Elective Distributions in Cash or Shares Whenever the Company intends to distribute a dividend payable at the election of the holders of Shares in cash or in additional Shares, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Depositary at least 30 days prior to the proposed distribution stating whether or not it wishes such elective distribution to be made available to Holders of ADSs. Upon receipt of notice indicating that the Company wishes such elective distribution to be made available to Holders of ADSs, the Depositary shall consult with the Company to determine, and the Company shall assist the Depositary in its determination, whether it is lawful and reasonably practicable to make such elective distribution available to the Holders of ADSs. The Depositary shall make such elective distribution available to Holders only if (i) the Company shall have timely requested that the elective distribution is available to Holders of ADRs, (ii) the Depositary shall have received satisfactory documentation within the terms of Section 5.7 hereof (including, without limitation, any legal opinions of counsel in any applicable jurisdiction that the Depositary in its reasonable discretion may request, at the expense of the Company) and (iii) the Depositary shall have determined that such distribution is lawful and reasonably practicable. If the above conditions are not satisfied, the Depositary shall, to the extent permitted by law, distribute to the Holders, on the basis of the same determination as is made in the local market in respect of the Shares for which no election is made, either cash upon the terms described in Section 4.1 hereof or additional ADSs representing such additional Shares upon the terms described in Section 4.2 hereof. If the above conditions are satisfied, the Depositary shall establish an ADS Record Date (on the terms described in Section 4.7 hereof) and establish procedures to enable Holders to elect the receipt of the proposed dividend in cash or in additional ADSs. The Company shall assist the Depositary in establishing such procedures to the extent necessary. Subject to Section 5.9 hereof, if a Holder elects to receive the proposed dividend in cash, the dividend shall be distributed upon the terms described in Section 4.1 hereof or in ADSs, the dividend shall be distributed upon the terms described in Section 4.2 hereof. Nothing herein shall obligate the Depositary to make available to Holders a method to receive the elective dividend in Shares (rather than ADSs). There can be no assurance that Holders generally, or any Holder in particular, will be given the opportunity to receive elective distributions on the same terms and conditions as the holders of Shares.
Distributions in Kind Except as expressly provided herein, no right is given to any Partner to demand and receive property other than cash. The General Partner may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make a distribution in-kind to the Partners of Partnership assets, and such assets shall be distributed in such a fashion as to ensure that the fair market value is distributed and allocated in accordance with Articles 5, 6 and 10.
Distributions in General (a) Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Series Supplement, on each Quarterly Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Noteholders of each Series of record on the preceding Record Date the amounts payable thereto (i) by wire transfer in immediately available funds released by the Paying Agent from the applicable Series Distribution Account no later than 12:30 p.m. (New York City time) if a Noteholder has provided to the Paying Agent and the Trustee wiring instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Quarterly Payment Date or (ii) by check mailed first-class postage prepaid to such Noteholder at the address for such Noteholder appearing in the Note Register if such Noteholder has not provided wire instructions pursuant to clause (i) above; provided that the final principal payment due on a Note shall only be paid upon due presentment and surrender of such Note for cancellation in accordance with the provisions of the Note at the applicable Corporate Trust Office.
