Disposal of Subsidiary Stock Except for any sale of any Regulatory Shares or all of the Capital Stock of a Subsidiary owned by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, in each case in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.03 hereof, Borrower shall not directly or indirectly sell, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber or dispose of any shares of Capital Stock or other equity securities of any of its Subsidiaries, except to qualify directors if required by applicable law; or permit any of its Subsidiaries directly or indirectly to sell, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber or dispose of any shares of Capital Stock or other equity securities of any of its Subsidiaries (including such Subsidiary), except to Borrower, a Subsidiary Loan Party, or to qualify directors if required by applicable law.
Transfers of Partnership Interests Except as the Partners may otherwise agree from time to time, a Partner may not Transfer all or any part of its Partnership Interest without the Consent of each other Partner, which Consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of each such other Partner.
Transfers of Membership Interests 8.1. A Member may withdraw from the Company at any time by giving Notice of withdrawal to the Manager at least 180 calendar days before the effective date of withdrawal. Withdrawal will not release a Member from any obligations and liabilities under this Agreement accrued or incurred before the effective date of withdrawal. A withdrawing Member will divest the Member’s entire Membership Interest before the effective date of withdrawal in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Article VIII.
8.2. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, a Member will not Transfer any part of the Member’s Membership Interest in the Company, whether now owned or later acquired, unless: (a) the other Members unanimously approve the transferee’s admission to the Company as a Member on that Transfer; and (b) the Membership Interest to be Transferred, when added to the total of all other Membership Interests Transferred in the preceding 12 months, will not cause the termination of the Company under the Code. No Member may Encumber or permit or suffer any Encumbrance of all or any part of the Member’s Membership Interest in the Company unless the Encumbrance has been approved in writing by the Manager. Approval may be granted or withheld in the Manager’s sole discretion. Any Transfer or Encumbrance of a Membership Interest without that approval will be void. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, a Member who is a natural person may Transfer all or any portion of his or her Membership Interest to any revocable trust created for the benefit of the Member, or any combination between or among the Member, the Member’s spouse, and the Member’s issue, provided that the Member retains a beneficial interest in the trust and all of the Voting Interest included in the Membership Interest. A Transfer of a Member’s beneficial interest in the trust, or failure to retain the Voting Interest, will be deemed a Transfer of a Membership Interest.
8.3. If a Member wishes to Transfer any or all of the Member’s Membership Interest in the Company under a Bona Fide Offer (as defined below), the Member will give Notice to the Manager at least 30 days in advance of the proposed sale or Transfer, indicating the terms of the Bona Fide Offer and the identity of the offeror. The Company and the other Members will have the option to purchase the Membership Interest proposed to be transferred at the price and on the terms provided in this Agreement. If the price for the Membership Interest is other than cash, the fair value in dollars of the price will be as established in good faith by the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “Bona Fide Offer” means an offer in writing setting forth all relevant terms and conditions of purchase from an offeror who is ready, willing, and able to consummate the purchase and who is not an Affiliate of the selling Member. For 30 days after the Notice is given, the Company will have the right to purchase the Membership Interest offered, on the terms stated in the Notice, for the lesser of: (a) the price stated in the Notice (or the price plus the dollar value of noncash consideration, as the case may be); and (b) the price determined under the appraisal procedures set forth in Section 8.8. If the Company does not exercise the right to purchase all of the Membership Interest, then, with respect to the portion of the Membership Interest that the Company does not elect to purchase, that right will be given to the other Members for an additional 30-day period, beginning on the day that the Company’s right to purchase expires. Each of the other Members will have the right to purchase, on the same terms, a part of the interest of the offering Member in the proportion that the Member’s Percentage Interest bears to the total Percentage Interests of all of the Members who choose to participate in the purchase; provided, however, that the Company and the participating Members may not, in the aggregate, purchase less than the entire interest to be sold by the offering Member. If the Company and the other Members do not exercise their rights to purchase all of the Membership Interest, the offering Member may, within 90 days from the date the Notice is given and on the terms and conditions stated in the Notice, sell or exchange that Membership Interest to the offeror named in the Notice. Unless the requirements of Section 8.2 are met, the offeror under this Section 8.3 will become an Assignee, and will be entitled to receive only the share of Profits or other compensation and the return of Capital Contribution to which the assigning Member would have been entitled.
