of such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (and the
application of the proceeds thereof) giving rise to the need to
make such calculation and any incurrence or repayment of other
Indebtedness (and the application of the proceeds thereof), other

course of business for working capital purposes pursuant to working
capital facilities, occurring during the Four Quarter Period or at

subject of the Asset Acquisition or asset sale or other
disposition

Period or at any time subsequent to the last day of the Four
Quarter Period and on or prior to the Transaction Date, as if such
asset sale or other disposition or Asset Acquisition (including the
incurrence, assumption or liability for any such Acquired
Indebtedness) occurred on the first day of the Four Quarter Period.
If such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries directly or
indirectly guarantees Indebtedness of a third Person, the preceding
sentence shall give effect to the incurrence of such guaranteed
Indebtedness as if such Person or any Restricted Subsidiary of such
Person had directly incurred or otherwise assumed such guaranteed
Indebtedness.
For purposes of this definition, Transaction
Date means the date of the incurrence, repayment, asset sale,
disposition or Asset Acquisition, as applicable, giving rise to the
need to calculate the Distributable Amount to Consolidated Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio.

Fixed Charges” for purposes of determining the denominator of
this “Distributable Amount to Consolidated Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio”:
(1) interest on outstanding Indebtedness determined
on a fluctuating basis as of the Transaction Date and which will
continue to be so determined thereafter shall be deemed to have
accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on
such Indebtedness in effect on the Transaction Date; and
(2) notwithstanding clause (1) above, interest on
Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such
interest is covered by agreements relating to Interest Rate Hedging
Agreements, shall be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum

agreements.

governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
therewith.
Section 2.02 Terms of the Debentures .
The following terms relating to the Debentures
are hereby established:
(a) Stated Maturity . The entire outstanding principal of the
Debentures shall be due and payable, unless accelerated, redeemed
or required to be repurchased pursuant to the Indenture, on
September 30, 2022.
(i) The rate at which the Debentures shall bear
interest shall be 6.50% per annum; the date from which interest
shall accrue on the Debentures shall be the Issue Date, or the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or
provided for. Interest shall be paid in cash. No contingent
interest will be paid with respect to the Debentures.
(ii) If the Company elects to redeem, or the Holders
elect to require the Company to repurchase, the Debentures on a
date that is after the Regular Record Date and prior to the
corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company will pay accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, on the Debentures to, but not
including, the applicable Redemption Date, Purchase Date or Change
of Control Purchase Date, as the case may be, to the holder of
record on the Regular Record Date.
Except as provided below, if any Debentures are
surrendered for conversion on any date other than an Interest
Payment Date, the Holder of such Debentures will not be entitled to
receive any interest, if any, that has accrued on such Debentures
since the prior Interest Payment Date. By delivery to the Holder of
the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other consideration
issuable upon conversion in accordance with Article 16 of the
Indenture (as amended by Section 2.11 of this Second Supplemental
Indenture), any accrued and unpaid interest on such Debentures will
be deemed to have been paid in full.
All Holders agree, by their acceptance of a
Debenture, that if a Holder of Debentures converts on a date after
a Regular Record Date for an interest payment but prior to the
corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Holder of such Debentures
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the immediately
preceding Regular Record Date to receive interest due on an
Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date)
will receive on that Interest Payment Date accrued and unpaid
interest on such Debentures, but, at the time the Holder surrenders
such Debentures for conversion, the Holder must pay the Company the
interest that has accrued and will be paid on such Interest Payment
Date. No such payment need be made with respect to Debentures that
will be redeemed by the Company after a Regular Record Date but
prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
(iii) If the principal amount of or any portion of
such principal amount of, or any interest, if any, on, any
Debentures is not paid when due (whether upon acceleration pursuant
to Section 5.2 of the Indenture or on the Stated Maturity or on
Redemption Date, Purchase Date or Change of Control Purchase Date),
then in each such case the overdue amount shall, to the extent
permitted by law, bear interest at the applicable interest rate,
compounded semi-annually, which interest shall accrue from the date
of such overdue amount was originally due to the date of payment of
such amount, including interest thereon, has been made or duly
provided for. All such interest shall be payable on
demand.
(c) Paying Agent and Conversion Agent
. The Company shall maintain an
office or agency where Debentures may be presented for purchase or
payment (“Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where
Debentures may be presented for conversion (“Conversion
Agent”). The Company may have one or more additional Paying
Agents and one or more additional Conversion Agents.
