Conversion to Open-End Company Section 3. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Declaration or the Bylaws, the conversion of the Trust or any series of Shares from a “closed-end company” to an “open-end company,” as those terms are defined in Sections 5(a)(2) and 5(a)(1), respectively, of the 1940 Act (as in effect on the date of this Declaration), together with any necessary amendments to this Declaration to permit such a conversion, shall require the affirmative vote or consent of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of each class of Shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the matter, unless a majority of the Trustees and seventy-five percent (75%) of the Continuing Trustees entitled to vote on the matter approve such conversion and related actions. In the event of such approval by the Trustees and the Continuing Trustees as referred to in the preceding sentence, the 1940 Act shall govern whether and to what extent a vote or consent of Shares shall be required to approve such conversion and related actions. Any affirmative vote or consent required under this Section 3 shall be in addition to the vote or consent of the Shareholders otherwise required by law or by any agreement between the Trust and any national securities exchange.
Accession to Guaranty The New Guarantor hereby agrees that it is a “Guarantor” under that certain Guaranty dated as of November 20, 2012 (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”), made by the Guarantors party thereto in favor of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the other Guarantied Parties, and assumes all obligations of a “Guarantor” thereunder and agrees to be bound thereby, all as if the New Guarantor had been an original signatory to the Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the New Guarantor hereby:
Deemed Payment of Principal and Interest; Settlement of Accrued Interest Notwithstanding Conversion If a Holder converts a Note, then the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate to account for any accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, and, except as provided in Section 5.02(D), the Company’s delivery of the Conversion Consideration due in respect of such conversion will be deemed to fully satisfy and discharge the Company’s obligation to pay the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, such Note to, but excluding the Conversion Date. As a result, except as provided in Section 5.02(D), any accrued and unpaid interest on a converted Note will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. In addition, subject to Section 5.02(D), if the Conversion Consideration for a Note consists of both cash and shares of Common Stock, then accrued and unpaid interest that is deemed to be paid therewith will be deemed to be paid first out of such cash.
PAYING AGENT AND CONVERSION AGENT TO HOLD PROPERTY IN TRUST The Company will require each Paying Agent or Conversion Agent that is not the Trustee to agree in writing that such Note Agent will (A) hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money and other property held by such Note Agent for payment or delivery due on the Notes; and (B) notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment or delivery. The Company, at any time, may, and the Trustee, while any Default continues, may, require a Paying Agent or Conversion Agent to pay or deliver, as applicable, all money and other property held by it to the Trustee, after which payment or delivery, as applicable, such Note Agent (if not the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) will have no further liability for such money or property. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, then (A) it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money and other property held by it as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent; and (B) references in this Indenture or the Notes to the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent holding cash or other property, or to the delivery of cash or other property to the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, in each case for payment or delivery to any Holders or the Trustee or with respect to the Notes, will be deemed to refer to cash or other property so segregated and held separately, or to the segregation and separate holding of such cash or other property, respectively. Upon the occurrence of any event pursuant to clause (viii) or (ix) of Section 7.01(A) with respect to the Company (or with respect to any Subsidiary of the Company acting as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent), the Trustee will serve as the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, for the Notes.
Initial Advance to Each Designated Subsidiary The obligation of each Lender to make an initial Advance to each Designated Subsidiary is subject to the receipt by the Agent on or before the date of such initial Advance of each of the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and dated such date:
Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Trustee Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 5.08, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities of any series shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Securities of any series shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities of such series or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities of any series in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.
Optional Redemption at Election of Company Subject to the provisions of this Section 6, the Company may deliver a notice to the Holder (an “Optional Redemption Notice” and the date such notice is deemed delivered hereunder, the “Optional Redemption Notice Date”) of its irrevocable election to redeem some or all of the then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture for cash in an amount equal to the Optional Redemption Amount on the 10th Business Day following the Optional Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Optional Redemption Date” and such redemption, the “Optional Redemption”). The Optional Redemption Amount is payable in full on the Optional Redemption Date. The Company may not deliver an Optional Redemption Notice if there is an existing Event of Default or an existing event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, would constitute an Event of Default. If any portion of the payment pursuant to an Optional Redemption shall not be paid by the Company on the applicable due date, interest shall accrue thereon at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until such amount is paid in full. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if any portion of the Optional Redemption Amount remains unpaid after such date, the Holder may elect, by written notice to the Company given at any time thereafter, to invalidate such Optional Redemption, ab initio, and, with respect to the Company’s failure to honor the Optional Redemption, the Company shall have no further right to exercise such Optional Redemption. The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered from the time of delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice through the date all amounts owing thereon are due and paid in full.
Deposit of Note Redemption Price The Issuer will cause the Servicer to deposit on the Business Day before the Redemption Date (or, with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, on the Redemption Date) in the Collection Account the amount required under Section 8.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and the Notes will be paid in full on the Redemption Date.
Deposit of Repayment Price On or prior to any Optional Repayment Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money sufficient to pay the optional repayment price, and accrued interest thereon to such date, of all the Book-Entry Notes or portions thereof which are to be repaid on such date. The Trustee will use such money to repay such Book-Entry Notes pursuant to the terms set forth in such Notes. Procedure for Rate Setting and Posting: The Company and the Agent will discuss from time to time the aggregate principal amount of, the issuance price of, and the interest rates to be borne by, Book-Entry Notes that may be sold as a result of the solicitation of orders by the Agent. If the Company decides to set prices of, and rates borne by, any Book-Entry Notes in respect of which the Agent is to solicit orders (the setting of such prices and rates to be referred to herein as “posting”) or if the Company decides to change prices or rates previously posted by it, it will promptly advise the Agent of the prices and rates to be posted. Acceptance and Rejection of Orders: Unless otherwise instructed by the Company, the Agents will advise the Company promptly by telephone or other means of electronic communication of all orders to purchase Book-Entry Notes received by the Agents, other than those rejected by it in whole or in part in the reasonable exercise of its discretion. Unless otherwise agreed by the Company and any Agent, the Company has the right to accept orders to purchase Book-Entry Notes and may reject any such orders in whole or in part. Preparation of Pricing Supplement: If any order to purchase a Book-Entry Note is accepted by or on behalf of the Company, the Company will prepare a final pricing supplement or prospectus supplement (a “Final Supplement”) reflecting the terms of such Book-Entry Note, will file such Final Supplement with the Commission in accordance with the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, will deliver such number of copies thereof to the Agent as the Agent shall request. If required, the Agent will file such Final Supplement with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and cause a Final Prospectus, including such Final Supplement, to be delivered to the purchaser of such Book-Entry Note or otherwise will comply with the requirements of Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act. In each instance that a Final Supplement is prepared, the Agents will affix or attach the Final Supplement to the MTN Prospectus and other applicable Supplement(s) prior to their use. Outdated Final Supplements, MTN Prospectus and any other applicable Supplement(s) to which they are attached (other than those retained for files) will be destroyed. If requested, hard copies of the appropriate number of Final Prospectuses, including the Final Supplement, shall be delivered to the Agent at the addresses designated by such Agent on the Business Day following the acceptance of an offer by or on behalf of the Company.
