Procedures for Redemption (i) Notice of redemption will be (i) faxed, and (ii) mailed by the Partnership, by certified mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, addressed to the respective holders of record of the Series K Preferred Units at their respective addresses as they appear on the records of the Partnership. No failure to give or defect in such notice shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Series K Preferred Units except as to the holder to whom such notice was defective or not given. In addition to any information required by law, each such notice shall state: (a) the redemption date, (b) the Redemption Price, (c) the aggregate number of Series K Preferred Units to be redeemed and if fewer than all of the outstanding Series K Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the number of Series K 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 K Preferred Units that the total number of Series K Preferred Units held by such holder represents) of the aggregate number of Series K Preferred Units to be redeemed, (d) the place or places where such Series K Preferred Units are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, (e) that distributions on the Series K Preferred Units to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on such redemption date and (f) that payment of the Redemption Price will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Series K Preferred Units.
(ii) If the Partnership gives a notice of redemption in respect of Series K Preferred Units (which notice will be irrevocable) then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the redemption date, the Partnership will deposit irrevocably in trust for the benefit of the Series K Preferred Units being redeemed funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give irrevocable instructions and authority to pay such Redemption Price to the holders of the Series K Preferred Units upon surrender of the Series K Preferred Units by such holders at the place designated in the notice of redemption. On and after the date of redemption, distributions will cease to accumulate on the Series K Preferred Units or portions thereof called for redemption, unless the Partnership defaults in the payment thereof. If any date fixed for redemption of Series K Preferred Units is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. If payment of the Redemption Price is improperly withheld or refused and not paid by the Partnership, distributions on such Series K Preferred Units will continue to accumulate from the original redemption date to the date of payment, in which case the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the applicable Redemption Price.
Purchase and Redemption Procedures (a) The Fund hereby appoints the Company as an agent of the Fund for the limited purpose of receiving purchase and redemption requests on behalf of the Account (but not with respect to any Fund Shares that may be held in the general account of the Company) for Shares of those Designated Portfolios made available hereunder, based on allocations of amounts to the Account or subaccounts thereof under the Contracts and other transactions relating to the Contracts or the Account. Receipt of any such request (or relevant transactional information therefore) on any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of the SEC (a "Business Day") by the Company as such limited agent of the Fund prior to the time that the Fund calculates its net asset value as described from time to time in the Fund Prospectus (which as of the date of execution of this Agreement is 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) shall constitute receipt by the Fund on that same Business Day, provided that the Fund receives notice of such request by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the next following Business Day.
(b) The Company shall pay for Shares of each Designated Portfolio on the same day that it notifies the Fund of a purchase request for such Shares. Payment for Designated Portfolio Shares shall be made in federal funds transmitted to the Fund by wire to be received by the Fund by 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the same Business Day the Fund is notified of the purchase request for Designated Portfolio Shares pursuant to Section 1.3(a) (unless the Fund determines and so advises the Company that sufficient proceeds are available from redemption of Shares of other Designated Portfolios effected pursuant to redemption requests tendered by the Company on behalf of the Account). If federal funds are not received on time, such funds will be invested, and Designated Portfolio Shares purchased thereby will be issued, as soon as practicable and the Company shall promptly, upon the Fund's request, reimburse the Fund for any charges, costs, fees, interest or other expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with any advances to, or borrowing or overdrafts by, the Fund, or any similar expenses incurred by the Fund, as a result of portfolio transactions effected by the Fund based upon such purchase request. Upon receipt of federal funds so wired, such funds shall cease to be the responsibility of the Company and shall become the responsibility of the Fund.
(c) The Fund will redeem Designated Portfolio Shares requested on behalf of the Account, and make payment therefore, in accordance with the provisions of the then current registration statement of the Fund. Payment for Designated Portfolio Shares redeemed by the Account or the Company normally shall be made in federal funds transmitted by wire to the Company or any other designated person on the same Business Day that the Fund is properly notified of the redemption order for such Shares pursuant to Section 1.3(a) (unless redemption proceeds are to be applied to the purchase of Shares of other Designated Portfolios in accordance with Section 1.3(b) of this Agreement). The Fund shall not bear any responsibility whatsoever for the proper disbursement or crediting of redemption proceeds by the Company, the Company alone shall be responsible for such action.
(d) Any purchase or redemption request for Designated Portfolio Shares held or to be held in the Company's general account shall be effected at the net asset value per share next determined after the Fund's receipt of such request, provided that, in the case of a purchase request, payment for Fund Shares so requested is received by the Fund in federal funds prior to close of business for determination of such value, as defined from time to time in the Fund Prospectus.