The Company shall enter into an appropriate
agency agreement with any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent (other
than the Trustee). The agreement shall implement the provisions of
this Indenture that relate to such agent. If the Company fails to
maintain a Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act
as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor
pursuant to Section 6.7 of the Indenture. The Company or any
Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any of them may act as Paying Agent
or Conversion Agent.
The Company initially appoints the Trustee as
Conversion Agent and Paying Agent in connection with the
Debentures. The Trustee shall be entitled to appropriate
compensation for acting in such capacities.
(i) The Place of Payment for the Debentures and the
place or places where the Debentures may be surrendered for
registration of transfer, exchange, repurchase, redemption or
conversion and where notices may be given to the Company in respect
of the Debentures is at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee
or such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated
for such purpose. Payment of principal and interest, if any, on the
Debentures will be in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts (or shares as provided above or a
combination of cash and those shares).
(ii) The Company will pay principal on (1) global
Debentures to the Depositary in immediately available funds and (2)
any definitive Debentures in immediately available funds at the
Company’s office or agency in New York City, which initially
will be the Place of Payment as provided in Section 10.2 of the
Indenture.
(iii) The Company will pay interest, if any, on (1)
global Debentures to the Depositary in immediately available funds,
(2) any definitive Debentures having an aggregate principal amount
of $5,000,000 or less by check mailed to the Holders of such
Debentures, and (3) any definitive Debentures having an aggregate
principal amount of more than $5,000,000 by wire transfer in
immediately available funds if requested by the Holders of such
Debentures. At Stated Maturity the Company will pay interest on (1)
any definitive Debentures at the Company’s office or agency
in New York City, which initially will be the Place of Payment as
provided in Section 10.2 of the Indenture and (2) or global
Debenture to the Depositary in immediately available
funds.
(i) At the Option of the Company
. At any time from October 1, 2008,
the Company, at its option, may redeem in principal amounts of
$1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 the Debentures for cash as a
whole, or from time to time in part, at a Redemption Price of 114%
of the principal amount of the Debentures, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption
Date:
(ii) Mandatory Redemption with Extraordinary
Dividends . From
January 1, 2006 to and including December 31, 2006, in the
event the Company receives any Extraordinary Dividends from any of
its subsidiaries, the Company shall redeem the Debentures and the
Publicly Issued Debentures, pro rata in principal amounts of $1,000
or integral multiples of $1,000 with 50% of the amount of such
dividends for cash at a Redemption Price of 110% of the principal
amount of the Debentures plus accrued unpaid interest, if any, to
the Redemption Date. The aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures plus the Publicly Issued Debentures to be redeemed
pursuant to this Section 2.02(e)(ii) shall not exceed
$35,000,000.
(iii) Additional Terms of Redemption.
For redemptions pursuant to clause
(i) above, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Holders of
any redemption at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to any
redemption by mail. For redemptions pursuant to clause (ii) above,
the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Holders by mail no
later than five (5) days after the receipt by it of an
Extraordinary Dividend from any Subsidiary (and at least 20
Business Days, but no more than 45 Business Days prior to the
Redemption Date), which notice shall specify the amount of the
Extraordinary Dividend and the Redemption Date. All notices of
redemptions will contain information concerning the premium, if
any, payable with respect to the applicable redemption. No less
than one (1) Business Day prior to the Redemption Date specified in
the Company’s notice, the Holders shall provide the Company
with notice of their election to receive any premium payable with
respect to the applicable redemption in the Applicable Stock. Such
notice will contain the information set forth in Section
13.1(1)(A), (B) and (C) of the Original Indenture (as amended by
Section 2.09 of this Second Supplemental Indenture). Any Holder who
fails to provide a notice of election to receive the applicable
premium in shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock shall
be deemed to have elected to receive cash in respect of any
applicable premium for all Debentures subject to the redemption in
which a premium is payable. The Company shall provide the Trustee
with copies of the Holders’ notices of election immediately
upon receipt.
Debentures or portions thereof to be redeemed as
of a Redemption Date will be convertible by the Holders of such
Debentures until the close of business on the second Business Day
prior to the Redemption Date.
If the Company does not redeem all of the
Debentures, the Trustee shall select the Debentures to be redeemed
in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof, by
lot or on a pro rata basis. If any Debentures are to be redeemed in
part only, the Company shall issue a Security or Debenture with a
principal amount equal to the unredeemed principal portion thereof.
