Subscription Rights In case any stock or other securities of the Company are offered for subscription to the holders of shares of the Company deposited hereunder, the Trustees, promptly upon receipt of notice of such offer, shall mail or deliver a copy thereof to each registered holder of a Trust Certificate. If at least five (5) days prior to the last day on which such subscription can be made, the Trustee shall receive a request from any Trust Certificate holder to subscribe in his behalf for a stated amount of such stock or securities, together with the sum of money required to pay for the same, the Trustees shall make such subscription and the necessary payment, and upon receiving from the Company the stock or securities so subscribed for, shall issue to such Trust Certificate holder a new Trust Certificate in respect thereof if the same be voting shares, but if the same not be voting shares the Trustees shall mail or deliver the stock or securities received from the Company to the Trust Certificate holder in whose behalf the subscription is made or may instruct the Company to make delivery thereof directly to said Trust Certificate holder; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of such stock or securities which the Trustees shall be so requested to subscribe for shall exceed the total amount which the Trustees have the right to subscribe for as shareholders of the Company under the terms of the Company’s offer, then the Trustees shall first, on behalf of each requesting Trust Certificate holder, subscribe for that amount which, under the terms of the Company’s offer, he would have had the right to subscribe for if he had held directly the number of shares represented by his Trust Certificate or Certificates; and any balance of such stock or securities then additionally available for subscription by the Trustees shall be subscribed for on behalf of each additionally requesting Trust Certificate holder in the proportion which the amount of his additional request bears to the total amount of additional requests received by the Trustees.
Subscription for Units I hereby irrevocably subscribe for the amount of Units (and partial Units rounded to four decimal places) of Limited Partnership Interest (“Units”) of Warrington Fund L.P. (the “Partnership”) as indicated on page B-7 hereof. I understand that each Unit will be offered at Net Asset Value per Unit on the date of sale. I understand that Citigroup Global Markets Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York (“CGM”), and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“MSSB”), act as selling agents for the Partnership. I hereby authorize CGM to debit my brokerage account in the amount of my subscription as described in the Private Placement Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Document of the Partnership dated August 1, 2009, as amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Memorandum”).

Redemption Rights A. At any time after one year following the date of issuance of any OP Units to a Limited Partner, such Limited Partner shall have the right (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in any other such agreement, as applicable) to require the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the OP Units held by such Limited Partner (such OP Units being hereafter referred to as “Tendered Units”) in exchange for the Cash Amount (a “Redemption”); provided that the terms of such OP Units do not provide that such OP Units are not entitled to a right of Redemption. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or in a separate agreement entered into between the Partnership and the holders of such OP Units, all OP Units, including Class A OP Units and Class T OP Units, shall be entitled to a right of Redemption hereunder. The Tendering Partner shall have no right, with respect to any OP Units so redeemed, to receive any distributions paid on or after the Specified Redemption Date. Any Redemption shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the General Partner by the Limited Partner who is exercising the right (the “Tendering Partner”). The Cash Amount shall be payable to the Tendering Partner within ten (10) days of the Specified Redemption Date in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Notice of Redemption.
B. Notwithstanding Section 8.6A above, if a Limited Partner has delivered to the General Partner a Notice of Redemption then the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to the limitations on ownership and transfer of REIT Shares set forth in the Charter), elect to acquire some or all of the Tendered Units from the Tendering Partner in exchange for the REIT Shares Amount (as of the Specified Redemption Date) and, if the General Partner so elects, the Tendering Partner shall sell the Tendered Units to the General Partner in exchange for the REIT Shares Amount. In such event, the Tendering Partner shall have no right to cause the Partnership to redeem such Tendered Units. The General Partner shall promptly give such Tendering Partner written notice of its election, and the Tendering Partner may elect to withdraw its redemption request at any time prior to the acceptance of the cash or REIT Shares Amount by such Tendering Partner.
