(a) Subject to subsection (b) below, within 60 days of the death, Qualifying Disability or Bankruptcy (as defined below) of a holder who is a natural person or a Person who beneficially holds Bonds (a “Holder Redemption Event”), the estate of such Person, such Person, or the legal representative of such Person may require the Company to repurchase, in whole but not in part, without penalty, the Bonds held or beneficially held by such Person, as the case may be, by delivering to the Company a written notice requesting such Bonds be redeemed (a “Repurchase Request”). Redemptions due to death, disability or bankruptcy shall count towards the annual 10% limit on redemptions described above; provided, however, that any redemptions pursuant to death, disability or bankruptcy shall not be subject to the 10% limit. Any Repurchase Request shall specify the particular Holder Redemption Event giving rise to the right of the holder or beneficial holder to have his or her Securities repurchased by the Company. If a Bond or beneficial interest is held jointly by natural persons who are legally married, then a Repurchase Request may be made by (i) the surviving holder or beneficial holder upon the occurrence of a Holder Redemption Event arising by virtue of a death, or (ii) the disabled or bankrupt holder or beneficial holder (or a legal representative) upon the occurrence of a Holder Redemption Event arising by virtue of a Disability or Bankruptcy. In the event a Bond or beneficial interest is held together by two or more natural persons that are not legally married (regardless of whether held as joint tenants, co-tenants or otherwise), neither of these persons shall have the right to request that the Company repurchase such Bond or beneficial interest unless a Holder Redemption Event has occurred for all such co-holders or co-beneficial holders of such Bond.
Disability shall mean with respect to any Bondholder or beneficial holder, a determination of disability based upon a physical or mental condition or impairment arising after the date such Bondholder or beneficial holder first acquired Bonds. Any such determination of disability must be made by any of: (1) the Social Security Administration; (2) the U.S. Office of Personnel Management; or (3) the Veteran’s Benefits Administration, or the Applicable Governmental Agency, responsible for reviewing the disability retirement benefits that the applicable Bondholder or beneficial holder could be eligible to receive.
Bankruptcy shall mean, with respect to any Bondholder the final adjudication related to (i) the filing of any petition seeking to adjudicate the Bondholder bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking for itself any liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of such Bondholder or such Bondholder’s debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking, consenting to, or acquiescing in the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, or other similar official for such Person or for any substantial part of its property, or (ii) without the consent or acquiescence of such Bondholder, the entering of an order for relief or approving a petition for relief or reorganization or any other petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or other similar relief under any bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, or other similar statute, law, or regulation, or, without the consent or acquiescence of such Bondholder, the entering of an order appointing a trustee, custodian, receiver, or liquidator of such Bondholder or of all or any substantial part of the property of such Bondholder which order shall not be dismissed within ninety (90) days.
(b) Upon receipt of a Repurchase Request under subsection (a) above, the Company shall designate a date for the redemption of such Bonds, which date shall not be later than 30 days after the Company receives documentation and/or certifications establishing (to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company) the occurrence of a Holder Redemption Event. Any redemption of a Bond under this Section will be at a price equal to all accrued and unpaid interest, to but not including the date on which the Bonds are redeemed, plus the then outstanding principal amount of such Bond.
SECTION 5. Redemption at Option of the Company. The Company may redeem the Bonds, in whole or in part, without penalty. If the Bonds are extended for an Extension Period, the Company may redeem the Bonds at any time during such Extension Period. Any redemption of a Bond will be at a price equal to the then outstanding principal on the Bonds being redeemed, plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Bonds. If the Company plans to redeem the Bonds, the Company will give notice of redemption not less than 5 days nor more than 60 days prior to any redemption date to each such holder’s address appearing in our Bondholder List. In the event the Company elects to redeem less than all of the Bonds, the particular Bonds to be redeemed will be selected by us at our sole discretion. Except as set forth in this Section 5, the Bonds may not be redeemed by the Company.
SECTION 6. Waiver. Any existing Default (as defined herein) or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holder.
SECTION 7. Events of Default.
(a) Whenever used herein, “Default” means any event, act or condition that with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default. “Event of Default” means any one or more of the following events that has occurred and is continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):
(1) the Company defaults in the payment of any installment of interest, upon any of the Bonds as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 60 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period consented to by the holders of a majority of the Bonds then outstanding (the “Bondholder Majority”) shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose;