If a portion of a Holder’s Securities or Debentures is
selected for partial redemption and the Holder converts a portion
of its Securities or Debentures the converted portion shall be
deemed to be taken from the portion selected for
redemption.
(i) Upon a Change of Control, the Debentures shall
be purchased by the Company, at the option of the Holder thereof,
at a price equal to the price (which, in this context shall be the
“Change of Control Purchase Price”) set forth below and
in Section 7 of the Debentures and in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture, including, without limitation,

(iii) On June 30, 2009 the Debentures shall be
repurchased by the Company, at the option of the Holders, at the
Repurchase Price of 114% of the principal amount of the Debentures
to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
Purchase Date and in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture including, without limitation, Article 13 (as amended by
Section 2.09 of this Second Supplemental Indenture) .
(g) Premium Payable in Stock at Option of the
Holder .
(i) In connection with any premium (the portion of
the consideration payable in excess of principal amount) payable to
a Holder of the Debentures in connection with redemptions pursuant
to Section 2.02(e)(i) and (ii) of this Second Supplemental
Indenture and repurchases pursuant to Section 2.02(f) of this
Second Supplemental Indenture which, in each case, results from an
event or action occurring on or prior to June 30, 2009, each Holder
will have the option to elect to receive such premium in cash or in
shares of Applicable Stock (defined below). For the purposes of
calculating the number of shares issuable to any Holder of the
Debentures who elects to exercise such option, the shares of
Applicable Stock will be valued at $8.00 per share as adjusted
pursuant to Section 16.3 of the Indenture (as amended by Section
2.11 of this Second Supplemental Indenture) as if such $8.00 were
the Conversion Price. In lieu of issuing any fractional shares of
the Applicable Stock, the Company shall pay the remainder of the
premium in cash as if the cash value of a full share were $8.00. In
the event any premium is payable to a Holder in Applicable Stock,
the Company shall, to the extent applicable, comply with the tender
offer rules and all other applicable laws in accordance with
Section 13.7 of the Indenture (as amended by 2.09 of this Second
Supplemental Indenture).
(ii) The Company shall designate, in the notice
delivered pursuant to Sections 2.02(e)(iii) and 2.02(f) of this
Second Supplemental Indenture and Sections 13.1 and 13.2 of the
Indenture (as amended by Section 2.09 of this Second Supplemental
Indenture), the number of shares of Applicable Stock (defined
below) payable for any applicable premium; provided that the
Company will pay cash for fractional interests as set forth
below.
“Applicable Stock” means (i) the
Class A Common Stock and (ii) in the event of a merger,
consolidation or other similar transaction involving the Company
that is otherwise permitted hereunder in which the Company is not
the surviving corporation, the common stock, ordinary shares or
American Depositary Shares of such surviving corporation or its
direct or indirect parent corporation.
(iii) On each Redemption Date, Change of Control
Purchase Date, Asset Sale Purchase Date or Purchase Date, in each
case, resulting from an event or action occurring on or prior to
June 30, 2009, any applicable premium shall be paid, at the option
of the Holder, in shares of Applicable Stock equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount of the premium that a
Holder has elected to be paid in shares of Applicable Stock by (ii)
$8.00 as adjusted pursuant to Section 16.3 of the Indenture (as
amended by Section 2.11 of this Second Supplemental Indenture) as
if such $8.00 value were the Conversion Price.
The Company will not issue fractional shares of
Applicable Stock in payment of any premium. Instead, the Company
will pay cash equal to $8.00 times such fraction for all fractional
shares.
The Company’s issuance of shares of
Applicable Stock shall be conditioned upon:
(i) the registration of such shares of Applicable
Stock under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, in each case,
if required;
(ii) such shares of Applicable Stock being first
listed on a national securities exchange or such shares of
Applicable Stock being first quoted in an inter-dealer quotation
system of any registered United States national securities
association;
(iii) any necessary qualification or registration
under applicable state securities laws or the availability of an
exemption from such qualification and registration; and
(iv) the receipt by the Trustee of an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating
that (A) the terms of the issuance of the shares of Applicable
Stock are in conformity with this Indenture and (B) the shares of
Applicable Stock to be issued by the Company in payment of the
applicable premium in respect of Debentures have been duly
authorized and, when issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of
this Indenture in payment of the applicable premiums, in respect of
the Debentures, will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge,
free from preemptive rights, and, in the case of such
Officer’s Certificate, setting forth the number of Applicable
Stock to be issued and stating that all applicable conditions have
been satisfied and, in the case of such Opinion of Counsel, stating
that the conditions in clauses (i) through (iii) above have been
satisfied.
