TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SENIOR NOTES AND THE RELATED GUARANTEE

Section 201. Designation, Principal Amount and Terms. There is hereby authorized and established pursuant, to Section 301 of the Indenture, a series of Securities designated as the “9.500% Senior Notes due 2014,” with such series guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to the Indenture.

(a) The 9.500% Senior Notes due 2014, and the related Guarantee, shall be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions of, and shall in all respects be subject to, the terms, conditions and covenants of the Indenture and this Second Supplemental Indenture (including the form of Security set forth in Exhibit A-1 hereto and the form of Guarantee set forth in Exhibit A-2 hereto).

Section 202. Optional Redemption. The Company may, at its option, elect to redeem any or all of the outstanding Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice mailed by first-class mail to the registered address of each Holder of the Senior Notes, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed, or (2) as determined by the Quotation Agent (as defined below), the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Senior Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) from the Redemption Date to the date of Maturity, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual

 

2


basis assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months at a discount rate equal to the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50 basis points. Interest will cease to accrue on the Senior Notes or portions of the Senior Notes called for redemption on and after the Redemption Date and the Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Senior Notes being redeemed to the Redemption Date.

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that Redemption Date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Senior Notes to be redeemed that would be used, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Senior Notes.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received.

“Quotation Agent” means J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) each of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., and their respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Quotation Agent.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding that Redemption Date.

Section 203. Additional Issuances. The Company may, at any time, without the consent of the Holders of the Senior Notes, issue additional Senior Notes of the same series having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as any of the existing Senior Notes. Any additional Senior Notes having such similar terms, together with the existing Senior Notes, may constitute a single series of Senior Notes under the Indenture and this Second Supplemental Indenture. No additional Senior Notes may be issued if an Event of Default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Senior Notes.

Section 204. Tax Considerations for Holders. The Company may request at any time from Holders of Senior Notes who are “United States persons” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to provide a properly completed and duly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or valid substitute form) and from Holders of Senior Notes who are not “United States persons” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code to provide a properly completed and duly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY (or valid substitute form). Any such request must be complied with by such Holder or Holders within 30 days’ of the receipt thereof, such request to be made in writing and mailed by first-class mail to the registered address of such Holder or Holders. If a form previously delivered pursuant to this Section 204 expires or becomes obsolete, or if there is a change in circumstances requiring a change in the form previously delivered, the Holder that previously delivered such form shall deliver a new, properly completed and duly executed form on or before the date that the previously delivered form expires or becomes obsolete or promptly after the change in circumstances occurs.

Section 205. Additional Amounts.

All payments made by the Company, the Guarantor or a successor of either of them (each a “Payor”) on the Senior Notes in respect of interest or principal shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (“Taxes”) unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law. If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of:

 

  (1) any jurisdiction from or through which payment on the Senior Notes or the Guarantee is made in respect of interest or principal, or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax; or

 

  (2) any other jurisdiction in which a Payor is organized or otherwise considered to be a resident for tax purposes, or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax (each of clauses (1) and (2), a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”),

shall at any time be required from any payments made with respect to the Senior Notes in respect of interest or principal, the Payor shall pay (together with such payments) such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments by each beneficial owner of the Senior Notes or the Guarantee, as the case may be, after such withholding or deduction (including any such deduction or withholding from such Additional Amounts), equal the amounts which would have been received in respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to:

 

  (1)

any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over the relevant beneficial owner, if the relevant beneficial owner is an estate, nominee, trust or corporation) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including the beneficial owner being a citizen or resident or national of, or carrying on a business or maintaining a

 

4


 

permanent establishment in, or being physically present in, the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction) other than by the mere ownership or holding of such note or enforcement of rights thereunder or under the Guarantee or the receipt of payments in respect thereof;

 

  (2) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed if the beneficial owner had made a declaration of non-residence or any other claim or filing for exemption to which it is entitled (provided that (x) such declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption is required by the applicable law of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from the requirement to deduct or withhold such Taxes and (y) at least 30 days prior to the first payment date with respect to which such declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption is required under the applicable law of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, the relevant beneficial owner at that time has been notified by the Payor or any other person through whom payment may be made that a declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption is required to be made);

