Optional Exchange (a) The terms and conditions, if any, of an Optional Exchange will be specified in the related Supplement; provided, however, that any right of Optional Exchange shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Depositor provides upon the Trustee's request an Opinion of Counsel that (i) such exchange would not be inconsistent with continued satisfaction of the applicable requirements for exemption under Rule 3a-7 (or other applicable rule or exemption) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and all applicable rules, regulations and interpretations thereunder and (ii) such exchange would not affect the characterization of the Trust as a "grantor trust" under the Code. The terms of an Optional Exchange may include, but are not limited to, the following:
(i) a requirement that the exchanging Holder tender to the Trustee Certificates of each Class within such Series;
(ii) a minimum Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, with respect to Certificates being tendered for exchange by a single Holder;
(iii) a requirement that the Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, of each Certificate tendered for exchange be an Authorized Denomination;
(iv) specified dates on which a Holder may effect such an Optional Exchange (each, an "Optional Exchange Date"), as specified in the applicable Supplement;
(v) limitations on the right of an exchanging Holder to receive any benefit upon Optional Exchange from any Credit Support; and
(vi) adjustments to the value of the proceeds of any Optional Exchange based upon required prepayment of future expense allocations and the establishment of a reserve for any unanticipated Extraordinary Trust Expenses.
(b) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Supplement, no Certificate may be exchanged pursuant to this Section 4.07 unless the Trustee has received at least 30 days (or such shorter period acceptable to the Trustee or specified in the applicable Supplement) but not more than 45 days prior to an Optional Exchange Date a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., the Depository (in accordance with its normal procedures) or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the Holder, the Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount of such Registered Certificate to be exchanged and the number or a description of the tenor and the terms of such Certificate, a statement that the Optional Exchange is being exercised thereby and an assurance that the Registered Certificate to be exchanged with the form entitled "Option to Elect Exchange" on the reverse of the Registered Certificate duly completed will be received by such Trustee not later than five Business Days after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter, and such Certificate and form duly completed must be received by such Trustee by such fifth Business Day. Any tender by the Holder thereof for Optional Exchange shall be irrevocable. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Supplement, the Optional Exchange option may be exercised pursuant to this Section 4.07 by the Holder of a Certificate for less than the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount of such Certificate as long as the Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount remaining Outstanding after such Optional Exchange is an Authorized Denomination and all other requirements set forth in the related Supplement are satisfied. Upon such partial exchange, such Certificate shall be cancelled and a new Certificate or Certificates for the remaining Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount thereof shall be issued (which shall be in the name of the Holder of such exchanged Certificate).
(c) Upon the completion of any such Optional Exchange, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to each Rating Agency.
Shift Exchange The Employer and the Union agree that shift exchanges are a useful process to allow employees more flexibility and improved work/life balance. Employees within an institution who have the same job classification will be allowed to exchange full shifts for positions in which they are qualified. The shift exchange process will not be used to circumvent the bid system or the supervisory chain of command. Shift exchanges will be in accordance with the following:
A. Request for shift exchanges will be submitted seven (7) calendar days in advance of the exchange, when practicable.
B. Requests for shift exchanges will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The requested shift exchange is voluntary, and is agreed to in writing by both employees, and approved in writing by the supervisor(s). Requests for shift exchanges will be submitted to the appropriate Appointing Authority or designee for approval.
X. Xxxxx exchanges may be denied. If denied, the employee will be provided the reason(s) in writing.
D. Employees will not submit requests for shift exchanges which would result in overtime. Each employee will be considered to have worked their regular schedule.
E. For shift exchanges that occur on an employee’s designated holiday, the employee who is regularly scheduled to work on that holiday will receive the holiday compensation, regardless of who physically worked on that day.
F. The failure of an employee who has exchanged shifts to work the agreed upon shift without appropriate cause may be a basis for disciplinary action.
The Exchange (a) The Company agrees, promptly upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2 below, to repay the Subordinated Notes by delivering to the Note Holders the following (the “Exchange Consideration”):
(i) a number of shares of Preferred Stock having an aggregate liquidation preference equal to $12.8 million (the “Exchange Preferred Shares”); and
(ii) a number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value (as defined below), rounded to the nearest whole number of shares, equal to (x) the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Notes on the date of closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing Date”), plus (y) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Subordinated Notes on the Closing Date, minus (z) $12.8 million (the “Exchange Common Shares” and, together with the Exchange Preferred Shares, the “Exchange Shares”).
(b) The Note Holders agree to accept the Exchange Consideration as full repayment of all amounts outstanding on the Subordinated Notes. Upon the payment of the Exchange Consideration, the Note Holders will xxxx the Subordinated Notes “Paid in Full” and surrender the Subordinated Notes to the Company. Furthermore, upon the payment of the Exchange Consideration, any security interest held by the Note Holders to secure the repayment of the Subordinated Notes will automatically be released, and the Note Holders hereby irrevocably designate the Company as their attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing and filing any UCC-3 termination statements in connection with such release.