The Company hereby covenants to satisfy the
foregoing conditions.
Upon determination of the actual number of
shares of Applicable Stock to be issued, the Company shall
disseminate a press release through Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
or Bloomberg Business News containing this information or publish
the information through such other public medium as the Company may
use at that time.
(i) All shares of Class A Common Stock delivered in
respect of any applicable premium shall be newly issued shares or
treasury shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable, and shall be free from preemptive rights
and free of any Lien or adverse claim.
(ii) If a Holder is paid in shares of Applicable
Stock, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar
issue or transfer tax due on such issue of Applicable Stock.
However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the
Holder requests the Applicable Stock to be issued in a name other
than the Holder’s name. The Paying Agent may refuse to
deliver the certificates
representing
the shares of Applicable Stock being issued in a name other than
the Holder’s name until the Paying Agent receives a sum
sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the shares of
Applicable 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.
(h) Conversion . The Debentures shall be convertible at any
time prior to the Stated Maturity from and after the date of
issuance in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture,
including, without limitation, Article 16 (as amended by Section
2.11 of this Second Supplemental Indenture).
“Conversion Price” means initially
$16.368, subject to adjustment as set forth in Article 16 of the
Indenture (as amended by Section 2.11 of this Second Supplemental
Indenture).
(i) Restrictions on Transfer .
(i) Every Debenture that bears or is required under
this Section 2.02(i)(i) to bear the legend set forth in this
Section (together with any Common Stock issued upon conversion of
the Debentures and required to bear the legend set forth in
Subsection (ii) below, collectively, the “Restricted
Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer
set forth in this Subsection (i) (including those set forth in the
legend below) unless such restrictions on transfer shall be waived
by written consent of the Company, and the holder of each such
Restricted Security, by such holder’s acceptance thereof,
agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in
Section 2.02(i)(i) and (ii), the term “transfer”
encompasses any sale, pledge, loan, transfer or other disposition
whatsoever of any Restricted Security or any interest
therein.
(1) Until the expiration of the holding period
applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities
Act (or any successor provision), any certificate evidencing any
Debenture (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or
substitution thereof, other than Common Stock, if any, issued upon
conversion thereof, which shall bear the legend set forth in
Section 2.02(i)(ii), if applicable) shall bear a legend in
substantially the following form, unless any Debenture has been
sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared
effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be
effective at the time of such transfer) or pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act or any similar provision then in force, or
unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, with written
notice thereof to the Trustee:
THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER
JURISDICTION. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR
PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED,
PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH
REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT
SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION. THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY, BY ITS
ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, (1) REPRESENTS THAT IT IS
A
“QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS
DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
(“RULE 144A”)); (2) AGREES ON ITS OWN BEHALF
AND ON BEHALF OF ANY INVESTOR ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT HAS PURCHASED
SECURITIES, TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH SECURITY OR
ANY COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF SUCH SECURITY, PRIOR
TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE HOLDING PERIOD APPLICABLE TO SALES OF THIS
SECURITY UNDER RULE 144(k) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY
SUCCESSOR PROVISION), ONLY (A) TO PMA CAPITAL CORPORATION (THE
“ISSUER”), (B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
(AND WHICH CONTINUES TO BE EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME OF SUCH TRANSFER),
(C) FOR SO LONG AS THE SECURITIES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE
PURSUANT TO RULE 144A, IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A TO A
PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER
THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A
QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE
TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A OR (D)
PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT TO THE ISSUER'S AND THE
TRUSTEE'S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER PURSUANT
TO CLAUSE (D) TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION SATISFACTORY TO
EACH OF THEM; AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH
PERSON TO WHOM THIS SECURITY IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY
TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE
EARLIER OF THE TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY PURSUANT TO
CLAUSE 2(B) ABOVE OR UPON ANY TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY UNDER
RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR
PROVISION).
(2) Debentures resold to persons who are not QIBs
will be issued in definitive registered form and may not be
represented by the global Debenture. Any transfer of a beneficial
interest in the global Debenture which cannot be effected through
book-entry settlement must be effected by the delivery to the
transferee (or its nominee) of a definitive Debenture or Debentures
registered in the name of the transferee (or its nominee) on the
books maintained by the Trustee in accordance with the transfer
restrictions set forth herein. With respect to any such transfer,
the Trustee or the custodian, at the direction of the
Trustee, will
cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures
existing between the Depositary and the custodian, the aggregate
principal amount of the global Debenture to be reduced by the
principal amount of the beneficial interest in the global Debenture
being transferred and, following such reduction, the Company will
execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the
transferee (or such transferee's nominee, as the case may be), a
Debenture or Debentures in the appropriate aggregate principal
amount in the name of such transferee (or its nominee) and bearing
such restrictive legends as may be required by this Second
Supplemental Indenture.
