Redemptions at the Option of the Trust The Trust shall have the right, at its option, upon 30 days notice to the affected Shareholder at any time to redeem Shares of any Shareholder at the net asset value thereof as described in Section 1 of this Article VI: (i) if at such time such Shareholder owns Shares of any Series having an aggregate net asset value of less than a minimum value determined from time to time by the Trustees; or (ii) to the extent that such Shareholder owns Shares of a Series equal to or in excess of a maximum percentage of the outstanding Shares of such Series determined from time to time by the Trustees; or (iii) to the extent that such Shareholder owns Shares equal to or in excess of a maximum percentage, determined from time to time by the Trustees, of the outstanding Shares of the Trust.
Redemptions at the Option of a Shareholder Unless otherwise provided in the prospectus of the Trust relating to the Shares, as such prospectus may be amended from time to time:
(a) The Trust shall purchase such Shares as are offered by any Shareholder for redemption upon the presentation of a proper instrument of transfer together with a request directed to the Trust or a Person designated by the Trust that the Trust purchase such Shares and/or in accordance with such other procedures for redemption as the Board of Trustees may from time to time authorize. If certificates have been issued to a Shareholder, any request for redemption by such Shareholder must be accompanied by surrender of any outstanding certificate or certificates for such Shares in form for transfer, together with such proof of the authenticity of signatures as may reasonably be required on such Shares and accompanied by proper stock transfer stamps, if applicable.
(b) The Trust shall pay for such Shares the net asset value thereof (excluding any applicable redemption fee or sales load), in accordance with this Declaration of Trust, the By-Laws, the 1940 Act and other applicable law. Payments for Shares so redeemed by the Trust shall be made in cash, except payment for such Shares may, at the option of the Board of Trustees, or such officer or officers as it may duly authorize in its complete discretion, be made in kind or partially in cash and partially in kind. In case of any payment in kind, the Board of Trustees, or its authorized officers, shall have absolute discretion as to what security or securities of the Trust or the applicable Series shall be distributed in kind and the amount of the same; and the securities shall be valued for purposes of distribution at the value at which they were appraised in computing the then current net asset value of the Shares, provided that any Shareholder who cannot legally acquire securities so distributed in kind shall receive cash to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Shareholders shall bear the expenses of in-kind transactions, including, but not limited to, transfer agency fees, custodian fees and costs of disposition of such securities.
(c) Payment by the Trust for such redemption of Shares shall be made by the Trust to the Shareholder within seven days after the date on which the redemption request is received in proper form and/or such other procedures authorized by the Board of Trustees are complied with; provided, however, that if payment shall be made other than exclusively in cash, any securities to be delivered as part of such payment shall be delivered as promptly as any necessary transfers of such securities on the books of the several corporations whose securities are to be delivered practicably can be made, which may not necessarily occur within such seven-day period. In no case shall the Trust be liable for any delay of any corporation or other Person in transferring securities selected for delivery as all or part of any payment in kind.
(d) The obligations of the Trust set forth in this Section 2 are subject to the provision that such obligations may be suspended or postponed by the Board of Trustees (1) during any time the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is closed for other than weekends or holidays; (2) if permitted by the rules of the Commission, during periods when trading on the Exchange is restricted; or (3) during any National Financial Emergency. The Board of Trustees may, in its discretion, declare that the suspension relating to a National Financial Emergency shall terminate, as the case may be, on the first business day on which the Exchange shall have reopened or the period specified above shall have expired (as to which, in the absence of an official ruling by the Commission, the determination of the Board of Trustees shall be conclusive).
(e) The right of any Shareholder of the Trust or any Series or Class thereof to receive dividends or other distributions on Shares redeemed and all other rights of such Shareholder with respect to the Shares so redeemed, except the right of such Shareholder to receive payment for such Shares, shall cease at the time the purchase price of such Shares shall have been fixed, as provided above.
Redemption at the Option of the Company Unless a Redemption Right is specified on the face hereof, this Security shall not be redeemable at the option of the Company before the Maturity Date specified on the face hereof. If a Redemption Right is so specified, this Security may be redeemed at the option of the Company on any Business Day on and after the date, if any, specified on the face hereof (each, a "Redemption Date"). This Security may be redeemed on any Redemption Date in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 (an "Authorized Denomination") at the option of the Company at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, on written notice given not more than 60 days nor less than 5 days prior to the proposed Redemption Date. In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.
Redemption at the Option of the Issuer The Issuer may (if this Condition 6.2 is specified in the relevant Final Terms as being applicable) having given at least 30 days but not more than 60 days’ notice (or such period as specified in the relevant Final Terms) to PR Debt Instrument Holders in accordance with Condition 18 (which notice must comply with the following paragraph and shall be irrevocable) and subject to satisfaction of any relevant conditions specified in the relevant Final Terms redeem all (but not, unless and to the extent that the relevant Final Terms specify otherwise, some only) of the PR Debt Instruments on the date specified in the Final Terms (“Optional Redemption Date”) at their early redemption amount (call) (“Early Redemption Amount (Call)”) (which shall be their outstanding nominal amount or a percentage of their outstanding nominal amount as specified in the Final Terms) together with accrued interest (if any) thereon. The notice referred to in the preceding paragraph shall specify:
(a) the Series of PR Debt Instruments subject to redemption;
(b) whether such Series is to be redeemed in whole or in part only and, if in part only, the aggregate nominal amount of the PR Debt Instruments of the relevant Series which are to be redeemed;
(c) the due date for redemption;
(d) the Early Redemption Amount (Call) at which such PR Debt Instruments are to be redeemed; and
(e) whether or not accrued interest is to be paid upon redemption and, if so, the amount thereof or the basis or method of calculation thereof, all as specified in the relevant Final Terms. In the case of a partial redemption of PR Debt Instruments, the PR Debt Instruments to be redeemed will be selected by the I&P Agent or in the case of a Tranche represented wholly by Registered PR Debt Instruments, the Registrar, and notice of the PR Debt Instruments called for redemption (together with the serial numbers thereof) will be published in accordance with Condition 18 not less than 15 days prior to the date fixed for redemption.
