Action by Securityholders Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action) the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such Securityholders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of such holders of Debentures voting in favor thereof at any meeting of such Securityholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of such Securityholders or (d) by any other method the Trustee deems satisfactory. If the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action or revocation of the same, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers' Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such Debentures for the determination of Securityholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action or revocation of the same, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action or revocation of the same may be given before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders for the purposes of determining whether Securityholders of the requisite proportion of outstanding Debentures have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action or revocation of the same, and for that purpose the outstanding Debentures shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than 6 months after the record date.
Approval by Shareholders The Trust will call a meeting of the shareholders of the Selling Fund to consider and act upon this Agreement and to take all other action necessary to obtain approval of the transactions contemplated herein.
Voting by Shareholders (a) Shareholders shall not have the power to vote on any matter except: (i) for the election or removal of Trustees to the extent and as provided in Article V hereof; and (ii) with respect to such additional matters relating to the Trust as may be required by law or as the Trustees may consider and determine necessary or desirable.
By Shareholders Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 0, each Shareholder, jointly and severally, hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its directors, officers, employees and controlled and controlling persons (hereinafter “Buyer’s Affiliates”) and the Company from and against all Claims asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by Buyer, Buyer’s Affiliates or the Company, directly or indirectly, by reason of, arising out of or resulting from (a) the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of any Shareholder or Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement (regardless of whether such breach is deemed “material” for purpose of Section 0), or (b) the breach of any covenant of any Shareholder or the Company contained in this Agreement. Regardless of the foregoing, however, breaches of representations and warranties contained in Section 0 hereof shall be subject only to several indemnification by the respective Shareholders who shall have made and breached such representations and warranties.

Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or by law, any action required by law to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to (i) its registered office in the State of Delaware by hand or by certified mail or registered mail, return receipt requested, (ii) its principal place of business, or (iii) an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.

Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation as provided in this Section 1.10.
Stockholder Vote In connection with any vote of the holders of the Company’s common stock issued in the Initial Public Offering (such stockholders, the “Public Stockholders”) regarding a Business Combination, the Company shall provide to the Trustee an affidavit or certificate of a firm regularly engaged in the business of soliciting proxies and tabulating stockholder votes verifying the vote of the Public Stockholders regarding such Business Combination.
No Vote of Parent Stockholders No vote of the stockholders of Parent or the holders of any other securities of Parent (equity or otherwise) is required by any applicable Law, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other equivalent organizational documents of Parent or the applicable rules of any exchange on which securities of Parent are traded, in order for Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
Shares of Dissenting Shareholders Each issued and outstanding share of Company Stock held by a Dissenting Stockholder, if any, shall not be exchanged and converted as described in Article II, Section 1(c) hereof but shall become the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to the Delaware Statute; provided, however, that each share of Company Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time and held by a Dissenting Stockholder who or which shall, after the Effective Time, withdraw his or its demand for appraisal or lose or fail to perfect his or its right of appraisal as provided in the Delaware Statute shall be deemed, as of the Effective Time, to be exchanged and converted into Parent Preferred Stock as provided in Article II, Section 2(d), without interest. After the Effective Time, as provided in Section 262 of the Delaware Statute, no Dissenting Stockholder will be entitled to vote the shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Dissenting Stockholder's demand for appraisal for any purpose or be entitled to the payment of dividends or other distributions on such shares. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for fair value of such Company Stock, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all the negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment (except to the extent that any such payment is pursuant to a court order) with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.
Redemption by Shareholder Each holder of Shares of the Trust (or a particular Series thereof) shall have the right at such times as may be permitted by the Trust, but no less frequently than required by the 1940 Act, to require the Trust (or such Series) to redeem all or any part of his Shares of the Trust (or such Series) at a redemption price equal to the net asset value per Share of the Trust (or Series) next determined in accordance with subsection (l) of this Section 6.1 after the Shares are properly tendered for redemption; provided, that the Trustees may from time to time, in their discretion, determine and impose a fee for such redemption and that the proceeds of the redemption of Shares (including a fractional Share) of any Class of the Trust (or any Series thereof) shall be reduced by the amount of any applicable contingent deferred sales charge or other sales charge, if any, payable on such redemption to the distributor of Shares of such Class pursuant to the terms of 20 27 the initial issuance of the Shares of such Class (to the extent consistent with the 1940 Act or regulations or exemptions thereunder) and the Trust shall promptly pay to such distributor the amount of such deferred sales charge. Payment of the redemption price shall be in cash; provided, however, that if the Trustees determine, which determination shall be conclusive, that conditions exist which make payment wholly in cash unwise or undesirable, the Trust may make payment wholly or partly in Securities or other assets belonging to such Series at the value of such Securities or assets used in such determination of net asset value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust may postpone payment of the redemption price and may suspend the right of the holders of Shares of the Trust (or any Series thereof) to require the Trust to redeem Shares of the Trust (or such Series) during any period or at any time when and to the extent permissible under the 1940 Act.
Warrant Holders Not Deemed Stockholders No holder of Warrants shall, as such, be entitled to vote or to receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock that may at any time be issuable upon exercise of such Warrants for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of Warrants, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issue or reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger or conveyance or otherwise), or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights, until such Holder shall have exercised such Warrants and been issued shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions hereof.
