CLASS DESIGNATIONS Sample Clauses

The CLASS DESIGNATIONS clause defines and categorizes different groups or classes of shares, interests, or participants within an agreement or organization. It typically outlines the rights, privileges, and obligations associated with each class, such as voting power, dividend entitlements, or priority in distributions. By clearly distinguishing between classes, this clause ensures that all parties understand their respective roles and benefits, thereby preventing disputes and promoting transparency in governance or ownership structures.

  • Designation of Trust and Certificates The Trust created hereby shall be known as the "Corporate Backed Trust Certificates, AT&T Note-Backed Series 2003-18 Trust." The Certificates evidencing certain undivided ownership interests therein shall be known as "Corporate Backed Trust Certificates, AT&T Note-Backed Series 2003-18." The Certificates shall consist of the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class A-2 Certificates (together, the "Certificates"). The Trust is also issuing call warrants with respect to the Certificates ("Call Warrants"). (a) The Class A-1 Certificates shall be held through the Depository in book-entry form and shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1. The Class A-2 Certificates shall initially be held through the Depository in book-entry form and, as set forth in Section 3(e) below, shall be held subsequent to the Closing Date in physical form or through the Depository in book-entry form and shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2. The Class A-1 Certificates shall be issued in denominations of $25. The Class A-2 Certificates shall be issued in minimum notional denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof; provided, however, that on any Call Date on which a Warrant Holder shall concurrently exchange Called Certificates for a distribution of Underlying Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 hereof, Called Certificates may be issued in other denominations. Except as provided in the Standard Terms and in paragraph (d) in this Section, the Trust shall not issue additional Certificates or additional Call Warrants or incur any indebtedness. (b) The Class A-1 Certificates shall consist initially of 1,600,000 Certificates having an initial aggregate certificate principal balance (the "Certificate Principal Balance") of $40,000,000. The Class A-2 Certificates are interest-only Certificates and shall have an initial aggregate notional amount equal to the initial Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates. (c) The holders of the Class A-1 Certificates will be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date the interest, if any, received on the Underlying Securities, to the extent necessary to pay interest at the applicable Class A-1 Rate on the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates. The holders of the Class A-2 Certificates will be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date the interest, if any, received on the Underlying Securities, to the extent necessary to pay interest at a rate of 1.625% per annum (the "Class A-2 Rate") on the outstanding notional amount of the Class A-2 Certificates, which notional amount shall be equal to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates. On the Distribution Date occurring in May 2004, the Trustee shall cause the Trust to pay to the Depositor the amount of interest accrued and paid on the Underlying Securities from November 15, 2003, to but not including the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the event an Optional Exchange Date shall occur prior to the Distribution Date in May 2004, a pro rata portion of such amount shall be paid to the Depositor on the Optional Exchange Date in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(b)(ix) hereof. If the Depositor is not paid any such amount on such date, it shall have a claim for such amount. If Available Funds are insufficient to pay such amount, the Trustee will pay the Depositor its pro rata share, based on the ratio the amount owed to the Depositor bears to all amounts owed on the Certificates in respect of accrued interest, of any proceeds from the recovery on the Underlying Securities. (d) The Depositor may sell to the Trustee additional Underlying Securities on any date hereafter upon at least 3 Business Days' notice to the Trustee (or such shorter period as shall be mutually satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee) and upon (i) satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition and (ii) delivery of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the sale of such additional Underlying Securities will not cause the Trust to be taxed as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. Each condition to be satisfied with respect to a sale of Underlying Securities on or prior to the Closing Date shall be satisfied with respect to a sale of additional Underlying Securities no later than the date of sale thereof, each representation and warranty set forth in the Standard Terms to be made on the Closing Date shall be made on such date of sale, and from and after such date of sale, all Underlying Securities held by the Trustee shall be held on the same terms and conditions. Upon such sale to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deposit such additional Underlying Securities in the Certificate Account, and shall authenticate and deliver to the Depositor, on its order, Class A-1 Certificates in a Certificate Principal Balance, and Class A-2 Certificates in a notional amount, equal to the principal amount of such additional Underlying Securities, and Call Warrants related thereto. Any such additional Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates authenticated and delivered shall have the same terms and rank pari passu with the corresponding classes of Certificates previously issued in accordance with this Series Supplement. (e) No Class A-2 Certificate may be offered, resold, assigned or otherwise transferred (including by pledge or hypothecation) at any time prior to (x) the date which is two years, or such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, after the later of the original issue date of such Class A-2 Certificates and the last date on which the Depositor or any "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Depositor was the owner of such Class A-2 Certificates (or any predecessor thereto) or (y) such later date, if any, as may be required by a change in applicable securities laws (the "Resale Restriction Termination Date") unless such offer, resale, assignment or transfer is (i) to the Trust, (ii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (iii) to a qualified institutional buyer (a "QIB"), as such term is defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A"), in accordance with Rule 144A or (iv) pursuant to another available exemption from registration provided under the Securities Act (including transfers to Accredited Investors), and, in each of cases (i) through (iv), in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and other jurisdictions. Prior to any offer, resale, assignment or transfer of any Class A-2 Certificates in the manner described in clause (iii) above, the prospective transferee and the prospective transferor shall be required to deliver to the Trustee an executed copy of an Investment Letter with respect to the Class A-2 Certificates to be transferred substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and in the event the resale, assignment or transfer shall involve Class A-2 Certificates then being held in physical form, such A-2 Certificates shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and the Trustee shall instruct the Depository to increase the aggregate notional amount of the Class A-2 Certificates held in book-entry form by an amount equal to the aggregate notional amount of Class A-2 Certificates so resold, assigned or transferred and to issue a beneficial interest in such global Class A-2 Certificates to such transferee. Prior to any offer, resale, assignment or transfer of any Class A-2 Certificates in the manner described in clause (iv) above, the prospective transferee and the prospective transferor shall be required to deliver to the Trustee documentation certifying that the offer, resale, assignment or transfer complies with the provisions of said clause (iv) and, in the event any such Class A-2 Certificate shall then be held in book-entry form and such resale, assignment or transfer shall be to an Accredited Investor that is not a QIB, the Trustee shall instruct the Depository to decrease the aggregate notional amount of the Class A-2 Certificates held in book-entry form and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Class A-2 Certificates in physical form in an aggregate notional amount equal to the amount of Class A-2 Certificates resold, assigned or transferred. In addition to the foregoing, each prospective transferee of any Class A-2 Certificates in the manner contemplated by clause (iii) above shall acknowledge, represent and agree as follows: (1) The transferee (x) is a QIB, (y) is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and (z) is acquiring such Class A-2 Certificates for its own account or for the account of a QIB. (2) The transferee understands that the Class A-2 Certificates are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act, and that the Class A-2 Certificates have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act. (3) The transferee agrees that (A) if in the future it decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Class A-2 Certificates prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, such Class A-2 Certificates shall only be offered, resold, assigned or otherwise transferred (i) to the Trust, (ii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (iii) to a QIB, in accordance with Rule 144A or (iv) pursuant to another available exemption from registration provided under the Securities Act (including any transfer to an Accredited Investor), and, in each of cases (i) through (iv), in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and other jurisdictions and (B) the transferee will, and each subsequent holder is required to, notify any subsequent purchaser of such Class A-2 Certificates from it of the resale restrictions referred to in clause (A) above. (f) The Class A-2 Certificates will, unless otherwise agreed by the Depositor and the Trustee, bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "THIS CLASS A-2 CERTIFICATE (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT IS IN EFFECT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SUCH ACT. THE CLASS A-2 CERTIFICATE REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE SERIES SUPPLEMENT. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS CLASS A-2 CERTIFICATE IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS CLASS A-2 CERTIFICATE MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER."

