(3) the principal amount, if any, of such Exchangeable Debentures which remains subject to the original Repurchase Notice, and which has been or will be delivered for purchase by the Company.

 

If Exchangeable Debentures are not in certificated form, the withdrawal notice must comply with applicable Depositary procedures.

 

14


The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

 

(c) Deposit of Repurchase Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Repurchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day), sufficient to pay the aggregate Repurchase Price of all the Exchangeable Debentures or portions thereof which are to be purchased as of the Repurchase Date.

 

If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms hereof, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the applicable Repurchase Date, as the case may be, cash or securities, sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price of any Exchangeable Debentures for which a Repurchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to clause (b) above, then, on such Repurchase Date, such Exchangeable Debentures will cease to be outstanding and interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on such Exchangeable Debentures will cease to accrue, whether or not such Exchangeable Debentures are delivered to the Paying Agent, and the rights of the Holders in respect thereof shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Repurchase Price, upon delivery of such Exchangeable Debentures).

 

(d) Exchangeable Debentures Purchased in Part. Any Certificated Exchangeable Debenture which is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Exchangeable Debentures, without service charge, a new Exchangeable Debenture or Exchangeable Debentures, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Exchangeable Debenture so surrendered which is not purchased.

 

(e) Covenant to Comply With Securities Laws Upon Purchase of Exchangeable Debentures. When complying with the provisions of Section 5.02 (provided that such offer or purchase constitutes an “issuer tender offer” for purposes of Rule 13e-4 (which term, as used herein, includes any successor provision thereto) under the Exchange Act at the time of such offer or purchase), and subject to any exemption under applicable laws, the Company shall (i) comply with Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 (or any applicable successor provision), under the Exchange Act, (ii) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor schedule, form or report) under the Exchange Act, as applicable and (iii) otherwise comply with any applicable Federal

 

15


and state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations under Section 5.02 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in Section 5.02. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Section 5.02, the Company’s compliance with such laws and regulations shall not in and of itself cause a breach of its obligations under Section 5.02.

 

(f) Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company any cash or securities that remain unclaimed for two years, together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon, held by them for the payment of the Repurchase Price; provided, however, that to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash or securities deposited by the Company pursuant to clause (c) above exceeds the aggregate Repurchase Price of the Exchangeable Debentures or portions thereof which the Company is obligated to purchase as of the Repurchase Date, then, promptly after the Business Day following the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, the Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company together with interest, if any, or dividends thereon.

 

Section 5.04 Merger and Sale of Assets by Host REIT. For purposes of the Exchangeable Debentures, Article 5 of the Indenture is hereby superseded with the following.

 

“Neither the Company nor Host REIT may (1) consolidate or merge into any other Person or sell, convey, lease or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other Person in any one transaction or series of related transactions, or (2) permit any person to consolidate with or merge into it, unless, (a) in case of merger or consolidation, either the Company or Host REIT (as the case may be) are the surviving Person or if the Company or Host REIT are not the surviving Person, the surviving Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company or Host REIT are merged or the person to which the Company’s or Host REIT’s properties and assets are so transferred shall be an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture expressly assuming, in the case of a transaction involving the Company, the payment when due of the principal of and interest on the debentures and in the case of a transaction involving the Company or Host REIT, the performance of each of the Company or Host REIT’s (as the case may be) other covenants under this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture, and (b) in either case, immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;”

 

Section 5.05 Successor Person Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or Host REIT (as the case may be), in accordance with Section 5.04, the successor Person

 

16


formed by such consolidation or into which the Company or Host REIT, as applicable, is merged or to which such transfer is made, shall succeed to, be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Company or Host REIT, as applicable, under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named therein as the Company or Host REIT, as applicable, and the Company or Host REIT, as applicable, shall be released from the obligations under the Exchangeable Debentures and this Indenture.

 

ARTICLE 6

 

Section 6.01 Exchange Right. A Holder of an Exchangeable Debenture may surrender for exchange such Exchangeable Debenture into shares of Host REIT Common Stock as set forth in this Article 6. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the date on which the Exchangeable Debentures first become exchangeable, which certificate shall set forth the calculations on which such determination was made. Unless and until the Trustee receives such certificate, the Trustee may conclusively assume without inquiry that the Exchangeable Debentures are not exchangeable.

 

Section 6.02 Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 6, a Holder of an Exchangeable Debenture may surrender its Exchangeable Debentures for exchange into shares of Host REIT Common Stock at the applicable Exchange Rate (as defined below) in effect on the date of exchange only as follows:

 

(a) during any Exchange Period prior to April 15, 2023, if the Sale Price of Host REIT Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days in the 30 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the first day of such Exchange Period is more than 120% of the Exchange Price on the first day of such Exchange Period. If an event set forth in Section 6.07 below shall have occurred during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the first day of an Exchange Period, the Sale Price of Host REIT Common Stock on each Trading Day of such period elapsing prior to the occurrence of the event shall be deemed to have been appropriately adjusted to reflect the occurrence of the event. An “Exchange Period” will be the period from and including the eleventh Trading Day in a fiscal quarter to, but not including, the eleventh Trading Day in the immediately following fiscal quarter.

