Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due 2034 ”.
New Notes not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of
$321,554,000 (except pursuant to Section 2.05 and
Section 2.06 hereof) upon the execution of this Indenture, or
from time to time thereafter, may be executed by the Company and
delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall
thereupon authenticate and deliver said New Notes to or upon the
written order of the Company, signed by its Chief Executive
Officer, its President, its Chief Operating Officer or any Vice
President (whether or not designated by a number or numbers or word
or words added before or after the title “ Vice
President ”), without any further action by the Company
hereunder.
Section 2.02. Form of New Notes. The New Notes, the
Guarantee and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to
be borne by such New Notes shall be substantially in the form set
forth in Exhibit A. The terms and provisions contained in the
form of New Note attached as Exhibit A hereto shall
constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture
and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by
their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to
such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.
Any of the New
Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of
identification and such notations, legends, endorsements or changes
as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof
to be conclusive evidence of
14
such approval)
and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture,
or as may be required by the Custodian, the Depositary or by the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. in order for the
New Notes to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or
regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of
any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the
New Notes may be listed, or to conform to usage, or to indicate any
special limitations or restrictions to which any particular New
Notes are subject.
So long as the New
Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary,
or unless otherwise required by law, or otherwise contemplated by
Section 2.05(a), all of the New Notes will be represented by
one or more New Notes in global form registered in the name of the
Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary (a “ Global
Note ”). The transfer and exchange of beneficial
interests in any such Global Note shall be effected through the
Depositary in accordance with this Indenture and the applicable
procedures of the Depositary. Except as provided in
Section 2.05(a), beneficial holders of a Global Note will not
receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates
in definitive form and will not be considered holders of such
Global Note.
Any Global Note
shall represent such of the outstanding New Notes as shall be
specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the
aggregate amount of outstanding New Notes from time to time
endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding New
Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or
reduced to reflect redemptions, repurchases, conversions, transfers
or exchanges permitted hereby. Any endorsement of a Global Note to
reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of
outstanding New Notes represented thereby shall be made by the
Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in such
manner and upon instructions given by the holders of such New Notes
in accordance with this Indenture. Payment of principal of and
Interest on any Global Note shall be made to the holder of such
Global Note.
Section 2.03. Date and Denomination of New Notes; Payments
of Interest. The New Notes shall be issuable in fully
registered form without interest coupons in denominations of $1,000
principal amount and integral multiples thereof. Each New Note
shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear
interest at the rate, and from and until the dates, specified on
the face of the form of New Note attached as Exhibit A hereto.
Interest on the New Notes shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
The Person in
whose name any New Note (or its Predecessor Note) is registered on
the Note Register at the close of business on the Regular Record
Date with respect to an Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to
receive the Interest payable on such Interest Payment Date, except
that the Interest payable upon redemption or repurchase will be
payable to the Person to whom principal is
15
payable
pursuant to such redemption or repurchase (unless the Redemption
Date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, is an Interest
Payment Date, in which case the semi-annual payment of interest
becoming due on such date, if any, shall be payable to the
Noteholders registered as such on the applicable Regular Record
Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any New Note (or portion
thereof) is converted into Common Stock during the period after a
Regular Record Date to, but excluding, the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date and such New Note (or portion thereof) has been called
or tendered for redemption on a Redemption Date which occurs during
such period, the Company shall not be required to pay interest on
such Interest Payment Date in respect of any such New Note (or
portion thereof), except as provided in Section 14.02.
Interest shall be payable at the office of the Company maintained
by the Company for such purposes, which shall initially be an
office or agency of the Trustee. The Company shall pay Interest
(i) on any New Notes in certificated form by check mailed to
the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the
Note Register (or upon written notice, by wire transfer in
immediately available funds, if such Person is entitled to Interest
on New Notes with an aggregate principal amount in excess of
$2,000,000) or (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its
nominee.
Any Interest on
any New Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “
Defaulted Interest ”) shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the Noteholder on the relevant Regular Record Date by
virtue of his having been such Noteholder, and such Defaulted
Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each
case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:
(1) The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the
Persons in whose names the New Notes (or their respective
Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a
“Special Record Date” for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest, which shall be the date fixed in the following manner.
The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each New Note and the
date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than
twenty-five (25) days after the receipt by the Trustee of such
notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and
at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an
amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect
of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory
to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the
proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for
the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as
in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall
be not more than fifteen (15) days and not less than ten
(10) days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not
less than ten (10) days after the receipt by the Trustee of
the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly
notify the
16
Company of such
Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the
Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be
mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each holder at his address
as it appears in the Note Register, not less than ten
(10) days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record
Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall
be paid to the Persons in whose names the New Notes (or their
respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of
business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable
pursuant to the following clause (2) of this
Section 2.03.
(2) The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the New
Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such
notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation
system, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the
proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment
shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
Section 2.04. Execution of New Notes. The New Notes
shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the
manual or facsimile signature of its Chief Executive Officer,
President, Chief Operating Officer or any Vice President (whether
or not designated by a number or numbers, or word or words, added
before or after the title “Vice President”). Only such
New Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form set forth on the form of New Note
attached as Exhibit A hereto, manually executed by the Trustee
(or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by
Section 18.13), shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such
certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon
any New Note executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence
that the New Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits
of this Indenture.