(3) So long as the Debentures are eligible for
book-entry settlement, unless otherwise required by law, upon any
transfer of a definitive Debenture to a QIB in accordance with Rule
144A under the Securities Act and upon receipt of the definitive
Debenture or Debentures being so transferred, together with a
certification from the transferor that the transferee is a QIB (or
other evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee), the
Trustee shall make or direct the custodian to make, an endorsement
on the global Debenture to reflect an increase in the aggregate
principal amount of the Debentures represented by the global
Debenture by the principal amount of the Debenture being
transferred to the QIB, the Trustee shall cancel such definitive
Debenture or Debentures and cause, or direct the custodian to
cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures
existing between the Depositary and the custodian, the aggregate
principal amount of Debentures represented by the global Debenture
to be increased accordingly; provided , that , no
definitive Debenture, or portion thereof, in respect of which the
Company or an Affiliate of the Company held any beneficial interest
shall be included in the global Debenture until such definitive
Debenture is freely tradable in accordance with Rule 144(k) under
the Securities Act; provided , further , that
, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Debentures in
definitive form upon any transfer of a beneficial interest in the
global Debenture to the Company or any Affiliate of the
Company.
(4) Any global Debenture may be endorsed with or
have incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or
changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Supplemental
Indenture as may be required by the custodian, the Depositary or by
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. in order for
the Debentures to be tradeable on The Portal Market or as may be
required for the Debentures to be tradeable on any other market
developed for trading of securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act or required to comply with any applicable law or any
regulation thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any
securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the
Debentures may be listed or traded or designated for issuance or to
conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any
special limitations or restrictions to which any particular
Debentures are subject.
(5) Any Debenture (or security issued in exchange
or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer
shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to
conditions for the removal of the foregoing legend may have been
satisfied may, upon surrender of such Debenture for exchange to the
Debenture registrar in accordance with the provisions of this
Section, be exchanged for a new Debenture or Debentures, of like
tenor and
aggregate
principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend
required by this Section. If the Restricted Security surrendered
for exchange is represented by a global Debenture bearing the
legend set forth in this Section 2.02(i)(i), the principal amount
of the legended global Debenture shall be reduced by the
appropriate principal amount and the principal amount of a global
Debenture without the legend set forth in this Section 2.02(i)(i)
shall be increased by an equal principal amount. If a global
Debenture without the legend set forth in this Section 2.02(i)(i)
has not been executed, authenticated and delivered, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver an
unlegended global Debenture to the Depositary.
(ii) Until the expiration of the holding period
applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities
Act (or any successor provision), any stock certificate
representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of any Debenture
shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, unless
such Common Stock has been sold pursuant to a registration
statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act
(and which continues to be effective at the time of such transfer)
or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any similar
provision then in force, or such Common Stock has been issued upon
conversion of Debentures that have been transferred pursuant to a
registration statement that has been declared effective under the
Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or
any similar provision then in force, or unless otherwise agreed by
the Company in writing with written notice thereof to the transfer
agent:
THE
COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER
JURISDICTION. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR
PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED,
PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH
REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT
SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION. THE HOLDER OF THIS COMMON STOCK, BY
ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, (1) REPRESENTS THAT IT IS A
“QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN
RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
(“RULE 144A”)); (2) AGREES ON ITS OWN BEHALF
AND ON BEHALF OF ANY INVESTOR ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT HAS PURCHASED
SECURITIES, TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH COMMON STOCK,
PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE HOLDING PERIOD APPLICABLE TO SALES
OF COMMON STOCK UNDER RULE 144(k) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR
ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION), ONLY (A) TO PMA CAPITAL CORPORATION
(THE “ISSUER”), (B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE
UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT (AND WHICH CONTINUES TO BE EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME
OF SUCH TRANSFER), (C) FOR SO LONG AS THE COMMON STOCK IS
ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A, IN COMPLIANCE WITH
RULE 144A TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED
INSTITUTIONAL BUYER THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE
ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN
THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A OR
(D) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT TO THE ISSUER'S AND THE
TRUSTEE'S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER PURSUANT
TO CLAUSE (D) TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION SATISFACTORY TO
EACH OF THEM; AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH
PERSON TO WHOM THIS COMMON STOCK IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE
SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. THIS LEGEND WILL BE
REMOVED UPON THE EARLIER OF THE TRANSFER OF THIS COMMON STOCK
PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 2(B) ABOVE OR UPON ANY TRANSFER OF THIS
SECURITY UNDER RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY
SUCCESSOR PROVISION).