 

(b) on any date after April 15, 2023 and prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity of the Exchangeable Debentures, if the Sale Price of the Host REIT Common Stock is more than 120% of the then-current Exchange Price.

 

(c) during the five consecutive Trading Day period beginning on the first Trading Day after any 20 consecutive Trading Day period in which the average of the Trading Prices for an Exchangeable Debenture for such 20 consecutive Trading Day period was less than 95% of the average Sale Price of the Host REIT Common Stock during such 20 consecutive Trading Day period multiplied by the applicable Exchange Rate for such period.

 

17


The “Trading Price” of the Exchangeable Debentures on any date of determination means the average of the secondary market bid quotations per Exchangeable Debenture obtained by the Trustee for $5,000,000 principal amount of the Exchangeable Debentures at approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such determination date from two independent nationally recognized securities dealers designated by the Company, which may include any of the Initial Purchasers, provided that if at least two such bids cannot reasonably be obtained by the Trustee, but one such bid can reasonably be obtained by the Trustee, this one bid shall be used. If the Trustee cannot reasonably obtain at least one bid for $5,000,000 principal amount of the Exchangeable Debentures from a nationally recognized securities dealer or in the reasonable judgment of the Company, the bid quotations are not indicative of the secondary market value of the Exchangeable Debentures, then the Trading Price of the Exchangeable Debentures will equal (a) the then-applicable Exchange Rate of the Exchangeable Debentures multiplied by (b) 92% of the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange of Host REIT Common Stock on such determination date; provided that the Trustee shall not determine the Trading Price of the Exchangeable Debentures unless requested by the Company; and provided, further, that the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a holder of Exchangeable Debentures provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price of the Exchangeable Debenture for a 20 consecutive Trading Day period may be less than 95% of the average Sale Price of the Common Stock during such 20 consecutive Trading-Day period multiplied by the applicable Exchange Rate; and at which time, the Company shall instruct the Trustee to determine the Trading Price of the Exchangeable Debentures for the past 20 consecutive Trading Day period to determine whether the Exchangeable Debentures are exchangeable pursuant to Section 6.02(c).

 

(d) at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, if such Exchangeable Debenture has been called for redemption pursuant to Sections 1.03 of this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture.

 

(e) if the Company or Host REIT elects to distribute to all Holders of Host REIT Common Stock (i) rights, options or warrants entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring within 60 days, Host REIT Common Stock at less than the Sale Price of Host REIT Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration of the dividend, or (ii) the Company’s or Host REIT’s assets, debt securities or rights, options or warrants to purchase the Company’s or Host REIT’s securities, which distribution has a per share of value exceeding 12.5% of the Sale Price of Host REIT Common Stock as of the Business Day preceding the date of declaration for such distribution, in each case, the Exchangeable Debentures may be surrendered for exchange beginning on the date the Company gives notice to the

 

18


Holders of such right, which shall be not less than 20 days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution and Exchangeable Debentures may be surrendered for exchange at any time thereafter until 5:00 p.m. on the earlier of the Business Day prior to the Ex-Dividend Date and the date the Company announces that such distribution will not take place.

 

(f) if the Company or Host REIT is party to a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange, pursuant to which shares of Host REIT Common Stock would be exchanged into cash, securities or other property, the Exchangeable Debentures may be surrendered for exchange at any time from and after the date which is 15 Business Days prior to the date the Company announces as the anticipated effective time until 5 Business Days after the actual date of such transaction.

 

(g) during any period in which the Host REIT Common Stock is not listed on a United States national securities exchange for more than 30 consecutive days.

 

The Exchange Agent shall, on behalf of the Company, determine daily if the Exchangeable Debentures are exchangeable as a result of the Sale Price of the Host REIT Common Stock and shall notify the Company and the Trustee; provided that the Company shall provide to the Exchange Agent upon request, the Sale Price of the Host REIT Common Stock.

 

An Exchangeable Debenture in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Repurchase Notice or a Change of Control purchase notice exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Exchangeable Debenture may be exchanged only if such notice of exercise is withdrawn in accordance with this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture, as applicable.

 

No adjustment to the ability of a Holder to exchange shall be made if the Holder will otherwise participate in the distributions specified in clauses (e) or (f) above without exchange.

 

Section 6.03 Exchange Rate. The number of shares of Host REIT Common Stock issuable upon exchange of an Exchangeable Debenture per $1,000 of principal amount thereof (the “Exchange Rate”) shall initially be 54.6448 shares of Host REIT Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount, subject to adjustment in certain events described below.

 

Section 6.04 Exchange Procedures. A Holder may exchange a portion of the principal amount at maturity of an Exchangeable Debenture if the portion exchanged is in a $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture that apply to the exchange of all of an Exchangeable Debenture also apply to an exchange of a portion of an Exchangeable Debenture.