In case any
officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the New Notes
shall cease to be such officer before the New Notes so signed shall
have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed
of by the Company, such New Notes nevertheless may be authenticated
and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such
New Notes had not ceased to be such officer of the Company, and any
New Note may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as,
at the actual date of the execution of such New Note, shall be the
proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the
execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an
officer.
17
Section 2.05. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of New
Notes; Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) The
Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a
register (the register maintained in such office and in any other
office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to
Section 4.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to
as the “ Note Register ”) in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall
provide for the registration of New Notes and of transfers of New
Notes. The Note Register shall be in written form or in any form
capable of being converted into written form within a reasonably
prompt period of time. The Trustee is hereby appointed “
Note Registrar ” for the purpose of registering New
Notes and transfers of New Notes as herein provided. The Company
may appoint one or more co-registrars in accordance with
Section 4.02.
Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any New Note to the Note Registrar or
any co-registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for such
transfer set forth in this Section 2.05, the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more New Notes of any
authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount
and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this
Indenture.
New Notes may be
exchanged for other New Notes of any authorized denominations and
of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the New
Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by
the Company pursuant to Section 4.02. Whenever any New Notes
are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the New Notes which the
Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive bearing
registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.
All New Notes
issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of New Notes
shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same
debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as
the New Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or
exchange.
All New Notes
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for
exchange, redemption, repurchase or conversion shall (if so
required by the Company or the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or
be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the
Noteholder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing.
No service charge
shall be made to any Noteholder for any registration, transfer or
exchange of New Notes, but the Company may require payment by the
Noteholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or
other governmental
18
charge that may
be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or
exchange of New Notes.
Neither the
Company nor the Trustee nor any Note Registrar shall be required to
exchange or register a transfer of (a) any New Notes for a
period of fifteen (15) days next preceding any selection of
New Notes to be redeemed, (b) any New Notes or portions
thereof called for redemption pursuant to Section 3.01
(c) any New Notes or portions thereof surrendered for
conversion pursuant to Article 14, (d) any New Notes or
portions thereof tendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn)
pursuant to Section 3.05 or (e) any New Notes or portions
thereof tendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) pursuant to
Section 3.06.
(b) The
following provisions shall apply only to Global Notes:
(i) Each Global
Note authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the
name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to such
Depositary or a nominee thereof or Custodian therefor, and each
such Global Note shall constitute a single Note for all purposes of
this Indenture.
(ii)
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global
Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for New Notes registered,
and no transfer of a Global Note in whole or in part may be
registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or
a nominee thereof unless (A) the Depositary (i) has
notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for such Global Note and a successor depositary has not
been appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days or
(ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act, (B) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, (C) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies
the Trustee in writing that it no longer wishes to have all the New
Notes represented by Global Notes or (D) any beneficial holder
reasonably requests such exchange on terms acceptable to the
Company, the Trustee and the Depositary, which in the case of the
Trustee may include, in the Trustee’s sole discretion, among
other things, the requirement that (i) the Trustee and any
Note Registrar receive (a) from the Company or the Depositary,
a written order, in either case requesting such exchange, and an
Opinion of Counsel (which upon receipt thereof the Trustee and such
Note Registrar shall be fully protected in relying) to the effect
that (x) all securities laws in connection with such exchange
have been complied with and (y) such exchange is otherwise
authorized or permitted by this Indenture; and (b) from such
beneficial holder (x) an affidavit as to its beneficial
ownership interest in such Global Note and/or (y) an
indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and such Note
Registrar, against any loss, liability or expense to the Trustee
and such Note Registrar to the
19
extent that the
Trustee or Note Registrar acts upon such order, affidavit and/or
indemnity; and (ii) such exchange can be accomplished in a
manner that is practicable and not inconsistent with the rules of
any applicable Depositary or securities exchange upon which the New
Notes may be listed for trading. Any Global Note exchanged pursuant
to clause (A) or (B) above shall be so exchanged in whole
and not in part and any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause
(C) or (D) above may be exchanged in whole or from time
to time in part as directed by the Company. Any New Note issued in
exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be a Global
Note; provided that any such New Note so issued that is registered
in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee
thereof shall not be a Global Note.
(iii) New Notes
issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof
pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be issued in definitive,
fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an
aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Note or
portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such
names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary
shall designate and shall bear any legends required hereunder. Any
Global Note to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the
Depositary to the Trustee, as Note Registrar.
With regard to any
Global Note to be exchanged in part, either such Global Note shall
be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as
Custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such
Global Note, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an
amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of
an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon
any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate
and make available for delivery the New Note issuable on such
exchange to or upon the written order of the Depositary or an
authorized representative thereof.
(iv) In the event
of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (ii)
above, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a
reasonable supply of certificated New Notes in definitive, fully
registered form, without interest coupons.
(v) Neither any
members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“ Agent
Members ”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent
Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with
respect to any Global Note registered in the name of the Depositary
or any nominee thereof, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the
case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any
agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and
holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
20
herein shall
prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the
Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or
other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as
the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent
Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may
act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing
the exercise of the rights of a beneficial holder of any New
Note.
(vi) At such
time as all interests in a Global Note have been redeemed,
repurchased, converted, canceled or exchanged for New Notes in
certificated form, such Global Note shall, upon receipt thereof, be
canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and
instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian. At
any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global
Note is redeemed, repurchased, converted, canceled or exchanged for
New Notes in certificated form, the principal amount of such Global
Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and
instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be
appropriately reduced, and an endorsement shall be made on such
Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of
the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.