Changes after Provision for Redemption No vote or consent of the holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall be required pursuant to Section 7(c) above if, at or prior to the time when any such vote or consent would otherwise be required pursuant to such Section, all outstanding shares of the Designated Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed, or shall have been called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust for such redemption, in each case pursuant to Section 5 above.
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 five Business Days prior to the Redemption Notice Date (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 written notice of such Optional Redemption (a “Notice of Redemption”) (in all cases, the text of such Notice of Redemption shall be prepared by the Company) not less than 55 nor more than 70 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes so to be redeemed in 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 and the Paying Agent. In the case of any Optional Redemption in part, Holders of Notes not called for Optional Redemption will not be entitled to an increased Conversion Rate for such Notes in accordance with Section 14.03 and Section 16.02(c). The Redemption Date must be a Business Day.
(b) The Notice of Redemption, 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 Notice of Redemption or any defect in the Notice of Redemption 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 Notice of Redemption shall specify:
(i) the Redemption Date (which must be a Business Day);
(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 may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date;
(vi) the procedures a converting Holder must follow to convert its Notes and the forms and amounts of consideration payable by the Company upon conversion;
(vii) the Conversion Rate and, if applicable, the number of Additional Shares added to the Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 14.03;
(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 a multiple thereof. A Notice of Redemption shall be irrevocable.
(d) If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed and the Notes to be redeemed are Global Notes, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Depositary in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed and the Notes to be redeemed are not Global Notes, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $1,000 or multiples thereof) by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee considers to be fair and appropriate. If any Note selected for partial redemption is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the portion of the Note submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion selected for redemption, subject, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Note, to the Depositary’s applicable procedures. If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed and the Holder of any Note (or any owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note) is reasonably not able to determine, before the close of business on the 55th scheduled Trading Day immediately before the relevant Redemption Date, whether such Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, is to be redeemed pursuant to such redemption, then such Holder or owner, as applicable, will be entitled to convert such Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, at any time before the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day prior to such Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price pursuant to Section 14.01(b)(v), in which case such Holder or owner, as applicable, will be entitled to convert such Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, until the Redemption Price has been paid or duly provided for, and each such conversion will be deemed to be of a Note called for redemption. The Trustee shall not be obligated to make any determination in connection with the foregoing.
Restrictions on Redemption The Company may not redeem any Notes on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Redemption Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to such Notes).
Repurchase and Redemption Upon timely receipt of notice from the Company that it intends to repurchase or exercise its right of redemption in respect of any of the Deposited Securities, and satisfactory documentation, and only if the Depositary shall have determined that such proposed repurchase or redemption is practicable, the Depositary shall (to the extent practicable) provide to each relevant Holder a notice setting forth the Company’s intention to exercise the repurchase or redemption rights and any other particulars set forth in the Company’s notice to the Depositary. The Depositary shall instruct the Custodian to present to the Company the Deposited Securities in respect of which repurchase or redemption rights are being exercised against payment of the applicable repurchase or redemption price. Upon receipt of confirmation from the Custodian that the repurchase or redemption has taken place and that funds representing the repurchase or redemption price have been received, the Depositary shall convert, transfer, and distribute the proceeds (net of applicable (a) fees and charges of, and the expenses incurred by, the Depositary, and (b) taxes), retire ADSs and cancel ADRs, if applicable, upon delivery of such ADSs by Holders thereof and the terms set forth in Sections 4.1 and 6.2 of the Deposit Agreement. If less than all outstanding Deposited Securities are repurchased or redeemed, the ADSs to be retired will be selected by lot or on a pro rata basis, as may be determined by the Depositary. The repurchase or redemption price per ADS shall be the dollar equivalent of the per share amount received by the Depositary (adjusted to reflect the ADS(s)-to-Share(s) ratio) upon the repurchase or redemption of the Deposited Securities represented by ADSs (subject to the terms of Section 4.8 of the Deposit Agreement and the applicable fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary, and taxes) multiplied by the number of Deposited Securities represented by each ADS repurchased or redeemed. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Deposit Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Company fails to give the Depositary timely notice of the proposed repurchase or redemption provided for above, the Depositary agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the actions contemplated in Section 4.7 of the Deposit Agreement, and the Company, the Holders and the Beneficial Owners acknowledge that the Depositary shall have no liability for the Depositary’s failure to perform the actions contemplated in Section 4.7 of the Deposit Agreement where such notice has not been so timely given, other than its failure to use commercially reasonable efforts, as provided herein.
Processing Redemption Requests You shall not purchase any share of any of the Funds from a record holder at a price lower than the net asset value next determined by or for the Funds’ shares. You shall, however, be permitted to sell any shares for the account of a shareholder of the Funds at the net asset value currently quoted by or for the Funds’ shares, and may charge a fair service fee for handling the transaction provided you disclose the fee to the record owner.
