Treatment of Securities The Company will treat the Securities as indebtedness, and the amounts, other than payments of principal, payable in respect of the principal amount of such Securities as interest, for all U.S. federal income tax purposes. All payments in respect of the Securities will be made free and clear of U.S. withholding tax to any beneficial owner thereof that has provided an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8BEN (or any substitute or successor form) establishing its U.S. or non-U.S. status for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or any other applicable form establishing a complete exemption from U.S. withholding tax.
Replacement of Securities If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
Payment of Securities 30 SECTION 4.02.
Treatment of Securities as Debt It is intended that the Securities will be treated as indebtedness and not as equity for federal income tax purposes. The provisions of this Indenture shall be interpreted to further this intention.
Status of Securities As a result of the approval by the Board referred to in Section 3.03(a), the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement, and the shares of Company Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance by all necessary action. When issued and sold against receipt of the consideration therefor as provided in this Agreement or the Statement With Respect to Shares, such securities shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable (whether or not the Subsequent Closing occurs), will not be subject to preemptive rights of any other stockholder of the Company, and will be free and clear of all Liens, except restrictions imposed by the Securities Act, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, Section 5.08 of this Agreement and any applicable state securities Laws and any Liens arising due to actions by or on behalf of the Investor, including Liens contemplated by the Issuer Agreement. Upon any conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Company Common Stock pursuant to the Statement With Respect to Shares, the shares of Company Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will not be subject to preemptive rights of any other stockholder of the Company, and will be free and clear of all liens, except restrictions imposed by the Securities Act, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, Section 5.08 of this Agreement and any applicable state securities Laws and any Liens arising due to actions by or on behalf of the Investor, including Liens contemplated by the Issuer Agreement. The respective rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Company Common Stock as of the Initial Closing and Subsequent Closing, as applicable, will be as stated in the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company (including the Statement With Respect to Shares).
Without Consent of Securityholders The Company and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time amend the Indenture, without the consent of the Securityholders, for one or more of the following purposes:
Authorization of Securities The Securities to be sold by the Company under this Agreement have been duly authorized for issuance and sale to the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement and, when issued and delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement against payment of the consideration set forth herein, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; no holder of the Securities is or will be subject to personal liability by reason of being such a holder; and the issuance and sale of the Securities to be sold by the Company under this Agreement are not subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Company or any other person.
Release of Securities (a) The Custodian shall release and deliver, or direct its agents or sub-custodian to release and deliver, as the case may be, Securities or Required Documents of the Company held by the Custodian, its agents or its sub-custodian from time to time upon receipt of Proper Instructions (which shall, among other things, specify the Securities or Required Documents to be released, with such delivery and other information as may be necessary to enable the Custodian to perform), which may be standing instructions (in form acceptable to the Custodian), in the following cases:
Repayment of Securities Securities of any series subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holders thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the terms of such Securities, be repaid at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with interest (if any) thereon accrued to the Repayment Date specified in or pursuant to the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants that, with respect to such Securities, on or before the Repayment Date it will deposit with a Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 3.12(b), 3.12(d) and 3.12(e)) sufficient to pay the principal (or, if so provided by the terms of the Securities of any series, a percentage of the principal) of and (except if the Repayment Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest (if any) on, all the Securities or portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date.
Execution of Securities The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Issuer by the chairman of the Board of Directors, the president, any vice president or the treasurer of the Issuer, under its corporate seal which may, but need not, be attested by its secretary or one of its assistant secretaries. Such signatures may be the manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such officers. The seal of the Issuer may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of the seal or any such signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Security that has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. In case any officer of the Issuer who shall have signed any of the Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Security so signed shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Issuer, such Security nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Security had not ceased to be such officer of the Issuer; and any Security may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Security, shall be the proper officers of the Issuer, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture any such person was not such an officer.