Section 2.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen New
Notes. In case any New Note shall become mutilated or be
destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may
execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an
authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate
and make available for delivery, a new New Note, bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for
the mutilated New Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the
New Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case, the applicant
for a substituted New Note shall furnish to the Company, to the
Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or
connected with such substitution, and, in every case of
destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the
Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating
agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of such New Note and of the ownership thereof.
Following receipt
by the Trustee or such authenticating agent, as the case may be, of
satisfactory security or indemnity and evidence, as described in
the preceding paragraph, the Trustee or such authenticating agent
may authenticate any such substituted New Note and make available
for delivery such New Note. Upon the issuance of any substituted
New Note, the Company may require the payment by the holder of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses connected therewith. In case any New Note which has
matured or is
21
about to mature
or has been called for redemption or has been tendered for
repurchase upon a Fundamental Change (and not withdrawn) or has
been surrendered for repurchase on a Repurchase Date (and not
withdrawn) or is to be converted into Common Stock shall become
mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead
of issuing a substitute New Note, pay or authorize the payment of
or convert or authorize the conversion of the same (without
surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated New Note), as
the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion
shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to
such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss,
liability, cost or expense caused by or in connection with such
substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the
applicant shall also furnish to the Company, the Trustee and, if
applicable, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such New Note and
of the ownership thereof.
Every substitute
New Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any New Note is
destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the
destroyed, lost or stolen New Note shall be found at any time, and
shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to
all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other New Notes duly issued
hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all New Notes shall be
held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing
provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment
or conversion or redemption or repurchase of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen New Notes and shall preclude any and all other
rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or
hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement
or payment or conversion or redemption or repurchase of negotiable
instruments or other securities without their surrender.
Section 2.07. Temporary New Notes. Pending the
preparation of New Notes in certificated form, the Company may
execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the
Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Company,
authenticate and deliver temporary New Notes (printed or
lithographed). Temporary New Notes shall be issuable in any
authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the New
Notes in certificated form, but with such omissions, insertions and
variations as may be appropriate for temporary New Notes, all as
may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary New Note
shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee
or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in
substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the New
Notes in certificated form. Without unreasonable delay, the Company
will execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating
agent New Notes in certificated form and thereupon any or all
temporary New Notes may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at
each office
22
or agency
maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02 and the
Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and make
available for delivery in exchange for such temporary New Notes an
equal aggregate principal amount of New Notes in certificated form.
Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and
without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary New
Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and
subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as New Notes
in certificated form authenticated and delivered
hereunder.
Section 2.08. Cancellation of New Notes. All New Notes
surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, repurchase,
conversion, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if
surrendered to the Company or any Paying Agent or any Note
Registrar or any Conversion Agent, be surrendered to the Trustee
and promptly canceled by it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee,
shall be promptly canceled by it, and no New Notes shall be issued
in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the
provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of such
canceled New Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. If
the Company shall acquire any of the New Notes, such acquisition
shall not operate as a redemption, repurchase or satisfaction of
the Indebtedness represented by such New Notes unless and until the
same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Section 2.09. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the
New Notes may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers
and/or similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the
Trustee shall use “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN”
numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Noteholders;
provided that any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers,
either as printed on the New Notes or as contained in any notice of
a redemption, and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the New Notes, and any such
redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of
such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any
change in the “CUSIP” and/or similar
numbers.
Redemption
and Repurchase of New Notes
Section 3.01. Company’s Right to Redeem. Prior to
July 15, 2011, the New Notes will not be redeemable at the
Company’s option. At any time on or after July 15, 2011
and prior to Stated Maturity, the Company, at its option, may
redeem the New Notes, in whole or in part, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.02 and Section 3.03 on the
Redemption Date (as defined below) for a redemption price (the
“ Redemption Price ”) in cash equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the New Notes to be redeemed together with
accrued and
23
unpaid Interest
on the New Notes redeemed to but excluding the Redemption
Date.
If the Redemption
Date is an Interest Payment Date, Interest shall be paid on such
Interest Payment Date to the record holder on the relevant Record
Date.
Section 3.02. Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of
New Notes.
(a) In case
the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as
the case may be, any part of the New Notes pursuant to
Section 3.01, it shall fix a date for redemption (the “
Redemption Date ”) and it or, at the written request
of the Company received by the Trustee not fewer than thirty
(30) days prior (or such shorter period of time as may be
acceptable to the Trustee) to the Redemption Date, the Trustee in
the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall mail or cause
to be mailed a notice of such redemption (a “ Redemption
Notice ”) not fewer than thirty (30) nor more than
sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date to each
Noteholder to be redeemed at its last address as the same appears
on the Note Register; provided that if the Company shall
give such notice, it shall also give written notice of the
Redemption Date to the Trustee. Such mailing shall be by first
class mail. The notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided,
shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or
not the holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give
such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Noteholder
designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect
the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other New
Note.
