(i) The General Partner shall, not later than the 30th day before the date fixed for redemption, give notice of redemption to the Limited Partner, at such Limited Partner’s last address designated on the records of the Partnership or the Transfer Agent, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. The notice shall be deemed to have been given when so mailed. The notice shall specify the Redeemable Interests, the date fixed for redemption, the place of payment, that payment of the redemption price will be made upon redemption of the Redeemable Interests (or, if later in the case of Redeemable Interests evidenced by Certificates, upon surrender of the Certificate evidencing the Redeemable Interests) and that on and after the date fixed for redemption no further allocations or distributions to which such Limited Partner would otherwise be entitled in respect of the Redeemable Interests will accrue or be made.
(ii) The aggregate redemption price for Redeemable Interests shall be an amount equal to the Current Market Price (the date of determination of which shall be the date fixed for redemption) of Limited Partner Interests of the class to be so redeemed multiplied by the number of Limited Partner Interests of each such class included among the Redeemable Interests. The redemption price shall be paid, as determined by the General Partner, in cash or by delivery of a promissory note of the Partnership in the principal amount of the redemption price, bearing interest at the rate of 5% annually and payable in three equal annual installments of principal together with accrued interest, commencing one year after the redemption date.
(iii) The Limited Partner or such Limited Partner’s duly authorized representative shall be entitled to receive the payment for the Redeemable Interests at the place of payment specified in the notice of redemption on the redemption date (or, if later in the case of Redeemable Interests evidenced by Certificates, upon surrender by or on behalf of the Limited Partner or transferee at the place specified in the notice of redemption, of the Certificate evidencing the Redeemable Interests, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by an assignment duly executed in blank).
(iv) After the redemption date, Redeemable Interests shall no longer constitute issued and Outstanding Limited Partner Interests.
(b) The provisions of this Section 4.10 shall also be applicable to Limited Partner Interests held by a Limited Partner as nominee, agent or representative of a Person determined to be an Ineligible Holder.

Shares; Membership Interests (a) The total of the membership interests in the Company shall be divided into (i) Class A Ordinary Shares having the rights and preferences as set forth herein (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), (ii) Class A Preferred Shares having the rights and preferences as set forth herein (the “Class A Preferred Shares” and, together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Class A Shares”), (iii) Class B Ordinary Shares having the rights and preferences as set forth herein (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”), and (iv) Class C Ordinary Share having the rights and preferences as set forth herein (the “Class C Ordinary Share” and, together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the Class A Preferred Shares and the Class B Ordinary Shares, the “Shares” and each a “Share”). Class A Ordinary Shares, Class A Preferred Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares shall have the same rights, powers and duties, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. The number of Class A Ordinary Shares shall be limited to the maximum number of Class A Ordinary shares offered in the Offering, plus (i) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares which may be issued upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Shares, plus (ii) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares which may be issued upon conversion of the Class B Ordinary Shares. The number of Class A Preferred Shares shall be limited to the number of Class A Preferred Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Management Services Agreement. The number of Class B Ordinary Shares shall be limited to up to 1,000. The number of Class C Ordinary Shares shall be limited to one. Class A Preferred Shares issued pursuant to the Management Services Agreement (“ASA Shares”) may be subject to vesting provisions as set forth in the Management Services Agreement. The Shares of the Members shall be as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, which may be updated as set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that all of the Class A Ordinary Shares are not sold pursuant to the Offering, the Board shall, upon the final closing of the Offering, issue a number of Class A Ordinary Shares to the Initial Member equal to the aggregate number of Class A Ordinary Shares that remain unsold in the Offering, as repayment in full of any and all obligations owing to the Initial Member in respect of advances made to acquire the Artwork and true-up fees payable to the Initial Member. The name and mailing address of each Member or such Member’s representative shall be listed on the books and records of the Company maintained for such purpose by the Company or the Transfer Agent.
