Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures Clause Samples

The 'Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures' clause defines how debentures are issued and held, specifying that they will be represented either as a single global certificate or maintained solely through electronic book-entry systems. In practice, this means investors do not receive individual physical certificates; instead, ownership and transfers are recorded electronically, often through a central depository or clearing system. This approach streamlines the administration of debentures, reduces paperwork, and minimizes the risk of loss or forgery of physical certificates, thereby enhancing efficiency and security in the management of debt securities.
Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures. (a) With respect to each series of Debentures issuable in whole or in part as one or more Global Debentures or as Book Based Only Debentures, the Corporation shall cause to be kept by and at the principal offices of the Trustee in the City of Vancouver or the City of Toronto, Ontario and by the Trustee or such other registrar as the Corporation, with the approval of the Trustee, may appoint at such other place or places, if any, as the Corporation may designate with the approval of the Trustee, a register in which shall be entered the name and address of the holder of each such Global Debenture or Book Based Only Debenture (being the Depository, or its nominee, for such Global Debenture or Book Based Only Debenture) as holder thereof and particulars of the Global Debenture or Book Based Only Debenture held by it, and of all transfers thereof. If any Debentures of such series are at any time not Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures, the provisions of Section 3.1 shall govern with respect to registrations and transfers of such Debentures. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, a Global Debenture or Book Based Only Debenture may not be transferred by the registered holder thereof and accordingly, no definitive certificates shall be issued to Beneficial Holders except in the following circumstances or as otherwise specified in a resolution of the Directors, an Officer’s Certificate or a supplemental indenture relating to a particular series of Additional Debentures: (i) Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures may be transferred by a Depository to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of a Depository to such Depository or to another nominee of such Depository or by a Depository or its nominee to a successor Depository or its nominee; (ii) Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures may be transferred at any time after (i) the Depository for such Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures, as the case may be, or the Corporation has notified the Trustee that the Depository is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures, or (ii) the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency or otherwise ceases to be eligible to be a Depository under Section 2.6, provided in each case that at the time of such transfer the Trustee and the Corporation are unable to locate a qualified successor Depository for such Global Debentures or Book Based Only Debentures; (iii) Glob...
