The terms of such Supplement may modify or amend the terms of this Agreement solely as applied to such new Series. The obligation of the Trustee to authenticate the Investor Certificates of such new Series and to execute and deliver the related Supplement is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(iv) the Transferor shall have received written notice from each Rating Agency that such issuance will not have a Ratings Effect and shall have delivered copies of each such written notice to the Servicer and the Trustee;
(v) the Transferor shall have delivered to the Trustee and any Series Enhancer entitled thereto pursuant to the relevant Supplement an Officer’s Certificate of the Transferor, dated the Series Issuance Date, to the effect that the Transferor reasonably believes that such issuance will not, based on the facts known to such officer at the time of such certification, then cause a Pay Out Event or any event that, after the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would constitute a Pay Out Event to occur with respect to any Series;
(vi) the Transferor shall have delivered to the Trustee, each Rating Agency and any Series Enhancer entitled thereto pursuant to the relevant Supplement a Tax Opinion, dated the Series Issuance Date, with respect to such issuance; and
(vii) the Transferor shall have delivered to the Trustee and any Series Enhancer entitled thereto pursuant to the relevant Supplement an Officer’s Certificate of the Transferor, dated the Series Issuance Date to the effect that the Transferor’s Participation Amount (excluding the interest represented by any Supplemental Certificate) shall not be less than the Specified Percentage of the total amount of Principal Receivables, in each case as of the Series Issuance Date, and after giving effect to such issuance. In addition, the Transferor agrees to provide notice of new issuances of Series of Investor Certificates as may be required by and in accordance with Item 1121(a)(14) of Regulation AB. Upon satisfaction of the above conditions, the Trustee shall execute the Supplement and authenticate the Investor Certificates of such Series upon execution thereof by the Transferor.
(c) If the Transferor elects to have all or a portion of its interest in the Transferor’s Interest evidenced by the Base Certificate as provided in Section 6.01 hereof, then the Transferor may surrender the Base Certificate to the Trustee in exchange for a newly issued Base Certificate and one or more additional certificates (each, a “Supplemental Certificate”), the terms of which shall be defined in a Supplement (which Supplement shall be subject to Section 13.01(a) to the extent that it amends any of the terms of this Agreement), to be delivered to or upon the order of the Transferor (or the Holder of a Supplemental Certificate, in the case of the transfer or exchange thereof, as provided below), upon satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) the Transferor shall have received written notice from each Rating Agency that such exchange (or transfer or exchange as provided below) will not have a Ratings Effect and shall have delivered copies of each such written notice to the Servicer and the Trustee; and
(ii) the Transferor shall have delivered to the Trustee, each Rating Agency and any Series Enhancer entitled thereto pursuant to the relevant Supplement a Tax Opinion dated the date of such exchange (or transfer or exchange as provided in the next sentence), with respect thereto. Any Supplemental Certificate may be transferred or exchanged only upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and subject to the related Supplement, any Holder of a Supplemental Certificate that is an Affiliate of the Transferor may elect at any time, by written notice to the Trustee, to have its interest in the Transferor’s Interest be (i) an uncertificated interest or (ii) evidenced by a certificate. If the Holder of a Supplemental Certificate elects to have its interest in the Transferor’s Interest be uncertificated, it shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Supplemental Certificate previously issued and the Trustee shall make the appropriate entry in the books and records of the Trust registering such uncertificated interest in the Transferor’s Interest. If the recorded owner of any such uncertificated interest elects to have its interest in the Transferor’s Interest be evidenced by a certificate, a Supplemental Certificate will be issued in registered form and in the form provided in the related Supplement.
Issuance of Shares of Common Stock Unless a Termination Event, an Early Settlement or a Fundamental Change Early Settlement shall have occurred, subject to Section 5.05(b), on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date upon receipt of the aggregate Purchase Price payable on all Outstanding Units in accordance with Section 5.03 above, the Company shall issue and deposit with the Purchase Contract Agent, for the benefit of the Holders of the Outstanding Units, one or more certificates representing newly issued shares of Common Stock registered in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent (or its nominee) as custodian for the Holders (such certificates for shares of Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions for which a record date and payment date for such dividend or distribution has occurred after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, being hereinafter referred to as the “Purchase Contract Settlement Fund”) to which the Holders are entitled hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, upon surrender of a Certificate to the Purchase Contract Agent on or after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, Early Settlement Date or Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date, as the case may be, together with settlement instructions thereon duly completed and executed, the Holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive forthwith in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of newly issued whole shares of Common Stock which such Holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article 5 (after taking into account all Units then held by such Holder), together with cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 5.09 and any dividends or distributions with respect to such shares constituting part of the Purchase Contract Settlement Fund, but without any interest thereon, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Such shares shall be registered in the name of the Holder or the Holder’s designee as specified in the settlement instructions provided by the Holder to the Purchase Contract Agent. If any shares of Common Stock issued in respect of a Purchase Contract are to be registered in the name of a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate evidencing such Purchase Contract is registered (but excluding any Depositary or nominee thereof), no such registration shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such registration has paid any transfer and other taxes (including any applicable stamp taxes) required by reason of such registration in a name other than that of the registered Holder of the Certificate evidencing such Purchase Contract or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax either has been paid or is not payable.