Disposal of Subsidiary Interests Except for any sale of all of its interests in the Equity Interests of any of its Subsidiaries in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.9 and except for Liens securing the Obligations, no Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, (a) directly or indirectly sell, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber or dispose of any Equity Interests of any of its Subsidiaries, except to qualify directors if required by Applicable Laws; or (b) permit any of its Subsidiaries directly or indirectly to sell, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber or dispose of any Equity Interests of any of its Subsidiaries, except to another Credit Party (subject to the restrictions on such disposition otherwise imposed hereunder), or to qualify directors if required by Applicable Laws.
Stock of Subsidiaries Permit any of its Subsidiaries to issue any additional shares of its capital stock except director's qualifying shares.
Capital Stock of Subsidiaries All of the outstanding capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest in, each Subsidiary of the Company (i) has been duly authorized, validly issued and is fully paid and nonassessable; and (ii) except for director’s qualifying or similar shares, is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, free and clear of all liens (other than Permitted Liens) and any other restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such capital stock or other equity or voting interest) that would prevent such Subsidiary from conducting its business as of the Effective Time in substantially the same manner that such business is conducted on the date of this Agreement.
Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries (a) Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein) complete and correct lists of the Company’s Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries as of the Execution Date, showing, as to each Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization and, with respect to each Material Subsidiary, the percentage of shares of each class of its Capital Stock outstanding owned by the Company and each other Subsidiary.
(b) All of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock of each Subsidiary owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Company or another Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien (except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 5.4).
(c) Each Subsidiary is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.
(d) No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to, any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other than this Agreement, the agreements listed on Schedule 5.4 and customary limitations imposed by corporate law or similar statutes) restricting its ability to make Restricted Payments to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of Capital Stock of such Subsidiary, except for such restrictions that do not impair the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, its obligation to make payments hereunder and under the Notes.
Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock (a) [Reserved].
(b) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Disposition unless:
(1) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at least equal to the fair market value (such fair market value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition), as determined in good faith by an Officer or the Board of Directors of the Issuer, of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if such Asset Disposition is a Permitted Asset Swap); and
(2) in any such Asset Disposition, or series of related Asset Dispositions (except to the extent the Asset Disposition is a Permitted Asset Swap), at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Disposition or such series of related Asset Dispositions (excluding any consideration by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than Indebtedness), together with all other Asset Dispositions since the Issue Date (except to the extent any such Asset Disposition was a Permitted Asset Swap) on a cumulative basis received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or Temporary Cash Investments.