(c) Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to modify or amend the terms of the Subordinated Notes, and, until the Subordinated Notes have been repaid in full in accordance with Section 1(a), the Company will, subject to any applicable subordination provisions, continue to comply with its obligations under the Subordinated Notes in accordance with its terms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to any applicable subordination provisions, the Company will continue to pay interest on the Subordinated Notes and will make any mandatory prepayments required to be made under the terms of the Subordinated Notes.
(d) The Exchange Consideration to be delivered to the Note Holders will be allocated between the Note Holders in proportion to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Subordinated Notes held by such Note Holders. At the Closing, the Company will deliver the Exchange Consideration to the Note Holders, free and clear of any liens or security interests.
(e) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Fair Market Value” of one share of Common Stock is equal to the volume weighted average price per share of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market during the last ten trading days immediately preceding the Effective Date.
(f) For the avoidance of doubt, neither of the Note Holders will be entitled to receive any of the Exchange Shares or any beneficial ownership thereof at any time until all of the conditions set forth in Section 2 have been satisfied or waived by the applicable Party.
(g) The Exchange Preferred Shares will have rights and preferences substantially similar to the rights and preferences set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. The Company may, but is not required to, issue additional shares of preferred stock of the same preferred stock series as the Exchange Preferred Shares in one or more public offerings or private placements. In connection with the first such offering for cash of the same series of preferred stock as the Exchange Preferred Shares to occur after the date hereof, the Company will modify (without being required to obtain the consent of the holders of the Exchange Preferred Shares) the provisions of the Exchange Preferred Shares to be appropriate for that type of offering, and the holders of the Exchange Preferred Shares will be entitled to comparable and proportionate rights, together with the subsequent purchasers of such new shares in such offering. There is no assurance that any additional shares of preferred stock (or any Public Preferred Stock, as defined below) will be issued or that a trading market will develop for such shares. Furthermore, there is no assurance that shares of preferred stock issued by the Company in a different series of preferred stock will have rights and preferences similar to the Exchange Preferred Shares. Depending upon market conditions and other factors at the time that any shares of Public Preferred Stock are issued, the rights, designations and preferences of shares of Public Preferred Stock may differ from the rights, designations and preferences of the Exchange Preferred Shares.

Right to Exchange (A) Series D Preferred Units will be exchangeable in whole or in part at anytime on or after the tenth anniversary of the date of issuance, at the option of the holders thereof, for authorized but previously unissued shares of 9.125% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of the General Partner (the "Series D Preferred Stock") at an exchange rate of one share of Series D Preferred Stock for one Series D Preferred Unit, subject to adjustment as described below (the "Series D Exchange Price"), provided that the Series D Preferred Units will become exchangeable at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the holders of Series D Preferred Units for Series D Preferred Stock if (y) at any time full distributions shall not have been made on the applicable Series D Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date on any Series D Preferred Unit with respect to six (6) prior quarterly distribution periods, whether or not consecutive, provided, however, that a distribution in respect of Series D Preferred Units shall be considered timely made if made within two (2) Business Days after the applicable Series D Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date if at the time of such late payment there shall not be any prior quarterly distribution periods in respect of which full distributions were made more than two (2) Business Days after the applicable Series D Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date or (z) upon receipt by a holder or holders of Series D Preferred Units of (A) notice from the General Partner that the General Partner or a Subsidiary of the General Partner has taken the position that the Partnership is, or upon the occurrence of a defined event in the immediate future will be, a PTP and (B) an opinion rendered by an outside nationally recognized independent counsel familiar with such matters addressed to a holder or holders of Series D Preferred Units, that the Partnership is or likely is, or upon the occurrence of a defined event in the immediate future will be or likely will be, a PTP. In addition, the Series D Preferred Units may be exchanged for Series D Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at the option of any holder prior to the tenth anniversary of the issuance date and after the third anniversary thereof if such holder of a Series D Preferred Units shall deliver to the General Partner either (i) a private ruling letter addressed to such holder of Series D Preferred Units or (ii) an opinion of independent counsel reasonably acceptable to the General Partner based on the enactment of temporary or final Treasury Regulations or the publication of a Revenue Ruling, in either case to the effect that an exchange of the Series D Preferred Units at such earlier time would not cause the Series D Preferred Units to be considered "stock and securities" within the meaning of section 351(e) of the Code for purposes of determining whether the holder of such Series D Preferred Units is an "investment company" under section 721(b) of the Code if an exchange is permitted at such earlier date. Furthermore, the Series D Preferred Units may be exchanged in whole but not in part by any holder thereof which is a real estate investment trust within the meaning of Sections 856 through 859 of the Code for Series D Preferred Stock (but only if the exchange in whole may be accomplished consistently with the ownership limitations set forth under Article 5 of the Articles of Incorporation (taking into account exceptions thereto) if at any time (i) the Partnership reasonably determines that the assets and income of the Partnership for a taxable year after 1999 would not satisfy the income and assets tests of Section 856 of the Code for such taxable year if the Partnership were a real estate investment trust within the meaning of the Code or (ii) any such holder of Series D Preferred Units shall deliver to the Partnership and the General Partner an opinion of independent counsel reasonably acceptable to the General Partner to the effect that, based on the assets and income of the Partnership for a taxable year after 1999, the Partnership would not satisfy the income and assets tests of Section 856 of the Code for such taxable year if the Partnership were a real estate investment trust within the meaning of the Code and that such failure would create a meaningful risk that a holder of the Series D Preferred Units would fail to maintain qualification as a real estate investment trust.
