on commercially reasonable terms in connection with the private placement of such Delivered Securities by Issuer to Dealer or such affiliate and the private resale of such shares by Dealer or such affiliate, substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Dealer and Issuer, which Private Placement Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions substantially similar to those contained in such private placement purchase agreements relating to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Dealer and its affiliates and Issuer, shall provide for the payment by Issuer of all expenses in connection with such resale, including all fees and expenses of counsel for Dealer, shall contain representations, warranties and agreements of Issuer reasonably necessary or advisable to establish and maintain the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for such resales, and shall use best efforts to provide for the delivery of accountants comfort letters to Dealer or such affiliate with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the offering memorandum prepared for the resale of such Shares; and
(D) Issuer agrees that any Delivered Securities so delivered to Dealer, (i) may be transferred by and among Dealer and its affiliates, and Issuer shall effect such transfer without any further action by Dealer and (ii) after the minimum holding period within the meaning of Rule 144(d) under the Securities Act has elapsed with respect to such Delivered Securities, Issuer shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Shares or securities to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such Delivered Securities upon delivery by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer) to Issuer or such transfer agent of sellers and brokers representation letters customarily delivered by Dealer in connection with resales of restricted securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, without any further requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer).
9
(c) Make-whole Shares. If Issuer makes the election described in clause (b)(i)(B) of paragraph (b) of this Section 8, then Dealer or its affiliate may sell such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, during a period (the Resale Period) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, and ending on the Exchange Business Day on which Dealer completes the sale of all such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, or a sufficient number of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units, as the case may be, so that the realized net proceeds of such sales exceed the Freely Tradeable Value (such amount of the Freely Tradeable Value, the Required Proceeds). If any of such delivered Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units remains after such realized net proceeds exceed the Required Proceeds, Dealer shall return such remaining Shares or Share Termination Delivery Units to Issuer. If the Required Proceeds exceed the realized net proceeds from such resale, Issuer shall transfer to Dealer by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following the last day of the Resale Period the amount of such excess (the Additional Amount) in cash or in a number of additional Shares (Make-whole Shares) in an amount that, based on the Relevant Price on the last day of the Resale Period (as if such day was the Valuation Date for purposes of computing such Relevant Price), has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount. The Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares in the manner contemplated by this Section 8(c). This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero, subject to Section 8(e).
(d) Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Confirmation, in no event shall Dealer be entitled to receive, or shall be deemed to receive, any Shares if, upon such receipt of such Shares, the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) of Shares by Dealer or any entity that directly or indirectly controls Dealer (collectively, Buyer Group) would be equal to or greater than 8% or more of the class of the Issuers outstanding equity securities that is comprised of the Shares. If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Issuers obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Issuer shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Exchange Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Issuer that such delivery would not result in Buyer Group directly or indirectly so beneficially owning in excess of 8% of the outstanding Shares.
(e) Limitations on Settlement by Issuer. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Issuer be required to deliver Shares in connection with the Transaction in excess of 1,904,945 Shares, as adjusted by the Calculation Agent to account for any subdivision, stock-split, reclassification or similar diluting event with respect to the Shares (the Capped Number). Issuer represents and warrants (which shall be deemed to be repeated on each day that the Transaction is outstanding) that the Capped Number is equal to or less than the number of authorized but unissued Shares of the Issuer that are not reserved for future issuance in connection with transactions in the Shares (other than the Transaction) on the date of the determination of the Capped Number (such Shares, the Available Shares). In the event Issuer shall not have delivered the full number of Shares otherwise deliverable as a result of this Section 8(e) (the resulting deficit, the Deficit Shares), Issuer shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Shares when, and to the extent, that (i) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Issuer or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (ii) authorized and unissued Shares reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions prior to such date which prior to the relevant date become no longer so reserved and (iii) Issuer additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions. Issuer shall immediately notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) and the corresponding number of Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Shares thereafter.
(f) Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone any Exercise Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Number of Shares to be Delivered with respect to one or more Components), if Dealer determines, in its commercially reasonable discretion, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealers hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.
(g) Equity Rights. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to it rights with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in the event of Issuers bankruptcy. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties
10
agree that the preceding sentence shall not apply at any time other than during Issuers bankruptcy to any claim arising as a result of a breach by Issuer of any of its obligations under this Confirmation or the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that this Confirmation is not secured by any collateral that would otherwise secure the obligations of Issuer herein under or pursuant to any other agreement.