(c) After the receipt of Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply such Net Available Cash directly or indirectly (at the option of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary):
(1) within 365 days from the later of (A) the date of such Asset Disposition and (B) the receipt of such Net Available Cash (i) to prepay, repay, purchase or redeem any Indebtedness incurred under Section 4.04(b)(1) or any Guarantor Indebtedness; provided, however, that, in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 4.08(c)(1)(B)(i), the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related commitment (if any) (except in the case of any revolving Indebtedness) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, purchased or redeemed; (ii) unless included in Section 4.08(c)(1)(B)(i), to prepay, repay, purchase or redeem any Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor, at a price of no more than 100% of the principal amount of such Pari Passu Indebtedness plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such prepayment, repayment, purchase or redemption; provided that the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, shall prepay, redeem, repay or repurchase Pari Passu Indebtedness that is Public Debt pursuant to this clause (ii) only if the Issuer or such Guarantor purchases through open-market purchases at a price equal to or higher than 100% of the principal amount thereof, or makes an offer to the Holders of the Notes to purchase their Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to at least 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) for, in each case, an aggregate principal amount of Notes at least equal to the proportion that (x) the total aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding bears to (y) the sum of the total aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding plus the total aggregate principal amount outstanding of such Pari Passu Indebtedness; (iii) to prepay, repay, purchase or redeem any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor or any Indebtedness that is secured on assets (other than Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor or Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary); (iv) to purchase the Notes through open-market purchases at a price equal to or higher than 100% of the principal amount thereof, or make an offer to all holders of the Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to at least 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) or (v) to redeem the Notes as described under Section 3.07;
(2) to the extent the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary elects, to invest in or purchase or commit to invest in or purchase Additional Assets (including by means of an investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Available Cash received by the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary) within 365 days from the later of (i) the date of such Asset Disposition and (ii) the receipt of such Net Available Cash; provided, however, that any such reinvestment in Additional Assets made pursuant to a definitive binding agreement or a commitment approved by the Board of Directors of the Issuer that is executed or approved within such time will satisfy this requirement, so long as such investment or commitment to invest is consummated within 180 days of such 365th day;
(3) to make a capital expenditure within 365 days from the later of (A) the date of such Asset Disposition and (B) the receipt of such Net Available Cash; provided, however, that any such capital expenditure made pursuant to a definitive binding agreement or a commitment approved by the Board of Directors of the Issuer that is executed or approved within such time will satisfy this requirement, so long as such investment is consummated within 180 days of such 365th day; or
(4) any combination of clauses (1) through (3) of Section 4.08(c), provided that, pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with clauses (1), (2), (3) or (4) of Section 4.08(c), the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.
(d) Any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions that is not applied or invested or committed to be applied or invested as provided in Section 4.08(c) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” On the 366th day (or the 546th day, in the case of any Net Available Cash committed to be used pursuant to a definitive binding agreement or commitment approved by the Board of Directors of the Issuer pursuant to clause (2) or (3) of Section 4.08(c)) after the later of (A) the date of such Asset Disposition and (B) the receipt of such Net Available Cash, if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $100 million, the Issuer will be required within ten (10) Business Days thereof to make an offer (“Asset Disposition Offer”) to all holders of the Notes and, to the extent the Issuer or a Guarantor elects, or the Issuer or a Guarantor is required by the terms of other outstanding Pari Passu Indebtedness, to all holders of such other outstanding Pari Passu Indebtedness to purchase the maximum principal amount of such Notes and any such Pari Passu Indebtedness to which the Asset Disposition Offer applies that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in respect of the Notes in an amount equal to (and, in the case of any Pari Passu Indebtedness, an offer price of no more than) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes and 100% of the principal amount of Pari Passu Indebtedness, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, and in the case of the Notes, in minimum denominations of $200,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. No such purchase in part shall reduce the principal amount at maturity of the Notes held by any holder to below $200,000. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition by making an Asset Disposition Offer with respect to such Net Available Cash prior to the time period that may be required by this Indenture with respect to all or a part of the available Net Available Cash (the “Advance Portion”) in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture (an “Advance Offer”).
(e) [Reserved].
(f) To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries may use any remaining Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion) for general corporate purposes, to the extent not prohibited by the other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of the Notes surrendered in any Asset Disposition Offer by Holders and other Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), the Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion) shall be allocated among the Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness. For the purposes of calculating the principal amount of any such Indebtedness not denominated in dollars, such Indebtedness shall be calculated by converting any such principal amounts into their Dollar Equivalent determined as of a date selected by the Issuer that is within the Asset Disposition Offer Period (as defined below). Upon completion of any Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero, and in the case of an Advance Offer, the amount of Net Available Cash the Issuer is offering to apply in such Advance Offer shall be excluded in subsequent calculations of Excess Proceeds.
(g) To the extent that any portion of Net Available Cash payable in respect of the Notes is denominated in a currency other than dollars, the amount thereof payable in respect of the Notes shall not exceed the net Dollar Equivalent of the amount that is actually received by the Issuer.
