Investment Securities Each of the Company and its subsidiaries has good and marketable title to all securities held by it (except securities sold under repurchase agreements or held in any fiduciary or agency capacity) free and clear of any lien, claim, charge, option, encumbrance, mortgage, pledge or security interest or other restriction of any kind, except to the extent such securities are pledged in the ordinary course of business consistent with prudent business practices to secure obligations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and except for such defects in title or liens, claims, charges, options, encumbrances, mortgages, pledges or security interests or other restrictions of any kind that would not be material to the Company and its subsidiaries. Such securities are valued on the books of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP.
Replacement Securities If the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Corporation may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security of the same series with identical terms as the Securities exchanged if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code (or any successor provision) are met. Such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Corporation and the Trustee to protect the Corporation, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Corporation and the Trustee may charge for their expenses in replacing a Security. In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become due and payable, the Corporation in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security (without surrender thereof, except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Corporation, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar for such Security such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, and in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Corporation, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar, and any agent of any of them, of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and the ownership thereof. Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Corporation may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses in connection therewith (including all fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar for such Security). Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for any mutilated Security, shall constitute an original additional obligation of the Corporation, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series. The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.
Placement Securities The Placement Securities have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance and when issued and paid for, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; the Placement Securities are not and will not be subject to the preemptive rights of any holders of any security of the Company or similar contractual rights granted by the Company; and all corporate actions required to be taken for the authorization, issuance and sale of the Placement Securities have been duly and validly taken. When issued, the Placement Warrants will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company to issue and sell, upon exercise thereof and payment of the exercise price therefor, the number and type of securities of the Company called for thereby in accordance with the terms thereof, and such Placement Warrants are enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except: (i) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally; (ii) as enforceability of any indemnification or contribution provision may be limited under federal and state securities laws; and (iii) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. The shares of Common Stock underlying the Placement Warrants have been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants and, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Placement Warrants, will be duly and validly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and the holders thereof are not and will not be subject to personal liability by reason of being such holders.