(h) Amendments to Equity Definitions and the Agreement. The following amendments shall be made to the Equity Definitions and to the Agreement:
(i) Section 11.2(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words diluting or concentrative and replacing them with the words material.
(ii) The first sentence of Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions, prior to clause (A) thereof, is hereby amended to read as follows: (c) If Calculation Agent Adjustment is specified as the Method of Adjustment in the related Confirmation of a Share Option Transaction, then following the announcement or occurrence of any Potential Adjustment Event, the Calculation Agent will determine whether such Potential Adjustment Event has a material effect on the theoretical value of the relevant Shares or options on the Shares and, if so, will (i) make appropriate adjustment(s), if any, to any one or more of: and, the portion of such sentence immediately preceding clause (ii) thereof is hereby amended by deleting the words diluting or concentrative and the words (provided that no adjustments will be made to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant Shares) and replacing such latter phrase with the words (and, for the avoidance of doubt, adjustments may be made to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relative to the relevant Shares);
(iii) Section 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words diluting or concentrative and replacing them with material; and adding the phrase or Warrants at the end of the sentence.
(iv) Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) deleting from the fourth line thereof the word or after the word official and inserting a comma therefor, and (2) deleting the semi-colon at the end of subsection (B) thereof and inserting the following words therefor or (C) at Dealers option, the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5(a)(vii) (1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to that Issuer.
(v) Section 12.9(b)(iv) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by:
(A) deleting (1) subsection (A) in its entirety, (2) the phrase or (B) following subsection (A) and (3) the phrase in each case in subsection (B); and
(B) deleting the phrase neither the Non-Hedging Party nor the Lending Party lends Shares in the amount of the Hedging Shares or in the penultimate sentence.
(vi) Section 12.9(b)(v) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by:
(A) adding the word or immediately before subsection (B) and deleting the comma at the end of subsection (A); and
(B) (1) deleting subsection (C) in its entirety, (2) deleting the word or immediately preceding subsection (C) and (3) deleting the final sentence in its entirety and replacing it with the sentence The Hedging Party will determine the Cancellation Amount payable by one party to the other.
(i) Repurchase Notices. Issuer shall, on any day on which Issuer effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a Repurchase Notice) on such day if, following such repurchase, the Notice Percentage as determined on such day is (i) greater than 6% and (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater than the Notice Percentage as of the date hereof). The Notice Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the product of the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement plus the product of the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement under the warrant transaction dated the date hereof between Issuer and
11
Dealer relating to the 2.75% convertible securities due 2010 (the 2010 Warrant) and the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. In the event that Issuer fails to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this Section 8(i) then Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Dealer and each such person being an Indemnified Party) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under applicable securities laws, including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act, relating to or arising out of such failure. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Issuer shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition, Issuer will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Issuer) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Issuer. This indemnity shall survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and delegation of the Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Dealer.
(j) Transfer and Assignment. Dealer may transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time to any person or entity whatsoever without the consent of Issuer. Dealer shall notify Issuer as soon as practicable of any such transfer or assignment effected pursuant to this Section 8(j). If at any time at which the Equity Percentage exceeds 8%, Dealer, in its discretion, is unable to effect such a transfer or assignment after its commercially reasonable efforts on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that the Equity Percentage is reduced to 8% or less, Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the Terminated Portion) of the Transaction, such that the Equity Percentage following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 8%. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment or delivery shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement and Section 8(b) of this Confirmation as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Terminated Portion of the Transaction, (ii) Issuer shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such portion of the Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction. The Equity Percentage as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (x) the number of Shares that Dealer or any of its affiliates beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) on such day, other than any Shares so owned as a hedge of the Transaction or as a hedge of the 2010 Warrant and (y) the product of the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement plus the product of the Number of Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement under the 2010 Warrant and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.
(k) Disclosure. Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Issuer and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Issuer relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.
(l) Designation by Dealer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Issuer, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Issuer to the extent of any such performance.
(m) Netting and Set-off.
(i) If on any date cash would otherwise be payable or Shares or other property would otherwise be deliverable hereunder or pursuant to the Agreement or pursuant to any other agreement between the parties by Issuer to Dealer and cash would otherwise be payable or Shares or other property would otherwise be deliverable hereunder or pursuant to the Agreement or pursuant to any other agreement between the parties by Dealer to Issuer and the type of property required to be paid or delivered by each such party on such date is the same, then, on such date, each such partys obligation to make such payment or delivery will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable or deliverable by one such party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable or deliverable by the other such party, replaced by an obligation of the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would
12
have been payable or deliverable to pay or deliver to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.