(h) The Asset Disposition Offer, in so far as it relates to the Notes, will remain open for a period of not less than 20 Business Days following its commencement or such shorter period of time required to comply with Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with the Asset Disposition Offer (the “Asset Disposition Offer Period”). No later than five (5) Business Days after the termination of the Asset Disposition Offer Period (the “Asset Disposition Purchase Date”), the Issuer will purchase the principal amount of Notes and, to the extent it elects, Pari Passu Indebtedness required to be purchased by it pursuant to this Section 4.08 (the “Asset Disposition Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount has been so validly tendered, all Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness validly tendered in response to the Asset Disposition Offer.
(i) On or before the Asset Disposition Purchase Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Asset Disposition Offer Amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness or portions of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer, or if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount has been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn and, in the case of the Notes, in minimum denominations of $200,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
(j) The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.
Restrictions on Subsidiary Distributions Except as provided herein, no Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the ability of any Subsidiary of Borrower to (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on any of such Subsidiary’s Equity Interests owned by Borrower or any other Subsidiary of Borrower, (b) repay or prepay any Indebtedness owed by such Subsidiary to Borrower or any other Subsidiary of Borrower, (c) make loans or advances to Borrower or any other Subsidiary of Borrower, or (d) transfer, lease or license any of its property or assets to Borrower or any other Subsidiary of Borrower other than restrictions (i) imposed by law or by any Credit Document, (ii) in agreements evidencing Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.1(k) that impose restrictions on the property so acquired, and any amendments, modifications, extensions or renewals thereof (including any such extension or renewal arising as a result of an extension, renewal or refinancing of any Indebtedness containing such restriction or condition) that do not materially expand the scope of any such restriction or condition taken as a whole, (iii) by reason of customary provisions restricting assignments, subletting or other transfers contained in leases, licenses, Joint Venture agreements and similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business, (iv) that are or were created by virtue of any transfer of, agreement to transfer or option or right with respect to any property, assets or Equity Interests not otherwise prohibited under this Agreement, (v) in the case of any Subsidiary that is not directly or indirectly wholly owned by Borrower, restrictions and conditions imposed by its Organizational Documents or any related joint venture, shareholders’ or similar agreement; provided that such restrictions and conditions apply only to such Subsidiary and to any Equity Interests in such Subsidiary, or (vi) identified on Schedule 6.5, and any amendments, modifications, extensions or renewals thereof (including any such extension or renewal arising as a result of an extension, renewal or refinancing of any Indebtedness containing such restriction or condition) that do not materially expand the scope of any such restriction or condition taken as a whole.
Restrictions on Intercompany Transfers The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary (other than (i) a Warehouse Entity following securitization pursuant to the terms of the securitization documents or (ii) an Excluded Subsidiary holding title assets subject to Secured Indebtedness pursuant to the terms of the Secured Indebtedness documents), to create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the ability of any Subsidiary to: (a) pay dividends or make any other distribution on any of such Subsidiary’s capital stock or other equity interests owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary; (b) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or any Subsidiary; (c) make loans or advances to the Borrower or any Subsidiary; or (d) transfer any of its property or assets to the Borrower or any Subsidiary; other than (i) with respect to clauses (a) through (d) those encumbrances or restrictions (x) contained in any Loan Document or (y) contained in any other agreement that evidences Unsecured Indebtedness containing encumbrances or restrictions on the actions described above that are substantially similar to or less restrictive than those contained in the Loan Documents or, (ii) with respect to clause (d), (x) restrictions contained in any agreement relating to the sale of a Subsidiary (other than the Borrower) or the assets of a Subsidiary pending sale, or relating to Secured Indebtedness secured by a Lien on assets that Spirit REIT, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary may create, incur, assume, or permit or suffer to exist and as permitted by the Loan Documents; provided that in any such case, the restrictions apply only to the Subsidiary or the assets that are the subject of such sale or Lien, as the case may be or (y) customary provisions restricting assignment of any agreement entered into by Spirit REIT, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business.