(b) Each such
Redemption Notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of
New Notes to be redeemed, the CUSIP, ISIN or similar number or
numbers of the New Notes being redeemed, the Redemption Date (which
shall be a Business Day), the Redemption Price at which New Notes
are to be redeemed, the place or places of payment, that payment
will be made upon presentation and surrender of such New Notes,
that Interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as
specified in said notice, and that on and after said date Interest
thereon or on the portion thereof to be redeemed will cease to
accrue. The Redemption Notice shall also state the current
Conversion Rate and the date on which the right to convert such New
Notes or portions thereof into Common Stock pursuant to
Section 14.01(a)(ii) shall expire. The Redemption Notice shall
also specify, with respect to any such conversions of New Notes,
whether the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation
entirely in cash or in shares of Common Stock or, if the Company
has made the irrevocable election described below in
Section 14.03(d), whether it elects to satisfy the portion of
the Daily Conversion Value in excess of $62.50 in cash or in shares
of Common Stock. If fewer than all the New Notes are to be
redeemed, the Redemption Notice shall identify the New Notes to be
redeemed (including CUSIP, ISIN or similar numbers, if any). In
case any New Note is to be redeemed in part only, the Redemption
Notice shall state the
24
portion of the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that, on
and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such New Note, a
Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion
thereof will be issued.
(c) On or
prior to the Redemption Date specified in the Redemption Notice
given as provided in this Section 3.02, the Company will
deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if
the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate
and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) an amount of
money sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the New Notes
(or portions thereof) so called for redemption (other than those
theretofore surrendered for conversion into Common Stock) at the
appropriate Redemption Price; provided that if such payment is made
on the Redemption Date it must be received by the Trustee or Paying
Agent, as the case may be, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
on such date. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest,
yield or gain on amounts deposited with the Trustee or any Paying
Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02(c) in excess of amounts
required hereunder to pay the Redemption Price and accrued Interest
to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
Notwithstanding
the last sentence of Section 7.05, if any New Note called for
redemption is converted pursuant hereto prior to such Redemption
Date, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or
so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such New Note
shall be paid to the Company upon its written request, or, if then
held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust. Whenever
any New Notes are to be redeemed, the Company will give the Trustee
written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate not
fewer than thirty (30) days (or such shorter period of time as
may be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the Redemption Date as
to the aggregate principal amount of New Notes to be
redeemed.
(d) If less
than all of the outstanding New Notes are to be redeemed, the
Trustee shall select the New Notes or portions thereof of the
Global Note or the New Notes in certificated form to be redeemed
(in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) by
lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee deems
fair and appropriate. If any New Note selected for partial
redemption is submitted for conversion in part after such
selection, the portion of such New Note submitted for conversion
shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be from the portion
selected for redemption. The New Notes (or portions thereof) so
selected shall be deemed duly selected for redemption for all
purposes hereof, notwithstanding that any such New Note is
submitted for conversion in part before the mailing of the
Redemption Notice.
Upon any
redemption of less than all of the outstanding New Notes, the
Company and the Trustee may (but need not), solely for purposes of
determining the pro rata allocation among such New Notes as are
unconverted and outstanding
25
at the time of
redemption, treat as outstanding any New Notes surrendered for
conversion during the period of fifteen (15) days next
preceding the mailing of a Redemption Notice and may (but need not)
treat as outstanding any New Note authenticated and delivered
during such period in exchange for the unconverted portion of any
New Note converted in part during such period.
Section 3.03. Payment of New Notes Called for Redemption by
the Company. If a Redemption Notice has been given as provided
in Section 3.02, the New Notes or portion of New Notes with
respect to which such notice has been given shall, unless converted
into Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, become due and
payable on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in
such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, and on and after
the Redemption Date (unless the Company shall default in the
payment of such New Notes at the Redemption Price) Interest on the
New Notes or portion of New Notes so called for redemption shall
cease to accrue and, after the close of business on the second
Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (unless the
Company shall default in the payment of such New Notes at the
Redemption Price), such New Notes shall cease to be convertible
into Common Stock and, except as provided in Section 7.05, to
be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and
the holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such New
Notes except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof. On
presentation and surrender of such New Notes at a place of payment
in said Redemption Notice, the said New Notes or the specified
portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the
applicable Redemption Price; provided that if the applicable
Redemption Date is an Interest Payment Date, the Interest payable
on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on such Interest
Payment Date to the holders of record of such New Notes on the
applicable Record Date instead of the holders surrendering such New
Notes for redemption on such date.
Upon presentation
of any New Note redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery
to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a New Note or
New Notes, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal
to the unredeemed portion of the New Notes so presented.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Trustee shall not redeem any New Notes or mail
any Redemption Notice during the continuance of a default in
payment of Interest on the New Notes. If any New Note called for
redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for,
continue to bear interest at the rate borne by the New Note, if
any, compounded semi-annually, and such New Note shall remain
convertible into Common Stock until the principal and Interest
shall have been paid or duly provided for. The Company will notify
all of the holders if the Company redeems any of the New
Notes.
