Certain Business Combinations In the event it is determined by the Board, upon receipt of a written opinion of the Company's independent public accountants, that the enforcement of any Section or subsection of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 6(b) hereof, which allows for the acceleration of vesting of options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock upon a termination in connection with a Change of Control, would preclude accounting for any proposed business combination of the Company involving a Change of Control as a pooling of interests, and the Board otherwise desires to approve such a proposed business transaction which requires as a condition to the closing of such transaction that it be accounted for as a pooling of interests, then any such Section of this Agreement shall be null and void, but only if the absence of enforcement of such Section would preserve the pooling treatment. For purposes of this Section 9, the Board's determination shall require the unanimous approval of the disinterested Board members.
Business Combinations The Company will not consummate a Business Combination with any entity that is affiliated with any Insider unless (i) the Company obtains an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions that the Business Combination is fair to the Company from a financial point of view and (ii) a majority of the Company’s disinterested and independent directors (if there are any) approve such transaction.
Assistance with Business Combination For a period of ninety days following the Effective Date, in the event any person or entity (regardless of any FINRA affiliation or association) is engaged to assist the Company in its search for a Business Combination candidate or to provide any similar Business Combination-related services, the Company will provide the following information (the “Business Combination Information”) to the Representative: (i) complete details of all services and copies of agreements governing such services (which details or agreements may be appropriately redacted to account for privilege or confidentiality concerns); and (ii) justification as to why the person or entity providing the Business Combination-related services should not be considered an “underwriter and related person” with respect to the Company’s initial public offering, as such term is defined in Rule 5110 of FINRA’s Conduct Rules. The Company also agrees that proper disclosure of such arrangement or potential arrangement will be made in the proxy statement which the Company will file for purposes of soliciting shareholder approval for the Business Combination. Upon the Company’s delivery of the Business Combination Information to the Representative, the Company hereby expressly authorizes the Representative to provide such information directly to FINRA as a result of representations the Representative have made to FINRA in connection with the Offering.
Limitations on Mergers and Consolidations The Company shall not, in any transaction or series of transactions, consolidate with or merge into any Person, or sell, lease, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, unless:
Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (each an "Affiliate Transaction"), other than (x) Affiliate Transactions permitted under paragraph (b) below and (y) Affiliate Transactions on terms that are no less favorable than those that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm's-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary. All Affiliate Transactions (and each series of related Affiliate Transactions which are similar or part of a common plan) that involves an aggregate fair market value of more than $5.0 million shall be approved by the Board of Managers of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, such approval to be evidenced by a Board Resolution stating that such Board of Managers has determined that such transaction complies with the foregoing provisions. If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company enters into an Affiliate Transaction (or a series of related Affiliate Transactions related to a common plan) that involves an aggregate fair market value of more than $10.0 million, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall, prior to the consummation thereof, obtain a favorable opinion as to the fairness of such transaction or series of related transactions to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view, from an Independent Financial Advisor and file the same with the Trustee.
Limitation on Transactions If Debentures are issued to the Trust or a trustee of the Trust in connection with the issuance of Trust Securities by the Trust and (i) there shall have occurred any event that would constitute an Event of Default; (ii) the Company shall be in default with respect to its payment of any obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee relating to the Trust; or (iii) the Company shall have given notice of its election to defer payments of interest on such Debentures by extending the interest payment period as provided in this Indenture and such period, or any extension thereof, shall be continuing, then (a) the Company may not, and may not permit any Subsidiary to, declare or pay any dividend on, make any distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock (other than (1) the reclassification of any class of the Company's capital stock into another class of capital stock, (2) dividends or distributions payable in any class of the Company's common stock, (3) any declaration of a dividend in connection with the implementation of a shareholder rights plan, or the issuance of stock under any such plan in the future, or the redemption or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto, (4) payments under the Preferred Securities Guarantee and (5) purchases of the Company's common stock related to the rights under any of the Company's benefit plans for its or its subsidiaries' directors, officers or employees); (b) the Company shall not make any payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities issued by the Company which rank pari passu with or junior to the Debentures; provided, however, that the Company may make payments pursuant to its obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee; and (c) the Company shall not redeem, purchase or acquire less than all of the outstanding Debentures or any of the Preferred Securities.
Restrictions on Business There shall be no restrictions on the business which Amalco is authorized to carry on.
Initial Business Combination Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Statutory Prospectus and the Prospectus, prior to the date hereof, the Company has not identified any business combination target and it has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target.
Payment of Deferred Underwriting Commission on Business Combination Upon the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, the Company agrees that it will cause the Trustee to pay the Deferred Underwriting Commission directly from the Trust Account to the Underwriters, in accordance with Section 1.3.
Prohibition on Transfers, Other Actions Until the earlier of (a) the stockholder approval of the Merger and (b) termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.01, the Stockholder agrees that it shall not (i) Transfer any of such Stockholder’s Covered Shares, Beneficial Ownership thereof or any other interest therein (including any voting power with respect thereto) unless such Transfer is a Permitted Transfer; (ii) enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any Person, or take any other action, that violates or conflicts with or would reasonably be expected to violate or conflict with, or result in or give rise to a violation of or conflict with, such Stockholder’s representations, warranties, covenants and obligations under this Agreement; or (iii) take any action that could reasonably be expected to restrict or otherwise affect such Stockholder’s legal power, authority and right to comply with and perform its covenants and obligations under this Agreement. Any Transfer in violation of this provision shall be void ab initio. The Stockholder shall not request that the Company or its transfer agent register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any Certificate representing any of such Stockholder’s Covered Shares save for any Permitted Transfer. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require any action, or restrict the Stockholder, with respect to any Covered Shares subject to any pledge or security interest in effect as of the date hereof as set forth on Schedule 1.B hereto to the extent such action or restriction is inconsistent with the terms of such pledge or security interest; provided that, unless and until there is a bona fide foreclosure with respect to such pledge or security interest, such Stockholder agrees that there are no terms of any such pledge or security interest that will prevent or impair such Stockholder from complying with any obligation, agreement or covenant set forth herein.
