Re: Base Cash Convertible Bond Hedge Transaction
The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Amended and Restated Confirmation”) is to amend and restate the terms and conditions of the cash convertible bond hedge transaction entered into between JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, London Branch (“Dealer”) and Liberty Media Corporation (“Counterparty”) as of the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”) to give effect to the adjustments in respect of the Supplemental Indenture executed by Counterparty on April 15, 2016 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), which amended the Indenture (as defined below) in respect of the common stock reclassification (the “Reclassification”) effected by Counterparty in April 2016, confirm the parties’ agreement to the amendments to the Indenture contemplated by the Supplemental Indenture and reflect all adjustments under the Transaction prior to the occurrence of the Reclassification. The parties agree that adjustments to the Transaction in connection with the Reclassification shall be deemed to be effective as of April 15, 2016. This Amended and Restated Confirmation, dated June 22, 2016 (the “Amendment and Restatement Date”), amends and restates in its entirety the Confirmation, dated October 10, 2013, between Dealer and Counterparty (the “Original Confirmation”) and constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below. All references to the Original Confirmation in any documentation between the parties shall be to this Amended and Restated Confirmation. This Amended and Restated Confirmation shall replace any previous agreements, including the Original Confirmation, and serve as the final documentation for the Transaction.
The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”), are incorporated into this Amended and Restated Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Equity Definitions and this Amended and Restated Confirmation, this Amended and Restated Confirmation shall govern. Certain defined terms used herein are based on terms that are defined in the Offering Memorandum dated October 10, 2013 (the “Offering Memorandum”) relating to the 1.375% Cash Convertible Senior Notes Due 2023 (as originally issued by Counterparty, the “Convertible Notes” and each USD 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, a “Convertible Note”) issued by Counterparty in an aggregate initial principal amount of USD 900,000,000 (as increased by up to an aggregate principal amount of USD 100,000,000 if and to the extent that the Initial Purchasers (as defined herein) exercise their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as defined herein)) pursuant to an indenture dated October 17, 2013 between Counterparty, as issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (as amended by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms defined in the Offering Memorandum, the Indenture and this Amended and Restated Confirmation, this Amended and Restated Confirmation shall govern.

In respect of any Option exercised or deemed exercised, an amount in cash equal to (A) the sum of the products, for |
4
|
each Valid Day during the Settlement Averaging Period for such Option, of (x) the Option Entitlement on such Valid Day multiplied by (y) the Relevant Price on such Valid Day less the Strike Price, divided by (B) the number of Valid Days in the Settlement Averaging Period; provided that if the calculation contained in clause (y) above results in a negative number, such number shall be replaced with the number “zero”; provided, further, however, that if a Market Disruption Event affecting fewer than all Shares comprising the Basket occurs on a day that, but for the Market Disruption Event, would have been a Valid Day during the Settlement Period (a “Partially Disrupted Day”), the Calculation Agent shall have the right to adjust the Option Cash Settlement Amount as appropriate to reflect the additional costs (including, but not limited to, hedging mismatches and market losses) and expenses incurred by Dealer in connection with its commercially reasonable hedging activities (including the unwinding of any such hedge position) as a result of Dealer having engaged in hedging activities (including the unwinding of any hedge position in whole or in part) on such Partially Disrupted Day. |
Valid Day: |
A day on which (i) there is no Market Disruption Event with respect to any Shares comprising the Basket and (ii) trading in all Shares comprising the Basket generally occurs on the primary exchange or quotation system on which such Shares then trade or are quoted. If all such Shares are not traded or quoted, “Valid Day” means a Business Day. |
Scheduled Valid Day: |

Adjustments applicable to the Transaction: |
|
Potential Adjustment Events: |
Notwithstanding Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions, a “Potential Adjustment Event” means an occurrence of any event or condition, as set forth in any Dilution Adjustment Provision, that would result in an adjustment under the Indenture to the “Conversion Rate”, the “Securities Basket” or the composition of “Reference Property” or to any “Last Reported Sale Price”, “Daily VWAP” or “Daily Settlement Amount” (each as defined in the Indenture). For the avoidance of doubt, Dealer shall not have any delivery or payment obligation hereunder, and no adjustment shall be made to the terms of the Transaction, on account of (x) any distribution of cash, property or securities by Counterparty to holders of the Convertible Notes (upon conversion or otherwise) or (y) any other transaction in which holders of the Convertible Notes are entitled to participate, in each case, in lieu of an adjustment under the Indenture of the type referred to in the immediately preceding sentence (including, without limitation, pursuant to the second sentence of Section 12.04(c) of the Indenture or the second sentence of Section 12.04(d) of the Indenture). |

6
|
