further, that any modification or deletion of the rights, duties or
immunities of the Trustee hereunder shall have been consented to in
writing by the Trustee).
All
Securities of any one Series need not be issued at the same time
and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of
this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to the Board
Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s
Certificate referred to above, and the authorized principal amount
of any Series may be increased to provide for issuances of
additional Securities of such Series, unless otherwise provided in
such Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officer’s
Certificate.
Section 2.3
Execution and Authentication .
Two
Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or
facsimile signature.
If
an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that
office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security
shall nevertheless be valid.
A
Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual
signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature
shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been
authenticated under this Indenture.
The
Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate
Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in
the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture
9
hereto or
Officer’s Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a
Company Request. Such Company Request may authorize authentication
and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the
Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral
instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. Any such
electronic instructions shall be in a form acceptable to the
Trustee. Each Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a
supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s
Certificate.
The
aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding
at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal
amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution,
supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate
delivered pursuant to Section 2.2, except as provided in
Section 2.8.
Prior
to the issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have
received and (subject to Section 7.2) shall be fully protected
in relying on: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental
indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate establishing the
form of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that
Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series or of
Securities within that Series, (b) an Officer’s
Certificate complying with Section 11.4, and (c) an Opinion of
Counsel complying with Section 12.4 and covering such other
matters as the Trustee shall reasonably request.
The
Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver
any Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being
advised by counsel, determines that such action may not be taken
lawfully; (b) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of
directors or trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of
directors and/or vice-presidents shall determine that such action
would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any
then outstanding Series of Securities or (c) if the issue of
such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the
Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the
Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
The
Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the
Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may
authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each
reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee
includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has
the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company.
Section 2.4
Registrar and Paying Agent .
The
Company shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Securities,
at the place or places specified with respect to such Series
pursuant to Section 2.2, an office or agency where Securities
of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment
(“Paying Agent”), where Securities of such Series may
be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
(“Registrar”) and where notices and demands to or upon
the Company in respect of the Securities of such Series and this
Indenture may be served (“Service Agent”). The
Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of
Securities issued in registered form and to their transfer and
exchange. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or
address, of each Registrar, Paying Agent or Service
10
Agent. If at
any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required
Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent or shall fail to furnish
the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby
appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.
The
Company may also from time to time designate one or more
co-registrars, additional paying agents or additional service
agents and may from time to time rescind such designations;
provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in
any manner relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain a
Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent in each place so
specified pursuant to Section 2.2 for Securities of any Series
for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to
the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change
in the name or address of any such co-registrar, additional paying
agent or additional service agent. The term “Registrar”
includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying Agent”
includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Service
Agent” includes any additional service agent.
The
Company hereby appoints the Trustee the initial Registrar, Paying
Agent and Service Agent for each Series unless another Registrar,
Paying Agent or Service Agent, as the case may be, is appointed
prior to the time Securities of that Series are first
issued.
Section 2.5
Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust .
The
Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the
benefit of Securityholders of any Series of Securities, or the
Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal of or interest on the Series of Securities, and will
notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such
payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require
a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The
Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money
held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the
Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company) shall have no further liability for the money. If the
Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it
shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit
of Securityholders of any Series of Securities all money held by it
as Paying Agent.
Section 2.6
Securityholder Lists .
The
Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and
addresses of Securityholders of each Series of Securities and shall
otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the
Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten
days before each interest payment date and at such other times as
the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of
such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and
addresses of Securityholders of each Series of
Securities.
11
Section 2.7
Transfer and Exchange .
Where
Securities of a Series in registered form are presented to the
Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer
or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of
the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make
the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To
permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall
authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection
therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental
charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.6
or 9.6).
Every
Security 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 in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly
executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing.
Bearer
Securities shall be transferable by delivery.
Neither
the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue,
register the transfer of, or exchange Securities of any Series for
the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days
immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of
Securities of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the
close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to
register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series
selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the
portion being redeemed of any such Securities selected, called or
being called for redemption in part.
Section 2.8
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities
.
If
any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available
for delivery in exchange therefor a new Security of the same Series
and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.
If
there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee
(i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as
may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of
either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request
the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in
lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security
of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
In
case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has
become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its
discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such
Security.
12
Upon
the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto
and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Trustee) connected therewith.
Every
new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu
of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether
or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of
this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other
Securities of that Series duly issued hereunder.
The
provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Securities.
Section 2.9
Outstanding Securities .
Subject
to Section 2.10, the Securities outstanding at any time are
all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those
canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those
reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the
Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those
described in this Section as not outstanding.
If
a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to
be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide
purchaser.
If
the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the
Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds as of 12:00 p.m.
Eastern Time on the date of Maturity of Securities of a Series
money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then
on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease to be
outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.
A
Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.
In
determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount
of outstanding Securities have given any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the
principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be
outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal
thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such
determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity
thereof pursuant to Section 6.2.
Section 2.10
Treasury Securities .
In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of
Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, Securities of
a Series owned by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company shall
be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether
the Trustee shall be protected in
13
relying on any
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or
waiver only Securities of a Series that a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.
Section 2.11
Temporary Securities .