 

19


To surrender an Exchangeable Debenture for exchange, a Holder must, in the case of a Global Security, comply with all applicable procedures of the Depositary, and in the case of a Certificated Exchangeable Debenture, (1) complete and manually sign the form of irrevocable exchange notice (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of such notice) and deliver such notice to the Exchange Agent, and (2) surrender, if the Exchangeable Debenture is in certificated form, the Certificated Exchangeable Debenture to the Exchange Agent, and in any such case, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and pay any transfer or similar taxes and all other taxes or duties, if required. The first Business Day on which the Holder satisfies all those requirements is the exchange date (the “Exchange Date”).

 

As soon as practicable after the Exchange Date, the Company shall deliver to the Holder, through the Exchange Agent, a certificate for the number of full shares of Host REIT Common Stock issuable upon the exchange, and cash in lieu of any fractional share determined pursuant to Section 6.05 below (other than in the case of Holders of Exchangeable Debentures in book-entry form with the Depositary, which shares shall be delivered in accordance with the Depositary’s customary practice). The Person in whose name the certificate is registered shall be treated as a shareholder of record as of 5:00 p.m. on the Exchange Date. Upon exchange of an Exchangeable Debenture in its entirety, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Exchangeable Debenture.

 

No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on, or other distributions with respect to, any shares of Host REIT Common Stock except as provided in this Article 6. On exchange of an Exchangeable Debenture, that portion of accrued and unpaid cash interest (including Liquidated Damages), if any, through the Exchange Date with respect to the exchanged Exchangeable Debenture shall not be cancelled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the Holder thereof through delivery of the shares of Host REIT Common Stock (together with the cash payment, if any, in lieu of fractional shares) for the Exchangeable Debenture being exchanged pursuant to the provisions hereof; and the fair market value of such shares of Host REIT Common Stock (together with any such cash payment in lieu of fractional shares) shall be treated as issued, to the extent thereof, first in exchange for accrued and unpaid cash interest (including Liquidated Damages), if any, through the Exchange Date, and the balance, if any, of such fair market value of such shares of Common Stock (and any such cash payment) shall be treated as issued for the principal amount of the Exchangeable Debenture, including any accrued and unpaid interest (including Liquidated Damages) of the Exchangeable Debenture being exchanged pursuant to the provisions hereof. The Company will not adjust the Exchange Rate to account for accrued interest, if any. If the Holder exchanges more than one Exchangeable Debenture at the same time, the number of shares of Host REIT Common Stock issuable upon the exchange shall be based on the total principal amount of the Exchangeable Debentures, including any accrued and unpaid interest (including Liquidated Damages) of the Exchangeable Debentures exchanged.

 

20


If the last day on which an Exchangeable Debenture may be exchanged is not a Business Day, the Exchangeable Debenture may be surrendered on the next succeeding Business Day; notwithstanding the forgoing, an Exchangeable Debenture may not be surrendered for exchange after the Stated Maturity of the Exchangeable Debentures.

 

Upon surrender of an Exchangeable Debenture that is exchanged in part, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, a new Exchangeable Debenture in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount at maturity to the unexchanged portion of the Exchangeable Debenture surrendered.

 

Except as provided in this Section 6.03, an exchanging Holder of Exchangeable Debentures shall not be entitled to receive any accrued and unpaid interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on any such Exchangeable Debentures being exchanged. By delivery to the Holder of the number of shares of Host REIT Common Stock or other consideration issuable or payable upon exchange in accordance with this Section 6.03, any principal and accrued and unpaid interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any), on such Exchangeable Debentures will be deemed to have been paid in full. If any Exchangeable Debentures are surrendered for exchange subsequent to the Regular Record Date preceding an Interest Payment Date but prior to such Interest Payment Date, the Holder of such Exchangeable Debentures at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such Record Date shall receive the interest payable on such Exchangeable Debenture on such Interest Payment Date (including Liquidated Damages, if any) notwithstanding the exchange thereof. Exchangeable Debentures surrendered for exchange during the period from 5:00 p.m. New York City time on any Record Date preceding any Interest Payment Date to 9:00 a.m. New York City time on such Interest Payment Date shall (except in the case of Exchangeable Debentures which have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date within such period) be accompanied by payment from exchanging Holders, for the account of the Company, in New York Clearing House funds, or other funds of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on the Exchangeable Debentures being surrendered for exchange; provided, however, if the Company elects to redeem Exchangeable Debentures on a date that is after the Regular Record Date but on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, and such Holder elects to exchange those Exchangeable Debentures, the Holder will not be required to pay the Company, at the time that Holder surrenders those Exchangeable Debentures for exchange, the amount of interest such Holder will have received on the Interest Payment Date.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Holder is exchanging their Exchangeable Debentures pursuant to Section 6.02(c) above and on the day before the Exchange Date, the Sale Price of Host REIT Common Stock is equal to or greater than 100% but less than or equal to 120% of the Exchange Price, then a Holder surrendering its

 

21


Exchangeable Debentures for exchange shall receive, in lieu of Host REIT Common Stock based on the applicable Exchange Rate, Host REIT Common Stock or cash, at the Company’s option, if on or prior to April 15, 2019, or cash, if after April 15, 2019, in each case, with a value equal to the principal amount of the Exchangeable Debenture (plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any) on the Exchange Date (such exchange, a “Principal Value Exchange”). Any Host REIT Common Stock to be delivered to the Holder by the Company upon a Principal Value Exchange shall be valued at 100% of the average Sale Price for the 20 consecutive Trading Days preceding such Exchange Date. The Company shall notify the Trustee and any surrendering Holder of Exchangeable Debentures whose exchange is a Principal Value Exchange of such Principal Value Conversion by the second Trading Day following such Exchange Date and in such notice, state whether the Company shall pay to such Holder all or a portion of the principal amount of such Exchangeable Debentures in cash or, if prior to April 15, 2019, Host REIT Common Stock.