with Counterparty disagrees with any adjustment to the Convertible Notes that involves or could have involved an exercise of discretion by Counterparty or its board of directors (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 12.04(i) of the Indenture or in connection with any proportional adjustment or the determination of the fair value of any securities, property, rights or other assets), then in each such case, the Calculation Agent will determine the adjustment to be made to any one or more of the Basket, Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction in a commercially reasonable manner; provided further that the Calculation Agent may limit or alter any such adjustment referenced in this paragraph so that the fair value of the Transaction to Dealer (taking into account a commercially reasonable hedge position and any losses or costs from adjustment thereto resulting from the applicable event or announcement thereof) is not adversely affected as a result of such adjustment, it being understood that the Calculation Agent may consider, following consultation with Counterparty and as part of its determination as to whether and how to limit or alter any such adjustment, the trading and other characteristics (and expected trading and other characteristics) of the Shares comprising the Basket (including, without limitation, the liquidity and volatility characteristics thereof) for a period of time it determines appropriate, in its commercially reasonable judgment, following the occurrence of the relevant event. |

7
|
adjustment shall be made without regard to any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to any Excluded Provision; and provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Calculation Agent in good faith and following consultation with Counterparty disagrees with any adjustment to the Convertible Notes that involves or could have involved an exercise of discretion by Counterparty or its board of directors, then in each such case, the Calculation Agent will determine the adjustment to be made to any one or more of the Basket or the Shares (in the case of a Merger Event), Strike Price, Number of Options, Option Entitlement and any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction in a commercially reasonable manner; and provided further that the Calculation Agent may limit or alter any such adjustment referenced in this paragraph so that the fair value of the Transaction to Dealer (taking into account a commercially reasonable hedge position and any losses or costs from adjustments thereto resulting from the applicable event or announcement thereof) is not adversely affected as a result of such adjustment, it being understood that the Calculation Agent may consider, following consultation with Counterparty and as part of its determination as to whether and how to limit or alter any such adjustment, the trading and other characteristics (and expected trading and other characteristics) of the Shares comprising the Basket (including, without limitation, the liquidity and volatility characteristics thereof) for a period of time it determines appropriate, in its commercially reasonable judgment, following the occurrence of the relevant event; and provided further that if, (i) with respect to a Merger Event or a Tender Offer, the consideration for any Shares includes (or, at the option of a holder of such Shares, may include) shares of an entity or person that is not a corporation or is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or (ii) with respect to a Merger Event, Tender Offer or Potential Adjustment Event, the Counterparty to the Transaction following such Merger Event, Tender Offer or Potential Adjustment Event will not be a corporation or will not be the sole Issuer for all of the Shares comprising the Basket following such Merger Event, Tender Offer or Potential Adjustment Event, then Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) or Partial Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) may apply at Dealer’s sole election. |
Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting: |
Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) or Partial Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination), at Dealer’s sole election; provided that, in addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it will also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange for any Shares comprising the Basket is located in the United States and the relevant Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The |
8
|
NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors); if such Shares are immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors), such exchange or quotation system shall thereafter be deemed to be the Exchange for such Shares and the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments it deems necessary to the terms of the Transaction, as if Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment were applicable to such event. |

Option Entitlement and (2) the aggregate number of such Shares underlying any other call option transaction sold by Dealer to Counterparty, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of such Shares outstanding. The “Share Amount” as of any day and with respect to any Shares comprising the Basket is the number of such Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “Dealer Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of such Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “Applicable Share Limit” means, with respect to any Shares comprising the Basket, a number of such Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of such Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of such Shares outstanding. |
(iii) |
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Amended and Restated Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities, or make or receive any payment in cash, to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities, or to make or receive such payment in cash, and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance. |
(f) |
Reserved. |
(g) |
Role of Agent. Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliate of Dealer (“JPMS”), has acted solely as agent and not as principal with respect to the Transaction and (ii) JPMS has no obligation or liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of the Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of the settlement thereof). Each party agrees it will look solely to the other party (or any guarantor in respect thereof) for performance of such other party’s obligations under the Transaction. |
(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amended and Restated Confirmation, if an event of default with respect to Counterparty occurs under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture, then such event of default shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.
