Subscription of Shares For the sum of U.S.$25,000, which the Company acknowledges receiving in cash, the Company hereby issues the Shares to the Subscriber, and the Subscriber hereby subscribes for the Shares from the Company, subject to forfeiture, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Concurrently with the Subscriber’s execution of this Agreement, the Company shall register the Shares in the name of the Subscriber on the register of members of the Company. All references in this Agreement to Shares being forfeited shall take effect as surrenders for no consideration of such shares as a matter of Cayman Islands law.
Distribution of Shares (a) Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 hereof, and to such minimum purchase and other requirements as may from time to time be indicated in the Fund's Prospectus, Distributor, acting as principal for its own account and not as agent for the Fund, shall have the right to purchase Shares from the Fund. Distributor shall sell Shares only in accordance with the Fund's Prospectus, on a "best efforts" basis. Distributor shall purchase Shares from the Fund at a price equal to the net asset value, shall sell Shares at the public offering price as defined in Paragraph 8, and shall retain all sales charges.
(b) The Fund shall pay all expenses associated with notices, proxy solicitation material, the preparation of annual or more frequent revisions to the Fund's Prospectus and SAI and of printing and supplying the currently effective Prospectus and SAI to shareholders, other than those necessitated by Distributor's activities or rules and regulations related to Distributor's activities where such amendments or supplements result in expenses which the Fund would not otherwise have incurred.
(c) The Distributor (or its affiliates) shall pay the costs of printing and supplying all copies of the Prospectus and SAI that it may reasonably request for use in connection with the distribution of Shares. The Distributor will also pay the expenses of the preparation, excluding legal fees, and printing of all amendments and supplements to the Fund's Prospectus and SAI if the amendment or supplement arises from Distributor's activities or rules and regulations related to Distributor's activities and those expenses would not otherwise have been incurred by the Fund. Distributor will pay all expenses incurred by Distributor in advertising, promoting and selling Fund Shares.
(d) Prior to the continuous offering of any Fund Shares, commencing on a date agreed upon by the Fund and the Distributor, it is contemplated that the Distributor may solicit subscriptions for such Shares during a subscription period which shall last for such period as may be agreed upon by the parties hereto. The subscriptions will be payable within three business days after the termination of the subscription period, at which time the Fund will commence operations.
Aggregation of Shares If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 hereof, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Redemption of Shares PNC shall process requests to redeem Shares as follows:
(i) All requests to transfer or redeem Shares and payment therefor shall be made in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus, when the shareholder tenders Shares in proper form, accompanied by such documents as PNC reasonably may deem necessary.
(ii) PNC reserves the right to refuse to transfer or redeem Shares until it is satisfied that the endorsement on the instructions is valid and genuine and that the requested transfer or redemption is legally authorized, and it shall incur no liability for the refusal to process transfers or redemptions that PNC, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized, or until it is reasonably satisfied that there is no basis to any claims adverse to such transfer or redemption.
(iii) When Shares are redeemed, PNC shall deliver to the Fund’s custodian (the “Custodian”) and the Fund or its designee a notification setting forth the number of Shares redeemed. Such redeemed Shares shall be reflected on appropriate accounts maintained by PNC reflecting outstanding Shares of the Fund and Shares attributed to individual accounts.
(iv) PNC shall, upon receipt of the monies provided to it by the Custodian for the redemption of Shares, pay such monies as are received from the Custodian, all in accordance with the procedures established from time to time between PNC and the Fund.
(v) When a broker-dealer notifies PNC of a redemption desired by a customer, and the Custodian provides PNC with funds, PNC shall prepare and send the redemption proceeds to the broker-dealer on behalf of its customer, unless otherwise instructed in writing by the broker-dealer.
(vi) PNC shall not process or effect any redemption requests with respect to Shares of the Fund after receipt by PNC or its agent of notification of the suspension of the determination of the net asset value of the Fund.
Conversion of Shares (a) At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock (individually a “Share” and collectively the “Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares held in the Company’s treasury or by any of the Company’s subsidiaries) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of AREP Oil & Gas, IPO Co., the Company or the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive that fraction of a fully-paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of IPO Co. (“IPO Co. Common Stock”) equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined below) (the “Merger Consideration”).
(b) The “Exchange Ratio” shall be determined by multiplying 0.00000008936 [i.e., 1 / 11,190,650 (the number of outstanding Shares)] by the Share Amount (as hereafter defined). The “Share Amount” shall mean that number of shares of IPO Co. Common Stock which results in the holders of the Shares receiving, in the aggregate, a 7.990% (the “Percentage”) economic interest in the entire equity of the Enterprise (as hereafter defined) immediately prior to consummation of the IPO Transaction; provided, however, that the parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Percentage is based upon the assumption that the Enterprise will be subject to $500 million of net indebtedness (i.e., total indebtedness minus cash) immediately prior to or simultaneously with consummation of the IPO Transaction (after all incurrences and repayments of debt contemplated in Exhibit B hereto and excluding intercompany notes of the members of the Enterprise and their subsidiaries); (ii) to the extent that the Enterprise is subject to less than $500 million of net indebtedness at such time (after all incurrences and repayments of debt contemplated in Exhibit B hereto and excluding intercompany notes of the members of the Enterprise and their subsidiaries), the Percentage will be reduced by subtracting the Adjustment Amount (as hereafter defined) from the Percentage; and (iii) to the extent that the Enterprise is subject to in excess of $500 million of net indebtedness at such time (after all incurrences and repayments of debt contemplated in Exhibit B hereto and excluding intercompany notes of the members of the Enterprise and their subsidiaries), the Percentage will be increased by adding the Adjustment Amount to the Percentage. The “Adjustment Amount” shall mean the product of (x) 0.6322% and (y) that fraction obtained by dividing the positive difference between $500 million and the actual net indebtedness of the Enterprise immediately prior to or simultaneously with consummation of the IPO Transaction (after all incurrences and repayments of debt contemplated in Exhibit B hereto and excluding intercompany notes of the members of the Enterprise and their subsidiaries) by $100 million. Set forth on Schedule 1.7 hereto is an example of how the Percentage shall be calculated. At Closing, the remaining economic interest in the Enterprise will be held, directly or indirectly, by AREH. The term “Enterprise” shall mean a combination or consolidation of entities which includes 100% of the equity interests in each of AREP Oil & Gas, National Onshore, National Offshore and the Company.
Acquisition of Shares The Borrower will not acquire any equity, share capital, assets or obligations of any corporation or other entity or permit its Shares to be held by any party other than the Shareholder.
Description of Shares The beneficial interest in the Trust shall be divided into Shares, all without par value. The Trustees shall have the authority from time to time to issue or reissue Shares in one or more Series of Shares (including without limitation the Series specifically established and designated in Section 4.2), as they deem necessary or desirable, to establish and designate such Series, and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences as between the different Series of Shares as to right of redemption and the price, terms and manner of redemption, special and relative rights as to dividends and other distributions and on liquidation, sinking or purchase fund provisions, conversion rights, and conditions under which the several Series shall have separate voting rights or no voting rights. The Shares of each Series may be issued or reissued from time to time in one or more Classes, as determined by the Board of Trustees pursuant to resolution. Each Class shall be appropriately designated, prior to the issuance of any shares thereof, by some distinguishing letter, number or title. All Shares within a Class shall be alike in every particular. All Shares of each Series shall be of equal rank and have the same powers, preferences and rights, and shall be subject to the same qualifications, limitations and restrictions without distinction between the shares of different Classes thereof, except with respect to such differences among such Classes, as the Board of Trustees shall from time to time determine to be necessary or desirable, including without limitation differences in expenses, in voting rights and in the rate or rates of dividends or distributions. The Board of Trustees may from time to time increase the number of Shares allocated to any Class already created by providing that any unissued Shares of the applicable Series shall constitute part of such Class, or may decrease the number of Shares allocated to any Class already created by providing that any unissued Shares previously assigned to such Class shall no longer constitute part thereof. The Board of Trustees is hereby empowered to classify or reclassify from time to time any unissued Shares of each Series by fixing or altering the terms thereof and by assigning such unissued shares to an existing or newly created Class. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph the Board of Trustees is hereby empowered (i) to redesignate any issued Shares of any Series by assigning a distinguishing letter, number or title to such shares and (ii) to reclassify all or any part of the issued Shares of any Series to make them part of an existing or newly created Class.
Cancellation of Shares If the Corporation shall make available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Purchased Shares to be repurchased in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then from and after such time, the person from whom such shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such shares shall be deemed purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, and the Corporation shall be deemed the owner and holder of such shares, whether or not the certificates therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement.
Payment of Shares At or prior to the time of delivery of any of our shares you will pay or cause to be paid to the Custodian, for our account, an amount in cash equal to the net asset value of such shares. In the event that you pay for shares sold by you prior to your receipt of payment from purchasers, you are authorized to reimburse yourself for the net asset value of such shares from the offering price of such shares when received by you.
Combination of Shares If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the per share Exercise Price shall be appropriately increased and the number of shares of Warrant Shares shall be appropriately decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
