Transfer of Securities The Bank will transfer, exchange, deliver or release Portfolio Securities held by it hereunder, insofar as such Securities are available for such purpose, provided that before making any transfer, exchange, delivery or release under this Section only upon receipt of Proper Instructions. The Proper Instructions shall state that such transfer, exchange or delivery is for a purpose permitted under the terms of this Section 6.12, and shall specify the applicable subsection, or describe the purpose of the transaction with sufficient particularity to permit the Bank to ascertain the applicable subsection. After receipt of such Proper Instructions, the Bank will transfer, exchange, deliver or release Portfolio Securities only in the following circumstances: (a) Upon sales of Portfolio Securities for the account of the Fund, against contemporaneous receipt by the Bank of payment therefor in full, or against payment to the Bank in accordance with generally accepted settlement practices and customs in the jurisdiction or market in which the transaction occurs, each such payment to be in the amount of the sale price shown in a broker's confirmation of sale received by the Bank before such payment is made, as confirmed in the Proper Instructions received by the Bank before such payment is made; (b) In exchange for or upon conversion into other securities alone or other securities and cash pursuant to any plan of merger, consolidation, reorganization, share split-up, change in par value, recapitalization or readjustment or otherwise, upon exercise of subscription, purchase or sale or other similar rights represented by such Portfolio Securities, or for the purpose of tendering shares in the event of a tender offer therefor, provided, however, that in the event of an offer of exchange, tender offer, or other exercise of rights requiring the physical tender or delivery of Portfolio Securities, the Bank shall have no liability for failure to so tender in a timely manner unless such Proper Instructions are received by the Bank at least two business days prior to the date required for tender, and unless the Bank (or its agent or subcustodian hereunder) has actual possession of such Security at least two business days prior to the date of tender; (c) Upon conversion of Portfolio Securities pursuant to their terms into other securities; (d) For the purpose of redeeming in-kind shares of the Fund upon authorization from the Fund; (e) In the case of option contracts owned by the Fund, for presentation to the endorsing broker; (f) When such Portfolio Securities are called, redeemed or retired or otherwise become payable; (g) For the purpose of effectuating the pledge of Portfolio Securities held by the Bank in order to collateralize loans made to the Fund by any bank, including the Bank; provided, however, that such Portfolio Securities will be released only upon payment to the Bank for the account of the Fund of the moneys borrowed, provided further, however, that in cases where additional collateral is required to secure a borrowing already made, and such fact is made to appear in the Proper Instructions, Portfolio Securities may be released for that purpose without any such payment. In the event that any pledged Portfolio Securities are held by the Bank, they will be so held for the account of the lender, and after notice to the Fund from the lender in accordance with the normal procedures of the lender and any loan agreement between the fund and the lender that an event of deficiency or default on the loan has occurred, the Bank may deliver such pledged Portfolio Securities to or for the account of the lender; (h) for the purpose of releasing certificates representing Portfolio Securities, against contemporaneous receipt by the Bank of the fair market value of such security, as set forth in the Proper Instructions received by the Bank before such payment is made; (i) for the purpose of delivering securities lent by the Fund to a bank or broker dealer, but only against receipt in accordance with street delivery custom except as otherwise provided herein, of adequate collateral as agreed upon from time to time by the Fund and the Bank, and upon receipt of payment in connection with any repurchase agreement relating to such securities entered into by the Fund; (j) for other authorized transactions of the Fund or for other proper corporate purposes; provided that before making such transfer, the Bank will also receive a certified copy of resolutions of the Board, signed by an authorized officer of the Fund (other than the officer certifying such resolution) and certified by its Secretary or Assistant Secretary, specifying the Portfolio Securities to be delivered, setting forth the transaction in or purpose for which such delivery is to be made, declaring such transaction to be an authorized transaction of the Fund or such purpose to be a proper corporate purpose, and naming the person or persons to whom delivery of such securities shall be made; and (k) upon termination of this Agreement as hereinafter set forth pursuant to Section 8 and Section 16 of this Agreement. As to any deliveries made by the Bank pursuant to this Section 6.12, securities or cash receivable in exchange therefor shall be delivered to the Bank.