  • Determination of Pass-Through Rates for COFI Certificates The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of COFI Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period after the initial Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Trustee as provided below on the basis of the Index and the applicable formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the COFI Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement. Except as provided below, with respect to each Interest Accrual Period following the initial Interest Accrual Period, the Trustee shall not later than two Business Days prior to such Interest Accrual Period but following the publication of the applicable Index determine the Pass-Through Rate at which interest shall accrue in respect of the COFI Certificates during the related Interest Accrual Period. Except as provided below, the Index to be used in determining the respective Pass-Through Rates for the COFI Certificates for a particular Interest Accrual Period shall be COFI for the second calendar month preceding the Outside Reference Date for such Interest Accrual Period. If at the Outside Reference Date for any Interest Accrual Period, COFI for the second calendar month preceding such Outside Reference Date has not been published, the Trustee shall use COFI for the third calendar month preceding such Outside Reference Date. If COFI for neither the second nor third calendar months preceding any Outside Reference Date has been published on or before the related Outside Reference Date, the Index for such Interest Accrual Period and for all subsequent Interest Accrual Periods shall be the National Cost of Funds Index for the third calendar month preceding such Interest Accrual Period (or the fourth preceding calendar month if such National Cost of Funds Index for the third preceding calendar month has not been published by such Outside Reference Date). In the event that the National Cost of Funds Index for neither the third nor fourth calendar months preceding an Interest Accrual Period has been published on or before the related Outside Reference Date, then for such Interest Accrual Period and for each succeeding Interest Accrual Period, the Index shall be LIBOR, determined in the manner set forth below. With respect to any Interest Accrual Period for which the applicable Index is LIBOR, LIBOR for such Interest Accrual Period will be established by the Trustee on the related Interest Determination Date as provided in Section 4.08. In determining LIBOR and any Pass-Through Rate for the COFI Certificates or any Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the offered quotations (whether written, oral or on the Reuters Screen) from the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to LIBOR or the Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in effect from time to time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the Trustee's selection of New York City banks for purposes of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations from the Reference Banks or the New York City banks or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this Section 4.07. The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the COFI Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.