Any such Common Stock as to which such
restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with
their terms may, upon surrender of the certificates representing
such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the
procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged
for a new certificate or certificates for a like aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive
legend required by this Section 2.02(i)(ii).
(iii) Any Debenture or Common Stock issued upon the
conversion or exchange of a Debenture that, prior to the expiration
of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k)
under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), is purchased
or owned by the Company or any Affiliate thereof may not be resold
by the Company or such Affiliate unless registered under the
Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction
which results in such Debentures or Common Stock, as the case may
be, no longer being “restricted securities” (as defined
under Rule 144 under the Securities Act); or provided ,
that , such restriction shall not apply if appropriate
measures are taken that such Debentures or Common Stock are sold in
such a manner that such other Debentures and Common Stock that
constitute “restricted securities” (as defined under
Rule 144 under the Securities Act) are not commingled with
Debentures or Common Stock being sold.
The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to
monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any
restrictions on transfer imposed under this Supplemental Indenture
or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any
interest in any Debenture (including any transfers between or among
Agent Members or beneficial holders of interests in any global
Debenture) other than to require delivery of such certificates and
other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and
to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this
Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial
compliance as to form with the express requirements
hereof.
(j) Rule 144A Information Requirement
. Within the period prior to the
expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under
Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision),
the Company covenants and agrees that it shall, during any period
in which it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) under the
Exchange Act, make available to any holder or beneficial holder of
Debentures or any Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof which
continue to be Restricted Securities in connection with any sale
thereof and any prospective purchaser of Debentures or such Common
Stock designated by such holder or beneficial holder, the
information required pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
Securities Act upon the request of any holder or beneficial holder
of the Debentures or such Common Stock and it will take such
further action as any holder or beneficial holder of such
Debentures or such Common Stock may reasonably request, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such holder or
beneficial holder to sell its Debentures or Common Stock without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemption provided by Rule 144A, as such Rule may be amended from
time to time. Upon the request of any holder or any beneficial
holder of the Debentures or such Common Stock, the Company will
deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such requirements.
Section 2.03 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights
Reserved .
Except as may be provided in a Future
Supplemental Indenture, for the sole benefit of the Holders of the
Debentures, Section 3.7 of the Original Indenture shall be amended
by replacing the final paragraph of Section 3.7 of the Original
Indenture with the following paragraph:
In the event Securities of any series or a
portion thereof is surrendered for conversion or exchange during a
period after the Regular Record Date immediately preceding any
Interest Payment Date and on or prior to such Interest Payment Date
(unless such Securities or portion thereof which is being
surrendered for conversion or exchange has been called for
redemption on a Redemption Date within such period), the Company
will pay on such Interest Payment Date or payment date, as the case
may be, interest due and payable on such Interest Payment Date or
payment date, as the case may be, notwithstanding such conversion
or exchange, and the Company will pay such interest (whether or not
punctually paid or duly provided for) to the Person in whose name
such Securities (or one or more Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date;
provided, however, that such payment of interest shall be subject
to the payment to the Company by the Holder of such Securities or
portion thereof surrendered for conversion or exchange (such
payment to accompany such surrender) of an amount equal to the
amount of such interest, in accordance with Section 16.9 hereof.
Except as otherwise provided in the immediately preceding sentence,
in the case of any Security which is converted, interest due and
payable after the date of conversion of such Security shall not be
payable.
Section 2.04 Events of Default; Acceleration of
Maturity .
(a) Except as may be provided by a Future
Supplemental Indenture, for the benefit of the Holders of all
Securities, including the Debentures, Section 5.1 of the Original
Indenture shall be amended by deleting Subsections (1) and (2)
thereof in their entirety and replacing such Subsections with new
Subsections (1) and (2) and adding new Subsections (9), (10), (11),
(12) and (13) to Section 5.1 thereof, and changing Subsection (9)
of Section 5.1 thereof to Subsection (14), as follows:
