Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Bonds Clause Samples

The 'Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Bonds' clause defines the procedures and requirements for recording ownership, transferring, and exchanging bond certificates. It typically outlines how bondholders can register their bonds with the issuer or a designated agent, the steps necessary to transfer ownership to another party, and the process for exchanging bonds, such as replacing lost certificates or converting between different denominations. This clause ensures that the issuer maintains accurate records of bond ownership and facilitates smooth transactions, thereby reducing the risk of disputes and ensuring the integrity of the bondholder register.

Related to Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Bonds

  • Registration, Transfer and Exchange The Notes are issuable only in registered form. The Company will keep at the specified office of the Registrar as provided in Section 4.02 (the “Registrar”) a register (the “Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it will register, and will register the transfer of, Notes as provided in this Article. The name and address of the registered holder of each Note and the amount of each Note, and all transfers and exchanges related thereto, will be recorded in the Register. Such Register shall be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable of being converted into such form within a reasonable time. Such Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and the Trustee may request and shall receive copies of such Register at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice. Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Company shall execute and the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount. A Holder may register the transfer of a Note only by written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture. No such registration of transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register. Prior to the registration of any transfer by a Holder as provided herein, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of any of them shall treat the Person in whose name the Note is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes whether or not the Note shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by Euroclear or Clearstream (or their respective agent) and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged to the Registrar. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if the requirements for such transactions set forth herein are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Registrar shall authenticate Notes at the Company’s request. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing in a form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar. The Company or the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange or registration of transfer of Notes (other than any such transfer taxes or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges). No service charge to any Holder shall be made for any such transaction. The Company shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (1) any Notes for a period of 15 days next preceding the first mailing of notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed, (2) any Notes called or being called for redemption or (3) any Notes between any Record Date and the relevant Payment Date. All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Claims against the Company for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, on the Notes will become void unless presentation for payment is made as required in this Indenture within a period of six years.

  • Registration, Transfer and Exchange Generally (a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the “Securities Register”) in which the registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Securities (the “Securities Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Securities. The Trustee shall at all times also be the Securities Registrar. The provisions of Article VI shall apply to the Trustee in its role as Securities Registrar.

(c) At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denominations, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and upon receipt thereof the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. (d) All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. (e) Every Security presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. (f) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Securities. (g) Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.5 to (i) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the day of selection for redemption of Securities pursuant to Article XI and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of the notice of redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any such Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed.

The Company initially designates the Corporate Trust Office as its office and agency for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and to the Holders of any change in the location of any such office or agency.

  • Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes (a) At all times during the term of this Indenture, there shall be maintained at the office of a registrar appointed by the Issuer (the “Note Registrar”) a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Note Registrar may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided. The Indenture Trustee is hereby initially appointed (and hereby agrees to act in accordance with the terms hereof) as Note Registrar for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided. If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor Indenture Trustee shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Note Registrar, absent appointment of any other bank or trust company to act as Note Registrar. (b) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or interest therein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act, regulations promulgated thereunder and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act, regulations promulgated thereunder and such state securities laws. The Notes shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and delivery and the duly completed and executed certification substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto and a duly completed and executed representation substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto. None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar is obligated to register or qualify any Notes under the Securities Act, regulations promulgated thereunder or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note or interest. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of Notes or interests therein shall, and is hereby deemed to have agreed to, indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar against costs, damages, or any other liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. (c) The Note Registrar shall refuse to register any requested transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) a certification from the transferring Holder in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto, and a representation letter from the transferee, in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto, and shall have no duty to determine whether such transfer is so exempt or complies with such federal and state laws. (d) Any purported transfer of a Note to a Person that does not comply with the requirements of this Section 2.04 will be null and void ab initio and the transferor (or the last preceding Holder of such Note (or interest therein)) that was not so disqualified shall be restored to all rights as a Holder thereof retroactively to the date of transfer of such Note by such disqualified transferee. None of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any other Person shall be obligated to register or otherwise recognize such purported transfer of a Note that does not comply with the requirements of this Section 2.04. Without limiting the express obligations of the Note Registrar and Indenture Trustee otherwise set forth in this Section 2.04, nothing herein shall impose an affirmative duty on the Note Registrar or Indenture Trustee to investigate or make other inquiries as to whether a purported transferee has complied with the requirements set forth in this Section 2.04. (e) If a Person is acquiring any Note or interest therein as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to deliver to the Note Registrar a certification to the effect that it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and agreements with respect to each such account as set forth in this Section 2.04 (and upon receipt, the Note Registrar may conclusively rely upon such certification) and shall have no duty to determine whether the Person acquiring such Note or interest therein is such a fiduciary or agent, or has such discretion or power, as the case may be. (f) Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 2.04, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees (and, to the extent that only a portion of the transferring Holder’s Note Balance is being transferred, to the transferring Holder), one or more new Notes of authorized denominations, of a like aggregate Note Balance of the surrendered Note. (g) At the option of any Holder, its Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of a like aggregate Note Balance of the surrendered Notes upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Notes of a like aggregate Note Balance of the surrendered Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. (h) Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The Note Registrar may require any Holder, among other things, to furnish any appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and to have signatures guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” that is a member or participant in a recognized “signature guarantee program” (e.g., the securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the Stock Exchange Medallion Program or the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program). (i) No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may require payment from the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes. (j) All Notes surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be physically canceled by the Note Registrar, and the Note Registrar shall dispose of such canceled Notes in accordance with its standard procedures. (k) The Note Registrar shall provide to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, upon reasonable prior written request, and at the expense of the Issuer, an updated copy of the Note Register. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to obtain a copy thereof within a reasonable amount of time after receipt of notice by the Note Registrar, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Note Registrar as to the information set forth in the Note Register. (l) Neither the Note Registrar nor the Indenture Trustee shall be under any duty to monitor or determine compliance with any federal, state or other securities or tax laws that may be applicable; provided, however, that the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall be under a duty to receive and to examine to determine whether the certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 or the representation letter in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 specifically required by the express terms of this Section 2.04 has been delivered to the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee as a requirement of the registration of a transfer of a Note. (m) The Note Registrar shall be entitled to all of the protections, privileges, limitations on liability, rights of reimbursement and indemnities that the Indenture Trustee is entitled to hereunder as fully as if it were the Indenture Trustee.

  • Transfer and Exchange of Notes Upon surrender of any Note at the principal executive office of the Company for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or his attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the address for notices and other Schedule A information of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), the Company shall execute and deliver, at the Company's expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $100,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $100,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representation set forth in Section 6.1. The Company may direct the Collateral and Paying Agent under the Collateral Agency and Paying Agreement to act on its behalf with respect to this Section 13.2 other than with respect to the execution of Notes or the Collateral Agency and Paying Agreement may so provide.

  • Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities (i) The transfer and exchange of Global Securities or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with this Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depository therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall deliver a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Security and such account shall be credited in accordance with such instructions with a beneficial interest in the Global Security and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Security being transferred. (ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Security to a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Security to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security from which such interest is being transferred. (iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix A (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository. (iv) In the event that a Global Security is exchanged for Definitive Securities pursuant to Section 2.4 prior to the consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Securities, such Securities may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial Securities intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or such other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Issuer.
