     “Attributable Debt” means the present value (discounted at the weighted average interest rate borne by the Notes outstanding at the time of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction compounded semi-annually) of the obligation of a lessee for net rental payments during the remaining term of any lease (including any period for which such lease has been extended).
     “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following:
     (a) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to the Company or one of the Company’s Subsidiaries;
     (b) the consummation of any transaction (including without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock, measured by voting power rather than number of shares;
     (c) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person immediately after giving effect to such transaction;

     Section 3.01. Offer to Redeem upon Change of Control Triggering Event.
     (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 7.01, each Holder of the Notes shall have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described in this Section 3.01 (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.
     (b) Unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes, within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall be required to send, by first class mail, a notice to each Holder of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, shall state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Holders of the Notes electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third business day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
     (c) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.
     Section 3.02. Limitations on Liens.
     (a) The Company agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any Secured Debt upon any Principal Property or any shares of stock or indebtedness for borrowed money of any Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned at the date hereof or hereafter acquired, without in

9


 

any such case effectively providing, concurrently with the creation, incurrence, issuance, assumption or guarantee of any such Secured Debt, that the Notes (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other indebtedness of or guaranteed by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary ranking equally with the Notes and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured equally and ratably with or, at the Company’s option, prior to such Secured Debt so long as such Secured Debt shall be secured. The term “Secured Debt” means any indebtedness for money borrowed secured by a Lien. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to, and there shall be excluded from Secured Debt in any computation under such restriction, Secured Debt secured by:
          (1) Liens on any property, shares of stock or indebtedness for borrowed money of any entity existing at the time such entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;
          (2) Liens on property or shares of stock existing at the time of the acquisition of such property or stock by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or existing as of the original date hereof;
          (3) Liens to secure the payment of all or any part of the price of acquisition, construction or improvement of such property or stock by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or to secure any Secured Debt incurred by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, prior to, at the time of, or within 180 days after, the later of the acquisition or completion of construction (including any improvements on an existing property), which Secured Debt is incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof or construction of improvements thereon; provided, however, that, in the case of any such acquisition, construction or improvement, the Lien shall not apply to any property theretofore owned by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, other than, in the case of any such construction or improvement, any theretofore substantially unimproved real property on which the property or improvement so constructed is located;
          (4) Liens securing Secured Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to the Company or to another Restricted Subsidiary;
          (5) Liens on property of an entity existing at the time such entity is merged into or consolidated with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of an entity as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary;
          (6) Liens on the Company’s or Restricted Subsidiary’s property in favor of the United States or any state thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States or any state thereof, or in favor of any other country or any political subdivision thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality of such country or political subdivision, to secure partial progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of construction of the property subject to such Liens;

10


 

          (7) Liens incurred or assumed in connection with the issuance of revenue bonds the interest on which is exempt from federal taxation pursuant to Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code;
          (8) Liens to secure Hedging Obligations entered into in the ordinary course of business to purchase any raw material or other commodity or to hedge risks or reduce costs with respect to the Company’s, or any Restricted Subsidiary’s, interest rate, currency or commodity exposure, and not for speculative purposes;

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.02, the Company and any one or more Restricted Subsidiaries may, without securing the Notes, create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee Secured Debt secured by a Lien which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions in an aggregate amount which, together with all other Secured Debt of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries which (if originally created, incurred, issued, assumed or guaranteed at such time) would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions (not including Secured Debt permitted to be secured under clauses (1) through (10) above), does not at the time exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company as shown on the financial statements of the Company as of the end of the fiscal year preceding the date of determination.

     (ii) Since the date hereof and within a period of twelve months before and twelve months after the consummation of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, has expended or will expend for the Principal Property an amount equal to: (i) the net proceeds of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction and the Company elects to designate such amount as a credit against such Sale and Leaseback Transaction; or (ii) a part of the net proceeds of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction and the Company elects to designate such amount as a credit against such Sale and Leaseback Transaction and applies an amount equal to the remainder of the net proceeds as described below; or
