SECTION 2.02 Form and
Dating.
The Securities of each series will be
substantially in the form established by an indenture supplemental
hereto relating to the Securities of that series. The Securities
may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock
exchange rules or usage. The Company will approve the form of the
Securities and any notation, legend or endorsement thereon. Each
Security will be dated as of the date of its authentication
pursuant to Section 2.03.
SECTION 2.03 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 be valid
nevertheless.
A Security shall not be valid until
authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature
shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been
authenticated under this Indenture.
The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the
Company signed by one Officer of the Company, authenticate for
original issue Securities in aggregate principal amount specified
in such order.
The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent
reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities.
Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, 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 2.04 Registrar and Paying
Agent.
The Company shall maintain an office or agency
where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or
for exchange (the “ Registrar ”) and an
office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the
“ Paying Agent ”). The Registrar shall
keep a register of the Securities (the “
Register ”) and of their transfer and exchange.
The Company may appoint one or more co-Registrars and one or more
additional Paying Agents for the Securities. The term “Paying
Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term
“Registrar” includes any additional registrar. The
Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior
notice to any Holder.
The Company shall enter into an appropriate
agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture,
which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA and implement the
terms of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company
shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and
address of any Agent who is not a party to this Indenture. If the
Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or
Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any
Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent or Registrar;
provided, however, that none of the Company, its
Subsidiaries or the Affiliates of the foregoing shall act
(i) as Paying Agent in connection with redemptions, offers to
purchase, discharges and defeasance, as otherwise specified in this
Indenture, and (ii) as Paying Agent or Registrar if a Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
The Company initially appoints The Depository
Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to the Global
Securities.
The Company hereby initially appoints the
Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent for the
Securities.
SECTION 2.05 Paying Agent to Hold
Assets in Trust.
Not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City
time) on each due date of the principal and interest on any
Securities, the Company shall deposit with one or more Paying
Agents money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such
principal and interest so becoming due. The Company shall require
each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that
the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or
the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Securities (whether such money has
been paid to it by the Company or any other obligor on the
Securities) and shall notify the Trustee of any failure by the
Company (or any other obligor on the Securities) in making any such
payment. While any such failure continues, the Trustee may require
a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to
account for any funds disbursed. 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 so paid over to the Trustee.
If the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company
or any Affiliate of any of them acts as Paying Agent, it shall,
prior to or on each due date of any principal of or interest on the
Securities, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the
benefit of the Holders a sum of money sufficient with monies held
by all other Paying Agents, to pay such principal or interest so
becoming due until such sum of money shall be paid to such Holders
or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture, and will
promptly notify the Trustee of its actions or failure to
act.
SECTION 2.06 Holder
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 Holders and shall otherwise comply
with Section 312(a) of the TIA. If the Trustee is not the
Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee prior to or on
each interest payment date for the Securities 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 Holders relating to such interest payment
date or request, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.07 General Provisions
Relating to Transfer and Exchange.
The Securities are issuable only in registered
form. A Holder may transfer a Security only by written application
to the Registrar or another transfer agent stating the name of the
proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this
Indenture. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such
transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final
acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the
Register. Prior to the registration of any transfer by a Holder as
provided herein, the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the
Company shall treat the person in whose name the Security is
registered as the owner thereof for all purposes whether or not the
Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee,
nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance
of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial
interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a
book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Security
(or its agent) and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the
Security shall be required to be reflected in a
book-entry.
When Securities are presented to the Registrar
or another transfer agent with a request to register the transfer
or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of
other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the
transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for
such transactions are met (including that such Securities are duly
endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly
executed by the Holder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized
in writing to act on behalf of the Holder). Subject to
Section 2.03, to permit registrations of transfers and
exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange or redemption of the Securities, 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 taxes or other similar governmental charge
payable upon exchanges pursuant to Section 2.12, 3.06 or 9.05
hereof).
Neither the Registrar nor any other transfer
agent nor the Company shall be required to:
(i) issue,
register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 Business Days before the
day of any selection of Securities for redemption under
Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the
day of selection; or
(ii) register
the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption
in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security
being redeemed in part.
Each Holder of a Security agrees to indemnify
the Company and the Trustee against any liability that may result
from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s
Security in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or
applicable United States Federal or state securities
law.
The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to
monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any
restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under
applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any
Security (including any transfers between or among DTC Participants
or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) 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.
SECTION 2.08 Book-Entry Provisions for
Global Securities.
(a) The
Global Securities initially shall:
(i) be
registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of such
Depositary; and
(ii) be
delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such
Depositary.
Members of, or participants in, the Depositary
(“ DTC Participants ”) shall have no
rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security
held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its
custodian, or under such Global Security, and the Depositary may be
treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or
the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all
purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
contained 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 impair, as between the Depositary and the DTC
Participants, the operation of customary practices governing the
exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.