 

Section 6.05 Fractional Shares. The Company will not issue fractional shares of Host REIT Common Stock upon exchange of an Exchangeable Debenture. Instead, the Company will pay cash based on the current market value of the fractional shares. The current market value of a fractional share shall be determined, to the nearest 1/1,000th of a share, by multiplying the Sale Price of the Common Stock, on the last Trading Day immediately prior to the Exchange Date, of a full share by the fractional amount and rounding the product to the nearest whole cent. Whether fractional shares are issuable upon a exchange will be determined on the basis of the total number of Exchangeable Debentures that the Holder is then exchanging into Host REIT Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Host REIT Common Stock issuable upon such exchange.

 

Section 6.06 Taxes on Conversion. If a Holder submits an Exchangeable Debenture for exchange, the Company shall pay all stamp and all other duties, if any, which may be imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to the issuance of shares of Host REIT Common Stock upon the exchange. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the Holder requests the shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. The Exchange Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Host REIT Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Exchange Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the shares are to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulations.

 

Section 6.07 Exchange Rate Adjustments. The Exchange Rate shall be subject to adjustment, without duplication, upon the occurrence of the below listed events.

 

22


(a) Adjustment for Change in Host REIT Common Stock. If, after the Series Issue Date of the Exchangeable Debentures, Host REIT:

 

(1) pays a dividend or makes another distribution to all holders of Host REIT Common Stock payable exclusively in shares of Host REIT Common Stock;

 

(2) subdivides the outstanding shares of Host REIT Common Stock into a greater number of shares;

 

(3) combines the outstanding shares of Host REIT Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or

 

(4) reclassifies the outstanding shares of Host REIT Common Stock,

 

then the exchange privilege and the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of an Exchange Debenture thereafter exchanged may receive the number of shares of Host REIT Common Stock which such Holder would have owned immediately following such action if such Holder had exchanged the Exchangeable Debenture immediately prior to such action.

 

The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend, distribution or subdivision and immediately after the effective date in the case of a combination or reclassification.

 

If after an adjustment a Holder of an Exchangeable Debenture upon exchange of such Exchangeable Debenture may receive shares of two or more classes of Host REIT Capital Stock, the Exchange Rate shall thereafter be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of an action taken with respect to any such class of Host REIT Capital Stock as is contemplated by this Article 6 with respect to the Host REIT Common Stock, on terms comparable to those applicable to Host REIT Common Stock in this Article 6.

 

(b) Adjustment for Rights Issue. If, after the Series Issue Date of the Exchangeable Debentures, Host REIT distributes any rights, options or warrants to all holders of Host REIT Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Host REIT Common Stock at a price per share less (or having an exchange price per share less) than the Market Price (on the Trading Day immediately preceding the time of announcement of such issuance) (except that no adjustment will be made if Holders of the Exchangeable Debentures may participate in the distribution on a basis and with the notice that the Company’s Board of Directors determines to be fair and appropriate), the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:

 

R’ = R x

         (O + N)      
   (O + (N x P)/M)

 

23


where:

 

R’ = the adjusted Exchange Rate.

 

R = the current Exchange Rate.

 

O = the number of shares of Host REIT Common Stock outstanding on the record date for the distribution to which this clause (b) is being applied.

 

N = the number of additional shares of Host REIT Common Stock offered pursuant to the distribution.

 

P = the offering price per share of the additional shares.

 

M = the Market Price.

 

The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive the rights, warrants or options to which this clause (b) applies. If all of the shares of Host REIT Common Stock subject to such rights, warrants or options have not been issued when such rights, warrants or options expire, then the Exchange Rate shall promptly be readjusted to the Exchange Rate which would then be in effect had the adjustment upon the issuance of such rights, warrants or options been made on the basis of the actual number of shares of Host REIT Common Stock issued upon the exercise of such rights, warrants or options.

 

No adjustment shall be made under this clause (b) if the application of the formula stated above in this clause (b) would result in a value of R’ that is equal to or less than the value of R.

 

(c) Adjustment for Other Distributions. If, after the Series Issue Date of the Exchangeable Debentures, Host REIT makes the payment of dividends or distributions to all holders of Host REIT Common Stock consisting of evidence of indebtedness, shares of capital stock or assets (excluding cash) or any rights, warrants or options to purchase securities, except for (w) those rights, options or warrants referred to in clause (b) above, (x) distributions referred to in clause (a) above, (y) dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash other than referred to in clauses (d) and (e) below), and (z) distributions upon mergers or consolidations, the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted, subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of this clause (c), in accordance with the formula:

 

R’ = R x

       M    
   (M - F)

 

24


where:

 

R’ = the adjusted Exchange Rate.