(ii) In addition to and without limiting any rights of set-off that a party hereto may have as a matter of law, pursuant to contract or otherwise, upon the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, Dealer shall have the right to terminate, liquidate and otherwise close out the Transaction and to set off any obligation or right that Dealer or any affiliate of Dealer may have to or against Issuer hereunder or under the Agreement against any right or obligation Dealer or any of its affiliates may have against or to Issuer, including without limitation any right to receive a payment or delivery pursuant to any provision of the Agreement or hereunder. In the case of a set-off of any obligation to release, deliver or pay assets against any right to receive assets of the same type, such obligation and right shall be set off in kind. In the case of a set-off of any obligation to release, deliver or pay assets against any right to receive assets of any other type, the value of each of such obligation and such right shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and the result of such set-off shall be that the net obligor shall pay or deliver to the other party an amount of cash or assets, at the net obligors option, with a value (determined, in the case of a delivery of assets, by the Calculation Agent) equal to that of the net obligation. In determining the value of any obligation to release or deliver Shares or any right to receive Shares, the value at any time of such obligation or right shall be determined by reference to the market value of the Shares at such time, as determined by the Calculation Agent. If an obligation or right is unascertained at the time of any such set-off, the Calculation Agent may in good faith estimate the amount or value of such obligation or right, in which case set-off will be effected in respect of that estimate, and the relevant party shall account to the other party at the time such obligation or right is ascertained.
(iii) Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement (including without limitation Section 6(f) thereof) and this Confirmation (including without limitation this Section 8(m)) or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, (A) Issuer shall not net or set off its obligations under the Transaction against its rights against Dealer under any other transaction or instrument; (B) Dealer may net and set off any rights of Dealer against Issuer arising under the Transaction only against obligations of Dealer to Issuer arising under any transaction or instrument if such transaction or instrument does not convey rights to Dealer senior to the claims of common stockholders in the event of Issuers bankruptcy; and (C) in the event of Issuers bankruptcy, Dealer waives any and all rights it may have to set-off in respect of the Transaction, whether arising under agreement, applicable law or otherwise. Dealer will give notice to Issuer of any netting or set off effected under this provision.
(n) Additional Termination Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon the occurrence of one of the following events, with respect to this Transaction, (1) Dealer shall have the right to designate such event an Additional Termination Event and designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement, and (2) Issuer shall be deemed the sole Affected Party and the Transaction shall be deemed the sole Affected Transaction:
(i) Issuer conveys, transfers, sells, leases or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to another person in a transaction pursuant to which the Shares are converted into cash, securities or other property.
(ii) There is a default by the Issuer or any subsidiary in the payment of the principal or interest on any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of $10.0 million in the aggregate of Issuer and/or any subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable, and such acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled within 10 days after written notice of such acceleration has been received by the Issuer or such subsidiary.
(iii) Any person or group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act other than the Issuer, any of its subsidiaries or its employee benefit plans, files a Schedule TO or any schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act disclosing that such person or group has become the direct or indirect beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of the common equity of the Issuer representing more than 50% of the voting power of such common equity entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.
13
(iv) If Dealer reasonably determines that it is advisable to terminate all or a portion of the Transaction so that Dealers related hedging activities will comply with applicable securities laws, rules or regulations.
(o) Effectiveness. If, prior to the Effective Date, Dealer in a commercially reasonable manner determines that it is advisable to cancel the Transaction because of concerns that Dealers related hedging activities could be viewed as not complying with applicable securities laws, rules or regulations, the Transaction shall be cancelled and shall not become effective, and (i) neither party shall have any rights with respect to or obligation to the other party in respect of the Transaction and (ii) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the date of such cancellation.
(p) Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH OF ISSUER AND DEALER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON BEHALF OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS) ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION OR THE ACTIONS OF DEALER OR ITS AFFILIATES IN THE NEGOTIATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
(q) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. THIS CONFIRMATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IN CONNECTION WITH ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN, AND ANY CLAIM OF INCONVENIENT FORUM WITH RESPECT TO, THESE COURTS.