(b) Transfers
of a Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global
Security in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its
successors or their respective nominees. Beneficial owners may
transfer their interests in Global Securities in accordance with
the rules and procedures of the Depositary.
(c) Any
beneficial interest in one of the Global Securities that is
transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an
interest in another Global Security will, upon transfer, cease to
be an interest in such Global Security and become an interest in
such other Global Security and, accordingly, will thereafter be
subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures
applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Security
for as long as it remains such an interest.
(d) The
registered Holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and
otherwise authorize any Person, including DTC Participants and
Persons that may hold interests through DTC Participants, to take
any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture
or the Securities.
(i) the
Company notifies the Trustee in writing that the Depositary is no
longer willing or able to continue to act as Depositary for the
Global Securities or the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing
agency” registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor
depositary for the Global Securities is not appointed by the
Company within 90 days of such notice or cessation;
(ii)
the Company, at its option, notifies
the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the
Securities in definitive form under this Indenture in exchange for
all or any part of the Securities represented by a Global Security
or Global Securities; or
(iii) an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar
has received a request from the Depositary,
subject to this
Section 2.08(e), the Depositary shall surrender such Global
Security or Global Securities to the Trustee for cancellation and
then the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver in exchange for such Global Security or Global
Securities, Physical Securities, as applicable, in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global
Security or Global Securities. Such Physical Securities shall be
registered in such names as the Depositary shall identify in
writing as the beneficial owners, or participant nominees, of the
Securities represented by such Global Security or Securities (or
any nominee thereof).
(f)
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in connection with any transfer of a portion of the
beneficial interests in a Global Security to beneficial owners
pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.08, the
Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a
decrease in the principal amount of such Global Security in an
amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in
such Global Security to be transferred, and the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or
more Physical Securities of like tenor and amount.
SECTION 2.09 Replacement
Securities.
If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the
Trustee or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has
been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue
and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the
requirements of the Trustee and the Company are met;
provided that, if any such Security has been called for
redemption in accordance with the terms thereof, the Trustee may
pay the Redemption Price thereof on the Redemption Date without
authenticating or replacing such Security. The Trustee or the
Company may, in either case, require the Holder to provide an
indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of each of the Trustee
and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent
from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is
replaced or if the Redemption Price therefor is paid pursuant to
this Section 2.09. The Company may charge the Holder who has
lost a Security for its expenses in replacing a
Security.
Every replacement Security is an obligation of
the Company and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture
equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly
issued hereunder.
SECTION 2.10 Outstanding
Securities.
The Securities outstanding at any time are all
the Securities authenticated by the Trustee, except for
(i) those cancelled by it, (ii) those delivered to it for
cancellation and (iii) those described in this Section as not
outstanding.
If a Security is replaced pursuant to
Section 2.09 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest
ceases to accrue unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to
it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide
purchaser.
If all principal of and interest on any Security
are considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, such Security
ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to
accrue.
Except as provided in Section 2.11 hereof,
a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or
an Affiliate of the Company holds such Security.
SECTION 2.11 Treasury
Securities.
In determining whether the Holders of the
required aggregate principal amount of Securities of any series
have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities
owned by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company shall be
considered as though they are not outstanding, except that for the
purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in
relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities
which such Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded.
SECTION 2.12 Temporary
Securities.
Until definitive Securities are ready for
delivery, the Company may prepare and execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate upon a written order of the Company signed by
one Officer of the Company, temporary Securities. 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 shall authenticate,
definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Holders
of temporary Securities shall be entitled to all of the benefits of
this Indenture.
SECTION 2.13
Cancellation.
The Company at any time may deliver Securities
to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent
shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for
registration of transfer, exchange, payment or repurchase. The
Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment, repurchase, redemption, replacement or
cancellation and shall return such cancelled Securities to the
Company upon the Company’s written request (subject to the
record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). The Company may
not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or
that have been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation.
SECTION 2.14 CUSIP
Numbers.
The Company in issuing the Securities may use
“CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and the
Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption or
exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such
notice shall state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or
as contained in any such notice and that reliance may be placed
only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities,
and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or
omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the
Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.
SECTION 2.15 Defaulted
Interest.
If the Company fails to make a payment of
interest on Securities, it shall pay such defaulted interest plus
(to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted
interest, in any lawful manner. It may elect to pay such defaulted
interest, plus any such interest payable on it, to the Persons who
are Holders of such Securities on which the interest is due on a
subsequent special record date. The Company shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to
be paid on each such Security. The Company shall fix any such
record date and payment date for such payment. At least
15 days before any such record date, the Company shall mail to
Holders affected thereby a notice that states the record date,
interest payment date, and amount of such interest to be
paid.
SECTION 2.16 Special Record
Dates.
