Issuance of Convertible Securities If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Market Price on the date of issuance, then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities will, as of the date of the issuance of such Convertible Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange" is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
Early Redemption and Exercise of Options 10.01 If the Issuer intends (other than consequent upon an Issuer Event of Default) to redeem all or any of the Covered Bonds prior to their stated maturity date or to exercise any other option under the Conditions, it shall, not less than 14 days prior to the latest date for the publication of the notice of redemption or of exercise of the Issuer’s option required to be given to the Holders of any Covered Bonds, give written notice of such intention to the Bond Trustee and the Issuing and Paying Agent or, in the case of Registered Covered Bonds, the Registrar (copied to the Issuing and Paying Agent) stating the date on which such Covered Bonds are to be redeemed or such option is to be exercised.
10.02 In respect of any Covered Bonds to which Condition 6.07 applies or which carries any other right of redemption or other right exercisable at the option of the Holders of such Covered Bonds, the Issuer will provide the Paying Agents or, in the case of Registered Covered Bonds, the Registrar with copies of the form of the current redemption notice or exercise notice and the Paying Agents or, as the case may be, the Registrar will make available forms of the current redemption notice or exercise notice to Holders of Covered Bonds upon request during usual business hours at their respective specified offices. Upon receipt of any Covered Bond deposited in the exercise of such option, the Paying Agent or, in the case of Registered Covered Bonds, the Registrar with which such Covered Bond is deposited shall hold such Covered Bond (together with, in the case of a Definitive Covered Bond, any Receipts and/or Coupons relating to it deposited with it) on behalf of the depositing Holder of such Covered Bond (but shall not, save as provided below, release it) until the due date for redemption of the relevant Covered Bond consequent upon the exercise of such option, or, as the case may be, the date upon which the exercise of such option takes effect when, in the case of redemption and subject as provided below, it shall present such Covered Bond (and any such Receipts and/or Coupons) to itself for payment in accordance with the Conditions and shall pay such moneys in accordance with the directions of the Holder of the Covered Bond contained in the relevant redemption notice. In the case of an exercise of any other option, the relevant Paying Agent or, in the case of Registered Covered Bonds, the Registrar, shall take such steps as may be required to be taken by it in the Conditions. If, prior to such due date for its redemption or the date upon which the exercise of such option takes effect, an Event of Default occurs in respect of such Covered Bond or if upon due presentation payment of such redemption moneys is improperly withheld or refused, the Paying Agent concerned or, as the case may be, the Registrar shall, without prejudice to the exercise of such option, mail such Covered Bond (together with any such Receipts and/or Coupons) by uninsured post to, and at the risk of, the Holder of the relevant Covered Bond at such address as may have been given by such Holder in the relevant redemption notice.
10.03 At the end of any applicable period for the exercise of such option or, as the case may be, not later than 7 days after the latest date for the exercise of such option, in relation to Bearer Covered Bonds each Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Issuing and Paying Agent of the principal amount of the Covered Bonds in respect of which such option has been exercised with it together with their serial numbers and the Issuing and Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer, the Guarantor LP and the Bond Trustee of such details and, in the case of a Global Covered Bond that is a NGCB, shall instruct the ICSDs to make appropriate entries in their records to reflect the exercise of such option and otherwise shall comply with the provisions set out in the Fifth Schedule.
10.04 At the end of any applicable period for the exercise of such option or, as the case may be, not later than 7 days after the latest date for the exercise of such option, in relation to Registered Covered Bonds, the Registrar shall promptly notify the Issuer, the Guarantor LP and the Bond Trustee of the principal amount of the Covered Bonds in respect of which such option has been exercised together with their serial numbers and in the case of a Registered Global Covered Bond held under the NSS, the European Registrar shall instruct the ICSDs to make appropriate entries in their records to reflect the exercise of such option and otherwise shall comply with the provisions set out in the Fifth Schedule.
