Voting Rights, Conduct and Adjournment Clause Samples

The "Voting Rights, Conduct and Adjournment" clause defines how voting is conducted during meetings, who is entitled to vote, and the procedures for managing the meeting, including the ability to pause or adjourn proceedings. It typically outlines the eligibility of members or shareholders to cast votes, the manner in which votes are counted (such as by show of hands or ballot), and the authority of the chairperson to maintain order or adjourn the meeting if necessary. This clause ensures orderly decision-making, clarifies voting entitlements, and provides mechanisms to address disruptions or procedural issues during meetings.

(b) At any meeting of Holders, the presence of Persons holding or representing Notes in an aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity sufficient under the appropriate provision of this Indenture to take action upon the business for the transaction of which such meeting was called shall constitute a quorum. Subject to any required aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of Notes required for the taking of any action pursuant to Article 9, in no event shall less than a majority of the votes given by Persons holding or representing Notes at any meeting of Holders be sufficient to approve an action. Any meeting of Holders duly called pursuant to Section 11.3 may be adjourned from time to time by vote of the Holders (or proxies for the Holders) of a majority of the Notes represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, whether or not a quorum shall be present; and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice. No action at a meeting of Holders shall be effective unless approved by Persons holding or representing Notes in the aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity required by the provision of this Indenture pursuant to which such action is being taken. (c) At any meeting of Holders, each Holder or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of outstanding Notes held or represented.
