Common use of Alternative Transaction Structure Clause in Contracts

Alternative Transaction Structure. (a) If the Utah Merger is not consummated within the period specified by Section 2:318(1) of the Dutch Code, then, unless otherwise mutually determined by Pluto, Spinco and Utah, the structure of the Combination shall be changed such that for all purposes hereunder the Combination shall consist of the Asset Sale followed by the Utah Liquidation (the “Alternative Transaction Structure”). If the Alternative Transaction Structure is adopted in accordance with the preceding sentence, (A) all references to the Combination shall be deemed to refer to the Alternative Transaction Structure, (B) all references to the Effective Time shall be deemed to refer to the Asset Sale Effective Time, (C) all references to the Liquidation shall be deemed to refer to the Utah Liquidation, (D) all references to the Liquidation Distribution shall be deemed to refer to the Utah Liquidation Distribution and (E) all references to Utah Shareholder Approval shall be deemed to refer solely to the approval of the Alternative Transaction Resolutions. (b) If the Alternative Transaction Structure is adopted pursuant to Section 3.4(a): (i) Promptly after satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article IX, but in any event on the Closing Date (New York time), (i) Spinco Sub and Utah shall enter into the Sale Agreement, whereby Utah will sell and agree to transfer, assign and deliver to Spinco Sub or its designated nominee, and Spinco Sub or its designated nominee shall accept and assume from Utah, all of the right, title and interest of Utah in, to and under all of its assets and liabilities (the “Asset Sale”) on the conditions set out in the Sale Agreement, with the consideration for such Asset Sale being the Exchangeable Note; (ii) at the Asset Sale Effective Time, each Utah Option, Utah SAR, Utah RSU Award and Utah PSU Award outstanding as of immediately before the Asset Sale Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive a Spinco Option, Spinco SAR or Spinco RSU Award, as applicable, immediately following the Asset Sale Effective Time in accordance with Article IV; (iii) upon the execution of the Sale Agreement, the Asset Sale will be deemed effective as of 6:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date (such time, the “Asset Sale Effective Time”); (iv) as soon as practicable after the Asset Sale Effective Time, Utah will be dissolved (ontbonden) and subsequently liquidated (vereffend) in accordance with Sections 2:19 and 2:23b of the Dutch Code (the “Utah Liquidation”) with the Liquidator, acting as liquidator (vereffenaar) of Utah. In connection with the Utah Liquidation, it is intended that the Liquidator shall effectuate the distribution of the Exchangeable Note (which, upon such distribution being effectuated, shall automatically and mandatorily be exchanged for shares of Spinco Common Stock) and all other assets then held by Utah (if any) by means of a liquidation distribution (the “Utah Liquidation Distribution”) (which is intended to be an advance liquidation distribution (uitkering bij voorbaat) in one installment as promptly as practicable following the Utah Liquidation, but in any event on the Closing Date (New York time)) to the shareholders of Utah such that each shareholder of Utah shall receive a number of shares of Spinco Common Stock equal to (x) the product of (i) the Exchange Ratio and (ii) the number of Utah Ordinary Shares held by such shareholder as of such time, subject to any withholding Taxes, including any withholding Taxes under the Dutch Dividend Withholding Tax Act. The Utah Liquidation Distribution shall be made as soon as practicable after the Asset Sale Effective Time, but in any event on the Closing Date (New York time); (v) the board of directors of the Liquidator shall initially consist of one or more Persons to be designated by Utah, and Spinco Sub and Utah shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to (A) procure that the board of directors of the Liquidator shall, as soon as practicable after the Utah Shareholders Meeting, solely consist of one or more professional liquidator(s) or similar service provider(s) (natural person(s) or a professional liquidator service provider(s)) and (B) reach agreement with such service provider as soon as practicable after the date hereof; provided that such reasonable best efforts obligation shall in any event not require any Pluto Entity or Spinco Entity (other than, in the case of Spinco and Spinco Sub, pursuant to the Sale Agreement) to indemnify Utah for any of its liabilities pursuant to the Utah Liquidation; and (vi) as soon as reasonably practicable after the completion of the Spinco Common Stock Sale by the Exchange Agent as described in Section 3.5(b) (if applicable) Utah shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the Utah Liquidation Distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Exchangeable Note. On behalf of Utah, the Exchange Agent shall (A) deliver to each shareholder of Utah a number of shares of Spinco Common Stock equal to (x) the product of (i) the Exchange Ratio and (ii) the number of Utah Ordinary Shares held by such shareholder at such time minus (y) the number of shares of Spinco Common Stock sold pursuant to the Spinco Common Stock Sale, if any, in respect of such Utah shareholder’s Individual Withholding Amount pursuant to Section 3.5(b) or the terms of the Exchangeable Note, and (B) pay aggregate net cash proceeds from such Spinco Common Stock Sale in an amount equal to the Aggregate Withholding Amount to the DTA in satisfaction of Utah’s obligation to withhold and remit Dutch Dividend Withholding Tax in respect of the Utah Liquidation under the Dutch Dividend Withholding Tax Act. Banks may charge administrative costs to shareholders of Utah in relation to the transfer of the Utah Liquidation Distribution to their accounts, for which no compensation will be paid to such shareholders of Utah. Each shareholder of Utah that receives the number of shares of Spinco Common Stock that such shareholder is entitled to receive in accordance with the second sentence of this Section 3.4(b)(vi) and any cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 3.6 or the terms of the Exchangeable Note, shall (1) be deemed to have received the number of shares of Spinco Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the Exchange Ratio and (ii) the number of Utah Ordinary Shares held by such shareholder (including any such shares of Spinco Common Stock sold in respect of Taxes required to be withheld from the Utah Liquidation Distribution) and (2) thereafter have no further right to receive cash, shares of Spinco Common Stock or any other consideration in respect of Utah Ordinary Shares or the Exchangeable Note.