Conversion Privilege and Conversion Price Securities of any series which are convertible shall be convertible in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article Seventeen. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article Seventeen, at any time during the period specified in the Securities, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Security or any portion of the principal amount thereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 may be converted at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion thereof, into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100 of a share) of Common Stock of the Company, at the Conversion Price, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion. In case a Security or portion thereof is called for redemption, such conversion right in respect of the Security or portion so called shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption, in which case such conversion right shall terminate on the date such default is cured. The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (herein called the "Conversion Price") of Securities of any series shall be specified in such Securities. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in Section 1704. In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, declare or make a distribution on its Common Stock referred to in paragraph (4) of Section 1704, the Holder of each Security, upon the conversion thereof pursuant to this Article Seventeen subsequent to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution and prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price adjustment in respect of such distribution pursuant to paragraph (4) of Section 1704, shall be entitled to receive for each share of Common Stock into which such Security is converted, the portion of the evidence of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock or assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, at the election of the Company (whose election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) with respect to all Holders so converting, the Company may, in lieu of distributing to such Holder any portion of such distribution not consisting of cash or securities of the Company, pay such Holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value thereof (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee). If any conversion of a Security entitled to the benefits described in the immediately preceding sentence occurs prior to the payment date for a distribution to holders of Common Stock which the Holder of the Security so converted is entitled to receive in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Company may elect (such election to be evidenced by a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) to distribute to such Holder a due bill xxx the evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock or assets to which such Holder is so entitled, provided that such due bill (x) meets any applicable requirements of the principal national securities exchange or other market on which the Common Stock is then traded, and (ii) requires payment or delivery of such evidences of indebtedness or assets no later than the date of payment or delivery thereof to holders of Common Stock receiving such distribution.
Purchase of Convertible Debentures Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Buyer agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase at Closing (as defined herein below) and the Company agrees to sell and issue to each Buyer, severally and not jointly, at Closing, Convertible Debentures in amounts corresponding with the Subscription Amount set forth opposite each Buyer's name on Schedule I hereto. Upon execution hereof by a Buyer, the Buyer shall wire transfer the Subscription Amount set forth opposite his name on Schedule I in same-day funds or a check payable to "First Union National Bank, as Escrow Agent for Vertical Computer Systems, Inc. / Cornell Capital Partners, LP", which Subscription Amount shall be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and disbursed in accordance therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Buyer may withdraw his Subscription Amount and terminate this Agreement as to such Buyer at any time after the execution hereof and prior to Closing (as hereinafter defined).
TAKING OF RECORD; STOCK AND WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4 refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in each such case take such a record and will take such record as of the close of business on a Business Day. The Company will not at any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, close its stock transfer books or Warrant transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant.
Conversion of Debentures Section 16.01.
Certain Conversion Restrictions (A) A Holder may not convert this Debenture or receive shares of Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder to the extent such conversion or receipt of such interest payment would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of, and payment of interest on, this Debenture held by such Holder after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Obligor the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.9% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of this Debenture that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Obligor shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with the periods described in Section 3(a)(i)(A) and, at the option of the Holder, either retain any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or return such excess principal amount to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Obligor. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.
Issuance of Conversion Shares The Conversion Shares are duly authorized and reserved for issuance and, upon conversion of the Note in accordance with its terms, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Company and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.
Purchase and Redemption of Fund Shares 1.1 The Fund and the Underwriter agree to sell to the Company those shares of the Portfolios which the Company orders on behalf of any Separate Account, executing such orders on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt and acceptance by the Fund or its designee of such order. For purposes of this Section, the Company shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of such orders from each Separate Account. Receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that the Fund or the Underwriter receives notice of such order via the National Securities Clearing Corporation (the "NSCC") by 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the next following Business Day. The Fund will receive all orders to purchase Portfolio shares using the NSCC's Defined Contribution Clearance & Settlement ("DCC&S") platform. The Fund will also provide the Company with account positions and activity data using the NSCC's Networking platform. The Company shall pay for Portfolio shares by the scheduled close of federal funds transmissions on the same Business Day it places an order to purchase Portfolio shares in accordance with this section using the NSCC's Fund/SERV System. Payment shall be in federal funds transmitted by wire from the Fund's designated Settling Bank to the NSCC. "BUSINESS DAY" shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates it net asset value pursuant to the rules of the SEC. "NETWORKING" shall mean the NSCC's product that allows Fund's and Companies to exchange account level information electronically. "SETTLING BANK" shall mean the entity appointed by the Fund to perform such settlement services on behalf of the Fund and agrees to abide by the NSCC's Rules and Procedures insofar as they relate to the same day funds settlement. If the Company is somehow prohibited from submitting purchase and settlement instructions to the Fund for Portfolio shares via the NSCC's DCC&S platform the following shall apply to this Section:
Convertible Notes The Convertible Notes are subject to different conversion calculations depending on the event triggering conversion as described in the Notes (e.g., an IPO or other liquidity event). For illustration purposes, assuming the optional conversion right is exercised today, based on the current capitalization and the $50,000,000 assumed valuation specified for an optional conversion in the Notes, there would be 4,705,224 additional shares issued; provided however, that each holder of Notes is subject to a maximum 9.99% ownership of the shares of capital stock of the Company at any one time. This illustration calculation does not account for the 6% interest component.
