Sales and Redemptions A provisional credit of an amount equal to the net sale price for a sale or redemption of securities or other financial assets shall be made to the account of the Portfolio as if the amount had been received as of the close of business on the date on which good funds would ordinarily be immediately available in the applicable market. The provisional credit will be made conditional upon the Custodian having received Proper Instructions with respect to, or reasonable notice of, the transaction, as applicable; and the Custodian or its agent having possession of the securities of other financial assets (excluding financial assets subject to any third party lending arrangement entered into by a Portfolio) associated with the transaction in good deliverable form and not being aware of any facts which would lead the Custodian or its agent to believe that the transaction will not settle in the time period ordinarily applicable to such transactions in the applicable market.
Special Redemption Principal payments on the Secured Notes shall be made in part in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date (i) during the Reinvestment Period, if the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion notifies the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Special Redemption Date that it has been unable, for a period of at least twenty (20) consecutive Business Days, to identify additional Collateral Obligations that are deemed appropriate by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion and which would satisfy the Investment Criteria in sufficient amounts to permit the investment or reinvestment of all or a portion of the funds then in the Collection Account that are to be invested in additional Collateral Obligations or (ii) after the Effective Date, if the Collateral Manager notifies the Trustee that a redemption is required pursuant to Section 7.18 in order to (A) satisfy the Effective Date S&P Conditions or (B) obtain from S&P its written confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Secured Notes (each of (i) and (ii), a “Special Redemption”). On the first Payment Date following the Collection Period in which such notice is given (a “Special Redemption Date”), the amount in the Collection Account representing, as applicable, either (i) Principal Proceeds which the Collateral Manager has determined cannot be reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations will be applied as described in Section 11.1(a)(ii)(E), or (ii) Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds available therefor will be applied to pay principal of the Secured Notes in accordance with the Note Payment Sequence as described in Section 11.1(a)(i)(F) and Section 11.1(a)(ii)(C) (but in the case of this clause (ii), only to the extent that the Collateral Manager does not direct that the Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds be allocated to the purchase of additional Collateral Obligations) until the Issuer obtains written confirmation from S&P of the Initial Ratings of the Secured Notes or the Effective Date S&P Conditions have been satisfied (the applicable amount payable under clause (i) or (ii), the “Special Redemption Amount”) will be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Notice of a Special Redemption shall be given by the Trustee not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable Special Redemption Date (x) by email transmission, if available, and otherwise by facsimile, if available, or (y) by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities affected thereby at such Holder’s facsimile number, email address or mailing address in the Register (and, in the case of Global Notes, delivered by electronic transmission to DTC) or the Share Register, as applicable, and to the Rating Agency.
Partial Redemptions, Payments, Etc The Custodian shall promptly advise the Fund or its designee upon its notification of a partial redemption, partial payment or other action with respect to a Security affecting fewer than all such Securities held within the Account. If the Custodian, any Foreign Custodian, Depository or Foreign Depository holds any Securities affected by one of the events described, the Custodian, the Foreign Custodian, Depository or Foreign Depository may select the Securities to participate in such partial redemption, partial payment or other action in any non-discriminatory manner that it customarily uses to make such selection.
Monthly Redemption On each Monthly Redemption Date, the Company shall redeem the Monthly Redemption Amount (the “Monthly Redemption”). The Monthly Redemption Amount payable on each Monthly Redemption Date shall be paid in cash at the rate of 110% of the Monthly Redemption Amount; provided, however, as to any Monthly Redemption and upon 30 Trading Days’ prior written irrevocable notice (the “Monthly Redemption Notice”), in lieu of a cash redemption payment the Company may elect to pay all or part of a Monthly Redemption Amount in Conversion Shares based on a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) the then Conversion Price and (ii) 80% of the average of the VWAPs for the 5 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day that is immediately prior to the applicable Monthly Redemption Date (subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar event affecting the Common Stock during such 5 Trading Day period) (the price calculated during the 5 Trading Day period immediately prior to the Monthly Redemption Date, the “Monthly Conversion Price” and such 5 Trading Day period, the “Monthly Conversion Period”); provided, further, that the Company may not pay the Monthly Redemption Amount in Conversion Shares unless (y) from the date the Holder receives the duly delivered Monthly Redemption Notice through and until the date such Monthly Redemption is paid in full, the Equity Conditions have been satisfied, unless waived in writing by the Holder, and (z) as to such Monthly Redemption, prior to such Monthly Conversion Period (but not more than 5 Trading Days prior to the commencement of the Monthly Conversion Period), the Company shall have delivered to the Holder’s account with The Depository Trust Company a number of shares of Common Stock to be applied against such Monthly Redemption Amount equal to the quotient of (x) the applicable Monthly Redemption Amount divided by (y) the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price and (B) 80% of the average of the 5 VWAPs during the period ending on the 3rd Trading Day immediately prior to the date of the Monthly Redemption Notice (the “Pre-Redemption Conversion Shares”). The Holder may convert, pursuant to Section 4(a), any principal amount of this Debenture subject to a Monthly Redemption at any time prior to the date that the Monthly Redemption Amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and any other amounts then owing to the Holder are due and paid in full. Unless otherwise indicated by the Holder in the applicable Notice of Conversion, any principal amount of this Debenture converted during the applicable Monthly Conversion Period until the date the Monthly Redemption Amount is paid in full shall be first applied to the principal amount subject to the Monthly Redemption Amount payable in cash and then to the Monthly Redemption Amount payable in Conversion Shares. Any principal amount of this Debenture converted during the applicable Monthly Conversion Period in excess of the Monthly Redemption Amount shall be applied against the last principal amount of this Debenture scheduled to be redeemed hereunder, in reverse time order from the Maturity Date; provided, however, if any such conversion is applied against such Monthly Redemption Amount, the Pre-Redemption Conversion Shares, if any were issued in connection with such Monthly Redemption or were not already applied to such conversions, shall be first applied against such conversion. The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered up until such amounts are paid in full. The Company’s determination to pay a Monthly Redemption in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof shall be applied ratably to all of the holders of the then outstanding Debentures based on their (or their predecessor’s) initial purchases of Debentures pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. At any time the Company delivers a notice to the Holder of its election to pay the Monthly Redemption Amount in shares of Common Stock, the Company shall file a prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424 disclosing such election.

No Optional Redemption The Notes shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to the Maturity Date, and no sinking fund is provided for the Notes.
Special Optional Redemption Upon the occurrence of a “Change of Control”, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Series J preferred stock, in whole or in part within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of redemption.