Registration and Transfer of Securities All Securities held for the Fund that are issued or issuable only in bearer form shall be held by the Custodian in that form, provided that any such Securities shall be held in a Book-Entry System if eligible therefor. All other Securities held for the Fund may be registered in the name of the Fund, the Custodian, a Sub-Custodian or any nominee thereof, or in the name of a Book-Entry System, Securities Depository or any nominee of either thereof. The records of the Custodian with respect to foreign securities of the Fund that are maintained with a Sub-Custodian in an account that is identified as belonging to the Custodian for the benefit of its customers shall identify those securities as belonging to the Fund. The Trust shall furnish to the Custodian appropriate instruments to enable the Custodian to hold or deliver in proper form for transfer, or to register in the name of any of the nominees referred to above or in the name of a Book-Entry System or Securities Depository, any Securities registered in the name of the Fund.

The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. The Trust Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights and when issued and delivered to Securityholders against payment of the purchase price therefor will be fully paid and nonassessable by the Trust.

(b) For so long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon a Debenture Event of Default, the Debenture Trustee fails or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures fail to declare the principal of all of the Debentures to be immediately due and payable, the Holders of at least 25% in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then Outstanding shall have such right by a notice in writing to the Depositor and the Debenture Trustee; and upon any such declaration such principal amount of and the accrued interest on all of the Debentures shall become immediately due and payable, provided that the payment of principal and interest on such Debentures shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in the Indenture. At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Debentures has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Debenture Trustee as in the Indenture provided, the Holders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, by written notice to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Debenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: (i) the Depositor has paid or deposited with the Debenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all overdue installments of interest (including any Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture)) on all of the Debentures, (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Debentures which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Debentures, and (C) all sums paid or advanced by the Debenture Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Debenture Trustee and the Property Trustee, their agents and counsel; and (ii) all Events of Default with respect to the Debentures, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Debentures which has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13
Transfers of Securities representing Voting Power (assuming the conversion of all Convertible Preferred Stock to be transferred) of 5.0% or more pursuant to the following procedure (the "Sale Option"): (i) If a member of the Stockholder Group (the "Seller") determines that it wishes to seek a buyer for any of the Securities in a transaction that would result in a purchaser other than a member of the Stockholder Group holding 5.0% or more of the Voting Power (assuming the conversion of all Convertible Preferred Stock to be transferred), Seller shall provide written notice (a "Sale Notice") of its intention to sell such Securities (the "Sale Securities"). The Sale Notice shall specify the number of Sale Securities and the cash price per share at which the Company or its designee may purchase the Sale Securities. (ii) The Company shall give notice to the Seller within 15 days of receiving the Sale Notice of whether the Company intends to purchase the Sale Securities, and if the Company elects to purchase such Sale Securities, the Company shall have a period ending on the later of fifteen (15) days after the date of the Sale Notice and five (5) days from the date of receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals (the "Sale Period") (provided, that in no event shall the Sale Period exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) within which to effect a closing of the Company's or its designee's purchase of all, but not less than all, of the Sale Securities. (iii) If the Company or its designee shall not give the Seller notice of its election to purchase the Sale Securities within the specified period or shall for any reason fail to effect a closing of the purchase of all of the Sale Securities within the Sale Period, the Seller shall have the right, for a period of one year following such notice of election not to purchase or failure to purchase, to sell all or part of such Sale Securities to any other person for a price equal to or exceeding the price specified in the Sale Notice; provided however that before the Seller may sell the Sale Securities to any such person pursuant to this Section 3.4(b), such person shall have entered into a stockholders agreement containing substantially the same terms as this Agreement, except for Sections 4.1 and 4.2 hereto.
Control by Securityholders The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.04, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or subject the Trustee in its sole discretion to personal liability. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed, subject to the Trustee’s duties under the Trust Indenture Act, would involve the Trustee in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the Securityholders not involved in the proceeding. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding affected thereby, determined in accordance with Section 8.04, may on behalf of the holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained herein or established pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due by the terms of such Securities otherwise than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal and any premium has been deposited with the Trustee (in accordance with Section 6.01(c)). Upon any such waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Control by Holders of Securities The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto, provided that (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or with the Securities of such series, (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and (3) such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of the other Holders of Securities of such series not joining in such action.