 

R = the current Exchange Rate.

 

M = the Market Price.

 

F = the fair market value (on the record date for the distribution to which this clause (c) applies) of the assets, securities, rights, warrants or options to be distributed in respect of each share of Host REIT Common Stock in the distribution to which this clause (c) is being applied (including, in the case of cash dividends or other cash distributions giving rise to an adjustment, all such cash distributed concurrently).

 

In the event Host REIT distributes shares of Capital Stock of a Subsidiary to all Holders of Host REIT Common Stock, the Exchange Rate will be adjusted, if at all, based on the market value of the Subsidiary Capital Stock so distributed relative to the market value of the shares of Host REIT Common Stock, as discussed below. The Board of Directors shall determine fair market values for the purposes of this clause (c), except that in respect of a dividend or other distribution of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of Host REIT to all Holders of Host REIT Common Stock (a “Spin-off”), the fair market value of the securities to be distributed shall equal the average of the daily Sale Prices of those securities for the five consecutive Trading Days commencing on and including the sixth day of trading of those securities after the effectiveness of the Spin-off. In the event, however, that an underwritten initial public offering of the securities in the Spin-off occurs simultaneously with the Spin-off, fair market value of the securities distributed in the Spin-off shall mean the initial public offering price of such securities and the Market Price shall mean the Sale Price for the Common Stock on the same Trading Day.

 

The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive the distribution to which this clause (c) applies, except that an adjustment related to a Spin-off shall become effective at the earlier to occur of (i) 10 consecutive Trading Days after the effective date of the Spin-off and (ii) the initial public offering of the securities distributed in the Spin-off.

 

In the event that, with respect to any distribution to which this clause (c) would otherwise apply, the difference “M-F” as defined in the above formula is less than $1.00 or “F” is equal to or greater than “M”, then the adjustment provided by this clause (c) shall not be made and in lieu thereof the provisions of clause (k) shall apply to such distribution.

 

(d) Adjustment for Company Tender Offer. If, after the Series Issue Date of the Exchangeable Debentures, Host REIT or any Subsidiary of Host REIT pays holders of the shares of Host REIT Common Stock in respect of a tender offer, other than an odd-lot offer, by Host REIT or any of its Subsidiaries for shares of Host REIT

 

25


Common Stock to the extent that the offer involves aggregate consideration that, together with any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by Host REIT or any of its Subsidiaries for shares of Host REIT Common Stock consummated within the 365-day period preceding the expiration of such tender offer not triggering an Exchange Rate adjustment, exceeds an amount equal to 12.5% of the market capitalization of the shares of Host REIT Common Stock on the expiration date of the tender offer, the Exchange Rate shall be increased in accordance with the following formula:

 

R’ = R x

       M    
   (M - A)

 

where:

 

R’ = the adjusted Exchange Rate.

 

R = the current Exchange Rate.

 

M = the Market Price.

 

A = the amount per share of such dividend or distribution (appropriately adjusted from time to time for any stock dividends on or subdivisions or combination of Host REIT).

 

(e) Adjustment for Cash Distributions. If Host REIT shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Exchangeable Debentures are outstanding, by dividend or otherwise, distribute cash to all holders of Host REIT Common Stock (and such dividend or distribution does not trigger an adjustment pursuant to clause (d) above), the Exchange Rate will be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:

 

R’ = R x

       M    
   (M - A)

 

where:

 

R’ = the adjusted Exchange Rate.

 

R = the current Exchange Rate.

 

M = the Market Price.

 

A = the amount per share of such dividend or distribution (appropriately adjusted from time to time for any stock dividends on or subdivisions or combination of Host REIT).

 

26


Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an adjustment pursuant to clauses (d) and (e) above, in no event shall the Exchange Rate be greater than the quotient of $1,000, divided by the Sale Price on March 16, 2004, subject to adjustment pursuant to clauses (a) through (c) above.

 

(f) When Adjustment May Be Deferred. No adjustment in the Exchange Rate need be made unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Exchange Rate. Any adjustments that are not made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Exchangeable Debentures are called for redemption, all adjustments not previously made will be made on the applicable Redemption Date.

 

All calculations under this Article 6 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/1,000th of a share, as the case may be.

 

(g) When No Adjustment Required. Host REIT has adopted a stockholders rights plan under which Host REIT issued rights to all holders Host REIT Common Stock. If each share of the Host REIT Common Stock issued upon exchange of the Exchangeable Debentures at any time prior to the distribution of separate certificates representing the rights will be entitled to receive the right, then no adjustment to the Exchange Rate need be made as a result of the issuance of such rights pursuant to such rights plan. Upon the occurrence of an event of separation of the rights from the Host REIT Common Stock, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted in accordance with clause (b) above. If such an adjustment is made and the rights are later redeemed, invalidated or terminated, then a reversing adjustment shall be made.

