Optional Redemption (a) Except as set forth in subparagraphs (b) and (c) of this Paragraph 5, the Issuer will not have the option to redeem the 2019 Notes prior to June 1, 2014. On or after June 1, 2014, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the 2019 Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 2019 Notes redeemed to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on June 1 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date: Year Percentage 2014 103.000 % 2015 101.500 % 2016 and thereafter 100.000 % Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the 2019 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 5, at any time prior to June 1, 2014, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of 2019 Notes issued under the Indenture (including any additional notes issued after the Issue Date) at a redemption price of 106.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that (1) at least 65% in aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes issued under the Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption and (2) that such redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering. (c) At any time prior to June 1, 2014, the Issuer may also redeem all or a part of the 2019 Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of 2019 Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including, the date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of 2019 Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.
Special Optional Redemption In the event of a Change of Control, the Issuer will have the option to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control has occurred for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but not including, the redemption date. If the Issuer exercises its redemption right, by sending the required notice, with respect to some or all of the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will not be permitted to exercise the conversion rights described below in respect of any Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption.
Optional Redemption of Notes (a) The Issuer shall have the right to redeem the Notes at its option and in its sole discretion at any time or from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, in whole or in part. Prior to the Par Call Date, the redemption price (“Redemption Price”) will equal the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) that would be due if the Notes matured on the Par Call Date, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the Issuer will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such interest payment date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date (instead of the Holder surrendering its Notes for redemption). If the Notes are redeemed on or after the Par Call Date, the Redemption Price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. (b) The Issuer shall not redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01(a) hereof on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such an acceleration has not been rescinded or cured on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Issuer in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to the Notes to be redeemed).
Purchase and Redemption of Fund Shares 1.1 The Fund and the Underwriter agree to sell to the Company those shares of the Portfolios which the Company orders on behalf of any Separate Account, executing such orders on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt and acceptance by the Fund or its designee of such order. For purposes of this Section, the Company shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of such orders from each Separate Account. Receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that the Fund or the Underwriter receives notice of such order via the National Securities Clearing Corporation (the "NSCC") by 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the next following Business Day. The Fund will receive all orders to purchase Portfolio shares using the NSCC's Defined Contribution Clearance & Settlement ("DCC&S") platform. The Fund will also provide the Company with account positions and activity data using the NSCC's Networking platform. The Company shall pay for Portfolio shares by the scheduled close of federal funds transmissions on the same Business Day it places an order to purchase Portfolio shares in accordance with this section using the NSCC's Fund/SERV System. Payment shall be in federal funds transmitted by wire from the Fund's designated Settling Bank to the NSCC. "BUSINESS DAY" shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates it net asset value pursuant to the rules of the SEC. "NETWORKING" shall mean the NSCC's product that allows Fund's and Companies to exchange account level information electronically. "SETTLING BANK" shall mean the entity appointed by the Fund to perform such settlement services on behalf of the Fund and agrees to abide by the NSCC's Rules and Procedures insofar as they relate to the same day funds settlement.