26
Section 3.04. Conversion Arrangement on Call for
Redemption. In connection with any redemption of New Notes, the
Company may arrange for the purchase and conversion of any New
Notes called for redemption by an agreement with one or more
investment bankers or other purchasers to purchase such New Notes
by paying to the Trustee in trust for the Noteholders, on or prior
to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date, an
amount that, together with any amounts deposited with the Trustee
by the Company for the redemption of such New Notes, is not less
than the Redemption Price of such New Notes. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Article 3, the
obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price of such New
Notes shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent
such amount is so paid by such purchasers. If such an agreement is
entered into, any New Notes not duly surrendered for conversion by
the Noteholders thereof may, at the option of the Company, be
deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, acquired by such
purchasers from such Noteholders and (notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in Article 14) surrendered by such
purchasers for conversion, all as of immediately prior to the close
of business on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date,
subject to payment of the above amount as aforesaid. The Trustee
shall hold and pay to the Noteholders whose New Notes are selected
for redemption any such amount paid to it for purchase and
conversion in the same manner as it would moneys deposited with it
by the Company for the redemption of New Notes. Without the
Trustee’s prior written consent, no arrangement between the
Company and such purchasers for the purchase and conversion of any
New Notes shall increase or otherwise affect any of the powers,
duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Trustee as set forth
in this Indenture, and the Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee
from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
arising out of or in connection with any such arrangement for the
purchase and conversion of any New Notes between the Company and
such purchasers, including the costs and expenses incurred by the
Trustee in the defense of any claim or liability arising out of or
in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its
powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations under this
Indenture, except in the case of the Trustee’s negligence or
willful misconduct.
Section 3.05. Repurchase of New Notes by the Company at
Option of Noteholders upon a Fundamental Change.
(a) If a
Fundamental Change shall occur at any time prior to Stated
Maturity, each Noteholder shall have the right, at such
holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase any or
all of such holder’s New Notes, or any portion of the
principal amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000, on the date specified in the Fundamental Change
Company Notice, which date shall be no more than thirty
(30) Business Days after the date of the Fundamental Change
Company Notice (subject to extension to comply with applicable law)
(the “ Fundamental Change Repurchase Date ”).
The Company
27
shall
repurchase such New Notes at a price (the “ Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price ”) equal to 100% of the principal
amount thereof plus any accrued and unpaid Interest to but
excluding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.
(b) On or
before the thirtieth (30th) day after the occurrence of a
Fundamental Change, the Company, or at its written request the
Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company (which
request must be received by the Trustee at least five
(5) Business Days prior to the date the Trustee is requested
to give notice as described below, unless the Trustee shall agree
to a shorter period), shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first
class mail, to all holders of record on such date a notice (the
“ Fundamental Change Company Notice ”) of the
occurrence of such Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right
at the option of the Noteholders arising as a result thereof to
each Noteholder at its last address as the same appears on the Note
Register; provided that if the Company shall give such
notice, it shall also give written notice of the Fundamental Change
to the Trustee and Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee, at such
time as it is mailed to Noteholders. Such notice, if mailed in the
manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been
duly given, whether or not the Noteholder receives such notice.
Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall state, among other
things:
(i) the events
causing the Fundamental Change;
(ii) the date of
the Fundamental Change;
(iii) the last
date on which a holder may exercise the repurchase
right;
(iv) the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, excluding accrued and unpaid
Interest, the applicable Conversion Rate at the time of such notice
(and any applicable adjustments to the Conversion Rate) and, to the
extent known at the time of such notice, the amount of Interest
that will be payable with respect to the New Notes on the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;
(v) whether the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price will be paid in cash or shares
of Common Stock;
(vi) if shares of
Common Stock will be used to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price:
(A) the method for
valuing the shares of Common Stock to be delivered in connection
with the repurchase; and
28
(B) that
Noteholders will bear the market risk with respect to the value of
the shares of Common Stock to be delivered from the date the number
of shares is determined;
(vii) the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;
(viii) the name
and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion
Agent;
(ix) that New
Notes as to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been
given by the holder may be converted only if the election has been
withdrawn by the holder in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture; provided that the New Notes are otherwise convertible in
accordance with Section 14.01;
(x) that the
holder shall have the right to withdraw any New Notes surrendered
prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or any such later
time as may be required by applicable law);
(xi) a description
of the procedures which a Noteholder must follow to exercise such
repurchase right or to withdraw any surrendered New
Notes;
(xii) the CUSIP,
ISIN or similar number or numbers of the New Notes (if then
generally in use); and
(xiii) briefly,
the conversion rights of the New Notes and whether, at the time of
such notice, the New Notes are eligible for conversion.
No failure of the
Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall
limit the Noteholders’ repurchase rights or affect the
validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the New Notes
pursuant to this Section 3.05.
(c) New Notes
shall be repurchased pursuant to this Section 3.05 at the
option of the holder upon:
(i) delivery to
the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by a
holder of a duly completed notice (a “ Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice ”) in the form set forth on the reverse
of the New Note at any time prior to the close of business on the
Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date (subject to extension to comply with applicable
law) stating:
(A) if
certificated, the certificate numbers of the New Notes which the
holder shall deliver to be repurchased;
29
(B) the portion of
the principal amount of the New Notes that the holder shall deliver
to be repurchased, which portion must be $1,000 or an integral
multiple thereof; and
(C) that such New
Notes shall be repurchased as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the New
Notes and in the Indenture; and
(ii) delivery or
book-entry transfer of the New Notes to the Trustee (or other
Paying Agent appointed by the Company) simultaneously with or at
any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice
(together with all necessary endorsements) at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the
Company) in the City of Philadelphia, such delivery or transfer
being a condition to receipt by the holder of the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price therefor; provided that such Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this
Section 3.05 only if the New Notes so delivered or transferred
to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company)
shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the
related Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. All questions as to
the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and
acceptance of any New Note for repurchase shall be determined by
the Company, whose determination shall be final and binding absent
manifest error.
If the New Notes
are not in certificated form, holders must provide notice of their
election in accordance with the appropriate procedures of the
Depositary.
