Except as provided in this
Section and in Section 306 of the Original Indenture,
(i) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes shall be
limited to
5
$250,000,000, and (ii) the Issuer shall not
execute and the Trustee shall not authenticate or deliver Notes in
excess of such aggregate principal amount.
Nothing contained in this
Section 2.2 or elsewhere in this Supplemental Indenture, or in
the Notes, is intended to or shall limit execution by the Issuer or
authentication or delivery by the Trustee of Notes under the
circumstances contemplated by Sections 303, 304, 305, 306, 906,
1107 and 1305 of the Original Indenture. Furthermore, the
Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of existing
Holders, create and issue further Securities having the same terms
and conditions in all respects as the Notes issued as of the date
hereof pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture, except for issue
date, issue price and the first payment of interest thereon.
Additional Securities issued in this manner will be consolidated
with and will form a single series with the previously outstanding
Notes.
Section 2.3 Interest
and Interest Rates; Maturity Date of Notes .
The Notes will bear interest at a
rate of 7.750% per annum from August 14, 2009 or from the
immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has
been paid or duly provided for, payable semi-annually in arrears on
February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on
February 15, 2010 (each, an “ Interest Payment
Date ”), to the Person in whose name such Note is
registered at the close of business on February 1 or
August 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be,
next preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a “
Regular Record Date ”). Interest will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day
months. The interest so payable on any Note which is not
punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Person in whose name
such Note is registered on the relevant Regular Record Date, and
such defaulted interest shall instead be payable to the Person in
whose name such Note is registered on the Special Record Date or
other specified date determined in accordance with the Original
Indenture.
If any Interest Payment Date or
Maturity falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required
payment shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made
on the date such payment was due and no interest shall accrue on
the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest
Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be.
The Notes will mature on
August 15, 2019.
Section 2.4
Limitations on Incurrence of Indebtedness .
(a)
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur
any Indebtedness, other than Intercompany Indebtedness, if,
immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such
additional Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds
thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding
Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 60% of the
sum of (without duplication) (i) the Total
6
Assets of the Issuer and its
Subsidiaries as of the end of the calendar quarter covered in the
Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the
Commission (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange
Act, with the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional
Indebtedness and (ii) the purchase price of any assets
included in the definition of Total Assets acquired, and the amount
of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such
proceeds were not used to acquire items included in the
definition of Total Assets or used to reduce indebtedness), by the
Issuer or any Subsidiary since the end of such calendar quarter,
including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence
of such additional Indebtedness.
(b)
In addition to the limitation set forth in subsection (a) of
this Section 2.4, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any
Subsidiary to, incur any Indebtedness if the ratio of Consolidated
Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Service Charge for
the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to
the date on which such additional Indebtedness is to be incurred
shall have been less than 1.5:1, on a pro forma basis after
giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds
therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that (i) such
Indebtedness and any other Indebtedness incurred by the Issuer and
its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period
and the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to
refinance other Indebtedness, had occurred at the beginning of such
period; (ii) the repayment or retirement of any other
Indebtedness by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries since the first day
of such four-quarter period had been repaid or retired at the
beginning of such period (except that, in making such computation,
the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility
shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such
Indebtedness during such period); (iii) in the case of
Acquired Indebtedness or Indebtedness incurred in connection with
any acquisition since the first day of such four-quarter period,
the related acquisition had occurred as of the first day of such
period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such
acquisition being included in such pro forma calculation;
and (iv) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the
Issuer or its Subsidiaries of any asset or group of assets since
the first day of such four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock
purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or
disposition or any related repayment of Indebtedness had occurred
as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments
with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in
such pro forma calculation.
