Repurchase of Units (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Partner or other Person holding Units will have the right to withdraw or tender for repurchase any of its Units. The Directors may, from time to time, in their complete and exclusive discretion and on terms and conditions as they may determine, cause the Partnership to repurchase Units in accordance with written tenders. The Partnership will not offer, however, to repurchase Units on more than four occasions during any one Fiscal Year, unless the Partnership has been advised by its legal counsel that more frequent offers would not cause any adverse tax consequences to the Partnership or the Partners. In determining whether to cause the Partnership to repurchase Units, pursuant to written tenders, the Directors will consider the following factors, among others:
Repurchase of Shares If any share is repurchased by any of the Funds or is tendered thereto for redemption within seven business days after confirmation by us of the original purchase order from you for such security, you shall forthwith refund to us the full compensation paid to you on the original sale.
Class B Shares As of December 1, 2009, Class B shares of the Virtus Mutual Funds are no longer available for purchase by new or existing shareholders, except for the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions into existing Class B share accounts, and for exchanges from existing Class B share accounts to other Virtus Mutual Funds with Class B shares.
Unvested Shares You are reflected as the owner of record of the Award Shares on the Company’s books. The Company will hold the share certificates for safekeeping, or otherwise retain the Award Shares in uncertificated book entry form, until the Award Shares become vested and nonforfeitable, and any share certificates (or electronic delivery) representing such unvested shares will include a legend to the effect that you may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or hypothecate the Award Shares. You must deliver to the Company, as soon as practicable after the Grant Date, a stock power, endorsed in blank, with respect to the Award Shares. If you forfeit any Award Shares, the stock power will be used to return the certificates for the forfeited Award Shares to the Company’s transfer agent for cancellation.
Repurchase of Interests (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member or other person holding an Interest or portion thereof shall have the right to withdraw or tender to the Company for repurchase that Interest or portion thereof. The Board from time to time, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may determine, may cause the Company to repurchase Interests or portions thereof pursuant to written tenders. However, the Company shall not offer to repurchase Interests on more than four occasions during any Taxable Year unless it has received an opinion of counsel to the effect that such more frequent offers would not cause any adverse tax consequences to the Company or Members. In determining whether to cause the Company to repurchase Interests pursuant to written tenders, the Board shall consider the recommendation of the Manager, and shall also consider the following factors, among others:
Purchase of Preferred Shares Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing the Company shall issue and sell to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser shall, severally and not jointly, purchase from the Company, the number of Preferred Shares set forth below such Purchaser’s name on the signature page of this Agreement at a per Preferred Share price equal to the Purchase Price.
Repurchase Option (a) If Purchaser's status as a Service Provider is terminated for any reason, including for cause, death, and disability, the Company shall have the right and option to purchase from Purchaser, or Purchaser's personal representative, as the case may be, all of the Purchaser's Unvested Shares as of the date of such termination at the price paid by the Purchaser for such Shares (the "Repurchase Option").
Repurchase Right After (i) Termination of the Optionee by the Company with Cause or resignation by the Optionee without Good Reason, or (ii) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Optionee’s Termination by the Company without Cause or resignation by the Optionee with Good Reason, regardless of whether such Termination or resignation is by virtue of the Optionee’s death, or otherwise, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase all or any number of the then Unvested Shares that are issued and outstanding and owned or held by the Optionee, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 7. The Company may exercise such repurchase right by delivering to the Optionee, within thirty (30) days following the effective date of such Termination or resignation, a notice (the “Notice”) of the Company’s intention to exercise its repurchase right under this Section 7, specifying the number of such Unvested Shares that the Company desires to repurchase, whereupon, subject to the provisions of this Section 7, the Company shall become legally obligated to repurchase from the Optionee, and the Optionee shall become legally obligated to sell to the Company, at the Closing (as such term is defined below), the number of Unvested Shares referred to in the Notice, and the Company shall not be required after delivery of the Notice to treat the Optionee as owner of the Unvested Shares referred to in the Notice, to accord the right to vote to the Optionee with respect thereto or to pay dividends thereon. The purchase price per share for all of the Unvested Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to this Section 7 shall be the purchase price originally paid by the Optionee to the Company for each of such Unvested Shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section II hereof), payable, at the election of the Company, in cash or through the cancellation of indebtedness. The closing (the “Closing”) of the repurchase by the Company of all or any number of Unvested Shares pursuant to this Section 7 shall take place at the offices of the Company at such time and on such date as the Company shall specify in the Notice, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the date of such Termination or resignation. At the Closing, the Optionee shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Company a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of Unvested Shares to be repurchased, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by duly executed stock powers, against payment by the Company of the purchase price therefor in accordance with the terms of this Section 7. In the event that the Company has a right to repurchase any Unvested Shares pursuant to this Section 7 and elects not to, or fails to, repurchase all or a portion of such Unvested Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7, all of such Unvested Shares not so repurchased shall, thereafter, be treated as Vested Shares for all purposes of this Agreement.