 

  (3) any note presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the beneficial owner (except to the extent that the beneficial owner would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the note been presented during such 30 day period);

 

  (4) any Taxes that are payable otherwise than by withholding from a payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, on the Senior Notes or under the Guarantee;

 

  (5) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

 

  (6) any withholding or deduction imposed on a payment to an individual that is required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/ EC on the taxation of savings or any other directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26-27 November, 2000 or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive;

 

  (7) any Taxes which could have been avoided by the presentation (where presentation is required) of the relevant note to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union.

Such Additional Amounts shall also not be payable where, had the beneficial owner of the note been the Holder of the note, it would not have been entitled to payment of Additional Amounts by reason of any of clauses (1) to (7) inclusive above.

The Payor shall (i) make any required withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. The Payor shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts

 

5


evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes and shall provide such certified copies to each Holder. The Payor shall attach to each certified copy a certificate stating (x) that the amount of withholding Taxes evidenced by the certified copy was paid in connection with payments in respect of the principal amount of Senior Notes then outstanding and (y) the amount of such withholding Taxes paid per $1,000 principal amount of the Senior Notes. Copies of such documentation shall be available for inspection during ordinary business hours at the office of the Trustee by the Holders of the Senior Notes upon request and shall be made available at the offices of the Paying Agent.

At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Senior Notes or the Guarantee is due and payable (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises shortly before or after the 30th day prior to such date, in which case it shall be promptly thereafter), if the Payor shall be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Payor shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts shall be payable, the amounts so payable and shall set forth such other information necessary to enable the Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date. Each such Officer’s Certificate shall be relied upon until receipt of a further Officers’ Certificate addressing such matters.

If the Payor conducts business in any jurisdiction (an “Additional Taxing Jurisdiction”) other than a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and, as a result, is required by the law of such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction to deduct or withhold any amount on account of taxes imposed by such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction from payments under the Senior Notes or the Guarantee, as the case may be, which would not have been required to be so deducted or withheld but for such conduct of business in such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction, the Additional Amounts provision described above shall be considered to apply to such Holders or beneficial owners as if references in such provision to “Taxes” included taxes imposed by way of deduction or withholding by any such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein).

Wherever in the Indenture, the Senior Notes or the Guarantee there are mentioned, in any context:

 

  (1) the payment of principal,

 

  (2) purchase prices in connection with a purchase of Senior Notes,

 

  (3) interest, or

 

  (4) any other amount payable on or with respect to the Senior Notes or the Guarantee,

such reference shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts as described under this section to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

The Payor shall pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery or registration of any Senior Notes or any other document or instrument

 

6


referred to therein (other than a transfer of the Senior Notes), or the receipt of any payments with respect to the Senior Notes or the Guarantee, excluding any such taxes, charges’ or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction in which a Paying Agent is located, other than those resulting from, or required to be paid in connection with, the enforcement of the Senior Notes, the Guarantee or any other such document or instrument following the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Senior Notes.

The foregoing obligations shall survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor to a Payor is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.

Section 206. Interest Rate Adjustment.

The interest rate payable on the Senior Notes will be subject to adjustment from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P or, in either case, any substitute rating agency (as defined below) downgrades (or downgrades and subsequently upgrades) the debt rating assigned to the Senior Notes, in the manner described below.

Substitute rating agency” means a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Company’s board of directors) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both of them, as the case may be.

If the rating from Moody’s (or any substitute rating agency) of the Senior Notes is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the Senior Notes shall increase such that it shall equal the interest rate payable on the Senior Notes on the date of their issuance plus the percentage set forth opposite the ratings from the table below:

 

Moody’s Rating*

   Percentage
Points
 

Ba1

   0.25 %

Ba2

   0.50 %

Ba3

   0.75 %

B1 or below

   1.00 %

 

* Including the equivalent rating of any substitute rating agency.

