(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.

(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.

 

25


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

28


 

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.

29


 

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.

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.
