If delivery of Shares or Alternative Delivery Units, as the case may be, pursuant to this [Section 15] is to be made by Counterparty, paragraphs 2 through 7 of Annex A hereto shall apply as if # such delivery were a settlement of such Transaction to which Net Share Settlement applied, # the Cash Settlement Payment Date were the Early Termination Date or the date of early cancellation or termination, as the case may be, and # the Forward Cash Settlement Amount were equal to # zero minus # the Payment Amount owed by Counterparty. For the avoidance of doubt, if Counterparty validly elects for the provisions of this [Section 15] relating to the delivery of Shares or Alternative Delivery Units, as the case may be, not to apply to any Payment Amount, the provisions of [Article 12] of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of [Section 6(d)(ii)] of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply. If delivery of Shares or Alternative Delivery Units, as the case may be, is to be made by Dealer pursuant to this [Section 15], the period during which Dealer purchases Shares or Alternative Delivery Units to fulfill its delivery obligations under this [Section 15] shall be referred to as the “Seller Termination Purchase Period”.