(d) The New
Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be
paid for in cash; provided that upon the occurrence of a
Fundamental Change that does not result in a Termination of
Trading, the New Notes to be repurchased may be paid for, at the
election of the Company, in cash or Common Stock, subject to the
conditions set forth in clause (e) of this
Section 3.05.
(e) If the
Company elects to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in
Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock to be paid will
equal the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price by (ii) 98% of the average Last
Reported Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock for the five
consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the second
Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date, appropriately adjusted to take into account the
occurrence, during the period commencing on the first Trading Day
during the five Trading Day period and ending on the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date, of any event described in
Section 14.06, subject to the next succeeding paragraph. The
Company shall designate, in the Fundamental Change Company
Notice
30
delivered
pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 3.05, whether it
will repurchase the New Notes for cash or shares of Common Stock;
provided that the Company will pay cash in lieu of
fractional shares of Common Stock. For purposes of determining the
existence of potential fractional interests, all New Notes subject
to repurchase by the Company held by a Noteholder shall be
considered together (no matter how many separate certificates are
to be presented). The Company may not change its election with
respect to the consideration to be paid once the Company has given
its Fundamental Change Company Notice to holders except as set
forth below in the event of a failure to satisfy, prior to the
close of business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date, any condition to the payment of the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in shares of Common
Stock.
The Company shall,
at least three Business Days prior to delivering the Fundamental
Change Company Notice, deliver an Officers’ Certificate to
the Trustee specifying:
(i) the manner of
payment selected by the Company, and
(ii) if the
Company elects to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in
shares of Common Stock, that the conditions to such manner of
payment set forth in this clause (e) have been or will be
complied with.
The
Company’s right to exercise its election to repurchase New
Notes through the issuance of shares of Common Stock shall be
conditioned upon:
(i) the
Company’s giving a timely Fundamental Change Company Notice
containing an election to purchase all or a specified percentage of
the New Notes with shares of Common Stock as provided
herein;
(ii) the
registration of such shares of Common Stock under the Securities
Act and, if required, the Exchange Act;
(iii) the listing
of such shares of Common Stock on a United States national
securities exchange or the quotation of such shares of Common Stock
in an inter-dealer quotation system of any registered United States
national securities association, in each case, if the Common Stock
is then listed on a national securities exchange or quoted in an
inter-dealer quotation system;
(iv) any necessary
qualification or registration of such shares of Common Stock under
applicable state securities laws or the availability of an
exemption from such qualification and registration; and
31
(v) the receipt by
the Trustee of an (i) Officers’ Certificate stating that
the terms of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock are in
conformity with this Indenture, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company
in payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of
the New Notes have been duly authorized and, when issued and
delivered pursuant to the terms of this Indenture in payment of the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of the New Notes,
will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and
(iii) an Officers’ Certificate, stating that the
conditions to the issuance of the shares of Common Stock have been
satisfied.
Such
Officers’ Certificate shall also set forth the number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued for each $1,000 principal
amount of New Notes and the Last Reported Sale Price of a share of
Common Stock on each Trading Day during the period commencing on
the fifth Trading Day immediately preceding but ending on the
second Business Day prior to the applicable Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date. If the foregoing conditions are not satisfied
prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the Company
has elected to repurchase the New Notes through the issuance of
shares of Common Stock, the Company shall pay the entire
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the New Notes in
cash.
Promptly after
determination of the actual number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued upon repurchase of New Notes, the Company shall be required
to disseminate a press release through Dow Jones & Company,
Inc. or Bloomberg Business News containing this information or
publish the information on the Company’s web site or through
such other public medium as the Company may use at that
time.
All shares of
Common Stock delivered upon repurchase of the New Notes shall be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
If a holder of a
repurchased New Note is paid in shares of Common Stock, the Company
shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax
due on such issue of Common Stock. However, the holder shall pay
any such tax which is due because the holder requests the Common
Stock to be issued in a name other than the holder’s name.
The Trustee (or other paying agent appointed by the Company) may
refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares of
Common Stock being issued in a name other than the holder’s
name until the Trustee (or other paying agent appointed by the
Company) receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due
because the shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other
than the holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any
income tax withholding required by law or regulations.
32

appears on the Note Register, and to beneficial owners as required
by applicable law; provided that if the Company shall give
such notice, it shall also give written notice to the Trustee and
Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee, at such time as it is
mailed to Noteholders. Such notice, if mailed in the manner herein
provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given,
whether or not the holder receives such notice. Each Company
Repurchase Notice shall state, among other things:
(i) the Company
Repurchase Price, excluding accrued and unpaid Interest, the
applicable Conversion Rate at the time of such notice (and any
applicable adjustments to the Conversion Rate) and, to the extent
known at the time of such notice, the amount of Interest that will

accordance with Section 14.01;
33
(vi) that the
holder shall have the right to withdraw any New Notes surrendered
prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately

description of the procedures which a Noteholder must follow to
exercise such repurchase right or to withdraw any surrendered New
Notes;
(viii) the CUSIP,
ISIN or similar number or numbers of the New Notes (if then
generally in use); and
(ix) briefly, the
conversion rights of the New Notes and whether, at the time of such
notice, the New Notes are eligible for conversion.
No failure of the
Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall
limit the Noteholders’ repurchase rights or affect the
validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the New Notes
pursuant to this Section 3.06.