 

7


If the rating from S&P (or any substitute rating agency) of the Senior Notes is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the Senior Notes shall increase such that it shall equal the interest rate payable on the Senior Notes on the date of their issuance plus the percentage set forth opposite the ratings from the table below:

 

S&P Rating*

   Percentage
Points
 

BB+

   0.25 %

BB

   0.50 %

BB-

   0.75 %

B+ or below

   1.00 %

 

* Including the equivalent rating of any substitute rating agency.

If at any time the interest rate on the Senior Notes has been adjusted upward as a result of a decrease in a rating by either Moody’s or S&P (or, in either case, a substitute rating agency), as the case may be, and subsequently such rating agency increases its rating of the Senior Notes to any of the threshold ratings set forth above, the interest rate on the Senior Notes shall be decreased such that the interest rate for the Senior Notes shall equal the interest rate payable on the Senior Notes on the date of their issuance plus the percentages set forth opposite the ratings from the tables above in effect immediately following the increase in rating. If Moody’s (or any substitute rating agency) subsequently increases its rating of the Senior Notes to Baa3 (or its equivalent, in the case of a substitute rating agency) or higher, and S&P (or any substitute rating agency thereof) increases its rating to BBB- (or its equivalent, in the case of a substitute rating agency) or higher, the interest rate on the Senior Notes shall be decreased to the interest rate payable on the Senior Notes on the date of their issuance. In addition, the interest rates on the Senior Notes shall permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described above (notwithstanding any subsequent decrease in the ratings by either or both rating agencies) if the Senior Notes become rated A3 and A- (or the equivalent of either such rating, in the case of a substitute rating agency) or higher by Moody’s and S&P (or, in either case, a substitute rating agency), respectively (or one of these ratings if the Senior Notes are only rated by one rating agency).

Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s or S&P (or, in either case, a substitute rating agency), shall be made independent of (and in addition to) any and all other adjustments. In no event shall (1) the interest rate for the Senior Notes be reduced to below the interest rate payable on the Senior Notes on the date of their issuance or (2) the total increase in the interest rate on the Senior Notes exceed 2.00% above the interest rate payable on the Senior Notes on the date of their issuance.

No adjustments in the interest rate of the Senior Notes shall be made solely as a result of a rating agency ceasing to provide a rating of the Senior Notes. If at any time Moody’s or S&P ceases to provide a rating of the Senior Notes for a reason beyond our control, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a rating of the Senior Notes from a substitute rating agency, to the extent one exists, and if a substitute rating agency exists, for purposes of

 

8


determining any increase or decrease in the interest rate on the Senior Notes pursuant to the tables above, (1) such substitute rating agency shall be substituted for the last rating agency to provide a rating of the Senior Notes but which has since ceased to provide such rating, (2) the relative rating scale used by such substitute rating agency to assign ratings to senior unsecured debt shall be determined in good faith by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company and, for purposes of determining the applicable ratings included in the applicable table above with respect to such substitute rating agency, such ratings shall be deemed to be the equivalent ratings used by Moody’s or S&P, as applicable, in such table and (3) the interest rate on the Senior Notes shall increase or decrease, as the case may be, such that the interest rate equals the interest rate payable on the Senior Notes on the date of their issuance plus the appropriate percentage, if any, set forth opposite the rating from such substitute rating agency in the applicable table above (taking into account the provisions of clause (2) above) (plus any applicable percentage resulting from a decreased rating by the other rating agency). For so long as only one of Moody’s or S&P provides a rating of the Senior Notes and no substitute rating agency is offered to replace the other rating agency, any subsequent increase or decrease in the interest rate of the Senior Notes necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by the agency providing the rating shall be twice the percentage set forth in the applicable table above. For so long as none of Moody’s, S&P or a substitute rating agency provides a rating of the Senior Notes, the interest rate on the Senior Notes shall increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the interest rate payable on the Senior Notes on the date of their issuance. If Moody’s or S&P either ceases to rate the Senior Notes for reasons within the Company’s control or ceases to make a rating of the Senior Notes publicly available for reasons within the Company’s control, the Company shall not be entitled to obtain a rating from a substitute rating agency and the increase or decrease in the interest rate of the Senior Notes shall be determined in the manner described above as if either only one or no rating agency provides a rating of the Senior Notes, as the case may be.