(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amended and Restated Confirmation, the receipt by Dealer from Counterparty, within the applicable time period set forth under “Notice of Exercise” above, of any Notice of Exercise in respect of Options that relate to Relevant Convertible Notes as to which additional Shares would be added to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 12.03 of the Indenture in connection with a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this Section 9(h)(ii). Upon receipt of any such Notice of Exercise, Dealer shall designate an Exchange Business Day following such Additional Termination Event (which Exchange Business Day shall in no event be earlier than the related settlement date for such Convertible Notes) as an Early Termination Date with
16
respect to the portion of this Transaction corresponding to a number of Options (the “Make-Whole Conversion Options”) equal to the lesser of (A) the number of such Options specified in such Notice of Exercise and (B) the Number of Options as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date and, as of such date, the Number of Options shall be reduced by the number of Make-Whole Conversion Options. Any payment hereunder with respect to such termination shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the number of Make-Whole Conversion Options, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event and (3) the terminated portion of the Transaction were the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in determining the amount payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall not take into account any adjustments to the Option Entitlement that result from corresponding adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 12.03 of the Indenture); provided that the amount of cash deliverable in respect of such early termination by Dealer to Counterparty shall not be greater than the product of (x) the Applicable Percentage and (y) the excess of (I) (1) the number of Make-Whole Conversion Options multiplied by (2) the Conversion Rate (after taking into account any applicable adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 12.03 of the Indenture) multiplied by (3) a price per Share determined by the Calculation Agent over (II) the aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Notes, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amended and Restated Confirmation, in the event that Counterparty amends, modifies, supplements, waives or obtains a waiver in respect of any term of the Indenture or the Convertible Notes governing the principal amount, coupon, maturity, repurchase obligation of Counterparty, redemption right of Counterparty, any term relating to conversion of the Convertible Notes (including changes to the conversion rate, provisions relating to adjustments to the conversion rate, conversion settlement dates or conversion conditions), or any term that would require consent of the holders of not less than 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to amend, in each case without the consent of Dealer, then such event shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such Additional Termination Event, (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party, (B) the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (C) Dealer shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.
(i) |
Additional Adjustment Events. |
(i) |
In the event that the Calculation Agent determines, following consultation with Counterparty, that there has occurred a material deterioration in the liquidity, or that there is a reasonable likelihood that there will occur a material deterioration in liquidity in the near-term future, of the Basket (or any Shares comprising the Basket) from the liquidity or expected liquidity assumed by the Calculation Agent in making its most recent adjustment hereunder (a “Liquidity Event”), the Calculation Agent will (x) adjust the terms of the Transaction to reflect the economic effect on the Transaction and/or the trading and other characteristics (and expected trading and other characteristics) of any Shares comprising the Basket to Dealer arising out of, or in connection with, such Liquidity Event and (y) determine the effective date of such adjustment; provided that, if the Calculation Agent determines that no adjustment that it could make hereunder would produce a commercially reasonable result, the Calculation Agent shall notify the parties that the relevant consequence shall be the termination of the Transaction or, at the option of the Dealer, the portion of the Transaction affected by such Liquidity Event (which may be a pro rata portion of the entire Transaction or the portion of the Transaction represented by the affected portion of the Basket), in which case Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) or Partial Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination), as |
17
applicable, shall be deemed to apply; provided, further, that, if following an adjustment for a Liquidity Event and consultation with Counterparty, the Calculation Agent determines the liquidity of the Basket (or any Shares comprising the Basket) has materially improved from the liquidity of the Basket or such Shares, as applicable, assumed by the Calculation Agent in making such adjustment, then the Calculation Agent will (a) adjust the terms of the transaction to reflect the economic effect on the Transaction and/or the trading and other characteristics (and expected trading and other characteristics) of any Shares comprising the Basket to Dealer arising out of, or in connection with, such improvement in liquidity (but in no event shall any such adjustment result in terms that are more favorable to Counterparty than would have existed had the adjustment for such Liquidity Event not occurred) and (b) determine the effective date of such adjustment. |
(ii) |