(b) All Notes issued under the Indenture that are part of a Class with an alphanumerical designation that contains the letter “A”, together with any Subclasses or Tranches thereof, will be classified as “Class A Notes” or “Senior Notes” for all purposes under the Indenture. All Notes, if any, issued under the Indenture that are part of a Class with an alphanumerical designation that contains the letter “B” through “L”, together with any Subclasses or Tranches thereof, will be classified as “Senior Subordinated Notes” for all purposes under the Indenture. All Notes, if any, issued under the Indenture that are part of a Class with an alphanumerical designation that contains the letter “M” through “Z”, together with any Subclasses or Tranches thereof, will be classified as “Subordinated Notes” for all purposes under the Indenture. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Series Supplement, in this Base Indenture or in any applicable Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement, payments of interest, principal (when due) and other amounts (when due) to Noteholders of all Classes within a Series of Notes shall be made from amounts allocated in accordance with the Priority of Payments among each Class of Notes in alphanumerical order (i.e., X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0 and not X-0, X-0, X-0, B-2) and pro rata among Holders of Notes within each Class of the same alphanumerical designation according to the amount then due and payable; provided, however, that any roman-numeral-denominated Tranche within an alphanumerical Class of Notes shall be deemed to have the same alphanumerical priority (i.e., “Class A-2-I Notes” will be pari passu and pro rata in right of payment according to the amount then due and payable with respect to “Class A-2-II Notes” and “Class-A-2-III Notes”) except to the extent otherwise specified in the Base Indenture, the related Series Supplement or in the related Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement, including in connection with an Optional Prepayment in whole or in party of one or more Tranches within such alphanumerical Class of Notes ahead of the remaining Tranches; provided, further, that, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Series Supplement, in this Base Indenture or in any applicable Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement, all distributions to Noteholders of all Classes within a Series of Notes having the same alphabetical designation (without giving effect to any numerical designation) shall be pari passu and pro rata according to the amount then due and payable with each other with respect to the distribution of Collateral proceeds resulting from the exercise of remedies upon an Event of Default.
(c) Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Series Supplement, the Trustee shall distribute all amounts owed to the Noteholders of any Class of Notes pursuant to the instructions of the Issuer whether set forth in a Quarterly Noteholders’ Report, Company Order or otherwise.
Allocation of Contributions You may place your contributions in one fund or in any combination of funds, although your employer may place restrictions on investment in certain funds.
Capital Contributions and Capital Accounts (a) The capital contributions of each party shall be all amounts paid by it pursuant to the Agreement. With respect to each oil and gas property and the related assets subject to the Agreement, each party shall be treated as having contributed to the tax partnership an amount of cash equal to such party's share of any Lease acquisition or other property costs and the tax partnership shall be treated as having purchased such property from the party to whom such amounts are paid.
(b) An individual capital account shall be maintained for each party in accordance with the following:
(i) The capital account of each party shall, except as otherwise provided herein, be (A) credited by the amount of cash and fair market value of any property contributed to the tax partnership (net of any liabilities assumed by the parties hereto or to which such property is subject at the time of contribution) as provided in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph 4, and (B) credited with the amount of any item of taxable income or gain and the amount of any item of income or gain exempt from tax allocated to such party.
(ii) The capital account of each party shall be debited by (A) the amount of any item of tax deduction or loss allocated to such party, (B) such party's allocable share of expenditures not deductible in computing taxable income and not properly chargeable as capital expenditures, including any non-deductible book amortizations of capitalized costs, and (C) the amount of cash or the fair market value of any property (net of any liabilities assumed by such party or to which such property is subject at the time of distribution) distributed to such party (after making the adjustment provided in subparagraph (b)(iii) in this paragraph 4).
(iii) Immediately prior to any distribution of property that is not pursuant to a liquidation of the tax partnership, the parties' capital accounts shall be adjusted by assuming that the distributed assets were sold for cash at their respective fair market values as of the date of distribution and crediting or debiting each party's capital account with its respective share of the hypothetical gains or losses resulting from such assumed sales determined in the same manner as gains or losses provided for under paragraphs 4(b)(iv) and 6 for actual sales of such properties.
(iv) The allocation of basis prescribed by Section 613A(c)(7)(D) of the Code and provided for in paragraph 6 hereinbelow and each party's depletion deductions shall not reduce such party's capital account, but such party's capital account shall be decreased by an amount equal to the product of (A) the depletion deductions that would otherwise be allocable to the tax partnership in the absence of Section 613A(c)(7)(D) of the Code (computed without regard to any limitations which theoretically could apply to any party) and (B) such party's percentage share of the adjusted basis of the property with respect to which such depletion is claimed (herein called "Simulated Depletion"). The tax partnership's basis in any oil or gas property, as adjusted from time to time for Simulated Depletion, is herein called "Simulated Basis." No party's capital account shall be decreased, however, by Simulated Depletion deductions attributable to any depletable property to the extent such deductions exceed such party's remaining Simulated Basis in such property. Upon the sale or other disposition of an interest in a depletable property, each party's capital account shall be credited with the gain ("Simulated Gain") or debited with the loss ("Simulated Loss") determined by subtracting from its allocable share of the amount realized on such sale or disposition its Simulated Basis, as adjusted by Simulated Depletion.
