Conversion of Securities At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:
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.
Conversion of Securities in the Merger At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:
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.
Cancellation of Securities All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking or analogous fund, if surrendered to the Issuer or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it; and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of cancelled Securities held by it in accordance with its procedures for the disposition of cancelled Securities and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Issuer upon request. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Registration of Securities and Physical Separation All Securities held for a Portfolio which are issued or issuable only in bearer form, except such Securities as are held in the Book-Entry System, shall be held by the Custodian or a Sub-Custodian in that form; all other Securities held for a Portfolio may be registered in the name of that Portfolio, in the name of any duly appointed registered nominee of the Custodian or a Sub-Custodian as the Custodian or such Sub-Custodian may from time to time determine, or in the name of the Book-Entry System or a Depository or their successor or successors, or their nominee or nominees. The Fund reserves the right to instruct the Custodian as to the method of registration and safekeeping of the Securities. The Fund agrees to furnish to the Custodian appropriate instruments to enable the Custodian or any Sub-Custodian to hold or deliver in proper form for transfer, or to register in the name of its registered nominee or in the name of the Book-Entry System or a Depository, any Securities which the Custodian of a Sub-Custodian may hold for the account of a Portfolio and which may from time to time be registered in the name of a Portfolio. The Custodian shall hold all such Securities specifically allocated to a Portfolio which are not held in the Book-Entry System or a Depository in a separate account for such Portfolio in the name of such Portfolio physically segregated at all times from those of any other person or persons.