The Company may, but shall not be obligated to,
set a record date for the purpose of determining the identity of
Holders of Securities entitled to consent to any supplement,
amendment or waiver permitted by this Indenture. If a record date
is fixed, the Holders of 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
aggregate principal amount of Securities required hereunder for
such amendment or waiver to be effective shall have also been given
and not revoked within such 90-day period.
ARTICLE III
REDEMPTION
SECTION 3.01 Notices to
Trustee.
If the Company elects to redeem any series of
Securities pursuant to the optional redemption provisions set forth
in the supplemental indenture relating to such series of
Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the intended
Redemption Date, the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed
and the CUSIP numbers of the Securities to be redeemed. The Company
shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this
Section 3.01 at least days fifteen (15) days before the
giving of the notice of redemption pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof
(unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the
Trustee).
SECTION 3.02 Selection of Securities to
Be Redeemed.
If fewer than all the Securities of any series
are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities of such
series to be redeemed from the outstanding Securities of such
series by a method that complies with the requirements of any
exchange on which the Securities are listed, or, if the Securities
are not listed on an exchange, on a pro rata basis or by lot or in
accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and
appropriate. The Trustee will make the selection from outstanding
Securities of that series not previously called for
redemption.
Securities and portions thereof of any series
that the Trustee selects shall be in amounts equal to the minimum
authorized denomination for Securities to be redeemed or any
integral multiple thereof. The Trustee may select for redemption
portions of the principal amount of Securities that have
denominations larger than the minimum denomination in which
Securities of the applicable series may be issued. Provisions of
this Indenture that apply to Securities of any series called for
redemption also apply to portions of Securities of such series
called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company
promptly in writing of the Securities or portions of Securities of
any series to be called for redemption.
SECTION 3.03 Notice of
Redemption.
At least 30 days but not more than
60 days before the Redemption Date, the Company shall mail a
notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder whose
Securities are to be redeemed in whole or in part at the address of
such Holder appearing in the Register.
The notice shall identify the principal amount
and series of each Security to be redeemed and shall
state:
(b) the
method being used to determine the Redemption Price;
(c) if
fewer than all outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the
portion of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed
and that, after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such
Security, a new Security in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion will be issued;
(d) the
name and address of the Paying Agent;
(e) that
Securities called for redemption must be presented and surrendered
to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price plus accrued
interest, if any;
(f)
that, unless
the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, interest
on Securities (or the portions thereof) called for redemption
ceases to accrue interest on and after the Redemption Date, and, if
applicable, those Securities (or the portion thereof called for
redemption) will cease on the Redemption Date (or such other date
as if provided in the supplemental indenture relating to the
Securities) to be convertible into, or exchangeable for, other
securities or assets;
(g) if
applicable, the current conversion or exchange price;
and
(h) the
CUSIP numbers, if any, of the Securities to be redeemed.
At the Company’s written request, the
Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s
name and at its expense.
SECTION 3.04 Effect of Notice of
Redemption.
Once the notice of redemption is mailed,
Securities called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable
on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price. Upon surrender to
the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the Redemption
Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption
Date.
The notice 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 Holder of
any Securities shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for
the redemption of Securities of any other Holder.
SECTION 3.05 Deposit of Redemption
Price.
Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on
the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or
with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company is acting as the paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in
trust) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of
all Securities to be redeemed on that date, together with accrued
and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, except for Securities
or portions thereof called for redemption which have been delivered
by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation or Securities which
have been surrendered for conversion or exchange. If any Securities
called for redemption are converted or exchanged, any money
deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent for redemption of those
Securities shall be promptly paid to the Company upon its request,
or, if the money is held in trust by the Company or a Subsidiary as
Paying Agent, the money will be discharged from the
trust.
SECTION 3.06 Securities Redeemed in
Part.
Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in
part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
for the Holder at the expense of the Company, a new Security equal
in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security
surrendered.
SECTION 3.07 Holder's Right to Require
Redemption.
Holders of Securities of a series will have the
right to require the Company to redeem those Securities only to the
extent, and only on the terms, set forth in the supplemental
indenture relating to the Securities of that series. If Holders of
Securities of a series have the right to require the Company to
redeem those Securities, unless otherwise provided in the
supplemental indenture relating to the Securities of that series,
the terms of the redemption will include those set forth in Section
3.08.
SECTION 3.08 Procedure for Requiring
Redemption.
If a Holder has the right to require the Company
to redeem Securities, to exercise that right, the Holder must
deliver the Securities to the Paying Agent, endorsed for transfer
and with the form on the reverse side regarding the option to
require redemption completed. Delivery of Securities to the Paying
Agent as provided in this Section 3.07 will constitute an
irrevocable election to cause the specified principal amount of
Securities to be redeemed. When Securities are delivered to the
Paying Agent as provided in this Section, unless the Company fails
to make the payments due as a result of the redemption within