Repayment at the Option of the Holder Unless a Repayment Right is specified on the face hereof, this Security shall not be repayable at the option of the Holder on any date prior to the Maturity Date specified on the face hereof, other than in connection with any applicable Survivor's Option (defined below). If a Repayment Right is so specified, this Security is subject to repayment at the option of the Holder on any Interest Payment Date on and after the date, if any, indicated on the face hereof (each, a "Repayment Date"). On any Repayment Date, this Security shall be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 at the option of the Holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with accrued interest thereon to the Repayment Date. In order for a Security to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder, the Trustee must receive, at the Corporate Trust Office, or such other office of which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of the Securities, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Repayment Date on which this Security is to be repaid, this Security with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed. Once this Security is delivered for repayment, the Holder may not revoke its exercise of the repayment option.
Repurchase at the Option of Holders If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Senior Notes, Holders of Senior Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Senior Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”). In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Senior Notes repurchased, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to Holders of Senior Notes describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Senior Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice, which offer will constitute the Change of Control Offer. The notice will, if mailed prior to the date on which the Change of Control occurs, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the applicable Change of Control Payment Date. On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall be required, to the extent lawful, to:
(a) accept for payment all Senior Notes or portions of Senior Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(b) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Senior Notes or portions of Senior Notes properly tendered; and
(c) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Senior Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes or portions of Senior Notes being purchased. The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and the third party repurchases all Senior Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not be required to repurchase any Senior Notes if it has given written notice of a redemption in whole of the Senior Notes. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Senior Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture, the Company shall be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Article VII by virtue of such compliance.
REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS Section 1301. Applicability of Article. Securities of any series which are repayable at the option of the Holders thereof before their Stated Maturity shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series. The repayment of any principal amount of Securities pursuant to such option of the Holder to require repayment of Securities before their Stated Maturity, for purposes of Section 309, shall not operate as a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the Company, at its option, shall deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee with a directive that such Securities be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1301, in connection with any repayment of Securities, the Company may arrange for the purchase of any Securities by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers to purchase such Securities by paying to the Holders of such Securities on or before the applicable repayment date an amount not less than the repayment price payable by the Company on repayment of such Securities, and the obligation of the Company to pay the repayment price of such Securities shall be satisfied and discharged to the extent such payment is so paid by such purchasers. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Indenture or pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series or unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Indenture to the repayment of Securities at the option of the Holders thereof (and all references of like import) shall be deemed to include a reference to the repurchase or redemption of Securities at the option of the Holders thereof.
REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER (A) If there is a Change of Control, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of settlement (the “Change of Control Settlement Date”), subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the Change of Control Settlement Date set forth in Section 4.15 of the Indenture. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will send a notice to each Holder and the Trustee setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.
(B) On the 361st day after the Asset Sale (or at the Company’s option, any earlier date), if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds then exceeds $25.0 million, the Company will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes (with a copy to the Trustee), and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase, prepay or redeem, on a pro rata basis as specified in the Indenture, the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of settlement, subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of settlement, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds allocated to the purchase of Notes, the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (except that any Notes represented by a Note in global form will be selected by such method as DTC may require). Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. Holders of Definitive Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes.
Optional Redemption upon Equity Offerings At any time, or from time to time, prior to June 1, 2010, the Company may, at its option, use an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) originally issued under this Indenture at a redemption price of 110.500% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Redemption Date; provided that:
(1) at least 65% of the principal amount of Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) originally issued under this Indenture remains outstanding immediately after any such redemption; and
(2) the Company makes such redemption not more than 120 days after the consummation of any such Equity Offering.
Optional Redemption at Election of Company Subject to the provisions of this Section 6, the Company may deliver a notice to the Holder (an “Optional Redemption Notice” and the date such notice is deemed delivered hereunder, the “Optional Redemption Notice Date”) of its irrevocable election to redeem some or all of the then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture for cash in an amount equal to the Optional Redemption Amount on the 10th Business Day following the Optional Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Optional Redemption Date” and such redemption, the “Optional Redemption”). The Optional Redemption Amount is payable in full on the Optional Redemption Date. The Company may not deliver an Optional Redemption Notice if there is an existing Event of Default or an existing event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, would constitute an Event of Default. If any portion of the payment pursuant to an Optional Redemption shall not be paid by the Company on the applicable due date, interest shall accrue thereon at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until such amount is paid in full. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if any portion of the Optional Redemption Amount remains unpaid after such date, the Holder may elect, by written notice to the Company given at any time thereafter, to invalidate such Optional Redemption, ab initio, and, with respect to the Company’s failure to honor the Optional Redemption, the Company shall have no further right to exercise such Optional Redemption. The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered from the time of delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice through the date all amounts owing thereon are due and paid in full.
