owed to Wells Fargo hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Counterparty’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Counterparty shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Exchange Business Day after, Wells Fargo gives notice to Counterparty that, after such delivery, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would not exceed 8.0%, and
(ii) the Share Amount would not exceed the Applicable Share Limit. The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Wells Fargo and any of its affiliates or any other person subject to aggregation with Wells Fargo for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, or any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) of which Wells Fargo is or may be deemed to be a part beneficially owns (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act), without duplication, on such day (or, to the extent that for any reason the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such higher number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.
The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Wells Fargo and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Wells Fargo (Wells Fargo or any such person, a “Wells Fargo Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of 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 Wells Fargo in its reasonable discretion. The “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Wells Fargo Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Wells Fargo Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Wells Fargo in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.
For the avoidance of doubt, other than payment of the Prepayment Amount by Counterparty, nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted as requiring Counterparty to cash settle the Transaction, except in circumstances where cash settlement is within Counterparty’s control (including, without limitation, where Counterparty timely elects not to receive or deliver Alternative Termination Delivery Units in accordance with the terms hereof) or in those circumstances in which holders of the Shares would also receive cash.