C. The REIT Shares Amount, if applicable, shall be delivered as duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable REIT Shares and, if applicable, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than those provided in the Charter, the Bylaws of the General Partner, the Securities Act, relevant state securities or blue sky laws and any applicable registration rights agreement with respect to such REIT Shares entered into by the Tendering Partner. Notwithstanding any delay in such delivery (but subject to Section 8.6E), the Tendering Partner shall be deemed the owner of such REIT Shares for all purposes, including without limitation, rights to vote or consent, and receive dividends, as of the Specified Redemption Date.
D. Each Limited Partner covenants and agrees with the General Partner that all Tendered Units shall be delivered to the General Partner free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances whatsoever and should any such liens, claims and/or encumbrances exist or arise with respect to such Tendered Units, the General Partner shall be under no obligation to acquire the same. Each Limited Partner further agrees that, in the event any state or local property transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its Tendered Units to the General Partner (or its designee), such Partner shall assume and pay such transfer tax.
E. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.6A, 8.6B, 8.6C or any other provision of this Agreement, a Limited Partner (i) shall not be entitled to effect a Redemption for cash or an exchange for REIT Shares to the extent the ownership or right to acquire REIT Shares pursuant to such exchange by such Partner on the Specified Redemption Date could cause such Partner or any other Person, or, in the opinion of counsel selected by the General Partner, may cause such Partner or any other Person, to violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer of REIT Shares set forth in the Charter and (ii) shall have no rights under this Agreement to acquire REIT Shares which would otherwise be prohibited under the Charter. To the extent any attempted Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares would be in violation of this Section 8.6E, it shall be null and void ab initio and such Partner shall not acquire any rights or economic interest in the cash otherwise payable upon such Redemption or the REIT Shares otherwise issuable upon such exchange.
F. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 8.6E), with respect to any Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares pursuant to this Section 8.6:
(1) All OP Units acquired by the General Partner pursuant thereto shall automatically, and without further action required, be converted into and deemed to be Limited Partner Interests comprised of the same number and class of OP Units.
(2) A Limited Partner may not effect a Redemption for less than one thousand (1,000) OP Units or, if such Partner holds less than one thousand (1,000) OP Units, such Partner may effect a Redemption only with respect to all OP Units held by such Partner.
(3) A Tendering Partner may not effect more than two (2) Redemptions in a single calendar year.
(4) Without the consent of the General Partner, a Limited Partner may not effect a Redemption during the period after the Partnership Record Date with respect to a distribution and before the record date established by the General Partner for a distribution to its stockholders of some or all of its portion of such distribution.
(5) The consummation of any Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares shall be subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, if any, under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.
(6) Each Tendering Partner shall continue to own all OP Units subject to any Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares, and be treated as a Partner with respect to such OP Units for all purposes of this Agreement, until such OP Units are transferred to the General Partner and paid for or exchanged on the Specified Redemption Date. Until a Specified Redemption Date, the Tendering Partner shall have no rights as a stockholder of the General Partner with respect to such Tendering Partner’s OP Units.
G. In the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests to any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Section 4.4B, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Section 8.6 as it determines are necessary to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests.
H. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner is authorized to take any action that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to cause the partnership to comply with any withholding requirements established under the Code or any other federal, state or local law that apply upon a Redemption or exchange of Tendered Units. If a Tendering Partner believes that it is exempt from withholding upon a Redemption or exchange of Tendered Units, such Partner must furnish the General Partner a FIRPTA certificate or other documentation requested by the General Partner is a form acceptable to the General Partner. If the Partnership or the General Partner is required to withhold and pay over to any taxing authority any amount upon a Redemption or exchange of Tendered Units and the Cash Amount or the REIT Shares Amount, as the case may be, equals or exceeds the amount of tax required to be withheld, the amount withheld shall be treated as an amount received by such Partner in redemption of its Tendered Units. If the Cash Amount or the REIT Shares Amount, as the case may be, is less than the amount of tax required to be withheld, the Tendering Partner shall not receive any Cash Amount or REIT Shares Amount, and the Tendering Partner shall contribute the excess of the amount of tax required to be withheld over the Cash Amount or REIT Shares Amount before such excess taxes are required to be paid to the taxing authority.