(b) New Notes
shall be repurchased pursuant to this Section 3.06 at the
option of the holder upon:
(i) delivery to
the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by a
holder of a duly completed notice (a “ Company Repurchase
Election ”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the
New Note at any time from the opening of business on the twentieth
(20 th
) Business Day preceding the Company

stating:

Philadelphia,
34
such delivery
or transfer being a condition to receipt by the holder of the
Company Repurchase Price therefor; provided that such
Company Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this
Section 3.06 only if the New Notes so delivered or transferred
to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company)
shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the
related Company Repurchase Election. All questions as to the
validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of
any New Note for repurchase shall be determined by the Company,
whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest

If the New Notes
are not in certificated form, holders must provide notice of their

Depositary.
Section 3.07. [Reserved].
Section 3.08. Conditions and Procedures for Repurchase at
Option of Holders.
(a) The
Company shall repurchase from the holder thereof, pursuant to
Section 3.05 or Section 3.06, a portion of a New Note, if the
principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the repurchase
of a New Note also apply to the repurchase of any portion of such
New Note. Upon presentation of any New Note repurchased in part
only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and make available for delivery to the holder thereof, at the
expense of the Company, a new New Note or New Notes, of any
authorized denomination, in aggregate principal amount equal to the
portion of the New Notes presented not repurchased.
(b) On or
prior to a Repurchase Date, the Company will deposit with the
Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if the Company is
acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in
trust as provided in Section 4.04) an amount of money or
Common Stock, if permitted hereunder, sufficient to repurchase on
the Repurchase Date all the New Notes or portions thereof to be
repurchased on such date at the Repurchase Price; provided
that if such deposit is made on the Repurchase Date it must be
received by the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, by
11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date.
If the Trustee or
other Paying Agent appointed by the Company, or the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company, if it or such Affiliate is acting as the
Paying Agent, holds money or Common Stock, if permitted hereunder,
sufficient to pay the aggregate Repurchase Price of all the New
Notes or portions thereof that are to be repurchased on the
Repurchase Date, then, on and after the Business Day following such
date (i) such New Notes will cease to be outstanding,
(ii) Interest on such New Notes will cease to accrue (whether
or not book-entry
35
transfer of the
New Notes has been made or the New Notes have been delivered to the
Trustee or Paying Agent) and (iii) all other rights of the
holders of such New Notes will terminate (other than the right to
receive the Repurchase Price upon transfer or delivery of the New
Notes).
(c) Upon
receipt by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the
Company) of a Repurchase Election, the holder of the New Note in
respect of which such Repurchase Election was given shall (unless
such notice is validly withdrawn) thereafter be entitled to receive
solely the Repurchase Price with respect to such New Note. Such
Repurchase Price shall be paid to such holder, subject to receipt
of funds and/or New Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent
appointed by the Company), promptly (but in no event more than five
(5) Business Days) following the later of (x) the
Repurchase Date with respect to such New Note (provided the holder
has satisfied the conditions in Section 3.05(c) or
Section 3.06(b), as applicable) and (y) the time of
book-entry transfer or delivery of such New Note to the Trustee (or
other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the holder thereof
in the manner required by Section 3.06(a) or
Section 3.06(b), as applicable. New Notes in respect of which
a Repurchase Election has been given by the holder thereof may not
be converted pursuant to Article 14 hereof on or after the
date of the delivery of such Repurchase Election unless such notice
has first been validly withdrawn.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, any holder delivering to the
office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the
Company) a Repurchase Election shall have the right to withdraw
such election, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the close
of business on the Business Day preceding the Repurchase Date (or
any such later time as may be required by applicable law) by
delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Trustee (or other
Paying Agent appointed by the Company) specifying:
(i) the principal
amount of the New Note with respect to which such notice of
withdrawal is being submitted,
(ii) the
certificate number, if any, of the New Note in respect of which
such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, or the appropriate
Depositary information if the New Note in respect of which such
notice of withdrawal is being submitted is represented by a Global
Note, and
(iii) the
principal amount, if any, of such New Note which remains subject to
the original Repurchase Election and which has been or will be
delivered for repurchase by the Company.
If the New Notes
are not in certificated form, holders must provide notice of their
withdrawal in accordance with the appropriate procedures of the
Depositary.
36
The Trustee (or
other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify
the Company of the receipt by it of any Repurchase Election or
written notice of withdrawal thereof.
If a Repurchase
Election is given and then withdrawn pursuant to this
Section 3.08(d) the Company shall have no obligation to
purchase the New Notes listed in such Repurchase
Election.
(e) The
Company will comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4 and any
other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act to the extent then
applicable in connection with the repurchase rights of the holders
of New Notes in the event of a Fundamental Change or on any Company
Repurchase Date. If then required by applicable rules, the Company
will file a Schedule TO or any other schedule required in
connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase New
Notes.
(f) There
shall be no repurchase of any New Notes pursuant to
Section 3.05 or Section 3.06 if there has occurred at any
time prior to, and is continuing on, the Repurchase Date an Event
of Default (other than an Event of Default that is cured by the
payment of the Repurchase Price with respect to such New Notes).
The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective holders
thereof any New Notes (x) with respect to which a Repurchase
Election has been withdrawn in compliance with this Indenture, or
(y) held by it during the continuance of an Event of Default
(other than a default in the payment of the Repurchase Price with
respect to such New Notes) in which case, upon such return, the
Repurchase Election with respect thereto shall be deemed to have
been withdrawn.
