Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which such Payor would, but for such redemption, be obligated to make such payment or withholding or later than 90 days after such Payor is first obligated to make such payment or withholding. Prior to the delivery or mailing of any notice of redemption of the Senior Notes pursuant to the foregoing, such Payor shall deliver to the Trustee (1) a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer stating that such Payor is entitled to effect the redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of such Payor to so redeem have occurred and (2) an opinion of an independent tax counsel of recognized international standing to the effect that the circumstances referred to in clause (i) in

the first sentence of this Section 205 exist, and the Trustee shall accept such certificate and such opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent above, which acceptance shall then be conclusive and binding on the Holders of Senior Notes.

Section 206.    Tax Considerations for Holders. Any Payor 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 206 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 207.    Additional Amounts.

All payments made by the Company or any Guarantor (except IR Global and IR Company) or a successor of the Company or such Guarantor (except IR Global and IR Company) (each a “Payor”) on the Senior Notes in respect of interest, premium (if any) and 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:

 

 

shall at any time be required from any payments made with respect to the Senior Notes in respect of interest, premium 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:

 

 

 

 

 

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 (9) 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 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 governmental authority therein).

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

 

 

 

 

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 referred to therein (other than a transfer of the Senior Notes), or the receipt of any payments with respect to the notes or the guarantee, excluding (i) any such taxes, charges’ or similar levies imposed by Luxembourg in case the notes or the guarantee (and/or any documents in connection therewith) are (a) enclosed to a compulsorily registrable deed (acte obligatoirement enregistrable) or (b) deposited with the official records of a notary (déposé au rang des minutes d’un notaire) and (ii) any such taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction other than a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, 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 otherwise considered a resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or governmental authority or agency thereof or therein.

Section 208.    Offer to Redeem Upon Change of Control Triggering Event.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has previously exercised its right to redeem the Senior Notes in full, each Holder of the Senior Notes shall have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Senior Notes 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 the Senior Notes 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 shall be required to send, by electronic delivery or first class mail or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the U.S. Depositary, a notice to each Holder of the Senior Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state:

(i) (a) if delivered or mailed following the date upon which a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred, that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and that such Holder of the Senior Notes has the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Senior Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of the Senior Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date), or (b) if delivered or mailed prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of a pending Change of Control, that a Change of Control is pending and, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, such Holder of the Senior Notes has the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Senior Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of the Senior Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date) and 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;

(ii) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control Triggering Event;

(iii) the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered or mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); and

Holders of the Senior Notes shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date a telegram, telex facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Senior Notes and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Senior Notes purchased.

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

The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or transfer to each Holder of Senior Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Senior Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each such Holder new Senior Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Senior Notes surrendered; provided that each new Senior Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Senior Note shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Paying Agent mails or delivers payment therefor to the Surrendering Holder.

The Company shall 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 in this Section 208 for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Senior Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

The Company shall 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 Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes, the

Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Senior Notes by virtue of such conflict.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities 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 Securities (assuming, for purposes of this definition, that the Securities matured on the Par Call 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 Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received.

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.

Any Payor may elect to redeem the outstanding Securities, in whole but not in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice delivered electronically or mailed by first-class mail to the registered address of each Holder of the Securities or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the U.S. Depositary, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption (a “Tax Redemption Date”), and Additional Amounts, if any, then due or becoming due on the Tax Redemption Date in the event (i) such Payor is, has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Securities, any Additional Amounts or indemnification payments (other than in respect of documentary taxes) as a result of (A) a change or amendment in the laws or treaties (including any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction; or (B) any change or amendment in the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including pursuant to a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction); which change or amendment, in either case, is announced or becomes effective after the date hereof (or, if the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a later date, after such later date) (each of the foregoing in clauses (A) and (B), a “Change in Tax Law”); and (ii) the Company has determined in its business judgment that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which such Payor would, but for such redemption, be obligated to make such payment or withholding or later than 90 days after such Payor is first obligated to make such payment or withholding. Prior to the delivery or mailing of any notice of redemption of the Securities pursuant to the foregoing, such Payor shall deliver to the Trustee (1) a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer stating that such Payor is entitled to effect the redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of such Payor to so redeem have occurred and (2) an opinion of an independent tax counsel of recognized international standing to the effect that the circumstances referred to in clause (i) in the first sentence of the previous paragraph exist, and the Trustee shall accept such certificate and such opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent above, which acceptance shall then be conclusive and binding on the Holders of Securities.

The Company will be required to redeem the Securities of this series at a Redemption Price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the date of initial issuance or the most recent interest payment date to but excluding the special mandatory redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date) (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) if the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of PFS Systems by IR Parent is not completed, or IR Parent’s offer is terminated, on or before January 31, 2020.

If the Company is required to redeem the Securities of this series pursuant to this special mandatory redemption, the Company shall cause the notice of redemption to be delivered electronically or by mail to the Holders of such Securities at their addresses in the Security

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, interest shall cease to accrue on the Securities on and after the Special Mandatory Redemption Date.

“Special Mandatory Redemption Date” means the earlier to occur of (i) January 31, 2020 if IR Parent has not completed the proposed Acquisition on or prior to January 31, 2020, or (ii) the 30th day (or if such day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) following the termination of IR Parent’s offer for any reason.

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 electronic delivery or first class mail or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the U.S. Depositary, 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 delivered or mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice, if delivered or 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:

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 in excess 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.