(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.8(G)(i)(A), if an Series D Exchange Notice (as defined herein) has been delivered to the General Partner, then the General Partner may, at its option, elect to redeem or cause the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the outstanding Series D Preferred Units for cash in an amount equal to the original Capital Contribution per Series D Preferred Unit and all accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to the date of redemption. The General Partner may exercise its option to redeem the Series D Preferred Units for cash pursuant to this Section 4.8(g)(i)(B) by giving each holder of record of Series D Preferred Units notice of its election to redeem for cash, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Series D Exchange Notice, by (i) fax, and (ii) registered mail, postage paid, at the address of each holder as it may appear on the records of the Partnership stating (i) the redemption date, which shall be no later than sixty (60) days following the receipt of the Series D Exchange Notice, (ii) the redemption price, (iii) the place or places where the Series D Preferred Units are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, (iv) that distributions on the Series D Preferred Units will cease to accrue on such redemption date; (v) that payment of the redemption price will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Series D Preferred Units and (vi) the aggregate number of Series D Preferred Units to be redeemed, and if fewer than all of the outstanding Series D Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the number of Series D Preferred Units to be redeemed held by such holder, which number shall equal such holder's pro-rata share (based on the percentage of the aggregate number of outstanding Series D Preferred Units the total number of Series D Preferred Units held by such holder represents) of the aggregate number of Series D Preferred Units being redeemed.
(C) Upon the occurrence of an event giving rise to exchange rights pursuant to Section 4.8(g)(i)(A), in the event an exchange of all or a portion of Series D Preferred Units pursuant to Section 4.8(g)(i)(A) would violate the provisions on ownership limitation of the General Partner set forth in Article 5 of the Articles of Incorporation, the General Partner shall give written notice thereof to each holder of record of Series D Preferred Units, within five (5) Business Days following receipt of the Series D Exchange Notice, by (i) fax, and (ii) registered mail, postage prepaid, at the address of each such holder set forth in the records of the Partnership. In such event, each holder of Series D Preferred Units shall be entitled to exchange, pursuant to the provision of Section 4.8(g)(ii) a number of Series D Preferred Units which would comply with the provisions on the ownership limitation of the General Partner set forth in such Article 5 of the Articles of Incorporation and any Series D Preferred Units not so exchanged (the "Series D Excess Units") shall be redeemed by the Partnership for cash in an amount equal to the original Capital Contribution per Series D Excess Unit, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of redemption. The written notice of the General Partner shall state (i) the number of Series D Excess Units held by such holder, (ii) the redemption price of the Series D Excess Units, (iii) the date on which such Series D Excess Units shall be redeemed, which date shall be no later than sixty (60) days following the receipt of the Series D Exchange Notice, (iv) the place or places where such Series D Excess Units are to be surrendered for payment of the Series D Redemption Price, (iv) that distributions on the Series D Excess Units will cease to accrue on such redemption date, and (v) that payment of the redemption price will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Series D Excess Units. In the event an exchange would result in Series D Excess Units, as a condition to such exchange, each holder of such units agrees to provide representations and covenants reasonably requested by the General Partner relating to (i) the widely held nature of the interests in such holder, sufficient to assure the General Partner that the holder's ownership of stock of the General Partner (without regard to the limits described above) will not cause any individual to own in excess of 9.8% of the stock of the General Partner; and (ii) to the extent such holder can so represent and covenant without obtaining information from its owners, the holder's ownership of tenants of the Partnership and its affiliates.
(D) The redemption of Series D Preferred Units described in Section 4.8(g)(i)(B) and (C) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.8(e)(ii)(A) and Section 4.8(e)(iii)(B); provided, however, that for purposes hereof the term "Redemption Price" in Sections 4.8(e)(ii)(A) and 4.8(e)(iii)(B) shall be read to mean the original Capital Contribution per Series D Preferred Unit being redeemed plus all accrued and unpaid distributions to the redemption date.