(g) The
Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall
return to the Company any cash that remains unclaimed as provided
in Section 12.03, together with interest, if any, thereon,
held by them for the payment of the Repurchase Price;
provided that to the extent that the aggregate amount of
cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.08(b)
exceeds the aggregate Repurchase Price of the New Notes or portions
thereof which the Company is obligated to purchase as of the
Repurchase Date then, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the
Company, promptly after the Business Day following the Repurchase
Date, the Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company
together with interest, if any, thereon.
(h) In the
case of a reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding
share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which
Section 14.08 applies, in which the Common Stock of the
Company is changed or exchanged as a result into the right to
receive cash, securities or other property, which includes shares
of Common Stock of the Company or shares of common stock of another
Person that are, or upon issuance will be, traded on a United
States national securities exchange or approved for trading on an
established automated over-the-counter trading market in the United
States and such shares constitute at the time
37
such change or
exchange becomes effective in excess of 50% of the aggregate fair
market value of such cash, securities or other property (as
determined by the Company, which determination shall be conclusive
and binding), then the Person formed by such consolidation or
resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets, as the

any Interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, and
upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be
immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the
New Notes contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of
Default specified in Section 6.01(k) or Section 6.01(l)
occurs, the principal of all the New Notes and any Interest accrued
thereon shall be immediately and automatically due and payable
without necessity of further action. This provision, however, is
subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal
of the New Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and
before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due
shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the
Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum
sufficient to pay all matured installments of Interest upon all New
Notes and the principal of any and all New Notes which shall have
become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue
installments of Interest (to the extent that payment of such

at the rate borne by the New Notes, to the date of such payment or
deposit) and amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 7.06, and if any and
45
all defaults
under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal of and
accrued Interest on New Notes which shall have become due by
acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to
Section 6.07, then and in every such case the holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the New Notes then
outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee,
may waive all defaults or Events of Default and rescind and annul
such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver or
rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any
subsequent default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right
consequent thereon. The Company shall notify in writing a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee, promptly upon becoming aware
thereof, of any Event of Default.
In case the
Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this
Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or
abandoned because of such waiver or rescission and annulment or for
any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the
Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the holders of
New Notes, and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their
several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies
and powers of the Company, the holders of New Notes, and the
Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been
taken.
Section 6.02. Payments of New Notes on Default; Suit
Therefor. The Company covenants that (a) in case default
shall be made in the payment of any installment of Interest upon
any of the New Notes as and when the same shall become due and
payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of
thirty (30) days, or (b) in case default shall be made in
the payment of the principal of any of the New Notes as and when
the same shall have become due and payable, whether at maturity of
the New Notes or in connection with any redemption, repurchase,
acceleration, declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the
Trustee, the Company, or the Guarantor, in accordance with
Article 15, will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
holders of the New Notes, the whole amount that then shall have
become due and payable on all such New Notes for principal or
Interest, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue
principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is
enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue installments of
Interest at the rate borne by the New Notes, and, in addition
thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the
costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation
to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06. Until such demand
by the Trustee, the Company may pay the principal of and Interest
on the New Notes to the registered holders, whether or not the New
Notes are overdue.
In case the
Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand,
the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust,
shall be entitled and empowered to institute any actions or
proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so
due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such
46
action or
proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such
judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor
on the New Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of
the property of the Company or any other obligor on the New Notes
wherever situated the monies adjudged or decreed to be
payable.
In case there
shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the
reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the New Notes
under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other applicable
law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or
reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall
have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such
other obligor, the property of the Company, or such other obligor,
or in the case of any other judicial proceedings relative to the
Company or such other obligor upon the New Notes, or to the
creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the
Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the New Notes
shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee
shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 6.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention
in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or
claims for the whole amount of principal and Interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the New Notes, and, in case of any judicial
proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee and of the Noteholders allowed in such
judicial proceedings relative to the Company, or any other obligor
on the New Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property,
and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after
the deduction of any amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.06, and to take any other action with respect to
such claims, including participating as a member of any official
committee of creditors, as it reasonably deems necessary or
advisable, and unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations.
Any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization,
liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by
each of the Noteholders to make such payments to the Trustee, and,
in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and
disbursements, including counsel fees and expenses incurred by it
up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such
payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and
disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be
denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a
lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions,
dividends, monies, securities and other property which the holders
of the New Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings,
whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or
arrangement or otherwise.
47
All rights of
action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any
of the New Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the New Notes, or the production thereof at
any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit
or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own
name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment
shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the holders
of the New Notes.
In any proceedings
brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the
interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the
Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent
all the holders of the New Notes, and it shall not be necessary to
make any holders of the New Notes parties to any such
proceedings.
Section 6.03. Application of Monies Collected by
Trustee. Any monies or other property collected by the Trustee
pursuant to this Article 6, or any monies or other property
otherwise distributable in respect of the Company’s
obligations under this Indenture, shall be applied in the order
following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the
distribution of such monies, upon presentation of the several New
Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid,
and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

Trustee) under Section 7.06;

the principal of the outstanding New Notes shall not have become
due and be unpaid, to the payment of Interest on the New Notes in
default in the order of the maturity of the installments of such
Interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been
collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of Interest
at the rate borne by the New Notes, such payments to be made
ratably to the Persons entitled thereto;
THIRD: In case the
principal of the outstanding New Notes shall have become due, by
declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid, to the payment of the
