Common use of Separate Transactions Clause in Contracts

Separate Transactions. Adjustments: If Separate Transactions Adjustments apply to any Spin-off with respect to a Transaction, as of the ex-dividend date for such Spin-off, such Transaction shall be considered two separate Transactions, each with terms identical to the original Transaction (the “Original Transaction”), except that: (i) the “Shares” for the Original Transaction (the “Original Shares Transaction”) shall be the Original Shares and the “Shares” for the other transaction (the “Spin-off Shares Transaction”) shall be the Spin-off Shares, (ii) the Number of Shares for each Component of the Original Shares Transaction shall remain unchanged from the Number of Shares for such Component of the Original Transaction, (iii) the Number of Shares for each Component of the Spin-off Shares Transaction shall equal the product of (A) the Number of Shares for such Component of the Original Transaction (as in effect immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such Spin-off) and (B) the number of Spin-off Shares that a holder of one share of Original Shares would have owned or been entitled to receive in connection with such Spin-Off, (iv) the Put Strike Price and the Call Strike Price for each of the Original Shares Transaction and the Spin-off Shares Transaction shall be adjusted by the Calculation Agent to reflect the relative market values per share and dividend practices of the Original Shares and the Spin-off Shares immediately following the ex-dividend date for such Spin-off, as determined by the Calculation Agent, and (v) the Calculation Agent shall make adjustments to any terms of each of the Original Shares Transaction and the Spin-off Shares Transaction as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate (including, without limitation, adjustments to account for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to the Original Shares, the Spin-off Shares, the Original Shares Transaction or to the Spin-off Shares Transaction) to preserve the theoretical fair value of such Original Transaction to Dealer and Counterparty. Following a Spin-off to which Separate Transactions Adjustments are applicable with respect to a Transaction, this Master Confirmation and the Supplemental Confirmation for such Transaction shall apply in all respects (except as provided above) to both the Original Shares Transaction and the Spin-off Shares Transaction as if each were a separate Transaction under the Agreement. As of the ex-dividend date of any subsequent Spin-off, the Calculation Agent shall make adjustments to the terms of each of the Original Shares Transaction and the Spin-Off Shares Transaction in accordance with the second immediately preceding sentence. New Shares: In the definition of New Shares in Section 12.1(i) of the Equity Definitions, (a) the text in clause (i) thereof shall be deleted in its entirety (including the word “and” following such clause (i)) and replaced with “publicly listed, traded or quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The Nasdaq Global Select Market or The Nasdaq Global Market (or their respective successors),” and (b) the phrase “and (iii)(1) issued by a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, or (2) issued by any other entity unless, in the case of clause (2) the Calculation Agent determines that (x) treating such shares as New Shares will have a material adverse effect on Dealer’s rights or obligations in respect of each Transaction, on its Hedging Activities in respect of each Transaction or on the costs (including, without limitation, due to any increase in tax liability, decrease in tax benefit or other adverse effect on its tax position) of engaging in any of the foregoing and (y) Dealer cannot promptly avoid the occurrence of each such material adverse effect by (I) transferring or assigning its rights and obligations under this Master Confirmation and the Agreement to an affiliate of Dealer that regularly engages in transactions similar to the Transactions or (II) amending the terms of this Master Confirmation (whether because amendments would not avoid such occurrence or because Counterparty fails to agree promptly to such amendments)” shall be inserted immediately prior to the period. Consequences of Merger Events: Share-for-Share: Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment Share-for-Other: Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) Share-for-Combined: Component Adjustment Tender Offer: Applicable; provided, however, that (i) the definitions of “Tender Offer”, “Tender Offer Date” and “Announcement Date” in Section 12.1 of the Equity Definitions are each hereby amended by adding after the words “voting shares” the words “or Shares” and (ii) Section 12.1(d) of the Equity Definitions shall be amended by replacing the words “greater than 10%” in line three thereof with “greater than [ ]%”. Consequences of Tender Offers: Share-for-Share: Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment Share-for-Other: Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment Share-for-Combined: Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment Any adjustment to the terms of any Transaction hereunder and the determination of any amounts due upon termination of any Transaction hereunder as a result of a Merger Event or Tender Offer shall be made without duplication in respect of any prior adjustment hereunder. Consequences of Announcement Events: Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment as set forth in Section 12.3(d) of the Equity Definitions; provided that references to “Tender Offer” shall be replaced by references to “Announcement Event” and references to “Tender Offer Date” shall be replaced by references to “date of such Announcement Event”; provided further that the parties hereby agree that in making any adjustment pursuant to Section 12.3(d) of the Equity Definitions (as modified by this Master Confirmation), the Calculation Agent shall take into account solely the economic effect on the theoretical value of the Transactions to Dealer and Counterparty of such Announcement Event from changes in volatility, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to the Shares or to the Transactions, as if the date of such Announcement Event were the date of first public announcement of the relevant Event, or any intention to enter into such Event, by a Covered Party. An Announcement Event shall be an “Extraordinary Event” for purposes of the Equity Definitions, to which Article 12 of the Equity Definitions is applicable.