 

The applicable Exchange Rate will not be adjusted:

 

(1) upon the issuance of any shares of Host REIT Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of Host REIT and the investment of additional optional amounts in Host REIT Common Stock under any plan;

 

(2) upon the issuance of any shares of Host REIT Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of the Host REIT;

 

(3) upon the issuance of any shares of Host REIT Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the Series Issue Date;

 

(4) as a result of a tender offer solely to holders of less than 100 share of Host REIT Common Stock; and

 

(5) for the avoidance of doubt, upon the issuance of OP Units by the Company and the issuance of Host REIT Common Stock or cash upon redemption thereof.

 

27


No adjustment need be made if Holders of the Exchangeable Debentures may participate in the transaction on an “as exchanged” basis.

 

Except as set forth in clauses (a) through (e) above, the applicable Exchange Rate shall not be subject to an adjustment in the case of the issuance of any Host REIT Common Stock or Host REIT preferred stock, or securities exchangeable into or exchangeable for Host REIT Common Stock or Host REIT preferred stock.

 

(h) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Exchange Rate is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders a notice of the adjustment. The Company shall file with the Trustee and the Exchange Agent such notice briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. The certificate shall be conclusive evidence that the adjustment is correct. Neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate except to exhibit the same to any Holder desiring inspection thereof.

 

(i) Voluntary Increase. The Company from time to time may increase the Exchange Rate by any amount at any time (a) in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Host REIT Common Stock resulting from certain dividends, distributions or issuance of rights or warrants, or (b) otherwise as the Company deems appropriate, for at least 20 Business Days, so long as the increase is irrevocable during such period. Whenever the Exchange Rate is increased, the Company shall mail to Holders and file with the Trustee and the Exchange Agent a notice of the increase. The Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before the date the increased Exchange Rate takes effect. The notice shall state the increased Exchange Rate and the period it will be in effect. A voluntary increase of the Exchange Rate does not change or adjust the Exchange Rate otherwise in effect for purposes of clauses (a) through (e).

 

(j) Notice of Certain Transactions. If:

 

(1) the Company takes any action that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) (unless no adjustment is to occur pursuant to clause (g)); or

 

(2) the Company takes any action that would require a supplemental indenture pursuant to clause (k) below; or

 

(3) there is a liquidation or dissolution of the Company;

 

then the Company shall mail to Holders and file with the Trustee and the Exchange Agent a notice stating the proposed record date for a dividend, distribution or subdivision or the proposed effective date of a combination, reclassification, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, transfer, liquidation or dissolution. The Company shall file and mail the notice at least 10 days before such date. Failure to file or mail the notice or any defect in it shall not affect the validity of the transaction.

 

28


(k) Reorganization of Company; Special Distributions. If the Company or Host REIT is a party to a transaction subject to Article 5 of the Indenture (other than a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Host REIT in a transaction in which the holders of Host REIT Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction do not receive securities, cash or other assets of the Company or any other Person) or a merger or binding share exchange which reclassifies or changes its outstanding shares of Host REIT Common Stock, the Person obligated to deliver securities, cash or other assets upon exchange of Exchangeable Debentures shall enter into a supplemental indenture. If the issuer of securities deliverable upon exchange of Exchangeable Debentures is an Affiliate of the successor company, that issuer shall join in the supplemental indenture.

 

The supplemental indenture shall provide that the Holder of an Exchangeable Debenture may exchange it into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets which such Holder would have received immediately after the consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or transfer if such Holder had exchanged the Exchangeable Debenture immediately before the effective date of the transaction, assuming (to the extent applicable) that such Holder (i) was not a constituent Person or an Affiliate of a constituent Person to such transaction; (ii) made no election with respect thereto; and (iii) was treated alike with the plurality of non-electing Holders. The supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided for in this Article 6. The successor Company shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture.

 

If Host REIT makes a distribution to all holders of Host REIT Common Stock of any of its assets, or debt securities or any rights, warrants or options to purchase securities of Host REIT that, but for the provisions of the last paragraph of clause (c), would otherwise result in an adjustment in the Exchange Rate pursuant to the provisions of clause (c), then, from and after the record date for determining the holders of Host REIT Common Stock entitled to receive the distribution, a Holder of an Exchangeable Debenture that exchanges such Exchangeable Debenture in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture shall upon such exchange be entitled to receive, in addition to the shares of Host REIT Common Stock into which the Exchangeable Debenture is exchange, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets comprising the distribution that such Holder would have received if such Holder had exchanged the Exchangeable Debenture immediately prior to the record date for determining the holders of Host REIT Common Stock entitled to receive the distribution.

 

Section 6.08 Company Determination Final. The Company shall make all calculations called for under the Exchangeable Debentures in good faith and, absent manifest error, the Company’s calculations will be final and binding on Holders of the Exchangeable Debentures. A schedule of such calculations shall be provided to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall forward the Company’s calculations to any Holder of the Exchangeable Debentures upon the request of that Holder.