Redemption Procedures (i) Notice of any redemption of Partnership Preferred Securities (a "Redemption Notice") will be given by the Partnership by mail to each Holder of Partnership Preferred Securities to be redeemed not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. For purposes of the calculation of the date of redemption and the dates on which notices are given pursuant to this Section 6.2(e)(i), a Redemption Notice shall be deemed to be given on the day such notice is first mailed, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to Holders of Partnership Preferred Securities. Each Redemption Notice shall be addressed to the Holders of Partnership Preferred Securities at the address of each such Holder appearing in the books and records of the Partnership. No defect in the Redemption Notice or in the mailing thereof with respect to any Holder shall affect the validity of the redemption proceedings with respect to any other Holder.
(ii) In the event that fewer than all the outstanding Partnership Preferred Securities are to be redeemed, the Partnership Preferred Securities to be redeemed shall be redeemed pro rata provided, that, in the event Partnership Preferred Securities are held in book-entry only form by DTC or its nominee (or any successor Clearing Agency or its nominee), DTC will reduce, in accordance with DTC's customary procedures, the amount of the interest of each Clearing Agency Participant in the Partnership Preferred Securities to be redeemed; provided, that if, as a result of such pro rata redemption, Holders would hold fractional interests in the Partnership Preferred Securities, the General Partner may adjust the amount of the interest of each Holder to be redeemed to avoid such fractional interests.
(iii) If the Partnership gives a Redemption Notice (which notice will be irrevocable), then by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the redemption date, the Partnership (A) if the Partnership Preferred Securities are in book-entry only form with DTC, will deposit irrevocably with DTC funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give DTC irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price in respect of the Partnership Preferred Securities held through DTC in global form or (B) if the Partnership Preferred Securities are held in certificated form, will deposit with the Paying Agent, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price of the amount of any such Partnership Preferred Securities and will give to the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay such amounts to the Holders of Partnership Preferred Securities, upon surrender of their certificates, by check, mailed to the address of the relevant Holder appearing on the books and records of the Partnership on the redemption date; provided, however, that for so long as the Trust or the Property Trustee of the Trust shall hold the Partnership Preferred Securities, payment of cash shall be made by wire in same day funds to the Holder by 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the redemption date. For these purposes, the applicable Redemption Price shall not include Distributions which are being paid to Holders who were Holders on a relevant record date. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, then immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such deposit or payment, all rights of Holders of such Partnership Preferred Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of the Holders to receive the Redemption Price, but without interest on such Redemption Price, and from and after the date fixed for redemption, such Partnership Preferred Securities will not accumulate Distributions or bear interest. In the event that any date fixed for redemption of Partnership Preferred Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day (and without any interest in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price is improperly withheld or refused and not paid by either the Partnership or the Company pursuant to the Partnership Guarantee, Distributions on the Partnership Preferred Securities called for Redemption will continue to accumulate, to the extent that payment of such interest is legally available, from the original redemption date until the Redemption Price is actually paid. The Partnership shall not be required to register or cause to be registered the transfer of any Partnership Preferred Securities which have been called for redemption.
Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption In connection with any redemption of Securities, the Company may arrange for the purchase and conversion of any Securities by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers (the "Purchasers") to purchase such securities by paying to the Trustee in trust for the Holders, on or before the Redemption Date, an amount not less than the applicable Redemption Price, together with interest accrued to the Redemption Date, of such Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XI, the obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued to the Redemption Date, shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such amount is so paid by such Purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into (a copy of which shall be filed with the Trustee prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Redemption Date), any Securities called for redemption that are not duly surrendered for conversion by the Holders thereof may, at the option of the Company, be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and consistent with any agreement or agreements with such Purchasers, to be acquired by such Purchasers from such Holders and (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article XII) surrendered by such Purchasers for conversion, all as of immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date (and the right to convert any such Securities shall be extended through such time), subject to payment of the above amount as aforesaid. At the direction of the Company, the Trustee shall hold and dispose of any such amount paid to it by the Purchasers to the Holders in the same manner as it would monies deposited with it by the Company for the redemption of Securities. Without the Trustee's prior written consent, no arrangement between the Company and such Purchasers for the purchase and conversion of any Securities shall increase or otherwise affect any of the powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Trustee as set forth in this Indenture, and the Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with any such arrangement for the purchase and conversion of any Securities between the Company and such Purchasers, including the costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, incurred by the Trustee in the defense of any claim or liability arising out of or in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations under this Indenture.
Final Redemption Unless previously redeemed, or purchased and cancelled, the Bonds will be redeemed at their principal amount on the Interest Payment Date falling on, or nearest to, June 26, 2017. The Bonds may not be redeemed at the option of the Issuer other than in accordance with this Condition.