Subscription Rights, Preferences or Privileges If the Company shall at any time offer or cause to be offered to the persons in whose names deposited Preferred Stock is registered on the books of the Company any rights, preferences or privileges to subscribe for or to purchase any securities or any rights, preferences or privileges of any other nature, such rights, preferences or privileges shall in each such instance be made available by the Depositary to the record holders of Receipts in such manner as the Company shall instruct (including by the issue to such record holders of warrants representing such rights, preferences or privileges); provided, however, that (a) if at the time of issue or offer of any such rights, preferences or privileges the Company determines upon advice of its legal counsel that it is not lawful or feasible to make such rights, preferences or privileges available to the holders of Receipts (by the issue of warrants or otherwise) or (b) if and to the extent instructed by holders of Receipts who do not desire to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges, the Depositary shall then, if so directed by the Company and if applicable laws or the terms of such rights, preferences or privileges so permit, sell such rights, preferences or privileges of such holders at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper. The net proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.02, be distributed by the Depositary to the record holders of Receipts entitled thereto as provided by Section 4.01 in the case of a distribution received in cash. The Depositary shall not make any distribution of such rights, preferences or privileges, unless the Company shall have provided to the Depositary an opinion of counsel stating that such rights, preferences or privileges have been registered under the Securities Act or do not need to be registered. If registration under the Securities Act of the securities to which any rights, preferences or privileges relate is required in order for holders of Receipts to be offered or sold the securities to which such rights, preferences or privileges relate, the Company agrees that it will promptly notify the Depositary of such requirement, that it will promptly file a registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act with respect to such rights, preferences or privileges and securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts and take all steps available to it to cause such registration statement to become effective sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges. In no event shall the Depositary make available to the holders of Receipts any right, preference or privilege to subscribe for or to purchase any securities unless and until such a registration statement shall have become effective or unless the offering and sale of such securities to such holders are exempt from registration under the provisions of the Securities Act. If any other action under the law of any jurisdiction or any governmental or administrative authorization, consent or permit is required in order for such rights, preferences or privileges to be made available to holders of Receipts, the Company agrees that it will promptly notify the Depositary of such requirement and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such action or obtain such authorization, consent or permit sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges. The Depositary will not be deemed to have any knowledge of any item for which it is supposed to receive notification under any Section of this Deposit Agreement unless and until it has received such notification.
Exercise of Rights; Purchase Price (a) Subject to Section 7(e) hereof, the registered holder of any Rights Certificate may exercise the Rights evidenced thereby (except as otherwise provided herein including, without limitation, the restrictions on exercisability set forth in Section 9(c), Section 11(a)(iii) and Section 23(a) hereof) in whole or in part at any time after the Distribution Date upon surrender of the Rights Certificate, with the form of election to purchase and the certificate on the reverse side thereof duly completed and executed, to the Rights Agent at the principal office or offices of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose, together with payment of the aggregate Purchase Price with respect to the total number of Fractional Shares of Preferred Stock (or other securities, cash or other assets, as the case may be) as to which such surrendered Rights are then exercisable, at or prior to the Expiration Date.
(b) The Purchase Price for each Fractional Share of Preferred Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Right shall initially be $48.00, and shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Sections 11 and 13(a) hereof and shall be payable in accordance with paragraph (c) below.
(c) Upon receipt of a Rights Certificate representing exercisable Rights, with the form of election to purchase and the certificate on the reverse side thereof duly executed, accompanied by payment, with respect to each Right so exercised, of the Purchase Price per Fractional Share of Preferred Stock (or other shares, securities, cash or other assets, as the case may be) to be purchased as set forth below and an amount equal to any applicable transfer tax, the Rights Agent shall, subject to Section 20(k) hereof, thereupon promptly (i)
(A) requisition from any transfer agent of the shares of Preferred Stock (or make available, if the Rights Agent is the transfer agent for such shares) certificates for the total number of Fractional Shares of Preferred Stock to be purchased, and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes its transfer agent to comply with all such requests, or (B) if the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have elected to deposit the shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Rights hereunder with a depositary agent, requisition from the depositary agent depositary receipts representing interests in such number of Fractional Shares of Preferred Stock as are to be purchased (in which case certificates for the shares of Preferred Stock represented by such receipts shall be deposited by the transfer agent with the depositary agent) and the Company will direct the depositary agent to comply with such request, (ii) requisition from the Company the amount of cash, if any, to be paid in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 14 hereof, (iii) after receipt of such certificates or depositary receipts, cause the same to be delivered to or upon the order of the registered holder of such Rights Certificate, registered in such name or names as may be designated by such holder and (iv) after receipt thereof, deliver such cash, if any, to or upon the order of the registered holder of such Rights Certificate. The payment of the Purchase Price (as such amount may be reduced pursuant to Section 11(a)(iii) hereof) may be made in cash or by certified check, cashier's or official bank check or bank draft payable to the order of the Company or the Rights Agent. In the event that the Company is obligated to issue other securities (including Common Stock) of the Company, pay cash and/or distribute other property pursuant to Section 11(a) or Section 13(a) hereof, the Company will make all arrangements necessary so that such other securities, cash and/or other property are available for distribution by the Rights Agent, if and when appropriate. The Company reserves the right to require prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event that, upon exercise of Rights, a number of Rights be exercised so that only whole shares of Preferred Stock would be issued.
(d) In case the registered holder of any Rights Certificate shall exercise fewer than all the Rights evidenced thereby, a new Rights Certificate evidencing Rights equivalent to the Rights remaining unexercised shall be issued by the Rights Agent and delivered to, or upon the order of, the registered holder of such Rights Certificate, registered in such name or names as may be designated by such holder, subject to the provisions of Section 14 hereof.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the first occurrence of a Triggering Event, any Rights beneficially owned by or transferred to (i) an Acquiring Person or an Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring Person other than any such Person that became such pursuant to a Permitted Offer and the Board of Directors in good faith determines was not involved in and did not cause or facilitate, directly or indirectly, such Triggering Event, (ii) a direct or indirect transferee of such Rights from such Acquiring Person (or any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a transferee after such Triggering Event or (iii) a direct or indirect transferee of such Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a transferee prior to or concurrently with such Triggering Event and receives such Rights pursuant to either (A) a transfer (whether or not for consideration) from such Acquiring Person (or such Affiliate or Associate) to holders of equity interests in such Acquiring Person (or such Affiliate or Associate) or to any Person with whom such Acquiring Person (or such Affiliate or Associate) has any continuing agreement, arrangement or understanding regarding the transferred Rights or (B) a transfer that the Board of Directors of the Company determines is part of a plan, arrangement or understanding that has as a primary purpose or effect the avoidance of this Section 7(e), shall become null and void without any further action, no holder of such Rights shall have any rights whatsoever with respect to such Rights, whether under any provision of this Agreement or otherwise, and such Rights shall not be transferable. The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that the provisions of this Section 7(e) and Section 4(b) hereof are complied with, but shall have no liability to any holder of Rights Certificates or other Person as a result of its failure to make any determinations with respect to an Acquiring Person or its Affiliates, Associates or transferees hereunder.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated to undertake any action with respect to a registered holder upon the occurrence of any purported exercise as set forth in this Section 7 unless such registered holder shall have (i) completed and signed the certificate contained in the form of election to purchase set forth on the reverse side of the Rights Certificate surrendered for such exercise and (ii) provided such additional evidence of the identity of the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) or Affiliates or Associates thereof as the Company shall reasonably request.
Put Rights The Warrantholder shall have the following Put Rights:
(a) At the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the date hereof and (ii) a Change of Control, the Warrantholder may notify the Company in writing (the "PUT NOTICE") of the Warrantholder's desire to cause the Company to repurchase, in the case of clause (i) above, all (but not less than all) of the Warrant Shares (issued or represented by the Warrant) at a price per share equal to the Repurchase Price (the "Five-Year Put"), or, in the case of clause (ii) above, the Warrant at the Change of Control Repurchase Price (the "Change of Control Put").