Any interest rate increase or decrease described above shall take effect on the next Business Day after the rating change has occurred.

If the interest rate payable on the Senior Notes is increased as described above, the term “interest,” as used with respect to the Senior Notes, shall be deemed to include any such additional interest unless the context otherwise requires.

If any rating agency decreases or increases its rating of the Senior Notes resulting in an adjustment to the per annum interest rate on the Senior Notes pursuant to this Section 206, the Company shall notify the Trustee of such rating decrease or increase and interest rate adjustment and the date such interest rate is effective no later than the earlier to occur of (a) the Business Day prior to the next interest payment date following public announcement of such rating decrease or increase and (b) the fifth Business Day following public announcement of such rating decrease or increase, although the failure to give such notice shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder.

Section 207. Additional Default.

In accordance with Section 9.01(3) of the Indenture, Section 5.01 is amended solely with respect to the Senior Notes by adding the following subsection:

(8) Consummation of the proposed reorganization specified in IR Limited’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the Special Court Ordered Meeting, filed with the Commission on March 30, 2009 (the “Reorganization”) without execution of a supplemental indenture effective as of the effective date of the Reorganization, adding as a guarantor of the Senior Notes under the Indenture Ingersoll-Rand plc, an Irish company, or any other Person described as an intended guarantor of the Senior Notes under “About Us—Reorganization” in the Company’s final prospectus supplement dated March 31, 2009, relating to the Senior Notes, to the extent such person becomes a guarantor in respect of the Company’s 4.50% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2012.

Section 208. Amendments or Supplements Without Consent of Holders. In addition to any permitted amendment or supplement to the Indenture pursuant to Section 901 of the Indenture, the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Senior Notes without notice to or the consent of any Holder of the Senior Notes:

(15) to conform this Second Supplemental Indenture and the form or terms of the Senior Notes to the section entitled “Description of Notes” as set forth in the final prospectus supplement related to the offering and sale of the Senior Notes dated March 31, 2009; or

(16) to add guarantees with respect to the Senior Notes.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of August 12, 2008, as supplemented (herein called the “Indenture”), among the Company, Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (herein called the “Guarantor”, which term includes any successor guarantor under the Indenture) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 or more than 60 days’ notice by mail to the Holders of such Securities at their addresses in the Security Register for such series, at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of:

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, or

(ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent (as defined below), the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) from the Redemption Date to the date of Maturity, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months at a discount rate equal to the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50 basis points.

Interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions of the Securities called for redemption on and after the Redemption Date.

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that Redemption Date.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received.

Morgan Securities Inc., and their respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Quotation Agent.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding that Redemption Date.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event. Unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem this Security in full as described above, the Indenture provides that each Holder of the Securities of this series will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Securities of this series pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Securities of this series on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

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 will be required to send, by first class mail, a notice to each Holder of the Securities of this series, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will 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, will 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 electing to have Securities purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender their Securities, with the form below entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” completed, to the paying agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Securities 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.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

 

  1. accept for payment all Securities of this series (or portions of Securities of this series) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

  3. deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities of this series properly accepted for purchase, together with an officer’s certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series (or portions of Securities of this series) being purchased.

The paying agent will promptly mail to each Holder of properly tendered Securities the purchase price for the Securities, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each such Holder new Securities equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Securities surrendered; provided, that each new Security will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereof.

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 properly tendered Securities of this series not withdrawn under its offer.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of the Securities of this series as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities of this series, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities of this series by virtue of such conflict.

For purposes of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities, the following terms will be applicable:

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Securities of this series cease to be rated Investment Grade by at least two of the three Rating Agencies on any date during the Trigger Period.

  5. the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Guarantor; or

 

  6. the failure of the Guarantor to own, directly or indirectly, at least 51% of the Voting Stock of the Company.

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.