 

29


Section 6.09 Trustee’s Adjustment Disclaimer. The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article 6 should be made, how it should be made or what it should be. The Trustee has no duty to determine whether a supplemental indenture under Section 6.07(j) need be entered into or whether any provisions of any supplemental indenture are correct. The Trustee shall not be accountable for and makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon exchange of Exchangeable Debentures. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with this Article 6. The Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely upon the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification. Each Exchange Agent shall have the same protection under this Section 6.09 as the Trustee.

 

Section 6.10 Simultaneous Adjustments. In the event that this Article 6 requires adjustments to the Exchange Rate under more than one of clauses (a), (b), (d) or (e) of Section 6.07, and the record dates for the distributions giving rise to such adjustments shall occur on the same date, then such adjustments shall be made by applying, first, the provisions of Section 6.07(a), second, the provisions of Section 6.07(b), third, the provisions of Section 6.07(c), fourth, the provisions of Section 6.07(d), and fifth, the provision of Section 6.07(e).

 

Section 6.11 Successive Adjustments. After an adjustment to the Exchange Rate under this Article 6, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this Article 6 shall cause an adjustment to the Exchange Rate as so adjusted.

 

Section 6.12 Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Exchangeable Debenture, no Holders of Exchangeable Debentures shall be entitled to exchange such Exchangeable Debenture for Host REIT Common Stock to the extent that receipt of such shares would cause such Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates) to exceed the ownership limit contained in the Articles of Incorporation of Host REIT.

A Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository, by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or to another nominee of the Depository, or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository. All Global Securities will be

 

30


exchanged by the Company for Certificated Exchangeable Debentures if (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depository (A) that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depository and a successor Depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depository or (B) that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor Depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depository, (ii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Certificated Exchangeable Debentures or (iii) upon request of the Trustee or Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Exchangeable Debentures if there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Exchangeable Debenture. Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (i), (ii) or (iii) above, upon surrender by the Depositary of the Global Security, Certificated Exchangeable Debentures shall be issued in such names as the Depository shall instruct the Trustee. Global Securities also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.8 and 2.11 of the Indenture. A Global Security may not be exchanged for another Exchangeable Debenture other than as provided in this Section 7.01(a) of this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture; however, beneficial interests in a Global Security may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 7.01(b) or (c) of this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture.

No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 7.01(b)(i) of this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture.

 

(ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Securities. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 7.01(b)(i) of this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either (A) (1) an order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depository in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depository to credit or cause

(iii) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Global Security. A beneficial interest in any Global Security may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 7.01(b)(ii) of this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture and the Registrar receives a certificate in the form of Exhibit B to this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture, including the certifications in item (1) thereof.

Any Certificated Exchangeable Debenture issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Security pursuant to this Section 7.01(c) shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest shall instruct the Registrar through instructions from the Depository and the Participant or Indirect Participant.

Upon request by a Holder of Certificated Exchangeable Debentures and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.01(e) of this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture, the Registrar shall register the transfer or exchange of Certificated Exchangeable Debentures. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder shall present or surrender to the Registrar the Certificated Exchangeable Debentures duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing.

[Reverse of Debenture]

3.25% EXCHANGEABLE SENIOR DEBENTURES DUE APRIL 15, 2024

 

1. Interest.

 

This Debenture shall bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per year on the principal hereof, from March 16, 2004 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which payment has been made or duly provided for, payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning April 15, 2004 (each an “Interest Payment Date”) to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30 (each a “Regular Record Date”) (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Each payment of interest shall include interest accrued for the period (the “Interest Period”), commencing on and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or, if none, March 16, 2004) to, but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date. The amount of interest payable for any Interest Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The amount of interest payable for any partial period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the days elapsed in any partial month.

 

Holders of Debentures at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Regular Record Date will receive payment of interest, including Liquidated Damages, if any, payable on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the exchange of such Notes at any time after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Regular Record Date. Debentures surrendered for exchange by a Holder during the period from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Regular Record Date to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest, including Liquidated Damages, if any, that the Holder is to receive on the Debentures; provided, however, that no such payment need be made if the Company has specified a redemption date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the immediately following Interest Payment Date.

 

The Company or Host REIT is permitted to withhold from payment of interest otherwise due to a Holder, from cash payable to a Holder on redemption or from shares of Host REIT common stock otherwise deliverable to a Holder upon exchange of a Debenture, any amounts that either the Company or Host REIT is required by applicable laws to withhold.

 

2. Method of Payment.

 

The Company shall pay interest on the Debentures (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are the registered Holders at 5:00 p.m. on the Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Debentures to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Debentures will be payable in United States Dollars at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Debentures at the addresses set forth upon the registry books of the Company; provided, however, Holders of Global Securities will be entitled to receive interest payments (other than at maturity) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee not fewer than 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Such wire instructions, upon receipt by the Trustee, shall remain in effect until revoked by such Holder. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

3. Paying Agent, Exchange Agent and Registrar.

 

Initially, the Trustee, shall act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Exchange Agent, Registrar or co-registrar or approve a change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts without notice, other than notice to the Trustee. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may, subject to certain exceptions, act as Paying Agent, Exchange Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.


