Payment Upon Redemption (a) If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities of the series to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and interest on such Securities or portions of Securities shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such redemption price and accrued interest with respect to any such Security or portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Securities shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price for such series, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption is an interest payment date, the interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered holder at the close of business on the applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.03).
(b) Upon presentation of any Security of such series that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the office or agency where the Security is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security of the same series of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.
Mandatory Redemption at Subscriber’s Election In the event the Company is prohibited from issuing Conversion Shares, or fails to timely deliver Shares on a Delivery Date, or upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default (as defined in this Note or in the Subscription Agreement) or for any reason other than pursuant to the limitations set forth in Section 2.3 hereof, then at the Subscriber's election, the Company must pay to the Subscriber ten (10) business days after request by the Subscriber, at the Subscriber's election, a sum of money in immediately available terms equal to the greater of (i) the product of the outstanding principal amount of the Note designated by the Subscriber multiplied by 120%, or (ii) the product of the number of Conversion Shares otherwise deliverable upon conversion of an amount of Note principal and/or interest designated by the Subscriber (with the date of giving of such designation being a “Deemed Conversion Date”) at the then Conversion Price that would be in effect on the Deemed Conversion Date multiplied by the average of the closing bid prices for the Common Stock for the five consecutive trading days preceding either: (1) the date the Company becomes obligated to pay the Mandatory Redemption Payment, or (2) the date on which the Mandatory Redemption Payment is made in full, whichever is greater, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any liquidated damages then payable (“Mandatory Redemption Payment”). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by the Subscriber on the same date as the Company Shares otherwise deliverable or within ten (10) business days after request, whichever is sooner (“Mandatory Redemption Payment Date”). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding Note principal and interest will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding. Liquidated damages calculated pursuant to Section 2.5(c) hereof, that have been paid or accrued for the twenty (20) day period prior to the actual receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment by the Subscriber shall be credited against the Mandatory Redemption Payment.
Mandatory Redemption The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
Optional Redemption of Notes (a) The Issuer shall have the right to redeem the Notes at its option and in its sole discretion at any time or from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, in whole or in part. Prior to the Par Call Date, the redemption price (“Redemption Price”) will equal the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) that would be due if the Notes matured on the Par Call Date, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the Issuer will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such interest payment date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date (instead of the Holder surrendering its Notes for redemption). If the Notes are redeemed on or after the Par Call Date, the Redemption Price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
(b) The Issuer shall not redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01(a) hereof on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such an acceleration has not been rescinded or cured on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Issuer in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to the Notes to be redeemed).
Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Notes (a) In case the Company exercises its Optional Redemption right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 16.01, it shall fix a date for redemption (each, a “Redemption Date”) and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not less than 5 Business Days prior to the date such Redemption Notice is to be sent (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall deliver or cause to be delivered a notice of such Optional Redemption (a “Redemption Notice”) not less than 35 nor more than 60 Trading Days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes so to be redeemed as a whole or in part; provided, however, that if the Company shall give such notice, it shall also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee). The Redemption Date must be a Business Day. The Company may not specify a Redemption Date that falls on or after the 31st Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.
(b) The Redemption Notice, if delivered in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such Redemption Notice or any defect in the Redemption Notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.
(c) Each Redemption Notice shall specify:
(i) the Redemption Date;
(ii) the Redemption Price;
(iii) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;
(iv) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;
(v) that Holders called (or deemed called) for redemption may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date;
(vi) the procedures a converting Holder must follow to convert its Notes and the Settlement Method and Specified Dollar Amount, if applicable;
(vii) the Conversion Rate;
(viii) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Notes; and
(ix) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued, which principal amount must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. A Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. An Optional Redemption may not be conditional. The selection of any Note or portion thereof for redemption, the sending of any Redemption Notice, and the deposit of the Redemption Price with the Trustee or a Paying Agent, shall not in any way limit the conversion privilege of any Holder or the Company’s Conversion Obligation with respect to any Note for which the Conversion Date occurs before the Redemption Date.
(d) If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected according to the Depositary’s applicable procedures, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Note, or, in the case of Notes represented by Physical Notes, by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee deems to be appropriate and fair. If the Trustee selects a portion of any Holder’s Notes for partial redemption and such Holder converts a portion of such Notes, the converted portion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be from the portion selected for redemption.
(e) If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes, after giving effect to such redemption, at least $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes shall be outstanding and not subject to such redemption as of the date the Redemption Notice is delivered.
No Mandatory Redemption The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Securities.