In the event of any announcement by, or on behalf of, any Issuer of (w) any event that, if consummated, would constitute a Potential Adjustment Event, Merger Event or Tender Offer where such event is withdrawn, discontinued or otherwise terminated or the terms thereof are changed or otherwise modified prior to consummation, (x) any event described in Section 12.04(k)(vii) of the Indenture, (y) any amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Counterparty dated as of April 15, 2016 (the “Charter”) that the Calculation Agent determines is material in the context of the Transaction, or (z) any event described in clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) of the definitions of “Exempt Sirius XM Group Disposition”, “Exempt Braves Group Disposition” or “Exempt Media Group Disposition” (each, as defined in the Charter), the Calculation Agent, following consultation with Counterparty, may (a) make such adjustments to the exercise, settlement, payment or other terms of the Transaction as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction and/or the trading and other characteristics (and expected trading and other characteristics) of any Shares comprising the Basket to Dealer of such event or announcement (taking into account a commercially reasonable hedge position and any losses or costs from any adjustments thereto resulting from the applicable announcement or event) (in each case, which may include, without limitation, any actual or expected change in volatility, dividends, correlation, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to the Basket or any Shares comprising the Basket) and (b) determine the effective date of such adjustment; provided that, if the Calculation Agent determines that no adjustment that it could make hereunder would produce a commercially reasonable result, the Calculation Agent shall notify the parties that the relevant consequence shall be the termination of the Transaction or, at the option of the Dealer, the portion of the Transaction affected by such announcement or event (which may be a pro rata portion of the entire Transaction or the portion of the Transaction represented by the affected portion of the Basket), in which case Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) or Partial Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination), as applicable, shall be deemed to apply. |
(j) |
Amendments to Equity Definitions. |
(i) |
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) 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.” |
(ii) |
Section 12.9(b)(i) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) replacing “either party may elect” with “Dealer may elect” and (2) replacing “notice to the other party” with “notice to Counterparty” in the first sentence of such section. |
18
between X and Y, except any Equity Contract (each such contract or agreement, a “Separate Agreement”), including without limitation any obligation to make a payment of cash or a delivery of any other property or securities. For this purpose, X shall be entitled to convert any obligation (or the relevant portion of such obligation) denominated in one currency into another currency at the rate of exchange at which it would be able to purchase the relevant amount of such currency, and to convert any obligation to deliver any non-cash property into an obligation to deliver cash in an amount calculated by reference to the market value of such property as of the Early Termination Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith; provided that in the case of a set-off of any obligation to release or deliver assets against any right to receive fungible assets, such obligation and right shall be set off in kind and; provided further that in determining the value of any obligation to deliver any securities, the value at any time of such obligation shall be determined by reference to the market value of such securities at such time, as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent. If an obligation 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, 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. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Section 9(k), in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation of either Counterparty or Dealer neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under the Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Amended and Restated Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. “Equity Contract” shall mean for purposes of this provision any transaction relating to Shares between X and Y that qualifies as ‘equity’ under applicable accounting rules. |
(l) |
Securities Act. Each of Dealer and Counterparty acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof. Accordingly, Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer that (i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment, (ii) it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act, (iii) it is entering into the Transaction for its own account and without a view to the distribution or resale thereof and (iv) the assignment, transfer or other disposition of the Transaction has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and is restricted under this Amended and Restated Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws. |
(m) |
Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of either party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into the Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein. |
19
customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities; provided, however, that if Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty, (ii) in order to allow Dealer to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to Dealer, including customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from Dealer), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate Dealer for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement), or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Dealer at the Relevant Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Dealer. |
(o) |
Tax Disclosure. Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty 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 Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. |
(p) |
Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone or add, in whole or in part, any Valid Day or Valid Days during the Settlement Averaging Period or any other date of valuation, payment or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the Options hereunder (or some or all of the Shares comprising the Basket), if Dealer reasonably determines, in its discretion, that such action is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer to effect purchases of any Shares comprising the Basket in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer. |
(q) |
Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto intend for (i) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code. |
(i) |
promptly following the public announcement of the results of any election by the holders of any Shares comprising the Basket with respect to the consideration due upon consummation of any Merger Event, Counterparty shall give Dealer written notice of the types and amounts of consideration that holders of such Shares have affirmatively elected to receive upon consummation of such Merger Event (the date of such notification, the “Consideration Notification Date”); provided that in no event shall the Consideration Notification Date be later than the date on which such Merger Event is consummated; and |
(ii) |
promptly following any adjustment to the Convertible Notes in connection with any Potential Adjustment Event, Merger Event or Tender Offer, Counterparty shall give Dealer written notice of the details of such adjustment. |
