Voting of Underlying Securities, Modification of Indenture The Trustee, as holder of the Underlying Securities, has the right to vote and give consents and waivers in respect of the Underlying Securities as permitted by the Depository and except as otherwise limited by the Trust Agreement. In the event that the Trustee receives a request from the Depository, the Underlying Securities trustee or the Underlying Securities Issuer for its consent to any amendment, modification or waiver of the Underlying Securities, the Underlying Securities Indenture or any other document thereunder or relating thereto, or receives any other solicitation for any action with respect to the Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall mail a notice of such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation to each Certificateholder of record as of such date. The Trustee shall request instructions from the Certificateholders as to whether or not to consent to or vote to accept such amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation. The Trustee shall consent or vote, or refrain from consenting or voting, in the same proportion (based on the relative outstanding principal balances of the Certificates) as the Certificates of the Trust were actually voted or not voted by the Certificateholders thereof as of a date determined by the Trustee prior to the date on which such consent or vote is required after weighing the votes of the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders in accordance with the Allocation Ratio; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall at no time vote on or consent to any matter (i) unless such vote or consent would not (based on an Opinion of Counsel) alter the status of the Trust as a "grantor trust" for federal income tax purposes or result in the imposition of tax upon the Certificateholders, or (ii) that would alter the timing or amount of any payment on the Underlying Securities, including, without limitation, any demand to accelerate the Underlying Securities, except in the event of a default under the Underlying Securities or an event that with the passage of time would become an event of default under the Underlying Securities and with the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and 100% of the Call Holders, or (iii) except as provided in the following paragraph, that would result in the exchange or substitution of any of the outstanding Underlying Securities pursuant to a plan for the refunding or refinancing of such Underlying Securities except in the event of a default under the Underlying Securities Indenture and only with the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and 100% of the Call Holders. The Trustee shall have no liability for any failure to act resulting from Certificateholders' or Call Holders' late return of, or failure to return, directions requested by the Trustee from the Certificateholders and Call Holders. If an offer is made by the Underlying Securities Issuer to issue new obligations in exchange and substitution for any of the Underlying Securities, pursuant to a plan for the refunding or refinancing of the outstanding Underlying Securities or any other offer is made for the Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders, the Call Holders and the Rating Agencies of such offer promptly. Subject to Sections 7(b) and 14 in connection with a tender offer and the exercise of Call Rights or Optional Exchange rights, the Trustee must reject any such offer unless the Trustee is directed by the affirmative vote of 100% of the Certificateholders and 100% of the Call Holders to accept such offer, the Trustee has received the tax opinion described above and if the Trustee is so directed, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of such direction accompanied by evidence of the affirmative vote of such Certificateholders and Call Holders. If an event of default under the Underlying Securities Indenture occurs and is continuing, and if directed by 100% of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall vote the Underlying Securities in favor of directing, or take such other action as may be appropriate to direct, the Underlying Securities trustee to declare the unpaid principal amount of the Underlying Securities and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be due and payable.
Payment of Notes Called for Redemption (a) If any Redemption Notice has been given in respect of the Notes in accordance with Section 16.02, the Notes shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice and at the applicable Redemption Price. On presentation and surrender of the Notes at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice, the Notes shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price.
(b) Prior to the open of business on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent or, if the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 7.05 an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the Redemption Date), sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. Subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, payment for the Notes to be redeemed shall be made on the Redemption Date for such Notes. The Paying Agent shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Redemption Price.
