12.2. Consequences of Merger Events.
For any Merger Event if, under “Consequences of Merger Events” for “Share-for-Share”, “Share-for-Other” or “Share-for-Combined”, the specified consequence is:

12.2(a) “Alternative Obligation”, then except for Reverse Mergers, following the Merger Date:

(i) the relevant New Shares or Other Consideration (as modified by any relevant terms and including any proceeds of any redemption) will be deemed to be the “Shares”

(ii) if relevant, the new issuer will be deemed to be the “Issuer”;

(iii) those New Shares or Other Consideration to which an existing shareholder would be entitled upon completion of the Merger Event will be deemed the relevant “Number of Shares”; and

(iv) the Calculation Agent will make other adjustments to the terms, as necessary (but will not adjust to account solely for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity).

12.2(b) “Cancellation and Payment”, the Transaction will be cancelled as of the Merger Date and:

(i) Option Transactions: Seller will pay Buyer the Section 12.7(b) amount, and

(ii) Forward Transactions and Equity Swap Transactions: one party will pay the other a 12.7(c) amount;

12.2(c) “Options Exchange Adjustment”, then the Calculation Agent will adjust the Transaction per Options Exchange Adjustment in Section 11.2(b) (but ignoring the words “diluting or concentrative”);

12.2(d) “Calculation Agent Adjustment”, the Calculation Agent must either:

(i) adjust the Transaction to account for the economic effect of the Merger Event (excluding changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity of the Shares or the Transaction), or

(ii) if it considers that that could not produce a commercially reasonable result, notify the parties that the Transaction will be terminated, in which case Cancellation and Payment will apply and any necessary payments will be calculated under Section 12.7 (and for Option Transactions, the Calculation Agent must determine the payment as if “Calculation Agent Determination” applied);

12.2(e) If “Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment” is specified then, after the Merger Date, the Calculation Agent will either

(i) adjust the Transaction to account for the economic effect of the Merger Date in its determination, or

(ii) if that would not produce a commercially reasonable result, terminate the Transaction, at “Cancellation and Payment” (or, for an Option Transaction, “Calculation Agent Determination”) under Section 12.7.

12.3(e) “Partial Cancellation and Payment”, then the portion of a Share Basket Transaction represented by Affected Shares will be cancelled as of the Merger Date, the amount calculated under Section 12.7 for such Affected Shares will be paid by one party to the other, the Share Basket Transaction will continue with the Basket comprising the remaining Shares, and the Calculation Agent will adjust any terms if necessary to preserve as nearly as practicable the economic terms of the Transaction for the remaining Shares; or

12.2(g) “Component Adjustment”, then, where a Merger Event is “Share-for-Combined”, the option chosen for “Share-for-Share” will apply to the New Shares component and the option chosen for “Share-for-Other” will apply to the Other Consideration component (as the Calculation Agent determines).