(b) Prior to the date hereof and as set forth in the Original Agreement, the Initial Member has been issued 100% of the membership interests in the Company in return for a capital contribution of $100 (the “Prior Interests”). Upon execution of this Agreement, the Prior Interests shall be automatically converted into 1,000 Class B Ordinary Shares. As of the date of such conversion, the Class B Ordinary Shares shall constitute all of the membership interests of the Company and, prior to the issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares, Class A Preferred Shares and Class C Ordinary Share, shall have all of the rights and privileges of 100% of the membership interests in the Company afforded pursuant to this Agreement and applicable law.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Board shall have full power and authority to schedule one or more closings to issue Class A Ordinary Shares and admit Members to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any Person that acquires Class A Ordinary Shares and is admitted as a Member of the Company after the date hereof, shall, in connection with such Member’s acquisition of such Class A Ordinary Shares, be deemed to pay to the Company such Member’s pro rata share of any amounts used to acquire the Artwork, including any true-up fees and any other amounts paid to the Company by the previously admitted Members.
(d) The Class A Members may elect to convert their Class A Preferred Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the consummation of the Sale of the Artwork, subject to the terms and conditions herein, for no additional consideration. Each Class A Preferred Shares will automatically convert to one Class A Ordinary Share upon any Transfer of such Class A Preferred Shares to an entity that is not an Affiliate of the Administrator.
(e) The Class B Members may elect to convert their Class B Ordinary Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the consummation of the Sale of the Artwork, subject to the terms and conditions herein, for no additional consideration pursuant and to the following conversion formula: The number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of Class B Ordinary Shares shall equal (A) the Value Increase, multiplied by (B) the Conversion Percentage, multiplied by (C) 20%, divided by (D) the Class A Ordinary Share Value. For purposes herein:
Membership Interests The Sole Member currently owns one hundred percent (100%) of the percentage interests in the Company.
TERMINATION OR OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF ALL CERTIFICATES Section 9.01. Optional Purchase by the Master Servicer of All Certificates; Termination Upon Purchase by the Master Servicer or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created hereby in respect of the Certificates (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments after the Final Distribution Date to Certificateholders and the obligation of the Company to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Trustee on the Final Distribution Date pursuant to this Article IX following the earlier of:
(i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, or
(ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan or, if less than such unpaid principal balance, the fair market value of the related underlying property of such Mortgage Loan with respect to Mortgage Loans as to which title has been acquired if such fair market value is less than such unpaid principal balance (net of any unreimbursed Advances attributable to principal) on the day of repurchase plus accrued interest thereon at the Net Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of any Modified Mortgage Loan) to, but not including, the first day of the month in which such repurchase price is distributed, provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof and provided further that the purchase price set forth above shall be increased as is necessary, as determined by the Master Servicer, to avoid disqualification of any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement as a REMIC. The purchase price paid by the Master Servicer shall also include any amounts owed by Residential Funding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement in respect of any liability, penalty or expense that resulted from a breach of the Compliance With Laws Representation, that remain unpaid on the date of such purchase. The right of the Master Servicer to purchase all the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (ii) above is conditioned upon the Pool Stated Principal Balance as of the Final Distribution Date, prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, being less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans. If such right is exercised by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been reimbursed for the full amount of any unreimbursed Advances theretofore made by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans. In addition, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the certification required by Section 3.15 and the Trustee and the Custodian shall, promptly following payment of the purchase price, release to the Master Servicer the Custodial Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans being purchased. In addition to the foregoing, on any Distribution Date on which the Pool Stated Principal Balance, prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall have the right, at its option, to purchase the Certificates in whole, but not in part, at a price equal to the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificates plus the sum of Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for the related Interest Accrual Period and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest. If the Master Servicer exercises this right to purchase the outstanding Certificates, the Master Servicer will promptly terminate the respective obligations and responsibilities created hereby in respect of the Certificates pursuant to this Article IX.