(v) Any adjustments of basis of property provided for under Sections 734 and 743 of the Code and comparable provisions of state law (resulting from an election under Section 754 of the Code or comparable provisions of state law) shall not affect the capital accounts of the parties, and the parties' capital accounts shall be debited or credited as if no such election had been made unless otherwise required by applicable Treasury Regulations.
(vi) Capital accounts shall be adjusted, in a manner consistent with subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4, to reflect any adjustments in items of income, gain, loss or deduction that result from amended returns filed by the tax partnership or pursuant to an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service or a final court decision.
(vii) In the case of property contributed to the tax partnership by a party, the parties' capital accounts shall be debited or credited for items of depreciation, Simulated Depletion, amortization and gain or loss with respect to such property computed in the same manner as such items would be computed if the adjusted tax basis of such property were equal to its fair market value on the date of its contribution to the tax partnership, in lieu of the capital account adjustments provided above for such items, all in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulation 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).
Distributions; Investments Directly or indirectly acquire or own any Person, or make any Investment in any Person, other than Permitted Investments, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do so. Pay any dividends or make any distribution or payment or redeem, retire or purchase any capital stock.
Capital Contributions Distributions 17 TABLE OF CONTENTS (continued)
Capital Contributions and Distributions The Member may make such capital contributions (each a “Capital Contribution”) in such amounts and at such times as the Member shall determine. The Member shall not be obligated to make any Capital Contributions. The Member may take distributions of the capital from time to time in accordance with the limitations imposed by the Statutes.
Contributions to Capital (a) The minimum initial Capital Contribution of each Limited Partner will be $100,000 or such other amount as the General Partner determines from time to time. The amount of the initial Capital Contribution of each Partner will be recorded by the Partnership upon acceptance as a contribution to the capital of the Partnership. Each Limited Partner’s entire initial Capital Contribution will be paid to the Partnership immediately prior to the Partnership’s acceptance of the Limited Partner’s subscription for Units, unless otherwise agreed by the Partnership and such Limited Partner.
(b) The Limited Partners may make additional Capital Contributions effective as of those times and in amounts as the General Partner may permit, but no Limited Partner will be obligated to make any additional Capital Contribution except to the extent provided in Sections 5.4 and 5.5 of this Agreement. Each additional Capital Contribution made by a Limited Partner (other than a contribution made pursuant to Section 5.3 or Section 5.5 of this Agreement) will be in the minimum amount of $25,000 or such other amount as the General Partner determines from time to time.
(c) A General Partner may make additional Capital Contributions effective as of those times and in such amounts as it determines, and will be required to make additional Capital Contributions from time to time to the extent necessary to maintain the balance of its Capital Account at an amount, if any, necessary to ensure that the Partnership will be treated as a Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Except as provided in this Section 5.1 or in the Delaware Act, no General Partner will be required or obligated to make any additional contributions to the capital of the Partnership.
(d) Subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, and except as otherwise permitted by the General Partner, (1) initial and any additional Capital Contributions by any Partner will be payable in cash or in Securities that the General Partner, in its absolute discretion, causes the Partnership to accept, and (2) initial and any additional Capital Contributions in cash will be payable in readily available funds at the date of the proposed acceptance of the contribution. The Partnership will charge each Partner making a Capital Contribution in Securities to the capital of the Partnership an amount as may be determined by the General Partner to reimburse the Partnership for any costs incurred by the Partnership by reason of accepting the Securities, and any charge will be due and payable by the contributing Partner in full at the time the Capital Contribution to which the charges relate is due. The value of contributed Securities will be determined in accordance with Section 7.3 of this Agreement as of the date of contribution.
(e) An Advisor may make Capital Contributions and own Units in the Partnership and, in so doing, will become a Limited Partner with respect to the contributions.
(f) The minimum initial and additional contributions set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.1 may be increased or reduced by the General Partner from time to time. Reductions may be applied to all investors, individual investors or to classes of investors, in each case in the sole discretion of the General Partner.