Payment of Notes Called for Redemption (a) If any Redemption Notice has been given in respect of the Notes in accordance with Section 16.02, the Notes shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice and at the applicable Redemption Price. On presentation and surrender of the Notes at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice, the Notes shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price.
(b) Prior to the open of business on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent or, if the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 7.05 an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the Redemption Date), sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. Subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, payment for the Notes to be redeemed shall be made on the Redemption Date for such Notes. The Paying Agent shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Redemption Price.
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:
Issue and Redemption of Fund Shares All expenses incurred in connection with the issue, redemption, and transfer of the Fund’s shares, including the expense of confirming all share transactions;
Tender and Exchange Offers; Redemption, Replacement or Cancellation of Deposited Securities (a) The Depositary shall not tender any Deposited Securities in response to any voluntary cash tender offer, exchange offer or similar offer made to holders of Deposited Securities (a “Voluntary Offer”), except when instructed in writing to do so by an Owner surrendering American Depositary Shares and subject to any conditions or procedures the Depositary may require.
(b) If the Depositary receives a written notice that Deposited Securities have been redeemed for cash or otherwise purchased for cash in a transaction that is mandatory and binding on the Depositary as a holder of those Deposited Securities (a “Redemption”), the Depositary, at the expense of the Company, shall (i) if required, surrender Deposited Securities that have been redeemed to the issuer of those securities or its agent on the redemption date, (ii) Disseminate a notice to Owners (A) notifying them of that Redemption, (B) calling for surrender of a corresponding number of American Depositary Shares and (C) notifying them that the called American Depositary Shares have been converted into a right only to receive the money received by the Depositary upon that Redemption and those net proceeds shall be the Deposited Securities to which Owners of those converted American Depositary Shares shall be entitled upon surrenders of those American Depositary Shares in accordance with Section 2.5 or 6.2 and (iii) distribute the money received upon that Redemption to the Owners entitled to it upon surrender by them of called American Depositary Shares in accordance with Section 2.5 (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Owners shall not be entitled to receive that money under Section 4.1). If the Redemption affects less than all the Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall call for surrender a corresponding portion of the outstanding American Depositary Shares and only those American Depositary Shares will automatically be converted into a right to receive the net proceeds of the Redemption. The Depositary shall allocate the American Depositary Shares converted under the preceding sentence among the Owners pro-rata to their respective holdings of American Depositary Shares immediately prior to the Redemption, except that the allocations may be adjusted so that no fraction of a converted American Depositary Share is allocated to any Owner. A Redemption of all or substantially all of the Deposited Securities shall be a Termination Option Event.
(c) If the Depositary is notified of or there occurs any change in nominal value or any subdivision, combination or any other reclassification of the Deposited Securities or any recapitalization, reorganization, sale of assets substantially as an entirety, merger or consolidation affecting the issuer of the Deposited Securities or to which it is a party that is mandatory and binding on the Depositary as a holder of Deposited Securities and, as a result, securities or other property have been or will be delivered in exchange, conversion, replacement or in lieu of, Deposited Securities (a “Replacement”), the Depositary shall, if required, surrender the old Deposited Securities affected by that Replacement of Shares and hold, as new Deposited Securities under this Deposit Agreement, the new securities or other property delivered to it in that Replacement. However, the Depositary may elect to sell those new Deposited Securities if in the opinion of the Depositary it is not lawful or not practical for it to hold those new Deposited Securities under this Deposit Agreement because those new Deposited Securities may not be distributed to Owners without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or for any other reason, at public or private sale, at such places and on such terms as it deems proper and proceed as if those new Deposited Securities had been Redeemed under paragraph (b) above. A Replacement shall be a Termination Option Event.
(d) In the case of a Replacement where the new Deposited Securities will continue to be held under this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary may call for the surrender of outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts specifically describing the new Deposited Securities and the number of those new Deposited Securities represented by each American Depositary Share. If the number of Shares represented by each American Depositary Share decreases as a result of a Replacement, the Depositary may call for surrender of the American Depositary Shares to be exchanged on a mandatory basis for a lesser number of American Depositary Shares and may sell American Depositary Shares to the extent necessary to avoid distributing fractions of American Depositary Shares in that exchange and distribute the net proceeds of that sale to the Owners entitled to them.
(e) If there are no Deposited Securities with respect to American Depositary Shares, including if the Deposited Securities are cancelled, or the Deposited Securities with respect to American Depositary Shares have become apparently worthless, the Depositary may call for surrender of those American Depositary Shares or may cancel those American Depositary Shares, upon notice to Owners, and that condition shall be a Termination Option Event.