(b) If the Company receives a Put Notice pursuant to Section 7(a), it shall deliver to the Warrantholder, by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed as soon as practicable and if possible within thirty (30) days of the receipt by the Company of the Put Notice, a notice stating: (i) the date as of which such repurchase shall occur (which date (the "Put Closing") shall be not less than ten (10) nor more than thirty (30) days following the date of such notice, but in any event prior to the Expiration Date); (ii) in the case of a Five-Year Put, the number of Warrant Shares (issued or represented by this Warrant) to be purchased from the Warrantholder and the Repurchase Price (which shall be calculated as of the date of the Put Notice) or, in the case of a Change of Control Put, the Change of Control Repurchase Price; and (iii) the place or places where certificate or certificates representing this Warrant or Warrant Shares are to be surrendered for payment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall have no obligation to send the notice set forth above or to repurchase the Warrants and Warrant Shares following the exercise of the Five Year Put (and the provisions of paragraph (c) below shall not be applicable to any failure by the Company to repurchase the Warrants and the Warrant Shares following the exercise of the Five Year Put), unless the holders of not less than a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the Investor Warrants (the "Investor Warrant Shares") shall also have exercised the "five year put" provided for in the Investor Warrants.
(c) With respect to Warrants and Warrant Shares properly tendered for repurchase, if the Company fails to pay the Repurchase Price or the Change of Control Repurchase Price on the date fixed for repurchase, the Corporation shall also pay interest thereon at the rate of 12% per annum, compounded on a quarterly basis, until such time as such satisfaction shall have occurred.
(d) At the Put Closing, the Warrantholder shall deliver to the Company the certificate or certificates representing the Warrantholder's Warrant or Warrant Shares and the Company shall deliver to the Warrantholder an amount equal to, in the case of a Five-Year Put, the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of such Warrant Shares (issued or represented by this Warrant) by (ii) the Repurchase Price or, in the case of a Change of Control Put, the Change of Control Repurchase Price, by cashier's or certified check payable to the Warrantholder or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Warrantholder.
(e) The Company shall not (and shall not permit any Affiliate of the Company to) enter into any contract or other consensual arrangement that by its terms restricts the Company's ability to honor the Put.
Option Rights Except as provided below, the Option shall be valid for a term commencing on the Grant Date and ending 10 years after the Grant Date (the "EXPIRATION DATE").
Subscription Price Each Warrant is exercisable at a price per share (the “Exercise Price”) of US$1.00. One
(1) Warrant and the Exercise Price are required to subscribe for each share during the term of the Warrants.
Purchase of Shares of Common Stock (a) Each Purchase Contract shall, unless an Early Settlement has occurred in accordance with Section 5.9, or a Merger Early Settlement has occurred in accordance with Section 5.10, obligate the Holder of the related Unit to purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Stock Purchase Date at a price equal to $50 (the "Purchase Price"), a number of newly issued shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate unless, on or prior to the Stock Purchase Date, there shall have occurred a Termination Event with respect to the Unit of which such Purchase Contract is a part. The "Settlement Rate" is equal to,
(i) if the Applicable Market Value (as defined below) is greater than or equal to $21.08 (the "Threshold Appreciation Price"), 2.3719 shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract,
(ii) if the Applicable Market Value is less than the Threshold Appreciation Price, but is greater than $17.28, the number of shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract equal to the Stated Amount of the related Unit divided by the Applicable Market Value, and
(iii) if the Applicable Market Value is equal to or less than $17.28, 2.8935 shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract, in each case subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.6 (and in each case rounded upward or downward to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share). As provided in Section 5.12, no fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon settlement of Purchase Contracts.
(b) No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued by the Company with respect to the payment of Contract Adjustment Payments on the Stock Purchase Date. In lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable with respect to such payment of Contract Adjustment Payments, the Holder will be entitled to receive an amount in cash as provided in Section 5.12.