4. Indenture.

 

The Company issued the Debentures and the Subsidiary Guarantors issued their Guarantees under an Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of August 5, 1998, as supplemented (the “Indenture”), between the Company, its Parents, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The Debentures are limited to $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. The terms of the Debentures include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect on the date of the Indenture. The Debentures are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Debentures are referred to the Indenture and said Act for a statement of them. The Debentures are senior, general obligations of the Company, secured initially by a pledge of Capital Stock of certain Subsidiaries of the Company, which pledge is shared equally and ratably with the Credit Facility, the Existing Senior Notes and certain future Indebtedness of the Company ranking pari passu with the Debentures. Each Holder of this Debenture, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by the provisions of the Indenture, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be provided in the Indenture and (c) appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purpose.

 

5. Redemption at the Option of the Company.

 

No sinking fund is provided for the Debentures. The Debentures shall be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after April 15, 2009, at the Company’s option, at the following prices expressed as a percentage of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the Redemption Date:

 

Redemption Date


   Percentage

 

April 19, 2009

   100.542 %

July 15, 2009

   100.407 %

October 15, 2009

   100.271 %

January 15, 2010

   100.136 %

April 15, 2010 and thereafter

   100.000 %

 

If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Redemption Date, money sufficient to pay the redemption price of any Debentures for which notice of redemption is given, then, on such Redemption Date, such Debentures will cease to be outstanding and interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on such Debentures will cease to accrue, whether or not such Notes are delivered to the Paying Agent, and the rights of Holders in respect thereof shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Redemption Price upon delivery of such Debentures).

 

6. Notice of Redemption.

 

Notice of redemption at the option of the Company shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date to the each Holder of Debentures to be redeemed at the Holder’s registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount.

 

7. Purchase By the Company at the Option of the Holder.

 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to purchase, at the option of the Holder, all or any portion of the Debentures held by such Holder on April 15, 2010, April 15, 2014 and on April 15, 2019 (each a “Repurchase Date”), in integral multiples of $1,000 at a Repurchase Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures to be repurchased.

 

(b) At the option of the Holder and subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to offer to purchase the Debentures held by such Holder upon a Change of Control. The Debentures shall be purchased at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest (including Liquidated Damages), if any, to, but not including, such Change of Control Payment Date (the “Change in Control Payment”).

 

(c) Holders have the right to withdraw any written notice delivered pursuant to Paragraph 7(a) above or Change of Control purchase notice delivered pursuant to Paragraph 7(b), as the case may be, by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.


8. Exchange.

 

(a) The initial Exchange Rate is 54.6448 shares of Host REIT Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity, subject to adjustment in certain events described in the Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture. A Holder that surrenders Debentures for exchange will receive cash in lieu of any fractional share of Host REIT Common Stock based on the Sale Price of the Host REIT Common Stock of the Company on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Exchange Date.

 

(b) Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture (including, without limitation, the conditions to exchange of this Debentures set forth in Article 6 of the Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture) (and subject to the Company’s right to deliver cash or Host REIT Common Stock upon a Principal Value Exchange), a Holder is entitled, at such Holder’s option, to exchange the Holder’s Note into shares of Host REIT Common Stock at the applicable Exchange Rate in effect on the date of exchange.

 

(c) A Debenture in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Repurchase Notice or Change of Control purchase notice, as the case may be, exercising the right of such Holder to require the Company to repurchase such Debenture may be exchanged only if such Repurchase Notice or Change of Control purchase notice is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

 

(d) No payment or adjustment will be made for accrued and unpaid interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) or dividends on the shares of Host REIT Common Stock, except as provided in the Indenture.

 

(e) To surrender a Debenture for exchange, in the case of a Global Security, a Holder must comply with all applicable procedures of the Depository, and in the case of a Certificated Security, a Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the irrevocable exchange notice below (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of such notice) and deliver such notice to the Exchange Agent, (2) surrender the Debenture, if certificated, to the Exchange Agent and in any such case furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and pay any transfer or similar taxes and all other taxes or duties, if required.

 

(f) If the Company or Host REIT is a party to a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange or a transfer of all or substantially all of its assets as set forth in Article 5 of the Indenture, or a merger or binding share exchange which reclassifies or changes the outstanding shares of Host REIT Common Stock, the right to exchange a Debentures into shares of Host REIT Common Stock may be changed into a right to exchange it into securities, cash or other assets of the Company or another Person.

 

9. Events of Default.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to the Debentures occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company), then either the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding may declare all Debentures to be due and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of Debentures may not enforce the Indenture or the Debentures, except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Debentures. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power with respect to such Debentures. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Debentures notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

 

10. Amendments and Waivers.

 

The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture for certain limited purposes without the consent of the Holders. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Debentures may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal


amount of the Debentures then outstanding (except that any amendments or supplements to the provisions relating to security interests or with respect to the Guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall require the consent of the holders of not less than 66% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may under certain circumstances amend or supplement the Indenture or the Debentures to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Debentures.