(b) The Master Servicer shall give the Trustee not less than 40 days' prior notice of the Distribution Date on which the Master Servicer anticipates that the final distribution will be made to Certificateholders (whether as a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or otherwise) or on which the Master Servicer anticipates that the Certificates will be purchased (as a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer to purchase the outstanding Certificates). Notice of any termination specifying the anticipated Final Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee (if so required by the terms hereof) for payment of the final distribution and cancellation or notice of any purchase of the outstanding Certificates, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Holders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment, shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer (if it is exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or to purchase the outstanding Certificates), or by the Trustee (in any other case) by letter. Such notice shall be prepared by the Master Servicer (if it is exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or to purchase the outstanding Certificates), or by the Trustee (in any other case) and mailed by the Trustee to the Certificateholders not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution specifying:
(i) the anticipated Final Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates is anticipated to be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein designated where required pursuant to this Agreement or, in the case of the purchase by the Master Servicer of the outstanding Certificates, the Distribution Date on which such purchase is to be made,
(ii) the amount of any such final payment, or in the case of the purchase of the outstanding Certificates, the purchase price, in either case, if known, and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, and in the case of the Senior Certificates, or in the case of all of the Certificates in connection with the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the Certificates, that payment will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. If the Master Servicer is obligated to give notice to Certificateholders as aforesaid, it shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders and, if the Master Servicer is exercising its rights to purchase the outstanding Certificates, it shall give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. As a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate Account, before the Final Distribution Date in immediately available funds an amount equal to the purchase price for the assets of the Trust Fund, computed as provided above. As a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the outstanding Certificates, the Master Servicer shall deposit in an Eligible Account, established by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and separate from the Certificate Account in the name of the Trustee in trust for the registered holders of the Certificates, before the Distribution Date on which such purchase is to occur in immediately available funds an amount equal to the purchase price for the Certificates, computed as above provided, and provide notice of such deposit to the Trustee. The Trustee will withdraw from such account the amount specified in subsection (c) below.
(c) In the case of the Senior Certificates, upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders thereof, and in the case of the Class M and Class B Certificates, upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders thereof in connection with the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the Certificates, and otherwise in accordance with Section 4.01(a), the Trustee shall distribute to the Certificateholders (i) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date, if not in connection with the Master Servicer's election to repurchase the assets of the Trust Fund or the outstanding Certificates, or (ii) if the Master Servicer elected to so repurchase the assets of the Trust Fund or the outstanding Certificates, an amount determined as follows: (A) with respect to each Certificate the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance thereof, plus Accrued Certificate Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period thereon and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest, subject to the priority set forth in Section 4.02(a), and (B) with respect to the Class R Certificates, any excess of the amounts available for distribution (including the repurchase price specified in clause (ii) of subsection (a) of this Section) over the total amount distributed under the immediately preceding clause (A). Notwithstanding the reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Subordinate Certificates to zero, such Class will be outstanding hereunder until the termination of the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee hereunder in accordance with Article IX.
(d) If any Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before the Final Distribution Date (if so required by the terms hereof), the Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in the Certificate Account not distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account, which may be non-interest bearing, for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Master Servicer (if it exercised its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund), or the Trustee (in any other case) shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take appropriate steps as directed by the Master Servicer to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the escrow account and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain in the escrow account. If within nine months after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to the Master Servicer all amounts distributable to the holders thereof and the Master Servicer shall thereafter hold such amounts until distributed to such Holders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in the escrow account or by the Master Servicer as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.
(e) If any Certificateholders do not surrender their Certificates on or before the Distribution Date on which a purchase of the outstanding Certificates is to be made, the Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in the Certificate Account deposited therein by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.01(b) to be withdrawn therefrom and deposited in a separate escrow account, which may be non-interest bearing, for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Master Servicer shall give a second written notice to such Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for payment of the purchase price therefor. If within six months after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take appropriate steps as directed by the Master Servicer to contact the Holders of such Certificates concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the escrow account and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain in the escrow account. If within nine months after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation in accordance with this Section 9.01, the Trustee shall pay to the Master Servicer all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof and the Master Servicer shall thereafter hold such amounts until distributed to such Holders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in the escrow account or by the Master Servicer as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment in accordance with this Section 9.01. Any Certificate that is not surrendered on the Distribution Date on which a purchase pursuant to this Section 9.01 occurs as provided above will be deemed to have been purchased and the Holder as of such date will have no rights with respect thereto except to receive the purchase price therefor minus any costs and expenses associated with such escrow account and notices allocated thereto. Any Certificates so purchased or deemed to have been purchased on such Distribution Date shall remain outstanding hereunder until the Master Servicer has terminated the respective obligations and responsibilities created hereby in respect of the Certificates pursuant to this Article IX. The Master Servicer shall be for all purposes the Holder thereof as of such date.
