The ASR contains provisions customary for agreements of this type, including provisions for adjustments to the transaction terms, the circumstances under which the ASR may be accelerated, extended or terminated early by BOA and various acknowledgments, representations and warranties made by the parties to one another. At settlement, BOA may be required to deliver additional shares of common stock to the Company, or, under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to make a cash payment to BOA or may elect to deliver shares of its common stock to BOA.