Issuance of Series of Shares If the Fund shall at any time issue shares in more than one series, this Agreement may be adopted, amended, continued or renewed with respect to a series as provided herein, notwithstanding that such adoption, amendment, continuance or renewal has not been effected with respect to any one or more other series of the Fund.
Sales of Shares The Dealer Manager shall, and each Soliciting Dealer shall agree to, solicit purchases of the Shares only in the jurisdictions in which the Dealer Manager and such Soliciting Dealer are legally qualified to so act and in which the Dealer Manager and each Soliciting Dealer have been advised by the Company in writing that such solicitations can be made.
Fractions of Shares No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Security or Securities. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Security or Securities (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall calculate and pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price Per Share at the close of business on the day of conversion.
Creation and Issue of Warrants A maximum of 12,152,000 Warrants (subject to adjustment as herein provided) are hereby created and authorized to be issued in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. By written order of the Corporation, the Warrant Agent shall deliver Warrants through the book-entry systems of the Depository to Registered Warrantholders and record the name of the Registered Warrantholders on the Warrant register. Registration of interests in Warrants held by the Depository may be evidenced by a position appearing on the register for Warrants of the Warrant Agent for an amount representing the aggregate number of such Warrants outstanding from time to time.
Sale and Issuance of Common Stock Subject to the terms ------------------------------------ and conditions of this Agreement, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties and covenants contained herein, the Investor agrees to purchase at the Closing, and the Company agrees to sell and issue to the Investor at the Closing (as defined herein), 1,541,261 shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.001 par value (the "Common Stock") for the aggregate purchase price of $15,412.61.
Purchase of Shares of Common Stock (a) Each Purchase Contract shall, unless an Early Settlement has occurred in accordance with Section 5.9, or a Merger Early Settlement has occurred in accordance with Section 5.10, obligate the Holder of the related Unit to purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Stock Purchase Date at a price equal to $50 (the "Purchase Price"), a number of newly issued shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate unless, on or prior to the Stock Purchase Date, there shall have occurred a Termination Event with respect to the Unit of which such Purchase Contract is a part. The "Settlement Rate" is equal to,
(i) if the Applicable Market Value (as defined below) is greater than or equal to $21.08 (the "Threshold Appreciation Price"), 2.3719 shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract,
(ii) if the Applicable Market Value is less than the Threshold Appreciation Price, but is greater than $17.28, the number of shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract equal to the Stated Amount of the related Unit divided by the Applicable Market Value, and
(iii) if the Applicable Market Value is equal to or less than $17.28, 2.8935 shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract, in each case subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.6 (and in each case rounded upward or downward to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share). As provided in Section 5.12, no fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon settlement of Purchase Contracts.
(b) No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued by the Company with respect to the payment of Contract Adjustment Payments on the Stock Purchase Date. In lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable with respect to such payment of Contract Adjustment Payments, the Holder will be entitled to receive an amount in cash as provided in Section 5.12.
Status of Shares Shares shall be deemed to be personal property giving Shareholders only the rights provided in this instrument. Every Shareholder by virtue of having become a Shareholder shall be held to have expressly assented and agreed to be bound by the terms hereof. The death of a Shareholder during the continuance of the Trust or any Series or Class thereof shall not operate to dissolve or terminate the Trust or any Series or Class nor entitle the representative of any deceased Shareholder to an accounting or to take any action in court or elsewhere against the Trust or the Trustees, but shall entitle such representative only to the rights of said decedent under this Trust Instrument. Ownership of Shares shall not entitle the Shareholder to any title in or to the whole or any part of the Trust Property or to any right to call for a partition or division of the same or for an accounting, nor shall the ownership of Shares constitute the Shareholders partners.
Issuance of Shares of Stock As soon as practicable following each Vesting Date (but in no event later than two and one-half months after the end of the year in which the Vesting Date occurs), the Company shall issue to the Grantee the number of shares of Stock equal to the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units that have vested pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Agreement on such date and the Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such shares.