Optional Redemption of Preferred Stock for Cash Whenever the Company shall elect to redeem shares of deposited Preferred Stock for cash in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Amendment, it shall (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Depositary) give the Depositary not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of the date of such proposed redemption and of the number of such shares of Preferred Stock held by the Depositary to be redeemed and the applicable redemption price, as set forth in the Articles of Amendment, including the amount, if any, of accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date fixed for redemption. The Depositary shall mail, first-class postage prepaid, notice of the redemption of Preferred Stock and the proposed simultaneous redemption of the Depositary Shares representing the Preferred Stock to be redeemed, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption of such Preferred Stock and Depositary Shares (the “redemption date”), to the record holders of the Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares to be so redeemed, at the addresses of such holders as the same appear on the records of the Depositary; provided that if the Depositary Shares are held in the form of Global Registered Receipts through the Global Receipt Depositary, the Company may provide such notice of redemption in any manner permitted by such Global Receipt Depositary. No failure to give such notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall affect the sufficiency of notice or validity of the proceedings for redemption except as to a holder to whom notice was defective or not given. A redemption notice which has been mailed in the manner provided herein shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder received the redemption notice. The Company shall provide the Depositary with such notice, and each such notice shall state: the redemption date; the redemption price and accrued and unpaid dividends payable on the redemption date; the number of shares of deposited Preferred Stock and Depositary Shares to be redeemed; if fewer than all the Depositary Shares held by any holder are to be redeemed, the number of such Depositary Shares held by such holder to be so redeemed; the place or places where Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares to be redeemed are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and accrued and unpaid dividends payable on the redemption date; and that from and after the redemption date dividends in respect of the Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If fewer than all of the outstanding Depositary Shares are to be redeemed, the Depositary Shares to be redeemed shall be redeemed pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional Depositary Shares) or by any other equitable method determined by the Company. In the event that notice of redemption has been made as described in the immediately preceding paragraph and the Company shall then have paid or caused to be paid in full to the Depositary the redemption price (determined pursuant to the Articles of Amendment) of the Preferred Stock deposited with the Depositary to be redeemed (including any accrued and unpaid dividends to and including the redemption date), the Depositary shall redeem the number of Depositary Shares representing such Preferred Stock so called for redemption by the Company and from and after the redemption date (unless the Company shall have failed to pay for the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed by it as set forth in the Company’s notice provided for in the preceding paragraph), all dividends in respect of the shares of Preferred Stock called for redemption shall cease to accrue, the Depositary Shares called for redemption shall be deemed no longer to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares (except the right to receive the redemption price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to and including the redemption date) shall, to the extent of such Depositary Shares, cease and terminate. Upon surrender in accordance with said notice of the Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Depositary or applicable law shall so require), such Depositary Shares shall be redeemed at a redemption price of $ per Depositary Share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to and including the redemption date. The foregoing shall be further subject to the terms and conditions of the Articles of Amendment. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Deposit Agreement and the provisions of the Articles of Amendment, the provisions of the Articles of Amendment will govern and the Company will instruct the Depositary accordingly. If fewer than all of the Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt are called for redemption, the Depositary will deliver to the holder of such Receipt upon its surrender to the Depositary, together with payment of the redemption price for and all other amounts payable in respect of the Depositary Shares called for redemption, a new Receipt evidencing such holder’s Depositary Shares evidenced by such prior Receipt that are not called for redemption. The Company acknowledges that the bank accounts maintained by the Depositary in connection with the performance of the services described herein will be in the name of the Depositary and that the Depositary may receive investment earnings in connection with the investment at the Depositary’s risk and for its benefit of funds held in those accounts from time to time.
Escrow of Unvested Shares For purposes of facilitating the enforcement of the provisions of Section 3 above, Purchaser agrees, immediately upon receipt of the certificate(s) for the Shares subject to the Repurchase Option, to deliver such certificate(s), together with an Assignment Separate from Certificate in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A executed by Purchaser and by Purchaser's spouse (if required for transfer), in blank, to the Secretary of the Company, or the Secretary's designee, to hold such certificate(s) and Assignment Separate from Certificate in escrow and to take all such actions and to effectuate all such transfers and/or releases as are in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Secretary of the Company, or the Secretary's designee, is so appointed as the escrow holder with the foregoing authorities as a material inducement to make this Agreement and that said appointment is coupled with an interest and is accordingly irrevocable. Purchaser agrees that said escrow holder shall not be liable to any party hereof (or to any other party). The escrow holder may rely upon any letter, notice or other document executed by any signature purported to be genuine and may resign at any time. Purchaser agrees that if the Secretary of the Company, or the Secretary's designee, resigns as escrow holder for any or no reason, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have the power to appoint a successor to serve as escrow holder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