Until
definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may
prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities
upon a Company Request. Temporary Securities shall be substantially
in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that
the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without
unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee upon
request shall authenticate definitive Securities of the same Series
and date of maturity in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so
exchanged, temporary securities shall have the same rights under
this Indenture as the definitive Securities.
Section 2.12
Cancellation .
The
Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to
the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of
transfer, exchange, replacement or payment. The Trustee shall
cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment,
replacement or cancellation and deliver such canceled Securities to
the Company, unless the Company otherwise directs by Company
Request; provided that the Trustee shall not be required to destroy
Securities. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace
Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation.
Section 2.13
Defaulted Interest .
If
the Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of
Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the
extent permitted by law, any interest payable on the defaulted
interest, to the persons who are Securityholders of the Series on a
subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix the special
record date and payment date. At least 10 days before the
special record date, the Company shall mail to the Trustee and to
each Securityholder of the Series a notice that states the special
record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be
paid. The Company may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful
manner.
Section 2.14
Record Dates for Consents .
(a) The
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, set a record date for
the purpose of determining the identity of Holders entitled to
consent to any supplement, amendment or waiver permitted by this
Indenture. If a record date is fixed, the Holders of such Series
and Securities outstanding on such record date, and no other
Holders, shall be entitled to consent to such supplement, amendment
or waiver or revoke any consent previously given, whether or not
such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No consent
shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such
record date unless consents from Holders of the principal amount of
such Series and Securities required hereunder for such amendment or
waiver to be effective shall have also been given and not revoked
within such 90-day period.
14
(b) The
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix any day as a record
date for the purpose of determining the Holders of any Series of
Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of any notice
of Default, any declaration of acceleration, any request to
institute proceedings or any other similar direction. If a record
date is fixed, the Holders of such Series and Securities
outstanding on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be
entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction,
whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;
provided, however, that no such action shall be effective hereunder
unless taken on or prior to the date 90 days after such record
date.
Section 2.15
Global Securities .
2.15.1
Terms of Securities . A Board Resolution, a supplemental
indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate shall establish
whether the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in
part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the
Depository for such Global Security or Securities.
2.15.2
Transfer and Exchange . Notwithstanding any provisions to
the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of the Indenture and in
addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable
pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture for Securities
registered in the names of Holders other than the Depository for
such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depository
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depository for such Global Security or if at any time such
Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a
successor Depository registered as a clearing agency under the
Exchange Act within 90 days of such event, (ii) the
Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so
exchangeable (subject, however, to the procedures of the
Depository) or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities represented by such Global Security shall have happened
and be continuing. Any Global Security that is exchangeable
pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for
Securities registered in such names as the Depository shall direct
in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms.
Except
as provided in this Section 2.15.2, a Global Security may not
be transferred except as a whole by the Depository with respect to
such Global Security to a nominee of such Depository, by a nominee
of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such
Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor
Depository or a nominee of such a successor Depository.
2.15.3
Legend . Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a
legend in substantially the following form:
“Unless
this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of
The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation
(“DTC”), New York, New York, to the issuer or its agent
for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any
certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or
such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative
of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or such other
entity as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC),
ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER
15
USE HEREOF
FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL
inasmuch as the registered owner
hereof, Cede & Co. has an interest herein.”
“Transfer
of this Global Security shall be limited to transfers in whole, but
not in part, to DTC, to nominees of DTC or to a successor thereof
or such successor’s nominee and limited to transfers made in
accordance with the restrictions set forth in the Indenture
referred to herein.”
2.15.4
Acts of Holders . The Depository, as a Holder, may appoint
agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under
the Indenture.
2.15.5
Payments . Notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.2, payment of the principal of and interest, if any,
on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder
thereof.
2.15.6
Consents, Declaration and Directions . Except as provided in
Section 2.15.5, the Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall
treat a person as the Holder of such principal amount of
outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global
Security as shall be specified in a written statement of the
Depository with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of
obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions
required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this
Indenture.
Section 2.16
CUSIP Numbers .
The
Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP”
numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall
use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a
convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state
that no representation is made as to the correctness of such
numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any
notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the
other elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any
such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission
of such numbers.
Section 2.17
Persons Deemed Owners .
Prior
to due presentment of a Security in registered form for
registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of
the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name such
Security is registered in the Register as the owner of such
Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and
(subject to the record date provisions thereof) interest on and any
Additional Amounts with respect to, such Security and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to
such Security shall be overdue, and none of the Company, the
Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary. The Company, the Trustee and
any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the bearer of a
Bearer Security as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of and interest on and any
Additional Amounts with respect to, such Security and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with
16
respect to such
Security shall be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or
any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.
No
holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on
its behalf by a Depository shall have any rights under this
Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such Depository
may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all
purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying
Agent or the Registrar will have any responsibility or liability
for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on
account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or
for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to
such beneficial ownership interests.
Section 3.1
Notice to Trustee .
The
Company may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the
right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant to
redeem and pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior
to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as
provided for in such Securities. If a Series of Securities is
redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior to
the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities
pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify the
Trustee of the redemption date and the principal amount of Series
of Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall give the notice at
least 45 days before the redemption date (or such shorter
notice as may be acceptable to the Trustee). In the case of any
redemption of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any
restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such
Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (b) pursuant to
an election of the Company which is subject to a condition
specified in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an
