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.
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.
Repurchase or Redemption of Shares by the Fund 4.1 Any of the outstanding Shares may be tendered for redemption at any time, and the Fund agrees to repurchase or redeem the Shares so tendered in accordance with its Declaration of Trust as amended from time to time, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Prospectus. The price to be paid to redeem or repurchase the Shares shall be equal to the net asset value determined as set forth in the Prospectus. All payments by the Fund hereunder shall be made in the manner set forth in Section 4.2 below.
4.2 The Fund shall pay the total amount of the redemption price as defined in the above paragraph pursuant to the instructions of the Distributor on or before the seventh day subsequent to its having received the notice of redemption in proper form. The proceeds of any redemption of Shares shall be paid by the Fund as follows:
(i) in the case of Shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, any applicable contingent deferred sales charge shall be paid to the Distributor, and the balance shall be paid to or for the account of the redeeming shareholder, in each case in accordance with applicable provisions of the Prospectus; and (ii) in the case of all other Shares, proceeds shall be paid to or for the account of the redeeming shareholder, in each case in accordance with applicable provisions of the Prospectus.
4.3 Redemption of any class and/or series of Shares or payment may be suspended at times when the New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than customary weekends and holidays, when trading on said Exchange is restricted, when an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by the Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund fairly to determine the value of its net assets, or during any other period when the Securities and Exchange Commission, by order, so permits.
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.
Optional Redemption in Cash The Companies may prepay this Note ("Optional Redemption") by paying to the Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Principal Amount outstanding at such time together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the Holder arising under this Note (the "Redemption Amount") outstanding on the Redemption Payment Date (as defined below). The Companies shall deliver to the Holder a written notice of redemption (the "Notice of Redemption") specifying the date for such Optional Redemption (the "Redemption Payment Date"), which date shall be seven (7) business days after the date of the Notice of Redemption (the "Redemption Period"). A Notice of Redemption shall not be effective with respect to any portion of this Note for which the Holder has previously delivered a Notice of Conversion (as hereinafter defined) or for conversions elected to be made by the Holder pursuant to Section 3.3 during the Redemption Period. The Redemption Amount shall be determined as if the Holder's conversion elections had been completed immediately prior to the date of the Notice of Redemption. On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount must be paid in good funds to the Holder. In the event the Companies fail to pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption Payment Date as set forth herein, then such Redemption Notice will be null and void.
Redemption of Units Any redemption of Units by the Company permitted under Article III shall be conducted in accordance with this Section 3.13.
(a) The Company shall, not later than 30 days before the date fixed for redemption, give notice of redemption to the Member at its last address designated on the records of the Company or the Transfer Agent, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or overnight courier of national reputation. The notice shall be deemed to have been given when so mailed. The notice shall specify the Redeemable Units, the date fixed for redemption, the place of payment, that payment of the redemption price will be made upon the redemption of the Redeemable Units (or, if later in the case of Redeemable Units evidenced by Certificates, upon surrender of the Certificates evidencing such Redeemable Units) and that on and after the date fixed for redemption no further allocations or distributions to which the Member would otherwise be entitled in respect of the Redeemable Units will accrue or be made.
(b) The aggregate redemption price for Redeemable Units shall be an amount equal to the Current Market Price (the date of determination of which shall be the date fixed for redemption) of Units of the class to be so redeemed multiplied by the number of Units of each such class included among the Redeemable Units, net of any costs or expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such redemption. Subject to the Delaware Act, the redemption price shall be paid, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, (i) in cash, (ii) by delivery of a promissory note of the Company in the principal amount of the redemption price, bearing interest at the rate of 8% annually and payable in three equal annual installments of principal together with accrued interest, the first such installment commencing one year after the redemption date (or, if later in the case of Redeemable Units evidenced by Certificates, upon surrender of the Certificates evidencing such Redeemable Units) or (iii) a combination of cash and a promissory note having the terms described in clause (ii).
(c) The Member or its duly authorized representative shall be entitled to receive the payment for Redeemable Units at the place of payment specified in the notice of redemption (i) in the case of uncertificated Redeemable Units, on the redemption date or (ii) in the case of Redeemable Units evidenced by Certificates, upon surrender, on the redemption date or thereafter, by or on behalf of the Member, of the Certificates evidencing the Redeemable Units, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by an assignment duly executed in blank.
(d) After the redemption date, Redeemable Units shall no longer constitute Outstanding Units.
